Once ler woke up very slowly, his arms grasped out and he smiled with closed eyes as he met with Greedler. He pulled himself closer to the other. “Mmm…. you slept with me,” he yawned.

“I stayed here all night. I can’t sleep, remember?” Greed-ler continued to hold him close. “You’re a very sound sleeper, you know and you don’t move around much. You just stayed in my arms all night.”

          Once ler smiled sleepily and cuddled closer to Greedler and purred. “I’ve been in your arms all night? That sounds nice…” Once ler said in a pleased voice. In his tired state everything felt good and warm/

“It was nice. Especially since you don’t snore.” Greed-ler kissed the top of Once-ler’s head and remembered they were leaving tonight at 7. “I wanna take you to the tower tonight for one last dance.”

“Mmmm okay, sounds lovely,” he murmured. He stretched and yawned, and then cuddled back against Greedler. He was still too tired to think about the fact they were leaving, he was still in his perfect dream world.

“You’re going to have to get up though. It’s already 10 and I want to spend time with you when you’re awake.” Greed-ler rubbed Once-ler’s back, trying to get him up.

Once ler moved back into the rubbing which felt good. “Mmm so what plans do we have other than the tower tonight? I’d love anything really, just no business meetings okay?” he yawned. He sat up, doing his best to do as Greedler asked.

“Nope. No meetings today. Just you and me, kid. We do have a lot of time to kill. We can stay here or we could always go out to lunch. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?” Greed-ler smiled.

“Mmm lunch. Where would we go? Is there somewhere we could go with a nice view? I’d really like to be able to see something nice” Once ler said excitedly. He was actually getting up this time without having to be asked more than once.

“I’m sure I can find a casual place with a lovely view.” Greed-ler was surprised at how obedient Once-ler was being. He supposed he wanted everything to go perfect on their last day in Paris.

“That sounds perfect… You said it’s 10 right? When do you want to leave? I think I should shower before we go, I smell like sex,” Once ler said laughing.

“I should shower too. We can leave about noon or 12:30. Either is fine.” The whole suite smelled like sex actually. It made Greed-ler smile. The poor maids who’d have to clean the place.

“Alright just wanted to make sure I had enough time.” Once ler smiled and headed for the bathroom, already naked, the only traced of the night before was his eye lashes which were still black from the mascara. He started up the shower and waited for it to heat up.

Greed-ler walked into the bathroom after Once-ler had already shut the door. “Can I take one with you? I promise I won’t do anything sexual.” Greed-ler smirked and waited for approval.

“I would have said yes either way,” Once ler said smiling. He felt the water and approving of the temperature got in, sighing in the warmth. He just stood in the stream of water with his eyes closed for a few minutes.

Greed-ler undressed and stepped in, standing in front of Once-ler. He ran his hands up and down Once-ler’s chest, loving how warm it was. “You are the most attractive person I have ever met,”

“Mmm you realize that by saying that, you’re only complimenting yourself right? But you are very handsome,” Once ler said. He moved out of the way so that Greedler could get into the water and grabbed for the hotel shampoos.

“Oh, so you picked up on me complimenting you all the time.” Greed-ler chuckled. There were things in Once-ler that he just couldn’t see in himself. Even if it sounded narcissistic, it wasn’t in a way.

Once ler giggled and bumped his hip into the other in mock anger. “Just wash yourself already,” he said. He began to lather up his own hair, sighing as he massaged his head.

Greed-ler took the shampoo and lathered in it his hands and then in his hair. He watched Once-ler with a smirk on his face. Once-ler was really adorable and he couldn’t help but watch,

Once ler gently pushed Greedler aside so he could get at the water and rinse. He squinted a lot to make sure that suds didn’t get into his eyes and he rubbed his hair until he couldn’t feel any shampoo. “Your turn.”

Greed-ler stepped under the water and rinsed out his hair until it was just soaked. He let the water run down his body and then stepped back. He didn’t quite wanna get out yet though.

Once ler advanced towards Greedler slowly, just looking up and staring at him. He pressed their chests together and rested his head against the other’s neck. He ran his hands into Greedler’s dripping hair and scratched his scalp.

Greed-ler smirked and held Once-ler close and stroked his hair. He loved full on body contact with Once-ler. It felt so surreal and didn’t happen too often. He just liked it more when Once-ler was the only one naked.

Once ler looked up at Greedler with a soft smile. Water beaded onto his darkened eyelashes and would reform with each blink. “I love you Greed,” he said just softly enough for the other’s ears to need to strain to pick up.

Greed-ler smiled. “I love you too.” He held Once-ler close and continued to stroke his hair. “You’re so precious. I can’t believe you even exist.”

Once ler laughed. “Do you mean that literally? Because you know I’m still sort of confused on that myself.” But in that moment, like most moments it didn’t matter. He was two people and was madly in love with his other half.

“It doesn’t matter. I love you no matter who you are or what you are.” Greed-ler kept holding onto him, knowing they had to get out of the shower eventually. Lunch would come soon enough.

“I love you no matter what /you/ are,” Once ler laughed. He looked at his fingers which were starting to prune and rubbed them against Greedler’s arms, giggling at the textures.

“Maybe we should get out of the shower, baby. We need to dry off before it’s time for lunch. We need to look our bests after all.” Greed-ler smiled, but made no action to get out of the shower.

“Mmm just a few more minutes, the water feels so good… But I promise only a few minutes, I won’t be in for much longer” Once ler said, not wanting to get Greedler angry by denying the request. He went under the water and let it wash over him one last time.

Greed-ler smiled and stepped out of the shower himself then dried himself off and dressed in his usual suit minus the hat, just to let his hair dry a bit. “Not much longer, Oncie!”

“No… Don’t worry.” He rinsed one last time and turned the water off quickly, so he was forced to get out. “Done” he said, then headed back into the bedroom to get his last clean set of clothing.

Greed-ler smiled. “Let your hair dry a bit before you put your hat on alright?” Greed-ler went out onto the balcony to have a cigar. He didn’t want to leave and he knew Once-ler didn’t either.

Once ler laughed a little and Greedler’s advice, not thinking it was nessicary, but sweet, he liked sweet. He took a towel and dried out his hair, making it poof out. He went out on the balcony and hugged Greedler from behind, staying out of the smoke’s way. He hummed softly, happily.

Greed-ler smiled slightly and took another drag off his cigar. “Second hand smoke kills you know.” He put his hands on Once-ler’s and closed his eyes, feeling the soft vibrations on his back.

Once ler pouted a little, “Says the man who’s actually smoking them… Besides the smoke is going in the opposite direction.” He rubbed his head against Greedler’s back and smiled, happy to be with the other man.

“I’m smoking through a filter. It’s different.” Greed-ler took another long drag. “What do you wanna do on our last day in Paris, baby?” He was up for anything  really. He just wanted to be with Once-ler.

“Anything really, like I said before we should go out and see something… and maybe if it’s okay with you we could take more pictures,” he said. He wished they would’ve gotten some with him dressed up, but it was alright.

“Yeah, going out would be fine. And taking picture would be great as well.” Greed-ler put out his cigar and flicked the butt. “Let’s go in.” He turned around and took Once-ler’s hand then led him back inside.

“A-and maybe when we get back I could get an album for everything for something… But I’d need more than just three pictures.” He wished he had enough for an entire album, only having a few pictures in an entire album would make him a little depressed.

“We can take a lot then and some on the plane and then some when we get back. I promise.” Greed-ler smirked. Perhaps that was an empty promise, but there was no telling how busy he’d really be.

Once ler smiled a lot and hugged Greedler’s arm in excitement, loving the idea. “I’m really excited now. I’m not sure what all I should take pictures of,” he said. He found the camera in the bedroom and held onto it dearly.

“We could always take a few here, you know.” Greed-ler sat down on the couch and smiled at the boy. He truly couldn’t explain his infatuation for him and why he just wanted to make him so happy.

Once ler took the camera and held it up to take a picture of Greedler, capturing his toothy grin. He smiled after he took it, thinking how nice it would be to have something to look at during the day when he was so lonely.

Greed-ler chuckled. “You just love that thing don’t you? What time would you like to leave?” He leaned back into the couch and just stared at Once-ler. He was really a beautiful creature.

“Well you wanted us to leave in time for lunch, so whenever makes sense to you.” He smiled at the camera and nodded a little, however it wasn’t the camera he loved, but what it would provide him with.

“I suppose we could leave now so we can have more time later. What do you say?” Greed-ler was already on his feet, not even expecting no as an answer. He threw in a charming smile just because.

Once ler wished he could capture every beautiful face such as this, but Greedler would probably get agitated by it. He agreed, already resigned to doing what Greedler wanted. He quickly got shoes on and was ready to go, camera still in hand.

Once ler wished he could capture every beautiful face such as this, but Greedler would probably get agitated by it. He agreed, already resigned to doing what Greedler wanted. He quickly got shoes on and was ready to go, camera still in hand.

Greed-ler took Once-ler’s free hand and led him downstairs and into the limo. He opened the door for him then crawled in after he did. He sat next to Once-ler in silence.

The ride was quiet, much too quiet. He would have been thinking about the fact that they were leaving, but he was still so excited about pictures that he was in a good mood.

“Aren’t you going to talk to me?” Greed-ler turned to Once-ler and ran a hand through his hair. “I want you to be happy, baby.” He wasn’t too great at reading signals all the time.

“No no, I’m very happy… sorry I was just thinking about pictures and such and how I want to take so many of you,” Once ler said with a small smile. He hoped that he hadn’t worried Greedler at all.

“Y-you wanna take pictures of me? Why not take pictures of the scenery? There’s so much of it out here.” It almost embarrassed Greed-ler that Once-ler actually wanted to take pictures of him.

“But you’re so… handsome… and pretty soon I won’t get to see you much, so… it would be nice to have pictures of you to look at” Once ler said. He didn’t realize that he was embarrassing Greedler at all, and held the camera up to see if Greedler would pose for him.

Greed-ler looked at him with an unimpressed expression. “You’ll still see me. It’s not like I’m dying you know. Come see me during the day if you have to. Just please don’t bother me too much. I’ll have work to catch up on.”

“D-don’t worry I won’t be a bother,” he said. He brought the camera down and stared at it fondly, but a little sadly seeing as he was bothering Greedler a little already, he didn’t want to add on at all to the forming /mood/ he seemed to be in.

Greed-ler wrapped an arm around Once-ler and rubbed his shoulder with his thumb, but looked out the window. He was lost in thought about today and going home and going back to work.

Once ler sighed and snuggled into Greedler’s arms. Things felt… well really they felt awkward. It was hard to hold onto the joy of the trip when both of them knew what was coming… This made him cling tighter to Greedler.

“You’re going to cause me to lose circulation.” Greed-ler was sullen and not happy. He wanted anything to distract him from tomorrow and what it would bring them and their happiness.

“O-oh sorry about that,” Once ler said and pulled away sighing. He knew he was being overly clingy, but the way he felt was once they got back it would almost be like two friends visiting from distant states returning to their separate homes.

Greed-ler didn’t want to bring up the matter at all and soon the limo pulled up to yet another restaurant. Greed-ler stepped out of the car and kept the door open for Once-ler. He took him up to the hostess podium and she led them to a table in the back of the restaurant.

It was a little disappointing to be inside, Once ler liked being out where he could look at things, but then again all he wanted to look at was Greedler. He sat down and took up a menu, settling on a sandwich. “So… what do you want to look around at today?”

“It doesn’t really matter.” Greed-ler didn’t make eye contact with Once-ler as he decided what he wanted. He decided on a chicken breast sandwich, but kept staring at the menu so he didn’t have to look at Once-ler’s sad eyes.

Once ler bit his lip a little, and kept quiet, feeling the tense mood. It was clear that today was going to continue on like this, they would act like nothing was wrong when it was clear that there was. If Greedler was upset it would only make Once ler upset in turn. He frowned, but kept it hidden behind his menu.

The waitress came back to their orders. Greed-ler ended up just ordering a glass of water with his sandwich instead of any alcoholic beverage. He just wasn’t feeling up to it today.

They sat there in silence, neither looking at the other and it made Once ler itch. His whole body felt uncomfortable and he wanted to scream. He wished they could just enjoy this time instead of wasting it being upset like they were.

Greed-ler stole glances at Once-ler hoping he wouldn’t notice. He didn’t want to be sad yet. They still had reason to be happy. They still had an afternoon out here. “So, where do you wanna go after this?”

“Um… Well I really enjoying seeing the museum and everything the other day. We could do something like that” Once ler offered. His face softened a little at the offer, glad that Greedler made the first comment and that it wasn’t filled with negative emotions.

Greed-ler nodded. “We can do whatever you like.” Greed-ler tapped his fingers anxiously against the water glass, feeling like time was slipping away and they had to be home sooner than they really did.

“I think i’d enjoy that… I just want to do something where I’m spending time with you Greed,” he said softly. They could be cooped in the hotel, just staring at each other for hours and hugging all day and he’d be alright.

“Well, we have all day and then all night with the flight.” Greed-ler forced a smile, not even wanting to think about the flight. He sipped his water anxiously. He was on edge and couldn’t sit still.

Hearing it said only made it worse, he was trying to block it from his head, but when Greedler went out and said it he only felt more sad. He tried to suck it up, telling himself it wasn’t like one of them were dead or something… but it didn’t help. “Well I just want to do something that will make you happy”

“I want us to both be happy.” Greed-ler took Once-ler hand from across the table and squeezed it reassuringly. “I’ll still love you even when we get home. That’s not about to change.”

It made Once ler’s heart ache at the comment. He knew that Greedler loved him, he would always love him. It was more of a matter of how he showed it. Once ler really didn’t want to think about it. “I’ll be happy with anything as long as I’m with you”

Greed-ler smiled. “I know you’re sad. You don’t have to try and hide it. I’m sad too.” Greed-ler squeezed Once-ler’s hand softly. He wanted to push everything out of his head right now except for what was happening in that very moment.

Once ler smiled back a little. It was amazing how gentle Greedler could be, instead of snapping due to his mood he was being kind and understanding. “I’m sorry… I guess this trip has been /so/ wonderful that I’m just scared….” he said softly.

“Scared of what?” Greed-ler stroked the back of Once-ler’s hand with his thumb, afraid of the answer. He kind of knew what it would be along the lines of and he almost didn’t want to hear it.

“I’m scared what we’ll be returning to. We won’t see each other much and you’ll be doing work all the time that I can’t bother you about. I’ll just be sleeping all day. Then when you’re horny you’ll fuck and hurt me… and the magic is going to be gone,” he said.

Greed-ler bit his lip. “I wish I didn’t have to hurt you anymore, but I don’t know what else to do. Everything is just routine. There’s no time for it to be slow and sensual. There’s just no time…”

Once ler’s eyes were filling with tears and he bowed his head to hide it. Normal couples had time for each other,  and normal couples could go without abuse. He felt like Greed cared more about work than him.

“Don’t cry here. Please. I’ll take you out for a walk on the beach after this, ok? How does that sound?” Greed-ler was panicking. He didn’t want anyone seeing Once-ler cry like this.

Once ler sniffled and nodded his head a little. “That sounds good…. I didn’t know there was a beach nearby,” he said. He was upset that Greedler saw, apparently he wasn’t good at hiding things.

“It’s close enough to drive to. I just want you to be happy for the rest of your life. I hate seeing you cry.” Give or take at least, but Greed-ler wasn’t about to mention that to a crying boy.

He smiled at the thought of a beach, secluded with only him and Greedler, it was a little romantic. His face finally turned up to look at Greedler. “For the rest of my life?

“The rest of your life, baby.” Greed-ler smiled at him. The waitress arrived with their food and Greed-ler instantly began eating, not wanting to make much more conversation.

Once ler was filled with bubbling joy at Greedler’s romantic words. Once food arrived he was absorbed in eating but he still thought on the loving words, he hoped it were true, because it would be a wonderful truth.

Greed-ler ate quietly stole glances at Once-ler every once in a while. He smiled slightly and bounced his leg to no beat. He took glances every more often, almost wanting to make eye contact.

The meal was simple but just as delicious as anything he had eaten here. He kept his eyes on his food, not looking up, but then he got the feeling that he was being looked at. His eyes darted up and met with Greed.

Greed-ler smiled slightly. “I was hoping you’d look at me at some point.” He had finished his meal and took a sip from his glass and took out some money to pay for lunch.

“Sorry… I was distracted.” He felt bad for getting absorbed in the silence, it seemed they both did. But now they’d be going to the beach and holding hands and Once ler couldn’t be happier.

The waitress came back with the check and Greed-ler paid with a fair tip. “Are you ready to go?” He smiled at Once-ler and stop up, then offered him his hand. He was ready for some fresh air.

“I am indeed,” he said and took the gloved hand, ready for a gentle limo ride that would take him to the beach, and there would be more alone time. He was more than ready for that.

Greed-ler walked Once-ler outside and opened the door to the limo for him. He crawled in beside him and sat closer than he usually would after shutting the door behind them.

“So will the beach be like? Will there be lots of people swimming?” he asked. He was focused entirely on their walk, and wanted to picture exactly what it would be like.

“There’ll probably be a few people here. Even though it’s not all that warm out.” The limo pulled up at the beach and in fact, there were only a few people there. Greed-ler relaxed at the thought.

Once ler looked out excitedly. The nature was such a wonderful change, and it was amazing getting to be outside. He was practically forbidden from going out. He assumed that Greedler worried he’d run, when really the other was afraid what the pollution might do to Once ler. “It’s so pretty”

“Definitely.” Greed-ler got out and held out his hand to help out Once-ler. An unusual routine he’s developed over the past few days. He shut the door behind them and laced his fingers with Once ler’s.

He held onto Greed ler’s hand lovingly and was just enjoying the scenery. The water washed softly against the shores and Once ler was tempted to go out and play in it but he didn’t have the proper clothes. “Do you think the water is cold?”

“The ocean usually is.” Greed-ler looked past Once-ler out to the water. The sun was high in the sky and it was awfully hot. The water would feel great. Too bad he was in his full suit.

“I’m gonna test it out,” Once ler decided. He slipped out of his shoes and started to roll up his pants, ready to run out into the water. “Will you hold onto my shoes and socks for me.

Greed-ler smiled and held onto them. “Go ahead.” He followed behind Once-ler and sat on the beach as he went out into the water. He was such a cute little creature and he would be Greed-ler’s forever. That thought made him smile.

His pants would only go up to his knees so he couldn’t go out too far, but he still jumped through the water. It was cold and he giggled as he ran after a school of fish, trying to catch them. “They’re too fast!” Once ler laughed.

Greed-ler chuckled as he watched Once-ler. He was going to yell at him for getting to wet, but there was no point in being cruel on their last day in paradise. He just wanted to watch him have fun.

He tried catching the fish and would giggle madly any time he got close to one. He also stopped to pick up shells and such. Then there was a huge fish and Once ler stalked it quietly trying to get it. The second his hands dove into the water the fish darted away, but he actually touched it for a few moments, and ended up tripping and falling into the water, soaking himself through.

Greed-ler put a hand to his face and shook his head. He should’ve yelled at him. Now he’d just be soaking the whole way home. He stood up and began walking to the water. “Are you alright?”

Once ler emerged from the water, laughing and splashing about as he stood up, a huge grin was on his face. “Hahaha I almost had him Greed,” he laughed he stabilized himself. His grin turned down when he saw Greedler’s face, it looked judgmental.

“You’re going to be wet until we get home, you know.” Greed-ler took off his jacket in intention to let Once-ler use it to keep warm. It was all he could do for him right now. He wasn’t exactly happy with Once-ler.

Once ler laughed a little. “Yeah I know, but I had fun so it’s alright.. Oh I don’t want to get your jacket dirty you’ll need it for tonight,” Once ler said. He could see that Greedler was a little upset, but it had been an accident, so hopefully he wouldn’t get too angry.

“But you’ll get cold. Trust me.” Greed-ler bit his lip, just wanting Once-ler to get out of the water before he blew it. He backed up and just sat in the sand again, letting Once-ler take his time.

Once ler followed him out of the water, letting his clothes drip into the sand. “No really I feel fine, I’m not cold at all Greed, really I’m good,” One said. He was a little chilled but he didn’t want to be a bother.

“You have goosebumps though. I don’t have to wear my jacket to dinner anyway. It’s no big deal.” Greed-ler wrapped it around Once-ler’s shoulders and smiled, just wanting him to be warm.

It was true that he had been cold and the jacket did help a bit. “Thank you Greed, you know you really didn’t have to,” Once ler said smiling. He gave Greedler a kiss on his cheek in thanks.

Greed-ler gripped Once-ler’s shoulders and looked into his eyes. He kissed him lovingly, completely forgetting they were out in public. He just loved this boy so much it shouldn’t matter.

Once ler smiled, seeing that Greedler didn’t seem all that angry, or he was just trying very hard for him. “I’m sorry I got wet… But I had lots of fun. Thank you for taking me here,” he said happily.

“You’re very welcome.” Greed-ler took Once-ler’s hand and continued walking down the beach with him. At least they didn’t have to leave until later that evening. He wasn’t finished here.

Once ler smiled and rubbed his head against Greedler’s shoulder and then noticed something that made his eyes shoot open. He felt his head up and realized that his hat wasn’t there. “My hat… It’s not there,” Once ler said in a panic.

Greed-ler looked back and saw it had washed up on shore. He let go of Once-ler’s hand and ran to retrieve it. It was soaking wet. He went up to Once-ler and handed it to him. “You might not wanna put that on.”

Once ler sighed in relief and took it giving it a small hug. “Thank goodness, I was worried I had lost it for good,” he said. He kissed Greedler passionately a few times. “Thank you so much Greed, I don’t know what I would’ve done”

Greed-ler smiled. “We could’ve always bought you a new one. This one might be ruined now that it’s all wet.” He took Once-ler’s hand again, squeezing it tightly and looking at his feet.

Once ler looked down at his hat, horrified at the thought that it could be ruined. “You don’t think it could actually be ruined do you?” Once ler asked. He clutched his hat tightly praying that it was alright.

Greed-ler chuckled. “It should be fine. When we get home, we can blow dry it, alright?” He closed his eyes partway as they walked, lost in the moment and loving every bit of it.

Once ler smiled, glad that his hat would be alright. He noticed Greed’s eyes close and just lead his lover along the beach, staring out at the water and enjoying the weather, the day was indeed beautiful.

Greed-ler was breathing deeply, taking in all the exotic scents and how lovely everything was. Nothing was being said between them and that was alright. Nothing needed to be said.

Once ler felt as if he could walk forever along this beach, that it was just right for them to keep walking for eternity along the beach in this pleasant silence. His hands squeezed around Greedler’s lovingly.

Greed-ler squeezed Once-ler’s hand tight and smiled at him. He didn’t want to break the silence, but he wanted to say that he loved him. He was conflicted and figured silence for a bit longer would be ok.

Once ler rested his head on Greed ler’s as they continued their journey and he sighed pleasantly. By now they had walked so far that they were alone on the beach and the only sound was that of the water licking across the sand and waves in the far distance.

Greed-ler decided to break the silence. “Let’s sit for a while.” He sat down and took Once-ler down with him. He wished they had beaches back home so they could lie out and look at the stars every night.

Once ler came down with a little of and settled so he was laying against Greed ler, just staring out into the water. “This is really nice… I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a place like this before… so beautiful” Once ler said softly.

Greed-ler smirked. “It is beautiful. I wish I could take you to the beach more often. I wish we had one out home.” Greed-ler wrapped an arm around Once-ler and held him closely.

He snuggled back against Greed ler, feeling very safe and loved in those large arms. “Me too… I wish we had a lot of pretty things at home… But at least I have you,” he said with a small smile. It was lovely, but was only made so special since Greed ler was sharing the moment with him.

“I love you so much, Oncie.” Greed-ler kissed Once-ler’s temple and tried to hold him closer if it was possible. He sighed happily and watched the waves crash onto the shore.

“I love you Greed… I’ll always love you,” he said. He smiled at the kiss, happy to get Greed ler’s love and for it to be so gentle. He snuggled back against Greed ler, and brushed his hair in his face, giggling and wondering if it was tickling the other man.

Greed-ler chuckled and brushed Once-ler’s hair out of his face then just kept stroking it slowly. “I’ll always love you too. You’re perfect and you’re all I need.” Greed-ler closed his eyes and sighed happily.

“You’re the perfect one Greedie,” he said with a hum. Everything was perfect, so quiet and peaceful, as if the world was standing still and they were the only two on its surface. He was beyond content, so much so that he forgot it would have to end.

“You’re such a liar. I’m a horrible person.” Greed-ler turned Once-ler’s head toward him and looked into his eyes. “God, you are so beautiful.” He placed his lips on Once-ler’s gently.

Once ler kissed back but as soon as the kiss broke he was frowning. “You’re not horrible Greed…. Don’t say that… Please.. I love you and it hurts to hear you say things like that about yourself.”

“It’s true though. All I do is hit you.” Greed-ler sighed and stroked Once-ler’s cheek with his thumb. “You are too good for me, but I don’t know what I’d do without you. I can’t live without you.”

“Y-you can’t help it sometimes… I understand,” he said quietly, looking away. “But just look at us now! This is who you really are, not the… monster you sometimes turn into,” Once ler said with a smile. He knew that Greed ler couldn’t stop himself from acting violently, but he knew it wasn’t the true Greed.

“But…it is who I really am. What if this is just some cover up because I really do want to make you happy and I just can’t!” Greed-ler dropped his hands and looked away. “You’re too good for me.”

“No… This is who you are. You’re the sweet Greed that holds me and kisses me all night long. You dance with me and eat dinner with me and love me so much… So aren’t a bad guy, you’re my love,” he said passionately, tears were in his eyes as he spoke.

“You’re so completely perfect. I want to be that way all the time.” Greed-ler turned Once-ler’s head again. “Please don’t cry.” Greed-ler bit his lip and kissed Once-ler softly.

Once ler accepted the kiss and wrapped his arms around Greed ler. “I love you.. I love you so much,” he said in between each kiss, just repeating himself over and over. His hands moving and touching all over Greed ler’s face.

Greed-ler smiled slightly and accepted Once-ler’s kisses and his hands on his face. He loved just showing affection without it having to get sexual sometimes. Only sometimes though.

He cuddled his cheeks against Greed ler’s cheeks and giggled. “We should just stay here. Right here on this beach and never leave. Let’s just die here together. Stay together forever,” he murmured happily.

“You know I wish that could happen, baby. I love being here with you.” Greed-ler wrapped his arms around Once-ler and just held him while they were face to face. At least they could stay there all afternoon.

“You have all the money in the world… we could just retire here and build a house right here on this beach and every night we’d just come out and watch the water,” Once ler said, desperately weaving together a perfect dream reality.

“Maybe some day. When we go out of business.” Greed-ler looked out onto the water and realized it could happen one day and probably should. He just wanted to get old with Once-ler.

Once ler sighed a little and hoped Greed ler didn’t notice as he slumped a little. He said when they went out of business… but what if that never happened? What if the business’s life exceeded their own? Would Greed ler retire if the business was still running?

“Don’t look so down, baby.” Greed-ler rubbed one of Once-ler’s shoulders. “One day we’ll be old and live together out here in Paris or anywhere with a beach really. I just want to be with you.”

Once ler smiled a little, although he wasn’t entirely cheered up. They were only in their early twenties so ‘one day’ wasn’t for a while. He held Greed ler’s hand tightly, scared of the moment slipping away.

“I’m not gonna disappear.” Greed-ler smirked and rubbed Once-ler’s hand with his thumb. He looked over at Once-ler and just watched him. He was such a gorgeous creature.

Once ler nodded, “I know… but i’m afraid that this will.” He indicated to the beach and the trip as a whole. He clung to Greed ler. “Can we freeze time forever… I don’t need anything but you… i don’t care if no one loved me but you,” he ranted.

“It will have to disappear. I can’t make time stand still, baby.” Greed-ler held him close. “I’m sorry I can’t make this stay forever.” Greed-ler sighed and listened to the waves crash.

Once ler looked out into the ocean sadly, it was too painful to think about leaving. Then Once ler shook his head and pouted. “Well then… i refuse to leave. Im just going to stay here and wont move” Once ler said.

Greed-ler looked over at him. “What on earth are you talking about?” Greed-ler would definitely drag Once-ler off the beach if it killed him. He wasn’t about to take his childishness.

“I’m just going to sit here. I refuse to leave, and you can’t make me. And if I don’t go then you won’t go and we’ll have to stay here forever,” Once ler said. He wasn’t being entirely serious, but part of him felt that he could stay here a long time, past their flight anyways.

“We have to leave tonight. You are being completely irrational!” Greed-ler was beginning to get frustrated and took deep breaths, trying to keep himself from slapping Once-ler and dragging him off the beach.

“But… why do we /have/ to go back? What harm would another few days, a week or even a month do to the company? There are other people who can keep a hold on it,” Once ler said. He was actually serious about this. It wasn’t like the business would crumble without Greed ler present.

“I need to do my own work. It’s /my/ business. I don’t anyone else going in and screwing it up.” Greed-ler looked back out onto the ocean and sighed, still trying to keep calm.

“You were willing to leave it for this long. What does a little longer hurt? No one’s going to screw anything up!” Once ler said, raising his voice a little. He was frustrating, feeling that Greed ler cared more about work then spending time with him.

Greed-ler sighed and rubbed his temples. “This was purely business. That’s why we’re here.” He held Oncie close. “I wish we could stay, but don’t start getting defensive with me.”

Once ler looked in the opposite direction and mumbled a little angrily to himself. Just business huh? That sure made him feel loved. He sighed and turned back to Greed ler. “I’m sorry,” he said quietly.

“I am too.” Greed-ler closed his eyes and sighed. He just wanted to make Once-ler as happy as possible. It wasn’t fair that he couldn’t do anything right just to make the boy as happy as possible.

Once ler was quiet. He was upset at Greed ler for being so obsessed with his business, but a part of him knew that he loved Once ler most, which made him feel bad for being angry. Once ler shivered a little, by now he had soaked Greed ler’s jacket threw and the small breeze made him feel cold.

“I suppose we need to get you home and get you changed before we go out for an early dinner and to the tower.” Greed-ler stood up and helped Once-ler up and started walking up the other end of the beach.

The walk back was not nearly as magical as the one before. It was quiet, but not in the way before. Once ler’s teeth chattered, but besides that it was silent. Once ler would clutch at the jacket in hopes for warmth, but it didn’t help much.

Greed-ler wrapped an arm around Once-ler, trying to keep him warm. He felt bad and didn’t even mind that his sleeve was getting soaked. “I’m really sorry, baby. I wish we could stay here forever.”

“It’s alright… It’s not your fault,” Once ler said, his teeth clicking. After twenty minutes or so they were back at the parking lot that they had arrived at and the limo was waiting for them. Once ler climbed in and felt a little bad knowing he was getting the seats wet.

Greed-ler took one of Once-ler’s hands and rubbed it with his thumb. He wanted to see what would really happen when they finally got home. He didn’t want anything to go wrong or foul.

The ride wasn’t too long and then they were back at the hotel and Once ler was doing his best to move about without getting wet. Once at the room he rushed into the restroom and whined as he stripped the clothing off. His sick was wet and clammy underneath.

Greed-ler went out to the balcony to have a cigar before he lost it. He lit up and took long, slow drags. This would hopefully help him calm down before Once-ler came out of the bathroom.

He changed into semi-clean clothes, but still felt chills and a bit achy. He kind of just threw all the damp clothes in a pile in the bathroom. He went out and found Greed ler. “What sh-should I do with the wet clothes?” he asked.

“Just leave them in the bathroom to dry.” Greed-ler put out his cigar and flicked the butt. “Do you wanna leave for dinner soon?” He tried to put on his best fake smile when really he was just angry and sad.

“Sure, sounds good. I’m pretty hungry,” he said smiling back. He rubbed at his arms trying to get rid of all the goosebumps that refused to leave his skin. Once ler wasn’t fooled by Greed ler’s smile, the fact he was smoking was already a dead give away that he was tense.

Greed-ler wrapped his arm around Once-ler again, seeing as he was still cold. He led him downstairs and outside to the limo. He sat extremely close to Once-ler and sighed heavily.

Once ler snuggled close against Greed ler and smiled as he was slowly getting warmed up. The warmth was making him feel tired and he closed his eyes, nodding off a little on Greed ler’s shoulder.

Greed-ler smiled and finally woke Once-ler up when the ride was over and they were at the restaurant. “Good morning, baby. We’re here.” He leaned away from him to open the door. He got out then helped Once-ler out.

Once ler was still in a hazy mood so he sleepily stepped out and looked up at the restaurant and smiled. “Mmm I’m so hungry,” he yawned. He let Greed ler lead them inside, and they were placed at a table. He propped his head up with his hands and smiled at Greed ler. “This place is nice,” he mumbled.

“Well, it’s not as fancy as some of the other places, but it’s still nice.” Greed-ler smiled and looked into Once-ler’s eyes getting lost. “Your eyes are so incredible. They’re like a bow on a present.”

Once ler giggled at Greed ler and hid his face in his hands. “Stop it! You’re being so silly,” he laughed. He peaked out from between a few fingers and smiled out at Greed ler, glad that he was in a good mood.

“You’re acting like such a child and it’s cute when you’re sleeping.” Greed-ler chuckled and pulled one of Once-ler’s hands away so he could hold it. He stroked his thumb with it lovingly.

“You’re just trying to make me happy so you can get plane sex. And let me tell you sir, not gonna happen,” he said yawning. Once ler was a little out of it, still trying to wake up. Luckily though he wasn’t being loud, so no one was paying attention to his childish mood.

“Well, I wasn’t considering it, but now I kind of am.” Greed-ler smirked, showing his teeth. It actually wasn’t that bad of an idea. It was at least a 10 hour flight and he wasn’t gonna sit around and get drunk like last time.

Once ler shook his head. “N-nope as soon as we get there I am going to sleep. No sex for you,” he giggled. He smiled and laughed at Greed ler’s eager expression, enjoying his attempts to tease the other man by denying him.

“You’re always sleeping. I’m afraid you’ll go into a coma and I won’t know.” Greed-ler chuckled and held Once-ler’s hand tighter. He wished he could sleep like Once-ler could. He always looked so happy when he was asleep.

“I don’t sleep /that/ much… Only when I’m tired! And… I’m only tired at night and in the morning and sometimes in the afternoons… but that’s all,” he smiled. He squeezed Greed ler’s hand back and yawned again. “Mmm I don’t know why I’m so tired”

“Because you’re always tired, baby.” Greed-ler chuckled again and looked back into his eyes. The waitress came over and asked for their drink orders. Greed-ler ordered a cola this time.

Once ler just ordered a water, not wanting the sugar otherwise he wouldn’t be able to get any sleep. “I haven’t been tired /this/ early though. Are we going to have to pack or will your… people take care of it?” he asked, thinking about how much time they had and wanting to maximize time at the tower, even though it wouldn’t be as late so it probably wouldn’t be lit.

“I can have some people do it. I wish you would’ve gotten something with caffeine. I get so lonely when you’re asleep.” Greed-ler just kept staring at his eyes, not being able to look away.

“Mmm you could get me a coffee or something before we go… Or maybe take some sleeping pills or something? I wonder if they would work?” he thought out loud. He hummed and looked through the menu, more tired than hungry so he wasn’t sure what to order.

Greed-ler knew they didn’t work. They just made him stoned and he didn’t like that. He would just let Once-ler speak because he knew he was tired. “I’ll buy you a coffee, ok?”

“Mmm-kay sounds good,” he murmured. He found a section with traditional home styled foods and saw a picture of what looked like a basic pot-pie. It looked warm and good and even though it wasn’t very fancy Once ler wanted it.

Greed-ler looked at his own menu and decided on some French onion soup. They were in France after all. “What did you decide on?” He looked up at Once-ler who was fairly fixated on the menu.

“Mmm a pot pie, I’m still a little cold and I think it might help. What about you?” he asked. The waitress came back at that point with drinks before Greed ler could answer and was asking for what they wanted for dinner.

Greed-ler smiled and turned to the waitress and ordered the soup. He turned back to Once-ler and took a sip from his drink. The carbonation felt good on his insides and he finally began to relax a bit more.

With help from the picture in the menu Once ler ordered his pot pie. He sipped from his water and smiled at Greed ler. “So what time are we gonna get home tomorrow… It’s hard with all the weird time differences.”

Greed-ler thought for a moment. “I’m not even sure. I don’t understand the time differences either. It should be daylight though.” He knew Once-ler would sleep on the flight now with being jet lagged.

“Mmm okay… I’ll stay awake with you, but I want to try and sleep during normal bed time, so I don’t get out of whack for when we get back,” Once ler said. He knew it was 7 when they left but had no idea what time it was at home.

“You mean that?” Greed-ler lit up a bit. “What will we do on the plane then?” He smirked again, showing his teeth and chuckled, thinking of just a few things that might keep him entertained.

“Um… Well I could draw… maybe but I don’t have anything to draw with… We could just talk or something. Does your plane not have movies or anything?” Once ler asked.

“Not exactly.” Greed-ler twiddled his thumbs. He really wished Once-ler hadn’t mentioned plane sex. They hadn’t been doing that too much though. Not as much as usual at least.

“Hmm… Well talking will be nice then, and maybe I could take more pictures of you,” Once ler said, smiling at the thought of more pictures. He was a bit too brain dead to realize that this remark about plane sex had taken an effect on Greed ler.

“I know some things you could take pictures of, but I can’t tell you now. You can definitely take more pictures before we leave though.”

Once ler smiled eager and let out an excited noise. “Really? Oh thank you Greed,” he said happily. If they weren’t in public he’d be covering the man in kisses.

Greed-ler chuckled. “You’re too adorable.” He leaned back in his chair and just looked Once-ler up and down. He’d definitely have his way. It was more like a compromise anyway.

Once ler was all giggly and drunk on lack of sleep, indeed if anything was going to be done that night he was going to need a strong coffee. He poked his feet into Greed ler’s legs childishly and laughed.

“My, you’re quite loopy this evening.” Greed-ler chuckled and took one of Once-ler’s hand, trying to convince him reality was still here. It was interesting seeing him like this, but things might get messy in public.

“Mmm I don’t think so, I think you’re wrong. I’m as normal as ever… Mhmm,” he said. His eyes began to droop a little and he yawned again. “I think I might actually need that coffee sooner than later,” he said.

“We can order it here if you like.” When the waitress came back with their food, Greed-ler order Once-ler a coffee. He needed him to stay awake as best he could because they still had to go to the tower.

Once ler smiled and thanked her for the food and Greed ler for the coffee. Then he dug into his meal, warm and comforting, although it didn’t help the fact that he was tired. He could fall asleep at any moment if he wanted to but he was trying hard to stay awake for Greed ler.

Greed-ler began eating slowly and watching Once-ler. He’d definitely fall asleep soon with how fast he was eating, but he was cute when he slept so that was a bonus when he finally did sleep.

Luckily the coffee arrived shortly after it was ordered and Once ler worked on drinking as much of it as he could. A few minutes it kicked in and he was feeling much more lively. “Mmm sorry about that Greed, the beach really wore me out”

“I understand. I’m just glad that you’re drinking this to wake you up.” Greed-ler smiled and kept eating his soup. He supposed he’d better hurry up so they had max time at the tower.

Once ler smiled and got to work on his food. It was a rather small dish, more of a lunch time size serving so he finished rather fast and just spent the rest of the time watching Greed ler eat.

Greed-ler smiled up at him and finished. The waitress came back with the bill and Greed-ler paid with a hefty tip. He sighed happily and looked up at Oncie. “You ready to go?”

“Mmm yeah, I want to make sure we get there before it’s too late… and maybe if it’s light out enough we can get a picture,” he said. That would be the place to get it too, the tower had been such a memorable spot

“Even if it does get dark, there’s still all the lights and the camera does have a flash.” Greed-ler stood up and took Once-ler’s hand and helped him out of his chair then laced their fingers together.

Once ler smiled, happy that Greed ler was so optimistic about it. “You’re right. Let’s go,” he said. They left the restaurant and headed to the tower for the last time, it was a bit sad, but Once ler wanted to make the most of it.

Greed-ler looked over at Once-ler and smiled sadly. “I love you. That won’t change even when we leave.” He looked at his feet as they walked, not wanting to think about where they had to go after this.

Once ler squeezed Greed ler’s hand and replied with an “I love you too.” He stared up at the tower and thought fondly on their time here. The sun was setting so it wasn’t lit but it was just as beautiful.

“Let’s stay until the lights come on, ok?” Greed-ler just stood with Once-ler looking up at the tower. It was magnificent, especially in the sunset. It was still prettier at night though.

“Will we have time for that? I thought the flight was at 7 PM tonight… I don’t think it would be dark by then…” Once ler said sadly. He liked it best lit as well but he didn’t know if it was possible for them to wait that long.

“We can try, ok?” Greed-ler was hopeful that it would come on before them. He just wanted this one last thing before they left. He wished that every day could be like this though. He truly did.

Once ler nodded his head but didn’t say anything, he didn’t want to break Greed ler’s heart with the reality that it probably wasn’t going to happen. “While we wait would you like to get some pictures?”

Greed-ler smiled slightly. “Let’s do it and I’d love to dance some more too. Just pose me however you like, ok?” He let go of Once-ler’s hand and let him do as he pleased with posing.

Once ler blushed a little, “Pose you? I just want a nice one of us standing there. I don’t want to move you around, that’s just silly” he laughed. He took out the camera from his pocket and stared at it, wishing they had more than just the few there were”

Greed-ler chuckled. “Let’s take a lot then, ok? I want you to have as many pictures as possible.” Greed-ler took Once-ler’s hand and led him closer to the tower. It was really incredible.

“It might get boring if it’s a lot of pictures of the same thing. I’m not sure how to make it more interesting then just smiling.” He did indeed want lots, but he was shy and not very creative as to how to make the pictures more interesting

“I might have a few ideas. We just have to pose differently. Like make ourselves look more eccentric and exciting.” Greed-ler was getting a little excited about this. He loved it when Once-ler was happy though.

“Haha me eccentric or exciting? Maybe you, but I don’t think that /I/ could pull it off very well. I could always just take lots of pictures of you” he said. He wondered what Greed ler had in mind for the pictures.

“But I want some with both of us. It’ll be more fun that way.” He wasn’t about to object to getting his picture taken especially if Once-ler was the one taking it of him. He smiled slightly.

“I’m not sure that I can look as good as you, but I’ll try my best,” he said giggling. They got to a spot that many people took pictures from, but because of the time there weren’t many left. He held the camera up, “Smile.”

Greed-ler smiled wide, feeling truly happy that Once-ler was getting his pictures. Even if there had been some faults throughout the trip, everything had gone fairly perfect. He wanted to live here with Once-ler one day.

Once ler took a few pictures to ensure that he didn’t end up with one where Greed ler had blinked or anything. “So how should we get the ones together? I’d feel rude to make someone wait around while we take lots.”

Greed-ler took the camera. “I have a fun idea. Just smile. Greed-ler kissed Once-ler on the cheek and took the picture. He looked at it afterward and smiled. “You’re so cute.”

Once ler blushed and stuck his tongue out. “I can’t help smiling and getting all happy if you’re kissing me. You’re very sweet to me.” He kissed Greed ler on the cheek in return.

“Would you like to dance for a bit before we take more?” Greed-ler hoped he’d say yes so he could think of more ideas while they danced. He held out his hand, hoping he would take it.

“I couldn’t say no to that face could I?” he said. He joined and they slow danced back and forth to a silent evening breeze. Once ler buried his face into Greed ler’s chest, feeling a little like crying.

Greed-ler held him close. “Are you crying?” He wouldn’t mind if he was. He felt like crying himself. The magic would be gone after tonight and the thought broke his heart.

“No… but I feel like it… I might start” Once ler said sadly. He held onto Greed ler as tightly as possible, trying to force his way into Greed ler, so they could never part.

Greed-ler held him as close as possible. “If you cry, I’m gonna start too.” He swayed with Once-ler slowly, trying to keep his mind on dancing. He hummed a soft tune that was nothing in particular.

“I’ll try my best not too… But… I don’t think I can leave here… I-i could barely leave the beach but here… No… no I can’t do it, I won’t do it,” he said, he did start crying this time, large heavy sobs into Greed ler’s jacket.

“Y-you have to stay strong. I’ll still love you even when we get home. I-I prose, baby.” Greed-ler rubbed Once-ler’s back and kept swaying, trying to get him to calm down.

“Don’t make me leave, I won’t go Greed. I won’t!” he cried. He held tighter still onto Greed ler, desperate and unwilling to get rid of the wonderful thing they had here. “It won’t be the same at home… Don’t make me go.”

“I have to make you go home. Not right now though. Just relax and enjoy what we have right now.” Greed-ler began humming again and rubbing Once-ler’s back slower and gentler.

Once ler’s back shook as he continued to cry and hold onto Greed ler, although he had stopped his demands and his crying had quieted down. He ached to stay so badly, more than anything.

Greed-ler sighed sadly, unable to make Once-ler feel any better. He was happy with himself that he had not cried, but he still wanted to. Nothing was really stopping him but his pride.

Once ler looked up at Greed ler, his eyes were red and his cheeks swollen from tears. “Are things going to be the same as before when we get back… Tell me the truth,” he said, his voice choking in his throat.

Greed-ler smiled slightly. “No. I am going to make time for you. I’ll put work aside and put you first. I’ll still be working, just less than usually. I’ll take you on dates and we’ll go dancing all you want.”

Once ler stared up into his eyes, trying to find if they were telling the truth or not, did he mean it? “How long will that last for…? A week? a month? I… I just… after feeling all this, I don’t think I could go back to how things were”

“It’ll last for as long as I can make it last, ok?” Greed-ler sighed, unable to promise an exact date because he didn’t even know himself if he could keep it up for that long.

Once ler’s throat felt thick and dry, when he breathed it felt like sandpaper was rubbing together and his eyes threatened to spill again. “O-o-okay,” he stuttered.

Greed-ler sighed shakily, feeling like he was about to cry. “I’ll always love you though. Don’t ever forget that.” He squeezed Once-ler tight and kept swaying slightly to the beat of the music.

“I know Greed… I’ll always love you too…. But it’s going to hurt if I can’t spend time with you everyday…. I can’t go back to going days without seeing you… days spent all alone…” Once ler said.

“I’ll promise to visit you everyday. You won’t go one day without seeing you. I promise.” Greed-ler’s breathing picked up and he let a few tears spill out of his eyes. He felt the wetness on his cheek and gasped softly.

Once ler started crying again when he felt Greed ler start to cry, it was too much for him to handle. “But what if someday you forget or have a meeting that goes too long, and then one missed day becomes two and before long things go back.”

“D-don’t speak like that.” Greed-ler sniffled and wiped his face. “And we should both stop crying. There’s no sense in it. We still have a few hours anyway. Do you want to take more pictures?”

“I don’t know… I just want to be with you… I don’t care what we do,” Once ler said softly. He felt upset at himself for ruining the last of their time. He sighed, trying to calm himself down, he wanted to be happy for these last hours.

“I’ll be with you the whole time we’re here. Don’t worry.” Greed-ler just wanted to keep dancing with Once-ler. He wanted them to stay happy until they landed back home,

Once ler nodded over and over, knowing it was true, knowing he had Greed ler all to himself right now. “I’m sorry…. I messed up our night” he said quietly, hoping Greed ler wasn’t terribly angry.

“You did not. You’re done crying right?” He put his finger under Once-ler’s chin, having him look up at him. “You’re so cute.” Greed-ler kissed him with passion, not caring who saw.

Once ler smiled and almost started crying due to happiness at the kiss. It had so much love that it was overwhelming. He felt that maybe, just maybe everything would be okay. He kissed Greed ler again and again.

Greed-ler let him and returned every kiss. His hands held Once-ler closer and closer with each kiss. He loved him and he loved this. There was nothing getting in their way right now.

Once ler’s mouth ached from smiling and he never wanted to stop kissing Greedler. He wanted to feel this bubbly sort of love forever. “I love you more than anything you know that?”

“I kind of figured.” Greed-ler smiled and kissed Once-ler once again. “I love you more than anything too. I’d take a bullet for you and I honestly mean that. I wanna give you everything.”

Once ler frowned a little. “That wouldn’t be fair, you’d die and leave me alone? That would be torture… But I understand what you’re saying. I’m not very useful, but I’d do anything for you”

“You’d find someone else who doesn’t beat you. You’re plenty useful. Without you, I’d die a lonely old man. You give me something to live for, you know.” Greed-ler began swaying with Once-ler again.

Once ler frowned more. “You think I could find someone else? Who the hell do you think I am? I’m you… and no one but myself can love me this way. Without you I’d have the same fate you would:

“You’re better than I am. You could find anyone. If you didn’t, that would be everyone else’s fault for not snagging up someone as special as you.” Greed-ler smiled sweetly.

“Don’t say things like that… You are so incredible. You actually became rich and famous, something I never did. You are beautiful and everyone adores you… Stop belittling yourself so much”

“But you would become rich and famous one day. In just 3 years.” Greed-ler smiled again. “I only belittle myself because it’s true. You truly are an incredible person.”

“No.. no stop it! You’re amazing Greed. You’re everything I’ve always wanted to be. I admire you so much, all the hard work you do and all the things you’ve accomplished,” he said, his voice filled with passion.

Greed-ler smiled brightly this time. “You’re perfect and I love you.” He kissed him again with just as much passion as before. He really did love this boy with all his heart.

Once ler smiled widely and accepted all the love he was being given. “I love you Greed, I love you more than anything. More than all the marshmallows and pancakes and everything else I love put together.”

Greed-ler kissed Once-ler’s nose. “I love you more than everything else in the world. You are my number one and I will always try and put you first even if other things get in the way.”

“You had better… Or I’ll do something to sabotage your company…. Like put blue dye in the thneed makers. Imagine, all your thneeds… blue,” he said. His tone was rather childish, kidding completely about all of it.

Greed-ler chuckled. “I’m sure some people wouldn’t mind, but the business would definitely suffer.” He hugged Once-ler tight and sighed, contently. He was so happy right now.

He smiled and snuggled into the hug. Some how Greed ler could always make things better, even him crying like they were going to die. “You’re just too amazing… I don’t think it’s possible”

“Possible for me to be so amazing? I currently do try my best. I know I mess up and hurt you sometimes, but I love you even when I’m drunk and hitting you. I promise you that.”

Once ler stared up at him, his eyes full of wonder. “Even when I upset you so much, and make you so angry? Even then?” he asked. It was a little hard to believe.

“Of course. You could never permanently upset me.” Greed-ler kissed his forehead and down the side of his face, finally kissing his lips. He couldn’t stop himself.

Once ler was smiling so much it was hurting and all the kissing was making him giggle which only made him smile harder. He hugged Greed ler tightly and looked up at him, “I love you even when you’re hitting me too, even when you leave me alone.”

Greed-ler chuckled softly. “I wish I could control my anger so I never had to hit you again. Maybe I should take anger management or something. I just love you so much.”

The thought of him taking a class like that was unbelievable, he couldn’t imagine that Greed ler could get past his pride to do something like that. “I love you Greed, and I want to do the best I can to help…”

Greed-ler smiled slightly. “I’m sure you could help me more than those classes ever could though.” He began swaying with Once-ler again to the music. He hummed along quietly.

He rested his head back against Greed ler’s chest and listened to the music. “Will you have to go to work straight away when we get back tomorrow? Or will we have some time together?” he asked.

“We’ll have a bit of time together. I don’t have to start until the day after. So don’t be so upset about us leaving, ok? Things won’t be any different. I’ll even take you out to dinner if you want.”

“That sounds good… I’m sorry for being such a child or whatever. I guess I’m so scared that I’m going to lose you or something. I’m sorry,” he said shyly.

“I understand how scared you are. I’d be scared too if I was in your position.” Greed-ler held him closer and stroked his hair. “You haven’t ruined anything at all in this vacation.”

“You haven’t ruined anything either Greed… This has all been so wonderful. I’m glad that you made me come with, I can’t imagine if I hadn’t come with and had just been home this whole time, and we missed out on all of this”

“You would’ve been so lonely too, baby. I didn’t want you to be left along for all these days. I would’ve been too lonely too.” Greed-ler closed his eyes slowly and stroked Once-ler’s hair.

“I don’t even want to think about everything I would’ve missed…. This trip has just sort of… re-boosted our relationship… Hopefully that doesn’t sound silly or anything,” he laughed.

“Not at all. It really is true though. We’re a lot better off than we were before and I’ve never said I love you so much in a short period of time.” Greed-ler looked up at the sky and saw the sun set more.

Once ler bit his lip as he smiled, over joyed that Greed ler felt the same about it. “What time is it?” he asked softly. The answer wasn’t going to be pleasant but he wanted to know never the less.

Greed-ler checked his watch and frowned. “It’s about 6…We should probably get going soon. I don’t think we’ll be able to see the tower lit up before we go…” Greed-ler sighed.

Once ler’s arms tightened around Greed ler, he knew he’d have to accept it, but it didn’t make it any harder to face. “I-i understand,” he said, both nodding and trying to smile, but fighting back tears at the same time.

Greed-ler took Once-ler’s hand and began walking away from the tower, back to where the limo was parked. He was walking slow and he had his head hanging. He didn’t want to leave.

Once ler’s arms were shaking and he kept his eyes on the tower, tears began to fill his eyes again but he kept quiet, not wanting to upset Greed ler. As they moved further and further Once ler just got more upset.

Greed-ler opened the door for Once-ler and slid in after him. “Go ahead and cry. I know how want to.” Greed-ler sighed and held him even before he started bawling.

Once ler settled into Greed ler’s arms upset knowing that they wouldn’t be going to the tower again or to little french restaurants and that they couldn’t see it lit up again. His tears fell out and he clutched tightly to Greed ler

Greed-ler felt himself starting to cry again. He held onto Once-ler equally as tight and sobbed. “I can’t take this, Oncie. I don’t wanna go home either. It’s not fair. But I promise you that one day we’ll live here when we’re old.”

Once ler nodded and continued to cry. It was hard for the couple because in a sense, this trip represented all the wonderful things of their relationship, so it ending felt like a stab to their love. “I just want to spend everyday with you” he hiccuped.

“We’re spending more time with each other until we get home.” Greed-ler tried to regain his composure and rubbed Once-ler’s back, soothingly. He started to hum the same tune that was playing at the tower.

Once ler starting breathing deeply in and out, letting all the stress go and calming the crying. He looked up at Greed ler and smiled thankfully. “How did /I/ end up with you,” he asked out loud. Greed ler was so handsome even with his eyes glassy from crying.

Greed-ler smiled slightly. “I’m glad it happened because I love you and I don’t imagine myself with anyone else. You are the only one for me and that will never change. I just wanna hold you forever.”

“You could just bring your work to bed, so then I could lay on your lap and sleep while you do business things,” Once ler offered. Although he knew it wasn’t a good idea because he’d just end up distracting Greed ler from the things he needed to get done.

Greed-ler nodded. “That might work, actually. I mean…we can certainly try it.” He stroked Once-ler’s hair softly and continued humming. He just wanted to stop talking for now.

Once ler didn’t really want to think about them being forced to thinking up crazy plans in order to spend time with each other, so he quieted down and just enjoyed the attention, his head laying in Greed ler’s lap.

Greed-ler kept humming and continued to stroke Once-ler’s hair. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat, wanting to just stay there with Once-ler like this for the rest of his life.

The limo made it to a space where his personal plane waited. The driver got out and took his luggage from the back and loaded it into the plane. “Mmm carry me?” Once ler asked.

Greed-ler opened the door and carried Once-ler out of it and onto the plane. Greed-ler brought him into the back bedroom on the plane and lay him down. He then lay next to him and smiled.

Once ler giggled a little as he was carried, it made him feel like a small child, safe in Greed’s arms. After he was set down he snuggled into the covers to get comfortable, although he wasn’t tired at all due to the coffee.

Greed-ler smiled and held him close. “Will you stay up with me for a bit? I don’t want you to sleep.” He stroked Once-ler’s hair again and smiled then kissed him head softly.

“Don’t worry, I’m not sleepy. I have all the energy in the world,” he giggled. He snuggled against Greed ler and smiled. He indeed was quiet awake, but for when he did grow tired, he’d want to be in this exact spot.

“What do you wanna do during the plane ride?” Sex was still on his mind even though everything was becoming sentimental and peaceful. He just couldn’t help himself when Once-ler was in such a vulnerable state.

“Anything you’d like really, as long as we can just stay in here. I don’t want to leave.” He was getting a little warm under the covers so he started to strip out of his regular clothing and threw things off the side to the floor.

Greed-ler smiled. “Are you already getting ready for me?” He chuckled and kissed Once-ler’s ear then his cheek and neck then to his lips and kissed him with passion and longing.

Once ler blushed a little and his kiss back was not as passionate, he had not been thinking anything naughty so he was caught a little off guard. “Oh, um… do you want to?” he asked.

“You suggested it at dinner, but you said you were just kissing. It hasn’t left my mind though.” Greed-ler began to kiss Once-ler again and moved their lips in sync slowly. He moaned softly.

Greed ler’s actions and moans caused him to tremble and grow aroused.  He clutched onto Greed ler’s chest and sighed, trying not to get turned on, trying so hard, but failing.

Greed-ler chuckled. “Are you ok, baby?” He pushed a hand up to Once-ler’s crotch and felt his excitement. He smirked wide and began kissing him again and rubbing his crotch.

He shook his head and tried to push Greed ler off of him. “N-no, I said no sex on the plane,” he said, weakly trying to resist. He didn’t know how Greed ler was able to turn him on so much.

“But you need this, baby or you’re gonna hurt.” Greed-ler frowned slightly. Greed-ler back up a bit and took his hands away, not touching Once-ler in any way.

It was indeed too late and Once ler had already started to get hard. He whimpered and looked at Greed ler, now desperate for touches, but too embarrassed to ask after just denying him.

“Make up your mind. Use your words and tell me what you want.” Greed-ler hated having to talk to him like a 3-year-old, but sometimes it was really the only way to communicate.

He looked away from Greed ler’s eyes and sighed, collecting his words. “I’d like to continue,” he said shyly. He didn’t mean to be such a hassle, but there were times he was too shy to ask for what he wanted.

“I like it when you tell me what you want.” Greed-ler kissed Once-ler’s cheek and began working on Once-ler’s pants. He kissed him again and again, moving their lips in sync.

Once ler blushed a little. “I’m sorry I get so shy, I’ll try to do better about telling you what I want,” he said. He moaned and his boxers got tighter around him.

“I really appreciate it when you do. You know I’ll always give you what you want.” Greed-ler yanked off Once-ler’s pants and rubbed him through his boxers, smirking slightly.

“I-i’m sorry Greedy,” he moaned. He was now nearly naked whereas Greedler was still completed clothed above him. “Let me help you dress down”

Greed-ler smiled. “Well, thank you.” He started pulling off Once-ler’s boxers and let him take off of him whatever he wanted to. He was in total control right now.

Once ler knew that once sex was over he was going to want to snuggle Greed ler, and he enjoyed touching skin to skin so everything came off and fell to mix with his clothes.

“Do you wanna do this yourself or do you want my help to get me naked?” Greed-ler smirked. He preferred having Once-ler do it, but if he helped it would be faster. However, it was up to Once-ler.

“If you wouldn’t mind unbuttoning your shirt, that would be a big help,” Once ler said. He laid back into bed and stared up at Greed ler, letting him remove the rest of his clothing. Anyways he wanted the energy for the events to come.

Greed-ler stripped himself down and looked down at Once-ler then began kissing him gently. He pressed him knee into Once-ler’s crotch and moved their lips in sync slowly.

Once ler ground gently into Greed ler’s knee, the friction against his penis was amazing. He brought his own hands up to Greed ler to run across his naked body, so smooth and beautiful, as they kissed.

Greed-ler smiled slightly into the kiss and ran his hand down Once-ler’s stomach to his penis. He held it, but did nothing else. He moaned softly into the kiss and waited for Once-ler to beg.

His hips squirmed about trying to force friction, but Greed ler’s hand moved just perfectly so that he failed to get anything. He let out a frustrated groan and stared up. “I need more,” he moaned.

Greed-ler smirked and grabbed the lube from the bedside table drawer. and handed it to Once-ler. “You get to do it this time. I want you to get everything set like a good boy.”

He blushed a little, but nodded in agreement. He squirted a good amount into his hands and then grabbed ahold of Greed ler’s dick which was starting to harden a little, and started to pump. The other hand was also oiled up and started stretching himself.

Greed-ler closed his eyes partway so he could look at Once-ler’s red little face. “You’re so cute.” He chuckled and leaned down to kiss him softly. The kiss lasted a bit too long.

Once ler was moaning softly into the kiss. His breathing was picking up from the anal stimulation he was giving himself and the feeling of Greed ler hardening in his hands, he was turned on due to so many things. His own penis rising without anything touching it.

Greed-ler moaned softly into response to Once-ler’s. He touched his penis gently at the head and played with it with his fingers, trying to get him more worked up than he was if that was possible.

Once ler was moaning more intensely no and was squirming underneath of Greed ler. The touches were working him up more and making him go insane. “Mmmm Greedy, yes yes yes”

Greed-ler’s breathing was heavy and he spread Once-ler’s legs and lifted them up a bit. “Are you ready for this?” He began rubbing his penis against Once-ler’s entrance, waiting for his ok.

“Always ready for you,” he said with a smile. For a moment his emotions ran deep and he felt so in love with Greed ler, just the fact that now Greed would ask for permission, it made him feel amazing.

Greed-ler pushed into him quickly, trying to make it easier. He moaned softly and thrust quickly. He held onto Once-ler’s hands and smiled, looking deep into his big blue eyes.

The speed of it made him gasp a little, but his body soon adjusted to its familiar resident. He thrusted back again Greed ler in a steady rhythm. His eyes were locked on Greed ler’s and he was just smiling back at his lover.

“I love you,” Greed-ler whispered. He thrust into Once-ler deepening, hoping to fill them both with maximum pleasure. He let go of one of his hands and grabbed ahold of Once-ler’s penis and pumped his hand gently.

“O-o-oh oh yes, Greed. I love you” he sighed. This time sex was once again feeling romantic and full of passion. He moaned as Greed ler was touching him in all the right ways. He brought his hands up to Greed ler, wanting to touch and love him as well.

Greed-ler moaned again and leaned down to nip at One-ler’s jaw. He didn’t draw any blood and smiled at how gentle he could be. He thrust a bit faster and moaned louder this time.

After Greed ler had taken the time to bite lovingly at him, Once ler took advantage of his face being so close and kissed him. He started with scattered kisses around his face and then traveled to his lips. His kisses spoke of his love each one a small promise.

Greed-ler returned each kiss and smiled at every one. This was truly making love and he liked it a lot more than when they just fucked. He loved to see Once-ler having so much fun and be in so much pleasure.

He stopped kissing and then just stared up at Greed ler and touched his cheek. “Thank you for everything. This trip, all the time you spent with me, the nice sex… it’s been amazing” he said happily.

“I just love you so much. I couldn’t hold back the love anymore.” Greed-ler kissed him again, gently but full of passion. He felt himself reaching climax and moaned softly into the kiss.

Feeling Greed ler spill into him and a few more fast motion’s from his hand and Once ler was cumming as well. He was kissing Greed ler the entire time and tears were streaming down his face.

Greed-ler pulled out of Once-ler and cupped his face in his hands, kissing him deeply with passion. He rubbed Once-ler’s cheeks with his thumbs and felt the tears and could only feel his own eyes water.

He stared up at Greed ler and couldn’t help but cry, no longer from sadness though, this was due to how amazing good he felt. “I love you Greed ler… I *yawn* love you so much”

“I love you too, Oncie. I will forever and with all my heart.” Greed-ler smiled, knowing Once-ler was getting tired. “You should rest up now. I’ll stay with you for the entire trip just to have you in my arms.”

Once ler’s eyes were starting to feel heavy but he didn’t want to go to sleep, he wanted to stay up longer with Greed ler. “No, I’m not tired… I want to stay up with you all night,” he said, breaking into another large yawn

“The caffeine is wearing off, baby. Sleep or you’ll get a headache.” Greed-ler stroked his hair softly and kissed him softly, their lips barely brushing. “Just sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

Once ler smiled at the tingly feeling of Greed ler’s lips being so close and he gave a little sigh of agreement. “Alright… I’ll see you in the morning then Greed. I love you,” he mumbled. His eyes closed and he snuggled into Greed ler’s arms.

“I love you too, baby. Sleep well.” Greed-ler wrapped his arms around Once-ler, holding him close and not feeling as sad about going home. The room was filled with romance and it would be like this forever.
