Sins vs Virtues

Greed growled lowly under his breath, scrutinizing the man, his counterpart, in front of him. He was approximately the same height as Greed, similarly built, strong and he looked like he would train regularly, but what absolutely annoyed the living daylights out of Greed was that the man constantly wore white. Not to mention his far too generous personality.

Figures, his counterpart was after all Charity. Ugh…out of all the bad things in life…

"Why the hell are ya grinning like that for?" Greed snarled, crossing his muscled arms over his chest, glaring darkly at Charity.

"Nothing at all Greed. Just look how happy everyone is, I do hope the apples I picked were to their liking," Charity smiled kindly, his blue eyes a stark contrast to Greed's violet, at times seemingly red, ones.

"Tch…yeah, yeah I get it you're a freaking saint and I'm a demon's spawn. Now give me that damn basket already!" Greed violently grabbed the basket, filled with apples, to claim it for himself. Charity's face fell slightly but he made no move to take it back, if Greed wanted it he could have it.

"So…ever went out on any dates?" Lust asked in a vain attempt to start a conversation. With Chastity of all virtues. This could be a long conversation.

"Excuse me? Dates? I'm sorry but I don't even have a boyfriend or a husband! Don't tell me you…you know….went on dates?" Chastity's voice was quiet, slightly shy.

Lust's grin was seductive and devilish as her namesake suggested, "Ohh, my dear Chastity, I've done far more than just gone out on dates," she winked, examining her long, deadly nails in amusement.

"H-how improper! You don't even wear a ring on your finger!" Chastity's eyes widened in horror, her hands cupping her mouth, before she ultimately fainted.

Lust sighed heavily, watching the younger woman in mild disgust, she was overdressed, the complete opposite of Lust. And she had that "goodie two shoes" aura about her.

Sloth watched with empty eyes as his partner Lust sighed in boredom, before he returned his attention to the energetic child in front of him. He didn't want to work…he just wanted to sleep…

Diligence…he was quite the opposite of Sloth himself…energetic, talkative, friendly, scrawny and rather short, still just a child. Oh and he loved doing work above all else. Sloth scratched his head.

"Hey Sloth! You wanna play with me? Come on! Don't be such a lazy bum!" the child laughed in joy, running and jumping around. When Diligence turned back around again, he fell to the floor face first when he saw Sloth leaning against a tree, fast asleep, drool running down the side of his mouth.

He sighed heavily, shaking his head before he spotted Den and started chasing her as the dog barked.

Gluttony couldn't cope with his….partner…no this wasn't his partner it was…his playmate? The virtue, his exact opposite, Temperance was a pain in the ass. Whenever Gluttony attempted to eat something, or someone Temperance would always interfere and tell him how he had no restraint.

Gluttony would absolutely agree, then try to swallow him but it was no use, Temperance was far stronger than Gluttony, as well as tall, thin and handsome, everything Gluttony wasn't. And Lust had commanded him not to eat the virtue so Gluttony didn't attempt it again. However, Lust would always attempt to flirt with Temperance, but surprisingly, Chastity was quite…protective of him. They were a couple, apparently, and that didn't sit well with Lust at all.

It wasn't that she was jealous, she just thought it was a good opportunity wasted. She could have so much fun with him…if only his self control wasn't as strong as Gluttony's hunger. Did she mention he was as loyal as a dog? She could only glare at Chastity how they were innocently holding hands, eating apples, talking about the world and shit like that.

Lust had to admit, the men on the other side, the virtues, were far more attractive than the ones among the Homunculi. Sloth…while he had a impressive physique, he was far too bulky for her taste and dim witted, Gluttony wasn't even a candidate as he was more a brother to her than anything else, one she had to babysit frequently…

Envy…they were still trying to figure out what gender it was, not to mention it looked like a brat. Wrath…well…that was a real man…in the body of Bradley…too bad he was willingly married. And Pride…he was a child, though she suspected if he would so choose he would be a handsome man…

And then there was Greed…oh how alone the vision of him, whether coated in his Ultimate Shield or not, sent shivers up and down her spine. Unfortunately, he hated her guts, he may not raise a hand on her directly, but he would make his intense hatred to her clear by covering himself in his shield whenever she drew closer to him, he would always wear such a menacing expression that even Lust felt a twinge of fear deep in her…heart? Did she have a heart? No, deep in her philosopher's stone, yeah, that sounded right.

Did she mention he and that ninja girl who kept gibbering shit with "her lord" was his love interest? She wasn't sure if they were together or not, but alone the looks they sent each-other when they thought no one was looking offered enough evidence. Not to mention Greed's strong protectiveness of her.

Great…either the handsome men were taken or simply not there…Lust could just rip out her stone and then it would be all over. She sighed heavily in frustration.

Until she saw Envy bickering with Kindness. Envy was, what a surprise, quite envois of Kindness, since she was kind to everyone and everyone adored her. Envy almost ripped its hair out in frustration, insulting her and barking at her to back off. However, unlike the other virtues, the girl had spunk.

She insulted Envy right back, telling him to shut up and that he should learn to accept things like they were; she had friends, he didn't.

She was the only one who called Envy a "he", it intrigued the other Homunculi as well, did she know something as a virtue that they didn't? Did she figure out Envy's true gender?

Envy's gender was one of the greatest mysteries in the world, even Edward seemed surprised and kept pointing to the skin-tight black outfit, which made Envy flush bright red and accuse him of being a sexist.

Greed did agree with the elder Elric a little bit…it wasn't his style to go prancing around in tights, not exactly anyway, he liked to give his boys freedom, what Envy did, or if he even had boys, didn't interest him.

The interaction between Pride and Humility was slightly more controlled than with the others, but it did have its downs. Humility appeared as a tall, dark haired handsome man in comparison to Pride, who retained his child-like persona of Selim, the son of Bradley.

Unlike Pride, Humility only praised himself when necessary, not going overboard, merely stating the truth. He also generously praised others but not in a "trying-too-hard-way" rather in a kind, genuine way which even made Edward like him.

When Humility praised Edward for his strength after he had a sparring season with Greed, the Elric couldn't help but grin bashfully and scratch his head, stating how cool Humility was and that he liked him already.

Pride hadn't taken kindly to that, not at all in fact.

He had scoffed, tried to beat Humility up, send him flying, anything.

Humility loved teasing Pride to no end, which in turn only resulted in Pride's violent outbursts of rage. Greed had to intervene at one point to physically keep Pride away from Humility, the virtue could have handled himself but Pride had been particularly…angry.

Because of something Humility had said, it was concerning something along the lines of Pride's pride.

It went along something like this, "Well, Pride, I'm surprised why you have the need to control such large shadows around you. I've heard you were once a full grown man, but then chose this child form instead. Could it be that you were simply uncomfortable because your bodily proportions weren't all accustomed to the body of a grown male?"

Yeah….Greed had to cover himself fully in the Ultimate Shield to prevent getting stabbed and slaughtered by Pride. The Homunculus was in the mood for killing, thirsting for Humility's blood. And Greed couldn't help but wonder if there was a twinge of truth in it, after all, why would Pride try to kill the virtue if it was just a lie?

As much as Greed would love to tease the Philosopher's Stone out of Pride, he was wise enough to keep his mouth shut about such things. He liked Humility, the guy was funny and had that teasing streak.

Until he said this, "Say Greed, perhaps you have a similar problem like Pride? I've heard you can convert carbon into its hardest form and cover your entire body with it. Though I can't help but wonder, do you use that ability as well in the bedroom when your most important part isn't in the right form of hardness you want it to be?"

All hell broke loose from then on. Greed had turned his whole body in his ultimate shield and immediately lunged at the virtue, repeatedly tearing him to shreds, only for them to regenerate just like his fellow Homunculi.

Hours passed until the seven virtues and their counterparts sat far away from each-other, sulking angrily like children.

Ed shook his head, Winry next to him who tried to analyze the situation.

Well, they had far more on their hands now that the seven virtues showed up. While the Homunculi were "evil" the virtues, though kind and on the "good" side, also had their flaws.

"Who do you like more?" Ed whispered to his wife quietly, to not alert the virtues and sins.

"From the virtues or Homunculi?" she rose an eyebrow

"Both," they looked at each-other for a split second before they nodded and both answered,

"Greed,"

The greedy Homunculus may have caught on to what they were whispering about and only offered them a bright, devilish grin.

"Even though he's a greedy bastard,"

"He is Greed after all," Ed only nodded at his wife's words.

Weeeelll….I hope this was good, the idea just popped into my mind, oh and I didn't include Wrath in this because I wanted him to stay dead, if anyone wants me to include him here then just tell me! I will edit the one shot! Reviews are always welcome! Thanks for reading! BTW: Next one shot is about Al! :D
