WHO: Zoe & Greed WHEN: October 4 [Backdated] WHERE: Zoe's and Greed's apartment WHAT: Greed fails at wooing WARNING: None Note: The log reads backwards
She was distancing herself from him, which she had every right to do. He didn't have to like it, he just had to love her. "Okay." His voice ess tiny, a small wounded child that had been slapped.

She still debated about going back with him, not sure she trusted him to suddenly turn over a new leaf.

She shook her head and curled her short hair behind her ear, "No... I can't hate you. Even at your worst face, I won't hate you. But when you're this person, that hurt you're trying not to feel? I feel it. I can't not feel it. And it hurts here." she pointed to her heart, "It feels like you're crushing it in your fist and I can't breathe and I can't get away." she felt for him, she knew he hated emotions, "But that's what a heart does, Greed... it sucks when it's in pain but if you don't let yourself feel the pain, you don't let yourself feel the good stuff too." and they had good stuff, they had love, once upon a time.

"If I focus on the physical stuff then all this up here," he pointed a finger to his temple, "then all this doesn't hurt. I hate when it hurts." He meant his emotions, the switch that he wanted to keep off that she had flew open with her honesty.

The harder he'd pushed for touch and kisses, the more she'd withdrawn. "You made me feel like meat." he'd said she'd been treating him that way, that that's all he was after. It was because that's what he'd been showing her that's what he was after.

Too many things swimming around for Samson to be comfortable. The only thing left in his hands was the leash that had burned into his hands when he tired it around so tight. "I haven't?" He asked about the tie. He'd been so focused on the desires of the flesh he didn't see his mind was thirsty too. Hugs mind had been protected by his own wall.

I've been waiting and hoping to see some hint that you miss me but you don't. You see a toaster that you don't want anyone else to have." her shoulders sagged as her voice softened, "You haven't even asked me to knot your tie once since you've been back...." that was their thing. When they'd been apart after the con disaster, he even asked her to knot it for his big interview, because it was one of the small things she did that he loved. It had nothing to do with her body or her lips, it was just a little touch that was all her.

His little family had had too many changes. Both Greed and Zoe abd Jonah were the pup's world and it was topsy turvy.

Well now she just flipped that switch so fast he was going to vomit. "I want something to hold onto and I dont even know what but I'm...." He took a deep breath, "I'm losing it." The reason he'd been having those panic attacks were out of desperation, not only that but the lack of blood flow to his brain because he'd turned off all that emotional crazy. He didn't know how to function anymore, in his head he had just been on vacation.

That I can't eat waffles because it reminds me of breakfast at your place in the mornings?" she felt her throat burn as she kept going, "God... do you know that Chance didn't want me but I was a warm hole so he fucked me anyway? No, you did know that. But do you know why I stopped with him? Because he was just a body. He wasn't you. And if someone had told me you can have Greed forever but you can never touch him again, I wouldn't even have to think of what my answer is. But you? All I am is this body. And right now I wish I could switch with someone else just to give you what you want so I can move on." because to her, she didn't see him caring about her, she saw him obssessed with wanting to touch her and kiss her.

Extremely desperate. Physically he was trying to hold on. "I---" his mouth clamped shut because he didn't know hoe to answer that question, he didn't know how to feel about it. Worse was that he was feeling anything about it. He didn't want to flip on that emotional switch but she had already triggered something.

"Is that how it is in your head? You went on vacation and then your girlfriend flipped a crazy switch? Because I have a newsflash for you, that's not what happened. I am not being cruel and you are NOT the victim here so stop acting like it."

It was easier to make Zoe out to be the bad guy here than to face his emotional crisis since all the switches. He'd turned that off and focused on what he thought was the problem here. He focused on her physical form and not what she could supply mentally because that was far more damaging. Greed had to protect himself from that kind of pain...
"Well it sure seems easy for you!" He threw in a pouty retort. The harder she pushed him away the more panicked he became because he had nothing to hold onto.

"I don't know." she said honestly but it was clear she didn't want to be in the apartment.

She was his perfect diamond sitting on a shelf surrounded by glass. Each time he shattered the glass around her to hold her he was only holding empty air and left to watch the glad build up a stronger wall against him. It was difficult fir him to be within a few feet of her and be left alone in his bed at night. It wasn't the sex he missed as much as knowing she was right there. He'd gotten a smile out of her tonight only to have it stab him back with an ugly frown.
Samson started to bark when he saw Zoe leave the building, and he snapped off the leash to chase her down, maybe intentionally to being his new friend back to her.Greed just wrapped the leash around one hand as tight as could until his hand turned pale abs then he did it again on the opposite hand. It made his body think there was something to hold, it also hurt and sometimes physical pain was better than the emotional. "Where are you going?" He asked somewhat frantic.

No matter how angry they got, she had told him it was the one thing she could not stand and he did it anyway. She couldn't even kick him out because he paid rent but she could not breathe in the apartment. She went to her room and stuffed some clothes in her backpack, put on a pair of jeans and sneakers and pounded down the stairs. She didn't know where she was going, but she was not staying here tonight.

So why would I pull all this romatic shit just for me to torture myself knowing you won't even let me snuggle you while watching a movie. I know my title has been stripped as boyfriend, maybe just maybe I was trying to get it back. But no, I'm too much of a dick looking for ass." So, he'd not held any of that back.

And it's shitty that you did all of it because all you wanted was a way to get back in my pants. Tho you know, I don't know why you'd want to be in there since you'd just burn up and die anyway." and she stood up, she'd had it.

He would recall what she was talking about and why she'd have to move him. When he did a big grand sweeping romantic gesture then, she'd given him a BJ.

Straddling it." she looked over at him, his arms and his neck, "Running one hand through your hair as I got ready to kiss you..." so maybe she'd had half a glass of wine with that gyro. It was tiny.

"There's cake!"

She set the plate on the table and looked at the blankets and pulled one over. The fact he was in plaid and a tank top with his gorgeous arms showing did not go past her but she didn't comment on her. But it was clear to see she was excited by this date night. While he popped in the movie, she took a big bite of her gyro and Mmmmm'd, "This is pretty good..." what they saved of it anyway.

It wasn't dolled up, but Zoe liked the arms, the tank and the little shower of chest hair that branched out from the top of his tank.
He stole little bites here and there, dipping it into the leftover cucumber sauce. It wasn't half bad. With the windows open, the smell had almost escaped.

She was smiling a little through the entire process, this was unexpected and very cool.

The couch he'd even put a ton of blankets on so that it was comfy. And she may not have noticed from the other day, but he'd put a canopy of stars on the ceiling. Glow in the dark ones that kids put in their bedroom. That way when they watched a movie in the dark there were a million stars in the "sky". He tried to ignore the fact she was telling him this didn't change anything and focus on the fact she was smiling. Greed missed that smile.

He tried too hard, but that was what made Greed...well Greed. "Yes I was going for gyros but its a little burnt." He scraped off a piece of the chicken with his knife. It was crisp.

Since when do you cook?" she normally had to shove him into the kitchen to cook with her and if she didn't put a bowl or a knife in his hand, he would just stand there and watch her.

It was perhaps the only thing he'd not messed up. The chicken was charred, though they might be able to scrape it off and salvage some. The veggies were still okay as was the pita bread. Greed really couldn't mess up pre-packaged pita bread.

She moved quicky to the kitchen, the robe loosely tied in front, making the skin of her torso that peeked out shiny with bath water. She gaped at the mess and all the food, "What is going on??"

It was okay because he had dinner to fix. She had no idea that all that food he'd stocked up on was to be cooked tonight. All of it. He had the recipes Digger had given him. They were relatively simple, but Greed had underestimated her stove and his uncoordinated hands in the kitchen.
Greed let her go to enjoy the bath while he made a mess of the kitchen counter. There was a reason they made cookbooks for the challenged. He had a million bowls out and diced veggies (which he'd nearly chopped a finger off), and chicken strips that would fry in the pan if he could only figure out the temperature seeing. What Digger had given him had a typo, so he wasn't sure if it was 350 degrees or 360.

He'd thought about rose petals but he'd used daisies instead because they had yellow in the middle to lead her from the kitchen to the bathroom.
