WHO: Greed & Lust w/Zoe
WHEN: New Years Eve [Backdated]
WHERE: Ritzy party, Zoe and Jonah's apartment
WHAT: Greed goes to party with Lust but finds his heart is elsewhere
WARNING: Greed pukes on Lust!
Greed drug his feet to meet Lust, but he dressed the part in an expensive, flashy suit with a yellow tie. The crowd was lively, drunk and pulling him, a moth to a flame. It lit him up inside like a Christmas tree from the music to the ravenous crowd he feasted on.
His phone was the recorder as he took a million photos already highlighting the night. Some of which he'd already sent to Zoe including a still of the starry sky above. It was his way of leading himself out with a trail of breadcrumbs to lead him back to where he really wanted to be when all was said and done. Lust would have her fun, he'd enjoy it but then he'd be back out on his own without her hovering a shadow over him.
He wet his lips with the top of his tongue, the bright party lights flashing around him with a shiny disco ball overhead. With all the people he could hardly see Lust at all, but the moment she was within a few feet he felt his stomach drop to the floor.
_____________________________________
Lust took center stage as always, she had glittery blue eye shadow on to match her uber sparkly dress that was so short cut you'd swear if she bent over, her ass might show. She wore blue booties on her feet that cost more than Greed's girlfriend's monthly rent. She was dancing with a guy... maybe two guys? She didn't even know, she was dancing and having a good time, she had picked this location because the party screamed excess it was everything Greed had been away from. The whole place was decadence, greed, desire, businessmen, wealthy jerks. She was getting a high from how sinful these people were.
_____________________________________
The energy flowed through him, pumping his blood with all that wonderful, sinly excess. He had missed it, but it hasn't gone anywhere. Being with Zoe didn't suppress what he was, not now that all sides of him got to taste the unique flavor of her. She enriched him in a way that had never been available to him before.
Lust was a lure, a very shiny lure. The Sin had become very comfortable steering himself apart from her, not under her thumb. Greed was not meant to be controlled. He locked eyes with her from a distance. Asher would have to come to him. He wasn't going to crawl to her.
_____________________________________
Greed might be playing hard to get but Lust was always the winner when it came to them. She didn't go to him, her green cat eyes staying on his cool blue. The man who was dancing with her circled his arms around her waist possessively and she kept dancing but it was there in the air, her influence was snaking towards Greed like the sweetest smelling perfume, invading his senses and poking at all the dark places of his being to come out and play.
_____________________________________
She was trying to wet his appetite. Her invisible claws digging in deep in his gut to draw him our and lead him by his nose to get side. He could play coy all he wanted, in this atmosphere keeping away was near impossible. But Lust feed off of touch so he maneuvered through the crowd slow, deliberately putting distance between them.
_____________________________________
It wouldn't matter where he maneuvered to, after twenty minutes of pushing through the crowd, he'd end up literally walking right up to her (with some moving around on her part). Which is what she wanted him to see, the more he tried to get away, the more he'd end up right back to her. It was where he belonged. If he was an alcoholic trying to get sober, she was a bottle of expensive champagne. Lust had only used two senses, sight and smell, so far. "If I didn't know any better... I'd say you were unhappy here." three, sound. Her most powerful weapons were still holstered. Touch and taste.
_____________________________________
"I'd say this party is a drag..." He snubbed his nose in the air, almost looking too fancy for the rest if them. He couldn't ignore Lust's look, she was a sucubus. His eyes were drawn, but he was determined not to slip.
_____________________________________
Lust moved closer to him, one hand on her hip and the other raised, she put the tip of her finger under his chin to look into his eyes, "Then liven it up." she didn't say it in a light tone, she wanted him to unleash and do what he used to be so good at. They were a tag team of destruction when they wanted to be.
_____________________________________
There it was. She could lift her pinky and lure the strongest of men to her side. Giving in to that power was where Greed fell weak, and he'd been on his own for months. His own King, his own decisions without playing into his sister's wishes.
"I'm not sure I could save this place..." He rolled his eyes, arrogant as a child defying a parent.
_____________________________________
Lust wore an invisible crown, her confidence bordered on her sister's Sin of arrogance but in her defense, was it really arrogance when it was true? "My great brother unable to save a party? You must be slipping." she raised a brow and looked him up and down, "Never knew you to be lazy but maybe this flabby way of living is your new thing. Maybe you just forgot what it means to be a Sin." she laughed, "Maybe. You just can't."
_____________________________________
"I'm not lazy, just maybe immune to your pathetic attempts to get my attention." She knew how to make him mad and that was rising out of him with a vengeance. He had things to protect, his own crown and he would not hang his head in shame.
_____________________________________
She just laughed again, "Oh no... you've gotten rusty along with fat. Maybe I should have invited Glut to this party instead, he would have had half the room eating out of his hand by now. And you.... there was a time when you would have been King of this ball.." she gestured with her hands around at the finery they were in and then she looked at him like he was pathetic, "And now... you're just... " she snorted, "...ordinary." he didn't want to play? So gross.
_____________________________________
Lust was throwing punches as low as she could go, cutting him off at the knees. Greed laughed almost cheerfully. "Ordinary?" He'd grown up a little since Lust last saw. "You called me out, you must feel useless with no one to pander to your wishes. It must make you shrivel up from from the waist down." He looked a bushy brow up as he fed her as much spite that she threw in his face. It drew out the worst in him, but one thing Greed was not since last she saw him was sexually frustrated. She did not have that to hang over his head.
_____________________________________
She observed him coolly, those green eyes narrowing into assessing slits. "You're right. I did call you, my mistake. Leave then if you want. You can be replaced. Or did you forget that? Did you forget that only one brother can be by my side? And you have two," she held up two fingers, "That are clamoring for the position." and she wasn't joking. But with Lust, who held a grudge, Greed wouldn't get cut off for now. He'd get cut off for centuries, well after Zoe was dead and he'd be alone.
_____________________________________
"If you wanna pick food out of your vagina then have at." The beat of the music changed and he felt it ripple through, the crowd starting to mosh to the beat. Greed smiled like he had secret he want going to tell her. There was a group of girls eyeing him, but between him and Lust they could incinerate. "We both know you miss this dick." Greed want going to crawl. He wasn't going to beg. But I'd she could play cat and mouse so could he.
He stepped back in the crowd, bouncing with the rest of them as they started to get more violent with him there. Individual space was a hot commodity in a crowd like this, everyone wanted somebody else's.
_____________________________________
Lust kept her cool but she was seething. "I own that dick." she growled out as he went into the crowd. She stayed on the spot and took out her phone, "But as you wish, brother dear..." Greed was a novice at this game and he was going to find out now why she was the champion.
_____________________________________
"No. I own this dick!" He shouted above the music. He expected her to leave and he was ok with that because he wanted to use that dick on his own, not influenced by Lust's drug. Greed spent a long time away from her, it was going to be harder to succumb. He was found of who he was without interference.
_____________________________________
Lust watched him carefully, he was taking a lot of pictures of nothing... he was such a stupid little pissant. He really thought she wasn't aware of what was going on. A passing waiter with a tray of glitter confetti walked by and Lust grabbed a handful, she opened her hand and blew it all over the group of girls that had been eyeing Greed before and now were giggling over his dick comment. The glitter went and stuck to their skin and Lust's breath alone on the little specks were like mini drug patches that soaked into their skin and soon, Greed was swarmed.
_____________________________________
Lust had sent her vampires which were quick to drink him off his blood. He was sandwiched between two of them, powering and grinding against him as the crowd continued to roar.they were all full of silicone and drag queen makeup. The girl with her hands on his hips may have had a real ass, but everything else was disturbing. Or he was seeing only what he wanted to see since he only had eyes for Zoe these days.
He laughed as her pointed to the one ready to bathe him with her tongue. "Come on Lust, really?" He made a disgusted face. The least she could have done was throw a redhead at him.
_____________________________________
"Since when is blonde and boobs not your type?" she snapped her fingers at the girls and then sharply kicked one right in the ass hard that made the rest of them scatter with shrieks. Lust didn't even flinch, "It has been awhile. I tell you what, you pick." her voice was challenging and suspicious. Her eyes watched him carefully. He'd resisted her and floozies. Something was up.
_____________________________________
"Since they're full of silicone and look like drag queens." He was in a tight space here. If he forfeited now Lust had him by the balls, but the more he put up a road block the harder he made this on himself abs the possibility in keeping his seal of a girlfriend.
Lust needed him. He wasn't going to be the one that crawled on his belly looking like a fool. "I don't dig the fake shit." He slapped his chest up against her, looking down on her but still not with the urgency she wanted of him.
_____________________________________
She didn't move one inch, just glared at him, "Is that so. I'm not fake. And you still try to resist me. So it leaves me to wonder the reason." she laughed and looked to the side, "Oh wait." she had a snarl as she turned back to him, "I. Don't. Care. What I do care about is my big powerful brother is a weak pathetic mess right now. Losers don't get to be King, Greed. I only can have a winner next to me. And you are SADLY mistaken if you think I can't knock that crown off your head and give it to someone else."
_____________________________________
"I'm not resisting you, I'm making a game of it. Isn't that what you like? Games?" She didn't like him being this grown up conniving thing. Was she scared of what he could be without the cloud of illusion she put over his head? That he could be his own entity? The Greed now was stronger and he knew she hated it. She didn't want him to be more powerful, and for Greed that was healthy knowledge. "The only weak mess is you thinking I'm replaceable."
_____________________________________
She was getting angry and trying not to. She was upset and mad and scared... but she was also worried. This was not Greed. "I made you." she looked him dead in the eye, "And I can re-make you. I told you before, we sit on top of the Sins because we work together and I don't want to, but I will dump you and replace you if you're going to be weak. Envy already tries to be like you and fails... but if I helped him...." it was a threat. Greed as he was now, strong and his own man, no, Lust could not replace. But the Greed Lust had helped mold, her mirror.... that she could effectively try again to do. The point wouldn't be to create another Greed as much as Greed himself would find he was no longer on top.
_____________________________________
"Envy will never be me," he hissed, anger flickering in those blue eyes. "Groom him all you want, he'll always be second best and you'll know it every time you fuck that poor excuse of a dick." Yeah it tucked his feathers, as much as he wanted to be on his own. It didn't mean Lust took her pick of the litter out of what was left.
_____________________________________
"I'm not doing this, Greed. You are. You have a choice here. Either be the Sin I know you are or leave and get replaced. Envy won't be you. He'll be greater when I'm finished." she grabbed his wrist and twisted it to look at his watch, "Because you're my mirror, I'm going to be lenient on you. You have till midnight to decide. If you're ready to be King again and rule this city with me, then we'll start with this party, fresh slate. If you decide you're going to be... " she looked him over as if he was a piece of garbage, "...one of them." and she gestured vaguely at the mortals around them, "Then don't bother staying." she now had genuine concern in her eyes, her hands on his upper arms as she gave him a sympathetic look, "Consider this carefully, baby.. it's always been you and me against the world and when it ends, all that'll be left is us." her tone soothing and gentle. She was after all doing this for him. Mother knew best.
_____________________________________
"And I bet Envy is riddled with disease and rabies. He's like a rat." He didn't like it being rubbed in his face that she could even think to make Envy her new spawn. The VERY thought of it made him burn with jealousy, but he wouldn't give her that. Not yet.
He knew she want just throwing empty threats at him, but this was the perfect opportunity to have some time from her and figure out what he was going to do. "See you at midnight." He jerked his wrist back and headed into the crowd to the other side of the building where he could text his girlfriend and get her out and about to see him. If he was going to be on Lust's hitch fir a while, they'd have to be careful...and it would be her chance to leave that last impression before he was sent into a Lust coma.
_____________________________________
Zoe was on the couch when she got Greed's demanding text. She frowned and texted back It's not a midnight kiss if it's not at midnight. I will see you when you're done with all that. It had been so hard to leave him that morning, she couldn't do it again.
_____________________________________
He emphasized that Lust was doing her thing and he had some time to spend. It was like he was Cinderella and he had until midnight before the magic wore off.
I want to see you.
_____________________________________
Instead of texting back, she facetimed him, wanting to video chat. Her face on screen showed she was on the couch in her apartment in one of his shirts because she missed him. Definetely a complete opposite from Lust and the other girls at the party he was at.
_____________________________________
She could see him in his shiny, fancy suit, lights all about and loud people. He wasn't with Lust, he wad in his own in the middle of a crowd. Very similar to hope they had been at the con rave. The difference? He lit up when he saw her, closer than he'd been with her there in person.
_____________________________________
It seemed like a great loud fancy party, his scene. She said something but it was drowned out by the crowd. She just smiled then, happy to see him even if it was just on a screen and waved as her hair fell in her face.
_____________________________________
Greed pointed into his ear noting that he couldn't hear her. He spoke but it was as muffled as her. "Wait, wait...." He craned his neck out to find a private spot off to the side where he wasn't smashed between silicone and sweat.
He got a good glimpse of her with her flowy hair and big fat eyes. It made him grin.
_____________________________________
She ran a hand through her hair since she hadn't expected to see him even on video tonight. No makeup, just his old shirt, and hopefully not too messy hair. She waited till he got to a spot that seemed to muffle the noise and she bit her lip before asking, "Having fun?"
_____________________________________
Greed shrugged. He hasn't been ready yet, to let her go. Now Lust had his nuts in a vice, waiting for his answer. He looked our to the crowd, then moving the phone so she could see and back to his face.
"You're not here."
_____________________________________
She was touched but went, "Pfffft you don't want me there... look at my outfit." she moved the phone back so he could see more of her and used her free hand to flip her hair as she joked, "We would totally clash." they had been clashing for awhile, they'd just started to gel and he was off again.
_____________________________________
"Not if you wore that as a dress." He laughed just watching her light up in video. "Wait wait what else can I see with this thing?"
_____________________________________
She made a face and wrinkled her nose, pulling the shirt together in the front tighter, "Not a whole lot of what you're thinking mister...." she gave him a look. She wasn't gonna flash him on video if that's what he was trying to get at.
_____________________________________
"I can't take a peek down a little lower?" He smiled wishing she was more than a video. He couldn't grab onto flesh that was a LED screen.
_____________________________________
She smiled and snuggled into his shirt some more so only part of her nose and eyes looked out at him, "Saying no to screen you is a lot easier than saying no to the real you. So no." if he had been there in the flesh, it wouldn't have mattered if she said no.
_____________________________________
"That's so not fair. So come out and play..." He'd not seen her for a fee hours and already it was too long.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look and sighed, reclining back on the couch, "You know I can't. And those are your rules, not mine." she was going to get gut punched for asking this but she looked at the screen hesitantly, "Can't you just come home..?"
_____________________________________
He scratched his chin at that, huge baby blues showing even what he hadn't said. "I can't do that." It was actually painful to say. "Lust is no empty threat..." He paused, "This may take longer than I had hoped for. She thinks I am weak." Which meant he had to save face and beat her at the same game.
_____________________________________
She looked like he just kicked her and dropped her gaze to the blanket in her lap, "Right. Of course." she sighed and refused to look at the screen, "Would you hate me if I said I wish you were sick so you could throw up on her..." maybe Lust wouldn't want him then.
_____________________________________
"Just put me behind the bar and maybe in an hour or so I could pump my stomach when she gets me." He touched the screen, wiping against her cheek with his thumb. "She claims she can replace me with Envy." As much as Lust's words were being unraveled the more knew, he couldn't hide the greed of someone else taking his place.
_____________________________________
She looked up at his words about Envy, there was almost a flicker of hope in her eyes. If Lust switched her sights from Greed to a different brother.. then wouldn't she leave them alone? He didn't seem happy about it though. "Is that a bad thing...?"
_____________________________________
"I'm not replaceable. Especially with that rat." She didn't get it that when all was said and done, when Zoe aged and died he would be left again with nothing, and Lust threatening him with Envy meant he was out, really on his own and never would he be able to go to Lust. He was still a selfish Sin and he didn't want to see his helm taken from him.
_____________________________________
Zoe looked like he just slapped her and looked down, "So what I'm hearing is there is a way for you to be with me but you don't want to take it.." her voice was quiet. She looked at the screen, "Chance, when you leave me, I get it. I get that you can't give her up. You don't have to call and rub it in my face." before, when she'd been submissive, in Lithuania he had tried to get her to support and help him with Lust. It had driven her over the edge, and right now, he was shoving her towards that cliff again.
_____________________________________
She managed to make him feel like a total dick and that was ok, it just that look on her face he couldn't deal with. She wasnt going to help him out of this, so he was stuck in the middle of these two women in a tug of war. "You asked!" He retorted like a child.
_____________________________________
She was frustrated and hurt, shaking her head she responded, "You go do whatever it is you feel you have to do. I'd wish you a happy new year but it looks like it's just going to be the same old crap again." because after all that, in this moment, she was second and nothing had changed.
_____________________________________
He was always stuck making shit decisions when he thought he was doing the right thing. It was a real fucking curse. "And get you fucking killed. Ok. Sorry if I'm trying to keep your head. You think of Lust goes abs makes some prodigal son with Envy that it's over? No. Shit would be worse because Envy is a nutjob psycho who would burn you alive in front of me for Saturday evening fun."
_____________________________________
Zoe pointed a finger at him, "No! Don't you dare make this about me. This is not about me. This is about you. This about you not being replaceable. This is your jealousy. This is you wanting both of us. You can use the 'keeping me alive' excuse to do this but you do not get to use it to be 'noble'. This is all you." she wasn't stupid, he was a sin, he was selfish, he always wanted it all. It was who he was and she knew it.
_____________________________________
She was throwing this shit bag back in his face where he'd thrown it. He didn't know what to do because whichever way he turned it was going to stink on either side. So he stomped his feet like a child because she was right.
_____________________________________
She didn't bother trying to hide that she was on the verge of tears because he needed to know how much pain he put her through. She took a breath and said, "Do what you have to do but don't contact me again until you're done..." she wasn't going to survive it.
_____________________________________
"Fine." He was ill, maybe he needed to be to keep his mind fresh when Lust tried to suck it all away. It seemed they would never have a New Year's that wasn't shrouded in the things he had no control over.
_____________________________________
They always had shitty new years, she wished they didn't. She didn't want to end on such a horrible note so touched the bottom of the screen, her eyes were still sad and heavy. "Hey..." she said softly, "I love you." even if sometimes she wished she didn't.
_____________________________________
He didn't like seeing her so depressed, it really tugged on something deep inside he was still figuring out. "I deep fat fry egg roll you." She made him so mad but he was crazy about her.
_____________________________________
She smiled a little but it barely touched her eyes before it disappeared. She moved closer to the screen so he could only see her eyes, "I said the actual word so you could get sick." she said in a conspiratorial tone about her puking wish earlier. But she was joking. Maybe. She kissed the tips of her fingers as if sending him a kiss and the screen went dark.
_____________________________________
Zoe's fading face was what vision he had to live with trying to figure out his answer to Lust, or if he didn't buy more time somehow. Lust hated anything that involved bodily fluids that weren't healthy sexual exchanges. Zoe's last words were a seed of thought in his crazy brain. The difference in Halloween and tonight would be what Lust saw herself. It bought him some time and wiggled him out of a deal he wasn't ready to make.
_____________________________________
Lust was the center of attention as it always should be when she was at a party. Every male eye was on her as she danced with her current toy, a middle aged guy who owned half the city. She expected Greed to be on his knees soon enough, she wasn't in a rush.
_____________________________________
When Greed did find her he had already spun himself in with the crowd. He'd also found bottles of scope stashed in the fancy bathroom that the cleaning lady hadn't used yet and drowned himself in it. It made his breath nice and minty but it also made it an exploding device for Lust.
By the time he'd made it through the crowd back to her current little lap dog he looked at her as if she should drop him immediately. Greed was there...no matter for how long. It didn't mean seeing her grind and grope other men made him ecstatic.
_____________________________________
Lust smirked when she saw Greed approaching them and she kept her arm loosely around the neck of the man who was trying to lick her. "You're early... not that I blame you. You've decided how you want to start the new year then I take it."
_____________________________________
She was quite smug. Greed would let her bask in that moment of triumph for a moment before he destroyed it all. He circles around her, sandwiching her between himself and the old fart. His hands slipped in around her waist. Underneath his cool exterior was a stomach churning under the weight of what he'd drank. If she juggled him just a little it would all be released.
_____________________________________
Lust knew Greed would realize where his place was. That was how it had always be. She turned around and grabbed onto his tie, her back pressing against the man she was using earlier as she pulled Greed towards her mouth. One kiss and he wouldn't be going anywhere for a long time.
_____________________________________
Her lips were a viper, ready to sink her teeth right in. It was a coil he had to keep himself out of because the moment her lips hit his he was in a different dimension.
The jerk of his tie was the right action to send his head spinning. He could feel the bile hit his throat and he slumped over, the contents of his stomach glistening her pretty blue shoes.
_____________________________________
The scream that pierced the air was so loud and so shrill, it broke a few glasses. Quite a few guests turned to look as Lust had a look of horror, disbelief and rage on her face. She had vomit on her. Not only were her expensive shoes covered in throw up but there were flecks of barf on her dress. The STINK of it was on her. She let go of Greed by shoving him away as hard as she could like he was vile. Her breathing was labored like she didn't know if she wanted to kill someone or pass out.
_____________________________________
Greed knew Lust would make ribbons out of him with her nails once she got her hands on him. That would be after she massacred the rest of the building. Once he picked himself up, using a few stunned partiers as leverage he slinked out of there. Lust wouldn't have anything to do with him for a while. She may smoother and mother him, but Lust would not pamper vomit.
_____________________________________
Lust still screamed and raged while her current boy toy tried to calm her down and get her out of there. Greed was not even a thought in her mind right now as she was covered in BARF. She might pass out. Meanwhile, Zoe was curled up watching a movie on TV as midnight was right around the corner.
_____________________________________
Greed had managed to project only on Lust, save the drop of vomit on his shoe which was an easy clean. His stomach was still a little shaky even as he got to Zoe's and crawled out of his car. He may have knocked just at midnight, or a little late because there were fireworks already starting to go off.
_____________________________________
It was a couple of minutes after midnight and Zoe could hear the fireworks and was trying not to think about the fact she was starting the new year alone in her apartment while her boyfriend was-- she furrowed a brow when she heard the knock at the door. Jonah had a key... she threw the blanket off and padded barefoot to the door, opening it a crack to peek out, her eyes getting big and her mouth dropping open when she saw Greed. She opened the door fully and looked shocked, "Ohmygod...." her mouth hanging open again. She was so dreaming this.
_____________________________________
"I need your bathroom..." It was the first thing out of his mouth, "I think I drank like three bottles of scope..." he'd done that for her, because he hadn't been any more ready to leave her than she was too let him go. Her sad puppy eyes had been the last thing he saw and it made an impression.
_____________________________________
"Oh... yeah, yeah, of course. Come in.." she took his arm to lead him inside and then made a face, "You did what!?" She helped him over to the bathroom, "Why did you do that??" he'd drank scope before and barfed, she didn't know why he'd drank three of them this time. But she was really happy to see him.
_____________________________________
"I was buying time. Lust hates vomit and I got it all over her." He collapsed down by the toilet, sweat beading up on his forehead. He want sure if he had more left in him or his body just trying to settle. He wrote his face with the back of his hand. "It was either that or let her kiss me."
_____________________________________
She helped him to sit by the toilet and squatted next to him, using the sleeve of the shirt of his she was wearing to wipe his face and at the sweat. She paused and looked even more surprised, "You... barfed on your sister? And you didn't kiss her...?" now she knew she was dreaming.
_____________________________________
"She screamed so loud..." He actually started to laugh, "she must have had ears bleeding." It was funny now. "On her shoes abd I think her dress. She'll be disgusted for while."
_____________________________________
She covered her mouth when she laughed a little hearing about it. When she put her hand down, she was smiling. She stroked his hair, "You loon... why did you do all that? You hate throwing up.."
_____________________________________
"Because I wasnt ready to be anywhere else but here." With her. She had sparked the idea, the rest was done as only Greed could pull off. "I'm just glad I didn't get the suit dirty. Then I would have been mad." It was a nice suit, fancier than office wear. This was definitely a party suit.
_____________________________________
She was touched. She kept stroking his hair, "You're insane..." she said softly and touched his cheek but those big eyes that had been sad before were filled with nothing but love now. He was a bit pukey still it seemed but she gave him a soft kiss, as much as he could handle. Their first kiss of the new year. In a toilet. It seemed like them.
