Summary: Ed and Al have returned home. Things will never be the same especially when they're rooming with two others. Who are they?

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist.

Ever since they returned from that world, things have been different. He was glad to have al back in his human body, but at the same time, it felt weird. Ed had been used to Al carrying all the luggage or anything heavy. Now he was doing it. Well, he insisted upon it, not wanting his younger brother to pull a muscle.

Another was the increase in spending. Al needed to eat, sleep, shower, and wear clothes. Before, all he had to do was maintain his armor everyday. At least, Ed cut down on his intake, now that he wasn't eating for two. He didn't sleep as long or take naps either, but that wasn't the point.

It was their current housemate or housemates. While Ed didn't mind one, he refused to let the other stay. The other enjoyed making his life miserable every minute of every day all year long. He was evil incarnate. His name was Envy.

The first one while okay was plain weird. Ed never understood the guy, but he helped with the household chores and did odd jobs to help with the finances. However, he sometimes joined the dark side and teased Ed. One bonus about having him around was that he reminded Ed there were people shorter than him even if it was by a few centimeters. He hated looking up all the time. Seriously, why did they have to short change him on height? Al was taller than him, now that he could grow.

"Ochibi, you're not going to grow taller overnight," a cruel voice taunted.

The state alchemist glared at the homunculus. "I know that!" It took him years to gain any height for him, but he hoped that maybe just maybe they'd take pity on him and let him have a growth spurt.

"Then why be obsessive about your height… oh excuse me, lack of height," Envy cackled, feeling superior in every way.

Glaring at the sin, Ed stormed out. He had no retort and knew the homunculus was right for a change. "What are you two doing?"

"Building a glider. We can fly on it," Al chirped. He had been teaching their new housemate about alchemy in their world while he taught Al about his world.

"I don't know. It doesn't look safe," Ed commented, looking at it skeptically.

"We're going to use a test dummy for the initial flight," Al said, easing his older brother's worries.

"Yeah! Hop on it, Ed!"

"Theo!"
