Summary: All it takes is one moment to change everything. AU, Drabbles.

Chapter Title: Envy

"Envy." Dante's voice rang through the air as she turned away, causing both homunculus and alchemist to blink in confusion at the seemingly random word.

"M-Mom, right?" asked their son, who seemed to be in a continual state of confusion, at the moment. He only had the barest of memories, apparently, enough to remember who they were, but not much else. They'd have to try to restore that later, apparently.

Dante merely looked over her shoulder. "Envy. That's your name from now on."

Hohenheim could only gape wordlessly for a moment, before speaking up. "Envy? Dante, what kind of name is that? He already has a name, he doesn't need a new one." Envy? No, that was not a proper name for his son…

"He's not himself, anymore, correct?" his wife asked, fixing him with a hard stare. "Or have you not informed him of this fact?"

Truth be told, he hadn't, letting his son believe that his father was good enough at alchemy that he could perform a successful human transmutation. No way was he telling his son he wasn't the real deal. So, wincing inwardly at Dante's words, Hohenheim turned to his son, expecting to see that familiar questioning look, that would symbolize badgering for hours on end, until he got his answers.

Instead, his son was smiling to himself, teeth –feral, not entirely human- glinting as something –what was it, what was wrong with his son?- flitted through his golden eyes. "Envy…" he practically purred, a fang glinting among the teeth in his mouth –since when were his teeth that sharp?- as he smiled. "I like it." And then he cocked his head to the side, his golden eyes flashing, and he was his son once more, happy and bright and annoyed with his fogey father.

A/N: So, I know I said that this would be updating on Saturdays, but considering I've got quite the large buffer at the moment, massive muse for this story, and the drabbles are so short, I've decided to update on both Tuesdays and Saturdays. Anyway, after this chapter is one more main one, and then the story dissolves into drabbles about Envy and Hohenheim's relationships, a few of their experiences, and all the like. Mainly, it's to flesh out a not-evil!Envy. C: Anywho, I hope you enjoy this story, and Thieving Alchemist and Cursed Bunny? You made my day by reviewing. Thanks so much! w
