I don't own Envy, Greed or any other characters appearing in this fic, since Fullmetal Alchemist belongs to Hiromu Arakawa, or the song When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne. This fic takes place after the Fullmetal Alchemist movie. If any typos are seen, please inform me…
…Ow… Envy lifted his head, slowly… What the hell happened…? He sat up and looked around him. Sounds behind him made him turn around to see the Fullmetal and his brother. Envy tried to jump to an alley nearby, but stumbled. What the...? What's happening to me? Fortunately the Elrics had turned their backs to him and Envy could get away safely. So I'm back to Central, huh? Wait…I was watching the pipsqueak destroying the gate, and then… All Envy could remember was the feeling of being yanked forward and when he woke up, he was here. How am I even in this form? The last time I checked I was a dragon… Well, it's a good thing I wasn't in a disguise when I left this world. I would totally have panicked if I would've been in some other form. He wandered around the alleys for a while. That's when he happened to look at his legs. Wait…Why aren't the bruises healing? He looked at his arms. Why am I still like this? I'm not supposed to have these scratches! He touched one of the cuts and winced. I almost forgot why I hate pain so much… Anyways, I probably should find the other now…No. He stopped walking. There are no others. They're all dead. Envy fell back to sit on the ground. What… What the hell am I supposed to do now? His whole life Envy had been following orders, doing everything Dante told him to. Or then he was spending his free time with the other homunculi. Not that he missed Dante, but everyone else… Envy wrapped his arms around his legs and pressed his head against his knees. What am I supposed to do…? I don't want to be alone… But he didn't cry. Envy had never cried, why should he start now?
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you
there when I cried
Lust… I guess I never showed it to her, but… She really was like a sister to me.. And-- And… Greed… Envy flinched. Why do I think of him now? He's been gone for a long time. He left me… But I-- I miss you Greed… Envy closedhis eyes tightly.
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where
you lie
Is made up on your side
Flashback
- Greed please, don't-- don't go! They'll kill you!
Envy clung to the man's shirt desperately, trying to make him change his mind.
- Envy, you know that I can't live like this. I need to be free, not under that bitch's control.
- But-- But… You said you loved me… You know how much I need you… Please don't go…
- Then why don't you come with me? We'd both be much happier if we'd be together.
- They'd kill me too… I'm scared… Can't we just wait until Dante dies? When the Philosopher's Stone isn't working well anymore and she'd--
- Envy, I have to leave. Now. I'm not asking you anything else than are you coming or not. I should already be far from here when they notice I've left.
- But… Greed… I love you… Don't leave me…
Envy put his head down. Just a moment after he was pushed away and Greed turned around.
- If that's your final answer I'm not going to waste my time here anymore.
- Greed, wait I--! Envy grabbed his wrist, but Greed yanked his hand off his grip and left Envy staring at his back.
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do
you see how much I need you right now?
Envy sobbed. He put his head back down and sobbed again. And again. He couldn't stop himself from crying anymore. Tears pouring down his face, he hugged himself tighter and cried for the first time in his life.
When you're
gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're
gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're
gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And
make it ok
And
there he sat, crying and crying until he was so tired that he
couldn't even cry anymore. He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep,
not caring about what would happen to him for sleeping there. Even as
he slept, if someone would have walked past him he could've heard
Envy mumbling Greed's name in a so desperate voice that it would've
broken just anyone's heart. Except Greed's.
I miss you
Envy woke up when the sun was shining right into his eyes. He got up and rubbed his face, his eyes hurt for crying so much. He hadn't dreamed in centuries, and now that he did the only thing he dreamed of was Greed. His voice, his face, his scent, the feeling of his strong arms around Envy… Envy shook his head. He couldn't take thinking of Greed anymore. His heart hurt enough already.
I've never felt this way before
Everything
that I do,
reminds me of you.
In Dante's mansion Envy had had one of Greed's vests that he had refused giving back. After Greed left Envy hadn't let anyone else even go close to it. He had slept under it, imagining that Greed still was with him.
And the
clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like
you
I love the things that you do
And when Greed died, Envy was watching outside one of the windows. He hadn't admitted to himself that he actually cared, Greed had hurt his pride and he couldn't forgive him that easily. Even when talking about his death later, Envy had forced himself to laugh. He hated the guy. He forced himself to.
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do
you see how much I need you right now?
I
don't want to live without you, Greed. I already told you.
When even one of the homunculi wasn't there anymore, Envy had
totally gotten tired to his life…if you could even call it that. He
just wanted to find the nearest bridge or high building and die when
he still was young and pretty.
When you're gone
The pieces of
my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came
to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to
hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok
Envy glanced around him and actually saw a high bridge nearby.
- This is easier than I thought this would be, he said to himself and started walking towards it.
I miss you
He looked down from the edge. Damn this is high… And I'm supposed to jump off here? He saw some nasty-looking sharp stones on the bottom of the water and sighed. Just for you, Greed. Otherwise I would never do this.
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we
were
Yeah yeah
I just wanted you to be with me…
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
everything I do I
give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you
here with me Yeah...
He took a deep breath and climbed on the parapet (1)
When you're gone
The pieces of
my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came
to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to
hear, will always get me through the day
And make it ok
Envy closed his eyes and prepared to jump…
I miss you...
(1) You know, the thing that prevents you from falling. A dictionary said it's called that but…it sounds weird. So I'm not sure is it right ^^' If there's any other word for it, tell me.
READ! You can stop reading here, or if you hate sad endings like I do (or for any other reasons) you can read the next, and last "chapter". Whatever you do, please review and tell me what you think about this fic! Thank you!
