A/N: My confidence in my work has been very low lately. I mean, really low. That is why, I am not updating and stopping two of my stories.
So I came with this solution: I just write a story, with chapters with a bunch of crap in it. Then my other stories seems good again to me. I am a genius ^^
Enjoy.
Might contain EdxEnvy later.
Shower.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward Elric was showering.
Yes, very shocking, eh? A busy alchemist like him, couldn't possibly have time for a shower (A/N: in the anime, he only did that once!) He still had a lot of episodes to shoot, together with the rest of the FMA-Crew.
But the higher ups had decided it was time for a break. They said it was because they all had worked so hard and deserved a little free time, but everybody knew it was bullshit. They had started a fight, nobody really knew about, and then their parents came and gave them all a timeout. But it wasn't so bad, since everybody thought it would be nice with a break. And besides, Edward really wanted to catch up with all the series he used to watch, like Desperate Housewifes.
Al wanted to go with Winry and Pinako to a great metal-seminar, but Edward didn't want to go. After all, it wasn't him who needed to fix his automail when it broke (notice the 'when').
And that's the story behind, why Edward now was showering in peace. He wanted to take a long shower. Nobody would come crashing in and yell 'What are you doing?! You're supposed to grope Psiren on her boob right now!' or exclaim that he had stolen Mustang's Backstreet Boy's cd, when Edward obviously just had borrowed it. Nobody to bother him…
CRASH!
"Heeeiia Edoo!" Edward flinched at the voice.
"Envy! Out of here! Now! I am showering!" Edward yelled, and held the curtain in place, just in case Envy got any good ideas. Envy stopped in front of the shower.
"I know, and I am rather disappointed. Don't you know, you have to sing in shower, or else it isn't right?" The green haired hold a short break to see if the blond had a respond (and to see, if he could see through the curtain, if he squint his eyes). Edward hadn't. Actually, Edward was close to bang his head in to the wall. Why. WHY couldn't Envy just let him have his shower?! It was hard enough that they had to share house together.
"I borrowed Roy's cd, if you want to sing along on something." Envy informed with a bright smile. Edward couldn't help to smile a little. Well, okay, that was one good thing by staying with Envy. But it was probably the only thing, too.
"We could sing a duet!"
… Yes, it was.
Edward suddenly felt a tug in the curtain. Luckily, he still held it in place.
"Envy, step away and let go of the freaking curtain!!" Edward freaked and held the curtain tighter. "Aaaw Edo, you're too paranoid." Envy said with a disappointed tone and with a pout on his face. "And I don't have a reason to be so?!" Envy frowned. "But I just wanted to see you. And you can't sing duet in a shower, unless you are in the shower too."
There was a harsh silence from Edward. Maybe if he just ignored Envy long enough, the sin would leave?
But Envy wasn't about to leave. Oh no, he had no intentions to do so, because he had some important and business to do.
"Neh Edo, are you done soon?" The green haired sin asked, while rocking a little back and forth on his feet. Edward grabbed the shampoo bottle and pressed some of the content out on his hand. "I am not planning on it, no." Edward answered with an annoyed grumble, as he rubbed and spread the shampoo in his hair. Envy gasped dramatically. "But you have to!" Edward rolled his eyes. "And why do I have to leave the shower soon?" "Because I need to go on the toilet."
Edward went silent for a moment. Then he continued to rub the shampoo in. "Then just do it." He said. Envy whined. "But I don't want to! You could be peeping." Edward rolled his eyes again. "Envy, I am not going to peep, I promise. If anyone, it would be you who would do such." He said. And why on earth would he look on another guy pissing, anyway?!
"But you can hear it! And I don't like that you can hear it!" Envy whined again and started to rock a little bit faster back and forth. He was reaching his limit. Edward sighed. "Envy, I can not hear it, the shower is too loud." "Well, what if I have to do something else?"
Short silence.
"Well, do you?"
"Not now, but maybe I suddenly have to while I'm flushing out the old water from the pool?"
Another silence.
"The water from the what?" The Homunculi started to explain logically for the unknown little blond.
"The pool. It's because I am a big hotel. When I am eating, then I am inviting customers in to live here for some days. And when I drink, I fill the pool in the water-land I have. And then, when I am changing the water and throwing people out-"
"Okay Envy, I got! I am leaving now!" Edward interrupted as he turned off the water and reached out for a towel, still holding the curtain in place.
He suddenly felt gloved hands and soft fingers trail over his arm. "You're wet, Edo." Edward pulled his arm back with the towel. "Yeah, I don't know what happened either. It must have been because I forgot the umbrella." Edward said ironically and wrapped the towel around him. He stepped out from the shower, to see a very desperate sin tripping on his feet. As soon as Edward had steeped out of the bathroom, the door shut close behind him.
Edward sighed and stood there for a while. Then he suddenly remembered something.
"Envy! This house has two bathrooms!"
