He slapped his vest back and forth against the couch when she took off. There was just so much anger and hurt floating around that he was trying to channel and centralize instead of it being thrown on Zoe. He flung the vest a final time with a heavy puff of breath. He left her alone for all of five minutes before going outside to find her. He was feeling suffocated inside.
He found her by the lake curled up. The sun glistened off the lake in sheets almost like crystals bouncing off and singing towards the sky. "Are you done hating me?" He huffed. He stared at that lake though pretty heavily. Almost like he was contemplating. He remembered her saying he was getting swimming lessons...and in his crazy brain maybe that would get them out of this funk. He'd spent so long trying to keep his worlds apart, it was bound to seep together. He just wanted to keep shoving them apart. He walked past her, quiet for the longest time before taking off his shoes and tossing them up near her. Then his socks. Then the unbuttoning of his shirt. It was sink or swim right? ___________________________ Zoe found the water relaxing and part of the reason she loved the cottage in Lithuania was there was a lake within walking distance. She sat on the ground to watch it with her knees to her chest, still sniffling as she thought on her falling apart relationship. She was surprised that she managed to get even five minutes to herself before assface showed up. At his question, she didn't even look at him but that was partly because she didn't want him to see her tear stained face. And she was still hating him and hurting desperately. She jumped when one first one shoe and then the other clunked near her and then she looked at him completely confused with her mouth slightly open as he started taking off his shirt. What the hell was he doing.... _______________________ Whether they thought the relationship was unraveling or not, Greed wasn't going to let it. He tossed the shirt and then went for the buckle of his belt and jeans. When he was done to nothing but his boxers he took a deep breath and then a took a running leap. He could splash around for a second or two because she wasn't going to let him drown. As much as Hr hated water it would force her to interact with him. It was a start at least. Extreme, but human boy and Sin didn't always think things through. _______________________ She just watched with wide eyes and a slack jaw, "What're you doing!?" she yelled as he ran for the water. Not only did Greed hate the water but he was a poor swimmer as in he could barely swim. Her mouth was still agape as he crashed into the water and she shouted, "Would you get outta there?? I am not gonna save your butt if you drown." but there was worry already creeping into her eyes. _______________________ He couldn't answer as he swallowed a mouthful of water. It hit his stomach like a brick, pouring in. In just a few short moments time he saw nothing but bright sun and gray-green water pouring in over his head. That was when flailing did nothing more than suffocate him further down. There in that second he witnessed what Stella had when she couldn't breathe as he held her under. Just floating under murky water not as peaceful as he had thought. Eventually he stopped struggling and the splashing stopped. ________________________ Was he seriously going to... he was! "Ohmygod.." she took off her shoes and in one tug the dress was on the shore and she was running. Before he started seeing any hallucinated creatures, her arms looped around his underwater and she broke surface, taking in a big gulp of air before dragging him back to land. If he wasn't dead then she was going to kill him. ________________________ He coughed up a mouthful of water, struggling to catch his breath in between gurgling sounds in his throat. He flopped onto the shore having no idea how Zoe could even pick him up in the water. His body was solid weight now, muscles relaxed as he lay there with his eyes closed.
