WHO: Greed & Zoe WHEN: August 7 [Backdated] WHERE: Zoe's apartment WHAT: Greed wants his necklace WARNING: none Note: The log reads backwards
As she started to release something drove him to hang on just a moment longer. Greed was so deep in his own arrogance that he wasn't looking at this as giving her up, because he never just gave anything away. She was being very charitable, she was being selfless something he really had no knack for. He kissed her lips softly, if not albeit needy. It was when they parted ways that he could feel the weight in his stomach, but by then she was gone.

But they weren't sobs, they were just quiet tears that streaked down her cheeks so he wouldn't know. She took a few moments to compose herself and to stay in his embrace before she finally uncurled her hand from his shirt, her fingertips grazing up the back of his neck like she used to do. She took a breath and gave him one more loving squeeze before whispering in his ear, "Be happy." and she kissed his earlobe even though there wasn't a tattoo there anymore, it was what she did. She stepped out of his embrace if he'd let her, she couldn't be near him anymore, she had to be alone right now. Well.. isn't that what had just happened? She was now officially alone.

There was a twitch as it wiggled inside causing him to have a brief moment of guilt. That brief moment got stuck in the silence as she clung to him with her body shaking. His arms folded around her, chin nestling against her neck. It didn't feel like goodbye to him until she did that.

Her eyes were wet and swimming with tears as she wanted him to show some emotion. But he didn't. She moved forward and put her arms around his neck and held him tight, one hand gripping the fabric of his shirt. She held him like she'd never see him again and she wasn't sure if she would. This was it, her entire world was slipping away and she wasn't doing anything to stop it.
On Sun, Jul 20, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: She still refused to cry and it made him mad. The bracelet looked empty without her arm inside it. He put the screws back in their place and pocketed the trinket. The necklace went back around his neck. He wasn't understanding the full effect of what he'd just done. Without words it made this transaction so surreal. It wasn't as much a done deal as his and Andras' written agreement. This was a silent transaction, he had been the one to rip out the rug from the both of them, and right now he wasn't feeling any remorse.

His hand felt cold and rough, not warm and loving as he took it off. Her wrist slipped out of the rose gold and she felt very empty without it on. Her hand covered her naked wrist as it dropped in front of her. Maybe part of her had hoped that he'd stop this nonsense.. but a bigger part of her knew that this wasn't nonsense, and that there was no stopping this. Now she was the one who didn't have anything to say.

With the flip of his head he looked at her so crossly. He'd start bleeding later when that wound that she'd stabbed right in the gut took effect. It would rip and tear him up inside when he realized what he was asking of her. He slipped the chain off his neck, not saying a word holding onto her wrist while he unscrewed those tight rose-colored screws. Now he'd turned into the zombie who had no recollection of what he was actually doing.

She was almost pretending it wasn't her loving boyfriend standing in front of her. But this stranger, this person who didn't know if he loved her enough. "The only way you'll be completely free... is if I am." she said in the same hushed voice. He couldn't be tied to her with this. This bracelet was their commitment to each other.. which they didn't have any more.

He stared at the bracelet for what felt like hours, just those words echoing in his ears, granite being wedged down his throat. He couldn't even choke out a reply, he just stared. That was such a definite end.

She'd fall apart at home but right now she refused to give him any reason he could use later and say that's why he didn't leave or didn't do something. "Greed.." she said softly and raised her hand, showing him her upturned wrist where the bangle she wore glinted under the harsh store light. He was wearing the screwdriver, it was time to take the bracelet off to seal the deal.

If this deal hadn't gone down they may not be on these terms, but he had something new he needed to explore. Tricks that the big bad old Sin couldn't give up. He couldn't expect her to wait around, but he would. He would expect that her life would be at a standstill without him. She was too addicted to him wasn't she? He didn't answer for a moment, his throat feeling parched.

But all she could was say, "Alright... so we're officially over then." but that was the thing, she was saying 'we', this wasn't just his freedom, it was hers. "We're not bound to each other and we're free to do what we want." she was not going to be a toy he put on the shelf while he played with something new.

Changing bodies kind of made things a little clearer for him. It put things into more black abd white terms, so he wasn't tripping over the unknown. "I think I need to be able to have freedom right now." He needed the chance to see if the grass really was greener. He needed to explore. The problem is Greed thought she'd just wait for him.

She would have raised hell if he ever tried to break up with her but the fact he was unhappy just ripped her apart. They had problems, sure.. but unhappy? "Then... I don't know. What do you want to do? Be honest, I can handle it." she wanted to know if he wanted to be with other girls. Although, she kinda already knew. She had a feeling part of the problem was when he kissed other girls, he didn't feel the same Sin high he used to. But they had to figure out how to untangle themselves.

I hope if it is, you'll let me know." she sighed, avoiding his eyes, "Greed, people who make deals with demons don't do it just because they want something, everyone wants something... they do it because they're unhappy with what they have. It means that this, us, is not working for you.. and I don't know how to deal with that. " she was being honest, "But I do know that you have to decide what you want to do. So tell me." were they breaking up or taking a break?

I... want to be with you. And I don't doubt you want me but.. you're you. You want everything. And my pricetag seems to be a bit more than what you're wanting to give up right now. But what happens next, I'm not going to make that decision for you, that's your choice." she was doing for him what he denied her, giving him the right to decide what he wanted in this relationship. She wasn't going to just lie down and take it, but she showed him her cards, now it was his turn.

Greed only questioned with the curiosity of a child. Now, with Zoe she was making every decision of his far more adult with more adult consequences. He was as infectious as Envy, arrogant as Pride, deceitful as Lust, disoriented as Sloth, hungry as Gluttony and untamed as Wrath. There was something about them all that was childlike even when they played games as the most excelled chess player. They were just simply what they were, and no human body was going to change it.
"So what are giving me no option?" No alternate route?

But now everything was becoming clearer.

He really hadn't even realized that the root of all this while she thought had been sex related was really a cloak of something far, far deeper. More of who Greed was was invested in this relationship. It wasn't as black and white as he made it out to be. If this split was proving anything it was proving that boy and Sin were really not all that disconnected.

There was a reason Greed had never obtained something so pure before, no matter how far he rode the fence. Loving him was never going to be without it's twists, there was a darkness there that was deeply embedded. This wasn't like some demon in love with an angel, it was a bit vampiric, but it was a battle he'd never fought before. He didn't exactly know where they were going. He knew what he wanted and as much as he tried to not make her a replacement for someone else, Greed was putting her in place of Lust. It was uncharted territory and she couldn't blame him for being slightly venomous in hating it.
On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 11:42 PM, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote: That was like a knife to the heart. Zoe had tried so hard, SO hard, to make sure she didn't try to hamper his Sin any but she ignored the biggest thing. That by him loving her, and how unnatural it was (they wouldn't be in this pickle otherwise), he was not being a full Sin. "And if it does...?" she didn't have an answer, but she wanted to know what he was going to do if the answer was yes. To be his full powerful Sin self meant he had to be without her. But he was the one who said that he couldn't be without her.
On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 8:37 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: "What if loving you makes me less of what I am..." there was a little hiss at the end of that whisper. She invited that answer by asking such a question and maybe she needed to hear the hard truth. Greed was never going to be a boy free of selfishness. This wasn't something he could grow out of. Zoe could show him a lot of new tricks and things he wanted, but in the end Greed was going to love himself more than her. There was no getting around that. And in his moment of weakness in front of Andras' he'd had to battle out that doubt in himself---that alone was unfair.
On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 11:31 PM, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote: When he didn't answer, Zoe was a little taken aback. She swallowed and then asked (glad her back was to him), "Do you think you're a joke because we can't be intimate... or do you think you're a joke because you love me?" there was a difference, a big one.
On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 8:27 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: Greed by no means was thinned skin, he had skin as tough as leather when it came to what other's thought. But in these long months of becoming far more human than he'd ever been, it had stretched him considerably. To have someone in a powerful position laugh in his face. To even think of himself as a joke was putting him back on the same plateau as Lust. He was finally defining himself away from her and yet he'd stumbled and back-tracked like he always did. He was never going to not be at risk in keeping Zoe, but there was that bitter thought that what if someone else trumped him as Andras did. What if it was Lust, or another of the Hell family? What if it was the Virtues, what if in the process it killed what Greed was?

Greed had gotten soft in his time with her. He had rounded out his sharp edges. It made those stings from others a lot more pliable. He was soft and that was just a shove in his face. So he took the route of an attack dog instead of laughing back with confidence.
On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 10:39 PM, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote: Okay that stung.. even if Greed wasn't the one who did it, someone laughing at them because they couldn't have something everyone took for granted was just mean. She took his hand off her shoulder and held his hand in hers, squeezing it, "Well... he's a jerk. But did you think he'd be understanding? He's a demon. You're the one whose always saying we can't tell anyone about our... issue." he didn't want her to tell Jonah. Now she wondered if instead of being used against him... he was afraid of being judged. She frowned as she wondered... he always said he wasn't embarassed of her, but was he embarrassed that he couldn't be with her?

So if she thought he was gliding by easy with it, then she had him mistaken. It was hard to watch himself walk around just a shell of who he used to be. Far more literally than he'd ever like to admit. "Andras laughed at me." That was what had riled his temper. "As if what I wanted was a joke."

No, she wasn't used to that, but she loved it. She still sometimes couldn't believe he wanted her. But now he still wanted her when he had the chance to just go. She closed her eyes, not quite as stiff under his hands but still unsure. "I'm still mad.." she said softly, "You hurt me.." but she wasn't pulling away, her hand still stayed on top of his, for once she wasn't trying to get away but she wasn't ready to face him.

She needed to hear them now in this voice, in this body because it was all they had right now. It wasn't any easier on him, he just hadn't thought of the consequences of not bringing her with him. He was acting irrationally as Greed did when the urge to take something was strong.

Being intimate is something that is not in the cards for us, we have options and ways but we will always have limitations and restrictions. And you don't do well with those."

She missed him so much. She wanted to say something snarky when he asked her if she felt it but she was too sad to do it.

When he could flaunt that he fucked his 'cousin', it worked very well on the creep factor. Zoe had been inside for a good half hour before Greed waltzed in making himself at home. The girls there could have sworn new seemed familiar, but his face was so different, and not of a man that would regularly raid a toy store.

"You know what, I feel so awful that he couldn't be with you because of me because he was... just.. talking about you.. the entire time." the redhead's mouth dropped open and she looked at Greed with stars in her eyes, "You were?" and she was like a cat rubbing up on him.

Greed spied the room looking for the first place that seemed the most logical. The couch had a pile of blankets and pillows. That meant someone was spending it on the couch and it smelled human. It wasn't cocoanut flavored so he guess it was most likely Chance who had made that couch a bed.
Greed dug into the cushions, yanking them from the frame of the couch one by one. He found a tv remote, dog toys and a few quarters (which he was sure to slip in his pocket) but no necklace. He wasn't sure where else the boy would actually go other than the bathroom or Zoe's room. He checked a few shelves on the wall and then for the bedroom.

When Greed approached his blonde self he was met with coldness and a flippant attitude. Really? Greed hadn't quite settled into this Andras' shaped being but he could work with what he had. The first thing he wanted to know was why this human self had problems with his Zoe-shaped angel. The confrontation turned heated pretty fast as Greed demanded he know why his human self had no attraction to her. Everything out of Chance's mouth were excuses (and how could he help it when everything was hollow inside. There wasn't even a person in there it was just emptiness with echoes of where Greed used to be).
Even if Chance showed marginal interest, Greed still got in his face with that aggressive attitude that said 'BACK OFF SHE'S MINE', and they were just back on this hamster wheel. It was tiring. Greed badgered him more about things related to Zoe. He was pissed to find out that that screwdriver necklace wasn't even on him to steal, which meant it was back in the apartment somewhere because where else was the blonde bastard staying? He eventually let Chance go into work, the job that GREED worked for that he hoped didn't get polluted by his nasty human-self. If he fucked up that job Greed was going to break his nose.
After that encounter Greed headed to Zoe's apartment which seemed pretty empty from all the stink. Virtues and human selves were gone. Zoe looked to be out as well, so he went to picking the lock of the front door. He'd have to comb over the whole place to see where that bastard had left his trinket.
