Author's Note: Some Lustvy by request. It turns out that I enjoy writing pairings like this.

001. jealousy
He doesn't want to be apart from her. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? Not for him, and as he clings to her shadow with jealous longing, he remembers the haze of violet eyes and glares harder into the abyss of his own soul.
002. lasciviousness
She wants to be a part of him. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? It doesn't matter, because the pressure of his body against her is enough to keep her satisfied, to remind her of a day in which this can be hers forever.
003. voraciousness
He wants a part of her. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? No, never, but as he sinks his teeth into her softness, there's a warmth inside him that has nothing to do with her flesh against his stomach.
004. avarice
She wants their apartness to end. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? Probably not, but it doesn't matter when she ties him to a post as he smirks and makes him hers.
005. fury
He wants to tear her apart. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? It can't be, not when he blames her for the things that have gone wrong, not when he becomes someone he isn't just to see a man's eyes cloud with hate.
006. indolence
She wants to be nothing but a part of him. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? She doesn't care anymore, because existing like this exhausts her, and at the end of the day, she wants his head resting gently on her stomach, the soft snores of a boy that should never have existed, that she wouldn't trade for the world.
007. arrogance
He wants the part of him that died with her. This isn't love, not in the sense that humans use the word, but is love a thing that exists? He'll deny it until he dies, because he is homunculus and homunculi don't love; however, there is a reason he envies humans and their ability to love, because maybe they could have had something, something that was lost in the ashes of seven.
