WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: November 28 [Backdated]
WHERE: W hotel
WHAT: Two birthdays for the price of one!
WARNING: Fluffy fluff or I will strangle them o_o


Zoe wasn't taking Satan's threat lightly. She was terrified of the blonde and had jumped more than a few times since the run in two days ago. Greed thought it'd be best if they spent some time apart for safety reasons but the 28th was Zoe's birthday and she was 25 today. And she'd made a promise to Greed that she'd share her birthday with him since he'd never had one. So Satan or not, she intended to keep her promise. A promise was something sacred to her and not even the fires of hell were enough to make her break one.

She picked the W hotel again because they had had good luck with it last time. No one had spotted them and it seemed to not be in the path of Virtues or general folk of the hell variety. She wore a yellow dress with black tights, not as fancy as the one that Greed had gotten her (which she had accepted as an early birthday present) because that one was tainted with Satan's threats. But this one had belonged to Zoe's grandmother, and like most of Zoe's clothes, had been tailored to fit her. She hoped Greed liked it just the same. She'd done the same trick with the keycard as before when she'd arrived and now sat on the edge of the bed and sent a text to Greed which was cryptic but she had confidence he'd understand it:

Your room's ready, Mr. Grolls.

Zoe sighed, "I hate you.." she made a face as she looked at sleeping Ava and then back at him. She put a hand on the bed to get up, "I'm going to take them off in the bathroom.."

Greed watched her from the bed impatiently. "Would asking you to take off the dress too be too much?" He yelled at the closed door, eyes fixed on it until it creeped open. There they were, those pretty legs she'd been hiding all this time.

He patted the bed for her to sit, crawling all over her once she did.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe shouted back, "A tad." she opened the door a crack and peeked out before sighing again helplessly and emerging with naked legs. There was a reason you wore tights with this dress, it cut off a little too high for Zoe's liking. Other girls wore shorter dresses than this out in public with nothing on underneath but other girls were not Zoe.

She dropped down on the bed and grinned when he crawled all over her. She tried to sneakily move backwards and try to get out from under him, "You know, these days I seem to be losing my clothes around you instead of the other way around." since normally he had been the one in various states of undress when they were first together.

"You should show those off a lot more." Reclining over her legs like a cat he reached over to grab the glass of water and the small piece of cardstock he'd pulled out of his wallet.

Still stretched across her thighs, he raised her dress enough to reveal a spot on her outer thigh, just below the curve of her hip. He laid the cardstock down, his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. Then he dipped his fingers into the water and spread it over the paper. When it was soaked enough he waited a few seconds and pealed it away revealing a golden frog (http://www.tattooforaweek.com/images/frog_back_tattoo.jpg) tattoo.

Zoe fidgeted with a grin but looked nervous as he fiddled with her legs. "I don't think anyone needs to see them.."

She almost stopped him when he started to raise her dress but let him do what he wanted, watching curiously. When he revealed the frog tattoo, she burst out laughing and kicked her feet against the mattress. She leaned a little to look at it and then laughed again and looked at him, "Did you just brand me?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"You're right, then they'll be walking up to you. Can't have strangers stalking you can we?" He giggled.

Greed blew over the tattoo with his breath, tapping it with his fingers quickly to be sure it was dry. "What?" he looked at her as if it was perfectly normal for him to stick tattoos on her skin like he was initialing his lunch box.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

A slight pink crept into Zoe's cheeks but she shook her head mock seriously, "See, I'd just explain to them politely that I already have a stalker. But I'll take their application to keep on file."

She pursed her lips, trying to suppress a grin, "You know what." she shoved his shoulder to try to get him away from her legs and then looked at the tattoo again. This was definitely a first. She looked at him, "So what does this exactly mean?" looking very amused.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"That's right," he sharply nodded his head. He traced a finger over the golden frog and the tribal shape it sat on. "It means you have a frog on your thigh." He leaned up, still draped on her legs for a stolen kiss, then back to doodling invisible lines on her skin. "I should have put it on your boob because no one sees those either."

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe chuckled, "Oh really, I thought I had an ass on my thigh." and she poked his shoulder. She gave him a look as he talked about her boobs, narrowing her eyes, "Remind me again why I thought being your girlfriend was a good idea..?" but she didn't move from his touch, in fact her arm went around his neck, she was curious.. he was such a showy guy but.. "How come you wanted it hidden?" not that she was complaining, it'd be hard to explain a frog tattoo, even a temporary one.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"Because I'm so devastatingly handsome that you couldn't resist. Plus, I had a baby on my arm, there was no chance in hell you could say no with a baby on the arm." He rested his chin against her leg, fingers still circling her skin. "Just a way for me to get you to drop those horrible black tights." He laughed but once it tapered off, he turned his head, cheek now resting on her bare thigh. "So no one could find you." Putting his initials on her out in the open would just make her a beacon for anyone looking for her. But he knew, he wanted her to know she was his.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe smiled softly and idly ran her fingers through his hair, "You know, sometimes.." she trailed off and didn't know how to say it as she started again, "Sometimes.." she shook her head and leaned down to kiss his head in a way that he'd know she cherished him.

She said quietly next to his ear, "Can I put my tights back on now?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed smiled against her leg, white teeth and all with a snort. "Not a chance. That would completely defeat the purpose of all my hard work here." He snuggled his cheek back down against her thigh, completely content like this. He didn't get to snuggle like this with Lust.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe laughed lightly, "I find it hard to believe you haven't seen legs before or touched them.." she wriggled hers that he was snuggling. But she was still sitting up and said, "Hey.. can I ask you for a favor?" she seemed to hesitate and then made a face, "I mean I know it sounds weird but.." she shook her head, wringing her hands, "I mean, we don't have to just.. you know, the whole," she threw her hands up defensively, "Satan's trying to kill us thing, it's been a little.. stressful. I haven't been sleeping much. We are on a bed.. and I sleep better when you're there. Can we... take a nap?" the suggestion sounded odd to her own ears but it was the sad truth, she just felt safe with Greed, she could always sleep when he was there.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He stapled his arms over, running one hand sown the length of her leg and back up. So smooth. "I get you alone and you want a nap?" He sounded so defeated, his words exhasperated. He grinned over his shoulder. "Like last time?" She'd spoiled him into rolling around without clothes. At least it was a way to have her.

"Oh," he lightly slapped his hands on legs like a drum. "Ever been to Kansas?" He peeked over his shoulder again with a cheeky grin.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

"You can molest my legs as much as you want if you let me sleep for twenty minutes." she sighed, completely exhausted. "I keep falling asleep in class.. I just need a tiny bit of rest where I'm not worried the fires of hell are going to consume me." she gave him a look and peeled him off her, putting her hands on his upper arms and pushing him down against the bed with all her weight put into it. "No, not like last time. We are not taking our clothes off in front of Ava."

She looked down at him and frowned, "Kansas..? We drove through it once. Why?" she folded her arms on his chest and used him as a pillow, letting out a big sigh as she relaxed. His own damn fault for always recommending himself as bed supplies, now she was used to it.

Autocorrect you bastard!

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"Why not? She was born naked! It's natural." He couldn't stop laughing when she threw him down to the bed up under her. "This should be emasculating--" but he liked it. This was an unusual side to Zoe.

His laughing stopped but that big wide grin stayed. "A place I can be normal." Which meant they could be together without him bursting into flames.

-patpats- XD

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

"She's traumatized enough." she rolled her eyes, "Yes, poor you."

She snuggled into him, her eyes closed but then grinned and looked at him, her chin on his chest, "I don't think I would ever use the word 'normal' to describe you." she narrowed her eyes, "You know, whenever you smile like that, it means you got something up your sleeve." she lifted herself up a little, "Should I start running? Will there be police involved?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

His fingers threaded in her hair. "Rude!" He paused a moment, tapping a finger against his lips. "Hmm...good question. There might be cops. Depends on what I steal out of the airport security." He waved her to come closer so that he wasn't looking at her on a downward angle. "Wrath told me about it. There's a place in Kansas that's like a neutralizer for us. Immortal peeps I mean." He walked his fingers up her nose, "Which means you and I can be together." He bopped her nose once, his words having slowed down with each movement.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe moved closer, listening to see what his fascination with Kansas was. "I'm too pretty for prison. Can't you get arrested in Fiji so I can at least go to the beach?"

She wrinkled her nose when he tapped it but blinked. Her mouth dropped open and she smiled brightly, "Really!?" her hand hitting his chest out of excitement. Her smile faded though as she looked to the side in thought, a frown creasing her features.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"You?" he put a hand to his chest. "What about me? I don't do well inside prison. Walls, cages, big ugly men." He shivered. "I'm way too pretty for cages."

"Yes really. It's like some urban legend shit or something but--" it was exciting just thinking about it. He had already bought tickets, but she didn't know that yet. "What?"

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe didn't look him in the eye as she kept thinking. She sighed and shook her head, "I don't know. I mean, we should look into it more. How does it work? Will it hurt you? I don't want neutralize to mean it's going to kill you or something. How will it effect you and..." she let out a breath and looked at his chest, "I'm just thinking-- and I want to, of course I do. Just.. you've waited a long time for this. What if.. what if you don't like it? Or it's not what you expected. Or you decide it's not enough and you want random girls.." she was making it about him for one very simple reason. Even if on some off chance it was the worst sex in the world, Zoe wouldn't care. She just wanted him. But he needed more.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"I dunno how it works!" he threw his arms out, "who cares. As long as some demon spawn or hell king isn't kissing my ass by then how's it going to hurt?" Greed didn't know what he was really asking for. To be stripped of his greedy-ness would open the door to so much more than what he was bargaining for. It would open the door for being a normal boy with normal feelings in their entirety. What Zoe had for him and what he was trying to understand he had for her in his own sinly way.

"Why wouldn't I like it?" He gave her an odd look. "You didn't used to be a man did you?" He looked down. "I can run with it."

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe rubbed his chest, "Let me research it a little, okay? I just don't want it to.. I don't know. I just want us to be careful."

She grinned and looked down when he not only suggested she had been a dude but he would be okay with it. "As disturbingly sweet as that is.. I was not a man before. Just.." she moved her head back and forth, "It's... been awhile for me and you're.. you're.. you know." she looked to the side and played with his shirt, "It's like when you see this roller coaster and it looks like so much fun and all you want to do is go on that roller coaster and you wait in this long line, forever. And you finally go on the ride... but it makes you dizzy and it's not that fun, and you just end up vomiting and deciding it wasn't worth it."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"What if I already got tickets?" He squinted his eyes, opening up one just slightly to watch her reaction. They opened fully at her little description. "Is that how you ride roller coasters? Oh my god, Zoe---" he shook his head. Even when he had felt that same upchuck reflex after kissing her the first time he kept on diving right in. Deciding things weren't worth the jump---it just wasn't how he did things.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe looked surprised and slowly smiled, "You did..?" she seemed excited though, she couldn't contain it. She liked the idea of being with him without him turning into a bonfire.

She laughed a little and shook her head, "Chance, no! You're not listening." she hit his chest with her fists lightly and gave him an exasperated look, "I'm saying what if you think it's going to be one way and it's not. What if you're disappointed? Or.." she looked troubled as another thought came to her, which was sort of worse than the first and she looked at him, "What if you won't want me anymore after you finally have me..?" she knew it was one of the reasons he liked her so much. Kansas would change everything.
