"Damn it! I didn't expect that bastard's lackeys to show up. They totally ruined our plans," Envy growled, pacing quickly around the dark alleyway.
"Plans?" Lust asked.
"Well, we'll have to get him later," Envy said, totally ignoring his partner's question. "Lure him here," he ordered.
"Why?"
"You'll see…you'll see." Envy chuckled.

Edward lie awake that night, flinching at every sound, and gasping at every thud. He was too scared to sleep, especially after Envy had declared he would be back. Eventually, though, sleep overpowered his small body and took him into a deep slumber. Edward's dreams were plagued by his memories of Roy—filled with all the "what ifs" and "if onlys".
He was awoken with a start the next morning by the ringing phone. Edward thrust the pillow over his head, releasing a muffled, "Go away." Apparently the phone was more persistent than Edward had hoped because it kept ringing. Ed groaned, angrily picking up the phone. "What do you want?" he growled.
"Sir," Hawkeye's voice said sternly, "I was wondering if you would accompany me to lunch?"
Ed stared blankly at the phone for a moment. "Uhhhh… Sure, I guess."
"Good. I'll send Havoc to pick you up in half an hour. I'll see you then."

Edward gaped at the phone for a second before slowly placing it back on the hook. "That was…. odd."

"So, why did you ask me here lieutenant?" Edward asked.
Hawkeye stared at the ground for a moment before casting her gaze upon Ed's golden eyes. "Edward, this goes back long before you and Roy got together."
"Okay… Then why did you invite me here?"
"Because…I think that you deserve to know that…Roy, he…"
"He what?" Ed inquired hopefully.
"He proposed… to me."
Edward stared in horror. 'What?' he thought. 'He… proposed to Hawkeye? Why didn't he tell me? We told each other everything!'
"Y-You're lying!" Ed yelled.
"What?" Hawkeye was shocked. She thought Ed would take it badly but this… "Edward, why would I lie about this?"
"I don't know! You tell me! Is this some sick joke? Do you think this is funny? Do you like to watch me suffer? Or maybe you're just jealous that Roy loved me more!"
Hawkeye stared in awe as Ed growled angrily at her, tears forming in his eyes. "Ed, don't you see? I turned him down. It didn't feel right. Though, now I'm wondering if that was the right choice. If I hadn't, you two would have never gotten together and you wouldn't be suffering right now! You don't deserve any more pain in your life!"
"Then why the hell did you tell me this!" Edward screeched.
"Because you deserved to know!"
"Well, I wish I didn't know! So just stay out of my business and my life!" Ed stood up quickly, grabbing his coat and making for the exit.
"Edward! Wait!" Hawkeye yelled. But he was already gone. Their little fight had attracted quite a bit of attention and she was asked to leave. She walked quietly out of the restaurant and looked solemnly at Havoc. "What can I say?" she murmured. "I tried."
Havoc wrapped his arm comfortingly around her shoulder. "At least you tried. I know if it were me, I wouldn't have had the guts to stand up to him."
Hawkeye smiled up at him, then playfully shoved him off. "Come on. Let's go find him before he gets himself hurt."
"All right," Havoc answered, opening the car door for her then getting in himself.

Edward panted as he stopped his sprinting for a breath. "I-I can't b-believe she'd say such an outrageous thing. It was all just a plan to hurt me!" he cried. "None of them actually care! All they ever cared about was Roy! They all only pretended to care about me because I was Roy's lap dog." Tears quickly slid down his face.
"What's wrong? Did they break your heart, too?"
Edward's head jerked up at the statement. 'That voice,' he thought.
There stood the homunculus he created not so long ago. The one who called himself Lust smirked evilly at Ed.
Ed stared heatedly at him, his hand stealthily sliding into his pocket for the engagement ring. "What do you want?" he questioned.
"Nothing. I just came to see you. Is that a crime?"
" No…But it should be."
Lust smirked. "By the way, don't even try to get that ring out. It won't affect me."
Ed smirked right back at him. "Really? I somehow think it will." Ed thrust his arm forward, releasing the ring from his grasp.
Lust's smirk spread even further as he easily caught the ring.
Ed gasped. 'Why didn't it work?'
The night before Edward had rummaged around the house until he found a small piece of Roy's hair on one of the guest room pillowcases. He never once cleaned that room or the things in it for the soul purpose that it was the only room that still carried Roy's scent. Once he had obtained the hair, he transmuted it under the diamond. Thus, it would stop the new homunculus he created dead in his tracks.
Edward gaped. "H-how are you still able to move?"
Lust smirked. "I don't know. You tell me." With that said Lust turned on his heel and ran down the street. Ed gawked a moment before bolting after him.
"Hey! Give me that back you bastard!"
Lust spun quickly, jogging backwards, and laughing, "If you want it back so much come take it!" He suddenly turned left, leading Edward into a dark alley.
Ed darted after him, completely oblivious to the danger that lurked in the darkness. As the shadows consumed him a large hand covered Edward's mouth, muffling his shocked squeak. As his eyes adjusted to the obscurity he realized he was staring face-to-face with the homunculus. In a flash of light Lust's dark hair turned into an emerald green as Envy took Lust's place holding the engagement ring between his fingers.
Edward stared. He didn't know whether to be angry or terrified out of his mind. Envy smirked triumphantly.
"Well, my little Edward, I can't believe you fell for that. You look so surprised. Didn't I tell you I'd be back for you?" Envy leaned forward, his lips brushing Ed's ear. "And this time, your dead fiancé's loyal dogs aren't here to save you."
Lust growled angrily, furrowing his sweat soaked brow. "Envy," he snarled.
Envy glanced at his companion questioningly. Taking notice of Lust's fatigue appearance, the realization hit him. "Oh, sorry about that Lust. I forgot I had this wretched thing," Envy said, tossing the engagement ring against the alley's back wall. Ed whimpered reaching for the ring. Envy grabbed Ed's braid, raising the boy's head. "There. Now there's nothing that's going to stop me." With a final tug at Ed's hair he dropped it carelessly.
Edward suddenly felt a strong force on his back. He glanced behind himself to see Lust pushing him toward the wall fiercely. Ed's eyes widened in fear, as he slammed his heels on the ground. Envy smirked at Ed's helpless struggling. "Now, now, pipsqueak. Calm down." Edward flailed around frantically, trying to wiggle free. Envy growled, stepping over the blonde, shoving Lust out of the way and slamming Ed against the hard wall. "Be still!" he barked, kicking Ed harshly in the side.
Envy's psychotic grin only widened as Ed cried out, squeezing his golden eyes shut. "Perfect!" Envy laughed. "I can finally take what's rightfully mine." He wrapped his hands around Ed's waist, undoing the boy's belt. "Too bad you're not a virgin, right, Ed?"
Ed's eyes snapped wide-open, tears threatening to fall. "No!" He fought violently against Envy's grasp. "No! I don't want it! Get off me, damn it!" Envy slid his hand stealthily down the front of Ed's pants. "Get—Ah!"
"It feels nice doesn't it, Ed?" Envy said, running his thumb over the head again. Ed moaned pitifully as he writhed against the wall. Ed felt Envy's hands tearing Ed's pants and tank top off, leaving the boy naked on the wall. Ed's yell was muffled by Envy wrapping the blonde's own shirt around Ed's mouth. Ed sobbed into the shirt, knowing what was coming. "Awww… Don't cry, pipsqueak," Envy said, using Ed's coat to restrain the alchemist's arms. The homunculus snatched Ed's chin in his hand, forcing Ed to look at him. "Besides, I know you'll enjoy it."
Envy turned his head to look at the staring Lust. "Hey, let's show this whore who's boss, huh?"
Lust gazed at the sobbing boy, a saddened look on his face before looking to his ally. "I…can't."
"What do you mean you can't!"
"I can't!"
Envy snarled angrily. "Fine! If you can't do it, then go sit over there. I won't let you get in the way of my prize now!"
Envy turned his recovered grin to Ed evilly, and shape-shifted his own clothes off, turning Ed around to face him. Ed's eyes darted down in fear at Envy's erect member. Ed squeezed his eyes shut, trying to escape inside his mind. Just as quickly, though, his eyes snapped back open and he released a muffled cry of distress as Envy entered him. The blonde let out unwanted moans as the homunculus thrust in and out of him roughly. Ed soon found his body betraying him and responding to the treatment.
Meanwhile, Lust sat to the side, images flashing before his eyes.
Roy ran his fingers through Ed's soft blonde hair as the boy slept. He smiled wearily, hugging Ed close, closing his dark eyes. "I love you, Edward."

"I'll never leave you alone, Edward. I love you so much… and that's why... I wanted to ask you…" Roy got down on one knee, " If you'll marry me?"
Edward nodded, tears running down his cheeks. "Yes. Of course I'll marry you Roy."
Roy smiled and placed the ring on his love's finger.

Roy shakily stared at the dead doctors on the blood- covered floor. Once the bodies were removed from the scene he stared at the stained floor. He suddenly drew his gun, pressing it again his own throat.

"Don't you want to… kill him?"
"The only person I loved was Roy, and you're defiantly not him."
Ed cried out, squeezing his golden eyes shut.
Ed smiled sweetly. "I love you…Roy."

"Hey!" Lust's head snapped up to look at Envy. "Get up. We have place to go," Envy said before stalking off into the night.
Lust looked over at the limp body on the ground. He stood and scooted over to investigate the form, only find Edward sobbing quietly to himself. Lust stood silently above the boy, watching. Ed looked up at him fearfully. "I'm sorry…" Lust said. "…Edward."
Ed stared as the homunculus turned and walked away.
