A/N this is a modern AU where Greed and Ling go to school together. (High school)

Ling's POV

I always saw him walking through the halls, girls all around him, but I could never get up the courage to go up to him and talk to him. Greed. The hottest guy in school. That spiky hair, his vest that he always wore, his shades. God. Everything about him was so perfect.

"Hey, Greed, look! It's that faggot, Ling Yao!" One of Greed's best friends, Envy, said, just loud enough for me to hear. Greed chuckled. H-he's laughing at me? I thought. My eyes teared up, and I sprinted to the nearest bathroom.

Greed's POV

"Look at that! He ran off crying like a little baby!" My friend, Pride, said. I laughed. It was honestly more of a snort, but whatever. "Oh hey, I gotta piss you guys. I'll see ya in class." I said. Stuffing my hands in my pockets and striding to the bathroom.

Ling's POV

I sobbed. "Why... Why does everyone make fun of me... Just because I'm different than them..."
"Hey, can you shut up? I'm tryin ta piss," I heard a voice coming from a different stall. Oh my God... It's him...
"S-sorry," I stuttered, worried that he'd realize who I was.

"Hang on... Aren't you that one gay kid? Ling Yao or somethin'?" He asked.
Oh God... "U-um... Y-yeah..." I started to tear up again.
"Oh. What's your problem?"
"What?"
"Why're ya cryin' kid?" He said. It almost sounded sincere, but his voice is one of those that never really sounds sincere.
"Wh-why do you care?" I sniffled.
"Cause I'm not an ass, like Envy," he said.
"O-oh... W-well... It's just that this guy I like was laughing at me for being gay..."
"Ah. What an asshole. Laughing at you for being yourself." I heard his stall door open, so I opened mine and walked out. I'd never really been this close to him before.
"Th-thanks for listening..." I sniffled.
"Sure man," he said as he washed his hands. "Hey, Ling, You got a car?"
"Y-yeah, why?" I asked.
"Envy can't drive me home today and none of my other friends can drive. My mom won't let me get a car, so I need a ride. Any chance you'll drive me home? I know we barely know each other but whatever. It's cool if you can't."
Oh. My. God. He's asking me to drive him home holy shit what do I do. "S-sure, I can do that!" I smiled.
"Thanks man," he said, offering his hand for a handshake. I took it. Oh my God our hands are touching... "Alright kid, you can let go now," he chuckled. "O-oh! Sorry!" I said, snapping my arm to my side. "Alright, I'll meet ya by the front door after school," he said, and walked out of the bathroom.
