Regrouping

[silverviper2134]

"If you want me to leave, I will" Martel told Greed softly, her voice low enough that only he could hear. "Don't worry, I wouldn't betray you. I'd just leave...let you get your life back".

[Greed]

"I never said that." he said flatly.
"If I wanted you gone, you would be. And you know this." he said, trying to prove a point.
"You're fine where you are." he said, trying to avoid saying he wants her here.

[silverviper2134]

She smiled slightly, before looking at him. "So, how long before the bitch realizes I'm gone?" she asked him, honestly wondering.

[Greed]

"Not long, I bet." he retorted, as if he was just waiting on that fact.
He sighed, and grinned.
"I guess, it can't be helped." he said, thoughtfully.

[silverviper2134]

"You mind if I...." she trailed off, but nodded at the empty space on the bed. It was fairly obvious what she desired.

[Greed]

He perked a brow, curious as to why she would even ask. But he calmly nodded, having no objection to the act. He sat back more, and gave a relaxed sigh.

[silverviper2134]

Martel climbed into the bed, next to her lover, getting close to him. She sighed lightly, before softly saying, "I love you....you know that, right?"

[Greed]

He was speechless. He had not expected her to come out with it, at all, much less so openly. He tried to speak, but nothing came out.
He put an arm around her, and held her as so.
"Yeah...?" he asked the open, indirectly asking her the said question.

[silverviper2134]

"You ever known me to lie before?" Martel asked with a smirk. "Actually, thank these little bastards for me actually admiting it. Whenever I try to deny it, they go crazy".

[Greed]

"Yeah.. But I want you to admit it.. Not because you feel you have to, but because you want to." he said, flatly.
He continued to look to the ceiling.

[silverviper2134]

"Don't get me wrong, I was going to admit it anyway. They just made me realize I had to get a move on it" she told him, edging a bit closer.

Suddenly there was a small knock on the door, followed by the sound of Gluttony whimpering.

[Greed]

He head such, and he knew that if he was to have any progress with Martel, he had to get rid of Gluttony.
"It's okay, lil' guy. Just go do your job. And there is some steak and iron over by the fridge." he said, trying to distract the male to get him away. His arm went around MArtel, once more. And then his attention did too.
"Is that so?" he asked.

[silverviper2134]

"Yeah," she said, nodding slightly. Her eyelids were beginning to droop, but she kept them open. After all, she felt like she needed to handle this problem first.

[Greed]

He leaned inward, his face mere inches from hers. And he had a small smile on his face.
"I see.." he whispered.

[silverviper2134]

Martel just smiled again. "You mind if I sleep in here?" she asked. "I can go in my room if that's what you want". Her voice was mumbled, showing she was already falling asleep.

[Greed]

He got in even closer, and kissed her forehead.
"Just get some damn sleep." he whispered gently. He slid in closer, and held her. Attempting at sleep, too.

[silverviper2134]

"I'm not giving any promises" she told him, though it was obvious she was about to fall asleep. And, only a few moments later, she was out like a light.

[Greed]

He smiled, lightly. Watching her sleep. He did not fall to sleep, as he heard footsteps. He figured it had to be the military. So, he stayed a wake. However, he did not move just yet. She deserved some rest.

[silverviper2134]

Martel tensed up slightly at the sound of footsteps. In her sleep, she reached for her knife, apparently forgetting that it wasn't there.

[Greed]

He mentally kicked himself for forgetting that she was prior military.
As such, he gently maneuvered around enough to cover her ears. Trying to keep her asleep.
