Saku's Prompt: Roy/Envy- It was only expected that Envy would appear as a demon at the costume party- especially with how devious he often acted. But did he really have to act like he was so devious in the middle of the party, especially disguised as Ed?
Warnings: Mild shounen ai. This thing is actually more Roy/Ed-ish than Roy/Envy-ish...

His black eyes glanced across the room, and they were the only thing visible—besides the man's short, onyx locks—behind his golden mask, which was also adorned with the colors of silver and purple as well as emerald stones. He was, perhaps, a masked prince. Or a fallen king of old cloaked in shadows and the moon's impish beauty. His eyes were of the abyss. He was cloaked in royal silk, robed in black and purple, and he wore green gloves lined with intertwining vines of gold and silver.
Roy beheld the congregation of people at the party. They were a kaleidoscope of hidden evils and atrocities, of unimaginable beauties and fantasies. They painted the image of comedy and tragedy—and everything in between. On Halloween you could be anyone or thing you wanted to be.
He spotted a blonde demon leaning against the wall in the corner, by the drink table. Something drew him to that creature draped in crimson. He kind of reminded him of...
"Ed?" He asked, upon standing next to the man.
"Am I?" That wasn't Ed's voice, but the blonde certainly looked like the shorter man.
The blonde wore a cloak, so Roy couldn't know, unless he could feel the man's metal.
Damn he's beautiful..., The thought came unbidden to The Flame Alchemist's mind.
"You're quite the temptress this evening. Care to dance?" Roy held his arm out for the Ed look-alike to take, but the blonde swiped Roy's arm away.
"Not really. Get lost."
Roy watched the man pick up a glass of red wine, with the same hand that was used to push away Roy's proffered arm. He noticed that the hand, which should be made of metal, was hidden from his view. The blond was not being...careful if he wanted to pull off Ed's character (Would Ed really just stand in the corner at a party and mope?).
"Aren't you rude." Roy sneered.
He just had this gut feeling that the blonde wasn't his Ed.
"No, I'm Envy," was the blonde's equally nasty, sarcastic retort.
Envy? What kind of name is that? One of the Deadly Sins? Roy thought, turning away, suddenly realizing he was...disturbed someone would come to a Halloween party as a demonic Edward Elric.
It just wasn't right.
