They were out of the factory, Greed and him were cleaned and Greed was laid to bed within minutes. Tech smiled down at his brother, who lay next to him, happy to finally be home again. He had slipped on the necklace with the green gem before putting him to rest in his bed to finally achieve some calm sleep. “I know you don’t like it, but it will help. Trust me this time.” They had tried the gems before but neither Greed nor Crimson liked them. They told Tech that they could handle and control their own abilities even though Tech knew that was highly unlikely. But even so, he removed the gems, and look what has happened because of it. Slipping on his own blue gemed necklace, taking off his glasses and going under the sheets, he lay himself to rest next to his brother. Smiling happily as Greed smiled back. Tomorrow is going to be a good day, Tech thought, he just knew it would be… Then, he gently closed his eyes as the pure beauty of sweet sleep swept over him, pulling him further and further into relaxation with his finger intertwined with Greeds peacefully.
