WHO: Greed & Zoe w/Jonah
WHEN: Friday
WHERE: Zoe and Jonah's apartment
WHAT: Talks, painting
WARNING: Nude art


Zoe could hear a tinkering in the kitchen and crawled out of bed to go see what it was. She was a little nervous and woke up more with each step. She was in Greed's zombie t-shirt, using it as a nightie since he wasn't with her tonight as she peeked to see who was in the kitchen. She let out a breath when she saw Jonah's face, "Are you robbing us?" she asked with a smile, her eyes still sleepy as she rubbed them and padded into the kitchen fully, bare feet and legs showing.
_____________________________________
Jonah paused with the Orange juice in his hand. "I couldn't sleep." He hadn't been able to for days, weeks even, his mind still trying to sort itself out. It was more of a struggle the longer Maddy pushed through. He poured himself a glass of juice, offering her one as well. "I didn't mean to wake you."
_____________________________________
"It's okay..." she took the offered glass and said, "Thanks." she tugged on the hem of the zombie's t-shirt and had a seat at the table, "You've turned into an insomniac. Last I looked, Virtue or immortal, you're still kinda bound by human needs to function. Sleep is one of them." or to sum it up, "What's going on?"
_____________________________________
"I don't need to burden you," he waved it off, putting his attention to his glass. "I just feel like theres a lot on my mind." Ever since he'd talked to Kindness, he really wasn't sure where to go from here.
_____________________________________
She just stared at him for a few long moments and took a sip of juice, "Okay." she said like she was going to let the matter drop. Jonah had been keeping his distance from her for weeks and weeks and avoiding talking to her. "If you don't wanna talk about what's bothering you, we can talk about if you've ever had sex or not." and she gave a big smile. Since he had refused to answer when Greed had been there before.
_____________________________________
Jonah just started at her for a moment over the rim of his glass. "I'm not discussing that," it was too intimate, but it appeared that Zoe was trying to bargain with him.
_____________________________________
She covered her mouth as she let out a short laugh, "Jonah.... come on, you won't burden me with fun things and you won't burden me with real things. You know we aren't even friends anymore, we're just... people who live together." she put her hands on the table, "How about if I go first? You can ask me anything you want, and I'll answer it. I'll show you how easy it is to talk to a friend." she nodded at him, "Go on, ask." so she was bargaining some with him, she was too used to it with Greed.
_____________________________________
"I don't know what to ask." He was embarrassed, it was on his cheeks in a rosey red color. He was curious about what his feelings were for Emma, and how to handle them.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look, "Whatever pops into your head. Come on, Jonah, let's be friends." and she gave him an encouraging smile. He never talked to her anymore. It was as if he didn't trust her since she wouldn't heed his warning about Greed.
_____________________________________
Jonah had changed since the Envy fiasco. There was still something needing away at his brain. He still was not the friend he'd been in the past. He wasn't sure who he was at this stage. He was struggling to keep this form. He wasn't ready to let it go, and that was where Greed's selfishness came in. In the same way that Jonah could temper the Sin.

"How did you justify being in a relationship with a Sin verses a real boy?" He had a point to make here, but it wasn't in a reprimanding robe, it was far more curious. He was trying to make sense of his own feelings and if it was as Kindness said.
_____________________________________
She was taken aback and instantly felt her defenses go up. She was sensitive and protective when it came to her relationship with Greed and she knew Jonah was not an advocate for it. Still, she kept calm, took a moment and then slowly said, "I... I'm not sure what you mean?" she wanted him to elaborate because right now it sounded really wrong.
_____________________________________
"Since Virtues and Sins alike don't usually partake in things like relationships built off love and intimacy. I just wonder when did you reach a point where you decided to have a relationship with someone who really isn't considered normal?"
_____________________________________
She was still kinda stunned and wanted to tell him if he was doing this to lecture her she was going to be so mad... but she rubbed her lips together, thinking about it. She decided to trust him not to bash her with her words so said, "Um.... it's complicated. A lot of stuff led up to reaching that point... " she closed her mouth and gave him a quizzical look, "Are you sure you want to hear this?"
_____________________________________
Jonah nodded in acceptance of what he was about to hear, though ultimately he might regret asking. "Go ahead." Someone needed to help him out.
_____________________________________
She took a deep breath, "Okay... well," some of this she'd already told him but she had a feeling he kinda didn't listen, so she was going to say it again, "When he told me he was a Sin, I had a hard time with it at first but I was really curious and he kept saying over and over again he didn't do relationships. He was really clear about it so I didn't think of being in a relationship with him." she twisted her fingers together, "And then one day... he wanted me to be his girlfriend and it scared me." she paused and looked at him, "Jonah... I want you to know it didn't scare me because he was a Sin. It scared me that he wanted a relationship. We lasted ten days the first time."
_____________________________________
"Ten days?" He hasn't really listened before because in Jonah's head this was wrong. Now the shoe was on the other foot and he needed some clarity.
_____________________________________
She cleared her throat, "Well... he got me to agree to a relationship but he didn't fully understand what it meant. He admitted he did something and it really hurt me and we broke up. And..." she made a winced face, not knowing how to approach the fact he hired someone to attack her... maybe she should skip over that part, "...um... a couple of months went by and he was trying to get me back but I just couldn't be with him. We decided to be friends and he had a hard time when I got a new boyfriend... but Chance... it was never really about his Sin, Jonah. When he and I were friends, I still felt so strongly for him and dating a 'real boy' just made me realize how much I loved Chance. Sin and all. So yes, he's weird and most people can't accept him or us but the point I decided I wanted a relationship with him was when I realized that I didn't want to be without him. Even if it wasn't the ideal relationship... it was something." her voice getting quiet in the end and very sad. She wouldn't get things with Greed she could with a normal boy. No marriage, no home, no kids, no growing old together.
_____________________________________
"And what if he hadn't been a Sin, do you think that plays a role in you being together." He wanted to hit himself for asking these things. It felt wrong. Even if Kindness hadn't said as much, was he unclean for thinking about loving someone?
_____________________________________
She sighed and put her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands, "I don't know. If he was a real boy... we could live together, get married... have kids... but you know... he wouldn't be who he is. And that's who I fell in love with. So I could have all those things but it still wouldn't be with him, so what's the point?"
_____________________________________
"And if he'd been one of us? Or are you saying it's because he's Greed that you work?" His questions now pooped up like daisies.
_____________________________________
She frowned, "One of you? A Virtue? I don't know, Jonah. I don't really care about that. If he'd been a myth or a god or a Virtue, I don't think it'd have mattered. I love him. Who he is, not what he is. But yes, because he is Greed, he has qualities that benefit our relationship and make it work."
_____________________________________
"How does it benefit? I'm asking because...." There's someone I like. But Jonah's thoughts were interrupted the moment Greed banged on the door.

It was 1 am. What was that loon doing?
_____________________________________
Zoe tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Well, because it makes him persistent and he--" she turned her towards the front door and stood up with a frown, "Who on earth is banging on our door at this time of night..." and she walked over to it to answer it (after checking to see who it was of course). Jonah could sense Greed but Zoe couldn't.
_____________________________________
"Open up twinkle toes." Greed was ready to get started, while it was still dark. He had his hands full of bags with paint and a black light. He was going to make his girlfriend glow!
_____________________________________
Zoe's face lit up when she heard Greed's voice and she opened the door to reveal him with bags and junk. She stopped short and her mouth opened in surprise, "You went on a shopping spree at 1am?" she moved to let him in so he could put down all his stuff and give her a kiss, she was happy to see him, "This is wild, we were just talking about you too."
_____________________________________
Greed paused, his arm loaded down with plastic bags he'd gotten from an adult shop. They were open a little later. "Talking about me? What about, how handsome I am?" He came inside catching a glimpse of Jonah in the kitchen. "Oh my god you look like shit." It made him giggle.
_____________________________________
She smacked his chest lightly at his insult to Jonah and she kissed Greed's cheek and took his arm to drag him towards the kitchen, "Nooooo... talking about you and me and how you managed to finally get me into a relationship with you among other things."
_____________________________________
Oh god why was she filling the Virtue up with information? "Don't do that, he'll use it against me later! That's how those things work!" As if Jonah was not the human being that was living with his girlfriend. He was beneficial to Greed, but he didn't need his head filled with all kinds of things to plan a surprise attack later!
_____________________________________
She sighed, "How is he going to use it against you? For the first time he's actually listening. He wanted to know why I decided to be with you and I told him it was because I love you so much." she kissed his cheek again, "I was gonna tell about how you being a Sin actually helps our relationship and-- oh, maybe you can tell him." she lowered her voice, "And you can tell him about how your Sin loves me now too." and she grinned cutely at him while poking him in the stomach.
_____________________________________
Greed's lip tightened as she continued to bring up personal stuff. He looked at Jonah with a dearth glare. "Why do you want know so much?" Jonah was too curious, Greed was suspicious. "I don't trust you big head."

"Greed you can get off your high horse. I'm not ploting against you."
_____________________________________
Zoe nodded, "I don't think so either, if he was, he'd have made his move by now." and she gave Greed a look. They'd grossed Jonah out a lot with their bedroom romps. If he wanted to get rid of Greed, he'd have done it before now. Then she had a thought and smiled at Jonah, "Did you meet someone?" that would be amazing.
_____________________________________
Greed wasn't completely convinced, he wasn't going to let Jonah off the hook just yet. But when Zoe asked that question, he was all ears. "Ooooh, are you finally gonna get your cherry popped?"
_____________________________________
Zoe smacked Greed lightly again and looked back at Jonah with a gentle smile, "Is that why you're so interested in our relationship...? Because you met a mortal girl you're interested in?"
_____________________________________
"I may have met someone." But with Greed there he was not comfortable. Jonah had become the third wheel with the Sin laughing at him. As he put his empty glass in the sink, Jonah was ready to a vacate.
_____________________________________
Zoe looked super excited and even bounced a bit, "Oh Jonah, that's so exciting!" his maybe was as good as Zoe hearing a parade announcing yes he had a crush. She felt full speed ahead saying, "I mean mortal immortal relationships especially between religious.. you guys," she pointed between the boys,"..and girls can be really complicated but it is soooo worth it." she looked at Greed, "Right?" this was one of those boyfriend moments where the boyfriend better agree or end up sleeping on the couch.
_____________________________________
She was practically squeezing stars and glitter with her excitement. Greed was jealous. When she smiled he frowned. He agreed reluctant to be as bouncy as she was. "Maybe now you'll get a Virtue orgasm." Jonah waved off Greed's blatant rudeness.

"Please be respectful Greed. Not everything is about sex. People could have meanings relationships without it." Jonah's mind was not in the gutter like Greed's 24-7. "She just needs a friend right now after Envy." He realized then he hadn't meant to slip. Greed wiggled his brows curiously. "You tangled with Envy?" His burger was just hitting them all in a domino effect.
_____________________________________
Zoe frowned, "Jonah, you keep forgetting when you try to insult Greed's relationship, I'm his girlfriend, you insult me too." and their relationship was way more than about sex. They couldn't even have sex for a long time. Her frown deepened as he slipped up, "Envy? When did you cross paths with him?" the only knowledge they had of Envy was that he messed with her and sliced up her clothes. Jonah was on very thin ice.
_____________________________________
"I meant no insult Zoe," but she couldn't deny that her and Greed were constantly together in a more physical nature. "It's nothing, I'm tired and don't know what I'm talking about." Jonah could shy away from when others were feeling pressures, but with himself he was like a turtle, which was a clear sign Envy was still affecting him in some way.
_____________________________________
Zoe let Jonah back off from the subject because as far as she knew there was only one girl that Envy messed with. It was herself. And being the object of Jonah's affections was something she found most uncomfortable. She moved closer to Greed and raised a brow as she got a peek in the bag, "Are you graffiting?" she asked in a hushed voice.
_____________________________________
"Her name is Emma and Envy took her to get to me." There he said it. He could tell by Zoe's distance that she was uncomfortable.

Greed's attention was to his paint. His bags and bags of paint! "Glow in the dark!" She'd know.
_____________________________________
She heard Greed but was kinda stunned and felt so guilty when Jonah said it was some random girl. "Oh. Jonah... I'm so sorry." assuming that it was because Envy had been harassing her that he harassed Jonah too because the man lived with her, not the other way around. She put her head on Greed's arm and said to him, "Look, if you like this girl... tell her. Ask her out on a date. Just... be honest with her."
_____________________________________
Clearly they were still talking about Jonah's wet dream. Greed was not happy. This was supposed to be about his fingerprinting work of art, not Virtue love problems.

Jonah shook his head not really convinced. "It might scare her. I dont feel allowed to ask such things." Greed rolled his eyes. Jonah was boring even when he was stressed.
_____________________________________
She made a face, "Well that's just ridiculous." she put a hand on Greed's chest, "Everyone told us we weren't allowed to date but from what I can see, there is no exact written rule about it and... well.. why the hell not. You don't know if it will scare her or not but if you aren't honest, then you have no hope for anything." she rubbed her lips together, still feeling so incredibly bad that this all happened because her boyfriend's brother wanted to have fun. "How about... you bring her here? For dinner. Or! A lunch on the weekend. Lunch is during the day, it's more casual and comfortable."
_____________________________________
"So you're saying I should pursue her?" It wasn't exactly what Kindness had suggested. Kindness hadn't said no, but he feared getting too involved.

Greed just dropped his arms, hanging limp at his sides while Jonah acted like the perfectly dazed and boring Virtue he was. Greed was already entirely to bored. How could he focus when Zoe had her attention on a piece of stale bread? He should just strip her down to her bra and undies and start painting his masterpiece right there. Then Jonah would definitely leave the room.
_____________________________________
She gave Jonah a look like he was crazy and threw up her hands, "Of course!!" she smiled enthusiastically, "You won't get anywhere unless you try. You should hang out with her, feel her out, see what she says to a date." she knew Greed was getting impatient but she felt so bad for Jonah getting Envy's residue that if something good could come of it, she was going to make it happen.
_____________________________________
"A date?" He seemed a little terrified, like he'd never had one of those. He wouldn't even know where to start. A dinner though could be doable at the apartment. "I dont know how comfortable she'd be if I asked her over here for dinner."

Greed there a box of lightweight paint at Jonah's head. This was ridiculous. "Just wear a g-string and I'm sure she'll come over right away.
_____________________________________
She wouldn't let him squirm out of it, "Then ask her over for lunch and I can scoot out with a made up emergency before we eat." she smacked Greed's stomach lightly with the back of her hand for his useless advice, "I'll even cook, it's the least I can do. All you have to do is call her."
_____________________________________
"Let me think about it." He picked up the box Greed had thrown at his head and turned it over to read. "Body pai---?" It was quickly jerked out of his hand and shoved back into the bag.

"That's not yours!" Greed pointed his finger and slung the whole bag against Jonah's arm. He was being the jealous prick until Samson came out of Jonah's room and grabbed the bag, abs worth a rip off his teeth let all the paint cans and boxes onto the floor.
_____________________________________
Zoe accepted Jonah's answer and picked up the pup who wriggled and growled, wanting to play and undoubtedly kicked in the head by Greed if he messed up his shit anymore. She moved the pup away and picked up the fallen paint, "Why-- oh." her question stopped as she remembered what Greed had said he wanted to do, "You were serious?" she laughed.
_____________________________________
Greed started to frantically pick up the boxes, sure that Jonah and the pup were working together to destroy his plans. "Did you really think I wasn't?" Greed said looking up at Zoe, which he could see clearly from his angle the color of her undies.
_____________________________________
"I was hoping you weren't!" she said as she put what she collected on the table, a little embarrassed as if Jonah knew what it was for. She caught Greed staring at her undies and shoved him lightly.
_____________________________________
"Why would I ever be joking about something like that?" He smacked at her leg, drawing only the smallest highlight of red to the surface. Jonah just handed Zoe the boxes that Greed had missed which had been flung across the kitchen. "Do I really want to ask?" The Virtue asked hesitantly.
_____________________________________
Zoe jumped up at the smack and kicked his leg. She was pink in the face when Jonah handed her the boxes, jesus... there was enough here for Greed to paint her several times and himself too. She didn't even want to think about it. But her face turned red when Jonah asked if he wanted to know, "No!" she said quickly and shook her head.
_____________________________________
"Could you at least keep it down since it is one in the morning? Better yet, I'll take Samson for a walk." That way maybe he could skip the start of whatever was going to go on here. Jonah posted his legs to attract the pup so he could grab his harness and leash. With the look Greed was giving him he needed a breather already.
_____________________________________
He sounded almost like a mom but she only nodded, "We will. Sorry. Thanks! And keep the date in mind." she picked up the boxes and bumped her hip against Greed. She cocked her head towards her room, they'd discuss this in private.
_____________________________________
Greed's arms were full of paint as he stood abs shuffled his way to the bedroom, dropping it all on her bed. He clapped his hands together, his grin excited. It was time for art class!
_____________________________________
She put the boxes in her arms down too and then eyed him, "You got that look in your eye..." she said slowly and backed up from him in her t-shirt nightie. He looked like he was about to do something naughty.
_____________________________________
"You going to take off your shirt?" How could he paint when she still had clothes on? He supposed he could start with her legs but he was too excited to start with everything else. The fun parts of her.
_____________________________________
She wrinkled her nose, it was actually his shirt but she didn't say it. "Can we talk about this first....?" and she held her hands up in front of her as she looked at all the paint. It looked like he was gonna turn her into a nightlight.
_____________________________________
"What do we need to talk about? It's paint. It'll wash off." He had every neon color under the sun, his blacklight (or about five) to turn on after his masterpiece was done. There was nothing to talk about, this was going to be a fun experiment!
_____________________________________
He was looked cute and crazy when he got excited, "Ehhhhh.... okay. BUT I get to put paint on you too then." she said as she still didn't move towards him, this was very very different.
_____________________________________
"But I don't have the constellations on my body. There's no point." But she could go just as wild and crazy, Greed just wanted the selfish route of doing this to her. He didn't need the paint on anywhere else but his fingers.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look and tilted her head, "So? I can draw stuff on you still. You always say you like when I trace your arms with invisible paint, now it can be real paint." she gave him big brown puppy dog eyes. If he said yes to her doing it to him, the sooner he could do it to her.
_____________________________________
"Like what?" He posed his hands on his hips like a drama queen. Surely she wasn't an artist. He'd never seen her doodle. He didn't want to look like a human caterpillar with streaks all down his face. He was planning on a Van Gogh Starry Night here....
_____________________________________
"Like.... you promised you'd give me art lessons. I think thisssss..." and she moved forward and put her hands on his stomach at his shirt, "...would make a damn fine canvas to learn on." sliding her hands through the loops his arms created and going around his tiny waist.
_____________________________________
He gritted his teeth. "I wanna go first!" This was not a negotiation! She did however stroke his ego. He was a piece of art, a piece of sculpture come to life. He contemplated a moment with the thought of her fingers gliding all over him. Maybe it wasn't so bad an idea...
_____________________________________
She let her head fall back with an ugh, "Yes yes, you first." she dropped her arms from around him and smacked his chest a few times, "Suck the romance out of everything..." but she said it with a small laugh cause of course he had to be a five year old about it.
_____________________________________
He smiled giddily worth a cackle. "Okay. So, you gotta get naked!" He world take off his shirt too because he wasn't ruining it with paint. Maybe it would give her incentive. He knew how shy she could still be.
_____________________________________
She shoved him lightly, "Romeo you are not." she rubbed her arm, way too self conscious. "Can we... turn the lights off? Just use the lanterns?" she asked as he shed his shirt. She still couldn't get naked without coaxing sometimes.
_____________________________________
"I know it's glow in the dark but I gotta paint with lights on first." Light was always key in art, he knew that. Even if it was using his girlfriend body as a canvas. He curled her against him. "I can touch every part of you during sex and you still won't just let me see?"
_____________________________________
She had a shy smile on her lips and lowered her lashes as he talked. She put a hand on his bare abs and said, "That's... different. That's.." she flopped her hand around, "You know." she bit her bottom lip and looked at him, "You're just gonna work on my back, right?"
_____________________________________
"You have freckles everywhere...why should I just stick with your back. There's all the fun stuff up front." He wanted her to get out of this mentality that he could touch but not look.
_____________________________________
She made a face, "How about my back first and then it's my turn and then your turn again?" she was trying to get out of being naked in the light. They weren't sexing... it was just... staring. It was weird. None of her other boyfriends wanted to just... look.
_____________________________________
"So why is it I can touch and not look? Explain? Because simetimes I like to look at my goods..." she needed to get with the program already. "Because I don't care what you say, I'm going to see what I always get to feel up."
_____________________________________
She said in an exasperated voice, "I don't know! Because.. because people don't just look. It's.. I don't know. No one's ever just looked. It's weird." she raised a finger, "And it's not like you haven't seen my body, you have." he was acting like he'd only touched and not looked. "You've seen a lot of it. Sometimes when I'm not even awake." she wasn't stupid, she knew he inspected her when she was sleeping sometimes.
_____________________________________
"Well right now I want to see you with your full attention." He crossed the space between them and just took matters into his own hands. Shirt was coming off.
_____________________________________
She started to protest and squeaked when the shirt came off and she was left in her undies. She instinctively covered her chest with one arm and shoved him with the other, "There, you ready yet Picasso?" trying to get his attention on the paint and not her naked body for staring.
_____________________________________
Greed took hold off her arm trying to drag it from chest. "Your cookies are meant for me. So stop trying to hide them." Zoe was not being the most cooperative of models.
_____________________________________
She squirmed, "You aren't painting my cookies, you wanted to paint my back!" she turned red when he managed to expose her.
_____________________________________
"Oh I'm painting all of you. Cookies included!" Finally he could see the goods without her blocking. "The body is meant to be enjoyed..." and he wanted to get a good eye full before he started the Sistine Chapel on her belly.
_____________________________________
She moved this way and that, very uncomfortable. She shook out her hair, it was long enough to cover part of her boobs, "Enjoyed, not stared at!" she covered her face with one hand and then peeked through her fingers at him. She smacked him, "Why're you looking at me like that, you've seen it all before!" he looked like he might take a bite out of her.
_____________________________________
"Why can't I stare?" Clearly she had been made just for him oogle. "I've seen but now I get to take my time and savor you." She had taught him that hadn't she?
_____________________________________
"I don't know... what if you see something weird or you don't like?" she was still fidgeting. But she was concerned, he'd seen hundreds of naked girls and Zoe's body wasn't all super model shape, "My body isn't perfect like yours." Greed was designed to look amazing without clothes, but Zoe was human, she had flaws.
_____________________________________
"I like your squishy bits." The same way she didn't mind his while Lust liked the rock hard Greek God. To Greed Zoe wasn't flawless, but he wouldn't change her. It was what attracted him to her, that in so many ways she wasn't like him. It was what was so magnetizing. "You afraid I'm going to find something new, a freckle out of place that you don't want me to find?" Newsflash for Zoe, he was going to find EVERYTHING and probably still be surprised.
_____________________________________
She laughed out of embarrassment and nerves, "No.. I don't know.. it's just WEIRD!" she shoved him again, "I'm not the type to put my squishy bits on display. It seems so.... open and weird." she repeated the word cause that's how it felt. She just prayed he'd start his art project soon and stop talking about it. But then she asked him, "Why do you want to look so close?"
_____________________________________
"Am I not allowed? These are my goods, I like to involve myself with what I own." Yes it sounded possessive, she was used to his choice of words. "Especially when it's in the shape of a beautiful woman." He tugged her close, smashing those squishy bits against him before he dove into his painting masterpiece.
_____________________________________
"You've been involved with me for almost two years... you wouldn't let me be not involved with you." and she smacked him again lightly." she blushed at his compliment, "Yeah... but the way you look at me is like..." she didn't finish, wriggling under the touch of cold paint.
_____________________________________
He was sure to give her a tantalizing kiss so her nerves weren't shot. He kept his mouth on hers in between coating his fingers in paint, a small string of kisses some on her mouth, some down her neck as he glided his fingers across her belly. Sensually. Greed was going to make this sexy.
_____________________________________
Her arms were around his neck as she got lost in his kiss. Jonah wasn't home so they couldn't do anything too steamy but that was good, it kept them focused on his art project. She giggled when his fingertips went along her tummy, it tickled and made her skin quiver. "You almost make me believe it.." she murmured her thoughts out loud.
_____________________________________
"Believe what?" he asked with a little snake of his tongue under her top lip, skirting against her gorgeous teeth. He held her waist between his hands washing the paint against the small of her back and down her ass cheeks.
_____________________________________
She grinned when he teased her teeth, her arms untangling and her hands dipping into the waistband of his pants so she had something to hold on to, "That I'm the most beautiful girl in the world..." at least to him and that was all that mattered. She used to think he made all the girls feel that way and while he knew how to charm girls, with her, he was his most charming when he didn't even realize it.
_____________________________________
"Maybe that's what I see." His kiss turned into a satisfied grin as her hands dipped into his waistband. With a little more paint he started applying it up her back and across her collarbone. Next were her cookies, that he was bound and determined to get her comfortable with. She needed to learn they were assets, not just showgirls, and he loved fondling them very, very much.
_____________________________________
She lit up at that, just a smile that wouldn't quit on her lips as she dipped her head. She didn't have words to respond with. Her boyfriend, who was a fox, saw her as the most beautiful girl in the world. And she didn't ask if Lust was included in the world, she felt like the woman was. Because the past few months he'd started to choose Zoe over Lust. Even tho she didn't have the perfect body or the flawless anything. She was still turning red when he played with her chest and she yanked on his waistband, "I'm gonna paint 'jerk' right above your beef."
_____________________________________
"You are gorgeous and all mine." He picked up some yellow and grown paint and started to recreate Van Gogh's starry wonder. One of her perky cookies was the biggest star in the blue sky....and every little freckle another one to match so when the lights were out she would shine.

They hadn't realized Jonah has come back from his walk. The door to Zoe's room was slightly cracked. When he passed by to take Samson to his room he caught a glimpse and quickly turned his head away, but he had not moved from the door.
_____________________________________
She beamed as he called her gorgeous and she bit his nose playfully in response. She still wasn't used to compliments. She still squirmed some every now and then and raised her brows as she looked down, "I thought you were gonna paint the constellations on my back?" this was not her back. She unbuttoned his pants and then paused, unsure if she should take them off.
_____________________________________
"I'm working to that. Let me do this my way, then you can complain." He continued adding little starlets to her shoulders while she was at a crossroads of what to do with his jeans. Jonah knew better than to look, but something made him not able to help himself at one more glance. Hopefully neither of them would notice. He had expected to see paint all over the floor. He hadn't really expected to see Zoe with her most prominent features out on display. Jonah felt bad seeing nude mannequins in a department store, this was his roommate, the girl he'd had a crush on months ago until he'd met Emma. He quickly snapped his head away and back to the room with Samson where he would stick his nose into a long, boring book about mathematics.
_____________________________________
"Can't I complain while you do it? It'll save so much time." she teased. She still hesitated on his pants but when she heard the tinkle of Samson's tags on his collar she let out a breath of relief and pushed Greed's pants down along with his boxers so he was as naked as she was.
_____________________________________
When Greed started to get naked Jonah made a quick dash back to his room. He'd had enough. Samson wanted to nose his way into the room, but Jonah called him away. There was already too much skin for visible for him to be comfortable with and he really needed to erase it from his memory.

Greed in the meantime started to decorate her from head to toe, back included. Her legs were dark so that when the lights went out all that could be seen would be her star patterned back and the homage to an old master on the front. He'd definitely have to get pictures of this. He couldn't wait to turn the lights off, though his fingers were already coated in paint. It was a wonder he hadn't splattered it all over the floor yet, like a typical five year old.
_____________________________________
She'd turn her head this way and that to watch him work. It was adorable how serious and into it he was. "You know.. I just realized I can't cuddle or kiss you while I got paint all over me or it'll smear your work and you'll throw a tantrum." she had no idea Jonah had been peeping on them and it was a good thing or she'd freak out. She was much calmer about being naked with Greed now. She dipped a finger in some of the paint and doodle on his arm.
_____________________________________
"You can when it's dry and I've taken a million pictures." Did she think he wasn't prepared? "I said I'm first," and he slapped her hand softly with a disgruntled gripe. He was still working! "I'm not done yet." Though at this point he'd been painting for at least an hour.
_____________________________________
"Whoa, no pictures--Ow!" she took her hand back and waved it even tho it didn't hurt. "Rude." she dipped her finger in paint again, "But you've been at it forever.... and do you really expect me to keep lookin at you without touching....?" she slid the paint down one of his asscheeks.
_____________________________________
"No one will be able to see you for the paint---hey!" He swipped a line of blue paint down her nose. He laughed at the fact she'd just use his own words against him. Clever girl.
_____________________________________
She grinned and wrinkled her nose as he made it blue. She was good at throwing things back at him (good and bad). "What're you gonna do with pictures?" she dipped two fingers in the paint and hovered it over his collarbone as if to tease she'd paint him again.
_____________________________________
"I'm going to hang them up like people are supposed to do with pictures." It was his own clever way around their little dilemma. Greed could proudly show it off without suspicion from the outsiders. "Don't you dare," he threatened her while smearing her cheeks in blue to match her button nose.
_____________________________________
She blinked in surprise, "Hang them up? Where?" she rested her arms along the wrists on his shoulders, getting some paint on him in the process. He was taking this much much further than she thought he would.
_____________________________________
"In my apartment." Why was this so difficult for her to understand. "Right over the bed." He was always interested in newer art art. This was both sexy, new and of his possession. What better way to shore it off?
_____________________________________
Her mouth dropped open and she just stared at him for a good long minute before she shook her head to clear it, "You want a picture of me covered in paint you art-ed on my body above your bed?" it was a gigantic compliment.
_____________________________________
"Am I not allowed? I'm a pretty bang up artist." She didn't agree? He added a few more bright dots on her cheeks. He was done. Time for the light show!
_____________________________________
She blinked again, "I... I mean no, I mean yes. I mean, that's kinda.. that's huge." she shook her head, "Can't you teach me to paint you? And you can be in the picture with me?" she rather have that than naked in a photo alone.
_____________________________________
"It will be huge!" He motioned his hands out towards the size he was thinking. "It'll be fucking awesome!" He wasn't even answering her question. He was already along his hands off to take photos.
_____________________________________
Her eyes went wide, "I didn't mean huge like-- wait, how big is this photo going to be??" she had thought something small but then she grabbed his hand to make him stop, "Chance, I can't do this unless you do it with me." she was getting nervous all over again. She knew that he didn't let anyone in his apartment cept her (not even his siblings) but still... it was weird thinking of sleeping under a giant nude of herself every time she was at his place.
_____________________________________
"Like a 30 by 40. Big enough to take the place of the one up there now...I just wanna be able to see the constellations when you're not with me. It'll be sexy." Why'd she sounds so nervous? It was going to be awesome. He started taking pictures still with the lights on, but then he plugged in the black lights. Now it was going to look even better.
_____________________________________
"30 x 40?? Are you nuts!?" That was gigantic. She yelped and turned her back when he started taking pictures in the light, "Hey! I don't want you taking nudes!!" he was bulldozing ahead like he normally did when he was excited and she still said in an exasperated whine as they were plunged into darkness, "I'm rarely ever not with you! You don't need it!"
_____________________________________
"Yep, I am. It's gonna be fucking perfect." He couldn't see her except for the bright colored starlets on her back, in various shades of yellow, green, pink and white. It was the universe on her fucking back!
_____________________________________
She kept turning when he moved and trying to look over her shoulder at him, "Chance!" she said again tho she wasn't here anymore, she was his artwork and he was too busy admiring it. She sighed and held up her hands to mess up his next shot, "Chance, come on, listen to me!"
_____________________________________
"Zoe come on stop ruining my shots!" He glowed, his teeth even whiter than normal with the black light. "Why are you being so difficult over this?"
_____________________________________
She stood in a way that was not flattering to his art and said, "Because you won't talk to me about it. This went from painting the constellations to making me an art project to a photography project to now I'm gonna be hanging up in your room. Just... give me a minute to catch up." her voice was softer because she didn't like it when she couldn't keep up with him but she wanted to try. Sometimes, just like his physical self, his brain went WAY faster than she could process.
_____________________________________
"Okay so catch up." Greed had her on a hamster wheel without a moment to catch her breath, she was just spinning along with him. He knew the agenda but had failed to keep her informed. "What are you worried about?" They couldn't even have playtime without a jerk in the road. In her defense he had taken this from paint by numbers to art on his wall.
_____________________________________
She gave him a look, unhappy that he didn't get it. She put her hands on his cheeks and said, "Breathe. And let me breathe. Walk me through your thought process and how this went from a coloring book to a massive art installation on your wall." she felt so left behind.
_____________________________________
"It's a way to get around this pesky business of not having pictures of you displayed like a normal boyfriend. No way anyone in hell is going to know that's you but me." And yet it would be art, something that would look fanfuckingtastic over his bed.
_____________________________________
She was kinda touched that he wanted to be a normal boyfriend, have pictures of her. "Okay... but you never let people in your home anyway. But I guess... it would be safer this way." she rubbed her nose against his, smearing the glowing paint on his face, "How come you don't want one of us together?" normally he was all about wanting to be included.
_____________________________________
"I could but I wanna show off my girl and my art." He shrugged not really seeing why it was such a bad thing. It was part off being a possession of Greed's.
_____________________________________
She smiled and kissed him briefly, "It'd be hanging in your bedroom... who would you be showing it off to, Avaritia?" she asked kinda amused. She was still floored he wanted it, it was overwhelming how much he thought she was beautiful.
_____________________________________
"To me, myself, and I." It was a little unhealthy, unintentional maybe to drag her through this and make her do it, but he had the best intentions. "I tell you what. You can take a picture of me and it'll go in the bathroom."
_____________________________________
She let out a breath, "Naked couple portraits is not what I thought would be happening at 1 int he morning tonight." but that was life with Greed, full of surprises. She still seemed unsure about everything and said, "Okay.... but we will discuss this more before you get anything developed." that was as far as she was willling to go as far as 'agreeing'.
_____________________________________
"Alright alright. Deal." He kissed her now blue lips. "Now can get back to taking pictures? Then you can go all out on your canvas." He smacked his bare chest with his hands.
_____________________________________
She was pleased that he agreed to it and didn't whine or complain and try to railroad her into it. It made her more open to eventually agreeing. She laughed, "Yes, go on and take your pictures so I can have my turn."
_____________________________________
Eventually Greed handed over the reigns abs let Zoe coat him in paint, camera ready. They looked silly in just glowing paint in the dark. Jonah got another glimpse when he got up hours later to the restroom.
_____________________________________
Zoe couldn't do the masterpiece that Greed did but she did get to run her hands over his body. She put her handprints on his butt and took a picture of that but she did a starburst of colors on his front like exploding galaxies. She was writing JERK on his abdomen when Jonah got another peek at them. She was still naked and laughed at how ridiculous they looked, "You know, I thought you hated getting messy." and she wrote the R.
_____________________________________
He shivered as her fingers glided across his skin, making his abs snake in the opposite direction from the cold of the paint. He wasn't a fan of getting dirty, but he also wouldn't be able to blow up a print of her as quite like this again. "I don't like getting dirty, it makes my skin crawl." He wiggled again just as she wrote the letter K.
_____________________________________
She kissed his neck as her hands grabbed his butt so it had a stamp of her possessiveness on his behind and she smooched his lips, "But you're getting dirty with me...." she pointed out. "How come?" she didn't mind getting messy and she was surprised but then again, she'd never gotten dirty with anyone else before so she'd never known if she'd like it or not.
_____________________________________
Jonah didn't stick around the second time. There was a lot of nakedness still only neon. So he bolted back to his room to wash away the images he was seeing. Greed grinned maniacally, all she could see were bright pearly whites just like the Cheshire cat. "So that I get to put your starry ass up on my wall."
_____________________________________
She turned pink under the paint but the darkness covered it, "Ah, so I should take advantage while I can.." she smooched his lips, "AND I didn't agree to it yet. I agreed to let you develop the pictures. Which.. where would you get that done? Unless you don't mind some random guy seeing them." she took paint and his hand, outlining the dove tattoo for her on his wrist in it before reapplying some paint to her lips (just a little) and then pressing a kiss to the middle of the tattoo where the bird's heart would have been, leaving a very faint glow of a kiss in the shape of her lips on his skin.
_____________________________________
"Oh they'll get developed. I'll jump back in the photo print place and do it myself. All I need is a nametag and the right polo and they'll think I'll work there." He was way ahead of her.

She had basically painted all his tattoos. Except one.
_____________________________________
She laughed, "Great, tell me when you're doing that so I can get bail money ready on standby." she slipped behind him and kissed the nape of his neck and then he'd feel the paint on his back in loops and curls and she was tracing the skull tattoo in paint so it'd glow on his skin. She had an idea for what she wanted this picture to look like.
_____________________________________
"They won't arrest me." His skin tingled under those sweet, wet kisses. "What are you doing?" All he could feel was the slip abs slide of paint.
_____________________________________
"Shhhh!" she said next to his ear, "I'm working on my masterpiece!" totally mimicking how he had been with her earlier. And she nipped his shoulder as she went back to work. She picked something up off the dresser and dipped it in a different color and went back to the skull tattoo, "Almost done... put your tattooed hand behind your back." she needed to pose him for her picture.
_____________________________________
He contorted in various poses, trying to peek at her handiwork but never really being able to see. So after being a child about it he did as she had asked while she had the camera in hand. He was the starlet, she was his director.
_____________________________________
She smacked his hip, "Stop trying to peek, you aren't that bendy." she moved his wrist so it rested on his lower back, turning it so the tattoo glowed and her kiss print also was faintly visible on it. She moved back and took a few pictures, his face slightly in profile cause he couldn't stop peeking, his skull tattoo glowing, the word AVA glowing in a separate color with lower being the paint of the wrist and even lower her possessive handprints on his naked butt. "Now this is something I'd love to have framed." she said with a grin as she checked out the photos on the camera she took.
_____________________________________
He flexed his ass cheeks just to make her giggle, so the painted finger prints moved with his perfectly toned muscles. "Are you done yet?" He already wanted to get this stuff off his skin. It was starting to itch.
_____________________________________
She did indeed giggle, "If I say yes does that mean you're gonna go running for the bathroom?" and she put her arm around him from behind and taking a surprise picture with her other hand. It was one they couldn't really keep but it was both of them, with her nose resting against his neck and one eye peeking over his shoulder with a hint of her lips. The paint on her face and his (from her kisses and pokes) was glowing. She handed him the camera so he could see the selfie of the two of them in the aftermath of their art project.
_____________________________________
He didn't let her pull away after playing cameramen. He snuggled her with her arms wrapped around his waist. He flipped through the images. "I really do have a nice ass." He scrolled back to the picture of them which was creatively the perfect portrait for him to keep.
_____________________________________
She smiled when he didn't let her move away and was content to keep her arms around him as she watched him look at the pictures, "It's cause you're such an ass." she grinned and kissed his ear. She saw him linger on the photo of them and commented, "We're all dirty in it..." he didn't like things dirty.. but he was looking at it in such way..
_____________________________________
"It's not dirt. It's paint." There was a difference in arts and crafts and dirt. This was creative, not making mud pies.
_____________________________________
"Ahhh.. so what if we rolled around in a big mud pit?" she grinned cause she knew he hated not being clean." she nuzzled his ear, "All that dirt and slop just rubbed alllll over you..." and she rubbed her hands up and down his abs.
_____________________________________
"I'm not a pig. That's Glutt's area of expertise." He shivered. The thought of be covered in red mud was absolutely horrible. Her touch was far from it. He purred in response.
_____________________________________
"No, you're just an ass." and she kissed his neck again and squeezed him. She looked back at the picture, "You know, I wonder what the guys and girls at your office would say if you had that on your desk like a normal... well not so normal.. boyfriend." it was shoulders up and she was partly hidden behind Greed and it was dark and the main attraction was the glowing paint.
_____________________________________
"What my ass?" He was completely confused. Where they still on the topic of his sexy assets?
_____________________________________
She moved out from behind him so she could be in the crook of his arm, slapping his butt as she said, "No you doof... us." and she moved the camera so the screen showed the shot of them.
_____________________________________
"I think they'll want to break out the glow sticks and raver shoes." It was an art project come to life, completely naked as he preferred to be, and yet sex was not part of it. Greed had learned that what he adored the most was just her.
_____________________________________
"I think they'll hope one day to be in a relationship like ours." and she leaned up to kiss his cheek.
_____________________________________
"Or they'll just be jealous that they don't have it. Or me. I'm the hot ticket." He kissed her back, arms wrapped around her middle. "I'm a sexy glow worm." He leaned his head down to talk into her ear. "But you? You're the butterfly." She had sprouted wings and flown.
_____________________________________
She laughed, "Yes, they're all jealous they don't have you." she dipped her head, feeling warm with his complimentary words. She couldn't stop smiling as she found his eyes in the near dark. She didn't know how to let him know how his words made her felt so she expressed it in the best way she knew he'd understand, with a kiss.
