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.

"That's just sad. Don't you miss it?" He wasn't sure how he would ever cope with that. The excess would suffocate themselves with sex. It was just a part of all three of them, it was something they needed. Like water and air to breathe. So, for Greed understanding it in the way Zoe presented it just felt foreign to him. It didn't matter how she swung it.

"You've gotten into the swing of things with me before---wait you said almost. With who?" It better not have been that tree.

Zoe shrugged, "I don't know.. I miss being close with somebody. Sex isn't for me what it is for you. Or other people. It can be fun but for me it's like another way of showing this person how much you care about them. How much you trust them and it's something special. When you share your body with everyone then who cares, when I'm with someone I want them to know that I really want to be with them. That no one else gets to see me like that because everything I have is for only for them. And if it's right.. you don't really need anybody else. When you do it with feelings and emotions, it just.. it's better."

She chuckled, "I have with you before because I... feel stuff for you." but when he asked with who she almost did, her gaze went to the side and she purposely ignored it as if she didn't hear. She widened her eyes and slapped her hands lightly on his chest, "You know what, I almost forgot, there's cake. We should eat it before it goes bad."

"Are you describing sex or chocolate cake. I can't be sire, because I am always one with chocolate." He was making jokes but part of him---"I envy you for that. For getting to experience something as if its the last time you'll have it, so you make the most of it. You make it memorable." It was the part he always wanted to have.

"You just said you wanted a nap."

Zoe smiled, "Must be why I like you so much, I love chocolate.." her smile softened as he admitted his truth and she shook her head, "You've never felt anything like that? When you're intimate with someone you love, it's like.. it's just the two of you. The whole world falls away. Something.. happens to you." she touched the pads of her fingers to his, "Your hands ache for them. And touching anybody else's skin won't satiate." she moved the tips of her fingers apart and let them fall between his, closing them around his fingers. "It becomes loving them with every piece of you, body as well as heart. It's everything." she shrugged, to her there was nothing bigger than that, than having someone completely, though not a lot of people saw it that way.

She grinned at him and tugged on his hand to move him closer so she could peck his lips, "Yes, but you'll just feel me up in my sleep and it'll defeat the purpose. So might as well have cake."

He pulled his hand away from hers, his eyes dropping from her gaze. "No, I don't know," his voice a soft expression to his usual behavior. He pulled his hand completely from her grasp. He didn't like the way she talked about feelings in a way she thought he understood. He may have been cut from the cloth of humanity, able to feel things in a humanistic way, but this was a slap in the face. He curled up. She always made him feel like Chance, like just a boy, but right now he was Greed.

"Yay cake." But he didn't move, his voice less through enthusiastic.

Zoe looked at him in concern and her mouth dropped open a little as she realized her mistake. "Oh, Chance.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean.." she sighed as he curled up and she could feel the distance he threw up between them. She moved to her side, moving closer to him, speaking softly, "I'm sorry.. I forget sometimes. To me you're just.. Chance. My annoying, goofy, incredible boyfriend." to her, he wasn't the Sin of Greed that belonged to the world, he wasn't an idea. He was just that cute boy that she was crazy about. She nuzzled him to get him to look at her, staying close to him, her face right next to his, "Plus.." she continued softly, "Do you know how I know those things..?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He refused to look at her, he even stuck his nose in the air. "You don't ever make me Greed, you've always seen me. If its so easy to forget, you'll find out one day that you can't see me as anything else." He held back from telling her still about Lust because he didn't want Zoe to look at him like that. He liked that she could see something else.

"How?" He asked in a pout, curling his knees up.

Zoe sighed as he talked. She always told him she always saw the real him, who he was, not what he was.

She smiled softly as he still pouted but she stayed close. She leaned in even closer till her nose touched his lightly, speaking as if she was telling him a secret, "Because.. I feel them with you." she hadn't lied before when she said she hadn't felt like this about anyone before. When she spoke about these things, she wasn't talking abut the past. She was talking about the present, what she wanted with him, what she felt for him. She always considered them on the same page, just maybe in the feelings area, she was a couple of chapters ahead.

Big blue eyes stared back at her like a mirror. The more she explained the more he hated her for being able to have that. But he had her, so it was as close as he'd get to having it. She made him someone else, he wanted to understand and emulate, but he wasn't emulating--it was the real puppy love in the only way a sin coupd have it. It was his sinlyness that would ultimately ruin it.

He leaned in for a kiss. "I want cake."

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe knew he couldn't love her. But sometimes when she looked in his eyes.. it made her tummy feel warm and she could feel something from him. She hoped she wasn't imagining it. Maybe it wasn't love.. but it was more than she thought possible. More than he had. And if they made it this far.. then.. then who knew.

She smiled as his lips touched hers and she whispered, "It can wait a minute.." her arms going around his neck so she could keep kissing him. Maybe he couldn't feel for her what she did for him.. but she was going to try her damned hardest to make sure he could feel what she felt for him.
