Greed locked the door and turned to his lover. Insanity started laughing. "Oh Jesus! Did you see those people?" He nodded.
"That woman looked like she was gonna keel over!" Insanity giggled. "What the hell!" He shook his head. His laughter subsided a little. "God, I hate having to act normal…" Insanity was far from normal. Even at 98 pounds, he could easily overturn a tank. And there was the fact that he had a very active relationship with Greed, and loved PDA. (Public display of affection.) Greed gazed down at him. "What?"
"I just noticed how much you and Katie look alike." He circled his young lover. "Long dark hair, tan skin, thin yet muscular…" He embraced Insanity fro the behind. "Still, I'd only screw you, though." Insanity smiled.
"Thanks a lot." He sighed. "I want to go back outside and walk through the park." The sky outside had darkened to a brilliant purple streaked with gold. The moon was just beginning to appear. Insanity leaned his head back and kissed Greed. "I think we make Trunks uncomfortable." Greed snorted.
"Yeah, I sorta figured that out a bit ago. At least he wasn't like that freaky person form last year." Greed shuddered in remembrance. Insanity broke free from Greed's arms and tugged him to the door.
"Come on. The place looks so cool at night."
The park was lit by candlelight, casting eerie shadows over the lawn. The couple strolled down the walkway, hand in hand. Someone stepped in their path.
"Sinners, you'll both be damned to hell if you don't repent and save yourselves." A young woman with flowing dark hair and dark eyeliner pointed directly at Greed, then Insanity.
"Whoa hey, we're not looking for trouble, missy." Greed was very anti-religious, but he didn't voice it unless you get nasty with him. "We haven't done any 'sinning'."
The woman strode over to Insanity and grasped his hands in hers. "Please, take God into your heart and soul. Save yourself. You're too young to go to Purgatory." Insanity stared at her, his eyes wide. Greed reached over and pried her hands off the boy. Insanity shook his head and glared at her. "You don't know me. Don't try to. You'll only find disappointment." He wrapped his arms around Greed's and they both hurried away.
"Just a repeat of last year, huh?" Greed said as soon as they were out of earshot. Insanity nodded. His face was pink. "You okay?"
"She called me 'young'." Insanity did indeed look young, about 16, but that was a while ago. Back in 1915. Now it's 2006. He'd be about 90-ish at the time. Greed laughed out loud.
"Jesus, I thought she scared you or some shit like that!" He slapped his forehead.
"He refused! Even when I pleaded to save his soul!" Evelyn cried into her mother's lap.
"Sshhhhh…it's all right now. Now we know who is to be trusted, and who is to be the offering." Sophia raised her daughter's face to stare into her eyes. "God has seen your deeds, even if they weren't succumbed to. She will reward you when the Path to Paradise is opened." Evelyn nodded, a small smile forming on her pale face.
