Ironic
Everything was all set, he fell for the trap as easily as I could will the change of my appearance. The blond boy was mentally drained after we took his precious brother away from him. Now he was pretty much a doll that was about to shatter into pieces, making it easy to get close to him. Dante gave me the 'okay' to put an end to this alchemist's long past due expiry date, and I immediately left to look for the bastard's son to put him out of his misery.
Almost on the brink of breaking down completely, the chibi was now lying on my lap, clinging on tight as if for dear life (soon enough, it would be) while sobbing uncontrollably, head buried into my waist. I looked down at him disgustedly. Tsk, why didn't I just kill him on the spot instead of taking the 'bright' idea of doing it after I made him trust me, making him think I, a homunculus, cared for him.
Heh, I thought to myself, you'll see when the time comes. You'll feel what I felt, you'll feel what He put me through… Our creator so as to say, the one who abandoned us and who left me to die, to rot, while still incomplete.
I glimpsed down at the sobbing boy, blond hair a mess. The moonlight sliced its way down through a gap in the curtains and down onto the figure lying on my lap. As I wrapped my arms around the boy's head in fake affection, I raised one arm, transformed to the likeness of a fellow fallen homunculus' claw like nails, amethyst eyes gleaming in the dark, and initiated the arm's descend upon the boy.
"En…vy…" He managed to stutter out from his seemingly unstoppable sobs.
My hand just halted mid air on its own as the boy called out to me. As much as my head was telling my body to move and deal the final strike, it refused to comply. Damnit! My chance is now! Move you cursed body!
"I-I… Th-Thank you for every…thing…" He sniffed, and raised his head to look up at me with those tear-filled red eyes. I then had mentally noted to change my clawed arm back to its proper gloved arm form. I don't know if it was that innocent, teary face or the 'gratitude' that just came from nowhere that got to me. It just seemed that, that particular organ beneath my upper left chest had started to pound increasingly. It shouldn't be… homunculus don't have a soul…or a heart. I cursed to my dysfunctional body as I gazed upon the tear covered face once more.
The second time that night, I wrapped my arms around the blond boy, this time with the intent of murder vapourised into the cool thin night air.
"Shh…It's okay." I caressed the blond head gently, "You're gonna need all the energy you can get so rest now. Sleep, ochi-" I paused to think over the choice of words and corrected myself, "Edward."
I pulled the little alchemist into a tight but comforting embrace. The sobs ceased and the tight grip around my waist loosened. I leaned my head against that of the FullMetal's, assuming that sleep had finally overcome him from the limpness of his body. And once more in the same night, he called out my name.
"Envy…" His voice muffled slightly, "I love you."
I blinked momentarily, taken back by the sudden response. As the minutes went past, I got used to the silence again. I held on tightly to the sleeping alchemist, knowing well he had completely drifted into slumber land.
"I love you too…" Pausing yet again to ponder over my words, "Edward..."
It was all too ironic.
Ironic that both of us were guys, who could preferably have gone for girls, but were now in each other's arms.
Ironic that I, a homunculus, lay with an alchemist.
Ironic that I was beside the son of my world's number one hated person.
Ironic that the one I set out to kill, was now in my embrace.
Ironic that Envy, the worst enemy of Edward Elric, found love in him too.
