“You mean now or before?” They both had been thinking the same thing of the other when they first arrived. Like they didn’t want to be around each other and promptly ignored the chill in the air. This was the most confused he’d been in a long time. In the future she wasn’t allowed to bottle shit up. It was a coke can that had been dropped on the floor and busted. _______________________________ “Both.” she said and stayed against him as the words came pouring out, “You got cold after I said it, like I was smothering you. You were so... I felt like you were testing me and I was terrified I was going to fail. So I gave you space... and you took it.” she’d been surprised by that. It had scared her that he not only took the space away from her but he relished it, “It hurt to see you fine without me.” ugh, she hated saying these things, she felt pathetic. “I felt like if I said anything about it.. I’d just scare you off more. And if you were unhappy then you’d go.. to her.” which wouldn’t have been a thought in her head if him leaving her for Lust and her having a talk with her grandfather hadn’t happened so soon before. She’d been happy to tell him she loved him, when it slipped out she realized that it was true, that even though he’d been with Lust just days before and her grandfather had rattled her.. she did love Greed despite it all. His reaction to it had been less than desirable and just twisted her already fragile mind. _______________________________ “I needed the space. But when I came back you were this warped version of my girlfriend. Like you were only there to please me. Which is fine, but it gets boring.” It was why no girl ever lasted as long as her. It was why he jumped ship to the next one. “You didn’t fight me. You didn’t stand up to me you just were all ‘oh ho hum okay’. If it pissed you off say it. I like you better when you shove back.” She needed to know because if she had continued down that path of ‘let me help you, let me do things for you, let me be the dutiful girlfriend and not Zoe he would go to lust willingly next time. “You were not Zoe either.” It had been a reflection on him. He gave her what she wanted, he was the boy that she was afraid to have and too worried to push. _______________________________ She smacked his chest and said frustratedly, “And say what? How dare you need space? I don’t want you to leave me like that? I’m scared and a basket case when you left me a week ago and I haven’t recovered? I’m sorry that I said the words and if I could I’d take them back? That I hated you only came some nights into my bed because I didn’t know where you were or what you were doing on the others? That I really hated we didn’t talk and I felt worse than a hooker since you’d be gone by morning? That I really, really missed you,” she smacked his chest twice for emphasis, “And it didn’t seem like you missed me at all? You seemed annoyed with me.” she settled down again and said in a miserable voice, “You didn’t seem to want Zoe.” so she tried to be someone else. _______________________________
“Yes!” he gave a flat laugh with a little sarcasm. “I would have prefered that. Because then you wouldn’t be exploding like a fucking soda can. You never hid shit before, don’t you think I can sense it?” He wasn’t a bloodhound, but he’d been at this for longer than she cared to tally up. “I”ve been doing this a long time. I know when you’re being someone else?” Just like she could sniff out the Sin. “If I wanted someone to cater to me I’d be out with the first Mary to cross my path. They’re good and then its done. I don’t want you to turn into someone that doesn’t see me.” She had forgotten him in there. “You were treating me like some shit mortal boy. I’m not some shit mortal boy.”
