How Life Can Change
Chapter 1- Under Conditions
Once again I stood outside of the estate I used to live in. Before I was ordered to kill Envy, the so-called evil homunculus. Before I fell in love with said homunculus. Before Alphonse confessed his love for me and I stormed out of the ballroom. Before I was burned alive along with Envy. Before I was forced to leave.
Well I guess I wasn't exactly forced to leave but, I needed to be with Envy. Roy and Riza however did not except that. They thought he was an evil, mean, killing machine. I do believe that he once was such a thing but he most certainly isn't now. I know that for a fact. He hasn't shown once ounce of evil since I fell for him. He didn't even fight back when Roy set a blaze to his body.
The only reason I had returned to the estate was because of Envy. He was worried about my health. Even though I am the Revolutionest, I do not magically have perfect health. I have to eat correctly and I feel cold and warmth like human do. That and I sleep a lot. Sleep was something I was tending to loose in the forest. It just felt so weird being in the forest, trying to sleep. I just couldn't do it. True, I could live like that forever, exhausted, dehydrated, and starving but it would be incredibly painful.
I sighed stomping my foot in frustration. I wanted nothing more than to retreat and scurried back to Envy. But no, I had to do this. If for nothing more than to make Envy happy, I had to do this.
"Damn it." I muttered, clenching my hands into fists and marching up to the door. "Damn it. Damn it. Damn it." I grumbled with each step I took.
I stopped at the door, hand raised and ready to knock but hesitant. "Knock Orchid." I said threw gritted teeth.
I moved my hand almost robotically and knocked on the door three times. Quickly letting my arm fall back to my side I listened to footsteps make their way to the door. It was Riza's energy getting closer and closer to me. The closer she got the more nervous I became. I listen to the lock click as she turned it, unlocking the door and opening it.
"Orchid!" She gasped, diving towards me, enveloping me into a hug. "You're back." It was than I could tell that she was crying tears of shear joy.
I put my arms around her and smile to myself. "Maybe." I murmured.
"What do you mean maybe?" she pulled away from me, keeping her hands on my shoulders.
"I have a few conditions." I said confidently.
"Orchid?" I heard Roy ask from the foyer.
"Roy." I greeted him with a nod.
Roy wore his military uniform as well as Riza. Roy had a questionable look on his face.
"You're back." He said unsure of it.
"Conditionally." I murmured.
Things were obviously still tense between Roy and I. Wouldn't it be for you if he set your boyfriend on fire?
"Well, let's go inside and discuss your…conditions." Riza murmured.
And with that we awkwardly filed into the living room. I sat down in the recliner and Roy sat down at the couch across from me.
"I'll be right back. I just have to call HQ to tell them well be taking the day off." Riza murmured before scurrying off to the foyer where the phone was.
The living room had indeed changed but only slightly. The Christmas tree that lit up the living room before I left was gone. The house smelled the same though. To my nose it almost always smelled like vanilla, roses and fresh wood. I imagine that Roy and Riza didn't smell it quite the same way considering I have a much stronger sense of smell.
"You said you had conditions." Riza murmured, reentering the living room. "Well, lets hear them."
I fiddled with my thumbs out of shear nervousness. I knew –for the most part- how Roy would react. He would simply be furious. Riza however, was a mystery.
"I know you want me back and I wanna be back but there's only one way I'll stay." I said clearly, dissolving all nervousness building up in me.
"And that is?" Riza urged.
I sighed preparing myself for their reactions. "Envy stays here with me." It was dead silent for a moment to long. I looked up surprised. Roy face was a light red that quickly turned to scarlet red and then even to purple.
"Breath Roy." I mumbled.
He exhaled. "Under no circumstances will a god damned homunculus live under my roof." Roy growled threw clenched teeth.
This time it was my face that turned red with anger. Without hesitating I abruptly stood up. "Then neither will I." I began walking to the door when Riza called, "Wait."
I turned my head to look at her.
"Roy can't we work something out?" She pleaded looking back to him.
"No."
"Roy." Riza growled, glaring at him. "I want her back."
"Fine." He sighed in defeat.
I turned back around and walked to the recliner. Plopping down in it I crossed my legs and folded my hand on my knee.
"He stays locked up in the basement." Roy said solemnly.
"Not a chance." I muttered, pissed.
He sighed obviously just as pissed as I was.
"Stop it you two." Riza commanded.
I leaned back in my seat glaring at Roy.
"He can stay." Riza declared.
A soft smile crossed my face.
"In the other end of the house." Roy added.
"In my room." I said with an evil smirk of my own.
"What?" Roy and Riza demanded together.
"Even before I left he's slept with me almost every night, I might just have separation anxiety." I said.
"No!" Roy growled.
"Fine." Riza sighed in defeat.
My smirk lightened and was replaced with a genuine smile of happiness.
"I want my job back too." I added.
"Done." They said together.
"Hmm. Sounds like you need me." I giggled.
"Don't get cocky Eternal." Roy said with a little smirk.
My smile widened, finally Roy wasn't being an asshole.
"I'll be back later." I said jumping up.
"Where are you going?" Riza asked shooting up.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back. I'm just going to get Envy." I pecked her on her cheek and walked to the foyer and out the door with a smile spread wide on my face.
(Small time skip)
"Envy!" I called running threw the forest.
I got running so fast I ran clear past him. Skidding to a stop I turned around and dove on him.
"I'm guessing they said yes." Envy chuckled holding me close to him.
"Yes!" I said kissing his shoulder.
I leaded back away from his shoulder and kissed his lips quickly before squealing with joy once more.
"Well that was cute Envy." Said with a light laugh.
"Im excited!" I explained. "I miss my bed, my clothes, my kitchen, my bed."
"Yes I know you miss sleeping you days away." Envy murmured, lightly squeezing my waist.
I looked up in to his eyes. Deep lavender pools met my shining emerald eyes. This was something I would never get used to. This was my body shivered when he looked me in the eye. It was a feeling hard to explain. It was almost like he and I were the only two left in the world and we were perfectly fine with that, just so long as we were together. My cheeks flushed a light pink.
"I love it when you blush." He murmured.
This only made my cheeks redden even more. He chuckled.
"L-lets go." I murmured, recovering from my embarrassment.
He let go of my waist but kept hold off my hand as he began to transform. Red sparks started to spark around his feet until I saw the man that asked me to dance at the Christmas party. The same man that told me to meet him outside twenty minutes after our short dance. Only this time he was slightly different. This time he wore a black tee-shirt and faded blue jeans.
I however, wore white shorts, my infamous thigh-high boots and a brown baby doll top. All of which were transmuted from dirt, leaves and bark from the trees.
"You sure they said this was okay? "He asked.
"Mhm. Im sure there will be awkward moments and some arguments but this will work out." I looked up at him bumping into his side. "Trust me."
"With me life." He responded.
Our feet crunched the twigs and dried leaved beneath us. We didn't have to be quiet I was coming back as the Eternal Alchemist. Everyone in Central knew who I was. All off this would work out. I was sure of it.
Sorry the first chapter is so short. I plan to write more and update as much as possible. I am also working on another Ouran High School Host Club fanfic but which ever story gets the most reviews after I post a chapter will be the one I work on more. So REVIEW!
