AN. Okay, the third entry. Sin for this one is Greed. Once again, this is the order they were written in:
Lust - Wrath - Greed - Sloth - Envy - Gluttony - Pride
The ones underlined are the ones I'm surprisingly proud of... Be kind when it comes to the other ones; I'm not totally sold on them yet XD And this is one I'm proud of :D Enjoy!
Greed
"Mu-u-um!!"
Chichi sighed softly to herself as she shovelled chopped carrots into a waiting pot. The sharpened knife she was using flashed in the sunlight, sending bright lights over the ceiling. She heard Goten's running footsteps and turned, resting the knife on the cutting block as she did so.
"What is it, Goten-chan?" she asked.
"Nii-chan's not sharing," Goten said, and pouted. Chichi frowned a little (not sharing wasn't like her oldest son at all; he was usually so generous with his possessions) then raised her voice in her patented Chichi shout.
"Gohan-chan! Share with your brother!"
"Bu-but, Mum!!" came Gohan's voice from his bedroom, the tone horrified.
"No buts!" she called, brandishing her kitchen knife as though he could see her. "You share with your brother the way I taught you!"
Goten grinned, then flew up a little and kissed his mother's cheek.
"Thanks, Mum."
"No problem, sweetie." She turned her attention back to her cutting board, drawing a leek towards her. "Now go play, okay? Dinner in about an hour."
"Kay."
She smiled as she listened to Goten's retreat, beginning to cut the leek by instinct alone. She was so glad she could have helped.

Gohan lay on his bed, his eyes wide and disbelieving as Goten barged in, grinning. It wasn't a malicious smile, but there was more than a hint of smugness there and he giggled as he jumped onto the bed.
"Goten-kun, honestly..."
"You heard what Mum said," Goten said. "You've gotta share."
"B-but, Goten!"
Goten paused, smiling, raising his eyebrows a little. Gohan faltered, tried desperately to find a loophole in the argument his mother had pushed upon him, then sighed resignedly.
"Fine."
"Yay!" Goten inched forward, then bent down and pressed his lips to Videl's cheek in a short, simple kiss. Then he backed off.
"Can you leave us alone now, Goten? Please?" Gohan sounded pained. Videl had both her hands pressed hard over her mouth and her face was steadily turning red.
"You're just being greedy," Goten said, sticking his tongue out. "You should share more."
"G-greedy?" Gohan asked incredulously as Videl let out a little choking noise. "I'm being...?"
"I'm gonna go help Mum cut up the fish," Goten said, cutting across his older brother. He leant down and kissed Videl's other cheek, grinning innocently at her. "See you later, nee-chan."
"Yeah," Videl choked. "Later..."
Goten got off the bed and left the room, the door swinging shut behind him. Gohan was still gaping at the door, his eyes filled with disbelieving incredulity. Videl burst out laughing, falling back on the pillows and resting her hands on her stomach, throwing her head back as she cackled at the ceiling.
"He...he said I was greedy," Gohan said in a soft, disbelieving voice. "He said..."
"Yes, Gohan-kun, he did," Videl said, still laughing.
"He said I was greedy," Gohan repeated, now switching his gaze to Videl. "For saying he can't kiss my girlfriend."
"He's so sweet," Videl said. "Asking for a kiss like that. He's such a sweet little kid."
"B-b-b-but..."
"And he's so cute!" Videl continued, smiling and pressing her hands over her chest. Gohan let out a little scoffing laugh, putting the heel of his palm against his forehead and shaking his head hard.
"W-wait, you're siding with him in this?"
Videl sat up, still laughing softly, then put a hand on his cheek, turned his face towards her and kissed him on the lips. His disbelieving gape instantly moulded itself around her lips, his hand slipping around the back of her neck and toying with her hairline.
They pulled apart after a moment, Videl grinning at him.
"Just don't let him share anything else about our relationship. Got it?"
Gohan nodded, now smiling a little dazedly, before kissing her again. He hugged her close to him and murmured, "He has no idea what he's missing out on..." as she laughed softly.
AN. (shrugs) It fits. And I like it, so meh. Anyway, I hope you liked it, look forward to tomorrow ;D
