I wasn't planning on posting this until I finished one of my other fanfictions, but I'm almost done with A Born Sin, (Just a few more chapters left, meaning just a week or two until it's done) and well, a lot of you have been wanting me to post the sequel to Family, so here you have it. Fire and Steel, the second half to Envys new life as a Hawkeye/Mustang
I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of the characters
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm clocks alarm blared through the room, awakening, and annoying, everyone in the room.
Suddenly, a hand rose from under the green sheets on the bed, as it hung above the alarm clock for a few seconds before it clenched into a fist and slammed down onto it and proceeded to smash the automatic daylights out of it.
Grunting under the blankets, Envy lifted his head to glare at the offending peice of technology. He pushed himself up and stretched before climbing out of his bed and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
He was Envy, The Envy, The First Homunculus, adpoted son of Fuhrer Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye. Well the adopted son of the Ex-Fuhrer. Roy wasn't a Fuhrer anymore.
After a few minutes, the homunculus exited the shower, towel around his waist. He grabbed a brush and began brushing his hair, getting the knots out. When he finished, he picked up his black spark gloves and slipped them on. Looking at himself in the mirror, he snappe his fingers, feeling the water on his body evaporating and his body drying quickly. It was a fun skill he developed with his Flame Alchemy, using the gloves to heat up the air around him to dry him off. Sure it was a lazy mans way, but it was quick and easy.
Running his fingers through his hair, he grabbed a bottle of hair gel, removing the glove, he squirted the right amount onto his palms, rubbing them together, he began scrubbing it into his hair, spiking the hair out. There were a few changes to his hair as when compared to how he looked when with Dante.
His hair was no longer green like it had been for the first four hundred years. He had dyed it black with a hint of green, he also cut it a bit so it only reached the middle of his back. It was still spiked out in that 'palm tree theme' that everyone called it. But the spikes were more defined and were more seperated instead of all clumped up together.
He finished with his hair and headed back into his room, slipping into his uniform. After he buttoned up his coat, he took his headband and slipped on his headband and headed into the next room.
As expected, his roomate was still asleep, curled up under his blankets. Envy sighed and kicked him off the bed.
"What the hell?" his roomate demanded, crawling off the floor and glaring at Envy.
Envy just smirked, "Looks like you aren't to old yet for 'Kick the Baby', Wrath," He taunted.
Wrath glared and raised his automail fist to strike a blow to Envy who dodged it with ease.
"Come on, Lieutenant, we're going to be late for work," He said, putting mockary on the word 'lieutenant' just to get Wrath riled up.
Though looks like the fear of being late made him ignore what Envy said as he kicked the older sin out of his room and began quickly putting on his uniform.
"Not even a shower?" Envy asked through the door.
"Fuck you, Envy. I took a shower last night!" Wrath responded and quickly opened the door, wearing his military uniform.
The two had been roomates for nine years and this morning arguing and bickering as well as anger towards each other was just a morning ritual. The two were best friends and never got offended when the other would insult them. They had also grown to be close like brothers, though a chance towards that was probably because they were both homunculi. With Envy only being half a homunculus now due to possessing a soul
Also, despite them both being physically twenty nine now, Envy was still considered the 'Elder sin'. Because he was still technically over four hundred years old now while Wrath was really just twenty nine years old. So despite both of their bodies being twenty nine years old, Envys mind was four hundred and twenty nine years old.
Wrath raced to the fridge and grabbed two bagels and tossed Envy one before running out the door to the car.
Envy just walked there at a more slow and carefree pace, knowing full well Wrath had to wait for him because he had the keys to the car.
The smaller Homunculus glared at Envy when he got into the car, "Could you have gone any slower?" He asked.
"You want me to go back in the house and walk in slow motion?" Envy retorted.
Wrath shook his head, "No..." He muttered.
"Didn't think so," Envy grinned as he started the car and began driving towards Eastern Commands. He also ignored Wrath who was glaring out the window, apparantly he didn't wake up on the right side of the bed.
Wasn't Envys fault.
As they drove, both mentally questioning why they lived so freaking far away from the command center, Envy decided to ask a question.
"So, Wrath," he said, a sly smile forming, "What's this I hear about you and Elysia?" He asked and watched as Wraths face turned bright red.
"I-It's not what you think!" He cried out, "She just moved here and I...I'm a gentleman so I was showing her around, making her more comfortable here," He said.
Envy just laughed, "You, a gentleman? Your practically a ticking timebomb of rage!" He teased and watched as Wrath's face continued to go redder and redder.
"Yeah, well what about you and all those girls you've been hanging out with? At least I'm not a player," Wrath argued.
Envy grinned, "Wrath, those 'girls' are workers from dads foster moms buisness. The employees worked as dads informants, there working as mine as well now," he explained, "You know this too!"
Wrath just laughed as they pulled into the military parking lot, "I know but hey, if your going to talk about me hanging out with Elysia, I'll taunt you for having those woman from Madame Christmas's bar," He said.
Holding his hands up in surrender, Envy grinned, "Well played, Wrath, well played," He laughed as the two got out of the car and began heading towards the doors for the Eastern Headquarters.
The moment they entered the base, they were greeted by the freakishly large General Armstrong, who also was the commander of the Eastern base.
"Hello, Armstrong," Envy said, his good mood deteriorating into uneasy, the same with Wrath. The man was large, muscular, and overly friendly, a horrible combination in the eyes of the two Sins.
"Colonel Hawkeye! Lieutenant Curtis! I am so glad to have found you!" Armstrong said in his loud voice.
Envy rubbed the back of his head, "Um yeah, well we weren't due to come in today until right now anyways," He explained, chances were Armstrong forgot that and had been looking high and low for them at the command center.
"No matter!" Armstrong said, "I have an important mission for you that I trust only you two will have the skills to do!"
That perked their interest. Envy and Wrath glanced at each other before smirking and nodding there heads in agreement. They then turned back to Armstrong and saluting.
"What is this mission, sir?" Envy and Wrath asked grinning and eager to get the mission.
Missions were way more fun then dumb old paperwork anyways.
I hope you guys liked this.
I just want you to know, I want to make Wrath and Envys relationship similiar to Roy and Riza's relationship (Not the romantic/possibly romantic side) and since Envy was raised by those two, he's going to be a lot like them in some aspects but still be the sarcastic homunculus we all know and love.
Also, if your wondering about the title; If you read After Family, you'll know that Roy turned Envy into an alchemist and taught him the art of Flame Alchemy, hence Fire. Then there is Wrath who has an automail arm and leg, Steel. And yeah, the title make's it sound like a Roy/Ed fic doesn't it?
I had to do a quick change also. I realized after posting that 'Wait...this is FMA...I don't think Energy bars were made yet' so I changed it to bagels.
