…XXX…
"Envy? ENVY!" Edward yelled, as he watched the green haired boy go limp in the larger sin's grip. The homunculus tossed weakly in his confinement, though he was no longer conscious.
Ed darted around to try and find an opening, he had to get Envy away from danger, he would never be able to forgive himself if he let Envy get hurt, or worse, if Envy died…
One might ask themselves why, if the two were supposed to be enemies, Edward cared so much about Envy's well-being, and you could pass it off as Edward just being considerate or not wanting to lose the one person who could help in in this battle. But if one were to ask Ed this very question, you would be answered by a swift kick in the face. Why? Because Ed never was one to talk about his feelings, but rather express them in a less-obvious-but-evident-manner…physically…
Alphonse raced to his brother side and asked the question that neither of them knew the answer to, "how were they gonna get to Gluttony's Oriboris?"
"We could…na that'd never work. Damn it Al, we have to save him!" Ed exasperated. He was at the end of his ropes by now. He needed Envy to help him; certainly he would know what to do. Right? But the problem was, Envy was unconscious and flopping Around in Gluttony's hand like a freakin' rag doll, and Ed was helpless to do anything about it. Unless…
Ed scanned the area, looking for anything he could use to execute his plan, and he found it. It just happened to be… a rock!
Edward dashed over to the rock and clapped his hand and his stub of an arm together. Blue lights flashed and he transmuted the large hunk of minerals into a different shape, using his knowledge of the sin from past experiences to know what shape it should take. What shape you asked… Why a sandwich!
The young Alchemist grinned at his creation, it looked damn tasty… He turned to the sin's direction and saw his comrades pained face poking out from behind long green spikes and his heart sank.
"Hey Ugly!" Ed shouted, the Sin turned around awkwardly and looked at Edward for a fraction before his eyes fell to the large stone sandwich besides him. He smiled manically and forgot Envy for a moment, letting the boy fall harshly to the ground..
Ed ran to Envy's side, kneeling down, he grabbed Envy's shoulders and shook them roughly. The green haired male slowly moved back into consciousness and looked blearily at Edward.
He sat up with great effort, and looked around. His eyes fell on Gluttony, who was gnawing vainly on the rock. Envy looked flatly back at Ed, who smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "Oh brilliant chibi…"
"Shut up and help me out here. How do you suggest I get to his mouth?"
"Why don't you transmute your self into a piece of ham, that outta get you closer to him" Envy leered, Ed punched him in the arm and he winced. Ed was taken aback by the male's sign of pain.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, now go before that over-sized carnival freak sees through your genius." he wheezed, clutching his ribs. Ed was reluctant, but did listen and he stood up, still without a solid plan. He glanced back at Envy one last time to see him struggling to his feet, before he left.
He rejoined his brother and looked at Gluttony, he had managed to eat the rock and was searching around for any other thing he could devour. Finding nothing he glared at the two young Alchemists.
"Uh Nii san, what are we gonna do?" Al asked desperately, Ed shook his head.
"I don't know Al, I just, how are we gonna get his tongue?"
Ed was stumped, he had been counting on Envy helping, but he didn't, so what was he gonna do?
"Um, we could try and-" but Ed had zoned out of Al's conversation and was focusing back on Envy. He still wasn't all that sure about Envy's health, but he wouldn't accept help from the blonde so he could do nothing.
Envy was staring hard at the other Sin, a lighter looked flashed over his features for a fraction of a moment as an idea hit him.
It took him a few tries, but he finally got it right and a replica of Lust appeared. Envy felt light headed and found it difficult to keep up his new form.
He new that Gluttony had always had an infatuation with Lust, so it was easy enough to predict that Lust would be the only one capable of stopping him.
He whistled sharply, drawing the attention of Al and Gluttony, (Ed was already watching him) Gluttony scowled at first, but him expression softened when he saw that it was his Lust standing there.
Envy lifted his arms, inviting Gluttony in to his Lust/look-alike's embrace. Gluttony lumbered over and bent down in front of Envy. The two boys watched with a great interest.
"What's he doing Nii san?"
"Just watch Al." Ed said smiling. Envy was really smart.
Envy wrapped his arms around Gluttony's huge head and smiled. He leaned back and looked at the Sin. He almost felt bad, tricking him like this, but then again, he killed that military guy by changing into his wife and he showed no remorse, but…
He reached into Gluttony's colossal mouth and grasped his large tongue with sharp nailed fingers. A small eep escaped the homunculus's throat, but he looked kindly at the Lust imitation.
Envy jabbed his finger through the sin's tongue and he froze. Those blank eyes never leaving his face. His mouth turned up into a light smile, before a pale green light illuminated around Gluttony.
"Lu-ust?" The strangled sound emanated from him and he began to shrink back to his normal size.
Another wave of dizziness swept over Envy, but he didn't lose his hold on Gluttony's tongue.
Ed and Al watched the display, utterly confused. 'What was happening?' Al looked to his brother and Ed did the same. They seemed to have a mental connection and they looked back to Envy.
By this time, Gluttony had returned to his usual size and was lying limply on the ground at Envy's feet.
Envy removed his hand and wiped the spit off of it, but still watching with interest at what was happening to the younger Sin.
Gluttony smiled brightly before the pale green light seemed to over take his body and then die down, taking the sin with it as it disappeared in a wave of white mist, just like Greed, but less horrific. Gluttony didn't suffer like the other man had. His death was different.
Ed and Alphonse rushed to Envy's side; a mountain of questions came with them.
"Envy-sama, what happened?"
"How did you know it would work?"
"I thought the only way to kill them was by removing the Philosophers Stones."
"Envy are you okay?" Ed's question was the last one asked.
"I- do-n't knoow…" Envy's voice was heavy and he swayed on his feet. Ed moved forward just in time to catch Envy when he passed out.
He cradled the sin's shoulders in his one good arm and shook him lightly, hoping to wake the male like he did before, but to no avail, Envy was knocked straight the fuck out.
…XXX…
"Damn It!" Ilara yelled, slamming her hands on the mirror. She was really getting aggravated by this point. The damn little midget should have been killed! Envy was not supposed to kill Gluttony. He couldn't have known, hell it came as a surprise to Ilara on how the sin had died.
He had rejoined with his human side, and then his heart had been put to rest. But how? Once they were separated they were never to be reunited. It wasn't possible! Was it? NO!
She clenched her teeth and scowled at her reflection, but then a sly smile over took her features.
"But the little squirt is going home now, maybe if I bring his family into it, he'll finally let me have Envy, and then I can get back at her for good. The no good bitch. She'll pay for what she's done!"
…XZXX…
The light clanking sounds of Al's footsteps was the only thing breaking the silence of the evening. That and the occasional moan from Envy.
"I wonder what Winry's gonna say about him." Ed joked half-heartedly, but he wasn't as relaxed as usual.
Envy had been unconscious for almost two days now, and because he was a homunculus, they could take him to a doctor. So all that was left to do was to worry.
And that's exactly what Edward did.
Every time the sin would stir, Ed would pop up and ask if he was okay, though he'd yet to get an answer.
They had made it almost all the way to Resembool now, the conductor of the train had been so grateful of their' defeat of Gluttony, he had offered them free train passes to where ever they were going.
So, after several train changes and odd looks from the other passengers, (I guess walking around with an incredibly short blonde, a giant suit of armor, and an unconscious male will kinda make you stick out in a crowd. XD) they were able to make it home, so now they were on their' last mile walk to the Rockbell home.
A low moan sounded from the bundle in Al's arms, and Ed jolted forward to see Envy. And much to Ed's relief, Envy's eyes fluttered lightly to see Ed's worried golden pools searching his face desperately.
They opened completely and stared at Ed for a moment before shifting his weight to sit up. Al stopped walking and watched the sin too.
"Are you okay Envy?" Ed asked eagerly.
"Uh, yeah I guess. What-ah-" a sharp pain shot through him when he shifted again, "happened?"
"You've been knocked out for almost two days ya freakin' palm tree!" Ed retorted, trying not to show how worried he was about the Sin and trying to look defiant.
"Nii San!" Al scolded, and Envy looked pleased. "Envy-sama, you shouldn't move, I looked you over on the train and, I'm no doctor, but I think you might have some broken ribs."
"Wait, I thought you said it's been two days, why hasn't my body healed by now?" Envy asked, dumbfounded. That was not a good sign, his body was able to heal extremely fast, and it was part of the homunculus package, so why was he still hurt. Maybe they were lying to him, It couldn't have rally been two days, could it have?
"We don't know why YOUR body isn't healing, but it sure was a lot quieter on the train with out you awake though!" Ed jeered.
"Nii san, you were worried about him and you know it! Every time he moved you would hover over him like a mother hen!" Al scolded, but he cause both of the other males to blush, though he didn't see.
"Envy-sama? Just what exactly did you do to Gluttony?"
"I have no clue…" Envy put simply. It was the truth, he had only meant to paralyze him, not kill him, but that's what happened. Why over-think something when life gives you a break?
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"So, you guys still haven't told me about this Winny girl." Envy reminded.
"Her name's Winry, and she's kinda like the sister we never had, right Ed?"
"Yeah, she's weird and can be a little over dramatic some times, but she's nice, and she always does a good job on my Automail. But you two might not get along to well, I think one drama-queen's enough!"
Envy stuck his tongue out and pouted the rest of the way there…Occasionally glaring at Ed only to cause both of them to blush when their eyes locked.
This was going to be an interesting visit….
…XXX…
Rei:…
Seraphim: A stone sandwich? Is that the best that you could come up with?
KM: Hey, I like samiches! Wh00t!
Rei: Yeah! So shut up, sandwich hater! (pouts)
Seraphim: ugh
Rei: Kay, I have some notes for readers! Here they are:
1) Envy is a lot less angstie in this fic then he is in the series and I kno why! In my fic, Hoenhiem is not his father, so he doesn't feel as much resentment to Ed and Al as he normally does. So more fluff, less hatefulestisity.
2) I got milk and cookies from a reader! I really like getting gifts and I thought you might all like to know! (hint hint)
3) Yes the whole thing with Gluttony is to show that there is more than one way to kill a homunculus. So yeah…
4) Some parts will get weird, like the samich thing. I like to keep it entertaining so I'll add in odd parts like that.
5) THE LEMON IS APPROACHING! IN THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS IT WILL BE MENTIONED AND THEN ''BOW CHICKA WICKA BOW WOW…"
Rei: I cannot wait till I post the lemon, oh I love it so much!
KM: wh00t!
Rei: I whipped this chappie off in one day! Hellz yeah! So bye!
KM: Wait Rei! Didn't you have a really important question to ask your readers?
Rei: Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Okay, readers, do any of you know the volume of the Manga when Envy is introduced? If you could tell me, I will be forever in your debt. I would read the entire thing till I found him, but that would take away time that I could be updating so I cant!
Okay that's All! Much luff and good bye! (waves)
