If it isn't obvious, because I don't think it is, this takes place in Ancient Egypt. You know, with pharaohs and servants and, of course, thieves. Who's what you ask? Well, read to find out!
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA. If I did, well, let's just say I wouldn't be writing fanfiction.
Chapter One: Thieves' secrets
"Ahhh."
Envy sighed as cold water ran down his body, relaxing him in the heat of the daytime. Long emerald strands of hair clung to his skin, free from its usual headband.
"Envy! Hurry up! We have to plan for tonight!" Lust, Envy's partner in thievery, practically shouted at him from the other side of the door.
As he lathered shampoo into his hair, Envy grinned to himself. Tonight was a very special night.
Tonight, they were going to capture that bastard's brother.
The thief growled low in his throat, before forcing himself to calm down. If he got too worked up, he wouldn't be able to focus when the time was right. And he had to focus in order to get his revenge.
Another impatient knock interrupted his thoughts.
Sighing and wishing he had more time for a personal life, Envy finished cleaning himself, then wrapped a towel around his waist, walking to his room located down the hallway.
Only in his room did Envy truly feel safe. There was one window, but it was always shut, locked, and had the curtains preventing any light from coming through. There was a medium sized bed lying in the corner, the one closest to the window and door.
If anyone happened to come in, he'd know immediately. Years of being a thief had sharpened his senses, and taught him to be a light sleeper.
There was also a small desk on one side of the room, a box of writing utensils sitting on top. There was one drawer in it, but it was locked. The only key was sewn on the inside of Envy's black headband.
At first glance, all that the drawer contained was a bunch of old plans and layouts of different places. But if someone were to dig just a little deeper, they'd find many entries detailing Envy's deep, personal thoughts and desires.
His desires…
A complex realm dreaming of escape, hoping to live freely someday, and a small wish for love.
He kept all of this hidden well, for even thieves have secrets they don't want anyone else to know.
A/N: I know it's short, I'm sorry! I'm working on the second chapter, put it's so long since I'm using that chapter to clarify things about the group and stuff. Plus, I want to see the response I get to this. If you hate it, why should I continue? But if you like it, I'll try my best to update, even with school and everything.
