WHO: UK George & Lust
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: George's place, restaurant
WHAT: Date night!
WARNING: Lust so all the warnings.


Lust wore a classic black dress for her date with George. He was a Saint so she figured too much exposure might make his brain explode. The dress looked classy enough except when you took into account the fact it was nearly backless with a nice low neckline, and a slit up the side till her thigh. Plus there was a good chance she wasn't wearing underwear because she saw it more as dress up for the boudoir than an every day necessity. She never wore perfume because her natural scent was intoxicating. Her hair was wavy and lush and she looked like any man would be lucky to have her on his arm tonight.

When George finally would open the door, Lust held up a bouquet of roses with a smile that could pass for devilish or sweet.

Lust made a face, "No, not thrilled he's banging my sister. He wouldn't even be with her if it wasn't for me. I'm the one that told her to make a move since she was lusting for the idiot and he wouldn't know how to make a move if his life depended on it. Kinda like you. And what thanks do I get? Grief and misery and his pointy nose stuck into my business all the time. I'd boil him in hot oil but Wrath has a thing about not wanting him harmed or something." she waved her hand like 'kids and their weird conditions'.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"People tend to dislike their dates being boiled alive, yes," George said dryly. "He loves her very much though. I think you did them a favor, getting them together."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust made a whatever face, "He'd come back to life..." saying it almost like a kid.

She sighed, "Yeah yeah, go me. Not that either of them acknowledge it. Dickslayer wouldn't even be with Wrath if it wasn't for me and he acts like I'm a plague that he has to wipe out." she looked at him, "I wanted to see my sister happy, that's all." despite how damn selfish the Sins were, family was very important to them. Only seven of them there were and they looked out for each other. Lust loved Wrath's violent side but her self hatred was something none of her siblings wanted for her.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"And he wants to see her happy, too," George said. "I wasn't kidding about him mooning over her like a schoolboy. He's not very subtle about his affections. Did you and him have any sort of fight?"

He was actually a bit curious about it, since the Yankee hadn't mentioned much regarding any of the Sins besides Wrath. George wondered if the American Sins were very different from the ones he knew.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

She looked thoughtful, "No." she pouted. "He's just mean all the time to me. Says it's his job to stop me from doing what I do. You'd think he'd try to be nicer to his girlfriend's family. Maybe if he was we wouldn't want to stab him in the face all the time. But he's just a giant dick." there was that one incident on the street but to Lust that wasn't a fight, that was just getting in her way.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"It is actually his job, I'm sorry to say," George said, taking Lust's explanation with a grain of salt. "You should be glad he just nags you. My version of Wrath and I came to blows the last time we met."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

"Yes.. and isn't my job to do what I do? If the world lacked Sin frankly you both would be out of a job. And he'd be pretty miserable not having anyone to nag or fix." she bit out that last word. She laughed, "In a physical match I still have him beat."

She paused, now curious herself as she looked at him, "What's your Wrath like?"

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"I don't think either of us would mind being out of a job, really," George said, voice more wistful than he intended it. Shaking his head, he said, "And I don't know her very well. The last time I saw her was in the riots. I punched her, she hit me with a bat. Neither of us were happy to see the other. And do you have a destination in mind, because I can get us a cab."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

"Pretend for a night you're on vacation, George." she nodded, "I can get the cab, come on." as always it didn't take much more time than a second for some cab to magically screech to a halt when Lust wanted a ride somewhere. She normally wound up with more than one to choose from. She gave the driver an address.

She curled her arm around George's again, resting her head on his shoulder, "My Wrath used to be violent but Dickslayer messes with her mind. She's the only one of us seven that gets along with the whole family believe it or not." she said it with some amused fondness before it faded as she added, "Used to anyway."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

George didn't bother asking her to move. At least she wasn't groping him. "What happened to change things?"

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

She practically growled, "Your horrible pointy nosed jackass lesser version happened." she huffed again, "She's the only sister I don't hate."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"Have you told her that?" George asked. He certainly hadn't started the night planning to play relationship counselor for the Sins across the pond, but he had to admit, it was morbidly interesting.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust looked insulted, "She knows. She still chooses Dickslayer over family. Even though he's no fun. He takes everything personally." she said it in an exhausted voice with a roll of her eyes as she hung on to his arm like it was a teddy bear.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

George smiled despite himself. "And you don't think you've contributed anything to this situation at all? It just sprang up that way?'

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust gave George a delicious smile, those lips of hers close enough to kiss as she leaned her head back, "Is this the face of a troublemaker?" she asked with feigned innocence.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"Yes," George said, still smiling. His eyes flicked up. "Oh, we're stopping. Are we here, then?"

Quick, someone take a picture or no one will believe it happened

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust grinned, staying still dangerously close, "You're adorable when you're grumpy, George but you're quite sexy when you smile."

She nodded and got out of the cab, she didn't pay. Lust never paid. George could if he felt like it. The restaurant she picked was one of the oldest in London. It retained it's old fashioned charm with a floor for dancing and an incredibly pricey menu.

George's smile does not appear in photographs, like a vampire xD

George handed money to the cabbie, who was staring fairly unabashedly at Lust. He stepped from the cab and looked up at the restaurant, tilting his head in recognition. "I remember when they built this. The original owner ran away with a serving girl, it was quite the scandal."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust smiled as she took his arm, "He didn't love his wife. In the end, it worked out for the best." she gave him a look, "Sin isn't a bad thing. We aren't wizards, we can't force people to do what they aren't capable of. We simply find what's already there and bring it to the surface."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"That's not quite the truth, though," George said as they walked up the steps to the door. "I've had some encounters with this country's Greed, and the Yankee tells me that people who live around Wrath tend to kill themselves, or others. You're catalysts."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust waved her hand dismissively as they got inside, "Weak minded people tend to be naturally influenced by our presence. But again, if the person doesn't have existing rage or self loathing, greed, or sexual carnal urges, we aren't going to be able to affect them much. We just open the cage. The beast inside is all you."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"I'm not arguing that," George said as they were led to their table. He waited until he was seated across from Lust to say, "But I'm not sure it's fair to provoke us past what would happen naturally. Especially since the results can sometimes ruin lives."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust looked at the menu and smiled, George was so adorable. "A solider gets wounded in battle and you rescue him, because you're a Saint, you would. What would happen naturally is he would die. You're altering that course. He lives, he becomes a wife beater, an alcoholic, runs out of money, robs a bank, kills two cops who have families and then gets gunned down himself." she put the menu down and looked at him, "That's ruining a lot of lives."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"Saving a man is not the same thing as stoking the things inside of him that can make him a monster," George said, folding his hands across the table. "One is salvation and the other is destruction. And they might be intertwined, but they aren't the same."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

"Ah, but you saved a man who is a monster. Who went on to wreck so many lives. What you thought was salvation was ultimately destruction." she put her hand on George's, skin on skin contact with Lust was enough to heighten a man's attraction but it was natural for her. "We don't destroy anyone. We give them tools and if they use them for destruction.." she shrugged.
