Gluttony
For as long as I lived with the Sins, the one called Gluttony was only known for what he eats. I never really knew about what he was, nor did he tell anyone. He'd just stare at anything… everyone who resembles food. In fact, I think we look like food to him. I just hope that he doesn't eat me… I avoid the obese beast as good as possible not trying to hurt any feelings. I told Onii-sama about this little problem… he laughed hysterically holding his stomach as if it hurt.
"You're so silly, cutie!" He grinned with tears of laughter seeping out of his eyes. As if this is funny… I sighed heavily knowing that Onii-sama would not help me out with the Gluttony problem. He saw my worried expression and gave me an anxious, yet shocked look! Just looking at him made me give out a pseudo nosebleed.
"I-If you're not going to tell me, then I'll go ask someone else!" I gave him the cold shoulder and was about to leave, but before I did, He stopped me by wrapping his arm around me shoulders. His chin touched mine. I began to blush.
"Don't worry… as long as you're with the Sins, Gluttony would never eat you," he whispered. Envy released me and left me to sigh with relief. With that, I left to go see Lust. Lust would protect me from Gluttony (if he happens to betray the Sins, and eat me just for fun)!
I happened to move toward Lust's room. I knocked on her door.
"L-Lust? It's me…may I come in?" I opened the door slowly looking around for any signs of life. There was Lust sitting on her oh-so looking comfortable bed… and there was Gluttony. Eating a squid, and staring at me with a dunce look in his eyes. As I thought, Lust was waiting for me. She looked at me with one of her long, stretched grins.
"Ah! My dear! Just the right time!" What? What did Lust want from me? She came up to me and kneeled, looking at me with a kind stare in her eyes. She clapped her hands together.
"Would you be a doll for me and take care of Gluttony while I'm gone on a job please?" No! Nononononononono! Anything but that! I don't want to baby-sit a killer!
"Uh… sure Lust! How long are you going to be gone?" I couldn't believe I said that. After all I said to Envy, it's coming back to haunt me. Haunt me!
"Just for a day. I'll be back before sun down tomorrow,"
"B-but!" I finally thought to rethink back what I said, but before I could, Lust put a finger on my lips.
"Just for a day…" Lust then waved goodbye. She closed the door behind her leaving me with Gluttony.
Great! What am I suppose to do with this guy? Forgetting my respect, I turn around to face Gluttony.
"Uh…eh he… so… what do you want to do?" I stopped to realize something that turned heartbreaking. He…Gluttony was crying.
"L-Lust…Lust!" He dashed toward the door at such speed it got me off balance. I have to stop him! With the technique Lust taught me, I barricaded the doors with my dark nails. Gluttony tried to break through, but was pushed back. After he knew that he couldn't do anything to escape, he curled up to a tight ball, and sobbed to himself sucking his finger!
"Lust…Lust! LUST!" From the thoughts I had about Gluttony, I started to feel bad about him. H-how could I calm him down? If only Lust were here…no! I need to fix this myself!
"Hey Gluttony… It's okay… ssshhhh…it's okay," Sadly, no matter how much I comforted him, he still gave out tears and drawn out, piercing roar. As he was sucking his finger, hw started biting it, sucking it, biting it… his finger was now bleeding. Oh man! I need some bandages! Wait! I can't leave him here! Oh what to do! I fell into a panic until I heard a familiar voice.
"Hey cutie! Do you need help?" I turn around to see Envy leaning on the door.
"Onii-sama! Thank goodness you're here! Can you help me? He's having a tantrum and I can't seem to stop it!" He shakes his finger at me and winks.
"I'm telling you! You always need my help at things…it's ridiculous!" I stick my tongue out of him. Although he might be teasing me, I'm glad that he is here! Envy looked at me, then at Gluttony. When he saw what happened to him, he made a face that seemed shocked…like it was I who did something wrong to the poor pig.
"Geez… He's love sick already… okay… come with me, Gluttony," He slowly picks up the sobbing homunculus, and leads him out of the room. Where are they going? I thought to myself. Something then crossed my mind… What if Onii-sama is taking Gluttony back to Lust! She trusted me with him!
"E-Envy! Wait!" I dashed out of the bedroom. There they were… standing with wide eyes.
"Where are you going?" Envy grinned and tilted his head the direction to where he was heading.
"The kitchen! Where else?" The kitchen? Oh yeah! With a smile that greatly was placed upon my face, I raced after the two heading toward Gluttony's favorite place.
When we got there, the kitchen looked practically empty. Of course! Religious people use to live here! Somehow… we were even lucky to find anything at all!
"Here's some leftover meat!" I choked from the stench of the raw meat. I threw it over to Gluttony who caught it in the air and chewed it sadly.
"He's still hungry…" Envy moaned rubbing his head. I wondered: How are we going to get more meat? I thought heavily…
"The forest!" Envy announced before me. However, it was the same idea. He must be telepathic! We prepared for the hunt with…nothing really! At first, I thought the hunt was a good idea, but then it hit me… I don't know how to hunt! Sadly, I just watched Envy running back and forth catching animals one by one. Great! What kind of person am I if I don't know how to hunt?
Hours passed and Envy came back with a whole bag of animals for Gluttony. He stared at me, searching for any food that he might think that I caught.
"Guess you know how much of a humiliation I am…" I said looking down at my feet with embarrassment, and shame. It fell silent, but it didn't last long. Envy startlingly hugged me with all the dead animals in one hand. My face quickly turned beet red. I struggled, and wiggled to get myself free.
"O-Onii-sama! What are you doing?" Every second, he drew me to his body closer, and closer… he was nearly suffocating me!
"T-that hurts… can't b-breathe!" I was losing air, but Envy finally released, but still kept his hands on my shoulders.
"You are not a humiliation…" he whispered. I looked at him. His eyes strangely turned soft, and he was smiling. Smiling a gentle smile that did not seemed like to kill, but to care.
"You are a Homunculus. I can understand why you feel this way, and it's okay! You will be able to hunt in time, you just have to practice. He gave me the dead creatures and told me to give this to desperate Gluttony. I thanked him, and ran off back to the kitchen.
As I reached the kitchen, it turned out that Gluttony was gone. Yet again, I fell into a panic. No! What do I do? If Lust returns, she'll never trust me again! With quick haste, I looked everywhere. Luckily, I found Gluttony, but he wasn't looking too good. He was limping and he had his hand over his stomach. Was he really that hungry? I couldn't let poor Gluttony suffer like this. I grabbed him and begged for him to return to the kitchen.
"Please Gluttony! I will promise to care of you, just please…please…Come back to me!" The shaking, and pained Gluttony soon calmed down, and was taken back to the kitchen.
Like a mother, I fed him all the dead animals and cared for him until Lust came back. Lust looked tired, wasted, but kept a smile on her face.
"Hello dear…Gluttony…did everything go okay?" That question awkwardly made me hesitate, but Gluttony answered.
"Good lady…Took care of Gluttony!" Somehow, it made me very happy that the pig didn't rat me out with any complaint. Lust patted me on the head.
"I'm glad to hear that, thank you for your help," For a long time, I never felt this good with myself. Helping others when they are in pain, made me realize how responsible I am. I just hope that that responsibility continues to grow as I remain here with my only family…The Sins.
(Horrible it might seem, but like I said, I'm getting better at typing stories. Sorry if it might seem that it's more about Envy than Gluttony. It was mostly of what was in my mind… Please give me your opinions about this fanfic! XD)
