Chapter 3: Taking flight
Back in the Forbidden Forest a figure looked upon the empty tomb, were the demon known as Envy once slept. He smiled showing off his sharp teeth. He had been waiting for this day to come.
"I think it's time for me to begin my little plan of revenge. I'll kill you for what you did to me all those centuries ago."
He traveled deeper into the tomb and discovered what looked like a piece of hair. It was hair, blond hair. He sniffed it and instantly recognized the scent.
"So, you're with the prince huh. This might pose more of a challenge. But I love challenges; it just makes thing more interesting. Not to mention I could just kill the prince for fun."
Back at the castle, Edward was sleeping peacefully in his bed. Well, sleeping peacefully until he heard something that woke him up. He heard is door open then close. The blond ignored it, thinking it was just one of the maids tiding up, not that there was much to clean up. But the maids usually knock. With that thought he shot up and looked around. Edward found that Envy had entered his room and was now sitting on his windowsill, staring at the magnificent moon.
"What are you doing in here?"
"I can't see the moon from the crappy room that you gave me."
"That's not my problem. Now get out!"
"No."
"I order you to get out!"
"You order me to get out? Please. Listen pipsqueak, you're not going to boss me around."
Edward twitched as once again Envy called him short. The blond got up from his comfy bed and walked over to Envy. His hand was just itching to punch the crap out of that smug little bastard.
"Don't call me short, now get the fuck out!"
"I already told you no."
The blond lost it and thrust his fist forward aiming for the sins face. But Envy caught it in mid-air. He pulled Edward into a hug.
'W-what the hell?'
For a moment the blond relaxed, and almost hugged Envy back. Once he had realized what he was doing, Edward pushed Envy away from him and fell back.
"W-what was that for you bastard!"
"I don't know. I just felt like it I guess."
"W-well don't do it again!"
"You liked it."
"I did not!"
"Don't lie. I felt you almost hug me back."
"S-shut up! I did not!"
"You can deny it as much as you want, but I know what I felt."
Edward growled, but Envy just sat back and ignored him. He had much better thing to do, like continue looking at the moon, and hum. It was a tune that he had heard long ago. He didn't know the words, but he knew what it sounded like. The blond just stared at him, perplexed.
"...how'd you get down there?"
"What?"
"The tomb, how did you get down there?"
"...I don't remember. It happened such a long time ago, that most of my memory of when I was awake is almost...gone. But I do remember that I did something terrible to end up there."
"...I'll let you stay here for the night. BUT only if you don't bother me, and you can't get in my bed either."
"Fine by me."
Envy still kept his gaze on the window. The blond got up and made his way back to bed. It was late and he really wasn't in the mood to argue with Envy at the moment.
"Oh and one more thing Chibi-chan."
Edward looked over his shoulder.
"What?"
"Sweet dreams."
Edward tried to suppress a growl. He got into bed and threw the blanket over his head. Envy was REALLY pissing him off at the moment.
'God damn bastard.'
It was early in the morning Envy and Ed where traveling up and cliff. The sin said he was going to show Edward how to fly. The blond didn't expect to be up THIS early climbing a stupid cliff so he could see if he could even fly. Well, it was early by Edward standards.
'This better be worth it.'
Once they had gotten to the top Envy let out a sigh of exhaustion. The cliff was a lot steeper then the sin had expected.
"Alright then, we'll start here."
"Why the hell did we have to climb that godforsaken cliff?"
"Look, do you wanna know how to fly or not?"
Edward stuck his tongue out and crossed his arms.
"I suggest you not do that again, unless you want me to cut it off."
The blond growled. He didn't like Envy, not one bit. His cocky attitude got to him. And that shit he pulled last night really wasn't earning him points with the blond. But he did find him a tiny, itsy bitsy, bit attractive. But ONLY a little! He was starting to regret releasing that bastard.
"Can we get this over with?"
"Hay, you're the on who was SO eager to get up here. So shut up and watch."
Envy closed his eyes for a moment. A couple of seconds later, a light emitted from his back and soon enough wings had sprouted. Edward was in aw. He had never seen anything like that in his life.
"Now it's your turn."
"What! I can't do that!"
"You can summon your scythe right?"
"Yeah."
"This is no different then that. Just close your eyes and visualize what you want."
Edward nodded. He closed his as like he was instructed to. And visualized himself having wings. He felt something warm on his back. When he opened his eye, he had his own pair of wings! He could have jumped for joy, if Envy wasn't standing near him.
"Alright, now its time to put them to use."
He walked over to the edge of the cliff and so did Edward. The sin pointed to something down blow.
"Do you see tiny little dot down there."
"No."
"Look closer."
While Edward looked for what ever Envy was talking about, the sin stepped back and stood behind the blond. He really wasn't pointing to anything; it was the only way he could think of to distract Edward so he could...kick him off the cliff. He trusted his foot back and kicked the blond square in the back.
"What the hell!"
"Start flapping."
Envy watched as Edward feel down the cliff. He wasn't worried if the blond hit the ground. Just as long as he didn't panic and lose his wings, them everything would be okay. But sure enough Edward did panic. In a flash, his wings had turned into a nothing but feather, and he was now plummeting toward the ground.
'Shit.'
Envy reacted instantly. He jumped down and tried his best to catch up with the blond. When he did, he grabbed his hand and safely brought him to the ground. Once on the ground Edward quickly pulled his and away from the sins. He had a huge blush on his face.
"You almost killed me!"
"I told you start flapping."
"Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I don't know how to!"
"Well it isn't that hard."
"God! That why I hate you so much!"
"Why? Because I treat you like a normal person?"
Edward opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it. Envy really didn't treat him like royalty. He treated him as if he were nothing more then just your average person.
"Why the hell would you do that?"
"Because that's all I see you as, a normal guy with privileges. And from the way you act around me, I would have to say that you like it."
Edward's blush increased. Why did this only happen around Envy?
"How about I make it up to you? You know for the whole, almost killing you thing."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Let's go drinking!"
"What! It WAY too early for that!"
"So, who cares? It's not like we have anything better to do."
"B-but, I've never had alcohol before!"
"Well, it looks like I'm just going to have to change that."
Envy took Edward by the hand and led him into town. The sin wanted to completely smashed, and hell why not bring Edward along for the ride.
What is not very known about demons, it that they can consume massive amounts of alcohol, without blacking out. Envy knew this very well and he was going to take full advantage of it. When they entered the bar, it wasn't that many people in there. Because no one in there right mind would get completely drunk at this time of the day. Both of them walked up to the front of the bar and took a seat.
"Barkeep, give us the strongest alcohol you've got and keep them coming!"
The barkeep gave both of them a good long stare, before he laughed.
"Yes! Now here's a man that know what he likes!"
"What can I say, I like to drink."
"I'll be right back with your drinks."
With that the Barkeep left. Envy turned to Edward with a smirk.
"Couldn't you have ordered something not as strong?"
"Aw come on! Why not make your first drinking experience the best!"
"But-"
"Here are your drinks boys! Just call me of you need a refill."
Edward stared at the tall glass alcohol that stood before him. He looked over and saw that Envy had already guzzled down half of his glass. He sighed; maybe this stuff wasn't that bad. Taking a little sip, the blond nearly choked. Envy wasn't kidding when he said it was strong.
"How can you drink this?"
"It an acquired taste. Come on, drink up!"
'I'll just have this one. Then I can let Envy have his fun while I go back home.'
Edward was now nearing his nineteenth drink. His plan had backfired. He was still sitting in the same bar, completely drunk.
"Barkeep bring me another!"
"Take it easy Chibi-chan. I didn't know you could hold that much alcohol."
"Why? Just 'cuz I'm royalty? 'Cuz I'm all high and mighty? Well screw you."
"I think we should get going."
"I'm not done yet! Dammit!"
"Yes you are, now come on."
Envy reached over and took Edward by the hand.
"Hay! I can stand by myself!"
Envy let go of the blond. He stumbled a little until he completely collapsed. The sin let out a sigh. He kneeled down and picked Edward up bridal style. He was surprised that he didn't fight back. Once out of the bar, Envy headed for the palace. It wasn't that far away, about twenty minutes.
"You know what? You feel really soft. You know that?"
"Uh, thank you?"
"And you have really pretty eyes too. Did you know that?"
"...are you hitting on me?"
"Yes! Yes I am!"
"You really are drunk, aren't you?"
"Competently!"
Envy started to laugh. This was highly amusing.
"And you know what else? You're my first friend."
"Really?"
"God, I am SO drunk right now!"
Envy decided to ignore that last comment about being his friend.
"I'm the demon prince! Worship me dammit!
"Okay, were almost home."
"I will rule the entire netherworld! And I'll pop a cap in anybody who messes with me!"
"Alright Mr. Tough guy, calm down."
"No. No. I will too! 'Cuz those damn teachers of mine don't teach me anything about fighting! All they do it teach me useless crap I'm never going to use."
"Well, maybe you might need it."
"Fuck that! Unless knowing how to summon an aeon is important, then I'm not leaning it!"
"Learning how to summon and aeon is important. And it's kinda cool."
"You think so?"
"Yup."
"Then I'll keep learning how to! But only if you help me, will you?"
"I could try."
"Good! I'm tired, so I'm going to take a nap."
Edward let his head rest against the sins chest as he drifter off to sleep. Envy let out a sigh. Edward was a...interesting character. Envy probable guessed that he just wanted attention, but not the royal kind. He wanted some one to sit next to him and just listen to what he had to say. And since the sin had nothing better to do, he would be the one to listen.
'It might not be too bad.'
A/N: Chapter 3 up and running! Review please! They make me happy!
