WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: Backdated last Tuesday night
WHERE: Zoe's apartment
WHAT: Can we talk?
WARNING: Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear


The apartment was dark, the only light on in Zoe's bedroom, her door closed. The place was too empty and quiet and she tried to convince herself that she wanted to be alone right now anyways. Zoe was in her jammies of PJ bottoms and a tank top and she sat on her messy bed with a book in her lap, only occasionally stopping to make notes. She was trying to keep her mind off things. She'd turned her phone off since the day before, since.. it happened. She didn't know what would be worse, hearing Greed's excuse or finding out she didn't have any messages from him at all. Both scenarios were pretty bad so she just left the blasted thing off.

Her morning with Patience had drained her and left her more confused and upset than ever. She tried hard to not let what he was saying get to her but she knew it did. And she couldn't even ask Greed about it because he was God knows where.. who cared, he wasn't here. She felt like an idiot.

She smiled, "Oh good. Tell me what else I can do to ruin the moment."

She turned her lips in for a second and nodded, "Ah, I see. My fault for choosing you. Good to know that you'll leave me behind whenever there's trouble." she flicked his ear where the tattoo was and grinned a little, "All you had to do was not ditch me. You didn't panic because of a lack of an escape plan.. which by the way constituted all of the genius of 'run!'. Try again. Why." Greed often said that he would die for what he wanted so she was damn sure it wasn't as simple as he was making it out to be.

She hoped anyways.

Greed grumbled as she poked again, sitting up again and putting his face in front of hers so that their noses were near touching. He gave her a quick kiss as if that would seal her answer. "I didn't expect you to do that." Part of it was push and pull to see her reactions. He liked that it kept him guessing but when she threw him curve balls it was a momentary stunt. If she had said know he'd have drug her with him. Without the charm, "I have no leverage with you." His fingers were in but there was more to lose.

Zoe didn't budge when he got right in her face but she scrunched up her lips and fought a smile after he kissed her, her gaze lowering for an instant. She shook her head as if to say don't try to distract me. "Is it boring for you if you don't have to hassle me into doing it?" she was genuinely curious about that. More she resisted, the more he pushed. But when she gave in willingly, it freaked him out.

She gave him a look like he had so much to learn and yet so did she, "Why do you need leverage with me?"

"I'm not used to not wiggling my fingers to get what I want," he wiggled them for emphasis but there was no force behind it. "You and Josie," his voice cracked a little at saying her name again, "its different results." Her liking him for him in the beginning before he had locked eyes was a tailspin. "I'm learning." It was a new bag of tricks. "No, I'm not bored, I'm curious. I'm not close to..." He paused. He hadn't exactly brought out Lust to Zoe, and the same applied to the reverse combination. He wanted to keep playing with this on his own without getting anyone involved. "I'm not close to many."

Zoe took his hand when his voice cracked, "Careful... someone might mistake you for human." but she said it with a soft smile. Not using mojo to get what he wanted? Blasphemy. Emotion at the name of a beloved lost one? He was more human than he thought he was.

That smile became wry when he said he wasn't close to many, "Yeah, me neither.." she stroked the back of his hand idly with her thumb, "You don't need leverage with friends." she looked at him, "I'm your friend. You have to just... trust me to want to be around you and on your side." not that she'd admit to him that trust was one of those difficult messy things that even she had a hard time with.

"Trust isn't quite in my genetic code." He paused her soft ministrations against his hand with her fingers, casting a glance across his shoulder at her with thick lidded lashes. "You're a first." A first in a lot of things. He felt like a virgin Sin all over again, learning the world under Lust's wing.

He didn't sound like he wasn't human.. he just sounded like someone who had the parts but didn't have the tools or the instruction manual to put it together. "Trust isn't in humans genetic code either. It's something we learn. Try to anyways."

She seemed thoughtful when he said she was a first and looked at him, unable to keep a smile from her face, "So are you." she quickly looked away, back at the floor, smile still in place and a blush hitting her cheeks as if he'd kissed her.

"It isn't? Virtues have it..." He pondered like she had just opened the door so wide. He wasn't sure he put trust in his siblings, they were all just as selfish as he. Lust and Glutt were his closest and he didn't put any stock in trust with them either. It fell into a Sins mood. They were vindictive assholes.

He poked her cheek with his finger. He liked seeing her flush.

Zoe chuckled a little and swatted his hand away, "You really are five.."

She shook her head, her mood souring when he brought up Virtues, "No, they don't. Freddie didn't trust me to make my own decisions. He thinks he knows what's best for me and that's not trust. Virtues, from what I've seen, aren't these shiny angelic beings. They have their own agenda and any agenda isn't a good thing. Maybe you're not exactly squeaky clean, but if Freddie is anything to go by, 'Virtues' seem to be fully capable of playing dirty." since she knew Freddie's emotional bashing of her was something he was fully aware of and wanted her to feel like shit and guilt and the whole range of crapness so she'd stop seeing Greed.

"That's always been my thought! I hate Virtues! They spoil everything." One would have to wonder if Greed didn't have some sway on her system there, he didn't, he was just damn glad she saw things his way. He leaned into her, dropping his chin on her shoulder, right in the crook of her neck. "I'm not five." She probably didn't really want to think about how old he really was.

Zoe gave Greed a look but grinned, "I don't hate them, just.. I'm not happy with the way Freddie handled things. At first he told me I should give you a chance and that the more difficult it is the more rewarding it is and then when he finds out it's you he beats me with an emotional baseball bat.." she shook her head, just not liking the way he did it. She could understand it to a point but it didn't make it any better.

She turned her head a little to look at him and smiled, "Wow. You just made this creepier than Twilight.." and she scooted away from him. Nope, she did not want to think about his actual age but him saying he was five did pop it into her head he was definitely not in his 20's.. or 50's.. or 100's... It was certainly a new take on 'robbing the cradle'..

"Wait you talked to him about me?" He grinned as if he had a cake sitting right in front of him. There was a sneaky vibe coming off in waves. "If he'd known it was me he would have followed you home that day. I wasn't lying, he found you out as soon as he knew it was me."

He reared his elbows on his knees, hands together under his chin, giving her those baby blues and lashes, as if enticing her to stay where she was. "Oh please, Edward Cullen has nothing on me. Him and that pale, skinny ass is not attractive."

Zoe hmm'd, not sure if she still believed that Freddie was following her, that was still a little extreme in her book. But she nodded, "Yesss... I talked about you to him. Sort of. I was really upset and you were being a jerk and I was thinking of giving up on you. He convinced me not to. I'm pretty sure if he knew it was you he would have told me to run. Probably bought me a plane ticket to Fiji."

She sucked in a breath through her teeth and grinned, "I know. Which is why you're worse.." cause he was attractive. Too attractive. She wrinkled her nose and made a face at him, scooting into the other corner of the sofa.

"Fiji huh?" He rubbed his chin. When she moved to the other end of the couch he gave gave her a gasped expression. "Hey now!" He sniffed his coat. It was too bad he didn't have any more pot, he'd give her a joint. He held his arms out. "Why over there?"

Zoe nodded, "Yeah! I've always wanted to go... anywhere really. I mean I moved a lot when I was a kid but just around the states. Fiji's always sounded nice, sun and surf. Or Rome, Rome would be amazing. There is so much history there.." a look of awe crossing her features as she thought about it, "Have you traveled?"

She shook her head and wrinkled her nose again, holding up a foot as if to ward him off, "You stink."

"I've been all over the place. I liked Paris." He and Lust had had fun in Paris. He sniffed his jacket again and then peeled it off now in his shirt and tie. "Better?" He scooted over, loosening his tie. He always lost his clothes around her.

Zoe looked excited, "Paris? Wow.. what's it like? It seems so ro..." she trailed off as her gaze came back to him and he was distinctly now missing an article of clothing, "..ro..robust." she finished lamely. She was going to say romantic but wanted to try to keep those thoughts out of her head.

She put her naked foot against his hip as if to keep him from coming any closer, "If I say yes will you stop stripping...?"

"Robust? I thought you were going to say something else." He grabbed her foot at the ankle. ""Pushing me away now?" He tugged her leg. "I'm not stripping. I'm getting comfortable." He'd already invited himself to stay the night. It was becoming a ritual with her roommate still gone.

Zoe shook her leg to try to get him to let go, "I was gonna say 'round'. And I'm not pushing you away... I'm keeping you at bay. There's a difference."

She grinned at him, "You said you're most comfortable when you're naked so it amounts to the same thing." she liked when he spent the night, she was ashamed that she was getting used to it and that her sleep became shitty when he wasn't there. Damn him.

She frowned a little, "Chance.. you know things will change when my roommate gets back in a few days, right?" he knew this was going to happen, didn't he? "No more popping over unexpectedly.. no more breaking in for sure.. no more 'being comfortable'.. definitely no more sleep overs."

Did she think that would stop him from seeing her? "Your roommate doesn't like entertainment?" He snorted tugging at her leg again. "She could join the party." He had no idea she lived with a girl. It just seemed logical. "Is that your way of saying you want to see my place?" He'd have to clear a path for her to slide in. It was as bad as a blind man tapping a cane.

Zoe chewed on her thumbnail, "It's not that.. trust me, seeing you in a towel wouldn't be a problem.." since Gabe liked seeing hot guys half naked as much as she did. "Just really difficult to explain who you are." she looked off to the side, "I mean.. I don't normally go around kissing and sharing my bed with just friends. It'd be different if you were my--" she turned her lips in and cut herself off, feeling heat rise up her neck, "I mean, not that I'm saying I want you to be-- or that-- what I'm trying to say is that normally people who do things.. like.. we do.. are.." she raised her gaze to the ceiling trying to dig her way out of this hole that was getting deeper, "..doing those things.. with other people.. who are.. people." she closed her eyes and waved her hands in front of her as if to just drop the whole subject, "Doesn't matter!"

She opened her eyes and gave him an incredulous look, "No. Though seeing some part of your life other than you and your car would be nice." she poked him with the foot he hadn't captured, "I think this will be good though, not spending so much time together." she hated to admit it and said in a small voice, "I'm already finding it harder to fall asleep when you're not there... that can't be a good thing." it seriously worried her. She was going to have to invest in valium whenever he'd end up leaving her.

It was adorable trying to watch her get to the point. She was blushing more than she was trying to explain. He'd never had that before, so he was undeniably inrerested. He rolled his finger like a propeller as if it would help speed her along but she kept getting tongue-tied. "Friends with benefits?" Though they weren't exactly benefiting anything, at least he wasn't. "I could dress as a girl?" He had done that before once when sneaking into a businessman's office. He had tried countless things to obtain what he wanted.

"You couldn't get through my apartment without getting lost..." He scrubbed his chin. But it was an option as long as there were no surprise visits via his siblings. "But I could manage it." He wasn't going to stop seeing her. Not for a speedbump in the shape of a roommate.

Zoe's light flush turned crimson when he suggested friends with benefits, "No!" she said horrified, she didn't do things like that. She shoved at him with her foot for suggesting it and then gave him a look, "You being a girl wouldn't change things much. It'd still present the same problem."

She was surprised when he seemed to actually be considering showing her his apartment. She backtracked and tried again, "Or.. we could just not see each other as much for awhile. Would that be such a bad thing?" she hadn't thought he'd actually show her his place..

Greed gave the face of a whining puppy. "But I don't want to not see you." His eyes got watery, and nice and wide. He may have played it up, but he was good at that. Sad child always got him what he wanted. "I like seeing you and making you flustered."

Zoe smiled a little but made a face at him, "You sure you're not five?" she put her hand on his face and pushed him away.

"As flattering as it is that you want to see me and embarrass me.. I mean. You have other things to do, right?" if she made this about him then there was a better chance he'd go for it. "You're a busy guy. And I know I've probably been eating a lot into your schedule.. of important things to do. And I mean, your apartment is your place. Your space." she frowned, "Do you really want me there? Because trust me, I know what it's like when someone comes in and takes over." she grinned a little and looked at him pointedly as she leaned in towards him, "It's not as fun as it seems." maybe he wouldn't notice she was rambling..
