What developed from the accident in the night
Chapter Seven
Edward was hesitating. He was now standing in front of the address Envy gave him and he didn't know if he should go inside. After work he had slept for a few hours so he'd be able to stay awake on their date. It would be quite embarrassing to fall asleep. Choosing what to wear wasn't a big problem. After what happened with Roy the insides of his wardrobe had changed. Nowadays mostly all his clothes were black. Mainly all the clothes with other colours had been bought by Alphonse.
So Edward had ended up wearing black leather pants. They were like a new skin on him. He had seen how Envy looked at him when he wore his looser leather pants. For some reason - still unknown to him - Edward had liked the way Envy had looked at him. He wore a simple black shirt and a red button-up shirt opened on it.
"Hey kid!" someone interrupted his thoughts. This someone had managed to sneak up to him and was now towering over him. 'Damn, he's tall!' Edward thought and leaned back to look at the man. "Nobody's allowed here except those who are supposed to be here." the man stated.
"Very smart, Einstein…" Edward muttered. The man eyed him angrily.
"Meaning the filming group and I've met every one of them. And you're not one of them." he said. "Of course actors, actresses and their managers are allowed inside but since you're coming alone and not with a manager, I'd say you're neither."
"I was invited here by one of the actors." Edward simply stated. The man was about to say something but he was interrupted.
"Are you Edward? You have to be Edward, right?" a young woman yelled and ran to them.
"Yes…Yes. I'm Edward. But how…" Edward said. The woman interrupted him, too.
"Envy told me you were coming. I'm his manager, Melissa." She said smiling.
"He told it to you too." she said to the man.
"I don't recall…Wait! A blond with pretty eyes! That's him?" the man said surprised. "I thought he meant a woman…" he muttered.
"Follow me." Melissa said and headed towards the building. Edward walked after her.
"Where are you taking me?" Edward asked looking around.
"To Envy's dressing room." she replied without turning around. "He told me to get you once you arrived and guide you to his room."
"Is Envy already in his room?" Edward questioned her. 'How can she walk this fast? She's shorter than I am.' he thought. Melissa was indeed about five centimetres shorter than Edward. She had blue eyes and light brown hair. She was wearing a green dress.
"He should be. They stopped shooting for the day ten minutes ago." Melissa answered. She quickly turned around a corner and Edward almost walked past it. "It's right over here."
Suddenly Melissa stopped walking and Edward didn't have time to react. He bumped into her. "Why'd you stop?" he asked.
"This is Envy's dressing room." Melissa said pointing to her left. Edward turned to look at the door. There was Envy's name on it. "Just go in."
"You're leaving?" Edward asked when Melissa turned back to where they came.
"You don't need me there." She said smiling and walked away.
Edward hesitated again. Now that he was standing alone in front of the door he didn't know if he should go in or not. 'Damn it. I came all the way here!' he thought opening the door and stepped inside before he could change his mind. There was no-one at sight. 'He was supposed to be here, right?' Edward wondered.
"James, did you forget something? Again." Envy said walking out of the bathroom. "Oh…It's you, chibi-san!" he said sounding happier. He laughed when he saw Edward blushing and looking anywhere but him. Envy had walked out of the bathroom after a shower wearing only a towel which only covered enough not to reveal his private parts.
"Maybe I'll wait outside…" Edward said and ran out of the room. Envy laughed silently and shook his head at Edward's behaviour. 'There is no need to be embarrassed. We are both men and have basically the same parts. Maybe a little different from each other but still…' he thought and started to get dressed.
Outside the room Edward was trying to calm himself. 'This is stupid. I shouldn't be this embarrassed.' he thought. His blush was already settling down. Until Edward remembered that Envy had also seen him wearing only a towel. This made him blush again. 'I need to learn to control myself. I can't continue flushing like this.' Edward thought. He managed to completely settle down his blush just before Envy stepped out of the door.
"I just love it when you blush." Envy said smiling and taking hold of Edward's hand. While the blond fought against a new blush Envy led him out of the building. "You look cuter like that." Envy complemented him.
"Thanks…I guess…" Edward muttered.
"Besides. Your face can match your shirt." Envy joked. Edward frowned and hit him lightly.
"Stop that!" Edward said supposedly annoyed. He finally paid attention to what Envy was wearing. He had black, long shorts and a white button-up shirt with last few buttons undone. This was the first time Edward saw Envy with his long, green hair tied up. 'He looks good like that.' he thought. Edward decided to tell it to Envy since he had complemented him too. In a way. "You look good, too." he mumbled.
"Why thank you, chibi-san." Envy said smiling happily.
"Don't call me that!" Edward nearly snarled.
"Then what should I call you?" Envy asked curiously although he had already decided what to call Edward.
"Never considered using my name?" the blond asked raising an eyebrow.
"Hmmm…" Envy mumbled like he was thinking. "No. Can't do that. It's only for special occasions." he said.
"…" Edward stayed silent. He didn't know if Envy was teasing him or was he serious.
"I know!" Envy suddenly announced like he had just figured it out. "I'll just call you Edo." he said smiling slyly.
"What?" Edward asked confused. "How'd you come up that?" he continued but didn't get an answer from Envy.
"Where do you think we're going, Edo?" Envy asked suddenly.
"Eh? How should I know?" Edward questioned. "You're the one who asked me out. I assumed you'd decide where we would go."
"What if I haven't planned anything?"
"You can't be serious?" Edward asked starting to sound a little worried.
"Don't worry, Edo. I was sneaky and asked your brother if you'd ever gone there before. Surprisingly you haven't." Envy said pondering.
"So…Where are we going?"
"To an amusement park." Envy said cheerfully raising his arm to point at the park in front of them.
"Seriously?" Edward asked eyeing him. "Aren't those more for like kids?"
"Yes…Perhaps. But I'm sure you'll enjoy your time." Envy said confident.
"Oh yeah." Edward said after they had paid for their tickets. "I forgot to ask…"
"What?"
"Who's James?"
"James?" Envy asked.
"The one you mistook me for."
"Oh…He's one of the assistants." Envy said sniggered. "I think he has a crush on me. He came in three times when I was taking a shower claiming that he had forgotten to tell me something."
"…" Edward didn't say anything because he remembered how he himself saw Envy almost naked. And he was now fighting against his blushing.
"Where do you want to go first?" Envy asked. Though Edward didn't get to answer yet. While thinking Edward felt something he didn't like. Someone grabbed his ass.
"Hey!" He yelled angrily turning around but Envy was already twisting the arm of the man who did it.
"I have to allow people to see him since I can't tell them not to look or hide him anywhere." Envy growled loudly and people where turning to look at their direction. "He's eye candy to all but he's mine to touch. Mine only!" He snarled possessively. "Keep your dirty hands off him, okay!" Envy said sounding like the other man had no other option but to stay away.
Envy pulled the blond closer and held him there. He put his arm around Edward's waist to prevent people from doing it again. Then Envy dragged him away while people stared at him. They walked quite a while before Edward turned to look at Envy and raised his voice.
"You know I could have handled that on my own." he stated.
"Of course you would have." Envy said. "But somehow I don't think a beauty like you could have made the same impression that the angry me did. Do you think?"
"Well…I…" Edward was blushing because of the comment about him. "Well. You should have at least said it quieter."
"I should have?" Envy asked doubting.
"Yes! People within ten metres heard you!" Edward stated.
"But isn't that a good thing? Now more people know not to touch you, don't they?" Envy asked smiling victoriously.
"…I…" the blond didn't know what to say. "Whatever." he sighed.
"There's no use to argue with you, is there?" Edward asked.
"No. There isn't." Envy said smiling. "Now where'd you want to go?"
"I…I don't know…" Edward muttered.
"Then look around and what looks most interesting, we'll go there, okay?" Envy said smiling.
"…Okay…That one. What's it called?" Edward asked pointing it out.
"That's the roller coaster. Want to go there?" Envy asked. Edward nodded and they walked to it. After the ride Edward was glad that he had tied up his hair. Now his hair wasn't too messy. "Did you like it?" Envy said straightening up his own hair.
"That…That was…Quite something." Edward replied. Envy laughed.
"Where next?" he asked.
"I decided last time. You choose next." Edward said still looking around the park.
"Okay!" Envy said smiling and started dragging Edward somewhere.
"The haunted house?" Edward asked looking suspicious.
"Well it's basically made for kids so it's not really scary…" Envy muttered. "But if you're scared I can hold your hand." he joked.
"Hey!" Edward yelled little irritated but Envy just pulled him to the cart. Almost immediately it started moving.
When half of the ride was behind them a vampire doll fell from the ceiling and staid hanging over the cart. The doll made Edward jump and instinctively reach out to Envy's hand. This made Envy smile. Edward even forgot - on purpose - to let go of Envy's hand for the rest of the ride.
"I didn't think it would actually scare you…" Envy muttered surprised when got of the cart.
"I wasn't scared!" Edward tried to argue.
"Then who held my hand? A ghost maybe?" Envy joked.
"Fine…" Edward mumbled. "I know I don't need to be afraid of vampires since they don't exist…But does it matter if I'm afraid of them?" he asked.
"No. You can fear whatever you like…I just want to know…Why?" Envy said calmly.
"…Oh…You see…There was this boy where we lived before…At the time I was about four years old. It was Halloween…And he really frightened me dressed as a vampire." Edward muttered. "I guess I still fear them unconsciously."
"That's just cute." Envy laughed and hugged the blond.
They went to numerous other machines and rides, ate at the amusement park and Envy even tried one of the games where you throw a ball and try to knock over the cans. He won one of the prices. A large brown teddy bear which he gave to Edward. Of course. It was already getting dark but Envy still wanted to take Edward to one of the rides. To the Ferris wheel.
"I hope you're not afraid of heights too." Envy asked.
"Hey! Don't go and ruin your chances now with irritating me too much!" Edward stated and Envy turned to look at him.
"Does that mean you'd date me?" he asked.
"…Yes…" Edward muttered looking away.
"Are you two getting on or not?" one of the employees asked.
"Yeah!" Envy hollered. After the wheel had started moving Envy spoke again. "Did you have fun today?"
"…Yes. I enjoyed the time with you." the blond answered still looking away from.
"Edo. Look at me." Envy pleaded.
"What?" Edward asked turning to Envy. He was granted with a soft kiss on the lips. The kiss lasted long but it stayed sweet and gentle, not forceful like Roy's. When Envy pulled away Edward wanted to pull him back. But he didn't. Envy stayed still looking at the night sky smiling until they had to get off the Ferris wheel.
Envy walked Edward home since the amusement park was quite close to the house. He wished the blond 'good night', gave him a goodnight kiss and left. 'For some reason his possessiveness doesn't bother me." Edward thought closing the door. He went to his room and fell on the bed. Edward fell asleep within minutes. All night he kept dreaming about the kiss.

Here's the seventh chapter. Again it's not the best I could have written but it will have to do.
