Okay… so I'm finished with these… sorry for the bad Envy and Lust Intro…. Ah well….

Disclaimer: I own FullMetal Alchemist! I can make Edo start cross dressing and Aru turn into a girl by whim! And Edo also suddenly gets a growth spurt! Naw, I'm kidding, I don't own so no sue!

And pardon the weirdness… I was in a sappy mood . Heh Christmas dance -nods- thought don't get me wrong… nothing happened actually, it was real boring… Oh and I just realized that even if blonde is male it's still spelled this way… so… I'm not going back to fix my errors before though XD

Chapter 7: Enter Envy and Lust

Edward was cleaning up upstairs when the sound of Al's screaming met his ears. He paused for a moment then immediately ran for the stairs. Leaning over the railing he searched for the source of the problem.

" Alphonse wha-- oh lord," The blonde's yell turned into a squeak.

Ed twitched as honey-coloured eyes fell upon the three in the doorway. The one that immediately caught his attention was a tall man -though you could hardly tell he was such- with long shimmering emerald locks, amethyst eyes and a sleazy grin on his lips that greatly reminded Edward of the Cheshire cat. Cross-dresser, resembles a palm tree; one look says it all.

The second was a woman with full red lips, matching amethyst eyes, wavy raven curls… and did I mention overly large breasts? Not to mention her dress was way too revealing. Those far-too-red lips were spread in a devilish smile.

The smallest if the three the blonde supposed was Al's younger brother; one could definitely understand the teen's distress at seeing his little brother with such…. interesting characters.

Palm tree guy grinned," Is there something troubling you?" He asked in a far too pleasant tone.

"Ah! No! Whoa, look at the time! Kaa-san will be worried! Let's go Wrath!" And before you could say "terrified out of his wits" Al had dashed out the door with a startled Wrath in tow, clouds of dust rising in their wake.

"T-traitor!" The blond managed to yelp.

The two standing in the doorway turned their gazes towards the blond teen, a devious glint in those purple orbs. Can you say psychotic-crazy-predatory-scary-enough-to-make-a-regular-person-shit-their-pants-look?

Edward gulped. Uh oh…

KkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkKkK

Alphonse sighed, flopping down on his bed. What a long day… no matter how he talked at Wrath, the boy was just too naïve to understand exactly why being friends with people like that was a hazard to his health.

'And I sure aren't telling Kaa-san or Tou-san,' The teen sighed once more,' They'll just end up getting into a fight again.'

At ground, flipping over and burying his face in his pillow, the haze of sleep slowly encasing him.

The brownish-blond haired teen stepped into the café the next day, fully expecting to suffer Edward's wrath (A/N: XD Pun… I only just realized) for abandoning him the day before. Instead, all he got was the usual indifferent attitude.

'Jeez, what is it about this guy. If it were me, I'd be totally pissed off,' Al mused as he was taking an order.

With all these encounters in the past month, Alphonse could tell that Ed must've been different before.

A frown fixed itself on the boy's face,' I can understand his sadness at losing his mother but… dwelling in the past is unhealthy…'

Al looked up at the 17 year old across the room. There was something about him that the teen couldn't quite place. Almost as if he'd met him once before… (A/N: don't worry! It's not one of those weird, they're fated to be together fics… I just don't like relationships like that)

Alphonse shook his head. That was absurd! He'd never met this man one before in his life before their encounter a month ago. But even so… the boy just couldn't help but worry for the other's well-being.

'He needs to loosen up… open up to other people.'

And that's where the plots began. Through the rest of the day, schemes and plans ran through the teen's head. As night began to fall, Al had come up with an idea.

' I think… I want to get to know the real Edward, not just this cold façade he puts up. I want to melt the ice…'

He smiled at the thought.

Er… yes I know… it doesn't flow and is over cheesy. But at least it's not too bad… anyways, I wrote a parody for the fic. You guys really should read it! It's named "Café Elric: The Parody" Mmmhmmm… yes! School's out! WOOT! Anyways, I've been drawing all these Café Elric mini Doujins for random scenes that pop into my head… I might scan some and post them on DevArt… hm… anyways if I do, I'll tell you guys and put a link in my profile page… so… yes that's all… And read the parody!
