Zoe looked at him with an incredulous face, "How do you fuck you up without her? You spent a lot of time with me and--" she closed her eyes, dear lord she was sounding like a jealous ex. It was Greed's choice who he slept with and spent his time with. She shook her head, "So you basically can't be without her." which was disheartening to accept and kinda painted that joined at the hip image in her mind again, "Um.. you said you didn't sleep with her all the time.. how often did you sleep with her in the past four months?" basically since they met. She looked like she dreaded the answer but wanted to know. In her mind any time he wasn't with her, he was fucking Lust.
-------
"I don't like being alone, but I like to do my own thing. I tend to wander off for long periods of time and when I wander away from Glutt and Lust for too long things go to shit. Were stronger together." Unlike the other sins they went hand in hand with one another.
Greed tapped his chin counting on his head, his face quirked in various positions as he figured up a tally. "Maybe a week outta each month. Kinda goes in spurts. She got busy, I had you," he shrugged, "so not as often. I don't just fuck her after seeing you---just sometimes it---its like I was excited. That's how---that's why after we solidified things. It wasn't to hurt you, I was just so ecstatic...we feed off each other's moods."
-------
The look on Zoe's face was less than ecstatic. A week out of a month still meant a good chunk of time and she didn't know if it was a week straight or every few days or... ugh. She kept giving him that look that was trying to accept what he was saying and just failing to like it. But she nodded and lowered her gaze, "I just... I wish you could have been ecstatic with me." he was happy so he fucked his sister? That was.. but he couldn't sleep with Zoe. She looked at him, "Would it have made a difference...? If you and me could've..." she trailed off, implying the sex part. She knew it wouldn't have. But she wanted to hear him say it. She wanted the brutal reminder that nothing would have changed the outcome and nothing would.
-------
"Zoe, that's not a fair question. You already know the answer." His voice was quiet. It had little to do with him just being a horndog. It wasn't something he could entirely express to her and she understand. "I knew you wouldn't get this. I want you to stop taking it as you being a cheap shot." That wasn't it at all. "The other sins don't need things in the way the excess do."
-------
Zoe wouldn't look at him, "I get it. You're Greed, you always want more. You have needs I can't fill. There is nothing I could have done that would have made a difference. Everything I have will never be enough." she stated it like she was reading a pamphlet 'How to date a Sin'. She shrugged, "It's why we're being friends, right?" she didn't seem thrilled about it. Because it sucked. It sucked to love someone that not only couldn't love you back but couldn't ever be satisfied with it. "Which speaking of.. I know the plan had originally been to spend New Years Eve together.. but I don't think that's a good idea." she didn't feel like talking about their failed relationship and how she wasn't good enough anymore.
-------
Greed was getting testy. He wanted to shake her, which is exactly what he did. Shook her more like a light blending than a beat down. "I want you, why isn't that enough for you?" He seemed hurt. It had nothing to DO with her not being enough. She was special to him, why couldn't she stay that way?
