"This is so surreal..." is the first discernable thought that runs through his fatigued mind. Going from an inky, malevolent blackness to sheer warmth and light in such a short time. Kissing Ed felt was sheer bliss, like this was always meant to be somehow. He knows that this isn't supposed to happen, that he and Edward Elric are as different as night and day, but he can't bring himself to care as his body is enveloped in an all consuming light.
(Envy's POV)
After what seems like an eternity, we finally break apart, and I am lost for words. I have never felt so secure in all of my life. Even though I am technically dying, I feel like everything is going to be all right as long as he's here with me.
"So...was it...okay?" he asks me shyly. I grin at him.
"Edward, that is the stupidest question I have ever heard." I say and he scowls at me. "Of course it was OKAY. It was the best feeling I have ever experienced." He smiles. One of those dazzling smiles that make me weak in the knees...or would if I could stand.
"C'mon Envy, I'm getting you out of here." he says it as if it will be the easiest thing in the world, as if I'm not in prison and actually have the choice to just up and walk away.
"And how exactly do you plan to do that Fullmetal?" I say with a bit more of an edge to my voice than I'd meant. He looks hurt at the harsh tone of my voice, but then his gaze hardens and he stares at me, resolute in whatever he's planning.
"Look Envy, I know that you're scared. You're afraid of what might happen and that one or both of us will die. I get that. But what I want you to understand is, I WILL NOT let that happen! I am sick of the people I love dying right in front of me, and it's not happening again! I swear to god I will get the both of us out of this alive even if it means I've got to break every law ever created to do it." he says with such finality that I can't think of what to say next. So, I kiss him again, pouring all of my unspoken feelings in to the kiss.
"I love you Edo." I say after we break apart.
"I love you too Envy. I promise that I'll get you out of this." he smiles at me and takes my hand, pulling me to my feet. "Do you think you have enough strength left to shapeshift once? That will make it a lot easier to get out of here." he looks at me for confirmation.
"I can try." I say uncertainly, I 've never attemped a transformation with my strength this low. I have to try though, because our chances of escaping otherwise seem slim to none. So, I close my eyes, and start the transformation. I can feel my cells moving and changing rapidly to accommodate my new features. "How do I look?" I say in a slightly higher, more melodic tone.
End of this chapter! I'm REALLY sorry it took so freaking long for me to update. I've had a lot of stuff going on plus I really wasn't in the swing of this story. But now I'm getting back in to it, so hopefully chapter five won't have such a long waiting period. Cross your fingers! XD
P.S. I was wondering if I should describe, in detail what Envy's "new" body looks like in the next chapter. I'll have to describe it to some extent, but since the next chapter will be in Ed's POV, I thought maybe I should do an in depth description. What do you guys think?
