Greed took a swig of the scotch he had generously poured himself. Wrath, who seemed to be mildly content, was sitting on the red, faux suede couch; Ritzy place.
"By the way…" Greed peered at Wrath over his rounded sunglasses, "you in some sort of trouble?"
Wrath shook his head in disagreement.
"Well, your clothes say something different."
"Oh…" Wrath looked down at his exposed arm and chest. He remembered Edward pinning him to the wall and yelling at him.
This is my arm!
"Greed-sama… why do my arms and legs look so different from each other?" He said, examining his limbs.
"Your…?" Greed looked at the arm and leg. Indeed, the looked like they did not belong with the rest of the ivory skin, and they were slightly larger. "I see…"
"And some person, named Edward… he said that they were his." Wrath's voice broke, "but they're not! They're mine!"
"Yeah…" Greed knew that now they were his, but they were not originally meant for him.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Wrath said harshly.
"Hmn? Oh. Yeah kid, it's believable." Greed had other things on his mind at the moment.
"You--"
"Hey, kid. Aren't you hungry?" Greed said softly and pulled out a small black pouch out if his pocket.
"What…?"
"Eat these." Greed rose from the bar stool and dropped five heliotype, stone candies into the boy's hand.
In this small of a quantity…he won't turn…
Wrath blinked at them, them shoved the candies back at Greed.
Damn. I need to get these in him before anyone can find him.
"Oh, no. I insist you try one." Greed shoved one of the heliotype candies in Wrath's mouth. He had smacked Greed's hand away, but quickly reversed his action after realizing how good they tasted. Wrath ate the stones out of Greed's hand like an animal at a petting zoo.
Greed found the site the be cutely amusing.
"Kid, you're just like me. I…" Greed paused to collect his words, but there really was only one way to say it." These stones are made from… human lives--"
"H-Human lives??" Wrath said hoarsely and spit out what ever bit of the stones he had in his mouth.
"I know. If you don't want them-"
"I don't!"
"Then I guess you don't need anymore then, do you?" Greed cursed himself. He hated the fact that his nature had always been to taunt or provoke people.
Wrath clenched his teeth. Do it.
The boy transmuted his leg with the floor and made the affected spot rise up in a pike and knock the black satin bag out of Greed's hand, and estimated thirty stones spilling onto the floor.
Shit, he can't have that many! He'll…
Greed lunged on the floor and managed to gather up most of the stones before Wrath could eat more than half of them.
"Gimme those!" Wrath screamed at him, his eyes rimmed with tears and a small thin line of blood trickling out the corner of his mouth. "Gi-"
The boy clenched his stomach and cried out. Greed had not looked forward to this part, when the power of the stones began to spread through your body. They killed everything, you could feel your body dying and becoming something impure…
Greed wrapped his arms around the child. He could feel his body twitching and his pain. He, himself, had gone through it once before too.
-
After several minutes of anguish, Wrath finally calmed down. Greed released him, but the boy proceeded to wrap his own mismatched arms around the elder sin's neck. Wrath didn't know weather to kill him or confide in him. He chose the latter.
"W-what did you do to me?" He sobbed into Greed's shoulder.
"…I took your burden on my shoulders, I helped you remember what you are." He said heavily.
"I'm…?"
"You are a homunculus." Greed pushed Wrath away from himself. He placed his hands on either the younger sin's shoulders, "You are the same thing as me."
Wrath screwed up his face in thought. His voice sounded broken and frightened.
"Am…am I something bad?"
It was put childishly, but then again he was a child.
"No. I mean… to the humans you are. Forget that, you are if you wanna be. You're free to chose what you want to be…" Greed said hesitantly. Wrath shook his head mechanically.
He was never free to chose, none of us were. Otherwise, we would have stayed dead like we were supposed to.
There was a long pause before Greed broke the silence again.
"Wrath."
"Wrath?" The child looked up at Greed in confusion.
"Your name…" Greed placed a hand atop Wrath's head, "is Wrath. Know, that as long as I'm around you will never be alone and no one will hurt you.."
-The amount of stones given to the child were enough to grant him immortality and help him to remember his origins, but not enough to fill him with hatred and drive him into the insane manically depressed child we know, had Envy gotten a hold of him. Therefore, Greed had successfully conserved the boy's innocence.
