Momo: Er hm! This will be my first ever high school fic! This will be Yaoi and rated M again, since Momo me was a big pervert, and was up to some violence.
Yuki: Please note that Momo do not own FMA, even though she wish she could.
Momo: And please take note of something; since this is my very first high school fic, there would be some parts which will be unclear. So it will be me, or a FMA character you requested to answer your question.
Yuki: The question can be about the character, school, or some personal settings that Momo made for the characters.
Lin: Another thing; the pairing is mainly EdwardxEnvy; while there will be hints of RoyxEdward. The other pairings have not been decided yet, so feel free to request some, and Momo will think about putting it up.
Momo: And so far, the warnings are:
1. I don't own FMA
2. This is Yaoi and rated M for some purpose, and don't expect to see lemon too soon.
3. Prepare for the OOC of the characters
4. Flames will be extinguished by Yuki, even though you are not pleased with the story. (Though I will prefer to have none of them)

In the classroom, where only sounds of scribbling on the paper and light steps of the teacher were taking could be heard; the students were lowering their head; focus on the test paper on their table.
But there was just one student; sitting at the back of the classroom, last in the role and beside the window.
Leaning onto the heel of his hand, his emerald bangs were hanging down at his back, tied up into a low ponytail with a black rubber band. The uniform he was wearing has a long-sleeve dark blue outer shirt which wasn't button, inside was a white shirt with three buttons undone, along with a long dark blue pants.
His pair of cat-like amethyst eyes was looking at the pen he was holding in his right hand, tapping onto the paper with the point, leaving down drops of ink on the blank test paper.
He let out a groan, looking up to the whiteboard with words of the subject tested and time in black.
"I freaking hate test . . ." Envy murmured as he look at the teacher, who was 4 tables beside and 3 table in front of him. His eyes turn to the blond in front of him.
He kicks at leg of the chair that the blond was sitting, startling the secretly sleeping blond.
Wearing the same uniform, just that his shirt was button up and has a blue tie, the blond's hair was tied up into a ponytail.
Pushing up the specs on his nose that seems to cover the half of his face and those pair of golden orbs of his, Edward rub his sleepy eyes with his finger, before turning his head back a little to see what's the matter.
Envy tosses him a disgusted look. That blond was always wearing that ugly and not to mention, big specs of his that seems to cover his face. But no doubt, he was the only one who can help him now.
He kick his chair once more as he tap on his paper with his pen hard, asking for the blond for help. Edward groan; did he expect him to help him with the answers?
He look at the teacher, who just turn away to look at the other students as Edward turn back again.
Hell yeah, like I'm going to help you after you destroyed my good dream. Edward turns back to his paper, looking at his test paper which was filled up. He lay down as he drifts into dreamland again, too sleepy to think about the consequences he will get for ignoring Envy.
Envy narrowed his eyes. He kicks on the blond's chair hard, waking up the blond again. Edward groan, turning his head back as he met with Envy's furious glare. Envy tap on his paper hard, with more force than just now.
Edward narrowed his eyes, though it can't be seen as that spectacle of his was too thick for anyone to see through it from the outside, but his vision was actually quite fine. He tried to glare back at Envy, but reconsidered when he just remembered that Envy will not be able to see it.
He turns his head back to his desk, pulling out his notebook under his desk as he tore down a page.
He scribble down on the paper quickly, folding it into a quarter as he quickly put it on Envy's table while the teacher wasn't looking. Envy went over as he picks up the paper, unfolding it as he copy down the answers.
"You should have done that earlier, stupid shrimp. . ." Envy hissed. Edward twitched, slowly lifting his head up as he murmured something that became louder and louder.
"I'm not the mindless little shrimp who will be STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT HEAR THAT!!!" Edward shouted as he stood up of his seat. Everyone stopped and look at him.
"Edward Elric, what is the matter?"
"Nothing at all, Dr. Macro . . ." Edward said as he slowly sits down again. Macro sigh as he murmured, "Youngster today . . ."
-
"Alright class is over, you may go now." Macro said as he stacks up the test paper that he had just collected. Everyone picked up their books and bag as they rush out of the room when the bell rang.
Forcing himself to stay awake; Edward strolls out of the classroom with his bag over his shoulder as he yawns tiredly. His eyes widen when he was suddenly pulled away.
"Woah, what are you doing!?" Edward cried out, feeling himself being dragged on his collar.
"Shut up, shrimp." Envy snarled, tossing Edward a look as he continues dragging him around.
Edward was about to react to the short comment, but shut his mouth when he was tossed into the lockers.
Edward tried to stand up properly, but was taken back when he felt the hard blow on his stomach. Edward winced at the pain, Envy pull his hand together, yanking it behind his back as he turn the blond around and press him against the locker.
Edward groaned, narrowing his eyes as he snapped, "What are you trying to do!?"
"Just giving you a little lesson, for not giving the help I need." Envy said, pushing the blond towards the locker more as he lean over to his ear.
"I did help you!" Ed said through his gritted teeth, trying to break loose of the grip on his hand.
"By the time I get your stupid note, I only have 5 minutes to copy the darn whole thing. Taking your own sweet time huh? You do need someone to knock some senses into you . . ."
"The one who needs the fucking senses is you!" Edward spitted. Envy narrowed his eyes, grabbing Edward's hair as he yank it down, making Edward groan out loud.
"Whatever; now if you dare to even take about my little encounter with you today, you are asking for another trouble." Envy said, before whacking his head onto the lockers, letting the blond go as he stomps down the corridor.
"Argh . . ." Edward sit up, holding his hurting head with his hand.
"Edward, are you alright?" Edward takes down his broken glasses as he looks at the person beside him.
"Fuery . . ."
"Are you alright? What did Envy have anything to do with you?" Fuery ask, helping Edward to stand up as Edward murmured, "He's just being bitch, don't worry I'm fine."
"But he got you into this state, and he broke your glasses . . ."
"I'm fine really, and it's better off with these glasses." he said as he snap the glasses in his hand into half, picking up his bag before walking down the corridor as he toss his broken specs into the dustbin.
Fuery caught up with him, walking by his side as he asks, "Edward, should we inform this to the student council? You are good friends with the student president after all-"
"There's no need for all these commotion, and I'm not good friends with that bastard." Edward said.
"Then how are you going to explain your injury to your family?"
"That, I will be thinking of something."
-
Envy yank off the rubber band tying his hair, letting his hair flow down on his shoulder. Stuffing the rubber band in his pocket, he walks out to the back of the building, taking out his bag which he had been hiding it in the bush.
Throwing the bag over his shoulder, Envy started walking out of the school gate, just as a red car stopped in front of him.
The window of the car scroll down, revealing a woman with black hair that reaches her shoulder; her ruby lips form a smirk. She was wearing black sunglasses, which covers her eyes. Her age seems to be around 30.
She was wearing a yellow long-sleeve shirt, with another white shirt underneath it as a few necklaces with black beads hang around her neck. Her hands were on the driving wheel, the diamond ring on her right hand sparkles under the sunlight.
She lean over as she open the car door, saying in an ordering manner, "Get up the car."
"Dante . . ." Envy narrowed his eyes as he hissed under his breath. He got into the car, tossing his bag at the backseat as he close the door. Dante smile as she starts drove away.
-
"Edward, what happened to you honey?" Trisha asks as she saw the injury on Edward's forehead.
"Nothing Mum, just a little too harsh during gym." Edward said, giving his mother a reassuring smile.
"Is that so? Be careful the next time."
Trisha was a woman with a pair of silver eyes and long chestnut color hair, tying it a low ponytail. She was wearing a purple dress, with a simple white apron over it.
"Nii-san, do you even have gym lesson for today?"
". . . Shut up Alphonse. I don't want Mum to be worry."
Alphonse sigh, looking at Trisha at the corner of his eyes as he said, "Yeah you are right. I understand why you didn't want Mum to be worry about you. And we are about to leave too, just picking you up before we leave."
Alphonse was Edward's little brother. Just that he had a darker blond hair that was tied into a neat ponytail, a pair of silver eyes and a different attitude, and a few centimeters taller than Edward. He was wearing a light blue shirt and black jeans, folding his arms as he toss Edward a sympathy look.
"You had done packing already?" Edward asks. Alphonse nod, pointing at the boxes that was sealed and placed around the house.
The Elrics are moving out, in order to meet Alphonse studying environment. The school was too far from their house, so they have to move. Except for Edward, that is.
Since young, Trisha was the only one managing their incomes, though Edward did took up a few part time jobs to help support the family. Edward could go study in a better school, but didn't since they can't afford it and Edward feel fine with it. But now, since they have enough money to let Alphonse in to a better school, so why not?
"I'm sorry nii-san, for leaving you like this . . ."
"Don't worry, once I finished my studies and have enough money, I will move over." Edward smile, patting onto Alphonse back as he climbs up the stairs.
He went up into his room, which was now empty. His suitcase was placed on his bed, while there were a few boxes stacking up beside the bookshelf.
He went to open his closet, finding nothing but a pair of black leather jeans and a sleeve-less high collar red shirt, folded nicely with a brown leather belt on it.
He smiles as he took over the clothes, walking out of the room as he took the towel hang behind the door, walking into the bathroom for a shower.
-
After the shower, Edward has already dress up, with his towel over his wet hair. With his uniform in his hand, he checks himself in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom.
"Darn, it's darn obvious . . ." Edward murmured, looking at the obvious red mark on his forehead.
"That darn senseless palm tree, I will crack that senseless head of his the next time I saw him."
As he walks out of the washroom, Edward saw Trisha standing outside of it. Trisha smile gently at him as she take his hand, "Come, I will do your hair for you."
"Mum I can do it myself-" Edward stopped his words when he saw the tears in Trisha's eyes.
They went into her room, as Trisha asks Edward to sit in front of the mirror-table. Drying his hair with the towel, she starts drying his hair with the hairdryer when his hair isn't as wet as before.
"Edward, it will be months, or maybe years before we can meet again."
"Mm, I will try to take out time to visit you during the long holidays."
"No, you still have to save up your money don't you?" Trisha said, shutting off the hairdryer as she place it on the table.
"And, I don't want you to have any problem with money when I'm not here. You don't really need to send your money over after you got them from your work." Trisha said as she pick up the comb, started combing the blond's hair.
"That money is a bit too much for my own use, so it's okay to send them to you." Edward said. He flinches when Trisha tugged down on one of his tangled hair.
"Sorry. But even though it's too much for you, you still have to keep it, since it's different for now. You will be living by yourself, now you are only temporary living in the other's home; you can't just live there for free you know."
"By the way, which relative was that, my cousin?" Edward asks, looking up at Trisha.
"He's a long relative and . . . Sort of your cousin."
"So which relative is he?"
"It's sort of long . . ."
"It's fine, just say so."
"He's, my sister's son's cousin's father's nephew's brother in law's little sister's third son."
". . . That was long."
Trisha smile, leaning over his shoulder as she said, "Not only that, I heard that he was in the same school and level as you."
Edward was startled, he look at Trisha as he ask, "Is he in the same class as me?"
"I'm not sure, why don't you ask him when you are there?" Trisha said, turning her attention back to the blond's hair, started braiding it.
"Your hair is just like your father's, so rich in gold . . ." She let go of his hair again, running her fingers through his locks, started to braid it again.
Edward narrowed his eyes, nibbling on his lower lip as the fist on his lap clench harder.
"If that bastard didn't leave us on that day, we wouldn't need to have such a hard life." Edward said, just as Trisha finished braiding his hair, tying it with a red rubber band.
"Edward, do you know what makes me go through these hardships?"
"No," Edward said as he looks at Trisha. Trisha squat down beside him, her hand on his shoulder as she said, "It's because I have the both of you, and I thank your father giving the both of you to me."
"Yet he's not a responsible father."
"Edward-"
"Enough, I'm not going to hear more about that bastard." Edward said, standing up from his seat as he starts to walk out of the room.
Trisha smile bitterly, she sigh as she said, "Till now, Edward still hasn't forgive you."
She stood up, picking up the photo on the table as she caresses the frame with her finger.
"Hoheheim, when will you be back?"
-
As Dante drive the car.
There was silence between them, no one utter a word. Envy lean by the window, pressing his head on the glass as he look at the familiar scenery outside the car.
"Envy, remember the time I told you that a relative is going to come over? He is also in the same school as you."
"It doesn't matter with me." Envy replied.
"No, it matters to you greatly." Dante said as her smirk became wider, but just a little.
Envy gave her a sideway glance, totally confused about her words.
"You know your sister, Lust and Sloth. They have been living together in their apartment, and wouldn't be back till late night, and prefer no one to interrupt them."
Envy sit up, as Dante continues, "Greed is away from business, and his place is too far from the school he's studying. Wrath is staying with me, and I already got my handful with him, so I don't think I can manage another one. While your big brother Pride is living with his own family, it wouldn't be good to disturb them."
"And Gluttony, you know how he was. He's too busy from his job, and he's staying in his working place, so he didn't even bother to buy an apartment. Which in the end, leaving you as the best choice for our dear cousin to stay in . . ."
"Fuck, no way! What the hell are you thinking Dante?!" Envy exclaimed, he almost jump out from his seat.
"I should know, there's no way that you can be so kind-hearted to give me a lift . . ." Envy murmured, biting on his lower lip as Dante reply, "How can you say something like that to your mother? And the things are settle, he's moving over today."
"But why am I the only one . . ."
"Isn't it obvious?" Dante said, stopping the car right in front of an apartment.
"Your school is only a 15 minute walk away from your apartment, you guys study in the same school, in the same level, and maybe the same class. You have extra rooms, your brothers and sisters have none, including me."
"Still I'm not going to allow-"
"Don't forget that I'm the one handling the rental fee of your apartment, including your pocket money."
"That doesn't matter-"
"He will be paying you for staying over. I have discussed about the price with his mother, so he will be paying you monthly, until the day he find an apartment to move in."
". . . . . ."
"No objections? Good, now take your bag and scram off back to your house, tidy it up. I will be fetching him here in another 3 hours." Dante said, taking his bag from the backseat as she throws it on him.
After begin 'throw' out of the car, Dante drive off, leaving the stunned Envy there by himself.
". . . April fool is long gone, wasn't it?"
-
Walking to the backyard of the house, what came into Edward's eyes was the swing in the backyard.
The swing was hanged on a tree with the ropes; the sit was a piece of board. It might look fragile, but it still can support quite a weight, and it's still stable.
Edward walks towards it, sitting on it as he holds the rope of his side. He looks down on the ground, on his legs as he gently swing himself on the swing.
Not using too much force to kick off, he closes his eyes, feeling the wind going through him. The swing eventually became slower and slower, but Edward did nothing to speed it up, feeling the coolness slowly drop away with his anger. He land both of his feet on the ground, stopping the swing as his eyes slowly opens once more.
"I knew you would be here."
Edward look up, Alphonse was standing right in front of him with his hands on his waist.
"You will always come here when you got unhappy." Alphonse said, walking beside Edward as he holds onto the rope with his hand, "And it's always after a fight, or Mum mentioning about Dad."
"That bastard is not even fit to be called a father." Edward said as the grip on the rope became tighter.
"But he built this thing," Alphonse said, looking up at the branch that the rope was tying onto. The branch was thick compare to the others, and seems like it won't break off easily.
"He built this thing here that gave you a place to cool down, to think about it. And all these years, you have never taken it down, even though you said you will take it off someday."
"It's someday, but not now. I will take it off eventually." Edward said as he stand up, looking up at the taller blond beside him. Alphonse could see the hint of anger in his eyes; he knows that Edward was still angry about it.
"Well, I don't have the breath to fight with you anymore, Mum's calling you." Alphonse said, patting the back of the older blond.
Edward nod, walking back into the house. Alphonse sigh, a hint of worry on his face as he murmured, "I wonder how our dear 'cousin' is going to take you. Since you are so stubborn, and hate to admit the fact you are short . . ."
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A SUPER MNI SMALL PIPSQUEAK?!"
"Whoops, I better keep it to myself." Alphonse sweat-dropped; how did Edward even hear it when he said it in such a small voice?
-
"Edward, this is Aunt Dante, from today onwards, you will be staying over her son's house." Trisha said as Dante wave at him.
"You are Edward is it? Hello, I see you look like your father a lot . . ." Dante said as she cross her arms, eyeing the blond from head to toe.
Edward twitches a little, but manage to hold in his anger as he smile politely to Dante, "Yes, I hope that we will get along. Your son you said . . ."
"Is there something wrong?" Dante ask.
"No, just that you look quite young to have a children to me."
"Oh my," Dante exclaim as her eyes brighten up, "You are really your father's child, the both of you are so polite . . ."
(Author's interruption: Flirty she means. Those who don't understand, please watch the episode where Hoheheim was flirting with Ross in front of Edward.)
Edward twitches more. He clenches his fist harder to hold himself back from exploding in anger.
"Are you here to pick me up?"
"Oh no hurry," Dante said, 'And I bet Envy is still tidying up the place. H's going to get it from me if he didn't.'
"You can take your things and say your farewell to your family," Dante said as she looks at Alphonse, who just came back into the house.
"Err yeah, sure." Edward said, looking at Trisha as she nods her head.
He went up the stairs, getting his suitcase as he rushes back down again.
"Erm, Aunt Dante . . ."
"Dante will be fine, what is it?"
"I have a few boxes of things that I need to bring over . . ."
"Oh, because of your job isn't it? That's hard for someone as young as you . . ."
"No it's fine actually," Edward replied, can't really stand talking to her now.
"Ok, bring it over to my car then." Dante said, walking out of the house. She look back before closing the door as she smile and said, "Take your time, I will be waiting outside."
As the door close, Edward looks at Trisha and Alphonse. Alphonse smile and said, "I will help you with the boxes."
"I will give you a hand too," Trisha said, smiling as she put her hand Alphonse's shoulder.
Edward smiles a little as he murmured, "Thanks."
-
After moving the things into Dante's car, Edward turns over as he looks at Trisha and Alphonse. Waving them goodbye, but was shocked when Alphonse come forward and gave him a hug.
He smile, gently pat on Alphonse's back as he said, "I'm only away for a few years, it's not like I won't come back anymore . . ."
"You must come back." Alphonse said as he pulls away from the blond, giving the blond a serious look, "You must."
Edward smiles, patting Alphonse on his shoulder as he said, "I will."
-
"You have a good relationship with your family." Dante said as she watches the two walking back into the house.
"Yeah, shall we get going now?" Edward asks.
Dante smile as she said, "Get onto the car young man."
-
"If only I have a child as good as you, I wouldn't need to be so hard on myself now . . ."
Dante sigh, as her car stop in front of the apartment.
If only you will sop chattering, my ears wouldn't need to suffer . . . Edward thought as he get down of the car.
"I will call someone to take your things up, so you just need to grab your suitcase." Dante said as she went out of the car, opening the door of the backseat as she pull out Edward's suitcase and hand it to him.
"Thank you." Edward said as he took over his suitcase.
"No problem," Dante said, walking towards the apartment.
As they walk into the apartment, Edward just noticed how nice the apartment was.
They even have security guards . . . The fee of this apartment must be expensive. Edward shudders at the thought. Just who this 'cousin' was?
"He live at 16th floor . . ." Dante said as they went into the elevator, she presses on the floor button. When they reach the 16th floor, the elevator door opened with a 'clink'.
"Should be here . . ."
They walk to the left, passing 2 doors and went right, walking all the way down to the last room.
She press on the doorbell, as the door opens, Edward widen his eyes in disbelieve when he saw the person opening the door.
"Who is it . . . You!" Envy exclaimed, talking a step back.
"HOLY SHIT!" Edward exclaimed as his hand let go of the suitcase he was holding. Taking a few big steps away from the door.

Momo: MWAHAHAHA! The chapter will stop here! Reviews will make me happy and have the mood to continue, so please do so.
Yuki: Feel free to kill her for leaving a cliff.
Momo: Then you won't get to have the next chapter up.
Lin: Flame her if you want for leaving a cliff.
Momo: And wait till half a year before I could get over with it and proceed on with the story.
Yuki/Lin: . . . In anyway, you are on the disadvantage if you did either of them.
Momo: Anyway, is someone interested to beta it for me? Tell me if you will like to by PM and e-mail, or even MSN.
