Here you go, cause I'm nice and stuff. Though I'm re-writing the ending I've decided I don't like it, but it'll be done soon enough and you guys will be all 'yay!' And then all 'B'aww' cause it'll be over. Sucks how that works no?

Trouble in D minor
Chapter 4
Ed growled as he stomped into school, it had been the longest two days of his life, Al had confined him to bed and refused to let him get up. Ed got to first period and was disappointed to see Envy wasn't there yet, so he sat in his seat and waited but he never came, and Edward got a little worried. He wasn't there at lunch either his worry grew more. How he got through rest of the day he had no idea, his mind was too caught up in his thoughts to really comprehend anything else. The next day Ed was half expecting Envy to be gone, but there he was in the practice room, wearing a turtleneck again and a bandage on his face, Ed was so startled he forgot about his apology.
"What happened?" he asked in concern, looking at a bright purple bruise on the boy's non bandaged cheek.
"Nothing much, just fell up some stairs," he said and his grin looked strained and Ed remembered what the problem was.
"Um...uh...about..." Ed began and he felt himself blush as he looked at the ground.
"Don't worry about it I got the message," Envy said and turned to his case, Ed looked at him slightly confused before hardening his resolve and decided to tell Envy he liked him too.
"No you didn't I-" Envy turned to look at him and Ed's resolve flushed just like he did, "I-I uh...I wanted to say sorry...and that I uh...uh..." Ed blushed further, he saw Envy from the corner of his eye just standing there frozen. "I didn't mean to run...I was just surprised and scared and I wanted to say sorry," he said almost falling over his words, he still couldn't look at the older boy. Ed was starting to get mad at himself, he was acting like a love struck little girl, he wasn't a girl, dammit! (Nor was he little! - Ed) He looked up at Envy and saw that he was looking thoughtful, not angry or upset like Ed had expected.
"So...?" Envy asked and Ed's resolve hardened as he took a step towards Envy looking him straight in the eyes.
"So kiss me again," Ed said and Envy's eyes widened and Ed took another step closer to him.
"Why?" he asked and Ed was so close now he was right in front of the dark haired boy only a breath apart.
"Because...I like you," Ed said and he dropped his case and music folder on the ground as he stood taller on his toes to press his lips to Envy's. He grabbed the boy's shirt to pull him down more on his lips, and for a moment he thought Envy was going to pull away, but then he started kissing back, and wrapped his arm around Ed's waist, the other went to the back of the blond head, he tipped Ed's head back a little to deepen the kiss. Ed opened his mouth in invitation and the dark haired boy took it with out hesitating. His tongue plunged in and claimed the orifice with so much vigor Ed was moaning. His hands fisted in Envy's shirt and he pulled harder telling him he wanted more. But they had to break apart eventually, they still needed to breathe. Ed was panting a little as he rested his head on Envy's shoulder, the older boy couldn't hide the smirk on his face as he placed his face in the shorter boy's hair. He used the hand that was at the base of the boys' neck to play with the braid for a moment then he ran it around to the front of the blushing face and used it to tip his face up.
"That's good to hear…because I like you too," he said softly and bent his head again pressing his lips gently to the blonds', initiating a much more tender kiss that made Ed smile when they broke apart.
"I kinda figured that out on my own," he said and Envy grinned then kissed him again chastely, before moving away reluctantly.
"As much as I'd love to spend the rest of the hour making out, we actually do have to do something," he said and Ed sighed then faked a groan.
"Damn, and here I was hoping to get out of it," Envy laughed, and Ed smiled at him and noticed the bruise again.
"Are you sure you're okay, it looks pretty nasty…?" Ed said pointing at it, Envy shrugged.
"I've had worse, it's fine it'll clear up in a few days." Envy said returning to his viola case.
"You fell up some stairs you said?" Ed asked and Envy nodded a grin growing on his face.
"Well first I tripped up them then as I tried to stand I fell down them again, it was kinda fun at the time," he said and Ed rolled his eyes.
"What are you a masochist?" and Envy laughed grinning as Ed pulled out his own viola.
"Probably, it tends to happen a lot actually, me getting hurt," he said and Ed nodded. He could understand how a clumsy person would do the same thing repeatedly, but Envy certainly didn't seem the clumsy type. He raised an eyebrow in thought.
"And before you ask, I was not drunk I was just half asleep on my way back from the bathroom," he said and it was Ed's turn to laugh.
"So you're grumpy when you wake up too?" he asked and Envy flicked him in the forehead.
"Not as bad as you, no, I'm usually just out of it. I wake up at 5 most days." He added and Ed's eyes widened.
"Really? You don't seem like an early bird," he said and Envy shook his head.
"I'm not, I just have to get up then to finish my homework," Ed frowned, and Envy continued, "I usually practice till midnight when my dad gets home from work, and then we eat and I go to bed at around 1:00-1:30," he said and Ed nodded he understood that he was usually up late doing research, it was what he enjoyed.
"You want to be a musician don't you?" he asked and Envy nodded with a grin.
"Yeah, I think it's what I'm best at, and I enjoy it, my dad supports it so I think it's a good course of action." He said and Ed nodded.
"I think so too, you're amazing, you could be big someday," he said and Envy punched his arm lightly.
"Stop you're going to make me blush," and Ed laughed, Envy joining in soon after.
It felt like nothing had changed except from time to time, while they were practicing Envy would steal Ed's lips for a moment before telling him to stop getting distracted, Ed would glower at him and tell him to stop being the distraction. Neither of them minded how they were spending time together, they were still practicing but being affectionate too, Ed couldn't stop smiling all through 6th it felt really good to have someone.
"Hey brother what are you so happy about?" Al asked at lunch when Ed sat at the table next to him, Ed could almost feel Envy's smirking gaze on him.
"Oh I just did really well on my practice test in AP Chem.," he lied partially and Al looked at him for a moment, Ed smiled and fought not to whip around to smack Envy's hand which was poking him in the back. Al sighed and went back to what he was doing. Ed turned and glared at Envy who was looking away trying to act innocent but his hand was still poking.
"Stop it," he hissed and Envy grinned at him then brushed his hand over Ed's briefly before turning to talk to Russell who had grown to like him after the couple of months he'd been sitting with them. Ed fought the blush trying to rise in his cheeks he did so by turning to talk to Winry.
Lunch was too short and too long, Ed and Envy wanted it to end so they could say goodbye before class, but it was nice whenever they snuck glances at each other and saw the other looking. Even though they didn't have anymore classes together; they still left the cafeteria at the same time. Russell watched them go and then voiced the thought he'd been having for a while.
"Did anyone notice Ed? He was acting weird," he said with narrowed eyes and Al nodded.
"Yeah…he seems really happy about something, and I don't think it's because of a test," Al agreed.
"Oh you two are so suspicious, he's probably just happy cause he can be, there doesn't have to be anything behind it," Winry said suspecting she knew what was up, but she wasn't going to share.
Ed knew he was acting like a fool but he really couldn't help it, Envy would smile at him and warmth would bubble up in his chest to spread to everywhere else in his body. He'd smile back like a love sick fool and Envy would laugh. He really liked the guy and realized he had liked him the whole time it was just his stubbornness and idiocy that had blinded him to the fact. He enjoyed every moment he spent with the older boy, especially when he decided they had done enough for the day during their practice time together and told Ed they should practice tonguing, in case Ed ever decided he wanted to join band. Those were Ed's favorite days, and Ed knew he didn't want things to get suspicious so he practiced more at home. And was still improving, Envy was proud to say the least. Other than the fact that he was smiling more and Envy's own math grades were improving due to Ed's help, nothing changed in Ed's life. Well that he was aware of, Russell and Al were suspicious and Winry had practically figured it out already but he never noticed. He was too happy.
It was one of those lazy days and Ed sat between Envy's legs, who was leaning against the wall reading a book for his English class while Ed was doing chem work. Envy's hand was resting on Ed's thigh his thumb moving in lazy circles.
"Mmmm…" Ed mumbled at his homework and Envy looked over at it. Raising an eyebrow, Ed rarely ever got stuck on his homework.
"What is it? Did 2+2=5?" He asked grinning because he'd just made an allusion to the book he was reading and Ed shook his head then leaned back against Envy.(anyone wanna guess what book? :3)
"No, I was just thinking…about Al," he said and Envy gave a noise of understanding. Ed was comfortable with everything in their relationship, except for the fact that he was keeping it-and had been for, and Ed couldn't believe it, nearly a month- from Al.
"I still say he'll be fine with it and you're worrying over nothing," Envy replied looking back to his book.
"Yeah…but I just don't know…what if he hates me?" Ed mumbled turning so his head was in the crook of Envy's neck who sighed then snaked his arms around the blond and held him close, his book dropped on Ed's homework.
"Ed," he said to the face in his neck there was a muffled acknowledgment, "He's your brother and I could tell just from the first day that you two are close, really close. He'll be fine, just tell him. Or…would you prefer I just start making out with you today at lunch?" he asked and Ed yelped when he felt the mouth on his ear lobe.
"No! No! Definitely no!" he said his face turning bright red, pushing away from the teen who was laughing then pressed a softer kiss to the blond's lips. Ed's eyes slipped closed and he grabbed the boy's shirt in his hands clenching it and pulling the taller teen closer and giving a soft whimper when he opened his lips and Envy's tongue invaded his mouth. Envy's hand came up and rested at the base of Ed's neck while the other was still around his waist and pulled him closer.
Envy's mouth left his to start trailing along the blonds jaw and down his throat, Ed gave a gasp and clutched to Envy's shirt more fiercely. He started shaking when Envy started sucking lightly on his throat, he gave a moan. And Envy let go looking at him with a smirk. Ed glared.
"I didn't say…you could…stop," he panted lightly and Envy gave a laugh and kissed him again only this time more chastely.
"Yeah, but if I were to go any further I don't think you'd be in a state fit enough for your next class," he said and Ed made a noise half between a groan and a growl before turning back to his homework with a pout. Envy gave a chuckle and buried his face in Ed's neck. His arms now wrapped loosely around Ed's waist.
"Hey Ed?" he asked his voice slightly muffled by Ed's shoulder; Ed gave a grunt still slightly put out by the fact Envy had stopped.
"You want to come over tomorrow?" Envy asked and Ed stopped writing the equation he'd figured out, to tilt his head and look at the top of the head on his shoulder.
"Come again?" he asked thinking he'd heard wrong but hoping he hadn't. Envy lifted his head and looked right at him.
"Do you want to come to my house tomorrow?" he asked and Ed's eyes lit up as he tried not to smile but failed.
"Yeah if it's okay with your Dad," he said and Envy smiled at the response he'd gotten.
"He'll be out of town for the weekend, so whatdya say?" he asked and tried not to laugh at the look of predatorial hunger on the blond's face that had appeared when Envy mentioned they'd be alone.
"Well…I'll see, I mean, I don't know…" he said feigning insecurity, Envy poked him in the ribs.
"Okay!" he peeped out and Envy laughed kissing him again before standing up.
"Tomorrow at 3:00, I'll give you my address. Come on next class starts in ten," he said and offered Ed a hand after he'd gathered all of his stuff. Ed took it then handed Envy his book back. They left together like they always did walking to Ed's class because it was furthest.
"You're gonna pay for earlier just so you know," Ed whispered at Envy who just smiled then waved as he turned to his own class.
"Humph," Ed said but he couldn't wipe the smile from his face.
