Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist. I do own neither Envy nor Ed. If I did, that would be part of the story.

Note: Thanks for all the reviews! so as expected here's chapter 2! Not a long one but that's it.

Chapter two: - Escape -

"So? How did it go?" Envy entered the manor, slamming the door behind him. Lust was leaning on a wall not far from Dante who was sitting at a table.

"Shut up, Lust!" Envy didn't even look at her and just continued walking.

"Didn't you have fun?"

"I said shut up!" Envy jumped on Lust and gave her a beautiful punch in the face and got out of the place. Dante sent a questioning look to Lust.

"I don't think we'll be seeing Wrath anytime soon."

Envy got to his room and stretched on his bed.


'Why am I here?'

Ed looked at the sky (more like a bunch of clouds rather than an actual sky), the rain was falling on his face with such a grace not to affect him more than he already was. He was standing in front of a high door and looked at it with confusion.

The door opened, squeaking, letting green strands and violet eyes appear. The homunculus blushed and turned away.

"If it's for Wrath, you didn't have to come." Ed stands still, golden eyes wide open, Envy turns back.

"What are you doing here, o'chibi-san?" He changed his surprised face to the one he usually had and stared at Edward, who's wasn't moving by an inch. He was just standing there, his eyes right in Envy's ones.

Edward then took a step closer. "I have no idea." He closed his eyes and touched Envy's lips with his, pushed him back and closed the door behind them. They were now in the hall of the manor. Ed tightened Envy to his chest with his automail and passed his hand in his hair. Envy was leaning against the wall, the two hands in the air. He lowered them in Ed's hair till he got to the bottom of his braid. He sliced his long fingers in, took the rubber band off and started to untie it. He then went down a bit more and passed his hands under his shirt, took off his coat, his jacket. He then started exploring his lower half and started untying his belt.

"What are you doing?" Ed moved back, breaking their long kiss.

"Mind your own business." Envy pulled him back by the belt and kissed him again. Ed's pupils dilated.

'Shit! What am I getting myself into again?'

"What are you chewing, Chibi-san?" Not receiving any answer, Envy got back to his job while Edward played in his hair. Then after thinking about it, he stepped back, took his jacket and coat and left. Envy looked at him, getting away in the rain.

'Tch… He didn't stay long…'


"I'm back."

"Welcome home."

Al was sitting at the table in the kitchen, reading a book. He didn't even look at Ed coming in, closing the door and sitting with a big sigh. Al turned his head, looking at Ed in the corner of his eye.

"You untied your hair?" Ed flinched, Envy took his band, he couldn't tell that to Al.

"My… rubber band broke." Al returned to his book.

"Things that happen…" Ed got up, took a drink, and sat back. He needed to get rid of that taste of Envy's lips on his. Al looked at him curiously.

"What's up, nii-san?" Ed drank the water. "Nii-san?" He stood and got to his room without a sound. "Nii-san."

Ed grabbed a rubber band, tied his hair and looked at the window with anxiety. Then, without knowing what he was doing, he left passing through the window. He found himself in the park past the street, the one where he met Envy and where everything began. He didn't know why he was here, he didn't want Al to worry, but he started to believe he was lost. He sat down on the lawn, looked at the sky all cloudy. Tears were starting to form up in his eyes; he suddenly heard a sound behind him.

"If it's you, come out." A little face with big violet eyes came out of behind a tree. "Wrath?"

He made a few steps aside to come out of his hiding-place, he looked sad. Ed closed up to him and Wrath jumped in his arms.

"I need your help!" Ed stepped back.

'Wow! I'm popular these days.'

Wrath sat beside the tree and dried his tears. "I've fled, D.- master wants to use me for the Philosopher's Stone, cause I'm the only Homunculus that can use alchemy, and, and…" He started crying again. "I don't want to die!"

"It's fine, calm down, how am I supposed to help you?"

Wrath raised his head and looked at him with his big violet eyes. "Lodge me! Please!" Ed looked at him without knowing what to say. He couldn't lodge Wrath, Envy just asked him to bring him back, if he sees him, Ed's in trouble.

"Eh… well I guess so… but no trouble or you're out!" Wrath smiled and jumped in his arms.

"Thanks!"

The door opened and the smell of foodreached their noses, Ed was so hungry. Al was preparing the dinner; he turnedtowards Ed with a surprised look.

"You went up in your room and came back by the front door?" Ed smiled gently as though he didn't hear.

"Look, we have a guest." Wrath was hiding behind Edward, a bit timid.

"Wrath! You can come in." Wrath quickly entered the house and took a seat. He was hungry too, it had been a few days since he had lasteaten something.
