WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: Friday/Saturday
WHERE: Zoe and Jonah's apartment, beach, highway, Greed's apartment
WHAT: Bus drivers and constellations
WARNING: Sin antics
Zoe hadn't had another drink since Greed stayed with her but she was restless and the tub wasn't cutting it. She wanted to go to sea. Despite it being where so many of her problems were, she loved the beach and she didn't get to go very often. She'd dressed in shorts and a long sleeved button up denim shirt that had a bikini top underneath but her tennis shoes were sparkly thanks to a DIY crafts project Greed did which she thought was basically glitterbombing her kicks. She was doing up his tie in the snazzy knot that he liked, the one that always indicated he'd spent the night with her (so it was there more often than not), "Sooo.... I was thinking I'd go to the beach today...." she paused and raised her gaze to his eyes, she knew he hated the beach but she wasn't saying he had to go. She wasn't even inviting him, he had work. She was just letting him know.
_____________________________________
"The beach?" He didn't expect his voice to squeak so high, but she knew better. He hated the sand squishing in his toes, the chafing from water-logged swim trunks, or the prunning of fingers. The worst of it all was the sea spray. So, she was absolutely nuts.
_____________________________________
She kept her eyes on his, "Yes.. the beach. You don't have to go. I mean, you're going to work but I'm gonna spend the day there... I don't know what time I'll come home." but she'd come back eventually, either her place or his. Wherever he was was home to her.
_____________________________________
"What are you going to do? Just sit?" Unless it was watching girls play beach volleyball Greed wasn't sure what to do with a beach. Or what to do on it, at least in their case. He assumed in a silent way she was looking for Theseus, he didn't believe she was over it.
_____________________________________
She finished fixing his tie and smoothed it down, eyes on the material, "Yeah... sit on a blanket on the sand, have a picnic, build a sandcastle, go in the water, take a walk.... just relax." she wouldn't push him, she knew the only thing he liked about the water was the fact she showed more skin than usual.
_____________________________________
"Alone?" They did things alone, he gave her space when he needed it (and when she was getting crazy), but she was going by herself? "I thought we already did the space thing for the month?" Unless she wanted to start it a bit early. "Tired of me already?" He knew better, he knew he hated the ocean.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look with a furrowed brow, "Yes alone.I would love it if you came with me but I'm not going to force you to, I know you hate the beach." she put her arms around his neck, "I just need to do this. You could join me after work?" she kissed him briefly, "But if not.. I promise to be Cinderella and be home by midnight."
_____________________________________
There was a distinct lack of smile when she voiced she was definitely going alone. His lips were a thin line, his brows heavy over his eyes. He wasn't pleased. "Where are your glass slippers?" He'd make up his mind when he let it really sink in later, but at the moment he didn't want to be late for work. He was not a happy camper, and midnight was miles away.
_____________________________________
She kicked up a foot behind her and looked at it, "Not glass... but still sparkly." talking about the glitterbombed shoes. "They'll do." she looked back at him and mustered up a half smile, "Can you give me a kiss to last the whole day?" since she wouldn't see him for lunch or right after work.
_____________________________________
He was reluctant at first to give her anything more than a peck on the lips because she was abandoning him for an entire day.
_____________________________________
She leaned back at his weak kiss and raised a brow, "That's it? That won't last me the next five minutes." She gave him an eskimo kiss, "Can you really be grumpy? You have work all day, you'll probably work late and then I'll see you a couple of hours after you get home."
_____________________________________
"You're abandoning me for a whole day! You expect me to be happy?" He wasn't going to budge. With a face of a grumpy six year old Greed refused. It wouldn't last, but he would make her feel sympathy.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look, he never made anything easy. "Okay, I won't go." before he could get excited tho, she held up a finger and eyed him, "On one condition. Since you claim I'm abandoning you for a whole day, I won't go if you don't go to work today, cause that's abandoning me." and she knew he'd never go for it, the dingdong actually loved his job.
_____________________________________
He smiled triumphantly but she nailed him. Of course he wasn't going to miss work. He loved work. "I'm not going to miss work." He growled, making a face as she completely switched this n him. She was the one going to the beach!
_____________________________________
She put her hands on his cheeks, "Then looks like I'm going to the beach." and she gave him a big smooch since he refused to kiss her properly and they were not going to argue about it anymore. "You're going to be busy with work all day and I'll be home a few hours after you get off work, you won't even know I'm gone." he could always visit her at the beach but she wasn't going to hold out hope for it.
_____________________________________
He still held on to his pout, those fat lips a glossy red now that she sucked on them with with her lips. "Midnight, no later." He sounded so stern, like a parent.
_____________________________________
"I promise, otherwise I'd turn into a pumpkin." she kissed the side of his pout and would at least walk him to his car. She might have backed down at any other time but this was something she really needed. She had a bag packed with stuff and was looking forward to spending the day there. At work, Greed would get to deal with Derek who of course made a big show about going to lunch near the toy store (only Greed would know that Zoe wasn't there today).
_____________________________________
Greed had a picnic by himself since Zoe was soaking up the ocean. As the day waned on Greed became more and more disturbed that when he got home she wouldn't be there. At five o'clock he was almost thankful, but midnight was a ways off.
_____________________________________
Zoe let out a huge sigh when she got in the water, her bag, shoes, shorts, and top resting on the blanket she left on the sand. The ocean water was something that settled her like no bottle of booze ever could. At 5, she was nowhere near ready to go. She had hours still.
_____________________________________
When Greed got home it was nearly seven o'clock. He'd binged on Chinese food, peeled out if his suit and tie abd started dubbing into video games. But after ten o'clock he got antsy and started to text her like a madman.
_____________________________________
Zoe was wrapped up in an oversized sweatshirt, her hair open and fluffy from air drying in the sun, her skin was golden and salty and she loved it. She sat there on the beach watching the waves crash, and sighed when her phone buzzed again. She texted back to Greed Will be home SOON she stood up, she should probably head to the bus.
_____________________________________
"It's ten o'clock!" Two hours might be pretty short, butt to Greed when he was expecting something it was nothing short of torture.
_____________________________________
I'm boarding the bus, can't go any faster unless you wanna come down here and drive it back to the city. she was only joking of course. She was tired and planned on sleeping as soon as she sat down.
_____________________________________
He grumbled and complained messaging her at least ten more times before letting her sleep the rest of the trip. But, she wouldn't get too far before the bus driver pulled into the side of the road. Zoe would hear a loud pop, as the tire burst on her side and peeled back before the driver came to a stop. It would delay her getting home and and Greeds worry when she wasn't there at the time she'd said.
_____________________________________
Zoe frowned and hoped to just wait it out, eventually she'd text him and tell him the news... bus broke down, she was stranded not at the beach but close to it.. a replacement bus could take another few hours. Unless he cared to pick her up, she was not making her deadline.
_____________________________________
He waited impatiently for about half an hour. After forty-five minutes he texted again wanting to know what the hell was taking so long. Surely she hadn't been kidnapped on a bus aftermidnight. Of course someone could have kidnapped the bus and was driving it over a cliff right now as he typed his message. Fucking shit, he should have just gone in the first place. Clearly the bus system was at fault, or some imaginary hijacker that Greed had propelling thoughts in his mind.
_____________________________________
Zoe had no idea it was taking the replacement bus so long to come and she completely missed Greed's texts because she was fast asleep. She figured it'd be a few minutes an they'd wake her when it got there.
_____________________________________
By the time the bus showed up to get her Greed was already headed out to locate it after figuring out a semi-route it may have taken to head home. That was if the hijacker didn't take it into the some countryside lake. In his mad dash to head out the door he'd completely forgotten his phone on the kitchen counter. If Zoe felt so inclined to let him in on what was going on, he wouldn't get the message.
_____________________________________
She woke up when they were moving to the second bus and saw the missed texts. Sorry! Fell asleep, the bus is here, be home soon, actually soon this time and she boarded the second bus, wishing she lived closer to the beach. Or he did. She had no idea he had concocted an entire bad guy plan in his head that he was off to foil.
_____________________________________
They missed each other by a fifteen minutes. He managed to find out from the tow place that had the old bus what had happened. It put some relief on Greed's mind that some maniac hadn't jacked the bus his girlfriend was on but it was still heading in the opposite direction without him! He could still blame the bus driver for taking off with precious cargo, and they could still end up at a lake.
He sped up to try and play catch up, singing The wheels on the bus go round and round in his head over and over again. It was painful the madness he'd put upon himself all from his girlfriend being late. He finally caught up, riding on the tail of the bus as if he were glued to it, honking his horn and then sliding over into the next lane so he could motion for the driver to pull over. Now Greed was the madman behind the wheel.
_____________________________________
The horn and yelling woke her up cause the driver was yelling at Greed out his window at what a lunatic he was. Zoe put her face to the window and could make out the car.. no way. When the driver pulled over, she bounded down the steps of the bus to get off and see if she was just imagining things.
_____________________________________
Greed's tires spun into the mud on the side of the road where he nearly went into the ditch. It was better than crashing his black beauty into the back end of the bus. The driver hadn't even opened the door but someone was already trying to get off. "There's a madman out there, don't get off the bus!" Not yet, he needed to first to see if it was necessary to call the police. The driver threw out his arm to keep her from bounding out but she squeezed past him anyway. As Greed got out he slammed the door.
"What the hell are you doing?" The driver asked. "You could have killed all of us driving like a maniac!" As Greed yelled back his own insults the man pulled out his phone. "Just you wait," he looked to see the license plate on the back of that expensive looking car so he could call it in to the police.
_____________________________________
"No-- I'm sure-- just--" she kept trying to get past the driver and when she finally did and saw it was in fact Greed, she turned to the driver and held up her hands, "No, wait! It's okay! It's my boyfriend, he..." she made a winced face because she had no excuse and just begged the man, "Please wait?" and then she looked at Greed totally stunned and jogged over to him, her mouth open, "Is everything okay??" she asked dumbly because wtf?
_____________________________________
"He hijacked the bus. It's fucking two in the morning now!" Greed's feathers were all ruffled, he was ready to strike. He didn't know where she was and all the scenarios in his head were far worse than the reality of the situation. Greed was a lunatic, he had a wild mind when it came to fantasies. His mind was almost a video game spurning in all sorts of directions from violence to having fun. Right now he was ready to punch faces into the side of the bus.
_____________________________________
She just stared at him, "He... he's the bus driver." She smiled a little tho as her brain caught up to what he was implying, "You thought the bus got hijacked so you drove all the way out here to save me?" it was psychotic and very sweet. She put her arms around him and said with affection, "You're such a lunatic.."
_____________________________________
"He's still kidnapping you..." he was pouty and worried. "Why didn't you tell me?" Her hug did nothing to derail his insane thoughts. He glared at the driver who waved them off and got back onto the bus. He wasn't waiting around for this. He had to get back to the city.
_____________________________________
"I told you another bus was coming and then I fell asleep and when I woke up, I texted you but you didn't reply. I thought you'd fallen asleep too." she squeezed him and gave him a couple of kisses. When the driver was about to get back on the bus, she turned and called, "Wait! Sorry.. my stuff. I just need to grab it."
_____________________________________
"I left my phone on the fucking counter." He smacked his head at the realization. He'd been on such a rampage he'd completely forgotten about it. He followed her up onto the bus, standing beside the driver as a vulture ready to pluck eyeballs from their sockets if he so much as started up the engine. The rest of the bus was an uncomfortable mess because now Greed looked like the villain in his head than anyone else. He looked like the psycho ready to take off with the bus.
_____________________________________
But Zoe was the farthest thing from a psycho, she was like a caramel angel as she swooped to her seat and excused herself as she picked up her bag and thanked the people for moving as she made her way back down the aisle. A middle aged woman and her husband sat near the front and she stopped Zoe, "Are you okay?" she asked, Zoe sighed with a tired smile, "Yeah, he's my boyfriend." and she reached behind her to take Greed's hand. To Zoe's surprise the woman smiled at them, "Aw, aren't you two a sweet couple." Zoe kinda blinked, "Oh..." and then she beamed with rosy cheeks that weren't just from the light tan she got, "Thank you....!" she said exuberantly. She and Greed rarely ever got comments where someone thought they belonged together.
_____________________________________
Greed was just as surprised to hear those words of sweetness. It wasn't music to his ears, because his insides fought such things, but it made him puff out his chest with pride. Hot damn he was a sexy catch, and he had a golden beauty. He clamped down when Zoe took his hand, a little less likely to take off the drivers neck now.
_____________________________________
Zoe couldn't stop smiling as she told the driver, "Sorry again!" but she didn't really look it, the compliment had sent her to cloud 9. She squeezed Greed's hand and literally hopped off the last step of the bus and grinned at him, "Did you hear that?" after all the crap they got, one random stranger commenting on how they seemed good together was like finding a bright star in an dark night.
_____________________________________
Once the driver pulled into gear, letting his foot up from the break there was the sound of exhaust hitting the air indicating that the bus was on it's way. Greed still clutched her hand and beamed brightly. He would have made a quip about the old woman but she'd actually been honest about it, not just throwing around words.
_____________________________________
Zoe swung thier joined hands back and forth a little, "We do make a good couple. I don't know any other boyfriend that would dash out into the middle of the night to rescue me from a wayward busdriver." she stopped and gave him a kiss for it. Then had a thought, "So... it never crossed your mind that I had left or anything? Your only thought was something happened to me?" and even tho they were on a dark deserted highway, she'd never felt safer.
_____________________________________
"Would you rather I have thought you left? You said midnight, I believed you." Perhaps he shouldn't have considering the kind of fights they'd had recently, but she wasn't going to just be able to "slip" out either. That was just ridiculous.
_____________________________________
"And I meant it! I didn't know the bus would break down. But that's just it... normally you think I left or got kidnapped. And.. I mean we just had some rough sailing there. But..you trusted me. You trusted my word that I was coming home." sort of. He didn't wait it out, he came after the bus, but did it because he thought she was in trouble, "How come..?"
_____________________________________
"It bothered me when I didn't hear from you for hours. It got...lonely." She knew he needed his space accordingly to do greed-type things, but seeing Derek's ugly face for a day without the promise of seeing Zoe after just crawled right under his skin. "I had this whole scheme running in my head that you were hijacked and going to be driven into a lake. I had to stop it." A lake of all things was the first thought probably out of past circumstances that reared up whenever they were on the rocks.
_____________________________________
"This coming from the dude that kicks me out of his apartment if I stay for longer than three days." she went on tip toe to kiss his nose cause he was adorable, "You're crazy and sweet, you know that? But it still doesn't answer the question... how come for once you didn't think I'd run away?" and she tilted her head as she wrapped her arms snuggly around his neck, enjoying just being there alone together.
_____________________________________
"Because you need me right now." As much as she fought him, yelled at him, made their relationship tether, it was stitched back together stronger than ever. She wasn't leaving him. His arms were velcro to her middle, tightening to ensure that nothing else was going to hijack her from this spot.
_____________________________________
She brushed her lips over his, "I need you always." she sighed, "You're all I have." and a wave of sadness filled her eyes. He'd let her down before but he almost always ended up coming through and making up for it. Unlike other cowards who ran from her.
_____________________________________
It was important to Greed to hear that. It was important for him to be her sole companion. She had friends in Jonah, but he was who she'd rather have, which was her own greed taking its hold. She wasn't much into sharing. His smirk was enough to blind her temporarily.
_____________________________________
She gave him a small wry smile, "Do you have to look so... satisfied about it?" she adored him but he had more than just her, it made her world feel unbalanced. Not because of him but because she made room for theseus and he rocked everything, turned it upside down and left her with the mess.
_____________________________________
"I like being it." But eventually like him it wouldn't be just enough. Zoe needed more in her family. Like an an animal that couldn't survive in water alone, they needed food. Zoe needed more than him.
_____________________________________
She cuddled him, "I bet you do." she kissed his cheek and just stayed in his embrace thinking on it and then looked nervous, "Can I ask something..." it was maybe why she only had him, "Am I hard to love?"
_____________________________________
"If this is because of your asshole family then don't ask me that. He's the one that's missing out." Greed had already expressed wanting those things from her that he'd been denied. Of course it was hard as hell, but he wouldn't give it to anyone else. So, his answer was quite simple and matter of fact. "No."
_____________________________________
She buried her face in his neck and shook her head, "No.. well.." she smiled some when he said a flat and firm no. She kissed his neck, "It's not cause of him.. it was just something... someone said once, I was just wondering if that was... you know."
_____________________________________
"Who? Who the fuck said that?" He was still a little ruffled, so he was on the defense. How could she be so calm about that?
_____________________________________
She looked at him, surprised he was taking it so personal. "No one important..." she an her nails through his hair and said, "It doesn't matter, I didn't think it'd make you so upset." she was purposely not saying, it'd make him even angrier if he knew who.
_____________________________________
"Who?" He wasn't going to let that one go. She realized that didn't she? His nerves still needed to settle down from the whole kidnapped scenario he'd planted in his head. She was here, he would get her home and make sure she didn't leave his apartment at all for the weekend.
_____________________________________
She ugh'd and put her hand on his cheek, looking into his eyes, "No one. Now come on, it's a beautiful night, we don't get to see stars like this in the city, and you have me in your arms in the middle of nowhere. Wouldn't you rather think of other things...?" and she nuzzled his nose with her own.
_____________________________________
"No, Zoe. I want to know." He wasn't going to just forget it, even if she swayed his mind to other, more intimate things. He was going to know. He wasn't in the negotiating stage here.
_____________________________________
She sighed, "Why? Why do you want to know? Do you really want to get angry and waste a perfectly good romantic night because of some asshole from my past?" and she widened her eyes at him. No good would come of this and they both knew it. But he also wouldn't let it go, she knew that too. She was just stalling.
_____________________________________
"Because I need to know so he can have his face punched in." When Greed was like this he was violent. No matter if she told him now or stalled, it wouldn't change his reaction. "No one says shit about my things." Possessive at this stage was an understatement.
_____________________________________
She gave him a soft look, "I love that you wanna punch them." she scratched behind his ear and tugged on the frog tattoo, "He said it before I was your girlfriend. And I think its nice you're so protective." so he was possessive, she liked it. She'd never had someone want her like he did before. "But how about I tell you later? And we can find a nice spot to lie down on the blanket in the bag and look at the stars and kiss til the sun comes up?" yes she was trying to tempt and distract him, he was in that hulk mode.
_____________________________________
She was trying her hardest to away his anger to something that wouldn't ruin the evening. "As long as you tell me. I won't negotiate that."
_____________________________________
She nodded, "I promise I'll tell you when the sun comes up. Romance and kisses first." she gave him a big kiss and put her hands on his cheeks to tilt his head back, "Look at that! Where in the city can you see that?" referring to the smattering of stars in the sky, which of course she loved. Some of the constellations even looked like the freckles on her body.
_____________________________________
"Where then?" Where they going to a park or open area? "A drive in?" Maybe park and put the hood down. He had brought the convertable with the nice weather.
_____________________________________
She shook her head, "I want you all to myself." she looked behind him at the car, "You got the convertible so we can pick a spot, park and snuggle up." she smiled, "I've always wanted to do that with you. Sit under the real stars." she'd blurted out something similar when she was sleepy and he'd asked her where she wanted to do it, she'd said the roof. It was because of the night sky.
_____________________________________
He was the only boy in the whole city, and probably the world that could take her to some desolate place in the middle of nowhere that she'd feel safe with. Him kidnapping her was an entirely different situation! "I think I could find a spot."
_____________________________________
She grinned broadly, "Thank you.." and kissed his cheek, shaking her butt as she unwound herself from around him so they could get in the car. She looked over at him as she picked up her bag, "Do you ever miss kidnapping me or trying to invent reasons to get me to see you?"
_____________________________________
"Maybe if you break up with me more often I will." Greed still made crazy, rash decisions that put them in bizarre circumstances. She wasn't completely in the clear.
Once they were in the car he dragged himself out of the mud so they could find a nice spot under the stars.
_____________________________________
She laughed and leaned over to kiss his cheek, "I don't like breaking up with you too often." she put her hand on his thigh, "But I mean.. do you miss the chase?" she knew how much he liked resistance and now they were in a committed relationship. She liked being settled with him, the chase could be fun (and infuriating) but there was another whole world they got to explore now. She'd been noticing something with Theseus and she was asking Greed to get his opinions on it first.
_____________________________________
"I guess I do. But if I keep battling your exes I'd say it's still a chase." Greed kept things rolling, because there was always something to get from her one way or another. "Why are you asking?"
_____________________________________
She pinched the inside of his thigh, "Remind me to say no to you more often." she sighed, not thrilled with his response. She'd also eventually run out of exes.. tho she had a feeling that Greed would hate Derek and Mike till they died.. and then be worried about their ghosts. "Nothing.. just was thinking of... Theseus." she was trying to get used to not calling him her grandfather. She never did to his face but she always did with Greed. "He left my grandma and my mom. And then with me.. he pushed hard to get me to give him a chance and when I finally did, he runs off. And it's like.. as long as he was fighting then he was in it, but when the battle's over, he doesn't know what to do, he loses interest, he.. moves on."
_____________________________________
"Owww!" He smacked at her hand playfully the moment her fingers pinched him. "He's a coward. Did you really think he'd change?" But even Greed himself had changed, grown in a way that made him strong. Theseus was weak, he was not strong at all.
_____________________________________
She grinned very briefly, happy to be playful with him again even if she was feeling blue, it wasn't about him. She looked at him and when he was done, she said softly, "You did." she had faith in Greed and he came through but with Theseus, maybe it was time she gave up..
_____________________________________
He couldn't argue with that, though the Sin would just insist he'd hoarded her and her merry-go-round of feelings. He started a game with her hand shoving it off his thigh every time she placed it back.
_____________________________________
She let him knock her hand away a few times but she snuck it back and when he went to shove it away, her hand pounced on his and tangled their fingers together. She knew he didn't like to admit that he had change to be with her so she let it go. When he finally parked, she was still quiet but that's because she was looking at the stars, if there was anything that rivaled her love for the water, it was the stars.
_____________________________________
It wasn't worth having the corvette out without putting down the top. It was a beautiful night, a soft breezewhipping through the open roof. The stars in the middle of the open field were brighter than they were in the city, as were the family of lightening bugs glowing around the car. They truly had a moment alone away from people.
_____________________________________
She let go of his hand and pulled out the blanket from her backpack. Without a word, she clamored into the backseat that didn't have a gearstick dividing their seats. Her sea kissed hair hung soft and open and one golden shoulder peeked out with a bikini strap since her denim button up was done up loose and she got comfortable with taking her shoes off.
_____________________________________
He was quick to crawl back there with her, pushing the front seats forward so they had a little more room. While she stargazed he stepped from his jacket, just in a snug tee that hugged all the right muscles. He snuggled in beside her, tugging her shirt down off her shoulder so his lips could pay attention to that sun-kissed skin.
_____________________________________
She grinned as he wriggled around next to her and got comfortable and then covered her mouth as a small chuckle escaped when he kissed her shoulder, "Hey, we're out in..." but then she paused because they were out in public... but really there was no one there to see them, she had no valid excuse to keep his gropes at a PG level.
_____________________________________
"You afraid the bugs are gonna gasp in horror?" There was no one else around for miles. She could strip and no one would see. It was a chance fir her to enjoy his mouth and attention. She should be grateful.
_____________________________________
"I dunno... we might scandalize some owls." she joked. She curled her feet up under her and leaned in towards him before stopping, "Wait, I thought I was supposed to start saying no to you more?" and she leaned away from him. She was of course teasing since he said he missed the chase sometimes.
_____________________________________
There was a low growl he emitted from deep down when she pulled away. That hadn't been what he meant. At least right now. "Owls like being spectators. We're just giving them front row seats to an all night show."
_____________________________________
She grinned and moved backwards till her back hit the door which wasn't too far away, "Mmm so we'd be helping the owls." she pretended to think about it and then shook her head, "Mmmmm no." she leaned forward a bit and mock whispered, "Having fun?" since the chase was what was supposed to be 'fun'. They both knew she was gonna end up in his arms.
_____________________________________
Greed grabbed at her when she played that game of let's piss Greed off. Hadn't he been through enough today? He'd waited very impatiently for HOURS. This was not the time to play with his head.
_____________________________________
She gave a squeal of surprise as he grabbed her and she ended up in his arms, "I think you prefer having me." and because he looked really mad (but cute), she gave him a kiss. A loooong kiss which was basically several short kisses broken up in a way to make it a long kiss. Plus she was wearing shorts so he had things to touch, he was a man who couldn't complain and yet she knew somehow he would.
_____________________________________
"I like to gnaw on you, so yes I like having you as much as chasing. Right now I'm not in the mood to chase." He bit softly on the side of her neck just before she managed to smother him in kisses. His hands did have the chance to wander but he was getting hung up on her shirt. He pulled on her bottom lip between his teeth. "Shirt..."

"I like to gnaw on you, so yes I like having you as much as chasing. Right now I'm not in the mood to chase." He bit softly on the side of her neck just before she managed to smother him in kisses. His hands did have the chance to wander but he was getting hung up on her shirt. He pulled on her bottom lip between his teeth. "Shirt..."
_____________________________________
"Get rid of it..." The hungry sex monster sin liked skin. He liked a lot of skin to fondle. She was hiding it.
_____________________________________
She eyed him as he said that, sometimes he got too caught up in the moment and forgot they had limitations. "Isn't that just going to get you all riled up?" she was wearing her swim top underneath but still, she knew he'd always want more. If he could get her entirely naked in the backseat, he'd go for it.
_____________________________________
He only saw this as an obstacle, not as a limitation when he was caught up in the moment of getting to have whatever of her he could. He pulled back enough to rid the buttons of the shirt from the holes. "Maybe," he kissed her again so he could ninja her shirt from her body.

She widened her eyes, "Maybe??" but her eyes closed when he kissed her again. She tried to squirm as he worked her shirt off of her and protest but he was very convincing with his lips. "Chance.." she said on a sigh. He was just setting himself up for disappointment but she loved him for trying.
_____________________________________
"You've been gone all night, give me something..." he shifted so that his back hit the cushioning of the seat back. He wrangled her into his lap so at least he could get a view of this bikini. And even if all he did was kiss and fondle her skin for a while, he'd take it.
_____________________________________
"Oof!" she let out softly when he pulled her into his lap. She nuzzled him and let the sleeves of her open shirt slide down her arms, "You saw me this morning..." her shoulders and tummy were bare but the shirt was captured around her wrists.
_____________________________________
"That was this morning. It's now about three a.m. That's just three or four hours shy of a day without you." That was excruciating wasn't it? It was when he wanted her time. He released her wrists from the shirt bondage so her arms were free to move. Her lips however were still ripe for kissing, which he did so whole-heartily.
_____________________________________
It was actually the sweetest thing even tho she was sure Jonah would say it sounded creepy. When her arms were free she put them around his neck and teased lightly in between kisses, "Are you saying you missed me...?" since he rarely ever said the words.
_____________________________________
"I'm saying you were gone too damn long." He returned this kisses but was already fiddling with the straps of her bikini. It was just another barrier.
_____________________________________
"Maybe next time you'll come with me.....?" she asked hopefully before squirming in protest, "Chance...!" there was no way she was going to let him take her bikini top off. She tugged on his ear and gave him a look, "I feel like a stripper." he was peeling all her clothes off while she sat in his lap fully clothed. Not that she wanted him to take his clothes off, she was trying to point out the ludicriousness of the situation.
_____________________________________
"What?" He mocked her surprise, fingers ready to untie whatever knot she had her straps in. Or at least he thought it was a knot. "The owls don't mind."
_____________________________________
She put a hand on her hip and gave him a look, "I do!" she snuggled into him, "I don't want owls seeing me topless..." her tone suggesting that was a very weird thing indeed. He had plenty of skin to play with and with the bikini top on, the tattoo on her side was visible.
_____________________________________
"All they're gonna do is stare." He was whining in his desperation. Sure he had plenty of skin to play with, and even now Zoe was uncomfortable with him fondling her boobs in private let alone in the middle of a field.
_____________________________________
She gave him a horrified look. She didn't want anyone or any bird staring at her boobs... She poked him, "How would you like it if you were sitting here topless so birds can stare at your boobs?"
_____________________________________
"Birds can look at my boobs. You want me to show them off?" He leaned into the back of the seat, looking at her with the hint of moonlight above them.
_____________________________________
She wrinkled her nose and laughed, "You're missing the point.... AND my legs are showing, yours aren't. So it still wouldn't exactly be fair." she pointed out. She was trying to get out of him trying to get her out of her clothes.
_____________________________________
"What's the point?" Of course he was missing it, Greed didn't see things from her perspective until she brought it up. If she wanted more skin from him he could accommodate. So before she could bring it up again he lifted his shirt over his head.
_____________________________________
She was momentarily distracted by the wall of skin in front of her and she reached out to touch his stomach and then shook her head, "The point is that even tho it's the middle of nowhere, it's still outside.. I don't like the idea of some wayward wanderer or cop wandering around and getting an eyeful. Besides, do you really want to risk someone other than you getting an eyeful of these?" she gestured at her chest with her hand and gave him a look. She hoped his super possessiveness, especially about her sexually, would override his need to see her naked. If another man got to even see her naked, she was sure Greed's brain would explode.
_____________________________________
"There's not going to be a cop way out here. This is kidnapping territory. You know where guys leave you all night alone to the birds and the bugs. Somewhere Envy would dump a body." Not that that was what was happening here, but he was making a point. It was deserted. She made quite a point as well. If some other man got to see all of her naked he'd be pissed. "Fiiiiinnnne," he took her hands and flopped them on his man boobs. "You get to fondle then."
_____________________________________
She wrinkled her nose, "Isn't that all the more reason for a cop to be out here?" she countered. "I know its your family but just to let you know, whenever you bring them up, it totally kills the mood." she frowned, "Sometimes I wonder if I should be worried that you take me to places like this." but she slowly grinned when he relented and put her hands on his pecs, "Oooo I'm such a lucky lucky girl." and she squeezed his moobs. But now at least there was some skin to skin contact.
_____________________________________
Greed wasn't trying to kill the mood. He was making a point, quite badly apparently. "I didn't want to kill the mood," so maybe her getting to play with his skin could boost it again.
_____________________________________
She gave him a sympathetic look and rubbed his chest, "I know..." she sighed, "I just don't think our families really bring romance to the air." now her brain went down this tangent, "You've met all of mine but I haven't met all of yours." she paused, "Let's see, I met your mom and nearly fainted. I've met Wrath of course.. and the other one." meaning Lust, "And I don't know which one Envy is but I'm gonna go ahead and say that I've met him." since the guy infected her, "And I met your brother who is now your sister... so I think that counts?" she frowned, unsure. She'd never met Pride or Gluttony tho.
_____________________________________
"Not my family...and as for Envy, if you ever see a watered down fugly version of me, that's Envy." He looked down at her hands realizing that he had just dumped a pail of cold water on the mood for them both. Now they were just sitting here with skin exposed chit chatting about the crazy psychopaths in his family.
_____________________________________
She made a face, "I rather just see the full, handsome you and never cross paths with Envy again." she snuggled into him, the mood not very sexy anymore for sure but she still wanted to cuddle and liked being in his arms. She was quiet for awhile then pointed at the night sky and a cluster of stars, "You see that? That's pegasus." even tho the stars looked like a bunch of dots, Zoe could see the winged horse like she was an ancient greek.
_____________________________________
In their own bubble behind the walls of his apartment he could explore any part of her he wanted. He could notice the trial of freckles on her back formed perfect constellations of some of the stars they'd seen earlier. It wasn't something he'd ever noticed before, but he'd always known they hadn't ever been just random. As she slept he ran his finger up and down and around, connecting dots as if it had been pulled out of a coloring book. He fell asleep on her, cheek to her back where he had still been drawing out the shapes those freckles formed.
_____________________________________
She' slept for most of the car ride if he let her and she pretty much collapsed on his bed and was sleeping as soon as her head touched the pillow so he had free reign of her body and she didn't notice she was topless till the morning. She tried to get up but immediately couldn't when she realized he was on her back. She reached one hand behind her and it dropped on his head and she mussed his hair in her sleepy effort to move him off.
_____________________________________
Greed just grunted against that light fluff of his hair. Her fingers were always magic wandering around in that forrest of blonde tresses. He wasn't in any position to move, he'd finally just fallen asleep a few hours ago. He still had some snores to go.
_____________________________________
She could hear him grunt and even smiled with her eyes closed as she whined into the pillow, "You're drooling on meeee....." she could feel the scruff of his cheek on her naked back, it tickled.
_____________________________________
"Am not," he countered in a lazy reply, snuggling up closer the more she tried to shove him off. He was a couple hundred pounds of muscle slapped on her, she wasn't getting up any time soon.
_____________________________________
"I can feel it...." she said as he cuddled her more. Her eyes opened a crack and went to the side as if to look at him, "I can feel more than drool...." since his entire front side was on her entire backside.
_____________________________________
He smiled just rubbing up against her. "I know. I'm not getting up." He was comfortable with his face plastered to her skin.
_____________________________________
She laughed into the pillow and said, "Yeah? Mind telling that to the rest of you? I don't think the memo reached south of the border." she grinned and actually liked being flattened under him.
_____________________________________
"He's just happy to wake up to you." It wasn't a common occurrence when she was the only girl he'd wake up to that wasn't Lust.
_____________________________________
"He's gonna be unhappy when he realizes he can knock all he wants, I'm not answering..." cause she was not having sex with him here. He'd burn up and die. But she was content to snuggle.
_____________________________________
Just as he'd killed the mood in the early morning, that revelation enough to make him roll off her back. It didn't make the morning wood disappear. That works take a little time.
_____________________________________
As soon as he got off her, she started to get up and then squeaked, she had no shirt on. She lay down on top of him, so her boobs were hidden, "You sneaky ninja..." she rained kisses all over his scruff, "How do you like drool on you?" tho she wasn't drooling, she was smooching.
_____________________________________
He grinned triumphantly as she snuggled up on his bare chest. "Do you know Pegasus is on your back?" She'd shown him the constellation earlier and he'd found it on her freckle map. He'd bypassed the drool comment because she already knew that answer.
_____________________________________
She folded her arms on his chest and gave a puzzled look, she turned her head to look over her shoulder and then back at him, "Is he invisible and only you can see him...? Cause he's a lot lighter than I'd think a horse would be..." mistakenly thinking he meant the actual winged horse instead of the constellation.
_____________________________________
Greed snorted a laugh, biting down on his bottom lip. "No, that was just me laying on top of you. I'm talking about the constellation on your back."
_____________________________________
Her eyes went big as she raised her brows, "I have a constellation on my back....?" she whipped her head over her shoulder again but of course couldn't see down her own back, "Where?"
_____________________________________
His hand snaked down her back. He'd memorized those dots, and started to connect them with his finger. "It starts right about here," his hand dipped down, "and ends about here."
_____________________________________
She shivered as his touch slid down her back. She narrowed her eyes and leaned in to put her nose to his, "Are you making this up....?" she didn't quite believe him.
_____________________________________
"Nope. He's there on your back, along with the big dipper." Probably a few more just in a mini version.
_____________________________________
She kept eyeing him and then turned her head to look over her shoulder and then made a frustrated noise like a kid. She looked at him again and asked, "Take a picture?" it was the first time she'd asked him to take her picture nude and would probably be the last and she definitely didn't mean it in a sexy way.
_____________________________________
Greed was not going to pass up that opportunity. He stretched his arm out for the phone on the end of the nightstand but with little luck. He'd have to move. Sliding or from under her he managed to get the phone and take more than enough pictures. Including one that showed the slight curve of her but at the base of her back where the arm of big dipper lady.
_____________________________________
Zoe made sure her boobs didn't show, she was not gonna let him take actual nudes of her. And she didn't get her face in the shots either, just her hair or part of her nose would show. "Only my back!" she said when she saw him moving downwards toward her butt. "I think you got enough?"
_____________________________________
He poked the spot where the dipper lay, "It goes to here, I'm just being sure I get it all in." There was probably more to take pictures of down her back, front, everywhere. Now that he knew those dots actually formed something, he'd be more curious to see it all!
_____________________________________
She squirmed at the poke and then pulled the sheet up to cover her front so he couldn't 'accidentally' take another pic and get her boobs in it. "Lemme see...!" she was pretty excited, she'd always thought she just had freckls all over for no reason.
_____________________________________
He'd almost snapped that unsuspecting booby shit but she sneaked in the bedsheet first. He handed over the phone for her to get the full effect of her freckles. He actually wondered if he covered them in black light paint would they glow like the night sky?
_____________________________________
She held the sheet to her chest as she took the phone and enlarged the pics to see. She looked in awe, "Wow... it kinda does look like it. I mean, maybe we're just reaching but..." it was kinda mind blowing how it was there and she'd never known. She put the phone down a strange look on her face and then she looked at him, almost borderline upset, "And you noticed it?" she couldn't believe it and shook her head, "No one's.. no one's ever noticed it." she'd had boyfriends before, they'd seen her back but Greed was the one who took that kind of time and interest that he pieced it together.
_____________________________________
"I have some glow in the dark paint...." He was seriously curious to see if she glowed like the night sky. It had him excited to think about. It would be like finger painting on her back.
_____________________________________
She smacked his chest a couple of times to get him to focus, "Chance, you are the only person in the world to notice this!" she leaned against him, "Either you love me an insane amount or.... I don't even know." she looked at the picture again, "None of my other boyfriends ever noticed.."
_____________________________________
"What I seriously want to coat you in body paint so it can glow like the sky." He had noticed something new (or old, it depended on how one looked at it), but most of her exes were never really intimate with her to pick up on it.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look with a sigh, he was missing the significance of it but it only made her smile, "You're hopeless. And insane." she put the phone aside to put her arms around his neck and tackle/pull him back down onto the mattress, "It's daylight outside, I wouldn't glow."she pointed out and kissed his stubbly chin. Maybe she was hard to love but it made her so happy to know that Greed didn't care, he loved her anyway.
