I'M NOT FUCKING DEAD!!!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!!
-coughs- I can't believe I've been so lazy… I'm such a bad person… Please don't hate me… For some reason, my mind's been "No, fuck that," lately. Shit, let's just say my life is real fucked up at the moment.
So, here it is! The long awaited (hopefully…) thirteenth chapter!
Disclaimer: Same as always. I'M A POOR KID. I own NOTHING!
Warnings: Angst and the test results!
Chapter 13: Results
Weeks and soon months dragged by. It was a daily battle for Al and Envy just to get Edward out of bed. The blonde had fallen into depression and spent a lot of time away from the house. Envy refused to give him any more drugs, causing Ed to get angry and steal them while Envy wasn't looking.
After getting pushed away too much by an angsty Edward, Envy stormed off, taking his small amount of possessions with him. The angry teen stormed to Greed's, only to be reminded that he had acted just like Ed when waiting for the test results.
Envy sulked at the bar for days until he got a phone call from Alphonse.
Greed had answered and after listening for a while, he handed the phone over to Envy. The teen gave a quizzical look but when Greed left, he sighed and picked up the discarded phone.
"Hello?"
"Envy? Thank god… I didn't know where else to call if you weren't here…"
"Alphonse… Been a while, huh?" Envy forced himself to sound happy.
"Yeah… Look, I'm really worried… My dad called today and he said something to Ed…Anyway, Ed got really mad and took off… I don't know where he went!"
"What's that got to do with me?" Envy clenched his teeth to prevent any worry leaking into his voice.
"Envy please… We both know how much you like Ed… So can you help me find him? Please?"
A sigh came from the longhaired teen. "Fine. I'll go look for him."
"Thank you so much, Envy. Goodbye." Alphonse sounded relieved as he hung up the phone.
Envy hung up the phone and set it down on the bar counter. He stared at it for a while before getting up and walking up to his temporary room. Plopping down on his bed, Envy stared up at the ceiling, zoning out. Greed came in and sat down on the bed next to him.
"Is everything alright?"
"… Ed is missing. Al wants me to go look for him."
"Do you want to find him?"
"Yes… But I'm not sure if I want to see him… Does that make any sense?"
"Yeah… It does. Though… Envy, if you want to find him, you should. He might be in some kind of trouble. You can at least go check and see that he is not hurt."
"…. Maybe you're right… Fine, I'll go look for him." Envy sat up and gave Greed a hug. "Thanks Greed…"
The wild-haired body left, leaving Greed behind and confused by Envy's actions.
A smoggy rain had started to fall over L.A. Envy ran through the streets, an old black umbrella keeping him dry. As he searched all their usual places, like the park and the movies, a seed of worry began to sprout and grow in Envy's mind. What is Ed was hurt? What if he was doing something stupid, like shooting up in a dark alley? Again?
Envy picked up his pace, ignoring the puddles that soaked his feet when he stepped in them. The teen was close to giving up. After all, L.A. was so huge and Ed was so… small.
That's when Envy spotted a familiar head of blonde hair standing outside a café. Ed wore a blank look as he stared around at the heavy city traffic.
Unsure of how to approach the small boy, Envy hesitated for a moment before running over and grabbing Ed's arm.
"Ed! Alphonse is worried about you…"
Ed looked up slowly; the dead look never fading from his face. "Envy…"
"Your brother said your father called… What did he say?"
"He… he found out about my test…" At that, the small blonde burst into tears and wrapped his arms tightly around Envy's middle.
"Wha… What?"
"He found out! They didn't tell him what I had done though! But Envy! He found out my results! That's why he called!"
Envy looked down, totally shocked by those words. "Wait… today you found out?"
Ed nodded and buried his face in Envy's baggy jacket.
"Well… what were the results?" Envy asked softly, almost afraid to ask.
"Envy… I'm scared…"
"Dammit, Ed, tell me!"
"…I'm positive, okay?!"
TBC.
Mwaha. I shouldn't laugh. I took forever on this.
Review and yell at me as much as you want. I've finished this school year so now I have more time.
Again, I am sorry.
