Silence
It was only Wrath and Envy in the house today. Sloth and Pride were at work, Greed was at the devil's nest, and Lust was out with Gluttony looking for the Elrics.
Wrath was upstairs sleeping in and Envy was simply on the couch enjoying the pure silence that'll undoubtedly end as soon as Wrath woke up. Envy was sitting on the couch reading a small pocket book he found in Dante's room. Then he started getting bored so he stared at the wall. Then he stared out the window. Then he stared at the ceiling. Then back at the wall again. With everyone around causing havoc everyday the newfound silence was making him uneasy and he became agitated.
Then he realized something was wrong. If he was in a house, alone, with Wrath, and it's 10:00AM, he should be strangling Wrath for getting on his nerves. Envy began rocking back and forth in his cross-legged position on the couch and whistled a tune to calm himself down. The whistle was sharp and crisp in the eerie silence and it echoed throughout the house. Then…
"I'M A TIGER! FEAR ME!" yelled Wrath as he pounced on Envy's lap. And remember, Envy was nervous like hell so this scared the living crap out of him. Envy gave a frightened squeak that turned into an insidious glare.
"Get off of me YOU LITTLE TWERP!" yelled Envy as he shoved Wrath onto the carpet and off his lap. Wrath just looked at him and tilted his head to the side in a stupid, yet cute, manner.
"I'm bored," said Wrath rather bluntly.
"Amuse yourself then." Said Envy in an annoyed tone.
"OK." Answered Wrath then he clambered back onto the couch, sat next to Envy, and began prodding him with his finger. Envy just looked at him with an 'Are you fricking retarded or something?' look. Then, once again, Envy shoved Wrath off the couch but this time, Wrath just sat there staring blankly.
"If you're just going to sit there all day it's fine with me." Said Envy as he began reading again. Wrath just stared at him for a while and walked away.
'Finally the twerps gone.' Thought Envy and he gave a small chuckle. But after about ten minutes the eerie silence was back. Envy began shaking a bit and his eyes would dart back and forth every time the wind disturbed the drapery. Envy yelped as he heard footsteps and sighed when he found out it was Wrath.
"What do you want, Wrath?" asked Envy in an annoyed tone. Wrath's emotionless stare turned into an evil smirk. He took from behind his back a camera and played back Envy shaking like a little girl in the dark.
Envy just stared at it dumbfounded and then started chasing Wrath around the living room and yelling death threats as he went.
"Wrath, give me that tape or I'LL SQUASH YOU LIKE THE EVIL BUG YOU ARE!" yelled Envy right before Wrath tackled him in his stomach, knocking him unconscious. Realizing what he just did, Wrath ran like hell and crashed though the nearest window (though I don't know why). When Envy returned to consciousness, he stared at the broken window in, once again, that 'is Wrath fricking retarded or something?' look. Envy then got up and looked out the window, careful of the shards, and saw Wrath, who obviously got side tracked from running for his life, tearing up a patch of poor, defenseless daisies. Envy gave Wrath a smack on the head. Wrath registered the fact that he was standing before Envy, as defenseless as the daisies he was recently squashing to smithereens. Wrath, who's brain was working overtime, stood, stared, then ran and hopped into a pond in the garden.
'Yup, that kid really is retarded.' thought Envy as he watched Wrath realize he couldn't swim. Then remembering how pissed Dante would be if she saw Wrath struggling in a pond while he was supposed to take care of him he'd be in pain in so many places. Envy winced at the thought and went to help Wrath.
