Once pressed his face into the thneed his body shaking as tried not to cry. He could hear foot steps approaching him his body curled into a tight ball. He felt a hand on his shoulder. "What are you belly aching about?" A voice that was crasser then his own filled his ears. He felt someone remove the fedora from his head. Once looked up at counterpart. Green gloved hands brushed away chunks of tomato from the hat. "What those simpletons not understand yet?" The well dressed man asked looking at the younger. Once just nodded his head letting the stranger pull him up. "You shouldn't let them get down Once-ler." Once gripped his thneed tightly feeling the man comb his long fingers through his hair. "They'll come flocking to you. You're a quality product." The twin teased setting the hat on his head. Gloved hands cupped his face brushing the tears away with the thneed. Once's ridged body started to relax hearing the other humm."Take a sad song and make it betterRemember to let her into your heartThen you can start to make it better"He listened to the twin voice carry through the air, wrap around him almost. A voice that had more years of practice, a voice that understood the troubles of this moment. Arms wrapped around him, Once smiled placing his head on the shoulder of his twin. The elder started to lead them through a dance. "Hey Jude, don't make it badTake a sad song and make it betterRemember to let her under your skinThen you'll begin to make itBetter better better better better better, oh" Once closed his eyes gripping the green pinstriped suit tightly. The successful counterpart, the one that knew his favorite songs, the one that understood the struggle. Once felt happy with this crass callous businessman. The way he moved, the way he held Once against him it made Once happy. Once smiled closing his eyes. "Hey, idiot, do you wanna go to dinner with me tonight?" "Yeah." 

Cabaret - Money 

Once smiled letting the other in, he hand wanted to grasp his counterparts, fingers interlaced tightly. "I told you it didn't change much since your last visit." He said closing the door being Greed. Once held his hands infront of himself taking a deep inhale feeling very aware of his home that looked like a wreck. When one was in a slumped state though, they really couldn't be bothered to care how their home looked. He stood next to other hesitantly reaching out to hold his more successful half's hand.   

Once smiled looking at the new thneed he had made. It was green, the first green thneed! He was sure his other half would love it, maybe even put it into production. Once walked up to the office door not caring that his and Greed's mother was no longer sitting at the desk to stop him. Once gripped the thneed taking a deep breath, he lifted his hand up to push the plush red doors open.   A soft moan made Once's body lock up. He shook his head smiling as he pushed the doors open "Greed, look wha-" He stared at the young woman who had her fingers entangled in Greed's hair, lips locked against the others. Once gripped the thneed tightly in his hand before throwing it down. "Don't you think you should, oh I don't know, cut off the old before moving on to the new?" Once snapped he took a deep breath. He was not going to cry infront of this man. He wasn't his other half he was just another rich fling.  "I mean, I understand wanting to feel above yourself, but you could show a little thought and break it off with your pervious item before starting to make out with your new one." He snapped watching the girl pull away to look at Once who stood in the door his arms crossed, his back straight. He wasn't going to show weakness this time. He wasn't going to be the one who came crawling back. 

Once smiled as he walked up to his brother. He drummed his fingers on Greed's head. "Greed, Greedy Greed. Come on, wake up. It's time to play or so something!" Once whined pushing on his brother's arm.

Thank you!~
