WHO: Zoe & Greed w/ Lust
WHEN: Past & Present AU
WHERE: Greed's apartment, street, cafe
WHAT: 6 years later Greed realizes..
WARNING: None
Note: The log reads backwards
He took her hand, not able to control her from being pulled to him as he stood. She was so little, and he wasn't. He hugged her again, as quickly and intensely as he had kissed her. If he could squeeze her maybe it would fill that hole inside.

She didn't say anything, just slowly stood up and dusted herself off then she turned to him and offered him her hands to help him up (not that she'd be much help but it was symbolic).

The way she lit up, it was beautiful. To see her smile and it be a real one that she wasn't trying to force. "It looks better on you than me." He wiped at his face again, those damned ridiculous feelings charring him inside out.

Zoe felt such joy at getting her locket back, she took it and put the chain around her neck, feeling the weight and coolness of the metal. She actually smiled and held the locket in her hand, maybe this was what had been missing. She looked at Greed and said sincerely and softly, "Thank you..."

Only then could he strip his hand away from her locket, and he felt a part of him die anyway. He grabbed his chest because his heart was beating so fast. She had her locket back, but the damage had still been done.

He wasn't making a ton of sense but she said gently, "You dont know me and I don't know you." stressing the word 'know' as in truly know a person. "But maybe... MAYBE we can be friends." because it was Zoe, and event tho this guy put her through hell, she could never say no to someone in pain.

"I didn't want a friend then. I thought if I just took what I wanted I'd prove myself wrong. Instead I just proved myself right....I need you. And you need me..." It was nuts, really fucking nuts, but it was the truth.

She didn't like the idea but kept her hand on his as she said, "Friends don't rob each other... or hold things hostage, they don't KISS each other, or insult their friends fiancees..." saying it in the tone that he knew he'd done all these things. If he really wanted her as friend, a lot would have to change.

"Say you're not running away from me. Say you'll be my friend..." He didn't know why it was so important or how in a matter of minutes she'd trudged up something he'd hidden away so deeply he thought he wasn't going to remember it. But there it was and he felt like he was still him, still Greed but a combination of who he had been and what he'd become and he was between the two stuck in limbo.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"Chance...." she sighed, "Look, I always thought you were a terrible person but... maybe you're not.. entirely. But.. I don't know what you want me to do." she wasn't running away but he was a crazy person who had humiliated her and stolen her things.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 3:33 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"That's just it....I don't even try to hurt others, I'm just fucked to no matter what." He wiped at his nose thinking it was bleeding again, but instead it was just wet like water. "When want something bad, to give it up makes me feel like I'm dying inside...." She might as well jump off a cliff now, "I know the moment I give you this there's nothing that will keep you from running away from me...." And that was a hard thing for Greed to swallow. His hand started to shake under hers.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She saw how he wasn't really giving up the locket and she put her other hand gently on top of his, "Sometimes.. I talk to my grandma like she's still alive. I don't know if she's really there and some people think that's crazy but it makes me feel better. So... I don't think there's anything wrong in believing what you believe as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But what you did... what you're doing, you hurt me a lot. I'm not.. I'm not strong enough for your games. I can barely keep myself together." he was killing her.

She thought he was crazy. It crushed him. Not that he ever told many people at all for that very reason. Now she was going to admit him to a psych ward.
He reached into his pocket and he didn't even realize that in his panic to hold on to it he started to cry. It was almost like he was giving her away. His hand shook as he put it in her hand, his own still trying to stay super glued to it. She didn't know how hard it was for him to let go of things when he really didn't want to.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She looked at him slowly, just stared at him with her wet eyes as he said the most insane things and all she said was, "I want my locket." in a very soft sad voice. He needed help clearly and for that, she couldn't be angry with him. But she did want her locket back first before she'd help him find a therapist or meds.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 2:43 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
It didn't even phase her and he thought she couldn't wrap her head around it. And while he was relieved, at the same time it stung. "I'm not trying to torture you..." It just was how shit played out. He was doomed to destroy things. "I think sometimes I'm only built to destroy things....because I am Greed. I'm not talking about name only. I am one of the seven deadly sins." That's it. He was going to be put in a straight jacket. Fuck.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She assumed he was talking about his last name again. She wiped her nose on the back of her hand and said, "You're not making any sense... you woke up one day and decided hey let me go torture that chick I robbed and screwed over six years ago? Are you that bored?" she started to lift her head off his chest.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 2:30 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"I am Greed." He said it in a whisper, just feeling compelled to say it. He thought maybe she didn't hear it. "Let's say I got a glimpse of what I could have and I couldn't wait for it, so I bulldozed through it like I do everything. And I hurt you and why could have been. I woke up one morning and thought something was missing."

"Fine, then just forget the past, what the hell do you want from me now? You wanted sex back then and I gave it to you and trust me, I don't think I've gotten better with time." so she was still kinda hurt by what he did.

"You're going to put me in a nut house...I really don't like the thoughts of being thrown in a padded room for the rest of eternity." He sighed trying to figure out how to say it. How did he explain it without giving away his identity?
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She frowned, he wasn't making sense but she still didn't get up. There was something that pulled her to him, that made her want to stay there with him. She was silent and said, "Try... to explain. Just tell me why now and what you want...." cause he didn't seem to want to leave her alone.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 11:22 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"It's hard to explain, and you wouldn't believe me right now if I told you. It just has....and I messed up. I found you too early. When I was a big shithead who was getting drunk off his ass and manipulating you." He was supposed to wait a little longer, but that was just it, Greed has a hard time waiting.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"That's such bullshit...." she said quietly, "You waited six years... six YEARS to pop back into my life? Why?" her voice having a slight whine to it. "How can I make you feel anything after a few hours and six years?" it didn't make any sense to her.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 11:15 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com>wrote:
Greed closed his eyes tightly, his heartbeat quickening so fast he thought he'd drop of a heart attack. She had every right to just snatch that locket from his hands and never look back. He was terrified of losing this girl now! Terrified. "Maybe he's just terrified of how you make him feel inside and that the moment he hands it over you're gone..." He said in a shaky whisper. "Maybe keeping it all this time kept you close until he found you again..."
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She didn't know why he said he should have stayed six years ago, but for the first time she almost believed him. She was too exhausted to try to move yet and so let him touch her and replied, "Well this jerk stole my grandma's locket and humiliated me and now he won't give it back," her voice cracking, "...not something to be happy about." as more tears came to her eyes. Did he realize how hard it was to even look at him?
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 11:07 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Something I should have done six years ago." His fingers brushed down her hair against her neck. "Call me crazy but you looked sad." And in the tone of his voice he was showing that it bothered him.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
This was actually the perfect place to have a breakdown because brides were under a lot of stress, no one would bat an eye. Zoe knew she should stop Greed but didn't, she just sniffled and asked, "What're you doing...." in a soft tone because he was being way caring and it was freaking her out.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 10:57 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
He didn't even care that she'd left a wet stain on his shirt. It wasn't him choking on blood at least. He just stayed there feeling really fucking amazing, maybe because he was needed. Lust didn't cry, she definitely didn't have breakdowns like this, so he didn't get to feel so strong. He continued combing her hair and softly massaging her scalp with one hand while the other secured her to him.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She was weak, it felt good to get comforted for once, it made that empty feeling inside her calm into a dull ache for a moment. Part of her told her this was so wrong but it felt... kinda right. She had sobbed all over his t-shirt and eventually her crying was reduced to sniffles and stray tears.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 10:12 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Instinctively, his hand cupped her head and his fingers massaged through her hair. He didn't say anything, he just held her and felt a lot of pride at that. It made him more manly just being some kind of shield for her. He should have done that the night he walked out of the hotel.
While her breathing was labored in sobs, his was very calm. His heartbeat was elevated a bit, but he was calm.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She thought she'd hit him again or fight but when his body just enveloped her like a cocoon, she found all she wanted to do was cry as much as she wanted without feeling like she had to hurry up in case someone saw. There was the oddest feeling of comfort in his arms and she rested her head on his chest, letting him support her during her breakdown.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 10:01 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
He wiggled the door handle and realized she hadn't thought to lock it. He let it creek open and stood up to go inside despite her protesting. He choked a little seeing her just this blob on the floor. Whatever possessed him inside just overtook him. He sat down behind her, his legs straddling beside her as his arms wrapped around her. For some reason that made him feel amazing and he didn't know why.

Zoe was breaking down, she normally could only do it when she was alone and while she wanted to wait till she got to the apartment it was too much so she just hugged her knees and cried, her watery voice saying, "Please go away..." at Greed's knock. She couldn't face anyone right now.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 9:50 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed shooed the associate away, shushing her from saying anything. He knew Zoe was breaking down because she'd done before, maybe only in the future---but that tug he felt was a lot stronger now than when he'd left her alone in that hotel bathroom. He sat down in the floor and knocked softly, and then fiddled with the key ring until he was able to get the locket off. He did not want to give it up. If he gave it up she'd disappear.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe wouldn't open the door, "Can you please give me a few minutes...." came her very weak sounding voice. She didn't want to look at another horrible wedding dress. It was too much stress with her locket being held hostage, her one night stand back and not leaving her alone and this wedding... where it was like she was a barbie doll. She just sat on the floor with her knees drawn up like a child.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 9:30 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"I'm not a normal person..." He whispered, still sitting in the chair when she shut him out. The dress associate came back with another dress and knocked on the door telling Zoe she had the perfect dress. All Greed could imagine was Zoe was going to walk out and cry and he'd lose it.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"That woman's money is paying for the dress, the food, the flowers, the everything. I can't just spend it on whatever I want and not consider her feelings on the matter." she gave him a dull look, "That's what normal people do, they're considerate of other people's feelings." and she shut the door with a final sounding click, all his compliments ignored and not answering whether she liked the dress or not.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 9:20 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Fuck that woman." He waved his hand in the air as if it could be easily dismissed. It couldn't but in fact he was trying to showcase what she had to look forward to. In laws that would dictate what she did and a husband that didn't care. "Do you like it?" He rested his elbows on his knees, still looking at the whole thing. "You glow in it you know." Maybe she wouldn't believe him but this girl needed to know she wasn't the shit he'd treated her as that night.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe shook her head, "Mike's parents are paying for the wedding... they're really traditional. His mom loves those big white dresses." she sighed, "She'd never go for.. gold and stars." her head hurt just thinking of how horrified the woman would be. But it was the first time that Zoe had actually shared something personal with Greed without trying to hit him.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 9:13 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed slumped in his chair. He hated seeing that smile disappear. He thought sure if he'd picked the right dress, she'd fall for him. But, it wasn't that easy. "Isn't it what you want?" Because only Greed could drag that feeling out of anyone.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
The sales clerk wasn't impressed and said, "Yes well, maybe for the reception.." and when Zoe caught Greed staring and asking her to turn, her smile died, "Mike and his mom would hate this." she said, even tho it was more her style. She was not into the big poofy ball gown, the max she'd do was tulle. The sales clerk said, "Maybe something white.. to make it more bridal." Zoe already starting to feel that misery again as very little about this wedding was what SHE wanted.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 9:03 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Damn." He seemed so pleased with himself. "That's it." He knew it. He knew without a doubt that was it. Her skin color just bounced off of the gold and the stars mimicked the trail of freckles she had all over. "Turn?" He wiggled his finger to mimic a twirl. "Shit." He couldn't stop cursing over it, her eyes even lit up.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Out of everyone, the only one who seemed to pick things that she liked was Greed. Which was weird because he was such a peacock. She tried on the gold one at the insistance of the sales clerk (she had a hard time telling people no) and was surprised to find the color of the dress wasn't gaudy, it made her skin more radiant. And by the time the sales clerk opened the door so Greed could take a look, Zoe had the smallest of smiles on her lips as she smoothed down the stars on the dress, torn between obviously loving the dress and knowing her fiancee would hate it.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 8:55 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed narrowed his eyes, he'd have to find something even more amazing. He left while the dress associate picked more ugly choices that were puffy and looked like frosting on a cupcake. He came back with one with more gold and it had stars. He thought of stars when he looked at her.
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
At his words, she frowned again. She didn't believe he was being serious, all she heard was him making fun of her. It was hard to take a compliment from him since he had thrown her away that night. Her cheeks burned whenever she thought of all his insults, how he'd scrambled off of her, grilling her at why she wasn't better and then asking if she was dying in the bathroom and not caring if she was. "Screw you." was all she said and went back into the dressing room before he could say a word.
On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 5:25 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
She glowed just a little bit. It made her glitter and Greed had a genuine smile. "Fuck you're gorgeous." He put a hand on his chest as if he were about to recite the national anthem, but it was just because his heart was beating unnaturally out of his chest. How could this little hobbit be so gorgeous?

Zoe was a little wounded but yeah, she didn't look good. She eyed Greed suspiciously and then saw the dress, it was kinda shiny but she loved the sleeves. She took it from him with a snatch and even shut the sales lady out of the room as she changed into it and a few minutes later slowly stepped out into the fitted dress that was very soft and romantic. She was very surprised and she didn't look angry... it might not be THE dress but it was her favorite one so far.

"I'm not telling her that. It's completely ridiculous." Who on earth has designed it? He turned around and handed over the dress he'd picked. "Try this one." He handed it to Zoe.

Zoe didn't want to see Greed's underwear and she made a face when the sales clerk showed her the next dress. Zoe had always loved tulle type dresses but this was just like globs of frosting. The lady managed to get her into it and kept talking about how great Zoe looked but Zoe just looked completely unhappy in it. The next one was also a disaster, a tight bodice on top with what looked like shredded champagne froth for the bottom half. The sales clerk clapped her hands and said to Greed, "Tell her she looks beautiful!"

"I'm wearing superheroes!" And he stood up, pulling out the band from his pants out so she could see the band of stars on his underwear. He thought it might just make her relax again, but before he could say anything else the dress lady had already stuffed the big poofy dress Mike's mother had picked out in her face. Greed waited and made another disgusted face. She looked like a Barbie cake and all her proofs were layers of cake.
On Sunday, May 8, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe's face was a tomato as Greed started laughing and she looked mad, especially at his commentary. When the sales clerk hmmm'd and said she'd see what Greed's 'mom' picked out, Zoe pummeled him with her fists around his head and arms before the sales lady tried to get her to turn on another dress.
On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 7:01 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed tried not to laugh but he couldn't help it. He held his hands over his mouth with a snort. "Oh god no. No. It's not her. It's way too long and I think I'd much rather save all her saucy bits for me for the wedding night. I don't want all the groomsmen thinking about fucking her during the ceremony." He waved it away. "Nice underwear tho."
On Sunday, May 8, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
When Zoe saw Greed's head pop in to take a look she said, "Don't look!" because she felt so naked in the ugly dress not that it mattered, he'd seen her naked before. The sales clerk shook her head at Greed, "She's just being shy... at least see your pick on her, she looks great in it!" Zoe glared, "That's a lie." and then went OOF! as the sales clerk literally yanked on her arm and Zoe stumbled out right in front of Greed wearing the horrible sheer and cutouts dress. The sales clerk gushed and ooo'd over it, looking at Greed to see how he liked the dress he wanted on his bride.
On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 6:38 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"She's not coming out is she?" He laughed trying to take a peek, but all he heard was screaming and he could tell she was livid, this time not at him. "She sounds more mad than when I walked it. Maybe try something else?" He took a seat in the chair just outside the changing room. His pick in his lap.
On Sunday, May 8, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
He'd be able to hear Zoe gasp and say, "I'm not going out there in this!" she sounded horrified as the sales clerk said, "Let him see you, you look beautiful!" as she opened the door but Zoe wouldn't come out. The sales clerk huffed, used to touchy brides and she tried to physically drag Zoe out who was wearing something that looked more like wedding lingerie rather than a wedding dress. She had refused to take off her underthings so her looney tunes underoos could be seen through the sheer as well as her bra. It was clear she absolutely hated the dress and wouldn't want anyone to see her in it.
On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 6:27 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"I---" Greed started to protest, but Zoe was already whisked away. He took the time to find another dress that had caught his eye, he pulled off the rack, and had it in his hands while Zoe got prepped in one of the other dresses.

Zoe eyed the dresses with a grimace... everything was.... just not as she imagined. The sales lady said, "They are divine!" she looked at the note on one of them that was all feathery and thick cut out lace looking with.. was that sheer? "Quite sure. This one was the one you had your eye on for your bride it says. Oh come on, lets show him." Zoe shook her hands in front of her, "Uh no, I don't think I'm gonna try any of them on--" but the lady grabbed her hands and said, "He's dying to see you in it! You'll look sensational!" and was dragging Zoe into the dressing room.

"Oh that's right. Mom came down this morning." He acted as if he'd completely forgot. He rubbed his hands together. He was already looking around at some of the dresses when the lady brought out an armful. "I don't remember those. Are you sure that's what was picked out?" Already he could tell this was not going to go well.
On Sunday, May 8, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe shoved him hard and glared at him when he kissed her cheek, mouthing 'DON'T' to him. The lady said, "Your mother in law dropped by this morning apparently and picked out some lovely selections for you to try on and I think we have a coupl e of choices of yours too." she smiled pointing at Greed. Zoe looked disappointed, "Oh... they came by this morning? I thought they were busy..." she had to go dress shopping alone (Greed didn't count) but her mother in law came with Mike to pick out dresses for Zoe? Ugh. She was scared to see what they looked like....

The woman chuckled, "Maybe 10% if we can get your bride to stop being mad at you, hmmm?" and she smiled at Zoe. Zoe gave another tight smile, "I'm not mad." she said through clenched teeth, twisting away from Greed when he put his arm around her again.
On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 4:59 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"How about 15%?" Greed said squeezing Zoe tighter to him. He gave the woman a wink and another charming smile. And maybe there was a little push of something else, something Zoe didn't know about him yet, about who he really was.
He rubbed his side, and kept up with her, insisting on putting his arm around her at any chance he could.
On Sunday, May 8, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe wanted to scream at him but the woman smiled at Zoe, "Well, how about 5% off whatever dress you choose so you can stop being mad at your fiancee?" Zoe just stared, that was a lot of money, 5%, any percent off. If she said Greed wasn't her fiancee, would she lose the discount? So she just smiled tightly, "Thank you." and when she wasn't looking, Zoe elblowed Greed in the side as hard as she could to get his arm off her.

Greed opened his mouth in shock and then smiled putting his arm around her. "She's a little mad at me, I made her a little late." He wagged his eyebrows at the woman with that grin that seemed so innocent.

She ignored Greed, because Mike maybe did encourage her to cut down sweets and eat healthy foods but... he was concerned for her health. She smiled at the woman who greeted her and then the woman said, "Ohhhh and look at your handsome husband to be! You know they say it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in the wedding dress before the day but I say it only whets the appetite!"

Greed quickly scooted out and followed her. "I didn't call you fat. But he thinks so if you gain an inch from a hamburger. I'm sure he thinks you need to eat salads and tuna fish instead of a pizza." He knew more about her than she couldn't even understand, more than he thought he knew himself. He knew she was to be his. He followed her into the shop, quickly greeted.

She jumped a little when he got violent and wondered how he knew so much and puffed her cheeks out, "I am NOT fat." as if Greed was calling her that and then said, "What's good about him is that he isn't YOU." and by then they'd reached and she got out of the cab, slamming the door behind her after she handed the cabbie another crumpled bill.

"Holy shit." He took another swallow making a very pleased noise that was probably more obscene than it should have been. He looked at her with the wide eyes of a child.

He made sure to pick a great tea joint that had more cozy seating, where she'd have no choice but to sit next to him. So when they got there, they had to wait a little bit to be seated. Greed took that opportunity to clean up and change into a Tshirt he'd grabbed off one of the vendor in the streets. It actually was a tad tighter since he didn't stop to check the size. When he returned the waitress had already seated Zoe and he had wiggle his big butt around in a cramped little shop just to get to their seat.

Was this sexual harassment? What was happening? Ohmygod he was kissing her! She felt that rollercoaster again inside at his kiss, it was... different. it almost made her swoon. Almost. She was completely bewildered as he stared at her, feeling heat in her cheeks from his kiss and his words and now that she could see him it took her maybe one second for her to place him (the haircut was different). Her eyes narrowed and her voice was cold, "Chance Greedy." her one night stand from hell. And then she did something very unlike herself, she took a punch at him. Not a slap, but a closed fist punch.

He didn't care, he just grabbed her face for a kiss. It was much sweeter than the kisses he gave her all those years ago. He felt everything inside just light up like a fire. Even if this Zoe didn't love him, he knew. He held her face and that kiss as long as he could stand it. "Oh my god..." he said, his thumbs brushing against her cheeks. "God you're so sexy..." It was his Zoe, right in front of him. She might hate him, but he knew she was his and he was going to make her love him. "I'm such a fucking tool." And he felt like he was crying as he laughed at his foolish mistake.

Zoe's eyes went wide as this guy just grabbed her and she couldn't really do anything about it. She felt something inside her summersault at just the embrace, which was weird. She blinked as he said her name. "Do I know you.....?" she asked and tried to get him to let her go so she could see his face, she was not comfortable with this kind of contact from a stranger. Or anyone.

He was coming towards her and he nearly tackled her but he to catch his breath. "Zoe, holy shit." He fanned himself, because he instantly felt himself heat up just thinking about her kisses and the supernovas he'd completely destroyed. "Fuck me, I'm such a dumbass asshole." He could punch himself in the face with a hairdryer now.

Zoe was busy with her papers and when a car honked cause Greed got in the way, it made her jump and nearly drop her papers. She clutched them to her chest and looked over at what the commotion was to see a tall handsome dude striding over to her side of the street. Huh, it almost looked like he was coming right for her..

The light from the locket bounced off a car and glittered right on his target. "Fuck I'm a fucking asshole." He knew wht had been screwed now and she was standing right in front of him. He knew what he he and now what was missing. His Zoe. His right hand that he'd helped find her father and her backbone. His Zoe who he opened up the door to so many things for him. His Zoe that had given him friendship and his real manhood. His Zoe that he had robbed himself of. What a fucking tool.
He then just started across the street, completely ignoring the law of traffic or that he'd almost got run over by a car. He had to fix things. He had to get his Zoe back.

Zoe was her name and she was actually right across the street from him at this very moment because fate, she liked to be funny like that. She'd had plans for these two and PastGreed had fucked them all up. But Zoe.. she didn't have any sweet memories of Greed, she had terrible horrible memories and a lot of tears that she had tried very hard to forget about.
