Silence

Hmm.. Envy's 'song' ish thing.. Think of the 'Chia Pet' commercials that come on every Christmas.

Hmm.. Thanks a lot for the reviews! Eeee… They make me all fuzzy inside.

XD Ah ummm… And another voting thing.

Here it is….

Should there be a lemon?

Say yes or no in a review.

I've never written one before, so.. O.o

Ed awoke in a different room. He shot up from the couch he was laying on currently, looking around.

It looked like an office of some kind..

Had he been rescued from Envy? An odd feeling swept over him, his stomach tightening.

What was wrong..? Am I sick? He thought idly, placing his hand on his forehead. He was a little warm, but nothing dangerous.

Getting off the couch, he glanced across the room. He hadn't noticed the mounds of dust and mold growing in the room before.. He moved across the floorboards, them creaking with his every step.

He left the room, blinking. This place made no since.. Where was he?

He walked down the hallway a bit, staring at a poster board. Now he knew where he was.

"Hospital.." He said simply, light glaring down from a hole in the roof.

"Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Chibi!" Envy said in a sing-song voice, tackling Ed from one of the hallways.

The floor couldn't take the impact, and it broke underneath the two, Ed yelling something about 'personal space' and 'GET THE HELL OFF ME, ENVY!'.

Crashing to what seemed the second floor, or at least half of it, Ed stared wide-eyed at the ceiling for a few seconds, shock overtaking him.

"Edo?" Envy asked, lightly poking him.

Ed blinked a couple of times, then shoved Envy off of him.

"WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!" He screamed, waving his hands in the air to express his point.

Envy cocked his head, a sad expression over his face.

"Why would I kill my little alchemist?" He said with a grin.

"What do you mean, 'my'?" Ed said, backing up. "AND I'M NOT LITTLE!" He hissed.

Envy furrowed his brows.

"Your yelling it starting to give me a headache, chibi." He cupped his hands over his ears, making an odd face.

Ed stared at Envy with a disturbed expression.

"Don't do that." He said after a few minutes.

Envy stopped, putting his hands by his sides, looking at Ed's boots.

"Why aren't' we at the uh.. Cabin?" Ed asked.

Envy's eyes narrowed, but he didn't look up at Ed.

Ed figured out Envy wasn't going to say much else, so he walked over to an opening in the wall, staring out at the sky. Most of the hospital had been destroyed, and not just because of Ed and Envy's 'fall'.

He sat, staring off into space. Envy shuffled his feet on the floor, then walked over to Ed, sitting down as well.

"Do you miss your home?" Envy asked bluntly after a long moment of silence.

Ed thought. Hmm.. He didn't really miss Mustang. Who'd miss him, anyway? Riza.. Yeah, he missed her a little. The rest of the military..? Armstrong? His eyes widened and he shook his head. Definitely, he didn't miss him.

He missed Al, but..

Envy tugged on Ed's hair, blinking. "So?"

"Uhm.." Was all Ed said, before realizing his hair was still down.

He looked around awkwardly for a few seconds, then shot a glare at Envy.

"Where's my hair tie?" He asked.

"Oops." Envy said, grinning.

Ed crossed his arms, lying his head on his knee.

Envy stared, then tipped Ed over with his foot.

Ed muttered something, then stood up, moving from Envy.

"I was thinking of heading to central," Envy said with blank voice.

Ed turned to him, his mouth practically hitting the floor.

Envy turned to him, a funny looking grin on his face.

Ed raised his eye brow. What is he thinking..? He thought, a chill heading up his spine.

"But because of my kindness," He said, the smirk not leaving his face. "You've got to repay me.'

"Wait! You're the one that kidnapped me, starved me practically, tried to drown me, and you expect me to REPAY YOU!" He yelled, clutching his head.

"Yes." Envy said, in a serious voice for once.

"And you have to do whatever I want…" Envy said slyly.

Ed moved back closer against the wall, his eyes narrowed.

"Envy.." He started, thinking of a threat. Envy stood up. Okay.. He had one.

Envy got up and started walking towards Ed, the smirk turning into a sadistic look.

Ed lurched back from the wall, clapping his hands. A piece of metal that had been broken from the ceiling instantly turned to a knife.

He picked it up, still moving across the room.

Envy look unfazed by the knife, still walking closer.

"Stay away, alright?" Ed growled, continuing to walk towards the exit.

Envy laughed, his white teeth showing. "Your trying to run, huh?" In the blink of an eye, Envy lunged toward the door.

Ed clapped his hands again, placing them on the floor. Before Envy could move, spikes going through him. Ed felt guilty for a second, but the feeling was tossed aside as he began running through the hospital.

He wasn't even sure where he was, but.. Ed knew he needed to get out of here, and get back to Central. He skidded to a halt as he reached the outside of the hospital, a dreaded feeling draping itself upon him.

He'll know where to find me… He started walking, staring at the ground. Even if he got back to Central, he would try and kill him.. Or worse.. For the rest of his life..

And what was so great about Central, anyway? They probably weren't even looking for him..

Who would? He was useless. He hadn't been on a mission in so long, Roy and everyone were probably..

Glad to be ridden of him..

He covered his face with his hands, and dropped on his knees, only a couple of steps away from the hospital.

Envy should've just killed him.. Then he wouldn't feel like this. None of this would've happened..

"Chibi.." He heard an irritated voice behind him, but didn't acknowledge it.

"Ed?" The voice asked again, but by now he was too dizzy to notice. For a second, he felt light-headed, then saw the ground rushing to him.

"He fainted?" Envy asked, blinking. Well, this wasn't expected. He lifted Ed up, and put a hand on his forehead.

"Uhh.." Escaped his mouth, as he moved his hand away. Well, no wonder.

Ed was burning up.

"Nothing a hospital in Central can't take care of," He said simply, the sly look returning to his eyes.

"You can repay me after you're better."
