Envy

Envy is a little game that those like to play when they want the sweet, sweet smell of revenge, or they want to just get that one minute out of someone's life to feel better than the other. As dangerous as this game is played, those brave enough dare to declare it, but the weak fall to easily. No, no. It's only the far most strongest amongst those who shall find their way to true victory, and claim the wonderful title as "winner". If you win these games, you're one of the most powerful, unstoppable, and undefeated in the games of life. After all, only two can play at this game. And that's just what I'm about to endure.

If there's one thing I do know, it's that since Lucus and I broke up, life's been crazy, yet, even better. Mello's definitely the type of man for me. He's flirtatious, sexy, thoughtful (oh, I didn't tell you? Mello bought me a Lady Gaga CD I've had my eyes on. Aw, he's so sweet, unlike a certain someone who DIDN'T think of me our ENTIRE relationship.), loving, caring, and one special thing... lustful. I know what you're thinking... No, we haven't had sex (not counting the time I got drunk), but he's a very lustful kind of man. He'll be jumping for joy when I have my baby, cause then we can make love all he wants. Sides, better to even get sex, rather than barely have it at all.

Ah-hem, changing the topic. Speaking of my baby, my baby boy (not sure if it's a boy, but I just know it'll be one.), he should be arriving any day now! Isn't life grand! Anyway, after I have my baby, I'm moving into a nice big house for me, the baby, Charlie, and Mello to live in. It'll be great. And it'll make Lucus' house look like a piece of crap, too.

_-_-_-Battle 1-_-_-_

Hand in hand, Mello and I walked down the sidewalk. I clung to his arm in a ever-so-cute fashion, and I didn't really care who was watching. Mello cared at first, but I talked him into not caring a damn bit. Sides, who cares? We're just people like everyone else. So what if we both have sticks (*wink*)? We can still love. ….I could go deeper into this topic of the homosexuality rights garbage, but I'd just begin to bore you with that.

Anyway, while the two of us strolled along, my eye just happened to catch something I couldn't take my eyes off of...

Lucus was kissing Larry Oak on a park bench. LUCUS was kissing Larry Oak on a park bench. Lucus WAS kissing Larry Oak on a park bench. Lucus was KISSING Larry Oak on a park bench. Lucus was kissing LARRY OAK on a park bench. Lucus was kissing Larry Oak ON a park bench. Lucus was kissing Larry Oak on A park bench.

Lucus was kissing Larry Oak on a PARK BENCH!

Let me tell you, this aggravated the living hell out of me, as obvious as it was from my last statements. I wanted to pull that man away from Lucus and pull him back into my arms and fuck his-

"Barry, are you okay?" Larry asked. Oh... how long have we been standing here?

I sighed and looked up (yes, he actually over-towers me) into his gleaming brown eyes, "Yes, I'm fine. I just had a blond moment, is all... heh..." I could feel the sweat dripping down my face.

He arched his black eyebrow, "Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Okay then."

Then I had an idea. An awful idea... "Say... how about we go hang out in the park today, Hot Shot." I cooed, running a finger down his chest and pulled at his belt buckle.

My darling boyfriend smirked. "I'd love to."

See, what'd I tell you? I'm better off without Lucus (Author: Then what the hell are you obsessing over Lucus for?).

I just happened to spot a tree near by the bench Lucus and Larry were flirting on. PERFECT! I dragged Mello to the tree and pushed him up against that thing as hard as I could. My next action was to smack my lips crashing against Mello's, where we passionately began kissing. The deeper the kiss, the more I managed to earn a moan from Mello. I begged for entrance, and he allowed my tongue to slip into his mouth, thus, the battle for dominance began. While we were having those wars, I released Mello's arms so he would be able to wrap them around my waist, and oh, how lovely it felt when his hands touched my back, feeling up every part of it. My hands placed themselves on Mello's shoulders, and ran up and down his chest. A loud moan escaped his lips, and I could feel his breath against my face. I won the game for dominance while I caught him off-guard, but then we had to stop due to lack of air. We ceased the kiss and gazed into eachother's eyes, panting for a gasp of air.

"You're really cute, you know." Mello cooed.

I smiled and felt my face burn, "You're even cuter."

"No, you're cuter."

I giggled and rested my face against his chest. I was able to get a glance towards where I last spotted Lucus and Larry, but when I looked, they weren't there anymore. Hm, is it safe to assume they saw us? I'll just go with yes and be done with it.

_-_-_-Battle 2-_-_-_

On a very random Saturday, it was, I felt like just taking a walk around the mall. Every once in a while, they get some new things, and some of the time, it'll be useful things. Sides, it doesn't hurt to look around the mall every once in a while, right?

In this one store, my eye caught something really nice, and shiny, and when I looked up from the object, you'll never guess who was standing next to me...

"Enjoying life without me still?" Lucus asked.

I huffed, "Of course I'd be," I lied, "especially since he and I plan to get married soon."

"Oh really?" He arched his thin eyebrow. "You have not forgotten about my wedding with Larry, have you?"

"Yeah, and I bet the only reason you're marrying that two-timing jerk is because he fucked you enough to get ya pregnant, somehow." I smirked. "Or is it the other way around, now?"

Lucus sneered. "Do not start that non-sense with me! You know as well as I do that, that is not the type of person I am, thank you!" He turned his back to me. "I am so much more happier with him than I ever was with you. At least he respects my personal boundaries."

"Boundaries?"

"Yes, you heard me."

I snapped. Boundaries? HE has boundaries? That's it! "You know damn well I NEVER did a damn thing to you that you didn't want me to! If anything, the worst I've done is see you stark naked in bed!"

"You know damn well that you have forced me to do those things!"

"Don't even try me!"

Then I began to notice we had a small audience staring at us. Fuck. And to make things worse, one of those mall cops came over and kicked us out of the store because we were screaming at each other, obviously. Now we were granted to yell and scream at each other infront of an even bigger audience if we wished to, which is where I thought this argument was gonna lead to, but Lucus didn't start yelling at me again, which didn't provoke me to yell back.

"Listen... what we had before is the past, and we cannot dwell on it. We should learn from it and let our grudge on each other go."

I could feel an ache inside of me that burned when I breathed. "You're right..."

"And just because we are both getting married," he said, "it does not mean we cannot be friends like we used to be."

"Okay..."

Lucus smiled his precious smile. "I am glad we talked this over. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to make preparations for my wedding tomorrow." And before I could stop him, he took off.

…A thought kept echoing in my head...

"But I want to be more than your friend," I thought. "I want to be more than your friend."
