When Lust woke up the next morning and tried to get up she felt a pair of arms pull her back down onto the mattress.
"Going somewhere?", Scar asked nibbling on her ear.
Lust rolled over to face him. She put a gloved hand on his face and stared into his eyes.
"Have you ever thought about us?", Lust asked him.
"What do you mean?", Scar replied.
"I mean our future together. Have you ever thought about what would happen if we didn't have to worry about the military or Dante finding us?", Lust said back to him.
In truth, Scar hadn't thought about that much. He'd killed so many people that the state wouldn't let him get off easily. But still, after spending so much time with Lust, coming to love her, Scar wanted nothing more than to settle down and spend the rest of his days with her. Even if she couldn't have children he wanted them to be together for the rest of his life.
"No", Scar said to her, "I know that we'll always be together no matter what. So what's the point of worrying about our future?".
Lust thought about the dream she had had last night and decided not to tell him about it. Instead, she got out of his embrace and out of bed. Scar reluctantly followed her up the stairs and into the kitchen. Ed, was sitting at the table eating his breakfast.
"Ed, you might grow more if you drank your milk", Winry said to him.
"No way am I drinking cow piss", Ed said back to her.
"Yeah, well you know the pancakes you're eating? They have milk in them", Lust said making her presence known to him.
"How would you know they have cow piss in them?", Ed asked her suspiciously.
"Because, I know how to cook", Lust said sitting down across from him.
Ed looked at her with an expression of surprise on his face. "When did you learn to cook?".
"I didn't learn. I remembered", Lust replied to him.
Scar sat down next to Lust and took a sip from the coffee he had gotten. Scar still didn't trust these people, even if they were being nice to them. "He's a State Alchemist, he'll betray you to his fellow dogs of the military", Scar thought to himself.
"How long do you plan on staying here anyway?", Ed asked them.
"I don't know", Scar replied, "I just don't know".
Underneath the table Lust's hand had worked it's way into Scars and she squeezed his hand gently.

Scar stood outside looking at the landscape. Rizembol was a beautiful place, far away from the chaotic life of living in a city. Scar felt at peace here, and if the military came looking for him it would be unlikely that they'd bother to search the house of a State Alchemist.
"I think that's the first time I've seen you at peace", Lust said from behind him as she embraced him in a hug.
Scar wrapped his arms around her slender waist and rested his chin on her head.
"How long do you want to stay here?", Scar asked her, "you know I don't trust Fullmetal".
"I know. But we need them for now", Lust said to him.
Little did they know, Ed was watching them. And in their eyes he could see something he never thought he'd see from either of them: love. "But how can you love someone who doesn't have a soul? And how can someone without a soul love?", Ed thought to himself.
"They look happy together", Al said from behind Ed making him jump.
"What are you doing here?", Ed asked him.
"Same thing you are Brother", Al said to Ed.
Ed and Al watched as Scar and Lust, oblivious to the two watching them, showed displays of affection for each other. Scar kissed Lust who wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. After a few seconds Lust broke the kiss and said something to Scar, who looked straight in their direction.
"I think they figured out we were watching them", Al said as Scar made his way over to them followed by Lust.
"Care to explain why you were spying on us?", Scar said to Ed.
"I wasn't spying", Ed said pretending to not know what he was talking about.
Scar didn't press the issue. Instead, he simply walked past Ed towards the house. Ed turned to Lust a look of astonishment on his face.
"What's the deal? Normally if a guy touched you like that you'd slice him in half, what makes him so different?", Ed asked her.
Lust chuckled, "you were watching us weren't you? Figure it out for yourself", Lust said before following Scar into the house.
"You're a homunculus Lust, you can't ever love", Ed called to her.
Lust stopped, and turned to face him. "You don't know how hurtful you just were now, do you?", she said to him.
"You don't have any feelings for me to hurt", Ed said back to her.
Lust paused before saying, "if only that were true".

Lust found Scar back in the kitchen sitting at the table. Lust embraced him from behind and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"We're guests here, don't mess that up", she said to him.
Lust was about to walk away when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into Scars lap.
"You know if you wanted me in your lap you could've just asked", Lust said to him.
"I know. But this is much more fun", Scar said to her.
Lust wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against his chest. Scar kissed the top of her head and stroked her hair. It was strange. It was like holding Selena in his arms, she looked and sounded like her, but it wasn't. "Selena's dead", Scar told himself, "stop thinking about her".
"Do you wish I was Selena?", Lust asked him.
"No", Scar said, "I've accepted the fact that I can never bring her back to life. And besides, I have you now".
Lust smiled and closed her eyes. She loved this man, even if she wasn't supposed to she loved him, and she would never leave his side. "Becoming human doesn't matter to me, as long as I can be with him I'll be happy", Lust thought to herself contently.
Little did they know, Ed heard everything they had said. "They must've known each other in Lust's past life", he thought to himself. If Ed didn't know any better he would've thought that a young romantic couple had moved in with them. But that wasn't the case. Scar, a religious murderer, and Lust, soulless homunculi whose only desire was to become human, were in love.
"Sorry to interrupt, but you said you'd tell me whose been controlling the homunculi", Ed said to them.
"I did, didn't I", Lust said not bothering to look at him.
"You also said you'd tell me who killed Maes Hughes and why", Ed said putting his hands on the table.
"Calm down shorty, I'll tell you", Lust said standing up.
At the word short Ed's face turned bright red. "WHO YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT NOT EVEN A FLEA WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS CAN SEE!", he yelled.
Lust chuckled at this and smiled at him. "You'd think a State Alchemist would act more mature", she said to him.
"What're you talking about? I am acting mature!", Ed said still ticked about being called short.
"Could've fooled me", Lust replied.
Ed was about to reply but Lust stopped him.
"Don't bother. I'll tell you", Lust said to him.
Ed sat down across from Scar noticing the glare he was getting from the older man. Lust sat down next to Scar and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"What I'm going to tell you will make you an even bigger target for the homunculi", Lust began, "so use the information I give you wisely".
"Ok fine, I will", Ed said.

Dante was getting tired of Gluttony. No, not just tired of him, sick of him following her around everywhere, either begging for something to eat or asking where Lust was. It drove Dante crazy. She contemplated killing the miserable creature and putting him out of it's, and everybody else's misery, but Dante had other ideas.
"Gluttony", she said sternly, "come here".
The creature obeyed and waddled over to where Dante stood. Dante knelt down in front of Gluttony and grabbed his tongue. There was a flash of light as the ouroboros was removed from Gluttony's tongue, turning him into a mindless beast. Any shred of intelligence that Gluttony may have once possessed was gone, and he was now a ravenous beast whose only goal was to fulfill its never-ending hunger. But before Gluttony could attack her, Dante pulled out a skull and Gluttony froze, paralyzed.
"Now all I have to do is wait for Envy to get back, and send him out looking for Lust with Gluttony", Dante thought to herself as she left the room that Gluttony was in. "Lust you fool. You should've never doublecrossed me".
When Envy got back to the mansion Dante was waiting for him.
"Envy, how good to see you again", Dante said sarcastically to the shapeshifter.
"Yeah whatever", Envy said to her.
"Envy, I have something I want you to do for me", Dante said turning and leaving the room they were in.
Envy followed Dante to the room where she had locked Gluttony in and opened the door. Inside Gluttony was still there. His beady eyes staring at the two who had just entered, drool running from his mouth.
"What the hell happened to you?", Envy said to him.
"Don't get too close", Dante warned, "Gluttony isn't a homunculus anymore. He's merely a crazed animal".
"What do you want me to do with him?", Envy asked her.
"I want you to find Lust, and take it with you", Dante said motioning to Gluttony.
"What about Fullmetal?", Envy asked.
"I'll have Pride take care of it. I just want Lust dead, and her lover too", Dante snapped at him.
"Fine", Envy said turning to leave.
"Oh, one more thing Envy. If you find Pride, tell him to find me another body, young, and beautiful", Dante said.
Envy chuckled, "you'd think that after four hundred years, that you would've figured out how to use the philosophers stone to transfer yours soul into other bodies without yours rotting in the process" he said.
Little did they know, Sloth had heard every word that was said. "What? That means that Dante never wanted the stone to make us human! She just wants it so that she can live forever", Sloth thought to herself. Then she thought of Gluttony, and the plans that Dante had for Lust. And she knew right then, that she had to warn her.
Killa Pat: Watch out Lust! Gluttony's coming after your pretty ass. See, I kept some elements of the anime in the story. If you haven't seen the episode then I'll ruin it for you. Dante does exactly what she did to Gluttony in this story in the anime: Turns him into a mindless beast. And C.A.M.E.O., to answer your question. Dante will live. I love Dante, she's my favorite fucked up rotting corpse in the entire series, and she's going to live.
Dante: Thank you Pat, in all the other stories like this I end up dying.
Killa Pat: Don't worry you bitch you will
Dante: What was that?
Killa Pat: Nothing! I didn't say shit.
Dante: Are you sure? I could've sworn I heard something about me dying.
Killa Pat: It was probably just Greed stalking you or something. Trust me, would I pay you $100,000 to be in one of my fics, just so I could kill you?
Dante: No, you wouldn't pay me period. Well, it's been nice talking to you in your cell, call me about that interview.
Killa Pat: Don't worry, I will. –mutters under breath- Interview, yeah right.
Killa Pat: Anyway, review the story. And tell all your friends on about this story, because ScarxLust needs much more attention. And to all my writers out there, get your asses in front of a motherfuckin' computer, and write the best ScarxLust fic you can come up with.
