Well I'm glad to know that some of you do enjoy my story and I'd really hate to punish all of you because a few people were being hateful. Though it does make me sad that it took the possibility of no more updates to get you guys to review. But ANYWAY. Here's the next chapter. I hope you like it. I didn't realize that having sex three times in 14 chapters was 'too much'. And as a review DID point out, this story is M, so if you don't like it. Don't read.

Chapter 14

Envy and Ed could be found in the common room most days, Envy would be his female self to mollify any who were grossed out by the guy thing, he still didn't understand why. But he went along with it, he didn't mind, Ed would usually read something while running his fingers through Envy's hair, Envy loved the little touches and glances and smiles Ed would send his way, it made him feel so good he had started to feel apprehension about returning to their own world, they couldn't do this, not while they were there. He was starting to believe he had to enjoy it while it lasted, it didn't help that after several more weeks the children were talking about their end of the year exams. He was starting to get clingy and jumpy and it was worrying for Ed.

"Are you okay?" he asked one day before he was getting ready for bed, Envy shook his head and pursed his lips staring out the other window out at the grounds which were warmer and starting to get more colorful.

"Envy?" Ed asked again, letting the towel he'd been using to dry his hair rest around his shoulders. He walked over to the quiet homunculus and wrapped his arms around him, "What's wrong?"

Envy didn't answer immediately, but when he did it might have been better if he hadn't, "What made us think we could do this?" he whispered, Ed rested his head on his shoulder.

"Do what?" he asked, even though he already had a good idea.

"Be...together, we can't do this when we get back...I'll have to go back to how I was, Father will get rid of me if I change...I don't want you to die, or get hurt...it's not fair Ed...it's not fair!" he yelled turning around fast and glaring at Ed who stumbled back.

"Envy..." Ed took a hesitant step forward, "I know it's hard...I know going back home will make it hard but I think-"

"No! We should never have done this! You tricked me into it didn't you?! You're trying to make me weak so we fail!" he yelled at him, Ed stared at him wide eyed.

"No...Envy I...of course not, I didn't..." He opened and closed his mouth several times a little stunned at the sudden reappearance of Envy's old personality.

"Yes you did! You're fooling me! You don't really care!" He yelled, his fists were clenched and it looked like he was going to cry.

"Envy!" Ed cried in outrage back, but Envy was already crumpling to the floor he held his head in his hands, crunched over, rocking. Ed took a deep breath to calm himself, after the initial shock he'd gone straight to angry.

"It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair," he whined quietly, Ed kneeled down next to him and gently put his hand on his shoulder, Envy shook it off, but Ed was stubborn.

"Envy...you know I would never do that, not even to you." He whispered putting his hand back on him, "I never intended for this to happen...and now that it has...I don't want it to stop either." His other hand started to pet his head, smoothing his hair.

"Lying..." Envy muttered, Ed shook his head, even though Envy couldn't see.

"I'm not lying." Ed said, "I want to stay with you, I-...I love you."

Envy's head whipped up and stared at Ed in shocked silence.

"Y-you what?" he gasped, Ed looked at him straight on.

"I love you. I will do whatever it takes to keep you in my life like this, even if it means changing how things are in our world, we will find a way." He said determined.

"O-oh." Envy squeaked his eyes wide, Ed loved him, love! For him, Envy the worst sin. He couldn't believe it, but he had to because right now he was feeling amazing, warm and light and giddy and light headed. "D-do you really?" he asked and Ed laughed lightly he leaned forward and pecked Envy's lips.

"I really do," he smiled, "I was pretty surprised too, don't get me wrong I was in denial for weeks, but...it's true, no one has made me feel the way you do, and I mean outside of the moaning." he said and Envy grinned.

"Wow..." he said and beamed, "Wow..." he wiggled happily and then tackled Ed to the ground, "You love me! I feel so stupid, but I'm too happy to care!"

Ed laughed, hugging Envy tightly, "And I'll tell you how ever many times you'd like to hear it," he said and Envy nuzzled him.

"Oh you're going to regret saying that," he sang, "Say it again!"

"I love you,"

"Again!"

"I love you,"

Envy cackled happily hugging Ed tightly to him, Ed smiled he'd never seen Envy this happy before, and he was glad he was the one who made him so, he hugged him back.

"We will figure something out," he said, "we will be together, I promise."

"I promise too," Envy replied, still feeling stupidly giddy, but hell he didn't care, Ed loved him. Him of all people! It was amazing to feel this way.

Envy and Ed stayed together all night, it was probably the best nights either of them had, and they didn't even have to take their clothes off.

"Hey Ed...why is the flower that lady gave us pulsating?" Envy asked one day, Ed walked out of the bathroom and he looked at the flower in question.

"I...do not know," he said slowly the flower was in fact pulsating, glowing softly in a steady beat, "That is really weird."

"Uh...yeah it really is," Envy poked it and it glowed back, "Hee..." he poked it again and it glowed, "Heheheheh," he poked his finger out once more and Ed slapped his hand.

"Stop it," he said and then thought, "Hey do you remember what she said about the flower?" he asked and Envy shrugged.

"Maybe," he said, "Something about a wish...?" he shrugged.

"You wanna try?" Ed grinned, Envy laughed.

"Why Mr. Elric, I never took you for the superstitions type," Envy purred, Ed laughed and waved his hand.

"I'm not, but hey, what could happen?" he asked and Envy shrugged.

"We might explode, you do make a lot of things explode," he said Ed scowled.

"Accidentally destroy a few buildings once and you can never catch a break," he mumbled, Envy laughed.

"So, what will we wish for?" he asked looking excited.

"World peace?" Ed suggested with a cheeky grin, Envy made a disgusted face.

"How about world domination, it's practically the same thing," he suggested back, at which Ed rolled his eyes.

"We should do something...just for us," Ed said tapping his fingers on the table, "We could wish for us to stay together..."

"Getting all grossly romantic huh?" Envy teased then he shrugged, "Why the hell not?" Ed laughed.

"It's not going to work, that's something we have to figure out, so you're right, why not?" he grinned, "Now let's see, how do we word it?"

"It has to be worded right?" Envy asked and Ed shrugged,

"Might as well be," Ed replied, "You said grossly romantic...guess it has to be gross now..." he grinned.

"It better be, that's what I'm expecting now, smart ass," he said and Ed laughed.

"Right, right," he sighed and then crossed his arms to think, it took him a lot longer to think of a few words than it did for him to think of a complicated array.

"How about 'we wish for-' no, or 'we want to have-' no," he pouted and huffed, Envy rolled his eyes.

"'We wish to be promised together until the end of both of our days', Gate pipsqueak it's not that hard," Envy said, Ed turned and stared at him.

"How did you get that?" he gaped, Envy shrugged.

"Just came to me," he shrugged, Ed pouted.

"Fine we'll use that," he grumbled and Envy laughed.

"Somebody is jealous~" he sang, fluttering his eyelashes comically.

"Oh please," he shook his head but laughed at the irony.

"So...how do we do this...?" Ed asked and suddenly felt stupid, Envy noticed and then poked his forehead.

"No you started it, we're going to do it, not chickening out now," Envy said and then shrugged, "I think we need to touch it, it did glow..." he said.

"Okay...let's get this over with..." he blushed, Envy grinned, glad he was getting embarrassed, it was cute.

"Right," He reached out and touched the flower, it glowed, Envy did the same and it glowed brighter.

"Told ya," Envy grinned, and Ed huffed.

"Just say the stupid wish!" he grumbled, Envy leaned over and kissed him.

"Only if you say it with me," he whispered, being even more cheekily romantic, Ed looked over at him.

"You've been reading romance novels for sex ideas again...haven't you?" he asked, Envy grinned.

"Yup," he beamed Ed sighed then nodded, "Kay, three, two, one,"

"We wish to be promised together until the end of both of our days," they spoke together and then the flower started to glow brightly and get very hot, they both pulled their hands away in surprise and watched in complete amazement as the flower glowed brighter and brighter and then seemed to melt. Slowly it did, seeping into the dirt and before either of them could say anything, two smaller stems formed, two round vines were on the top but each was changing color one was turning gold while the other was turning silver, it didn't take those long to to make rings, but they weren't done, the gold one was growing what looked like pimples, the silver was growing square pimples. Once they were finished there in the pot sat two perfect rings, one was gold with blood red circle rubies, the other was silver with envious green square emeralds.

Ed and Envy looked at each other wide eyed and then back, Envy elbowed Ed.

"You take it," he whispered Ed squeaked.

"No way! You take it!" he hissed, he said and then Envy wiggled and reached his hand out towards the silver ring but stopped halfway and then took the gold ring.

"This one..." He muttered, Ed blinked Envy wasn't exploding.

He grabbed the silver one and looked down at it, "It's kind of like you," he said and then slipped it on his ring finger, for some reason it felt like it belonged there, Envy did the same and hummed.

"I never wear rings...how strange...that flower is wacky." He said Ed nodded in agreement, then he grinned.

"Hey! I get it! They're promise rings!" he laughed, Envy looked confused.

"Promise rings?" he asked and Ed nodded.

"Yeah, we said the words 'promised' and 'together' in the wish, so, it fulfilled it!" he laughed, "And we were worried," he shook his head, "Wow."

"You mean you were worried," Envy grinned and Ed stuck his tongue out, "Oh yeah, keep doing that and I'll bite it off," he growled Ed stuck it out further and Envy tackled him to the couch, and started attacking his mouth with his own. They no longer noticed the rings because they felt like they belonged. Their wish would come true.
