Chapter 7: Practice
Envy felt Edward push him against the bed. The sin had noticed that he was behaving rather oddly. He know that Edward would kill (Or at lest try to) him if he ever touched him like this. But that was the thing; Edward was the one that kissed him first! Parting from there kiss Edward whispered into Envy's ear.
"It's not your fault Nii-san."
Envy then felt the blonde go limp. The sin slid from underneath Edward and took a seat on the windowsill. What Edward had said had some how struck a cord with him. Deep down inside his heart was aching, but why? He couldn't remember anything. Edward reminded him of someone, someone that he was very close to. But did that mean that Edward resembled him? Was there something Envy needed to find out about that person? Maybe if he only knew the persons name them maybe he could remember everything.
'But how am I supposed to find out?'
Envy tilted his head to the side as he heard a groan come from Edward.
"W-what the hell is going on? H-how long have I been out?"
"…you don't remember anything that just happened?"
Edward shook his head.
"Well, you've been out for most of the day."
Edward let out an aggravated sigh.
"Are you sure you don't remember anything?"
"I already said no! All I remember was waking up in my bed and blacking out again!"
'That's strange.'
Envy didn't want to tell Edward about what had just happened.
"Get some sleep. It's almost morning."
"I don't take orders from you."
"I wasn't giving orders, I was giving advice. You should learn the difference between the two."
And with that, Envy got up and left. Edward growled for a moment. Why was Envy asking his so many questions? Better yet, why did he black out again? As he tried to recall what had happened, the same name kept replaying threw his head.
Pride
In the morning a knock came from Edward's door.
"Prince, it's time for you're violin practice."
He groaned and threw the blanket over his head, but alas the maid wouldn't go away. She knocked again.
"Prince-"
"I'm coming already!"
Edward almost had to throw himself out of bed just to get up.
"Oh and Prince, your friend is out here waiting for you."
"What the hell are talking about?"
"Mister Envy will be waiting out here for you Sir."
Edward let out a growl. Why the hell was he out there! He walked over and flung the door open. Envy was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Ready?"
"Go away!"
"Why? I have nothing better to do."
Edward positively detested violin practice. It was stupid and useless. Not to mention he hated his teacher. Ms. Clara annoyed the hell out of him. She would always tell him to practice a little more, and them maybe he would get better. The problem was simply that Edward didn't even care about the stupid instrument. As long as he sounded fine to himself he didn't give a damn. Envy just leaded against the wall and watched.
"Alright Prince, prentice is short today-"
"Just get to the point."
"You'll be playing the song Heartbreak."
Edward groaned. He HATED that song. He picked up the violin and placed it underneath his chin. Placing the bow at the strings, he began to play. Envy was enchanted by the sound. It was pleasant and soothing. It was strange though, how Edward could be so rough and rowdy, but now Envy could say that he could be quite graceful. He closed his eyes for a moment, visualizing a warm and peaceful meadow. Once he heard the music stop, he opened his eyes and saw that Edward had placed the violin down. He had his arms closed and a not to happy look on his face. Ms. Clara let out a sigh.
"Well, you need a little more practice."
"I beg to differ. He sounded fine to me."
"Well then you apparently don't know anything about music."
Envy smirked.
"That may be true, but it's not about how much music know-how I know. It's about the way he sounds."
Envy walked over and took Edward by the hand.
"The lesson isn't over yet!"
"It is now."
He closed the door behind him and headed back to Edward's room. Edward yanked his hand away from the sin.
"What the hell was that all about?"
"You should be happy I was sticking up for you."
"I didn't need you to!"
Envy just sighed and shook his head. Edward was very stubborn.
"Look, I'm just trying to be the good friend here."
"Friend? Friend! You're not my goddamn friend!"
Edward tried to hold back his outburst, so he slammed his fist against the wall, leaving a large dent and a few cracks.
"The reason I wanted you pull you out of the stupid class was to teach you something interesting. But now I'm thinking about changing my mind."
"What lame technique could you teach me?"
"Oh, just how to summon a very powerful aeon. But, it seems like you don't want to know."
"Bastard! If you don't tell me I'll kill you!"
"Fine, just cool down."
Envy and Edward were now in to courtyard. Edward wouldn't show it, but he was rather excited to finally be able to see an aeon. Envy stood in the middle of the area and took a deep breath.
"Are you just going to stand there?"
"I need to concentrate, so shut up."
"You can't tell me to-"
"Shut up!"
Edward growled. Envy just ignored him. He raised his thumb to his mouth and bit it, drawing blood. Once that was done he clapped his and together and slammed them against the ground. A red light emitted from the ground. Not too soon after the ground began to shake. A gapping hole opened up, fire and what looked like lava began spurting out of it. A strange creature shot out of the hole and landed behind Envy. It had flowing reddish orange hair along its back as wall as a few places on it's face and legs. Its horns were long and sharp and the same for it claws. Not to mention it was very muscular.
"Chibi-Chan I give you Ifrit. The strongest fire summon spirit ever."
Edward was at a loss for words.
"I-I'm suppose to learn how to summon that!"
"Not now, tomorrow maybe."
Envy turned to Ifrit and sigh.
"Sorry for summoning you just for show. Maybe tomorrow we'll get to have some fun."
It nodded and disappeared into a flaming ball.
That night Envy had perched himself in his usual spot, while Edward just stared at him.
"There's not even a moon out tonight. So why are you here?"
"We've had this conversation already Chibi-Chan."
Edward got out of bed and sat underneath the windowsill. Maybe the name that kept replaying in his head could help Envy. But why should he help him? That bastard kept calling him short! But on the other hand, if Envy found out about his past then that could mean he would leave. Edward couldn't pass up this chance. But deep down inside he didn't want him to go. Ever since Envy came around he hadn't been lonely anymore. If the information could help Envy then he would tell him. Envy was about to leave and had already gotten up, but Edward stopped him.
"Envy, does the name Pride mean anything to you."
Something inside Envy exploded. He fell to his knees as an excruciating painsuddenly struck his head. Edward rushed over and tried to see what the problem was.
"I-It hurts."
"Envy, want the hell's going on?"
Envy let out a loud groan of pain. Edward quickly grabbed the sin as he fell unconscious.
"Envy wake up! Envy!"
A/N: And that's all she wrote! Review please! If you do I'll give you a muffin!
