Chapter nine: Roy actually DOES have a son
Roy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. "I hate mornings." He mumbled. "Always so… Quiet."
He got dressed and opened his door, blinking and staring down. A little four-year-old- boy stood right there, holding a tine note. Roy knelt down and mumbled, "Can I help you?"
The boy shoved the note in his face. "Mommy said to give this to you."
"Mm." Roy grabbed the note and scanned it over. "Oh, Hell…"
Roy,
Hey, guess who? Pyra. Four years ago we went a little… Too far, you might say. When I joined up with the homunculi, Lust almost killed him for calling her hair ugly and Gluttony almost ate him, because… Well, because he could. Envy, however, took a shine to the boy and offered to help me raise him. Yeah. So I brought him back to you. His name is Roy, after you. So I suggest you take care of him. I taught him a little alchemy. We got past equivalent exchange and junk like that. Later, babe!
Pyra, or now, Renkinjutsu
"Damn." Roy pocketed the note. "Er… Roy, is it?"
The boy nodded.
"Well, I know you're my son by your looks… So come on. Let's get to work."
On the roof of Roy's apartment buildingRenkinjutsu smirked as she saw Roy walk out with his son. "So the colonel took in his son."
"Aw, I really wanted to take care of him with you!" Envy crossed his arms and turned into Roy. "I could even turn into Roy for you! See?"
"Envy, please." Renkinjutsu sighed. "I could never see in you what I see in him."
"Why, I never!" He scowled. "I'm BETTER than him!"
"Yes, you are. But Roy…"
"Yes, go on."
"…Is sexy."
"GAH!" Envy fell over. "CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT I CURRENTLY LOOK EXACTLY LIKE HIM?"
"He's sexy in his own way. You're sexy in a sort of man-this-palm tree-headed-guy-is-really-weird-but-really-cool kind of way."
"It's nice to hear someone thinks I'm pretty." Envy muttered.
"Yes but, Envy, I just didn't want my son to be raised with violence. Nor did I want him to know he is half homunculus."
Lust sighed. "You're the most human out of all of us, though I despise the thought."
"I know." Renkinjutsu glared down at Roy. "I wish he was a homunculus too."
"What homunculus would he be? Chaos? Death?"
"Hm… We could always change him to Lust…"
"HELL NO!"
"I was just kidding. Relax."
