Envy
tossed the papers onto the table, annoyed. This was ridiculous,
especially the fact that he couldn't so much as decode the majority
of Hohenheim's illegible chickenscratch. All he could really gather
was that the idiot had been curious what would happen if he made
attempted to create a homonculus while all seven were embodied
physically. Of course he'd leave Envy with his mess...
The mess he
had to deal with right now was curled up next to him on the bed, her
damp-haired head resting on his leg as she slept. The bastard had
locked her in the room beside his when he left, and she'd been in
there for the three weeks since he'd done so. The room was
effectively demolished, the walls scratched and the furniture smashed
in her desperation. Envy didn't need the notes to tell him that she
was completely desolate when she was alone. He'd tried to leave for
only a moment to check on Pride, and she'd been awake like that,
trailing him out there and all the way back to his room, where she'd
fallen asleep again the instant she'd settled down. Getting her to
sleep the first time was nothing like the hassle Envy had to put up
with when he cleaned her up, though.
It was like washing a cat
with PMS. She was fine the first second, and the next she had soap in
her eyes and was kicking around like she was being killed. It was
more than tempting to just smash her over the head with something,
but he'd managed to get the grease out of her hair and the grime off
of the rest of her without killing the little monster. Of course,
that was one puzzling thing; She was anything but a monster.
Envy
sighed again, leaning back against the head of the bed and looking
down at the girl. "Blasphemy..." He said, trying it out. It
almost fit her, to be entirely honest, from her adorable eyes and
facial expressions to her demonic jewel-tone eyes. Suddenly Envy
paused, a smirk creeping over his face. The best way to get rid of
the kid for awhile...
"Blasphemy... Nii-san has a treat for
you..."
"N-
Nii-san..." Pride stammered breathlessly, caught off guard as
Envy's lips met his yet again.
"Ssshh-" Another kiss,
hands running over Pride's golden hair lustfully. "You know what
to do..."
"Y- Yes, Nii- Nii-san!" Pride moaned,
giving in to Envy's will as darkness fell.
The next
morning Blasphemy woke alone, the effects of whatever sleep medicine
Envy had given her wearing off slowly. The instant she realized she
was alone, she froze, nerves quivering and eyes wide. Alone, alone?
Daddy hadn't locked her up again, had he? She'd been good... Her
desperation came out in a cry, as she curled up on the bed.
"Daddy!"
Envy woke next to Pride, the younger homonculus
still sleeping as Envy extracted himself from his grip and went to
find the source of the sound. He was halfway there before he realized
why she was crying, putting a hand to his forehead and gritting his
teeth impatiently. He'd forgotten about her completely...
In what
had once been her room, he found a stuffed cat, made of messy
stitching and multiple fabrics, all shades of red and black. Sitting
on the bed beside Blasphemy, he pulled her up, settling her against
him as she clung to him. Envy managed to keep his temper, holding the
ragdoll out to her. "Look, I found this to keep you company when
Nii-san can't be here."
The girl stared at it before grabbing
it, crushing it into an embrace while still pressed against Envy.
"Stitches..." She muttered, mouth buried in the cat's
head.
"Hm?" Envy raised an eyebrow, not quite able to
hear what she had said.
"Stitches, my kitty..."
