A/N: Totally didn't know this would be more than a one shot, since I was only writing it to relieve some pent up frustrations. And so that I wouldn't do what Envy was/is doing. Here's some more, and this chapter will be longer. I hope.
Also; violin.

His eyes were so beautiful in that instant
"Bastard," Ed hissed as Envy's fingers fumbled with his clothing, nearly tearing his shirt off his body to expose the debased skin underneath. Envy licked his lips, the lingering taste of Edwards blood spurring him on with an urgency to have more. Envy had only pressed the blade to make another gash when Ed's knee connected harshly with his side - in his excitement, Envy had failed to notice that Ed had managed to free his leg.
Ed flipped their positions and slammed a weakened fist into the homunculi again and again, grunting with pain and the effort it took to lift his arm and bring it back down. But with each blow, Ed became more feeble and Envy had only to wait until Ed tired himself out.
"Finished yet?" He said with obvious impatience, grabbing a fistful of golden locks and kneeing the boy in the stomach, pushing the alchemist off of him. With a gasp, the young blond boy rolled off the homunculi, grasping at his abdomen in pain.
So much fun
Envy stood and kicked the boy in the side, lifting him into the air momentarily and sending him skidding a few feet. As he approached the prone boy, something caught his eye - something lying in a drying pool of blood. Smiling broadly with a new idea, Envy grabbed hold of the young alchemists arm and started dragging him towards the knife he'd left discarded previously - his own knife was much sharper than the shaky stone one he'd borrowed from Edward.
Kicking the blade up into the air, Envy caught it effortlessly as it sailed down through the air with a soft whirring noise. With a chuckle, Envy glanced back at Ed with delight as he struggled innefectually at seeing the knife. With a wink, the homunculi pulled Ed by the wrist around a mountain of broken and abandoned crates, towards the back of the building where he knew there were various chains and locks and sharp, rusty objects. His feet crunched over broken glass and he dragged Edward over that too, enjoying the noises of pain he made with each step.
As he reached the broken door frame at the back, Envy halted and turned back to Ed, dropping his arm and replaced it with his mechanical leg, pressing the heel of his foot into Edwards' groin as leverage. He paused to see his reaction, satisfied when Ed whimpered and tried to push Envy away desperately. Envy smirked at him, twisting and pulling hard at the artificial leg, rewarded with the same harsh grating as the metal contorted and shattered, braking apart from Ed's body.
Bratty as he was, the enjoyment he brought me was amazing
Dropping the leg as he did the arm, Envy resumed dragging the blond brat across the jagged threshold, noting casually that the kid was bleeding pretty badly and had left quite the trail - he'd get Gluttony or Lust or someone to clean it later. With a small laugh, Envy grabbed one of the tire chains laying around as he passed, pulling the struggling blond alchemist to a wall-ring at the back.
Envy gave Ed a hearty kick in the ribs to still him before binding his arm with the thick iron chain. Ed moaned in pain, obviously holding back from making less dignified noises.
As Envy wrenched the chain around, he brought the young alchemist with him as he looked for, and found, an industrial-looking lock from one of the broken - like absolutely everything else - drawers in a run-down looking desk, swiftly locking Ed in place with the key-less lock.
Ed gave one sobbing gasp as the metal bit into his wrist remorselessly, pinching and twisting his skin until it broke. The Sin smiled sweetly at Ed, pulling the tail end of the chain through the ring until the blond was strung up by the wrist, knees hardly touching the ground for support, and locked that in place as well. Envy chortled at the sight of the renowned FullMetal Alchemist, strung up in chains, bleeding for him, whimpering in pain and crying - crying, like a baby - wishing for mercy.
That would never be given to him
Envy licked his lips like a hungry dog as he crouched next to his new captive.
"Let me go!" Edwards golden eyes were still spilling tears onto his cheeks, but he still chose to glare contemptuously at Envy.
With another manic cackle, Envy drew the tip of Edwards stone dagger down his glistening cheeks gently, almost lovingly. "I don't think I can do that, Edward. After all, you have tried to kill me so many times ..."
Edward gave a shudder, jerking away from Envy, "They know where I am. They will come for me."
"And who's they? The military?" Envy chuckled, "If you've forgotten, the military belongs to us." Edward narrowed his eyes at the homunculi, choosing now to look away silently, childishly. Envy narrowed his own lavender eyes, hissing into the alchemists ear, "Rule one, shrimp; Never look away from me when I'm talking to you."
Disobedient prick
With a sharp crack, Envy hit Ed across the face with the hilt of the dagger. Ed gasped in pain and strained against the chain binding him, trying to push away from the murderous-looking homunculi and running into the wall behind him. After a moment, Envy's cheshire grin returned and he sat back on his haunches, balancing the stone dagger on his finger by the tip of the blade.
Envy regarded Edward for a moment before leaning forwards and plucking the silver pocket watch from his belt, his grin fading to a look of mild curiosity. After a moment, Envy tossed the object over his shoulder and with one fluid movement, held one dagger to Ed's throat, resting the other against the alchemists ribs. He no longer looked amused, even when Ed's face paled and fear crossed his eyes.
"Maybe I should just get rid of you," He asked, his voice almost low enough to be a whisper, "And save myself some trouble?"
Ed shook his head stiffly and said in a tight, nearly hysterical voice, "I'll kill you first, you bastard."
Envy shook his head sadly and leaned closer to the alchemist, splitting his skin in both places with the extra pressure. His head listed to one side casually with a sigh, "Talk like that and I might-" he pressed the dagger into Ed's fleshy neck easily, leaving a small, shallow, cut, "-have to do something-" he pulled the dagger away as a small cascade of blood poured from the new wound, "-we both regret."
Pushing it
With a gasp, Edwards head jolted back and, with a sound like a butcher's cleaver against a raw steak, bounced off the wall. Envy watched his head loll awkwardly, stopping cocked to one side and staring back at him with a blearily half-grin plastered on his face. "You'll never get away with this, Envy."
"I already have," He replied in a faux gaiety, dropping the dagger and grasping Ed's hair before descending on the trickle of blood as a vampire might. Smirking into the blond's neck, Ed made a squeaking noise - which quickly turned into a stifled whimper - as Envy sucked at the wound gently, stroking the edges with his tongue. When Envy pulled away, Edward's body trembled slightly. He rolled the blood along his tongue to commit the taste to memory, because who knew when he'd next get to taste something so delicious. With a smile on his face once more, Envy gave a good, healthy tug on Ed's hair that jerked him to the side and tore out more than a few strands from his scalp. "You see, I'm not in all that good of a mood. You'd do well to listen to me, got it?" He jerked Edwards head up to bear his neck without waiting for an answer, smiling sweetly when another whimper escaped the boy's throat.
Letting go of Ed's now-ragged hair, Envy stood and stretched languidly. He patted the alchemists head once, choosing to ignore Ed when he spat at him, sauntering over to the run-down desk that stood against the only other standing wall in the cramped office-room. He hopped onto the desk without a second thought, not even checking to see if it would hold his weight - which it did. Envy leaned back against the cool cement wall, letting his eyelids slide closed for a few moments as he listened to Edwards vain struggle to find a weakness in the chain that bound him. After several moments, Envy's eyes reopened and he stared down at his blood-stained knife as if contemplating something.
Without warning, Envy grasped the knife and made a fervent slash at his arm, slicing through the skin and muscle easily, severing the veins and arteries and all that other crap that ran down that way. His mouth opened and a soft moan escaped his parted lips, pain shooting up his arm in hot, stinging waves. Envy rode out the first waves of pain contentedly before they started ebbing. He stared down at his bleeding arm with half-lidded eyes as he hacked at his arm viciously, uncaring if Edward saw him mutilating himself.
Pure bliss; ecstasy even
When he'd left a considerable amount of angry, jagged scores up and down his left arm, Envy switched the blade into his left hand, grasping the blood-slicked handle weakly. With a more mastered hand on his emotions, Envy pressed the blade to his wrist with a trembling hand and sliced the skin neatly, clear to the bone, closing his eyes once more as a simper smile flitted across his face.
"Why ...?"
Envy cracked open an eye, peering out for the hoarse and cracked voice, feeling his left arm regenerate itself with help from the stone inside of him. With a sigh, Envy held his newly-healed arm over his eyes. "Why what? Why cut myself?" When Envy failed to get an audible response, he looked back at the boy with a scowl, who was obviously unnerved by the display. Ed nodded weakly at Envy before looking away - as if his curiosity was something to be ashamed of. Envy smirked, "Because, Edo-kun, I'm sick; Twisted; Macabre; Sadistic. Need more of an explanation, or may I continue?"
Ed shook his head, staring at the ground, a rosy tint gracing his drying cheeks. The homunculus smirked and sliced up his arm, past the elbow and nearly to his shoulder with one stroke before laying a deep criss-crossing pattern down the line. When he reached his wrist, Envy slid off the desk and stole over to Ed once more, kneeling with his arm held before him like an offering. Upon seeing Envy's blood-spewing arm, Edward looked up at the green-haired one questioningly.
"Wanna taste?"
Envy laughed deliriously at the horrified and disgusted look Edward gave him, doubling over and clutching the alchemist around the shoulders with his not-bleeding arm. Envy's hysterics slowly quieted down to sporadic chuckling and tears of laughter were caught in his lashes when he sat in front of Edward. By that time, however, Envy's arm had healed itself. Envy grinned at Edward but stared at him with a slightly bored expression as he plunged his knife into his own leg to see Ed's reaction.
How long had I been such a psychopath?
Ed winced and stared at the lavender eyed lunatic in front of him in concern - concern both for himself and the homunculi. His breathing became quickened in fear as he watched Envy pull the knife from his leg, immensely - and visibly - relieved when Envy placed the blade beside him.
"What're you afraid of, kid?" Envy leaned in close to the blond's face, "Not me, surely?" Envy's hand shot back to the blade lightning quick and Ed cringed and turned his head away instinctively, as if expecting a blow. Amethyst eyes searched Edwards face briefly before turning it back to look at him fully. Ed shrank away from the touch as if it stung him, alarmed with how close Envy was getting.
"N-not a kid ..." He muttered as Envy's hand inched it's way down Ed's chest. The blond alchemist recoiled from the homunculi's hand, suddenly very afraid at the look he was receiving.
Too long
"You're a smart kid, Edward," Envy's hand hooked itself into Ed's belt, the other one grasping the blade again, "Don't you forget that. But you're just too hot-headed and cocky," He sliced through the leather like butter, "So someone ought to teach you a lesson."
"L-let go ... Stop .. Stop it!" Ed's voice finally found itself and he started struggling against Envy when he realized what was happening.
"Wouldn't you rather that lesson be taught to you by someone you know?" Envy smirked mockingly at Edward as he whimpered and strained to get away. Edwards pants sagged around his hips, and Envy's fingers glided down the exposed flesh with a chuckle.
"N-no ..." Ed groaned, "Envy, don't do this to me!" The blond twisted away from the homunculi desperately, ignoring the biting pain in his wrist as the chain reopened the freshly clotted wounds. "Please!"
Envy paused to survey the shallow cut running down from Ed's shoulder to his hip, ignoring his pleading. The cut was hardly more than a scratch, and the homunculi grinned up at Edward. He pressed the blade into the cut at the top, resting his head on the brats chest as he sliced down the length of the cut, making it deeper. He watched it bleed momentarily before the urge to have Ed's blood overcame the Sin and he started lapping at the wound.
"Don't do what, Edward?"
Envy smirked, not waiting for an answer as he pulled away to make another cut that ran parallel to the first. Edward gasped and grit his teeth in pain, twisting his body and kicking out with his good leg, hitting Envy square in the chest and knocking him away.
