Well just so you all know, I'm writing this after pulling an all nighter. Watch, I bet I have mad writing skillz when I'm running on no sleep…or caffeine.

Disclaimer: I forgot to put this in the last one so…I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist!

Guess what, everyone! Time to stop hating Greed is coming is this chapter. Yay!

Loathed wolf spirit:Yep, and now I'm updating again! I try to keep them in character, I'm glad it's working ). I try to write these as good as possible, also.I like how this one was written, though.Yay for all nighters! Well, I didn't write how Envy explains it.XD Everything is explained by Greed. What did you think he was gonna say, though?

FISHTaNK the Yaoi Fan:TheEnvy calling Greed father thing was supposed to confuse you XD. Glad I wrote it well enough to do that, and you'll understand everything after this chapter!

Shakespeare'sWorstNightmare:-laughs- ok ok!here's your update!

Last Chapter: "Envy you said if I helped you you'd tell me something. Now tell me!" I sigh and look at Ed and Al.

"Who else wants to know why me and Greed hate eachother?"

"I do!" They all reply at the same time.

Greed's POV

Greed paces around the dark alley, finally getting enough strength to stand up and walk.

"Don't touch my Ed ever again, father." Greed winces. "You…remember?" Envy waves his hand at Greed like he's the greater of the two. "No shit Sherlock."

Envy's words stung—no, haunted his father's homunculus. Greed had been 'living a lie' this whole time, convinced that all the homunculi thought they were brothers and sisters. Hell, he even thought they were until he started having episodes, so to speak, where he would see little scenes from his past and fall into a massive shaking fit where depression swept over him for no reason. The only thing that would calm him down was to see Envy. Easier said than done. Mind set on hiding the information he knew about his past, Greed would have to come up with crazy excuses why he was invading Envy's room and bugging the hell out of him. These excuses usually were along the lines of "I'm drunk off my ass" or "I had a nightmare!" (that made the green haired homunculus laugh), which weren't completely lies. Well, the drunk one was, but he did have nightmares too. But now that he knew Envy was onto him, now was as good a time as any to try to act fatherly. Another thing that's easier said than done. The risk needed to be taken though, and since he knew about the whole thing between Envy and Ed, he decided to start there. The plan was, that he would take a beating from Envy (he hadn't been too keen on this but Lust can be very persuasive), and while this was happening the others would capture Al, thus using him as bait to lure the other brother into their trap. What's funner than killing someone? Why, making one watch the other die and then get murdered himself, of course! But Greed had decided to make sure the plan was fool proof, by letting Envy in on half of the information, knowing he'd never leave Ed's side. Change of plans…now, he was going to help Envy hide the brothers until he could find a way to spare their lives. He himself thought this was pretty stupid, but oh well. It was getting boring as of late. (his life, that is.)

All of this thinking caused another flashback, and Greed's world suddenly turns black.

Flashback

"Daddy!" The golden hair blows slightly in the wind as the boy runs to hug his father. Equally golden eyes as his hair gaze up into dark brown ones. "Hello son." A hand reaches down and a finger wraps itself lovingly around a wavy string of blond hair. The child giggles, and a woman greets her newly returned husband.

The scenes never last long, but more strings of flashbacks occur, each at a slightly different time in the past. The last one causes Greed to double over in pain; feeling like someone was trying unsuccessfully to pull his heart out from his chest, with each tug causing more pain. It doesn't take him long to figure out why. The last one showed the events leading up to his child's death. Mercury poisoning, to be exact.

But, back to the problem with the Elric brothers. Greed was both surprised, and somewhat relieved by how protective Envy is being of Ed. 'And to think they only met not that long ago…You just wait Envy. You're really going to hate the bitch known as fate.'

The question is: how was he going to get Envy to trust him enough to allow his guidance? That, indeed, is a very good question.

Three pairs of wide eyes follow Envy's every movement in complete and utter shock. The eldest homunculus takes a much-needed breath, after explaining everything he knows about Greed being his father as quickly as he could. Even Wrath was shocked so much he was on the brink of tears. Envy couldn't help but chuckle at the humans reactions, which were much more amusing than Wraths normal poutiness. Ed and Al were staring wide-eyed, motionless and not blinking, mouth agape and tongues frantically searching for words.

"Ok, you guys can stop being shocked now before the looks on your faces get burnt into my brain and my sides cramp permanently." Envy's trademark smirk plasters itself on his face while the others gather themselves. Ed's the first to speak up.

"Wow…that's…" Envy cocks his head to the side, curious. It suddenly clicks that Envy hasn't told the brothers that much about his background, so this little bit is probably much to handle right now. He breathes out slowly and attempts to get up while saying "Well it doesn't change anything. He's still out to get us."

"But, Envy don't you think that since he knows you know he's your father that he might stop being mean?"

"Sorry kid, but I doubt it." He leans over to mess up Wrath's hair, noting to himself that he's starting to realize a fetish for hair.

"Well this sucks. What do we do now?" Mr. Obvious (Ed) says.

"We go to school like normal tomorrow."

"But doesn't that put us right where Greed wants us?"

"Nope. Not with me there."

"But that's only for the first half of the day!"

"Yeah, but I have every class with him."

Al looks like he's in his own little world, obviously knowing his optimistic personality would only aggravate everyone more. So he keeps quiet.

"So don't worry, chibis." Envy continues, and Al is snapped back to reality due to the yelling after Envy's last comment.

"DON'T CALL ME SHORT!"

"DON'T CALL ME CUTE!"(A/N I thought it'd be cute (ignore that.it sounds like a bad pun to me…)to give Wrath a pet peeve. He seems to me like the kinda person who would kill you in a heartbeat if you called him cute (even though he is))

Chuckling on Envy's part, and "STOP YELLING!" on Al's. Silence…

"I'm bored."

"Well, you're getting along fine after losing some red stones."

Greed shoots daggers at Dante with his eyes. Now was not the time to underestimate him. Especially since he wasn't feeling warm towards Dante at this moment. But, he knew he had lost enough red stones to weaken him. He needed to put on an act until Dante gave him more red stones.

(A/N I got some sleep before writing this next part. Sooo, was I right? Do I write better when extremely tired?)

"I am called the Ultimate Shield for a reason, ya know." Dante chuckles.

"I see. You lost more stones than you are letting on. Would you like some more?" Greed winces at her tone. The sarcasm in her voice is incredible, and this makes Greed uneasy. Some mind tricks are in order. He closes his eyes, ready for anything she has in store for him…

A few hours later, Envy's POV

Thinking sucks.

And so does the mind splitting headache you get afterwards.

Ed, Al, and Wrath are probably watching a movie or eating. They so kindly left me alone in Ed's room. Boredom really is a curse, it makes one think. But, I had more important stuff on my mind. Ed, how to get this whole mess situated and still be part of our little family, stuff like that. Time for some deep thinking (groan) for the second time today. Don't hurt myself? I'll try not to.

A picture of a smiling Ed pops itself into my head, making me smile (damn him). But, as fast as the smile appeared, I wipe it away. Don't want anyone to see, now do I?

Dante. What's her problem, anyways? Now that I know her motive behind killing the two, I'm even more confused than before I knew! Who cares if Ed recognizes Sloth? He hasn't met Pride yet, who is in disguise as the fuhrer. Of course, someone might put two and two together considering Sloth is his secretary, but Ed is too naïve to consider the fact that homunculi aren't allowed jobs in the military. Honestly. Sometimes I wish she'd just drop dead.

Maybe I'll just have to confront her myself.

By now I'm slowly drifting off to sleep, and don't notice when an exhausted Ed plops down next to me. Excuse the saying, but he was literally out when his head touched his pillow.

"So…Envy likes Ed?" I snap my head around so fast, it takes my vision a few seconds to focus. Wrath.

"…No I don't!"

"Yes you do!"

"Do you like your arms and legs connected to your body?" If Wrath knew I had a thing for Ed, (but then again, who doesn't know. I mean come on, this is a fanfic!) then the whole world will know too in 3…2…1…

"ENVY LIKES ED!" Instead of only screaming because of my threat, he adds that bit of information and smiles in accomplishment. I told you the whole world would know…

I nervously glance at Ed, who thankfully is sound asleep with a smile on his face. No…I won't…I…I smiled. Those things are contagious, I swear! Wrath takes this chance to humiliate me more, and pushes me as hard as he can almost successfully making me land right ontop of Ed. Good thing I'm a homunculus, because with my inhuman reflexes I put my hands out to break my fall. But, my luck is never good. Guess what? Yeah, one of my hands is pulling roughly on his hair.

"Wrath…" I nearly growl and slowly untangle myself for emphasis. I swear, if you didn't know any better you'd think my eyes were flashing a blood red. (A/N After reading this over, I noticed I put "I swear" in there twice and really close together. I can't think of what to put in their place, so the two "I swear"s are staying!)

A look of terror crosses his face, and he curses when he realizes how much smaller this house is than the rest of the homunculi's house. Nowhere near as much room to run. I smirk and rest against the door way, tapping my finger lightly on my bottom lip in thought (again…I really need to stop doing that).

"Hmmm…What should I do to Wrath?" I say more to myself than him.

"N-no. Anything but that, Envy!"

My smirk widens, and I slowly start to strut over to him watching his eyes widen with each step I take. Time to show him real brotherly love!

"Envy, please stop!" he puts his hands over his face in a last attempt to protect himself from my cruel punishment.

"Aw, I love you too Wrath!" I place a purposely wet, sloppy kiss on his cheek. Hey, I'm a homunculus! Even if I knew the meaning of incest, it wouldn't matter to me!

Many inaudible words come from his mouth, muffled by his equally as loud screams. But among his vocal protests, the most understandable ones were "Ew, Gross, pedophile, RAPE, nasty," and he continually beats at his cheek trying to get every last trace of me off of him. He even closes his eyes trying to rid the sight of me out of his mind. This just entertains me more. Now would be a perfect time to drop kick him, but what makes you think I'd be able to do such a horrible thing to my dear brother? Ok, now I just made myself laugh uncontrollably. Dante should really look into professional help for me. Or atleast a good blow to the head. Whatever works.

"How cute." Ed gets up off his bed, and starts walking towards us. My eyes widen as he's doing so. Does this mean… Wrath, you better hope it doesn't mean he heard you!

"Cute! I'm scarred for life!" Ed laughs, and replies, "Well maybe you shouldn't have stated something so obvious!" If I could have, I would've face faulted at that very moment. When it's said out loud, it sounds weird. It's almost like I'm in denial deep inside.

I laugh nervously and push my hair out of my eyes.

"Ed, I thought you were sleeping."

"I'm not that deep of a sleeper."

"Yes you are!" Al says suddenly, sounding far away because he's probably in the kitchen.

I slightly twist my hands as I move them up and out from my sides as if to say 'See! Even your brother agrees with me!'

"Well, obviously not if it woke me up." He smiles triumphantly. There's a staring contest between us, me looking angry and him looking innocent. Needless to say I hate losing.

Some tugs softly –but consistently- on my arm and I look down to see Wraths curious eyes looking up at mine.

"What's wrong?"

"Envy, if you were pretending to be Greed, what happened to the real one?" This causes me to grunt in fake confidence for myself.

"Who cares?"

"Envy, how can you talk about your own dad like that?" Al questions, only to get a warning "Al…" from Ed.

"I'll respect him when he gives me a reason to." What's that look on Ed's face? It almost reflects the feeling you get when you hear your own thoughts and feelings are shared with someone else.

I'll ask him about that later, right now I just want some of that amazing-smelling stuff Al is holding.

"What do you have?" I ask, and poke the box.

"Oh this? Just pocky."

"Ooooh what flavor?" I ask, wanting some even more now.

"Chocolate." (A/N I'm really craving chocolate pocky right now)

I must have started to pout in a begging way, because he adds "do you want some?"

"Yes" I sound way too eager, and suddenly remember the manners I should have, continuing with "please."

He smiles and wordlessly hands me a few sticks, then heads down the hall to a room I'm guessing is his bedroom. I hungrily devour them, and when I look up everyone is gone. Now is a good time to ask Ed my question, so I head to his room and walk in it after opening his door. "Ed" I utter just above a whisper, making him turn to face me. His hair moves more freely than usual, and if I wasn't so caught up with staring at him I would've figured out sooner it's because his hair is down. But, of course, why wouldn't it be? He is trying to go to sleep, after all. And now I'm babbling to myself.

"What?" he answers back softly.

"Can I ask you something?"

"You just did."

I glare at him. Right when I'm trying to be series, he has to go and be a smartass!

"Ok, ok. Yes, you can ask me something."

"It has to do with a topic of conversation earlier." He looks at me first dumbfounded, and then impatiently.

"One: you're scaring me with your smart talk and two: just get to your question already!"

I sit myself down on the edge of his bed, close to his stomach. How should I word this, I wonder? Might as well just come out with it. Hopefully he can handle how blunt I am…

"Your dad, a touchy subject isn't he?"

"I guess you could say so."

"Why?"

So, he tells me the whole story. His dad left, causing his mom to die of heartache. His dad brought her back, creating Sloth.(I'll never look at her the same.) I could tell he's been holding this back for awhile, because he gets over emotional. He even went as far as to throw himself into my arms (which didn't bother me) and then pull away after finishing that hard part of his story and realizing what he did.

"And October was the month this all happened in…" he finished, completely calmed down and resting his head against my shoulder.

"Hey, Edo?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we stop at my house on the way to school tomorrow?"

"…It isn't Friday yet?"

"Nope."

"I have to say this was probably the most eventful first week of school in my life…Yes, we can stop at your house tomorrow morning."

I chuckle softly, sleep starting to make itself more and more inviting. The morning is definitely going to be interesting…

Regular POV

"Hehe." Wrath chuckles, and pulls out a camera. "You can't tell me you don't like Ed now, Envy!" And with that, Wrath takes a (pretty good) picture of the two sleeping boys, holding eachother.

Ed's POV

The next morning, I awake to a surprisingly warm feeling. Not wanting to face the day quite yet, I bury my face in the source of the warmth: Envy's chest. A chuckle, and "Good morning, chibi-san!" harshly brings me back to reality. Sometime during our sleep, we must've slid down to a laying position because last I remember we were sitting up… Wait, he was sleeping in my bed with Wrath and Al in access to a few cameras? Well, Wrath is the one I'm worried about. I know Al will be happy as long as I'm happy. And right now, if you ignore the panic and the fact I'm frozen in place again, you could say I'm happy.

"I knew it."

Become even more frozen and panicked…

Wrath smirks from his place in the doorway to my room.

"What did you know, Wrath?" Envy asks, clearly bored and not caring what his brother says. His grip on me doesn't loosen, either. Cue: ignore Wrath time as he talks nonstop about something.

Although I must admit, last night was pretty important for both of us. I told him about my dad and let him hold me, and he managed to be comforting.

This was starting a lot sooner than I planned, though. But, little did I know that at Envy's house is a very good reason to finally start a relationship.

Hahahaha! Am I gonna leave it here? Maybe. Maybe not.

Walking to school, still Ed's POV (A/N I decided not to stop there…)

"Please?"

"No"

"Please?"

"No"

"Please."

Glare fiercely at a certain palm tree-looking homunculus (who's A LOT scarier than you).

"NO."

Resist the puppy dog eyes…

"Ed, please?"

I cross my arms, holding my hands out of Envy's grabbing range.

"No, Envy. I will not hold your hand."

He continues to pout, feigning a sudden interest in how close we are to their house.

"Are we there yet?"

"Aren't you a little too old to ask those kinda questions?" I smile slyly, and get a piercing glare in response.

10 minutes later of unnerving silence, Wrath loudly announces (to the whole world), "WE'RE HERE!"

We all let out a sigh of relief. It was oddly cold for this time of the year, and we all wanted out of it.

Envy opens the door to reveal Lust sitting impatiently on the couch. When she sees Envy her face turns from nervous, relieved, and then back to nervous.

"Lust, what's wrong?"

"Go look in your room."

Envy eyes her cautiously. "Why?" "Just go!" Lust sounds completely panicked now, her face shows the panic as well.

Envy decides to listen to her and heads up to his bedroom, where he finds Gluttony whimpering and peering into the room, which is slightly ajar. The smell of not-so-fresh blood is so strong; it almost gags you upon entering. That definitely isn't good.

All everyone (except Envy and Lust) can do is gasp when they see what the door is hiding. On the wall farthest from them in Dante, held up on a wall by a rod through her chest.(A/N Saslly the Stephs, this made me think of you right when I wrote it because you know someone named Dante!It made me feel bad too, I feel like I'm killing him!lol.next time you talk to him, tell him I'm sorry!) On the end of the rod is a note, and Envy pulls it off.

I'm sorry, son. I had to do it.

Two simple sentences.

Envy looks up at Dante's glazed lifeless eyes again, and can't help but smirk. I look at him confused, but I eventually figure out what he's thinking…

-gasp- Who killed Dante, why, and where'd they go? Read the next chapter to find out…I think everyone knows who did it, though.

Wow, that was short compared to my last chapters. And yet a lot happened...
