I kind of already had an idea for the ouroboros marking for Edward for this chapter lol

Envy got out of surgery but he was put in a special room and no one was allowed to visit. The only thing they would tell them was that he was asleep and he would be for some time. Mustang had put Lieutenant Armstrong in charge until they heard more on Envy's condition. It had been three days already and Winry wasn't there yet. Edward dressed into some clean clothes.

"I need to get out. You think… you think you can wait for me?" Edward asked Roy.

"Of course. Get out and get some sunshine Fullmetal. You need it after everything you dealt with lately."

"Thanks… I'll be back in a little while."

Roy sat there waiting while Edward was out, even though he had no idea as to why he went out in the first place. It already had been two hours and there was no sign of him yet. Maybe he went o eat n got lost along the way? No, he knew Central like the back of his hand.

"Hey."

Roy looked up to see Riza standing there with two plates of food.

"Where's Edward? He never came back yet?"

Mustang shook his head.

"I wonder if he got lost."

"Maybe he wanted to do something special for Envy."

"Fuhrer, sir."

They looked up at the doctor and nurse who came in pushing in Envy's bed. Envy looked pretty much the same with some slight differences. His green hair wasn't thin like before, it was full and silky like Edward's. His violet eyes didn't look so sharp like they once were and he was more muscular manly looking than before. He was quite hot compared to before.

"What the fuck are you looking at?" Envy said hoarsely making Mustang grin.

"Ah, the attitude is still the same."

"Where's Ed?" Envy asked feeling slightly panicked.

"He went out to do something. He had been gone a while now."

Envy grimaced as he tried to shift his body some.

"How are you feeling?" Roy asked.

"I feel like I could run a few miles."

Rizal hid her smile as she looked away. His sarcasm was still strong.

"Anything we can do to make you feel better?"

Envy's eyes shifted from the Fuhrer to the Lieutenant.

"Do what we talked about a few days ago. You know you want too. Maybe the lovey dovey shit will make me feel better."

Mustang's face turned bright red as he looked over at Riza.

"Well?" Envy said smirking.

"Fine. Hawkeye-

"No, you're doing it wrong dumbass. You're making me hurt more."

"Shut up!"

Riza stared at the both of them confused.

"Riza... Will you go out with me?" Mustang asked trying to regain some dignity.

Her face turned pink.

"You're supposed to say yes now."

She stared at him in disbelief.

"Well?"

Riza looked at Roy, "Yes. I'd love too."

"It's about fucking time," he said, "Your puppy dog eyes were killing me every time I saw you two."

She laughed, "What about you?"

"I already told Edward. To be fair I think he thought we were going to die so he said yes."

"Said yes to what?" they asked in unison.

"To marry me, duh."

They stared at him.

Knock, knock

Edward walked in and looked at Envy. He smiled sleepily at the alchemist.

"Did it work?" Envy asked.

Edward smiled softly, "I want you to be there when I try it. I want us to do it together."

He stood there staring at Envy taking in his human form.

"I'm sorry," Edward said.

Envy frowned, "For what?"

"You're hurt..."

The green hair man laughed weakly, "I had too. I needed human organs because I never had any before. I knew what I would have to pay before we went in... I just didn't want to tell you."

Edward said nothing.

"I still meant it though. I love you. You deal with my twisted desires and fucked up thoughts. You didn't care as long as it made me happy."

Edward nodded in agreement.

"I understand how you feel now."

"What do you mean?" the blonde man asked.

"I've been awake for six hours but I asked them to keep me by myself for a while. I needed some time to process everything. I see why you reacted the way you did with everything. I only ever felt anger and jealously… some fear. I see why you felt the way you did towards me and I'm sorry I wasn't able to understand until now."

Edward took Envy's hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Winry was standing outside of the hospital room listening. So, they really did like each other. The two of them seemed like an odd combination at the time but it made sense. They were enemies at one point and they had seen each other at their worst... Now their best and the rock bottom of everything else.

"For me I was power tripping. The way I was able to manipulate you so easily at first but then when I stayed after a few days it wasn't like that anymore."

Winry knocked on the door. She couldn't listen anymore without it getting her heart broken more than it was.

"Come in."

Winry walked in carrying a giant case in one hand and duffle bag on the opposite side.

"What happened to you?!" she said dropping her stuff upon seeing the condition Envy was in.

"Well, I'm human which is why I am missing limbs. Why the hell are you here?"

Winry's face turned pink and she glared at him, "Ed asked me to help you."

Envy's head snapped in Edward's direction. He couldn't believe he would ask her of all people but the fact he put aside his feelings to get him help meant a lot more.

"You called her."

Edward nodded. Envy sighed but he had a smile on his face.

"Of course, you would. People are so weird."

"Can I look at you?" Winry asked and he nodded.

"We will be back in a little bit. I'm going to do some paperwork," Mustang said standing up.

Riza waved to them and they were gone.

"I have to measure everything."

"Ok."

Envy flinched some as Winry went around touching his wounded limbs. She tried to be careful mostly because she didn't know him and how well he handled pain. He didn't cuss or yell which made her job easier. After she finished with her measuring tape, she started writing things on her paper.

"Am I broken?" Envy asked grinning.

Winry smiled, "No. You're an inch shorter than Edward, but you're more muscular than him at this point in time. Since I'm here, I'll check up on his leg too."

"I got you a present," Edward said looking at Envy.

Envy raised an eyebrow, "You didn't walk in with a box or anything."

Edward grinned, "It's on me."

"No offense but I can't take a dick right now and my asshole is literally a virgin all over again."

Winry's mouth opened like it was going to hit the floor in shock.

"No, not that!" Edward cries his face flaming red.

He walked over to the other side Envy's bed and unbuckled his belt then in buttoned hi pants. He slid it on his left side showing a red ouroboros tattoo like Envy had before he became human. His violet eyes widened and his mouth opened a little but no words came out.

"It's a tattoo. For you."

Envy relaxed, "That's not what I thought it was."

"Why would I do something so stupid? There's no one here to make me a homunculus anyways."

"You like being punished, don't you?" Envy asked teasing him.

"I was scared but it didn't hurt as much as my arm did."

"I can't believe you got one. You were always afraid of needles," Winry said smiling.

"I couldn't help it though."

"Hey… you think they'll let me start eating again?" Envy asked, "I could kill for something to eat?"

The hospital room doors busted open with Alphonse and Mei running in.

"Brother!" he cried and hugged Edward a little too tight. He yelped from the sudden pain in his back.

"Envy!" Mei cried rushing over to his side, "What happened to you?!"

"What are you talking about?" Envy asked trying to act obvious to the fact he only had two limbs but she caught on and gave him a small smile.

Alphonse looked at Edward then at Envy.

"You guys did it, didn't you?" he whispered.

They nodded in unison.

Alphonse sat down in a chair and put his face in his hands.

"I wish you didn't," he said even though his words were muffled by his hands.

"We made it out just fine," Edward said but his brother looked at up with an angry look on his face, "Did you not learn anything?! Do you remember what happened last time?!" he yelled.

Envy sighed, "I forced him."

The younger Elric brother looked at Envy like he was lying.

"It's the truth. I had intentions of sacrificing myself for his gate in the beginning but I ended up having the payment to be human anyways."

"The both of you are stupid!" Alphonse yelled and Envy rolled his eyes.

"Of all people, I figured you would understand wanting something," the bedridden man said, "I didn't have much time left on this planet anyways and this was my last effort without using Philosopher's Stones. I know how much Edward and you were against them, so I didn't want to use those. I respected your feelings enough."

"I'm sorry."

Envy looked at Winry, "How long will it take before I can walk like a normal person?"

"It depends on how fast I can make everything. Also, I will have to put on the pieces to connect the arm and that's not easy. Here at the hospital I can so you can be put under. Edward had to stay awake and aware when we did his."

"It's that bad huh?"

Edward nodded, "Connecting the nerves is the worst part."

"Can you and the blonde girl leave the room?" Envy asked, "Find out if I can eat. I'm fucking starving."

Edward kissed him on the forehead and headed out with Winry behind him. Mei and Alphonse went to follow them but Envy cleared his throat making them stop.

"I want to talk to you actually."

Mei and Alphonse looked confused.

"I know you two are getting married in another year, right?" Envy asked.

"Yes, we are!" Mei said with an excited smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Alphonse asked, "You can stay at the house with us until you want to leave."

Envy's cheeks turned a little pink, "Well, I planned on not ever leaving."

"Wait-

"It is what you think."

The engaged couple clapped excitedly, "It's about time! Edward finally has someone!"

It was about a week later and Envy was losing patience sitting in the hospital bed. He was bored and he need to move. He was tired of asking people to help him go to the bathroom. He had been on a liquid diet for five days already and he wanted some of Riza's chicken noodle soup or her beef stew. He even started throwing his pillows at the nurses in they came in. He wasn't the type to be pent up for so long without moving.

"Envy Elric?" a woman called from behind the door.

Envy's face turned dark red. He hated when they called his that, but he had no last name and they demanded one. Edward was already his husband by their standards so they just gave him his last name.

"Yea?" he called.

"We are wheeling you to the surgery room where Winry will be attending."

"Alright. You can come in I won't throw anything."

The nurse opened the door to see he was talking to Miss Hawkeye. Edward was asleep next to him on his hospital bed event though he was yelled at several times for doing it.

"Ed."

Envy shook his shoulder a little bit and Edward opened his eyes. He was annoyed being woke up again.

"Hm?"

"I'm going to surgery get up."

Edward sat up too quickly and fell out of the bed slamming his metal leg into the floor.

"Shit!" he yelled but Envy started laughing.

"That's why they said one person per bed."

A few nurses walked in and started getting his bed ready to pull him away.

"Wait!" Edward yelled rushing to his boyfriend's side. He hugged Envy tight and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" Envy asked.

"I'll be here waiting. I just… I love you."

Edward kissed Envy roughly and pulled away.

"Aww," said one of the nurses making the two men blush.

They wheeled him away leaving Edward and Riza alone. He felt like his chest was tight and he couldn't breathe well. He knew what kind of pain he would be in and that was enough to worry him. Edward wouldn't wish automail on anyone because of how painful it was. He looked down at his right arm wondering how he had survived all of it until then.

"He'll be fine."

Edward nodded but he stayed quiet.

They wheeled Envy back in after three hours. Winry came in last with a big grin on her face. She was already dressed in regular clothes. It must've been successful for her since she couldn't stop smiling. The nurses left as Winry walked across the room to a table she had been working on. She pulled the cover off of it revealing a metal arm and leg for Envy.

"I am ready whenever you are Edward."

Edward looked at her funny.

"What?"

"You are going to help me connect the nerves. Riza and Roy will be here shortly to help out. He may jolt awake out of his drugged induced slumber. They will hold him down while we do it."

The color had drained from his face, "I don't want to hurt him."

Winry sighed, "I didn't want to hurt you either but I had too. You being able to walk again meant more to me than you being in pain for a few minutes."

He had nothing to say to that.

"We're here!" Riza announced as they walked through the door.

"Roy, you'll hold his torso down while Riza holds his arm."

Winry inserted the metal leg into the metal socket. She walked over and inserted the metal arm.

"Edward get down there and when I say three, turn the level to the other side as hard as you can. This is a lot more sturdy and harder to connect than yours was. I know how he is and I wanted to make sure it will last him a while. Are you ready for this?"

Edward felt like his mouth was dry as a desert.

"I don't know."

"This will hurt him more if he's awake," Winry said, "Do this for him, ok?"

He nodded reluctantly and grabbed the lever.

"One… two… THREE!" she yelled.

At the same time, they jerked the levers, connecting his nerves and his body jumped from the shock.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" he woke up screaming flinging both arms and arching his back in pain.

Everyone moved away from him in time without getting hit.

"FUCK!" he screamed some more shaking his metal fist at Winry but he stopped and looked down.

"How does it feel?' Winry asked with a proud smile and a twinkle in her eye.

"I feel like I have an arm but I can't feel through it… Does that make sense?" he asked quietly.

"That's exactly how it feels. I will keep working until I can produce automail where you can feel things."

Envy stared at his leg next, "It's pretty amazing."

Winry blushed, "Thanks."

"Can I get up?" Envy asked.

"You can try, it might hurt your limbs they're connected too but you can try."

He grabbed Edward's hand and put both of his feet onto the ground. His heart raced with excitement and nervousness. The feeling was almost too much to handle but he forced himself off the bed and he felt so weird. Edward wrapped an arm around his waist and Envy led him outside into the hallway. Envy took a deep breath like he was outside breathing air for the first time.

"Can we go outside?" Envy whispered.

"Anything you want."

He grinned and pulled away from Edward.

"That feels so good," he said softly walking forward.

He looked back at Edward and grinned deviously before breaking into a full speed sprint.

"Hey!" Fullmetal yelled but he couldn't help but smile.

Edward took off running after his green haired boyfriend. Envy had no problems adjusting to the artificial limbs- it was like they were his own. Edward chased him outside into the flower covered yard outside. Envy looked back to see his other half trying to catch up with him. Winry, Roy and Riza caught up within a few minutes as Envy grabbed Edward's hands.

"Let's try it now."

"Try what?" Edward asked confused.

"You are Fullmetal again."

"I-

"I just started running and you're gonna tell me that you're afraid of it? You're afraid your alchemy won't work?"

Edward nodded. He had been afraid but he didn't want to say it out loud. He was afraid of sounding like a fool.

"Come on. This is my first time too."

Edward smiled and they stood side by side.

"On three. Let's make a couple statues."

Envy laughed and Edward took a deep breath.

"One… two… three!"

Edward and Envy clapped their hands together at the same time and touched the ground. The ground shook and rock shot into the air. There stood a six-foot statue of a tree and one of a dog. Edward put his hands on his face trying not to cry from the excitement of doing alchemy again. Envy tapped on his shoulder making him look up.

"I love you," Envy whispered and kissed him.
