Points Of Authority

Yo! Envysloyalservant here… This is my first fic outside of Inu Yasha and under my new pen name. Yes, no more with the Inu Yasha… Anywho, this is, quite obviously, an EnvyxEd fic. Yes, my dear friends, this is yaoi. If you don't like it, guess what? You shouldn't read it. o.o But I hope you not only like and read it, but you review on it, too! Is that too much to ask?

… Okay, so the title really has nothing to do with the story (yet… I might find a way to fit it in…) That just happens to be the song I'm listening to right now. You should really listen to it, it's a really good EnvyxEd song. You know, like the show EnvyxEd- the whole "I hate you, I hope you die and burn in hell" thing. Yeah… On that topic, I obviously don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, or Roy would be consumed by his own flames in some freakish yet totally awesome "accident," and Envy and Ed would be lovers… O.o Does anyone see that happening? No:disappointed sigh: Me neither. Oh! FYI- I'm basing Envy more off of manga Envy, with some anime Envy moments… Okay, now I know you didn't click on this particular link to hear me talk, so I'm gonna get on with it now.

It was a still, dark night in East City. The only light came from the waning moon, which was hardly, if at all, noticeable. A sudden blackout had thrown the citizens of the city into a somewhat panicked state. East City Headquarters had dispatched a few groups to try to calm the citizens down, assuring them that the military was doing all it could to get the problem straightened out. While this was going on, a rather disgruntled blond-haired alchemist complained to his superior, a dark haired, chocolate eyed man, about the unfairness of his current situation.

"I'm not your handyman! Get someone who's paid to do this kind of stuff to fix your stupid machine!" Ed complained, crossing his arms stubbornly.

"Are you telling me that you're disobeying a direct order from a superior officer?" Roy asked, lacing his fingers together and staring the younger man challengingly in his amber eyes. "Do I need to get you court marshaled for such a trivial thing?" Ed glared and opened his mouth to retort. Just as his assuredly scathing words that would have gotten him in some sort of trouble were about to leave his mouth, First Lieutenant Hawkeye stepped into the Colonel's office, standing stiffly at attention.

"Sir, there's something going on downtown, near the electric company," she reported. (A/N- Did they have electric companies back then:blinks: Sure they did, since they had to get their electricity somehow… Okay, question answered.) Roy looked at Ed as if to say, "Do you need any other reasons?" Ed simply glared and walked out.

He mumbled to himself the whole trip downtown, while Alphonse attempted to at least mildly douse his brother's anger. Al doubted much of his logic was getting through, however. In the end, he ended up simply listening, while Ed ranted about the Colonel, how dark the night was, and who would be stupid enough to try to dismantle a generator, anyway. When they finally reached the generator's location, Ed had practically talked himself hoarse and Al was basically deaf. They entered the dark electric company, (A/N- You'll have to forgive the way I refer to this stuff… I really know nothing about electricity or anything remotely relating to it… ''''') both were unaware of the three sets of eyes that were following them.

"See? I told you they'd send him."

"Stop gloating, we know you did. And if you don't stop bragging of your superiority, we're going to lose them."

"How can we lose them? This whole place is abandoned, and O'Chibi-san there speaks so loud, I could hear him from the other side of the city."

"Just shut up and follow them, Envy."

"Tch. Don't boss me around, Lust. I don't have to help you, you know."

"Then why do you?"

"…………… I dunno."

"I thought so. Now, move along." Just as they were about to take their first step, the third voice spoke up.

"Lust, I'm hungry." Envy sweatdropped and smacked his head, while Lust looked at him, considering his meal options.

"I don't know what to tell you, Gluttony."

"Go outside and catch yourself one of those pathetic idiots that's running around. I'm sure no one will see him…"

"Remember the last time you were sure of something?" Silence. "Okay. I'll go with him. You follow Fullmetal."

"But—"

"If he wants to fight, fight him, Envy."

"I don't like fighting!" Envy whined. "It hurts!"

"Not if you don't let him hit you, it doesn't." Lust sighed and walked out of the building with Gluttony, leaving no time for Envy to retaliate. Envy stood and watched them go, then slumped his shoulders and followed Ed. He finally caught up with the two in the generator room (A/N- That is what it's called, right?) and saw Ed studying the large machine.

"It looks like someone attacked it with a knife."

"But, brother, no one could do that. The metal's too thick, plus they'd get electrocuted, right?"

"You would think… So should we be looking for a body instead of a criminal? Is this even a criminal offense? I'd congratulate this guy, this is the most stress I've seen the Colonel under in one night."

"Brother…" Ed sighed.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I can't help it if the guy's got it coming to him…" More rummaging through the wreckage. "Hey, Al, do you see anything missing?" Al walked up and took a look through the mess.

"Nothing. Maybe it's just collateral damage? I mean, you know, since this isn't really fit to be called anything but scrap metal now…"

"Good point. Shall we just tell them that it was unsalvageable?"

"You aren't even going to make an attempt to fix it, Ed?"

While they argued, Envy watched. And watched. And watched. And became bored. So, he decided to mess with the two for a bit. He threw a nearby rock and watched as it landed solidly on the backside of Edward's head.

"OW! Hey, what the hell!" He looked around the large room, looking for the source of the stone. He could find none."

"What happened, Ed?"

"I just got hit by a freaking rock! It flew outta nowhere!"

Envy snickered and threw another one. This one missed its target, though not by much, and clattered to the floor behind the two brothers. Ed jumped, turned, and walked to the rock. Envy took that time to sneak out from behind the door he was hiding behind and walk up behind Ed. He leaned over until his lips were right next to the smaller boy's ear and whispered one word.

"Boo."

Ed nearly jumped out of his skin. In a split second, his arm was transmuted and he slashed at the now empty air behind him where Envy once stood. The homunculus now stood, laughing, on the wreckage of the generator.

"Hello, Hagane no Chibi-san. Have you missed me?"

¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+¦+

Yeah, okay, kinda boring for a first chapter… I'm just trying not to take thing too fast… You know, because it's more fun it ya go from hate to love… Yesh… Erm… Wow. I really wish you guys would review, but I don't want you to take time out of your busy schedules… :Bambi eyes: But it would be awfully nice if you did. Only three seconds, just to tell me what I need to fix. Oh, by the way, flames are welcomed, but I'm only going to use them to further my hope to see Roy burn.

Until next time!
