A/N: Wow, I finally got here, but just before you yell at me for not having enough lemon (curse you Roy with your stupid lack of lustful abandon!), the next chapter will have more than enough (thank you centuries of libido!) to justify the rating jump. PS- I do not own FullMetal Alchemist. Flames will be used to make Roy a flamethrower (even though he abandoned me for cursing him out and for a lack of self-confidence from major ed groupie's review, but trust me, it will pass before the next chapter).

Roy's Flamethrower count: .5

Immortal Hearts

Chapter Two:

"Glaciers melting in the dead of night/ And the superstar sucked into the supermassive"

("Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse from Black Holes and Revelations)

Envy groaned as he started to come to, rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh good," a familiar voice said, relieved, "For a moment there, I thought I had killed you."

"You did," Envy growled irritably, cracking open his lavender eyes to glare at the teen sitting over him. "I'm just made hardier than most, that's all."

Lucius cocked his head. "What are you saying?"

Remembering the way the other boy had bit him and hungrily lapped up the faux blood, the homunculus replied, "I'll tell you my secret if you tell me yours."

A light snarl came from the redhead. "And if I do not wish to tell you?" he muttered darkly, silver eyes flashing. "What would you do then?"

Envy paused to consider it for a moment. He had rather hoped Lucius would be reasonable, but what would he do now that the other had decided to be stubborn? "Why, I'd leave, of course," he said, recalling the way his companion had recoiled when he thought he'd killed the sin.

"You are welcome to leave," he replied nonchalantly, striding over to a mahogany desk by the other end of the ornate dark red room. "I am not keeping you here."

Envy sighed, realizing the boy was trying to call his bluff and it was working. His fingers momentarily clenched in the blue comforter in frustration, then he got up. "What if I compromised? I'll tell you who you are and my name, and you can tell me how you came by all this," he said, gesturing about him to reference the fancy accommodations.

Lucius considered it for a moment. "Fine," he conceded, inclining his head as he seated himself more comfortably in the high-backed wooden chair, leaning forward to better observe Envy like a scientist does an interesting rat who defies preset expectations.

"I'm Envy, and you're the reincarnation of my… friend, Elena."

Lucius was quiet for a moment, then chuckled, throwing his head back in mirth. "That is rich coming from someone as grounded as you seem to be, Eric."

"I'm not lying to you!" he protested, causing the other boy to smile condescendingly, so much like the way Dante would whenever he'd wanted to see Elena. He doesn't believe me, Envy realized with despair. He doesn't believe me, and he won't until I can prove it, which I can't until either Ed comes or Mollie shows up.

"Still," Lucius said, composing himself so quickly it almost begged the question of whether he suffered from some kind of mental disorder, "You gave me an answer, so I am required to give you one." He shifted, crossing his legs. "These kinds of things just sort of accumulate when you have a lot of time on your hands, not to mention that a good bit of it I inherited from others."

"You don't know the half of it," Envy agreed, running a hand through his hair and throwing himself back against the covers once more, somehow finding himself unable to remember exactly when he'd sat up to better watch Lucius or to stop wanting to watch him even now that he was beginning to doubt Lucius was his Elena. Even so, he resolved not to leave until he had determined whether the boy was his or not.

Edward stirred underneath Roy's fingers, who merely smiled and continued combing his fingers through the blond's hair, planting a kiss on the top of his head. "Nice to see you back in the land of the living, Fullmetal," he whispered, stirring up the young homunculus's scent into the air around him, then he turned back to his work of playing his fingers through the silken gold he'd untied earlier.

"Not amused, Envy," the younger muttered with his eyes closed, swatting at Roy's arm sleepily. "I don't remind you about Elena, so you shouldn't remind me about Roy."

"Who's Envy?" the raven-haired man asked, frowning in confusion. "If he's this persistent, I'll take care of him for you, chibi."

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SHORT ENOUGH TO USE AN ANT AS A BEAST OF BURDEN?" Ed yelled, sitting up as quickly as his homunculus speed would allow and freezing when he caught sight of the elder male. "Roy," he breathed, tentatively reaching out with his right hand to touch the man's face.

"So you did get your limbs back," Roy murmured, smiling at the feel of warm flesh on his cheek. "I'm so proud of you, my little-"

"I'm glad to see you too, but if you fucking call me little one more time, I will show you exactly what I picked up in the century I've had without you," the blond threatened, meaning every word of it. He wasn't short dammit, he was just… vertically challenged, yeah, that sounded much more scientific and conditional than short or little. He looked around the room, taking in the light blue sheets on the bed they were on and the darker blue walls, ignoring the ornate wooden wardrobe and focusing on the fact that he was currently lying on top of the older man in this wonderfully soft and large dark wood bed wearing his shit-covered clothes from the club. "Um, where's Envy?" he asked, trying vainly to squirm out of Roy's arms.

"If you mean the crazy homicidal palm tree from the Devil's Nest, then he'd be in Lucius-sama's room," he murmured, kissing the blond's neck hungrily.

"R-roy," Ed panted, not entirely sure of what was happening but unable to find the strength to fight the elder off.

"I'm so needy, Edward," he moaned, licking at the sun-tanned throat over and over in enraptured pleasure, unaware that he was lightly scraping the homunculus with his elongating fangs. "Please, I need you, now, please."

Ed may not have known exactly what was going on, but judging by the arousal that was giving him the first real hard-on he'd had in an entire century, he didn't really care either. "Fuck, yes, Roy," he groaned, moving his head to the side so that the other had better access to the soft skin. The raven-haired man peppered kisses along the vein, drawing back slightly to reveal eyes with red rings around the pupils. He was fixated on Edward's neck, the scent driving him to want to take advantage of the younger while his sense of equivalency demanded he satisfy the sexual cravings brought on by the erotic behavior. He nuzzled Ed's collar, his hand making its way down to the bulge in Ed's leather pants and stroking it teasingly beneath the fabric, which earned him a breathy "God, Roy, just do it" and then his lips parted and his hips pulled back in what would be the final push for him to break and satisfy them both.

Only his eyes widened, regaining sanity as he pushed Edward away from him, crying "NO!" The blond landed heavily on the floor, but before he could rant about the bastard pushing him onto the floor when they were about to have sex, he caught sight of the horror and raging inferno in Roy's dark eyes, which conflicted with the concern and guilt in there as well, along with a touch of what Ed thought was disappointment. "I can't do this. I won't take advantage of you like that, I won't, Ed!"

Ed swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing as he realized exactly what Roy wasn't. "You aren't human, are you, Roy?" he whispered, hiding his golden eyes behind his bangs.

"Something along those lines," he admitted reluctantly. "Do you hate me for it?"

"No."

"Would you hate me if I told you I couldn't remember anything other than the day you saved me from that chimera and when I tried to bring you back?"

"No." He paused to think, interpreting that the older male had amnesia on almost all of his human life. "Would you like me to stay with you until you remember?"

"I don't know," Roy whispered, conflicted. "I want you to stay, but I don't want to hurt you in a moment of stupidity, plus I have Lucius-sama to think about."

"Why don't we take each day as it comes then?" Ed offered, giving Roy a light smile at the thought of spending more time with the raven-haired man.

"I think… that I'd like that very much," Roy admitted, opening his arms once more for Edward to leap inside, pressing a hesitant kiss on the tip of blond's forehead and resting his chin lightly on the top of his new companion's head.

A/N: Reviews make me write faster... They also encourage Ed and Lucius to try stripping (trust me, the images are burned into my brain right now; stupid perverted teenage hormones). Oh yeah, for those of you who think I forgot Damien... I didn't. He's coming back, along with a nice little confrontation scene and future lemon (which may end up being another split chapter).

Okay, fine, I know you want this... For every review you leave me, Roy will gain a hard-on so obnoxious he will be forced to unleash himself upon Eddo-kun at some point! (Ed: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, WOMAN? Me: Um, nothing Roy: I have a feeling I will be wanting to use my half-a-flame-flamethrower right about now. Me: Ehehehehe, Envy will protect me, right? Envy: Hell no. Me: Then I will hide with Lucius! Lucius: Fair enough.)
