Hohenheim's Mistake

Envy sat outside his house, watching his new perfect family, hiding just out if view. Hohenheim had not noticed his presence, not that he would let him. He had plans. Envy's face settled in a deep frown as he watched Hohenheim coo at a small bundle, Alphonse, in a brown haired woman's arm. "His new family" Envy thought bitterly as he watched a small, golden haired child, Edward, tug on his leg and get picked up by him, his face showing love, none of which he had received so many years ago. He was going to make sure that Hohenheim never wore that expression again atleast, to those particular children. He slunk around to the side of the house and silently slipped into it as a mouse. It was getting dark and he could hear the woman, Trisha, telling Hohenheim to put Edward and Alphonse to bed. Their precious, darling, little angels. Hiding in the corner of the brothers' room, he watched as Hohenheim laid down the brothers pecking the tops of their heads in a brief kiss, for the last time, if he had anything to do with it. All he had to do now was wait for Hohenheim to leave and go to sleep, so that he could act upon his plans.

Trisha greeted Hohenheim with a kiss as he stepped out of his sons' room. He smiled into the kiss and hugged her to him "I've put the boys to bed, now, why don't we go do the same ourselves?" He suggested, putting his face into her hair. Trisha laughed and leaned away "Better try to get it in before Alphonse wakes us up. Remember, it's your turn to check on him when he wakes up and our scheduled time" she said softly, as to not wake the boys. She then took his hand, leading him towards their bedroom, both blissfully unaware of what they were leaving their sons with.

Envy smirked after he heard them leave the vicinity, this was almost too easy. Soon, his 'father' wouldn't be one any longer. He waited a few more hours, just to be safe, before deciding to make his move, transforming back into his preferred, cute, form and leaned over two, small sleeping bodies each the picture of innocence. He transformed his hand into a wicked blade and smirked, getting ready to swing downward. His arm stopped in midair all of the sudden, unable to move. As a matter of fact, he couldn't move anything at all. While he frantically wondered why he couldn't move, Hohenheim appeared in his field of vision, holding a small charm in his hand, "No, not a charm" he thought with a sudden realization, his tooth. "No, William's tooth" Envy thought viscously as he struggled to move as Hohenheim slipped the tooth around his neck.

"William, what do you think you're doing?" Hohenheim asked softly, making sure the string was tied around his neck as he watched his former son's eyes narrow in anger. Hohenheim placed his hand on the symbol on Envy's thigh and forced his to transform his arm back and his whole body to become slack. "This is the time Alphonse usually wakes up" he said softly then added, staring at his face "You're still angry" as he walked behind Envy "You came here to kill them. They had nothing to do with us William, what happened wasn't because of them" He said as he swept the homunculus off his feet, into his arms "and I will not allow you to do them any harm, I'll make sure of it, and right the wrong I did to you" he said carrying Envy outside, into the cold, silent night.

Envy's eyes widened. Was this it? Was Hohenheim going to kill him? He should have been more careful, listening out for him. Hoheheim sat him down on the cold ground and placed his hands on him "I'm sorry for this William" he said as transmutation light flared and the sound of choked gasps heard.
