"Auugh!" Envy snarled, throwing himself onto the windowsill of the dark room. "That... that little son of a bitch!"
"Envy," Lust chided, seating herself neatly in the desk chair.
Said sin shot Lust an acidic glare, snarling again as he turned his attention away from the window.
"What?" he barked.
Lust just smiled, resting her chin in a palm.
"Calm down. Getting angry will get you nowhere."
Envy's slender frame slipped off the sill with an agitated wave of an arm. "And just who the hell are you to tell me that!" came the angry reply, a growl from his throat. "You have no righ--" he was cut off with a startled sort of squeak as Lust extended the claw on her index finger and used it to lift the corner of the flap of fabric over his shorts.
Envy made a face.
"What the hell are you...?"
"I'm your comrade." Lust said simply, her eyes closed over.
Envy's eyebrows shot toward his hairline, obscuring themselves beneath his headband.
"E'scuze me?"
Lust stood, and as she stepped toward him, retracted her claw to tap two fingertips against the pale ivory skin of his thigh.
Cornered, Envy simply glared up at her with a look akin to that of a disturbed, cornered Edward Elric.
Lust smiled a thin, coy smile which peeled coloured lips away from perfect teeth.
"No matter how much longer you've been around," she tapped the tattooed symbol on his skin. "We are the same, Envy." She brought her free hand up to tap the same symbol on her collarbone.
Envy only stared.
"The same." Lust whispered, and took a step back.
A smile lingered in her carmine eyes as she stepped backward until she reached the door, her eyes never leaving Envy's. She lingered a moment, and Envy scoffed, turning his back on her and staring out the window.
He waited to hear the door click shut before he glanced over his shoulder.
"The same, huh?" he repeated softly. "...feh."
Closing his eyes, a faint, almost cryptic smile crossed his features.
It appeared that, despite himself, Envy had acquired a younger sister.
Author's Notes: I actually wrote this a looong time ago... and wasn't real happy with it. My sister, however, among others, seemed to really like it... so I thought I'd share. Let me know what you think byreviewing, please? ♥
