Syn

Chapter 10

(KM will not be joining me for a while, we sort of had a 'falling out' (AKA: she's too busy with her boyfriend to pay me much mind, and I'm tired of being ignored so I'm ignoring her, but the thing is, I really miss her and it's killing me inside. so yeah.) But I'll still have Sera and Wolf so no worries.)

Rei: (sigh) Hi guys…Look, I'm gonna say this right off the bat. I HATE THIS STORY! I rushed it and I killed it and I beat it with a stick until it died again. I am ashamed. If not for the fact that you guys seem to enjoy it I would delete it, but I won't, that wouldn't be fair. Also I'm cutting it a little short, so I'll be ending it soon. No tears plz, I'll be starting a new fic after this one, another ExE, though it's part EdWin, there's not much. Mainly flashbacks.

The Promise He Kept is the name and Yeah, Ed has a baby, little girl, then he meets Envy at a bar and ya know, some things happen and, well you'll just have to read it and tell me what you think. I'll post it right after I finish this one, there will be lemon(s) And I'm going to put a lot more thought into this one, to make up for this abomination.

Rei: But of course, Envy will be seme in this one, and I have a reason for that; I can only see Envy being fulltime seme in AU fics, but if in a fic like mine, one that takes place during the series, I think Envy would be less sexually confident so he would be the recessive half of the relationship…So, yeah, I've been thinking though, I might add a Seme!Ed part, but it wont be very big, so yeah…

Wolf: Rei, Congratulations.

Seraphim: Yeah, congrats for the contest.

Rei: Oh Yeah, on a happier note, I entered one of my drabbles from Harvest Moon into a creative writing contest and I got first place! They're having a reception in my name the 13th of Feb. So you guys should give me luck cause I have to read it out loud in front of everybody. I'm so nervous. I don't do well in front of people…--

ALSO, for all you who think I took too long to update, I have an explanation for you, I took a break for a bit after my lemon and I though I was safe, but then when I tried to get back, my net was down and I didn't get it back till now, so blame PeoplePC not me. It wasn't my fault. Plus, this chapter was next to imposable to write, I couldn't figure out exactly how to word how they acted after 'doing the deed' so bare with me.

Also, to all of those who made a comment about the boys not using lube and that being painful, I agree, but give me some credit, Envy did go through a lot of pain, so I kept it in a realistic point, kinda…Plus, as I have said many times before, I'm a female virgin, so I have no idea what I'm talking about… Well, kinda, I DID just buy over a hundred dollars worth of yaoi stuff… (coughhentaicough) I'm learning!-

Well, that seems like everything, there may be more at the bottom, it depends on weather or not I think of anything.

…XXX….

The sun was glaring down on the two boys, heating their backs and making their walk uncomfortable. They were making their way back to Rezembool and despite their feeling towards each other they had no idea how they would explain what happened to Al and Winry. Stuff like this didn't happen everyday. Well, in some places it does, but we wont get into that.

Ed glanced over as his new lover and smiled. He'd definatly seen a whole new side of Envy last night. He'd seen how human Envy really was, despite the fact that the sin was without a soul. And the slight limp the green haired male had was amusing to Edward, though every time he gave it any thought, he blushed, a lot.

He guessed it probably hurt, I mean, most men aren't made to fit like that, in the most appropriate way statable.

He'd watched Envy go from the incredibly annoying homunculus to be the oddly affectionate almost human now. Even though the two had jump into a rather hasty relationship that was amazingly fast paced, they were going to make this work out the best they could.

But what really could they do to make it work? They were both from very different worlds. Ed was the hero of the people, and helper to those who needed it and a human, whereas Envy was the exact opposite, a killer, a heartless non-human who would kill anyone without hesitation.

Though now, Ed figured, the sin would probably not be so rash to murder, now that he was involved with Edward, intimately…

But he would still have the uncontrollable instinct to rush into a fight he may not be able to win, in that manner he was just like the blonde. Two stubborn men who were both stubborn, skillful, and now together, this combination should make life interesting for the young Alphonse and his feisty childhood companion.

And though he'd yet to voice his thoughts to Edward, Envy had been considering their future as well. He'd been thinking that after they take care of this Bitch who was messing with the homunculi, they would continue their search for the philosopher's stone and Envy would go with and he was even thinking about using it to become human himself, so he could live with Edward like a normal couple…

What?

….

Okay! So maybe they're not NORMAL, but…they…th….just leave me alone!

But he would wait to see where they were going before he made a final decission, then he would talk to Ed about it.

Breaking away from his thoughts, Envy glanced around the area, wondering again how Ed managed to deal with all this sand and he couldn't help but think with and evil grin that he would have believed Ed would sink in it. But again, he kept his mouth shut for the benefit of the height sensitive blonde.

Of course, as much as his ass hurt, he really didn't owe the blonde anything, next time he would make sure they used lube or something, make it easier, or maybe he would make Ed be on bottom, but for now, aggravating the little alchemist would do just fine….

"Hey, Chibi? I have a question…"

XXXX

(Back at the Rockbell household)

"So, how do you think they're doing?" Winry asked, glancing at the large metal figure of her friend. Her blue eyes taking in every inch of the shape and thinking of the young boy trapped inside.

"They'll be fine, I believe those two can work things out for the best, whatever that may be…" Al responded, not taking his eyes from the Alchemy books he'd managed to find. He was searching for any thing he cold that might help him with their newest threat, whatever it was.

Envy hadn't exactly been very revealing about things with the boys, but he had been helpful so he couldn't exactly complain either. The emerald haired boy had fulfilled his part of the bargain, now it was up to the Elrics to finish the job.

"Ya know, it's weird. I mean, honestly I always thought that Ed and I would end up with each other, but now he's gay, so I highly doubt that's gonna happen.." Winry mused, walking around so she could face Al.

"Yeah, it is a little odd, I'm not even entirely sure if I can support my brother with his decision. But I know ed knows what he's doing, at least I hope he does, so I can trust him with this, and any way, it's really none of my business, so I'm just gonna stay out of it." Al said simply, voicing everything he'd been thinking the past couple days since his brother had left.

"Hmm." Her cobalt colored eyes flashed for a moment and she looked back at Alphonse, but she said nothing.

"They should be back soon ya know." Al stated, changing the subject off the topic from his brother's sexuality, to his whereabouts.

"Yeah, I cant wait, I love it when you're both here and as much as I hate to admit it, Envy's starting to grow on me…" Her eyes grew soft, "I guess I just like the company…"

Al looked at her, picking up on the pained look the young mechanic had and he could help but feel guilty.

"Sorry Winry, I…we've really been meaning to visit more…It's just, we're really busy so I guess it's hard to take time out to come see you." He lowered his eyes, avoiding the hollow look in the blondes eyes.

"I understand Al, I just miss you that's all…"

"Okay, I'm still sorry though…"

"Thanks Al." She moved forward and before the boy could do anything, she halfway wrapped her arms around his bulky frame in a haphazard hug. In return the blonde blushed, (figuratively speaking of course.)

"I'll try harder to visit Win…" Al whispered, not moving from her embrace.

"I know Al…Thanks"

…XXX…

Ed stalked across the sandy road, arms crossed and a pout hitched onto his features. Envy walked a couple feet behind him, a knowing smirk spreading over his face at the blondes antics.

"Eeeedddoooo. I said I'm sorry, why won't you just forgive me already?" Envy asked, though his voice portrayed no hint of his pleading. Because quite frankly he didn't have any. This was his sweet little revenge on his lover, though for him it was pretty low key.

"It wasn't nice Envy." Ed growled, feeling discouraged by his partners joking.

Envy rolled his eyes, but slunk over to Ed and wrapped his arms around the boy, exciting a small yelp of embarrassment from the alchemist. He glared at Envy through the corner of his eye.

Envy planted a few light kisses on the teens neck and he sent shivers down Edward's spine. Whispering sweet nothings in his ear, warm breath sliding over Ed's cheek. Ed arched his head and meshed his lips with Envy's.

When they broke, Ed purred silently, "Bastard." but he smiled all the same.

"I know…" Envy said silkily, his violet orbs scanning the small face before him.

"We should be there soon, we'll be coming into Rezembool shortly." Ed declared off handedly.

"Huh, " Envy said, not particularly interested.

Several minutes later they came over the medium sized hill that rose over the northern half of Rezembool, the small homely town cradled by its' surroundings. The setting sun casting a golden glow over the country side.

"Home sweet home, "

…xxx….

Anger.

Anger, anger, anger,

ANGER!

That's all that Wrath felt now.

It was because of THEM that his mother was dead, he'd seen it. That woman had killed her, because of them.

It wasn't fair. She was supposed to be with him, when they became human and they could be like a normal family, but Brother couldn't let that happen, he wouldn't let Wrath be happy so him and his little fuck-buddy had to ruin it all! Damn them!

A low growl emanated from his throat as he rushed through the land, not paying any attention to what went by him. He could hear the shouts of many people, probably stupid scared humans all confused about what was happening.

He could start killing them all, but he didn't have time right now, he was almost there now, and he would be able to vent out all his anger on those who killed his beloved mother.

Then She would bring her back, and he could be with his mommy again.

XXX

Ed was practically bouncing up the porch steps of the Rockbell home, he couldn't wait to see his brother again considering how long it'd been since he'd seen him last. The two were never apart long.

Envy watched with a sort of nervous amusement, Once they walked inside it would only be a matter of time before the two conspiring teens figured out what had happened. And THAT wasn't exactly something he was looking forward to explaining to them.

Ed waited for no one as he flung the door open and bounded in, Envy following hastily behind him. By time he'd gotten through the doorway an closed it, ed was already in the kitchen, gleeful voices floating to him as the childhood companions exchanged greetings.

Envy shuffled slowly through the front room and slid into the kitchen silently, trying to avoid all the attention he could. Al looked up at him, blank features locked on Envy's face and he grew uneasy.

'Damn, he knows!' Envy thought frantically, averting his gaze and attempting a non-challant look. Al let his study linger a moment longer before he returned his attention to the blondes.

Envy sighed in relief and slid into a near by chair, his rear end in a dull pain. He rested his chin on his palm and watched his lover.

"So Sloth was really there?"

"Yeah, but we're not really too sure about what happened. Neither of us killed her, we just woke up and she was gone." Ed shrugged, and reached for one of the plates Winry had set out, planning on chowing down on the meal.

"I don't understand…" Said mechanic said, handing him a dish but her cerulean colored eyes never removed themselves from the small blonde.

"Neither do we. Right Envy?" Ed countered, mouth full of food and eyeing the sin.

"Nope, all I know is that the bitch killed me, and if she really wanted to she could have ran off and her job would have been done, that's what the bitch is after…"

Al's glowing red eyes went from teen to teen as he comprehended what had happened, it was obvious the two had made up, but how Al didn't know nor did he really think he wanted to know, so he kept quiet. If Ed felt that his brother needed to be informed about them, he would tell Al.

"Envy-sama, aren't you going to eat?" Al asked politely, wiping away all thoughts of what had gone on between the two.

Envy blinked up at him and nodded weakly, scooting his chair closer to the table.

Evidently this was the polite Elric, Envy thought as he watched Ed, but he couldn't help but think the next part either.

'But I would trade Ed in for the world.'

…XXX…

Envy inched his way through the hallway, towards Ed's door. Opening it he peered inside.

Ed was sitting at the small corner desk, writing something in a tiny notebook. Using every ounce of catlike movement he had, Envy slinked over to his boyfriends side, slipping two long arms around his shoulders.

Ed cocked his head and grinned at him, closing the notebook casually and returning Envy's embrace. Soon two pairs of lips were being melted together hotly, passion floating between the lovers.

The kiss would have lasted a lot longer if not for a huge BOOM! Outside the house.

Jerking apart the two blinked at each other before a piercing scream from the young mechanic made them practically fall over themselves in an attempt to get to her aid.

Dashing down the stairs, the boys rushed for the doors Envy first, Ed very close behind.

There was nobody in the front room so the boys took a sharp turn and ran out the open door, but no sooner had Envy exited the house that he was thrown back in by an unknown force. Ed was confused but he was at his lover's side in an instant.

"Envy?!" he cried, sinking to his knees to lift Envy up. Said homunculi was getting into a sitting position and shaking his head to knock out the dizziness.

"Damn! What the hell?!" He snarled, scrambling to his feet. Ed did the same and he followed Envy back out to the yard, (with more consideration this time) and went to where the steadily growing louder voices of the people, Al was right in the middle, facing his enemy in a fighting stance. Spotting his brother, Al cried out,

"Nii San! Wrath is here!!"

…XXX…

Rei: Well, that was harder than I thought it would be… (Whew)

KM: HEY!!! (runs over and glomps Rei)

Rei: Hey babe! (Returns glomp)

Wolf and Seraphim (Now serasurri): Damn.

(Since the start of this chapter, KM and I have made up, we have plotted against Wolf and Sera and have tied them Together so they can both suffer through the majestic power of ExE, (though honestly, it's like the best torture ever!) So yeah, I'm really happy! )

Rei: Well, yeah, I'll list my giftys next chapter and unfortunately for all you Wrath fans, said homunculi will (die) next chappie….

KM: NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rei: Sorry! (Gets attacked by millions of Wrath fan girls and several fan boys, all chanting about how glorious the little thing is)

Rei: Ow…(Twitch)

KM: Rei! (Goes over to help Rei to bed, leaving Wolf and Sera alone in a dark room, where sera is having many murderous thoughts towards wolf due to the fact that Wolf didn't help her when she was tied up, but they're not important so we wont go into it.)

Rei: Bye!
