Silence

Thanks for so many reviews! Whoo..

Umm.. Hm. I was busy drawing on my DA account lately, and my sister randomly told me we'd be spending most of the day tomorrow at the mall.

Realizing I probably couldn't update tomorrow, I decided to do it tonight.

Thanks again loyal reviewers, here is the next chapter in the story..

Gluttony walked into the main room of Dante's mansion, gnawing on his fingers.

"Gluttony.." Dante purred, resting her head on her hand.

He looked up, his hand not leaving his mouth.

"Are you hungry?" She asked coyly.

He nodded, his dumb child like face growing into a smile.

"Wrath!" Dante called, and Wrath quickly made his way into the room, keeping a small distance between himself and Gluttony.

"Show him the cabin. I want nothing left of it, understand me? If Envy is there.." Her face darkened, a glint in her eyes.

Wrath nodded, Gluttony sat down, rumbling the mansion.

"If the Full metal alchemist happens to be there, too, bring him to me. UNHARMED." She said harshly, looking at Gluttony.

They nodded, exiting the room.

Envy poked the water with his fingers, staring at it.

Ed washed his hands, staring at Envy. "What are you doing?"

"It's been so long since I've last swam.. I don't remember how." Envy stated plainly.

Ed shrugged, tossing his red coat aside. "You don't have to get in, you know. Stay in the shallow or something."

"But Chibi.." Envy said, sighing.

Ed slipped off his boots, dipping his feet in. He laid down on the grassy bank, a lazy expression on his face.

Envy looked at him, bemusedly. "Does it feel that good?" He asked, putting his feet in and then moving them right back out.

"It's cold."

"So?" Ed said, getting up. He pulled the tie out of his hair, and it fell past his shoulders.

Envy stared at him.

"You look like a girl with your hair down."

"At least I don't look like a cross dressing palm tree.." Ed hissed, dunking his head in the water, pulling the egg and who knows what else out.

Envy glared, jumping on top of Ed and holding his head in the water.

"Watch your mouth, chibi!" He growled, and flinched as Ed dug his nails across his arm.

"HEY!" He said loudly, before Ed kicked him and they toppled into the river.

Ed swam over to the bank, coughing up water. "BASTARD! YOU COULD'VE DROWNED ME!" He screamed, turning to look for Envy.

"Huh..?" He muttered, looking for the sin.

Well, he'd said he couldn't swim, right?

"Envy..?" Ed called out before swimming to the middle of the river.

His eyes widened as he felt a hand grab his thigh. "AUGH!" He splashed back to the bank, breathing heavily.

Envy surfaced halfway from the water, shifting his eyes around.

"It's dark underwater." He said finally, going back under.

Ed finally caught his breath, then moved a few inches, running his fingers through his hair.

Envy surfaced again, on the other side of the bank.

"The waters kind of nice.." He hummed, floating on his back.

Ed rolled his eyes, getting out of the water and lying on the bank, sighing.

Envy finally crawled out of the water, and rolled right next to Ed.

Ed moved away, a glare on his face.

Envy looked at Ed confused, a frown forming on his face.

"Chibi.." He whimpered, wrapping his arms around Ed.

"Knock it off, Envy." Ed hissed, moving away.

Envy pouted.

"Why are you being so rude, shrimp?"

Ed's eye twitched at the word shrimp, but he kept his cool. "Just a few minutes ago, you tried to drown me! Now you want to.. Uhh.." He swallowed. "CUDDLE..?"

Envy played with one of his stray locks of green hair, looking up at Ed.

He grinned his usual sadistic grin, and Ed glared.

"I'm going back to the stupid cabin." Ed said finally, standing up.

Envy jumped to his feet, eyes narrowing. "No your not. You don't leave until I want to."

Ed looked at Envy, hatred slowly filling his eyes.

Envy tackled Ed, a smile tugging on his lips.

"Don't get so mad, chibi! Weren't you just dying to get out of the house?"

Ed gritted his teeth, looking away from Envy.

"Yes.." He mumbled after a second. He felt awkward with Envy on top of him like this. He started to push him off, when Envy rolled off of him.

Envy sighed happily, putting his hands underneath his head.

It was nice out here, Ed had to admit. The sun was just barely setting over the woods, rays of light gleaming through the leaves.

Ed turned and rolled on his stomach, resting his head in the crook of his arms. His eyes slowly closed, feeling the rays of the sun hug around him.

Envy stretched out, enjoying the silence of this place. No Dante yelling.. No Wrath bugging him.. No Gluttony making disgusting noises as he ate, just silence.

He could get used to living out here.

----

Too bad it wouldn't last long.

Gluttony ate through the remainder of the kitchen pantry, an annoyed look on his face. "Where's the rest of the food..?" He asked sadly, then turned his gaze to Wrath.

Wrath looked around for Ed, or Envy, anyone other than Gluttony.

Gluttony licked his lips, then charged at Wrath.

"STOP!" Wrath screamed, dodging Gluttony, who knocked one of the support beams of the cabin down.

One of the walls crashed to the ground, Gluttony hissing angrily as his face healed.

Wrath quickly left the cabin, followed Gluttony who had his teeth bared.

-----

Envy opened his eyes, noticing it was dark.

He was about to get up, when he felt someone lying right next to him.

Envy blinked a couple of times, realizing it was Ed.

Ed shivered violently in his sleep, and Envy remembered his clothes had never completely dried. He got up, popping his back, then picking Ed up.

Ed didn't seem to mind the sudden warmth clutching him. Envy grabbed Ed's coat, wrapping him in it, then started off toward the cabin.
