A/N: Well… I guess you do like this fic… For I got 5 reviews! Thank you! I also know that it wasn't that long ago that I posted that chapter. I'm just in a crazy creative mode! I love writing this fic too! So here it is!

Ed: She's doing horrible things to me!

Envy: Well, I'm crazily OOC…

Ed: But, you never lived in a shed!

Envy: Good point…

Areku: On with the fic!

Roy was glaring down at the short blonde. Oh how he wanted to crush the blonde to the ground. He had probably told that damn Envy everything. Ed had been getting oddly close to Envy, Roy didn't like this.

'What the hell do you want?' Envy blurted out to break the awkward moment. It only made it worse.

'I just want to see my Edo-kun.' Roy replied simply.

'I'm not yours anymore, ROY!' Ed yelled Roy's name in a menacing way. He was trying to sound bigger. It wasn't going all that well for the short boy.

'What!' Roy tried to sound surprised. The two boys he was trying to fool saw right through it though. 'You mean, we're over?' Roy tried to sound hurt.

'You already knew that, Roy.' Ed was hating every second of this conversation. He hated everything to do with Roy. He had hated anyone so much in his life.

'Let's go home and make Greed buy us ice cream' Envy wanted to distract Edward.

'Okay!' Edward put on a big smile. He started to skip (YES HE WAS SKIPPING!) away.

'Don't you dare!' Roy brought out his most horrifying voice. He grabbed the blondes wrist and flung him to the ground. 'You can't leave me. I never said we were over!' Roy was in a blind rage now. He slapped Edward hard across the face.

Envy wanted to help, he was so shocked he was planted to the ground though. What could he do? How could he help poor Ed? He cringed when he say that Ed's face was bright red from where Roy's hand had hit him.

Roy brought down his hand to Ed's cheek again. This time he had turned his ring around to cause the skin to tare. At the sight of Edward's blood, Envy jumped on Roy. He got Roy off of Ed and on the ground.

Edward was lying on the ground in a daze. He got up slowly and took Envy's hand. Somehow he got himself to say, 'Let's go get that ice cream.'

They were half way to Envy's place when Edward finally snapped out of it. Envy had held Edward's hand tightly the whole way. He was scared the blonde would collapse. He was trembling, but so was Envy.

'I'm sorry.' Ed quietly mumbled.

'For what?' Envy asked knowing Edward thought that whole mess was his fault.

'I didn't know Roy was like that.' Ed said. 'He was so full of rage. I couldn't stop him.'

'It wasn't your fault Roy got mad. He was only trying to break you! He was trying to get you so upset you wouldn't know what to do. Can you see that?' Envy tried to sound nice. It wasn't his best quality. In fact it wasn't one of his qualities. He was trying to change that he wasn't nice for Ed. He wanted to be nice to Ed all the time.

'Well he did it then.' Ed fell to his knees on the sidewalk and started to cry.

Envy hugged Ed tightly. 'It wasn't your fault. It was his fault. You shouldn't feel bad.' This was very hard for Envy.

'I'm sorry. I'm not good enough for you.' Ed wouldn't look at Envy.

'What are you talking about! NOT GOOD ENOUGH? You're perfect! I love you! STOP HURTING YOURSELF!' Envy was getting mad. He hated that Roy had done this. 'I love you, Ed.'

They got to Envy's house. It had taken Envy some crazy persuasion skills to get Edward to move from that spot he had crumbled at. He had fallen so far down in that hole called depression Envy thought Ed would never leave the sidewalk.

'How would you two be doing?' Greed was playing around with words. He was trying to get somewhere in life. He was going to an acting school in town. He had had Envy when he was rather young. And Envy's mother had died too. So Greed had gotten his life stuck in a rather sticky spot. He wanted to do something other then work at the local gas station his whole damn life.

Envy groaned. 'We want ice cream. We finished our exams.' Envy collapsed on the couch with Edward beside him.

'You want me to bring it back here?' Greed asked. He realized how exhausted they were. He also decided to ask what had happened after they all finished the ice cream they wanted.

Envy mumbled out a yes. Once Greed had left the house, they were surrounded by an awkward silence.

Envy broke it by saying, 'Greed didn't notice your cut. Let's fix it up.'

Envy wandered slowly upstairs and found the first aid kit that Greed had insisted on keeping. Envy had needed it a lot as a kid. He was really glad Greed had kept it.

'Ed? Do you have anymore cuts?' Envy saw the bruise on Ed's wrist were Roy had grabbed him. The right wrist was all purple and black. It must have hurt. Suddenly Envy noticed that Ed's left wrist was slightly discoloured too. Roy hadn't grabbed that wrist. What was it? (A/N: Edward doesn't have automail in this fanfic.)

Envy fixed up the little blondes cheek. 'Ed, I would like for you to take off your shirt.' Edward looked shocked at this command. 'Sorry, I just want to see if you have any scratches from falling on the ground.'

Ed felt reassured and took off his shirt. He was burning a bright red. He didn't want the sin too see all his bruises. He had been beat that time before with Roy. When Roy had raped him. Edward had been too embarrassed to show Envy all his bruises.

'Woah!' That was all Envy could saw. The delicate Edward was all cut up and mangled. He had nasty bruises everywhere. 'This was all Roy?' Envy managed to say.

Ed nodded in embarrassment. Envy carefully wrapped bandaging around Ed. He had put padding under the bandage. He didn't want Ed to be in pain all the time. He softly hugged Ed when he finish. He felt so sorry for Ed. He had never felt sorry for anyone other then himself in his whole life.

'I'm sorry.' Envy whispered in Edward's ear. He leaned back to see Edward's confusion. 'I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I'll protect you.'

Ed was crying. He was going to hold Envy to that promise. If Envy ever broke it, Ed didn't know what he would do.

'Don't cry.' Envy looked sad. 'I don't want to see you like this.'

Greed walked in with ice cream as Envy wiped away Ed's tears. Ed was still shirtless. Greed handed them their ice cream and Ed his shirt.

'Ok, I was going to wait until after the ice cream, but I can't.' Greed explained his reasoning first. 'What happened?'

Envy explained everything so Ed could just eat his ice cream. Ed had put on his shirt before taking the ice cream Greed had handed him.

When the painful truth was out Greed looked shocked. He had his jaw wide open. The ice cream he had just put in his mouth was quickly melting onto his shirt.

'Close your mouth! You don't want to ruin your new shirt!' Envy commanded. He had bought that shirt for Greed. Greed did as he was told. His eyes stayed very much wide.

'I don't know what to say.' Greed was never at a loss for words.

'Don't say anything at all then.' Envy mumbled.

'I'm so sorry.' Greed was trying to sound nice. Like Envy he wasn't the nicest person on the planet. He was, in fact, worse then Envy sometimes, if that was believable. 'You two can hide out in the house. I wouldn't mind.'

'We silently planned on that I think.' Envy managed to get that much out. He was close to tears. The whole thing was finally weighing down on him.

Greed mumbled a few swears then said, 'Envy, we have to go visit some of your cousins this week.'

'What!' Envy looked at Ed.

'Can I stay here without you? I don't mean to intrude on your family visit. I also don't mean to intrude on your house. I just don't think Roy knows where you live yet.'

'Why don't you come?' Greed was trying hard to sound like a father-figure for Ed.

'I don't want to met people right now. I will just suck away all the happiness and excitement.' Edward managed a weak smile.

Envy knew this was going to be a hard week for both Ed and himself. He really didn't want to leave Ed, but he had to go. He didn't like to make his family mad. Once his little cousin had almost killed him when he hadn't come to the family reunion. He was to scared to have that happen again.

Envy and Greed left the next day. Greed had filled the house with food for Ed. He had rented a bunch of videos too. Envy had given Ed the extra key just in case he needed more food. He really doubted the would happen, for Greed had gotten lots of food.

Envy felt very bad for the first hour of the trip to his cousins' place. He soon realized he was only gone until the end of the week. It was only four days. Ed could just live in his house for that time.

Meanwhile, Edward was watching a movie. He had a box of cookies in his lap. He was watching a horror movie. It didn't seem as scary as his life felt.

'I miss you, Envy' Edward sighed as the movie ended. He had been alone in the big house for three hours. He was bored and missed Envy a great deal already.

Envy, in the car, seemed to notice Edward's longing for him. 'I miss you too.' Envy let out a sigh as he noticed the road just stretched on and on.

Ed sighed as he leaned back in the coach. He had put on a samurai movie this time. He didn't know why.

'I am so BORED!' Edward exclaimed. 'I want something to happen!'

As if to grant his wish the doorbell rang. Who could it possibly be? Why would someone come to Envy's empty looking house?

Edward paused the movie and got up anyway. He was halfway to the door when the doorbell chirped at him again. Ed groaned. Why was this person so eager?

The doorbell sounded a third time before Edward reached the door. He opened the door and fainted.

A/N: The end of the chapter! Why would Ed faint? Who is at the door? Find out in the next chapter! (at least 5 reviews again please… I love reviews) I love cliff-hangers. I'm sorry, but they are fun! It also makes you want to read more… Well, most of the time. Next time: Who is at the door that would make Ed faint?

Ed: All I can say to you is… You bitch!

Areku: I could kill you off…

Ed: Then there would be no story…

Areku: Damn… your right.

Ed: Why so mean?

Areku: I, as a fan and author, have every right to do whatever I want to do to the anime characters.

Ed: Really? What makes that possible?

Areku: (Holds up a document that states as an author I can do whatever I want) This is how…

Ed: DAMN YOU TO-

Areku: Let's not make this any worse then it already is… JA MINNA-SAN! (is that right?)
