Hello again. I know... It's been forever since I posted anything.
Anywho, here is a new story for you all to enjoy. I would love to hear your reviews and know what you think about this.
I don't own anything from Fullmetal Alchemist.
He had to get some air. Those damn jerks. How could they say that he didn't do anything?! He'd saved their sorry asses on more than one occasion! Like when they lost the priest at Liore and he had to fill in for the fat pig to get the riot going. Those ungrateful little bastards. He always managed to get more information and do way more work than that slut and her pet ever had!
The scenery in the sewers was doing nothing to help his mood any, so he took on the form of a good looking blonde guy in his early twenties. He decided to leave his eyes as their usual violet color; it was dark out and no one would really notice anyway. Besides, it's not like he couldn't change them quickly if he needed to. He went up to the surface near a park he knew was likely to be empty by now. It was well past midnight after all.
"Well, it looks like I don't have to keep this disgusting form," he grumbled to himself while changing back into his usual 'self', his long, wild hair flowing out in all directions. His temper still hadn't cooled from his sister's accusations of him being worse than Sloth. His mind kept wandering back to the conversation despite himself.
'You lost him, again?' She'd jeered at him. 'You're supposed to be the strongest of us all, so how is it that a little boy keeps giving you the slip?'
'Shut the hell up, Lust!' He'd spat back. 'Or do I need to remind you of all the trouble I've kept you out of by cleaning up all of your messes? Especially the ones you let him make.'
Lust narrowed her eyes at her brother. 'I can't be expected to account for everything that could happen, and besides he's your responsibility, anyway. He never should have been able to ruin my missions if you'd kept track of him like you were supposed to. You're about as useful as Sloth when it comes to that damned boy.'
'HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ME TO THAT WEAKLING!' He roared at her, closing the distance between them in an instant and pinning her against the wall by her throat. She smiled sweetly down at him.
'Aw. Did I hit a sore spot, Envy?' She cooed; her smile disappeared as her anger rose again. 'You should get your priorities straight then and take care of the brat.'
Envy dropped Lust and turned away from her. 'You think you know oh so much about it all. Why don't you go after the Fullmetal Pipsqueak then?' He spun on her, 'I'd like to see how well you fare when you can't hurt him. You know Father would be pissed if we harmed even a hair on his annoying head.'
Lust glared at Envy. "Fine. I think I will. I'm sure I could handle it much better than -you- anyway.'
Envy's blood started boiling again and he slammed his fist into a nearby tree, splitting the trunk down the center. He stalked off down the narrow path of the park fuming, oblivious to the shadow huddling behind the tree he'd just split, watching him go. Eventually, Envy came upon a bench and dropped down onto it, staring into the tree line at nothing and grumbling to himself about how much of a bitch Lust was. He didn't notice the person standing a few yards away, behind another tree. He closed his eyes, leaning his head against the back of the bench and slumping further down into his seat.
"Damn it, " he whispered. "Now what the hell am I gonna do?" He couldn't just go back to the lair, but he didn't have any mission that warranted him an excuse to stay away either. His eyes opened a little and he stared up at the stars without really seeing them, a frown on his face. He jerked up at a light rustling behind him.
Shit! Who could've gotten so close behind me?! He scanned carefully over the area, listening hard for any other sounds. He didn't hear or see anything else, so he started to relax a bit. He still had the feeling of being watched, however.
"Hmm. I must have imagined it." He glanced around again, trying to figure out why he would feel like someone was there. "Heh. Get a grip on yourself. No one's ever out this late." He shook his head in an attempt to lose the feeling, and started walking again.
"I must really be losing it," he chuckled to himself. "Who the hell would be stupid enough to try to stalk a homunculus?"
He heard a small giggle, slightly behind him, from the tree line. "What the-!" He spun around in the direction of the sound. He heard a gasp as a shadow took off into the trees. He grinned sadistically. Finally, someone he could take his aggression out on. He let the person get a small head start before starting the chase. After all, how much fun would it be if he ended it too quickly? He followed the figure at a slowish pace, keeping him just in sight, but far enough back to let him think he had a chance of getting away. The figure ran as fast as he could between the trees, Envy closing the distance slowly, never losing sight of him. Envy's prey tripped over a protruding tree root and fell hard on the ground, grunting in pain. Envy slowed to a walk, watching and grinning as the person tried futilely to get away. The figure had on dark, loose clothing and a hood that concealed his face. He held his ankle, grimacing in pain as Envy came nearer.
"Aw, did the little rabbit hurt himself?" Envy said mockingly. "You should have been paying more attention to where you were running, then you probably would have made it." Envy laughed at his little joke, knowing full well that the man never would have escaped him.
"Ha! Yeah right. You think I'm stupid enough to think I could actually have outrun you?" The 'man' asked, his voice very feminine.
Envy quirked an eyebrow at the person he had assumed was male. The voice was unfamiliar, but it was definitely not a man's voice. He reached over and roughly pulled the hood back, revealing a pretty woman with dark hair that reached just past her shoulders. He was taken aback a little when he saw her eyes, though. She was looking directly at him with defiance and what looked like a little amusement as well, but it was the colors that got him most curious. Her left eye was a deep, sea green with a hint of blue and her right was a brown so dark it was almost black. Envy couldn't help but stare at her, his curiosity showing on his features. The girl's eyes widened and she blushed a little under his gaze.
"You were stupid enough to stalk me, so why wouldn't you be dumb enough to think you could get away?" He stated, his grin reappearing. "How long were you following me, Rabbit? And more importantly, why?" What the hell was he asking that for? He didn't give two shits how long or why. All he wanted was someone to relieve his stress from earlier on.
Her blush deepened as she looked down at her ankle, rubbing it unconsciously. "I was curious about who would be out so late."
"Is that so?" he asked, his grin widening. "And what did you find?" He could guess that she had seen him when he changed his forms and knew she would say a monster. He hated being called that almost as much as he hated the Fullmetal Pipsqueak, and it would be just the excuse he needed to tear her to pieces. She slowly raised her mismatched eyes to his, her cheeks stained with red.
"The most terrifyingly beautiful, and yet saddest, man I've ever laid eyes on."
Oh dear! What is going on here?
The more reviews I get, the faster this will be updated. I love hearing what you all think! ^_^
And do you think I managed to capture Envy's personality? He's a toughy sometimes :/
