And there won't be a huge wait before I give you the next chapter I already have it written but I won't be posting it for a few days.

And to my reviewers:

Bella: Thanks for the review and kind words. x'D I'm sorry, but I want Ed to be a virgin for Envy, BUT! I did fit in something that you may like and wouldn't be there if not for you. It actually fit quite nicely and gave me a path to take for the next chapter.

Chapter 4 (Finally)

Could be Worse

Edward sighed. He started packing to pack up his notes. He had been working on his science project all evening and all he had so far was his diagram of how the Rube Goldberg would work (or at least, hopefully work) and a list of materials that would be needed for each step. The way he saw it was that the more he got done at home on his own time, the less time he would have to spend on it with Envy at school. His only regret was not working on it on Saturday as well, that way he might have even finished the model too.

Another sigh. He walked out into the living room where he knew Al was. "Hey, Al? I'm going to go to bed now, good night. You ought to start getting ready for bed as well, it's getting late."

"You're not mom Ed. Stop telling me what to do!"

Edward heaved another huge sigh. "Good night, Alphonse."

(The next day)

"You!" Ed whipped his head around toward the voice. What he saw was the angry face of who he recognized as a senior. Ed also didn't fail to see the strange white hair and oddly shaped scar. He wore long sleeved shirt that covered his tanned arms and a pair of baggy, knee length shorts.

"What?"

"So you're Ed?" the senior questioned.

"The one and only." Was the smart-ass reply. Ed found himself pinned against a locker in the empty hallway. "What the hell is your problem!?"

"Honestly? You. I think you're getting in the way." The senior continued to threaten him about something that Ed didn't even understand or had ever heard of.

"Seriously, what the hell are you talking about!?" Edward's head was slammed into the locker. He blinked a few times.

"And if I see it happen again, I'll fuck you up." He released Ed and with a glare, he stalked off.

"Fucking retard." Ed said rather loudly to himself. He scoffed and straightened his shirt then went to find his friends for lunch. He didn't even realize Envy watching from down the hall.

(In the cafeteria- yes, I do find these pointful)

"And then he just walked away?" That was Havoc.

"Yeah. He frickin pinned me against the wall, threatened me and then walked away." That was Ed, shrugging.

"Messed up." That was Roy, random, and took a bite of his sandwich. (A/N: that sentence sounded funny.)

"What do you think Russell?" Ed asked the other blonde. Russell though, wasn't really paying attention, hadn't even heard what they were talking about. He was watching as Envy stared at Ed from across the cafeteria and then as he pushed off the wall he had been leaning on and walked to the teen who had cornered Ed. There was an angry look on the green haired boy's face.

"Russell?" The teen in question looked over at Ed, surprised.

"What?"

"Have you been listening to anything I've said?"

"Yeah, yeah. What did you say?" Russell turned his head back to where Envy had his hand on the scarred-faced teen's arm in a vice like grip. Then the two seniors left the cafeteria. "Did you see that?"

"See what?" Ed asked, looking around, bewildered.

"Sorry, nevermind." Russell looked very thoughtful as Ed told him what had happened between him and the scarred kid.

"What's that look for?"

"Hmm? Nothing, just thinking."

"Something's wrong with you today."

Russell chuckled. "Or maybe the locker did more damage to your small head that you thought. Not that you think much."

"Who the hell are you-" Russell cut the rant off by shoving Ed's half eaten sandwich into the blondes ranting mouth.

Ed walked slowly to his science class, dreading the next forty minutes that he would be forced to spend with Envy. He still got to the classroom before everyone else. He went to his desk while he ignored the friendly greeting that his teacher gave him. The blonde scowled at his binder while he pulled his notes from the night before out.

"Okay class, get with your partner and start getting your diagrams drawn out." The teacher directed when the class had seated themselves.

Ed trudged over to Envy's desk only to realize that there was no Envy at the desk. "Stupid asshole." The blonde sat on the other's desk and swung his legs while he waited for the teacher to come around so he could explain why he wanted a partner switch. There was no way in hell that Ed was getting off his ass to tell the teacher that his partner had responsibility issues and couldn't keep committed to him. And that he also liked to skip classing. And he told himself he wasn't blushing from how he worded that in his head.

"Off my desk." Speak of the devil. Ed slipped off the desk and turned around to meet violet eyes.

"Where were you? Am I the only one doing any work?"

Envy glared down at him and that just infuriated Ed. He hated to admit he was short but he hated it more when people look down on him. "Don't lecture me, Shrimp. I don't want to hear it. Especially from you." Ed was about to snap a retort when the older teen interrupted his unsaid sentence. "Well then, let's see all this work you've done."

Ed growled and held out the notes to him. Envy snatched them and scanned them quickly. "I like mine more." Was the simple remark. The blonde's immediate reaction was to yell at Envy for making fun of his diagrams but then he realized what the older one had said.

"Yours?" Edward questioned slowly.

Envy's only reaction was to smirk. Ed snatched back his papers. "Why so surprised? Do you actually think that I want to spend more time with you than I absolutely have to?"

"What's wrong with spending time with me?!" Ed huffed. "And who said I wanted to spend all my time with you?!" By now the whole class was watching the dispute.

Again, Envy just smirked. Ed growled. "You stupid ass!" The class was starting to snicker. Ed was flushed with anger and humiliation as he stormed out of the classroom.

"Envy," the teacher, who had been watching with amusement, started, "You should really apologize to him."

"Whatever." Envy shrugged and left the classroom with the intention of skipping the rest of the school day.

After storming out of the classroom, Ed had started running and didn't stop until he was outside the school doors and had slammed into someone. "Ah, fuck! I'm sorry but watch where the hell you're going." Ed spat while he picked up his scattered notes. Looking up, he scowled when he realized it was the scarred senior. This time though, unlike earlier, the white haired teen had a bloodied nose that looked to be broken.

"You're in no place to be telling me what the hell to do." He growled, pushing Ed up against the wall of the school. Edward's eyes widened momentarily and he tried shoving the taller and obviously stronger teen away. When that didn't work he hissed, "What the hell is your problem?"

"Shut up! I gave you a warning and you ignored me and went on and told that shit face."

"I didn't fucking tell anyone you bastard. What the hell are you talking about? Why don't you leave me the fuck alone?"

The senior glanced around the parking lot, making sure no one was around. When he was confident that no one was there he turned back to Ed, grinning. The older boy raised his fist and then brought it down, connecting it to the side of Ed's jaw. Edward's head snapped to the side and positively reeled. He blanked and fumbled to stay upright, which failed. Again the fist slammed into his face. And again. And then again.

Ed was certainly out of it. More than out of it and knew he couldn't think straight but there was no mistaking it when he felt a hand groping him. He grunted and through the blood dripping from his brow, into his line if vision, he saw the taller boy with a malicious grin as he started to unbuckle his belt, undo the button and slide down the zipper of the blonde's pants.

Said blonde tried to push himself away but only managed to succeed in squirming his way, with the senior's help, partially out of his pants.

"Get the fuck off him, Scar." Ed's jumbled mind recognized the voice. Who was that again?

"Can't you see I'm busy Envy?" What were they saying? Why couldn't he understand the words?

"Don't make me break more than just your nose this time Scar. Don't doubt that I won't." He took a step forward. Scar grinned.

"Oh Envy, you ruin all my fun." Envy glared at the retreating back of the other senior before he went forward and knelt by Ed.

The blonde was vaguely aware of his pants being pulled back up to his waist and done back up. "Envy?" Ed mumbled, almost incoherently.

"Shut up." Yep, that was Envy. He felt the ground fall away and realized dizzily that he was pressed to a chest and then the world was moving and he blacked out.

A/N: I like where i left it... Sorry it took so long.

Reviews are nice.
