"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S MY MATE?! I'M A GUY FATHER!" Envy hissed as Ed slept on the bed behind him. Father looked at him with golden eyes, his stern look stilled the child. He walked over to the sleeping Elric and sat down next to him. His skin was bleeding on the inside thanks to the many bruises that were on his fragile skin. He smiled at him, thinking on how his father must be turning in his grave to see his son become his child from the place that was "Heaven".

"Understand Envy, when a human breaks they break into unfixable pieces. That is why you and I exist. Someone died, that looked a lot like you Envy and their loved ones broke then tried to bring you back. And so, Edward is broken as well. He is a lot useful to us when he can think and process regular situations such as what to do when we are in a storm."

Envy remained silent as Father smoothed back his new child's hair, to see his face as he slept.

"Now of course I can't change his sex. But I can make him love you with all the force in his little heart. Then his unrequited love with the Rockbell girl and his obedience he learned from the human "Oliver" will all go to you my son."

"But father, I'm not in love with him. He's the Runt who almost killed us Five years ago. If I hadn't bargained with the "God" of all beings, we wouldn't be back on the earth. I hate him." Envy protested in a silent voice.

"I know my child. However this is not your choice. My decision is absolute. You will love him back Envy. Which means I will Implant his thoughts into your mind, so you know what he's talking about. You are NOT to let him know that the love he feels for you in artificial. Do you understand?" Father looked at him sternly.

"Yes father..."

Envy growled and hissed as he walked down the hall to his room. Damn Damn Damn DAMN! He KNEW Father had another motive for making HIM and Pride go get the Runt. But he Never knew he'd go THAT far... Ugh... Now he'd have a little puppy following his every move, making him even angrier then he already was. God why couldn't he be Wrath?

Maybe he'd go vent some steam off to the Burnt out Colonel. Yess... That'll do the trick. He jumped out of the window and ran far to the east. He had traveled with Ed in silence for about five to six days after he'd been drugged with the poison of the ring. But after about a mile and a half he stopped running. He couldn't rap his mind around being with the Runt for eternity. It wasn't something he wanted to do... and yet Father's orders were final and he wasn't happy.

Basically, he was a child who had just been told to do a task he really didn't want to do. He sat down and looked at the darkening sky. He had vague memories of his life before he died. He was as spirited as the runt, that was for sure. He had a sister. She was wonderful in everything she did. His parents just skipped over him and adored her. He was like the black sheep of the family. He wanted to do something in music, or video production... his family shunned him for a year after that confession.

But his sister comes home with a Guitar playing fiancée and they smile and accept her choice in men.

"Feh-" Envy scowled. All he wanted to do was live a life that wasn't something the normal... Doctor, Lawyer... He wanted to be the Rebel that he was born to be. Then the day he died passed.

That day was a fuzz. He remembered getting up that morning, and kissing his sister goodbye before he left for college. He'd walked for half a mile and went all the way to the building of the church. It was still under construction and when it was finished the first thing they did was hold his funeral. He'd walked in the safety zone like he always did... but this day was different. He heard screams and felt a tug on his shirt, but for some reason this hurt more than usual. He looked down and saw... well a table saw. It had dislodged from the holder and went flying. Landing in his chest. The pain shortly come after he looked down, ripples in his nervous system causing him to fall down to his knees. The world went blurry and then he heard the sobs of his sister. He tried to turn his head towards her and couldn't. Something was linked to his face and he couldn't move his neck. His body was heavy as lead and he was well aware that he didn't have his knapsack.

"Doctor, what can we do for him?" his father had asked as if it were some sort of pain to save his son.

"Well he'll be paralyzed for the rest of his life. He's responding well to the medication so he should wake up within the next couple of hours." the doctor said.

"Sweetheart, could you give daddy and the doctor some time alone?" he asked sweetly to his sister. The movement of a chair and foot steps sounded... Then the closing of a door.

"Tell me the truth doctor."

"Well... I'm not sure how long he'll be able to sustain his normal body functions. He'd need to be changed everyday..."

"Is there an alternative?" his father asked.

What the fuck do you mean ALTERNATIVE?! I can hear you- you BASTARD! Good Lord What the hell is going on!?

"We, could... always take him off Medication. However I don't think-"

"Do it."

WHAT!?

"Excuse me... What did you say?" the doctor asked, in disbelief.

"He's nothing but a nuisence to the family anyhow. I'm not going to spend my hard earned money keeping an ungrateful Brat alive."

Father no- please no... I'm sorry... I'm so sorr-

"Are you okay?" a voice cut deep through his thoughts and Envy realized that Ed was standing behind him.

"Yeah... Yeah I'm fine Tiny. Who let you out?" Envy rasped trying not to feel old emotions of pain and fear and anger show on his face.

"Father wanted me to come get you. Its time for us to... umm..." his voice trailed off.

"You do realize, one you become mine, I will spare nothing that belongs to you. Privacy, Sex, Shower, Food... nothing will be nicely given." Envy growled.

Ed sat next to him, his knees close to his chest and he laid his golden head on his knees looking at Envy. Then he did something that made his heart melt.

He smiled at him.

"I'd rather live with you then die a pitiful death." Ed said.

"Then we shall go." Envy stood up looking back out into the distance.

Roy watched as Edward was swept off the ground like a child and carried off. His inner rage was boiling over as Ed slumped into his arms like he was his GIRLFRIEND!

HOW DARE HE! HE- HE- THAT LITTLE BASTARD!

Calm down, Calm down... just follow them- he thought. He needed to know what it was that was happening.
