You want everything?

Hazel sat on the barstool in the devil's nest. He was staring at Greed. Law looked at the young boy, who seemed not to notice he was leaning forward.

"You know Hazel, He will get annoyed with you if you keep starting at him. Just ask him." Hazel almost fell off the stool, but caught himself before he did. Hazel gave Law a questioning look.

"But what if he gets mad at me? Or thinks I am stupid?" Hazel huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

'Oh 7 year olds.' Law thought.

"Hey Hazel bring me a drink." Greed said and Hazel jumped off the stool and waited for the drink Law was pouring. Law handed the drink to Hazel who walked slowly over to Greed. He handed Greed the drink. Greed almost drank the whole think in one gulp. Hazel stood by Greed staring up at him. Greed looked down at the kid. Greed sighed and turned and looked Hazel square in the face.

"Why are you starting at me?" Hazel blushed as everyone in the room looked at him.

"Err ... I umm... Was just….umm."

"Spit it out kid."

"I was wondering when you said you want it all, do you really want everything?" Hazel asked starching out the word everything, while looking at Greed with big eyes. Greed smiled and did his whole speech about how he wants it all.

"I know all that stuff, cuz you say it all the time. But what about the other stuff. Like pain, or…or nightmares, what about headaches? And being scared, and getting hurt, and splinters, bug bites..." Hazel listed many more things. Everyone was listening to Hazel and where curious to hear Greed's reply. "And...and when you get that feeling when someone you love is getting hurt and you can't do anything about it! Wahaaaa!" Hazel started crying his hands trying to wipe his tears away but just getting wet and not helping. Greed looked around at the other people in the room for help. 'What do I do?' he mouthed at Marta. She shrugged and looked to Dorochet. He looked lost on the whole subject and looked to Law behind the bar, Law sighed, and pulled Dorochet into a quick one armed hug and then pushed him away. But Greed got the idea; comfort the kid. Then put a hand on Hazel's shoulder. The boy kept crying. Greed sighed and knelt down to the boy's eye level. Hazel's blue eyes meet Greed's purple eyes.

"Well kid it's against my nature to say I don't want anything. So I am going to tell you that I still want everything. And when all those things you said happen, and they sure do sound nasty, but how about when they happen..." he gave Hazel's dark hair a ruffle "You help me with them, alright?" Hazel nodded and sniffled one last time then yawned. "Hey does Hazel here have a bed time?" Greed asked as Hazel grabbed his legs and fell asleep almost in a standing up potion. "Oh great." Greed said and spent a large amount of time trying to pull Hazel off his legs without waking him.

'Why did I bring this kid?' Greed asked himself, but he smiled.
