When Scar woke up the next morning Lust was already awake, staring back at him, and she was smiling.
"In a good mood?", he asked her.
"Very", Lust replied kissing him.
Scar pulled her closer to him and Lust wrapped her arms around his neck. Scars tongue licked Lust's lips and she parted them allowing his tongue entrance. That was how Winry found the two.
"Oh, sorry", the blonde said turning to go back up the stairs.
"No, it's ok, we were just waking up anyway", Scar said standing up.
Lust, reluctantly got out of bed. She followed her lover up the stairs and into the kitchen. The first thing that Scar noticed was that nobody was in the kitchen, and there was no breakfast.
"Ed and Pinako went out", Al said to the two, "they should be back soon".
"Can't anybody else fix breakfast?", Scar asked him.
Al shook his head, "I can't cook and according to Ed, Winry's cooking is terrible".
Lust chuckled and stood up. She started to get out pots and pans, and food. Al only watched in amazement as Lust cooked breakfast for them. "Where'd she learn to cook?", Al thought to himself. When Winry came out of the basement she gasped when she saw Lust and Scar having a meal together. "They look like a married couple", Winry thought to herself.
"There's plenty more", Scar said to her.
"I wasn't hungry", Winry said quickly. She didn't exactly trust their guests.
"Don't worry, it won't kill you", Lust said to her, "do you really think that I'd have the only person I care about eat poisoned food?".
In truth, Winry was starving. But she didn't trust either of them, but Scar was eating it and he was still alive so it had to be all right. Winry picked up a plate and put some food onto it.

When Ed and Pinako got back they walked into the house to find Scar, Lust, Winry, and Al, all having breakfast together and talking like they had known each other for years.
"What the hell?", Ed said looking around, "and where'd the food come from?"
"Lust made it", Winry said, "you should try it, it's good".
Ed looked at Lust in confusion, "you can cook?", he asked dumbstruck.
"Yes Ed, I can", Lust said to him, "you can stop being suspicious of us now".
Ed still didn't trust Lust, and certainly not Scar, but they seemed harmless. Ed, who hadn't eaten since last night, was hungry and didn't care if Lust had put all the poison in the world into the food.
If somebody had told Lust she would be doing this today she would've killed them. Who would've thought that she'd be in the house of her worst enemy, having breakfast with them and having a conversation? "I sure has hell didn't", Lust thought to herself has she took a bite out of her apple. It was has if they had never been enemies in the first place.
After breakfast Ed cornered Lust in the hallway.
"Is it true?", he asked her.
"Is what true?", Lust answered.
"What you told me about the military and the homunculus, is it true?".
"Yes, Ed, it's true", Lust answered. "Everything I told you, is true".
Ed hesitated before asking, "do you really feel emotion towards Scar?".
Lust half smiled. "I don't know what I feel towards him, but I know that I'll never leave him. Whatever fate has in store for us, I'm going to be right next to him through it all".
Scar had heard everything and smiled to himself. Has Lust came around the corner he grabbed and pulled her to him.
"I'll never leave you either", Scar said to her.
"You heard everything didn't you?", she asked him smiling.
"Yes, I did", Scar said closing the space between them.
Scar put his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to him has they kissed. Lust's ouroboros shined for a moment and Lust deepened the kiss. Lust heard herself moan into his mouth and felt her arms wrap around his neck.
"Ahem", a voice said from behind them.
The two turned around to see Al standing behind them. They quickly pulled apart and Lust's ouroboros stopped shining but no one noticed.
"What is it?", Lust asked him.
"The military's here", Al said, "you should hide in the basement until they leave".
At that moment there was a loud knocking at the door and Scar and Lust took that has their queue to get into the basement.
"Excuse me ma'am, we have orders to search every house", came the voice of a soldier.
"Go right ahead, but you won't find anything here", Pinako replied.
Scar held Lust in his arms. He could hear the sound of footsteps above him and he pulled Lust closer to him. At that moment, Ed's voice could be heard.
"What's going on here?", Ed asked.
"We're looking for Scar, that's all you need to know shorty".
Lust grinned when she heard Ed yell something back at him. Ed must've shown him his pocket watch because the soldier apologized to him. A few minutes later Ed came down into the basement.
"It's ok, you can come out now", he said to them.
"Thanks", Scar said nodding to Ed, "they won't be back will they?".
"I don't think so. I mean, if you were a state alchemist would you let a state alchemist killer hide in your house?", Ed replied.
--- --- ---
Lust sat on the riverbank, her gloves and boots off, feet in the water. She still hadn't told Scar about the dream she'd had. "What does it mean?", Lust thought to herself, "it's not a memory so what is it? I've never had dreams before". Lust looked at her hands, hands that had killed many. Yet now she was starting to feel remorse, and it scared her. It scared her that one man could make her feel human, but she still felt empty at the same time.
Lust thoughts drifted to Natasha, and the children she was taking care of. For a moment, Lust wished that she had never met Scar, but quickly pushed that thought out of her head.
"I promised myself I'd never leave him, and I'll keep that promise",Lust told herself.
"I never thought I'd hear you say something like that", Ed said from behind her.
"And I never thought that I'd be here of all places with my enemy", Lust replied.
Lust turned around to face Ed. They'd always been enemies yet they were after the same thing. Though they wanted it for different purposes, they both wanted the philosophers stone, and now, Lust didn't care about it anymore.
"Why do you want to become human so badly?", Ed asked him, "you can't die, you don't age, and you have powers that humans can only dream of. Why give it all up?".
"Do you really want to know?", Lust asked him.
Ed nodded his head.
"Fine, I'll tell you". Lust took a deep breath, and then began.
"When a homunculus is created, they have memories of their past life. Dante says that they're just the 'desires of the creator', but they are memories. At first they come constantly, but after awhile they start to go away. And after that, you feel empty. Just because a homunculus can't feel emotion doesn't mean that they don't feel the emptiness inside of them. Dante tells us that if we get the philosophers stone we can become human and rid ourselves of this, that's what drives us to become human".
"There's more to it isn't there?", Ed asked her.
"Much more", Lust said back to him, "I told myself that if I ever became human I'd kill myself. But then I met Scar and, well, you know the rest".
Ed half smiled at her. Now that he'd gotten to know Lust and Scar better he was more trusting of them.
"I wish you and Scar could be happy together", Ed said to her.
"Has long has Dante has the military under her control, that's not possible", Lust replied to him. "Pride will make sure that your fellow dogs of the military are after us until we die".
"That day might come sooner than you think", a voice said.
Lust whirled around to see Sloth emerging from the water.
"Sloth", Lust said surprised, "what are you doing here?".
Killa Pat: I might've said this already but damn, it sure feels like a long time since I updated. Anyway, I noticed that the last chapter got thirty or so hits and nobody reviewed! This really pisses me off, so could you please review the damn story!
