I trust you

Lena furrowed her eyebrows when her boyfriend of three years suddenly froze and retreated from her, his position stiff and almost defensive, like a wounded animal hiding its pain. She tried to reach out to him but the voice he spoke in sent a very uneasy feeling settling into the pit of her stomach.

"Don't," Greed's voice was quiet, so unlike his boisterous, confident self. He had his back to her, clad only in a black undershirt and pants, his dark ponytail spilling on his back and partly his broad shoulders.

Worry marred her face, "Greed?" when he didn't answer, the worry increased, "Greed, what's wrong?" when she placed a warm hand on his shoulder, he flinched back, as if burned.

She recoiled, afraid she had overstepped an invisible line that wasn't there before, "Greed, look at me, please," he still refused to look at her and her worry spiked, "What are you afraid of? What makes you so scared that you refuse to look at me?" she crawled to his front.

She leaned forward and gently tried to lift his face up to her so he looked at her but his eyes remained downcast, "Please, tell me," she begged him softly, hands resting on his shoulders, seeing the building conflict on his face.

He waged a war with himself inside his own mind, whether or not to tell her the truth. Greed had already long realized this woman was holding his very heart in her hands, his very existence, so why was it so difficult for him to express his feelings to her now? In this important moment? Where he showered her with affections when they were alone otherwise.

Greed solemnly lifted his head and looked at her, his gaze uncharacteristically soft and open and said quietly, "I'm sorry..." gently, he removed her hands from his face, feeling more like an asshole than he ever did before at the crushed expression on her face at his actions.

"For what Greed? Why?" Lena tried to understand, she desperately did, but he wasn't making any sense. Just a moment ago he swept her off her feet at her request and they were ready to finally consummate their relationship but then he just...closed himself off. It terrified her to see this angsty, defensive and closed off side of him.

His sharp teeth clenched in frustration at trying to articulate himself, "I'm not...I'm not worthy of this, of you. You deserve better, far better than I can ever give you," his grin was dry and showed how much he loathed himself in this very moment, alone here with her.

Lena sighed, placing her hands on her hips, "Listen you, I'm feeling more scared hearing you talk like that than anything else. Greed, why do you think that? You know I never minded you being a Homunculus," she gently caressed his face but he turned away and, while the action hadn't meant to, it still hurt her.

"I killed, Lena," his gaze met hers, "I killed innocent people, sometimes without even batting an eye. I followed my old man's orders like some damn puppet, I tried to hurt you at one point too. How can you trust a man like that?" Lena smiled warmly, shaking her head. They've already had similar conversations before, but she knew it still bothered him.

Her fingers gently, soothingly gliding over his jaw line as she said her next words in a semi-playful tone, "Are you kidding? Those men are the best ones," she giggled, before turning serious, "Greed, we both did things we regret, we used to be on opposing sides and I tried to hurt you too. But..." her fingers lightly trailed a line down his defined chest and abdomen, "Doesn't this make you feel I trust you? That I trust and love you enough to do this with you?" her gaze softened at his said look, "Stop giving me that kicked puppy look. I want my Greed back," she poked him playfully.

Greed suddenly straightened and wrapped his strong arms around her, "You said you...loved me?" Lena's eyes widened, missing the fact that they have both been reluctant to say that one particular word until now, despite three years of a relationship. She knew, with how much affectionate and devotion he showed her, that they both loved each-other, but were afraid of breaking that spell...afraid that the moment would end.

Usually when happy things happened, something disastrous would follow and take it away.

Swallowing her fear, she nodded into his neck, feeling him relax against her.

He exhaled, as if a great burden had been lifted off him, she felt his warm lips on her neck, gently placing sweet, butterfly kisses along her jaw until he reached her face and kissed each closed eye and cheek.

When she opened her eyes again, he was already looking at her and the sadness and guilt was gone from his eyes, replaced by warmth and love she had grown so accustomed to seeing whenever he looked at her.

He affectionately bumped noses with her, smiling and grinning like the love sick fool he was. She blushed at the attention and he chuckled, "You're more beautiful than you think you know," his hands rested languidly on her waist, fingers moving beneath the fabric of her shirt to massage the warm, bare skin gently, lovingly.

She shook her head, her forehead rubbing against his, "And you're more of a gentleman than you may think," she closed her eyes, feeling his warm breath tickle her face and neck, she couldn't keep the amusement from her voice, "I'm sitting here half naked and all you do is talk about yourself, mister Self-absorbed," she giggled.

Greed chuckled, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and kissing and sniffing her hair, "Because you're important to me," he locked gazes with her when she opened her eyes in mild surprise, "I wasn't exactly a Casanova, didn't have time for that shit but I've fooled around with some women because I thought it would finally sate my avarice. When I realized it didn't I stopped because the tramps kept calling me all the time,"

Lena rolled her eyes, "Oh, how dare they," her voice was dripping heavily with sarcasm, one eyebrow quirked in mild amusement, she earned a playful pinch to her skin from Greed as punishment.

The Homunculus chuckled and shook his head, "But this is different, you're different. You accepted me for who I am, what I am. You trust me this much to share this with me...why?" his gaze bore into hers and she moved her hands to rest on his chest, feeling his strong beating heart, "Don't make me repeat myself. I love you, idiot," she smiled, a hint of insecurity showing in her eyes when he remained silent.

Greed hugged her again tightly, burying his face in her neck, contently inhaling her scent. He was surprised to find out it was a bit mingled with his own and a small smirk stretched over his handsome face.

Lena of course, noticed, "W-what?" did she smell bad? But she took a shower an hour ago...oh god she smelled...

Seeing the distressed expressions she was making amused Greed, "You smell like me,"

She deadpanned, "I don't know if that's a good thing," he laughed, cradling her closer against his warm body.

He whispered into her ear, "I love it. The scent. It would make every man back off knowing you're taken," again, Lena rolled her eyes, "Men,"

"Greed, not everyone has a superior sense of smell," she felt his grin devilishly against her skin and she shivered at the effect it had on her, damn him.

"Then we will have to show them in another way," she giggled when he rubbed his nose lovingly into her neck and they fell back on the bed, laughing.

Lena poked his chest, "You're such a kid," she pouted.

Greed grinned widely, "But you love me for that," his gaze screamed wickedness.

Her gaze softened, "Meh...kinda," she smiled.

The Homunculus beside her chuckled at her expression, "Don't tell me you didn't figure it out by now?" his expression was heavily amused.

She rose an eyebrow, he laughed, "I love you too you dense girl. I thought that was obvious," she pouted again and he kissed her.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, they briefly broke apart and Lena whispered, "So...are you going to get naked or what?" she grinned, a very Greed-like grin.

This time, it was his turn to roll his eyes, "You can be so damn romantic when you wanna be you know that?" he smirked up at her.

Lena shrugged, resting her hands lightly on his chest, "I learned from the best," she stuck her tongue out.

"Hey, I shower you with affections all the time, little lady," he grunted when she giggled in amusement.

Though his attention was quickly shifted when she shifted above him, his curse was loud and clear and only fueled Lena's amusement, "Very funny," he barked, though his tone lacked any bite nor hostility.

The amused woman above him sighed and leaned down to affectionately peck his lips, "Of course I'm funny, I'm always funny," Greed rolled his eyes and Lena snorted softly, "Not my problem that you're so easily distracted," she stuck her tongue out playfully.

Greed sent her a dark look, "Excuse me for being a bit distracted when someone's sitting on top of me!" he growled.

Lena smirked and rose an eyebrow in amusement, "Oh? So you would be distracted if Ed was sitting on top of you? Or Mustang? Or Ling?" she teased mercilessly and earned a light pinch against her hip.

"You evil woman," Greed glared at her, "Don't put images into my head I don't wanna have right now!"

He froze when his eyes caught the movement of her shirt sliding off her shoulder a bit, his eyes sprung back to hers, "Uh..."

Lena's smile was secretive and teasing at the same time, a evil twinkle in her eye, "...How about I put images into your head you want to have?" her voice was nearly a purr and a shiver raced up and down Greed's spine, his eyes comically wide.

"Uh..." was his intelligent answer.

Lena just giggled.

"Lena..." Winry's smirk was positively mischievous, her voice more than just amused.

"Hmm?" the brunette drank some water after a long day of helping Winry out at the field, planting vegetables at the new garden.

"So...how did you sleep last night?" Winry appeared innocent, good thing her back was turned to her friend as she petted Den's head.

The woman in question stretched her arms over her head, "It was good, but I didn't really get that much sleep," she yawned, "Why you asking?" she tilted her head.

Winry turned around, a shadow covering her face and stars practically replacing her eyes, "Oh you know...I had thought Greed would be pretty possessive of you, since he is the sin of avarice himself, but...he did leave a number on you," she winked, a large grin on her face, eyes set on her prize.

Lena's face turned red, hands covering her neck and collarbone as her flannel shirt, which was opened a few buttons due to the heat, had exposed her various hickeys to Winry. Lena had completely forgotten about them! Her fists shook in the air as Winry fled the scene, "W-W-Winry!"

Ed gazed weirdly at Greed who huffed with the strain of carrying one of Winry's newest limb replacements, a large arm the size of Alex Armstrong's whole body, toward the house.

Greed noticed the stare, "What?" he looked weirdly at the blonde in turn.

Ed scratched the back of his neck, pointing at Greed, "Uh...why are you limping?" he blinked rapidly.

Despite himself, Greed blushed darkly, turning away from the man and huffing, "I tripped!"

Somehow in some bizarre way, Ed didn't believe a single word he said.

I regret nothing. XD Somehow I found a liking to writing a bit of fluff ^^
