WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: Backdated Monday
WHERE: Zoe's apartment
WHAT: Duct tape fixes everything
WARNING: I don't think that man ever went to medical school


Raiden had left and Gabe still wasn't home so Zoe was miserable and alone and in pain. There were a few more 'and's' there but those were the most prominent ones. She didn't know why she always felt like shit when she talked about Greed with someone, you'd think she'd take it as a sign but no, she was an idiot.

She'd told him to not come over. She didn't want to even entertain the idea of being able to rely on him for anything. So right now she was in her bed, her side throbbing with a dull ache, the bandage from the night before having a small splotch of blood on it and needing to be changed. It wasn't too bad a wound but it still hurt and she avoided looking at it. Mainly why she hadn't changed it yet because she didn't want to see it. She was in PJ bottoms and her bra still, all she wanted to do was sleep for the next three days and down a bottle of tylenol.

Zoe had said to give her a few days. Greed thought he'd give her a few hours. He showed up at her apartment with a bags full of pills, heating pads, gauze and all kinds of medical supplies that he'd practically dumped in the cart. He'd also bought a few rolls of duct tape.

Dropping the bags in the middle of the hallway he fiddled with the door handle. She wasnt going to open up, so picking it open was the only way he was going to get in. He wasn't going to play phone tag just to get her to the door. He wasn't even sure what had been damaged.

After about five to ten minutes he got the door open dragging in his bags of stuff. He pulled out the duct tape and opened it up. "Alright where is it?" He said with a grin as he found her on the couch. "It's hello kitty, just like I promised."

Zoe was hoping it was something else fiddling with the lock at the door but there was really only one thing that was that persistent. Maybe he would give up. Maybe he would go away. Maybe-- and the door burst open. She didn't even want to know what he was dragging in but she was annoyed, and hurt and just in a sad and painful mood. That Greed was not helping with.

She pulled the blanket up closer around her, in pain she may be but she was still very aware that this was the most skin she'd ever shown around him. Only her bare arms and her naked shoulders with bra straps showed. She gave him a look and said in a tired voice, "The door? It's right behind you."

She made a face when he showed her the hello kitty duct tape. Oh fuck, he was serious. "You know, suddenly I feel so much better.. Please stay away from me." she had a feeling that he was going to somehow make it worse..

He'd torn off a strip with his teeth, the pink tape with kitty faces hanging out of his mouth. "What?" He muffled out taking the tape and putting it between his fingers. "Duct tape is awesome! You can make clothes outta this shit."

She covered up before he could get a look. His shoulders slumped handing her the piece of tape while he sat on the floor and dug through the bags. He had picked up everything from nasal spray to nyquil. Something in that bag should fix her. As he dug through he sat out the boxes and containers, creating a barrier around him. Once he'd pulled everything out he started grabbing, looking over the container and shoved it in her face. "What about this?

Zoe took the piece of tape from him without knowing what to do with it and just stuck it on his arm. "Chance.." he wasn't even paying attention to her, "Chance please.." her mouth dropped open at the mountain of... crap he'd bought. Did he just buy everything in the pharmacy section? "What.. what is all this?" and then he shoved something in her face and she jerked back and hissed in pain at the sudden movement. She looked at what he was shoving at her tiredly and frowned, "This is vagisil." and then felt she had to clarify, "Not helpful in this situation."

He pulled the container back, reading the word and looking it over. "What's it do?" Okay, another one. He threw the box down and went for the next one which was nasal spray. "How about this one?" He probably spent a few hundred dollars easy with the pile he had around him. He still hadn't even inspected her get to know what was 'broken'.

Zoe made a face, "It's for when women have... well down there it gets.." she shook her head, why was she explaining this to him? He'd already moved on to the next thing. She closed her eyes and sighed, "Nasal spray is for the nose." you know what, screw it.. maybe he did have something that could help. She put a hand on his shoulder and gripped it to try to move into a more sitting up position while trying to keep the blanket from sliding down. She winced with clenched teeth. "Do you have any bandages?" she knew for a fact she didn't have any more.

Greed gave the dropped box a disgusted face. "Alright," he waved his hands around and started digging through his pile. "Bandages, bandages...." He said under his breath as he sifted. When he found a package he held it up like gold. "Ahha!" He shoved the pile back and scooted closer to the couch opening up the plastic. "Where am I putting it?"

Zoe gave him a wary look and frankly she didn't know if he knew how to be gentle right now but then again she could barely look at it without turning green and she did need another set of hands. She rolled her eyes to the side and gave a defeated sigh.

She moved the blanket back partly so her bra was still covered but most of her stomach and side was exposed. Along with it was a now scrunched up white bandage on her side that had splotchy blood stains on it.

The gauze fell out of the package into his lap, his curious eyes focusing on the bare skin she presented. His upper lip curled getting on his knees and pulling himself up on the couch. "Eww." He poked at it, examining it like a little kid. "Looks like a bitch." The tape that held the bandage down was already crumpled, which he peeled off to get a better look. There was a bruise all around the infected area.

"What the fuck Zoe?"

Zoe flinched when he poked at it and gave him an annoyed look, this was a horrible idea. She scrunched up her face and turned it away, her body tense as he pried the tape off the skin, an entirely unpleasant sensation on it's own only made worse coupled with her injury. She peeked at him, confused. What did he expect to find under a bandage with blood on it, gold? Jellybeans?

She looked down at the wound and then looked away with a winced face. It looked worse than it did the night before. The tear in the skin was still fresh and juicy red, the bruise all around it a gross color. "Yeah, getting shot is never pretty."

"Shot?" he squeaked, peeling back the bandage completely and sticking his nose practically on the wound. "Is there a bullet in there?" He started to look down in the pile on the floor. "I have scissors somewhere..."

"What happened?" Curious and clumsy fingers touched the clean skin just around the wound. He didn't really know what to do with it. He picked up the gauze that had fallen to the floor, tearing at it to try and break the roll into a smaller piece or she'd end up with the whole roll wadded up and taped down...with duct tape.

Zoe frowned and pushed his head away from her stomach, not knowing what was wrong with him. "No, it was just a graze, it tore the skin.. maybe you should go home." she was more worried now than when she'd gotten shot..

She sighed a little, because he had told her not to go out and she'd gone anyway.. but she didn't want to lie, "Ray and I were looking for a cab and we had to walk a few blocks till we found one. There were a bunch of people looting these stores, this guy grabbed me, someone was shooting.. next thing I know I'm hit and on the ground."

She looked at him and suggested, "Maybe the scissors," and quickly added, "For that." pointing at the bandage he was trying to tear.

Greed puckered his lips in a twitchy expression. Did she really think by saying so that he was just going to go home? Silly, silly mortal girl. "I should have slapped a warranty on you for real." He jerked his hand away grabbing the scissors on the floor after a few shuffles through the boxes, cutting a uneven square of gauze. He was angry. He didn't even like when his shoes were scuffed, what made her think he'd appreciate this?

"You didn't listen to me," his tone was serious, repeating much of what he'd told her online just hours before. "I said to stay inside. I said to stay away from the streets." He paused putting the gauze patch down over the bruise as gently as his large hands would let him. "At least you didn't go near Times Square." At least he'd thought.

Greed did not like her answer. Her mouth was flapping and he didn't like it. He watched the words escape eyeing her lips as if they'd nailed him with a death sentence. So he put that piece of duct tape right over it. "Are you done?" He said nodding his head in a yes fashion.

"I was trying to keep this from happening." He looked to her wound, back to her eyes, where his hand still held the tape on her mouth. "I just bought all of the CVS pharmacy because something could fix you." Though it looked like duct tape was the winner after all.

He dropped his hand. "Don't you think I'm trying?" He didn't know how to have friends and right now, his family came first. "I'm putting myself on a limb here because I want to keep you." Possession first, everything else after. "My siblings don't know about you and I'd like to keep it that way." Greed was doing this all on his own. To his own credit she still had her own thoughts. "If you don't listen to me when I want to keep you unharmed then I will be forced to make you."

Zoe let out a muffled sound of protest when he put the duct tape over her mouth, her eyes going wide and were literally shiny because of the tears swimming in them as she stared at him.

She went still as she listened. Yes, true, in his own bizarre way he was trying. But Zoe couldn't help it. She could be greedy too and sometimes she wanted more from him. It just hurt when she knew she wouldn't get it. She could take a step back like now to look at the situation for how it was, who he was, what this was... but it didn't make the want go away.

She sat there with the duct tape still on her mouth, looking at him. She knew how hard it was trying to keep something from the only people that were your family. She hadn't told Gabe about Greed because she wanted to keep him too. And she remembered how Greed had talked about the only people he had in his life were his siblings.

But when he talked about being forced to make her she pried off the duct tape from her mouth and let the blanket fall in her lap. She suddenly cupped his face in the palms of her hands and brought him in to her for a kiss. It wasn't particularly deep or long but it'd make his stomach drop like he was in a fun elevator ride because of the typhoon of emotions breaking inside her. They both could use a reminder of what they had. And whenever she kissed him, she did feel something that wasn't in her imagination.. if this was entirely not real then where did it come from?

She pulled back and looked in his eyes, "I'm sorry I went out after I promised you I wouldn't. I would never break a promise unless it was important. And this was. But you can't make me listen to you. Just like I can't make you not shoot people. You have to trust me or just be there to protect me all the time." she didn't mean that last bit, she was just being wry.

She kissed him and his stomach hit the floor. Suddenly he was on the tower of terror in universal studios with his feet never hitting the ground. He gripped his stomach and the arm of the couch. "Now I feel like a hampster on a wheel." A very drunk one.

He collected himself shaking his head vigorously and attempting to stand up. Nope. Not yet. The ground was still blurry. "It's not like I killed anyone," he pouted giving her a glance over his shoulder. Once his head stopped spinning he scooted back. "Can we do that again?" He was a glutten for the spinning around in circles until he threw up and then went right back to spinning.

No matter how many times Zoe had seen Greed look like he just got punched after they kissed, she still worried about him every time. She also worried for his sanity because.. yup, like clockwork, he wanted to do it again.

"No.. but you could have. You could have killed me even because you were randomly shooting people." she couldn't believe she was having to explain this. It was surreal. She gave him a look and shook her head, "No, we can't do that again until we figure this out a little." she shook her head again, "I.. really shouldn't have done it in the first place." she sighed and let her head flop back. She hadn't even remembered to cover herself again so was literally half naked in front of him except her bra was still on.

"No, I wasn't aiming for fatal wounds. Enough to knock down and grab their loot." He was entirely serious. "My siblings...eh..." He shrugged, "not so much." But Greed did his own thing. He was a game changer not a rule follower.

He rested his forehead against hers. "I don't like damaged merchandise. I wanted you as far from it as I could get you."

She wanted to ask him if he needed that much stuff, if he had to shoot people to get it but according to her research the answer was... yes. And it was weird and painful that she couldn't change it, she had to accept it or give him up. "You don't kill people.. but your siblings.. they do?" she should probably read up on his siblings too.

She opened her eyes and stared right into his baby blues, something inside her just melting. She could either view it as the insanity that it really was or she could view it as he was trying to protect her. In his weird demented way. "I hear Paris is nice." she gave him a wary look, "Don't come closer," even though he was literally right in her face, "I can't be kissing the guy who shot me. It would make me a crazy person."

Greed craned his neck out hoping to grab her lips for a kiss but she was doing the question thing. The stuff mortals did when the wanted to know what they already knew. "I said that didn't I? They can, they have. I have....but only in extreme cases."

He chewed on his bottom lip, sucking it under his teeth, he was still going in for a kiss when she pulled back.

Zoe turned her lips in so even when his lips connected, they touched skin. She wasn't going to kiss him. And it was disturbing to hear he'd killed. She knew that it was her own fault for getting him worked up with that kiss, she didn't think he could think about anything else and she didn't have the strength to fight him off.

"Chance.. my side is killing me, I hate your face right now but I still don't want you to go and all you can do is think of kissing me." she looked in pain and frustrated. She needed a distraction. She had an idea and raised her brows a little and looked at him, "You wanna play a game? 20 questions. Every answer you give me, I'll give you a kiss. Deal?"

Greed growled a little between two tight lips. He opened his mouth to spin a story and then she sidetracked him. Like a kid with ADD he looked at her with curiosity. "I like games!"

Alright! He could do this...except now she had him by the balls with whatever questions she threw out. He never said he was obligated to answer truthfully.

Zoe winced as she settled herself against the arm of the sofa, trying to get comfortable but failing. She sighed, giving up and tugged the blanket up a little to cover herself. He liked games. Shocking.

She didn't know if he'd lie. She could normally tell when he turned into a Sin and when he was being honest. The switch was like night and day. But what she didn't know was that he could be the guy she liked so much and still lie by just omitting truths and twisting things a tiny bit. Which was really quite a human thing to do. "What's your earliest memory?"

He had seen her bare skin, and he should have been a slobbering dog all over her, but she was useless like this. Besides he was curious about these questions of hers.

"Good one!" He said clapping. He had to think on that one, he wasn't even sure of the where or when. Just what was. They'd all kinda popped up one right after the other....but he had always remembered...."Lust."

Zoe smiled a little, he was like a wind up toy sometimes. She frowned a little and then realized he meant, "Your sister? You don't remember where you guys were or anything?"

She paused and said as if she was quoting something, "Greed, Lust, and Gluttony are the excess sins.. are you three any different than your other siblings?" before he could even answer, she asked another question, she was looking really curious now, "Which ones are boys and which are girls?"
