"I want you to stop being a jackass about this and telling me to get over it when if this happened to you, if ONE of your precious stupid ties was even cut in half, you'd be alternating between raging and bawling for DAYS." and she dared him to deny it. _____________________________________ "I would..." he walked them, jarring her feet so she'd actually take a step or two. "Those are some expensive ties. I have one for every day of the week." In fact he had a different set of boxers for each day and back-ups. He mapped out his wardrobe like New York's subway system. It was intense, a little crazy, but it made sense to him. _____________________________________ "Then why are you being such an asshole to me!?" her face crumpling as he walked them forward. He was acting like she didn't have a right to be upset. She knew he didn't like her down but she wasn't a toy that she could just snap out of it. She just needed to take a deep breath and accept what happened and be able to grieve. _____________________________________ This wasnt getting anywhere. With a loud groan Greed stopped them abruptly spinning her around to face him. "What do you want to do?" His arms still kept her prisoner. _____________________________________ She looked at him when he spun her around, "I don't know! I just want to be able to be mad and sad without feeling like I can't because it ruins YOUR mood. I don't want to feel like you only wanna be around me when I'm happy. And if that's the case then just leave me alone for a little while." she meant it, she'd get through it on her own without him making her feel worse for how she felt. _____________________________________ "Well my mood was shit until we got out of the apartment but now it looks like it's bled over to you." He shook her softly so she'd look at him. She was going to drain the life out of herself through all those tears it was kind of gross. So much water. Before she could speak another word he just cloaked her in his arms. _____________________________________ She opened her mouth to fight with him but then he was wrapping her up in his arms. After a moment, she just burrowed into him like she just wanted to hide in that cocoon he made. She did have tears in her eyes but it was because it was a lot to take in and she was a crier. But she confessed softly something else she hadn't voiced yet, "I'm scared.." she knew he laughed off these things. Like the wolf, he didn't even bat an eye, but she wasn't big and strong and dangerous, she was small, and fragile, and spooked easily. _____________________________________ He squished her a little tighter. "Don't be." He had enough strength for the both of them. She just had to let him when she was ready to break. He did hate her when she was sad. He didn't like dealing with it because he didn't like being there himself. "I've got you." _____________________________________ She sniffled a little, letting him be the strong one as she just got to get cuddled, "Promise?" she asked in the same hushed tone. He was her protector and despite him failing her before, she never felt safer than in his arms. _____________________________________ "I'm your big bad wolf." He'd keep her safe. He'd always try to keep her safe because she was his. She would never be anything but his.
