WHO: Zoe & Greed WHEN: June 16 [Backdated] WHERE: Greed's apartment WHAT: Sign this to be my girlfriend WARNING: None Note: The log reads backwards
He watched her poke him with those slender little golden fingers. She had magic in those damn things. He leaned in to seal the contract with a kiss. Maybe that's all he needed from her to know she'd keep it.

She actually missed his surprises, his random attacks and kidnappings. She'd come to enjoy walking down the street and getting tackled to the ground by him which he never did anymore. She could live with a little inconveinance for the sake of a Greed surprise. Provided it didn't interfere with working hours TOO much, but since he loved his job so much she doubted he'd take time off to surprise her. At the end of the contract, she said, "There isn't anything here that I don't really consent to... or agree with. I'll sign it if you want me to... but this," she pointed at her heart, "..is what binds me to you." and she moved her finger to gently poke his chest over his heart.

She wouldn't be aware of when and where only that surprises were on the agenda. Greed just kept jabbering on until he came towards the end.

She didn't comment, she didn't mention that there were so many things she was looking forward to doing with him. Picnics and outings and just talking for hours like they used to. She didn't want to overwhelm him so instead she just kissed his cheek lovingly and said, "What else?" wanting to see what else was on his mind via this contract.

It might be a little different, but thwy both needed to accept Greed as a constant, growing entity. That was the human process.
"Well lately it seems like you kinda forgot that..." she said quietly. He never seemed to be interested in her unless it was for satisfying his sexual urges but she stayed snuggly close to him, grateful to see more of her Greed again.

He hadn't said that in a long time. He hadn't wanted that in a long time. She slowly looked at him and it was clear in her eyes what she was thinking and she asked, just to make sure, "You'd really give up sex... just to... to.. spend time with me?" they hadn't done much of that outside of the bedroom either, he'd been so hung up on Digger.

"We've done other things before. Sometimes I just want you." It didn't have to do with sex or anything sexual at all. Sometimes he just wanted to be with her curled up and know that she didn't want to be anywhere else.

If you're not ready for me to have a sleepover here.. I don't mind catching the bus back on Sunday morning. Or I can hitch a ride with you to church and take a bus from there while you go inside."

He wasn't letting anything slip through the cracks. The lines between his family and his own world were getting very, very blurry again and he didn't like feeling that one of them would take something of his away. When it involved two breathing people---the stakes were a lot higher now.
He cleared his throat and continued. She had a job now, their time was more divvied up than it had been before. He still wanted the weekend. He still wanted Friday through Saturday with her solely. It was usually the only time they had to themselves, and they both really needed to explore that in more depth. He needed to find her again and as she had said before earn back what she'd taken from him. Her trust. So far they were definitely not there yet.

But go on..."

It wasn't just a matter of him choosing who got to live there with her, but how completely, utterly, disinterested they had to be in her. They couldn't be too old (or too young!). They couldn't be good looking, psycho, killers in waiting or anyone that Greed deemed unworthy. More importantly they had to like dogs, because Sammy was also a part of this contract and the current living conditions. He flipped the page again moving on to the next subject...
Digger was also on their list of situations. "I wanna know when he tells you something that impacts me." Not that he thought Digger was going to lie again (but he couldn't be sure what his siblings would do), but Digger's safety was now on his list. "I want to know when something happens to you that you think could impact me." He was covering all his bases now. And that list of Do's and Dont's got longer as he flipped through and hammered out all the things that to a normal person seemed rightly insane.

She raised a brow at her middle name that he inserted which wasn't hers but she didn't question it since he was on a roll. "So no men unless they meet you first.." she gave him a look, "And of course I doubt they'll want to live with me after they meet you.." but she didn't argue. For now. She sighed as that was just the first page, "Okay, next..."

He took it out when he sat down on the couch, poofing out his vest and being sure he went over this thoroughly. He crossed one leg over the other and tapped the couch cushion beside him for her to sit...as close as she possibly could. First was all the legal part, the big mumbo jumbo fill in to explain what this contract was all about and how it binded her to him. He even gave her a middle name to make this as legit as possible. It wasn't her real one, but he made it look damn good in print. Once he cut through all the introductions and openings he could get to the big stuff. There were some concerns he had now that he wasn't going to be living in the apartment. Certain disclosures that needed to be finalized. Things that he would have a say so in (as if he were a landlord talking to a tenant). He softened the words a little with his tone of voice, but the concerns were very clear. She wasn't to have any men move in, and if those were the only applicants he had to interview them. There were certain standards that would have to be filled....
And this was only the beginning.

She also knew this was important to him and pretty much his way of airing his hurts and issues when he normally got very lost in his head otherwise. But she was still nervous.

A lot of time, probably days longer than he had Digger's because there was a lot more involved with her than there was Digger. It made his insides ache to think about at the same time. He'd put himself into this contract as much as he had her. He gave her a quick kiss, wiping his hands clean with a towel and got up to retrieve it. He might have just fed her penis cake and pancakes with tea, but he was going to be professional about this end of it.
He sat back down with it in hand. "I want to read it."

I just wanted us back and.. that doesn't excuse it but that's why I'm saying maybe what we need is a step back. Like with you moving out. You said you needed things to be as they were before you came back so you can get used to it again. You weren't in a relationship normally... maybe.. maybe you need to get used to it again. It's a lot to take in," she rambled on, "To go from a swinging bachelor sin to having a house in the country with a girlfriend and a dog.. the you you were before you met me, if all that landed on his head at once, would he be able to handle it?"

Until I can earn it back." she knew how much Greed loved the titles of the relationship, 'girlfriend', 'boyfriend', the possessiveness of it.. but she'd burned him badly and he was trying to hold tight to a hot piece of coal and still felt the pain from it.

He stood after a while to get the cake from out of the oven where he'd temporarily placed it and shuffled around Dante's cups and plates so he could fit the giant white thing on the table.

He couldn't have just one thing, and that wasn't even desert. This time he'd tried red velvet cake. He just didn't realize that with the penis pan his cake was going to look like it was bleeding. He'd decorated it under a mountain of edible gold dust.

She shook her head, "No, not at all. Thee tea was steeped the right amount... and the pancakes," she grinned, "...are edible. And I love that you went to so much trouble. The table and the china and the food and tea." Zoe was happy just that he tried, that he wanted to.

After the pancake fiasco he was a tad worried about his abilities. Lust would have shoved it off the table, then again he wouldn't have cooked for her. Greed had done something (while selfishly for other reasons to butter up to Zoe) for someone else.

It gave him a rush and he liked the rush.

Normally there had to be something more heated (these days) to get that kinda reaction, this was practically a peck compared to those kisses.

He seemed to not really care about her little soft kisses and touches anymore and honestly she'd been not giving very many because she always felt it was so one sided. But when she was moved like she was now, it was pure and spontaneous and filled with emotion. She smiled, "You okay?" since it was rare he'd go speechless in the middle of showing off something to her.

She always turned his insides to goo when she did little things like that. He had to sit down beside her because his knees felt a little weak.
She touched his cheek to make him look at her and then leaned in and planted a very soft kiss on his lips. Nothing vulgar or even hot or horny. It was chaste and beautiful in how simple and innocent it was, just a gesture of nothing but affection for him.

It smelled like roses and if you put a sugar cube in it, it turned into a drink that tasted like candy and was probably the closest taste to ambrosia there was and most likely why Zoe favored it. But it was a detail of something she liked and she was just continually surprised now whenever Greed would remember it.

He took her purse from her because she stood there so awkwardly with it, it was starting to drive him crazy. He put it out of the way on a coat hanger, which had more than coats on it, but there was a free space because Greed made one. "They're antique." But Greed like to use his things, not always keep them behind closed doors. It was part of showing them off.

He cooed at the fluffy little bastard as he puffed his gills and swam back and forth in the box he thought was a ten gallon tank. Greed's attention was quickly diverted to his tea display. "Like the new dishes?" He picked up one of the empty cups to show off the expensive pieces. Even his cutlery was new and had yellow ivory handles.

Something about him was fierce, feisty and deserved a name he'd become fond of. "I'm gonna name him Dante." She grabbed his face and he came glued to her eyes. "Okay feed him every two days. Got it." He vaguely remembered having a fish before and it didn't make it past a few weeks. It was also a little needier than the sturdy Betta.

All you have to do is sprinkle this fish food in his tank every few days." and she held up the fish food container and gave it a shake. She wasn't too worried, she hoped to be over enough that she could feed the thing if Greed forgot.

I was thinking a goldfish but I know it wouldn't have been unique enough for you." she looked at him, "I know you miss Sammy and you can't really have him here or any sort of animal.." cause Greed just wasn't capable of taking care of another living thing all by himself. He did with Sammy cause he was with Zoe at the time, "..so I thought maybe a fish. It'll give you some company and all you have to do is feed it this food once every few days." and she took out a small container of fish food from her bag. "I couldn't carry a bigger aquarium." she explained since it wasn't a very large aquarium that she got. She hadn't even noticed the tea set up yet, focused on Greed.

When Greed invited her over for dinner at his place, Zoe kinda turned pink with pleasure, it was kinda nice to be asked.. he never had a need to do it anymore when they were living together. So she went home to take care of Sammy and freshened up after work, wearing a flowy yellow dress, still his color since she was still making amends for her lie, and the dress dipped a bit in the front and she added a pop of color with a moon necklace. She knocked on his door and waited, feeling nervous again. In her hands she held a square shaped box that was covered so you couldn't see what was in it.
