So...I'm really not sure about this but all I know is, I finally got off my lazy butt and dug this out. Rated T for now, may change later. I think that's all.

Oh. This is so short cuz 1) I'm lazy.

2) I had to make you guys sure I'm not dead or anything (not that anyone cares, or reads these...)

3) It's only an intro. More reviews=faster postings. No reviews=abandonment of story.

Thanks~

Envy

From the moment I first saw him, battered, bruised, and yet still fighting, I knew.

We were destined for something more than this. Something even I couldn't tell. I just knew we'd be together, whether as friends or enemies, I didn't know. And when he finally looked up at me, I drowned in his eyes.

They were gold. They weren't amber or yellow or anything. They were pure gold, the same as his flaxen hair. And the pain in my chest nearly brought me to my knees, but I couldn't let him see, couldn't let myself acknowledge the...humanity still in me. I could tell that, even streaked with blood and bruises, he was beautiful.

I had to have him.

Which, I knew, would be the most challenging thing I had or would ever do.

I wanted it.

And I would do whatever it took to get him.

Even if it killed me.

"Hey, Ed-bug..."

He glanced up at me, face inches from mine, a light sheen of sweat covering his forehead, plastering saffron hair to bronzed skin. Golden eyes were dark as he strained to push me back, our hands tightly clasped together. One was warm against mine, the other cold steel. He scowled as I smirked.

"You're going to lose." I finished.

He didn't answer, just glared, blinking furiously as a droplet of sweat rolled into his eye.

And then I did it. What would seal our fates, together, apart, forever.

I leaned close to his trembling lips and kissed him.

He gasped against my lips and wrenched away, falling back and staring up at me, eyes wide in shock. But...he was calm, like he'd just realized...

I shook myself. He wouldn't have, couldn't have, felt anything. It was just a kiss...right? To win? I know I hadn't felt anything...so, why would he?

Our gazes connected, and the pure hum of energy that passed between us made me shudder. He mouthed my name, eyes pleading, but I turned away.

I couldn't do this. Not to him. Not now. Not ever.
