Outside, the wind roared, branches clawed at the air and rain pawed against the glass panels of the window, making a regular sloosh, sloosh. Inside the little one-story ranch house, however, it was warm and dry. The smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air. A large white dog lounged on the hearth of a crackling fire and on a little plush couch sat an odd little couple.

A long haired, little blonde sat slumped against a larger male with even longer, stringy hair that was such a dark shade of green it was almost black. The little blonde was asleep and every once in awhile, a tiny snore escaped his lips. The larger man sat upright, a slight smirk on his face, content watching the steady rise and fall of his partner's tiny chest.

"Ed, wake up," he whispered, nudging the blonde's shoulder. "I think the cookies are cool now."

Ed's eyelids fluttered and he drew a deep breath. He opened his eyes and stretched his arms upward, nearly wacking his boyfriend in the face.

"Jeez, watch it," the green haired man sneered. "Remember, I'm the one who made the cookies for you."

"That's right," Ed muttered. "Thanks, Envy."

"No problem," Envy said as he rose, twisting around to crack his spine for good measure. "I know they're your favorite." He made his way to the kitchen, a groggy Ed and dog in tow. Envy busied himself removing the cookies from the cooling rack and arranging them onto plate while Ed filled a glass to the brim with grape juice.

Envy threw him a playful grin. "What, no milk?"

Ed stuck out his tongue. "Ew, no way. Like I said, who wants to drink liquid secreted from a cow?"

"I do," said Envy, snatching up a gallon of milk from the fridge and lifting it to his mouth, chugging at least a quart of it down in one breath. Ed made a sickened face and pretended to vomit.

"Yuck."

Envy laughed and poured some milk into a mug and proceeded to dip a cookie in it. The white dog looked mournfully up at Ed as he shoveled a cookie into his mouth.

Ed gave in. "Sit, Alexander." The dog obeyed and Ed tossed a cookie into the air, which the dog caught and wolfed down. Alexander looked back up at Ed and wagged his tail. "Not a chance. I'm not gonna clean the carpet when you get sick and vomit." Nevertheless, the dog continued to beg, causing Ed to roll his eyes and make his way back to the living room with his grape juice and a stack of cookies. Ed flipped the TV onto the science channel and kicked back. Envy came in and stood behind the couch.

"Ew, what's this crap." He snatched the remote and flipped it to cartoons. "That's better," he said laughing to himself.

"I don't think so," said Ed. It's my turn to pick the channel. They went on bickering until Ed proposed they arm wrestle for it out of frustration. The winner would get to choose the channel.

"You're on," said Envy. They knelt on either side of the coffee table and grasped hands. Envy sneered. "You know I'm going to win this time, right?"

"Yeah, sure," teased Ed. "Let's get on with it. On three. One, two, THREE!"

Ed's automail groaned with the strain and veins popped up on Envy's arm. Envy had gotten stronger, Ed would give him that. Or, had his automail gotten weaker? As if on cue, the moment the thought crossed Ed's mind, a tiny silver screw popped out of the mechanical arm near the elbow and rolled to the ground with a clink. Envy grinned.

"I've got you now."

Ed's eyes widened and he pushed harder, but it was no use, without that one little screw, he had no control of his arm. With a clash, Envy pinned his partner's arm to the table, threw his arms in the air and whooped.

"Gottcha, didn't I, punk?" he laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, big deal. You've won once. Now it's 58-1," replied Ed, sulking. "I let you win that time. I didn't even use alchemy."

"Sure," grinned Envy. "Or were you just getting cocky?"

Ed huffed and pretended not to have heard. He began feeling around on the ground for the missing screw, which he found and put back into place before plopping down on the couch. Envy perched next to him and draped his arm over the little blonde shoulder.

"Come on now! Don't ruin the evening. Cheer up! Here, I'll even let us watch a sciency cartoon." Envy flipped the channel to Dexter's Laboratory, which seemed to cheer Ed up a bit.

It was nearly 10 P.M. when they heard a small yawn from the hallway. Standing there in her little white nightgown, was Envy and Edward's 5 year old daughter, Nina Elric. She rubbed her eyes and a small tear rolled down her cheek.

"Daddy, I had a bad dream," she sniffled.

"Aw, poor baby. Come here," Ed cooed, suddenly softening up. She walked over to the couch and Ed hoisted her onto his lap. "Would you like to talk about it?"

Nina nodded and sniffed. "A bad man hurt Uncle Al and you both tried to save him, but then the bad man hurt Daddys to, and I was all alone." She was now sobbing into Envy's chest as he tenderly stroked her brown locks. Ed hated seeing his little girl cry- it reminded him of another little girl named Nina that he hadn't been able to save- but he felt it was only right that he name both his dog and his daughter after the two friends that had forever touched his soul for honorary reasons and as a reminder that he was only human (Envy often teased that it helped to keep him from getting a big head).

"You're okay," whispered Envy. "It was only a dream."

The little family sat and held each other until Nina's eye drifted shut and she fell into sleep once again.

"I'll take her back to her room," Envy volunteered. He scooped the tiny girl up in his arms and walked down the hall and to the left. He stopped at the doorway. "Here, Alexander!" he called. The big white dog bounded toward him and followed him over to Nina's bed.

"Sleep in here tonight."

The dog lied down near the bed and sighed. Envy gently placed the tiny angel onto her bed and covered her with her blanket. He was about to leave when he saw a little rabbit stuffed animal laying on the floor. He picked it up and nestled it in next to Nina. For a moment, he looked down upon his daughter's face in admiration. She was the one who truly changed his heart. He had used to hate children, but seeing Ed's pleading, and then seeing that adorable face had softened him up. Oh, what would Father say if he ever found out? He sighed and headed for the door.

Envy returned to the living room to find Ed pacing back and forth, talking on the phone, a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, I understand. We'll be over in the morning to see what we can do. Call me if anything comes up, okay? Bye." The phone beeped as he hung up.

The look on Ed's face troubled Envy. Something was wrong.

"Who was that?" Envy inquired nervously.

"It's Al," replied Ed, his voice cracking with tears. He plopped down onto the couch and put his head in his hands. Tears and sobs began flowing out freely now.

"He's missing!"

Dun, dun, dun xD well there you have it! please review and I'll try to update soon!
