Title: Allotted Design.
Pairing: Envy and Ed.
Rating: NC-17.
AN: This chapter was co-written by my dearest Amanda, who comes up with the best ideas.
WARNING. Well… need I explain further?
Envy lie still beside Ed, attempting to calm and gain control over his erratic breathing.
"Edward?" He stared intently at a spot on the ceiling so to avoid meeting Ed's eyes. Ed's head lolled to the side, watching Envy, knowing full well what he was suggesting.
"I heard what you said." He smiled.
"Okay." Envy fell silent again, pushing himself off of the tousled sheets and began to gather his discarded clothing. "I wasn't too sure… since you didn't say anything to acknowledge it, and still called me Wrath. But I guess it's for the best; I don't need anyone else catching on." With his pants back on, he pulled his shirt over his head and lowered himself back down beside Ed's nude body.
Ed watched him, and questioned; "Catch on to what?" undeniably curious of Envy's past, though had never pressured him into sharing anything he wasn't comfortable with. "I want to know what happened before. You've always seemed so anxious around other people; why?"
"Ehh…" He swallowed uncomfortably, relaxing slightly as Ed's arms circled his neck, holding him close. Taking a deep breath, he began to tell his story; explaining in full detail of his troublesome past. He couldn't remember a time when he wasn't abused by his mother or the other kids at school, and then things went too far and he'd drunkenly provoked one of his classmates to rape him in the gym showers. Unable to do anything about it himself, his closest and only friend had murdered the boy, but Envy had been blamed after the police found out about the conflicts between the two.
"And I still don't know how Gluttony is doing… but when Dante banished me from the family home, Wrath, my brother, gave me his ticket to come here, knowing I had nowhere else to go." He finished with a relieved sigh, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear.
Ed didn't reply for a moment, mulling over all the fresh information he'd learnt from Envy. He'd long expected that Envy hadn't had it easy in the past, but not to this extent. He moved closer, burying his face in Envy's hair. "I can't imagine how you feel, but I want you to know Envy," He happily used his real name for the first time to emphasize his point. "that I really do deeply care for you, and would never purposely hurt you."
Envy smiled slowly, clinging desperately to Ed for support.
"Thank you, Edward… really, thank you. I was so afraid you'd think me some kind of freak and throw me away." He stole a quick kiss and then rose from the bed. "C'mon, let's get out of here." He retrieved Ed's clothes from where they still hung across the room.
Feeling mentally closer to Envy than he had at any time before, Ed quickly dressed himself, every so often sneaking Envy little glances.
"C'mon." He smiled; linking his arm through Envy's and led him from the hospital. "I would never treat you like that, so don't worry."
"I'm glad; 'cause if you did… I'd just have to put you in your place." He pinched Ed's butt jokingly, leading him to the main desk in the lobby to sigh him out.
"So we're heading back to the school now?" Envy slung an arm around Ed's shoulders as they stepped out into the high hung sun shining down over the city.
"Yeah. We only have one day left of the weekend, so we might as well make it the best we can." He winked suggestively, wrapping his arm around Envy's back.
Envy grinned, "I like the sounds of that." He changed his mind about lazily walking back to the school and eagerly waved down a passing taxi, pulling Ed into the back seat with him.
Within moments that seemed to pass as slow as sand they arrived to the familiar school; Ed eagerly led the way to their room, pulling Envy close behind.
Ed seemed to read Envy's mind when he'd motioned to their school provided sleeping pants that were used most often by the students on way to and from the showers.
Eagerly stripping free of their clothing, they both donned the baggy pants and hurried to the showers down the hall. Luckily for them most of the students were gone from the school, enjoying their Sunday, and so the showers were empty for the two to do as they pleased.
Being cautious, Envy bolted the door blocking the wide shower room from the bathroom stalls.
"C'mon, Envy." Ed called from his position already under the streaming water, pants left forgotten not far away. Envy obediently responded, struggling to kick his pants off as he crossed the room to the showers.
"You're so beautiful." Envy murmured as he joined Ed under the warm water, immediately wrapping his arms around the waist of the shorter boy and holding their responding bodies close.
Hands roamed freely over the newly familiar bodies of one another, groping heated flesh and memorizing every dip and curve they could reach. Ed was the first to reach between them and clasp his hand around Envy's eager cock, while sneaking his other hand up his chest to latch around the side of his neck. Leaning upward, he trailed his lips lightly over Envy's smooth collarbone, over the crook of his neck and his Adam's apple, suckling the subtle skin to now leave his own mark.
"Envy?" He murmured, reaching up lithe fingers to pull Envy's face down, pressing a chaste kiss against his lips.
"Edward?"
"I want you now."
"Here?"
Ed nodded, backing himself up against the shower wall, pulling Envy with him. Wrapping his arms around his neck, he gracefully hopped up to wrap his legs around Envy's waist. Envy held Ed's thighs until he felt Ed had steadied himself, and then reached between them to stroke Ed to further hardness.
"We don't have lube." He murmured, lips grazing the bruised skin of Ed's neck.
"It's okay; just take it slowly." Ed pushed down against Envy to emphasize his point. Envy nodded, fully acknowledging Ed's request as he slowly pressed into his body.
Ed's face contorted in the obvious discomfort of the invasion into his body, but continued pressing down against Envy's movements until he sat fully impaled on Envy's hardened length.
Envy moaned, "You're so tight. God, I love it." He held tightly to one of Ed's thighs to steady them both, while resting the other, entwined with Ed's fingers, against the tiled wall beside Ed's head.
"Move; go now." Edward squeezed Envy's fingers tightly as he began to move, pulling partially from Ed's body and thrust back forward, creating a slow but steady pace until their sweat and his own pre-cum smoothed Ed's passage enough to keep him comfortable on the receiving end.
Burying his face against Ed's neck, Envy's shallow breathing seemed to echo that of Ed's, who whimpered pleasurably with each of Envy's thrusts against his prostate.
By time Envy could feel Ed reaching his peek, he'd left a map of bruises and bite marks over his neck and shoulder.
"Ohgodohgod." Ed arched his back away from the heated tiles behind him as Envy began to stroke his weeping member in time with his penetrating thrusts. AN: that goes out to Amanda.
The two didn't take notice to the door behind them rattling with someone's attempt to get inside, until the person called out for whoever was inside to open the door.
"Ignore him." Ed groaned unhappily when Envy froze all movements.
"No; he'll get keys to the room and get in. C'mon," He reluctantly pulled from Ed's pulsing body, and lowered him to the floor. "let's go back to the room." He wrapped a towel tightly around his waist so to hide his most obvious hard-on, and passed Ed another towel, then, unlocking the door and quickly apologizing to the boy on the other side, hurried for their room.
The towels were flung aside as soon as door was closed and locked behind them, and the two fell roughly onto the nearest bed. Envy nudged Ed into a hunched sitting position against the headboard, and pushed into his familiar passage until fully sheathed within the boy. Ed held onto Envy's shoulders and pushed himself away from the headboard long enough to sit on Envy's bent thighs, then fell back to lean against the cool wood.
"I'm so clo—close." Ed moaned helplessly, clinging to Envy's shoulders while his body was steadied by strong hands holding his hips as the sweet movements connecting the two intensified; quickening with frantic thrusts.
"Ohsweetjesuscunt." Envy moaned against Ed's hot neck as he felt the already tight muscles constricting around his pulsing cock until he spilt himself with one final thrust deep within Ed's body just as Ed came between them, spurting across his chest.
As the two bodies slowly separated, trembling with the aftershock of their orgasms, Ed and Envy fell together under the sheets of the bed, happy to now just hold each other.
"Open up, faggots!" Marcus's familiar voice accompanied by rattling of their doorknob was enough to wake the two from their hazy ecstasy. Once he'd taken the hint that they weren't going to open up for him, a note slid under the door and he could be heard walking off in the distance.
With a groan, Ed reluctantly detangled himself from Envy's long limbs and staggered over to the door, bending down to pick up the paper and then climbed back into the warmth under the blankets.
"Hmm…" He chewed his lip thoughtfully, reading over the note and then passed it to Envy to read.
All students of Mrs. Pactrony's Psychology class are to attend a mandatory, six-day field trip where they will study the social habits of society in a typical small town for three days, and the following three in another small town just months after a traumatic event. Each student will then be expected to write a 3,000 word essay comparing the interaction of the populations in each town, and have it in to Mrs. Pactrony within a week from returning to the school.
Your interaction with the populations, the notes you take, and your final essay will count towards 25 of your final mark for the class. Any refusal to partake in the allotted events will result in an immediate failure.
"I thought field trips only ever happened in elementary school." Envy set the paper on the cluttered bedside table, and rolled back over to hold Ed close.
"I guess not." Ed smiled, almost excited to be getting away from the school for that length of time, rather than just the two day weekends. "Well, the note said we're to leave early tomorrow morning, so I guess we should start getting packed now." Ed again detangled himself from Envy and began to redress. Reluctantly, Envy did the same, but only taking the time to don his typical, tight black pants before he jumped back onto Ed's bed, scattering the clothes he'd already neatly folded to pack.
"I don't wannnaa pack." Envy grabbed Ed's wrist and pulled him down onto the bed, stealing an affectionate kiss.
"Well," Ed laughed. "I'm afraid you'll need clean clothes during the trip, but because I'm such a nice guy, I'll pack some of your stuff in my suitcase."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early the following morning, as had been promised on the letter, a heavy knock on the door startled the two from sleep. "Get up, ladies!" Mrs. Pactrony's voice could be heard through the wall as she continued down the hall, knocking on the doors of all her students.
"Noo…" Envy groaned, holding Ed close when the boy tried to climb from the bed to prepare for the day.
"Envy; we have to get ready." Ed again attempted to pry himself from Envy's grasp.
"Noo… I'm sick. I'm sick and dying, and I need you close while I go." He wrapped both his arms and his legs around Ed's body. "They'll have to pry us apart."
Ed hugged him back, "We're both going. It'll be good to leave the school, now come on." He pulled Envy off the bed. Envy allowed his body to go limp, and he fell to the floor, clinging dramatically to Ed's legs.
"Don't make me gooo!"
Ed bent down, perching a hand under Envy's chin and lifting his head. "I'll make you a deal; if you get ready as quick as you can, I'll show you a good time once we get to the town." He grinned suggestively.
Following Ed's idea, Envy jumped to his feet and eagerly dressed, washed, and finished packing his messenger bag with small items he thought may prove helpful on the trip.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ready quicker than they'd been anticipated to manage, Ed and Envy were the first on the bus provided for the trip, and so were able to get the wide, full-length seat at the back of the bus.
"So, Wrath," Ed cautiously began as other students began filing onto the bus. "Where do you think we're going?"
"Hopefully somewhere good."
After a slight delay when the storage compartment underneath the bus wouldn't latch, the group was able to begin their travel out of the city. As the bus pulled from the parking lot, Mrs. Pactrony rose from her seat at the front of the bus, and cleared her throat repeatedly until she'd gotten the attention of all the passengers.
"Well, ladies! As I'm sure you know after reading the letter I had delivered to each of your rooms, we're going to two different towns to study the behavior of the people. The first town we'll visit is just beginning to thrive again after a gruesome murder just a couple of months ago. The killer is still at large, but the police have determined he has moved on to another city, and so the town is deemed safe for us. It is…" She paused to check her notes. "Eston."
Having not paid attention to the start of her informative speech, Envy snapped back to attention at the mention of 'Eston'. Still and silent at first, struck with disbelief, he leapt from the seat and clawed his way over the bags scattered down the aisle, towards the front of the bus.
"Mrs. Pactrony! I—I can't go to Eston. I mean, I'm sick… I can't manage the bus ride there." He babbled, desperately trying to conjure an excuse to be left behind from the trip.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Culus, but we've already started so we can't go back to the school for you; besides, this is mandatory; I'm sure you don't want a failing mark. If you feel sick, open a window and breathe some fresh air. And if you're really just worried about the murder that happened recently in Eston, don't worry. We'll be quite safe."
Visibly paling, Envy slowly staggered back to his seat and collapsed beside Ed.
"Envy," Ed grabbed a hold of Envy's hand, worried by his sudden outburst. "What's wrong?"
"I… I can't go back there." Envy whimpered, most obviously shaken.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN: Just to clear up a few questions about how quickly their relationship is progressing… It's going as fast as it is for a reason, though I can't completely reveal it just yet. It'll all make sense within a few chapters. And until then, well… there is a strange, inexplicable force that seems to be pulling the two together.
And, of course, the fact that Envy has had so much trouble with relationships of any sort in the past, he's just really leeching on to Ed, who has been one of the first people he's been able to trust in years.
