[ NICE. HEIGHT SUPREMACY. And an eyebrow quirks when he notices that it's... COLD? But doesn't let it deter him since he has maybe too much experience holding ice cream pints. ]
Wow, chilly! Kind of like your attitude sometimes. [ HAHA. ] You do?
[it's cold! and also greed narrows their eyes at him. gojou can see that they are purple from this close, too.]
Don't be absurd. [it's...dark, but he can also make out what appears to be wisp-like shadows that are seeping out from under the hood and two fangs protruding from their mouth. and also...a bit of hair? longer bangs that frame their face.] What did you think would be there?
[greed just kind of pushes gojou's head back a bit, a heavy sigh following.]
Better than some of the others then.
[...don't make them regret this, gojou. two clawed hands reach up to pull their hood down carefully.]
. . . [without the hood, he can see that their eyes are still glowing purple and there's a hollow sort of darkness around the eye sockets, like deep-set shadows that give them an almost skeletal appearance as their eyes are sunken in. there's wisps of shadows coming from around there and thick black-blue veins spiderwebbing over them that seem to bulge slightly, skin crackling in places. they're also very pale. there's the claws, of course, and the fangs, too.
also, they look like they haven't slept very much, but what else is new. please ignore the slightly uncertain look.]
[ i knew it. But ohhhhhh is what he mouths, but doesn't say. He takes it in! Finding it interesting since he hasn't met a curse that looks like this, not that Greed is a curse. ]
You have stronger features than me?
[ HECC. His baby face compared to Greed's, despite height difference... Unfair. But, yes, of course Greed has stronger features?? They have fangs? Glowing purple eyes??
[to the surprise of no one this sure is greed. he stands still long enough to let gojou look him over, though now he can see the eyebrow being raised higher and higher in real time. ]
Are you surprised? [a hand comes up to adjust some of the hair hanging in his face though. ]
I said I want a good luck kiss and that was me giving you one cause there was a window to your forehead.
[ But he thinks it’s cute that he goes silent for a bit! So fine, he will spoil Greed with more of them, this time in different places like above an eyebrow, between the eyes, on the nose... both cheeks.
An opportunist then. [he tries to sound annoyed and mostly succeeds but he still stands still to let gojou do this. the furrow of his eyebrows softens a little and he's still chilled so that's a sort of weird sensation but...this also seems exactly like the type of thing gojou would do.
it seems like the type of thing that type of person would do, period. ]
[rude. he doesn't argue that and he's ready to say something else instead but then finally gojou gets to his mouth and...greed kisses back? like brief because gojou doesn't stay long and he's laughing which means greed pulls his head back and looks, frankly, a little flustered.]
The laughter is hardly reassuring. [and yet weirdly attractive. hate it here.]
[ Which means he’s allowed to collect another! Just because he didn’t feel like he got what he asked for.
That’s the only warning before he brushes their lips together again. His other hand trails up the column of Greed’s neck and thumbs his hairline as he deepens the kiss—with a little nibbling, some licking. No stupid snickers this time. ]
[i do not have enough words to describe how much i hate you at this moment. so yeah, that is to say, greed doesn't bother protesting because he already told gojou he finds him familiar and attractive so maybe there isn't a point in denying that?
so instead, yeah, he'll kiss back and follow along, tentatively, even as a clawed hand loosely wraps around gojou's arm that's around his waist. give him a moment to step a little closer to try and make up for the height difference. wonder how long it'll be before gojou gets too cold and pulls back.
this is so stupid, this is absolutely not what he expected when he showed up.]
[ IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOUR NPC HAS BAD TASTE... THAT EDGEWORTH HAS BAD TASTE. His body tenses up when he feels hands on him at first, but it eases away fast. Fingers run through some of Greed's hair, tangling and playing with them in between, as he continues. While he does have to pull away (it is cold), the kiss lasts long enough and he definitely makes sure to swipe one last taste.
He licks his lips cause, yeah, cold, but also cause that was fun! Mapping out fangs, actually very fun? ]
[it's not my fault either??????????????? either way, yeah, so they let this go for a while and eventually gojou pulls back and leaves greed a little more than flustered, lips parted slightly and just kind of staring at him.
horrible. but he rolls his eyes.]
Good luck tomorrow. You'll absolutely need it to keep yourself alive.
I'd offer that you can sleep with me since you look like you can use it and I generally need a sleeping buddy now. [ Like... literal sleep. ] But you have a lot of work to get back to, right?
I imagine people may already find you suspicious given who's involved. So it will be up to you to defend yourself with the evidence provided.
[also hm.] ...all the more reason a Sloth alignment makes sense. [sadly that offer is tempting, but.] I do need to finish the case notes for the others tomorrow. Three bodies means a greater amount of paperwork. And the cold might be troublesome.
[they are aware. but there's a pause.] But perhaps if you survive this.
[it's not even a good bribe??? but sure, whatever, he would just like gojou to stay alive and for the participants to figure out the truth about this week.]
Patchface really left me with a mess, but fortunately the stars align for me most of the time. [ Though he doesn't seem as arrogant? He just says it. ] Hey...! I barely get sleep at home because of work.
[ Going to take that Sloth being lazy is the implication? He laughs a bit more as Greed tries to circle around the offer. Sleep is good! Beauty sleep. Restful sleep.
Incredulous, though still smiling. ]
All right. I'll try to stay alive so we can have sleepovers once in a while.
"Most of the time." [that's not reassuring, but it will have to do.] I believe you and I have that in common.
[why tf do you think he hasn't slept, gojou!! but it's fine. greed will eventually just agree to things.]
Do try your best. I would prefer you were successful tomorrow. [not that it stops greed from kissing him again before practically vaulting back again.]
[ They weirdly have a handful of things in common. Gojou blinks a couple of times... Aw, that's sweet! Greed is kind of cute (he already knows this but it repeats in his mind anyway). ]
Nope. That's it. Just wanted to see you in case this is my last moment of freedom.
[sometimes you are an emotionally stunted tsundere half-monster person. it happens. but greed shakes his head and takes another step back toward the door.]
Then we can only hope it won't be. [he tilts his head slightly to look at gojou again.] Be careful.
