WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: December 28th [Backdated]
WHERE: Kansas then New York
WHAT: Going home
WARNING: Sigh

They couldn't stay in Kansas any longer. It was a short trip but they only stayed another day so Greed could recover from his human body wounds and aches and so could Zoe. They'd decided to be friends and if they stayed longer they might end up doing something they'd regret. Probably not right away but they would regret it eventually. So after a night spent tangled in each others arms because it'd be the last, they finally packed up and after a a goodbye to Robert, they headed out.

Zoe's ankle was mostly better and she got in the car. They had a bit of a ride before they got to the airport. She looked at Greed, "Um.. are you.. going to be okay once we leave..? You're not.. you're not going to.." she pointed at her temple and twirled her finger around making the universal signal for 'crazy', "..are you?" since last time they were in New York, he had almost gotten her killed and been a general jerkface.

Zoe nodded, she was looking at him, not his bag. She was wondering if he was going to suddenly decide he wanted to pilot the plane and then they'd crash. As sad as it was, she didn't have blind trust in him anymore. She hoped he was going to be at levels she could handle but after the past month.. well, she was bracing herself for the worst. "Maybe pace yourself.." cause knowing him he could inhale that entire bag in an hour.

He shoved a piece of candy towards her. "It's chocolate." He was still sharing, which meant his body was fighting hack and forth between the human side and Sin side. The little yellow silk flower poked into view as he shuffled around that bag some more looking for a drink. He picked it up now waving it in front of her face. The color yellow signified friendship, but Greed knew better. It was his color, so it meant more than that. It was also the first thing he'd actually given her that wasn't completely for his own gain.

Zoe looked surprised but took the candy, "Thanks.." she was going to miss this slightly less crazy Greed. It meant she got chocolate. Greed had never given her a true gift so when he waved the flower in front of her face, she didn't connect it that it was for her. She made no move towards it, just saw the yellow, figured he liked it and wanted to have it. "Oh that's pretty." she commented on the flower.

Greed frowned. That wasn't what she was supposed to do with it. He took her hand, curling her fingers around its paper stem and shoved it towards her. "It's yours."

Zoe looked downright shocked as he curled her hand around it, "What.. what for?" her mouth dropped open and she looked at the flower and then smiled a little, clearly pleased (still shocked though). She quickly shook her head and pointed the flower at him for him to take back, "Chance, I can't accept this.. we're friends now." she said the words softly and she hated to give it up but she didn't want him to get the wrong idea if she took the flower. When they were actually dating he'd never gotten her flowers.

Zoe gave him a helpless look and then looked at the flower again before looking at him, "Alright.. but as a friend." her eyes drifted back to the silk flower and the smile she was trying to hide wouldn't be held back anymore. She twirled the stem and then looked at him, her eyes shining, obviously very touched by the simple gift. "It's beautiful. Thank you." before she could stop herself she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Greed waved her off. Whatever she wanted to believe. It was hers now. Part of him and all that jazz. She'd accepted it. That meant more than a simple gift being handed over. She accepted him. It would be interesting to see how long they could keep---

She kissed his cheek and instead of looking on he leaned his head over for another kiss. This one far more intimate for their new relationship.

Zoe leaned as far back as she could when he came in for another kiss, a hand on his chest in a motion to stop him. She blinked, her eyes wide and hurt, "Chance...!" she said harshly and in disbelief. She frowned, "Did what we talk about mean nothing to you?" especially the part about how he didn't want to hurt or disappoint her anymore and she didn't do casual kissing with friends, because their current position made it seem like he didn't care about any of that. Oh God.. is that why he got her a flower? Because he thought it meant she'd kiss him? So much for not being disappointed.

In his defense they made out quite a few times when in the friends zone. So Greed saw no difference. It was a simple kiss right? He just needed it.

He growled under his breath. "Just one?" He asked in a squeaky voice and pointer finger.

Zoe gave him a look, "No! Not even one. Kansas was.. we were trying to figure things out and now we have and we're friends. And we're not going to be like friends like we were before." and he knew what she meant, no kisses, no cuddles, no sleepovers.

She sighed as she looked at his eager face, still holding him off. She knew to him it didn't mean anything but 'meaningless' kisses were what caused her to end up in a mess of feels. She just couldn't kiss him without it meaning something to her. "Maybe we should just be friends over the phone..."

Regardless of her reprimand Greed kissed her cheek. He flew back in his seat, hoarding the chocolate to stuff in his mouth. At least it wouldn't back talk him about the lines he shouldn't cross. He knew what he promised, he wasn't going to warm up to the idea easily.

Zoe blushed a little with a smile and touched her cheek. "Thank you." though she didn't know what she was thanking him for.. not kissing her on the lips? God, her life had become so ridiculous ever since he came into it. She took one of the chocolates and looked at him, saying half jokingly because of his huffy and horny state, "It's a long flight. Do you want me to sit somewhere else..?"

"No!" He insisted through a full mouth of chocolate. Of course it was right about the time the flight attendant strolled by to ask what they wanted to drink. Greed looked at the cart, at the strawberry blonde who asked the question, then to Zoe with a whine.

Zoe just looked at Greed and then turned her attention to the other woman, "I'll have a coke and he'll have whatever comes in a bottle. Preferably something that has a sedative slipped into it." The flight attendant giggled, "Your boyfriend a talker?" Zoe said flatly, "He's not my boyfriend."

The attendant perked up as she poured the drink, "Really now?" her bright smile all for Greed.

Zoe rolled her eyes and pressed the tips of her fingers to the bridge of her nose. "Can you make mine a rum and coke?" this was going to be a long flight..

After a few hearty chews Greed swallowed down the lump of chocolate. He quirked his lips into a goofy smile as the attendant shook one of the bottles. "Will this do?" Greed nodded quickly with a wave of his hand. "More?" The pretty girl asked. She handed Zoe her drink then a few bottles to Greed, who quickly washed down the sweet taste in his mouth.

Sliding one more bottle onto his tray, the girl slipped a piece of paper underneath with a wink before moving on. Instead of looking at it Greed took his bottles and stuffed them into the seat net, folded up his tray and snuggled his head on Zoe's shoulder.

Zoe took a few sips of her drink as she watched the attendant shamelessly flirt with Greed. Okay, so she'd have to get used to this and she knew Greed would be sleeping with everything that walked under the sun that had boobs and a pretty face but she really didn't want it to be right in front of her.

Zoe snatched the paper before it could get locked up with the tray or float to the ground and looked at it with a quirked brow. She put two fingers against Greed's head on her shoulder and pushed it off. She handed him the slip of paper without looking at him, "You have an invitation to join the mile high club." she sipped her drink again.

Greed stuffed the paper in his empty bottle, finishing off the drink to the first round and nestled it in the net. His head went right back to her shoulder, shuffling in his seat with a bouncy, pouty grin. "Stop moving." She was more comfortable still. Eventually his head would flop forward to her chest (it made a great pillow!) until he was jolted back awake. He would fight her again to get comfortable in his seat, finally settling in a pose with his head laid back on his headrest with a blanket stuffed underneath his neck for support.

Zoe looked surprised by what he did but just raised her brows. She laughed a little when he kept trying to snuggle into her shoulder and she trying to push him off. "Hey, hey, hey!" she said when his head went on her chest and she 'helped' move him back to his seat while shaking her head.

Zoe fell asleep soon, the rum and coke acting like a nice lullaby in her system as she was curled up in her seat. Her head was against the headrest but there was turbulence that kept jostling her. She didn't wake but shifted in her sleep closer to Greed, snuggling into his side as the blanket slid down some. It was just.. second nature.
