What developed from the accident in the night
Chapter Eleven
"Yes?" Envy asked when he opened the front door. When the doorbell rang Edward and Alphonse stayed out of sight but close enough to hear Envy. Envy eyed the man standing in front of him. He was taller than Envy and he had blond hair, almost the same shade as Edward's. His beard was cut neatly and he was wearing a brown long coat and under it he seemed to have an old suit. Envy wondered what he had in his suitcase.
"I'm looking for the Elric brothers. They're supposed to live here." Hohenheim said trying to look past Envy into the house. Then he eyed Envy through his glasses. "And who are you?" he asked.
"You don't need to know who I am." Envy stated irately. "I happen to live here." he stated.
"The Elric brothers are supposed to live here." Hohenheim stated stubbornly.
"Well they don't anymore. I live here." Envy stated back. He tried to be as convincing as he could.
"But the nameplate said…" Hohenheim started but Envy interrupted him.
"I haven't had the time change it yet." he said. "I only moved here yesterday."
"But…" Hohenheim started again. Envy was getting really irritated because of the man's persistence.
Edward was shivered next to Alphonse. They both hoped that Hohenheim would believe Envy and leave them alone. They listened as Envy talked to him. As they listened they realized that if they didn't actually live there they would have believed Envy. Alphonse held Edward's hand to comfort them both.
"Yo!" They heard someone say near the door. 'That's probably Envy's brother.' Edward thought. "Who's this?" the same person asked.
"Don't know." They heard Envy mutter. "You back from school already?" he asked.
"Couldn't bother going to history, so I came home." the stranger answered. It was a shame that they couldn't see what the expressions were on their faces.
"Do you happen to know where the Elric brothers moved?" Hohenheim interrupted their chatter.
"Why the hell would I know?" Envy asked angrily. 'Please leave already…' Edward thought.
"Then I apologize for bothering you. I'll leave now. And thank you for your help." Hohenheim said at the door.
Edward stood up from the chair he had been sitting on and stretched. They heard the front door being slammed shut. The sound of footsteps approached the kitchen. Envy stepped into the room and sighed.
"Well that went well…" he said and smiled to Edward. The blond ran to hug him.
"Thank you." Edward muttered into Envy's chest.
"You do realise that he won't leave this easily?" asked a voice from the kitchen door. Edward looked the boy who voiced the question. He was almost as tall as Envy and he had rather long black hair and same purple eyes as Envy. Now that he thought about it Lust, Sloth and Greed had the same eyes too. He wore a black school uniform which looked familiar to Edward.
"Yes, I do realise that. I was planning to make a call and sort things out." Envy stated bitterly.
"Of course you have. As always brother." the boy said and held out his hand. "Since my brother doesn't see the need to introduce me I'll do it myself. You can call me Wrath." he continued and shook Alphonse's hand. And then Edward's hand after he had let go of Envy. As Edward released him Envy left the room to make the call he had mentioned.
"I'm…" Alphonse started but Wrath interrupted him.
"Alphonse Elric." He said with a charming smile. "I know you. We go to the same school."
"We do?" Alphonse asked eyeing him.
"No wonder the uniform looks familiar…" Edward muttered to himself.
"Why don't I remember you?" Alphonse asked curiously.
"I tend to be unnoticeable. You probably haven't seen me at school." Wrath explained and then turned to look at Edward. "So you're the one who caught my brother."
"Well…" Wrath said looking at him and sighed. "I can say Envy couldn't have done any better."
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked bewildered.
"I have seen the people Envy used to sleep with and I can say you have the best looks." he said winking to the blond.
"Are you flirting with me?" Edward asked. Wrath just laughed at him.
"You see…I take after my brother quite a bit." he said.
Before Edward could say anything to that Envy strode back to the room. He had called to his manager, Melissa and asked her to see that someone would look into Hohenheim's past. It was certain that they would find something to get him arrested. And indeed the next morning the police came to arrest Hohenheim who had stayed close to the house in case Envy had been lying. Envy and Wrath had had to stay the night so he wouldn't suspect anything.
The detective Melissa had asked to look into Hohenheim's past had found rather many things to put him in jail. Of course Hohenheim would have to go to trial but they were certain he'd get convicted. Now they only had to wait. Edward looked a lot more relaxed after the police took his father away. Even Alphonse looked happier. Envy smiled pleased with himself since he had succeeded in helping his boyfriend.
As a celebration he asked if Edward would like to go to a movie the next day or something. They agreed to see each other out side the studio the next day after Envy got out of work. Envy and Wrath left since they didn't have any change of clothes with them and Edward and Alphonse were both smaller then them. And that night for the first time in many years Edward went to sleep without any worries.
The next day after noon Edward walked to the studio to wait for Envy. He decided to sit in the park and watch the clouds. It was peaceful till a familiar face blocked his view. 'Not him again…' Edward growled inwardly. "What do you want?" he asked.
"Don't be like that." Jean groaned. "I'm sorry, you know. For what happened when we were in school…" he said looking at his feet.
"Really now?" Edward asked coldly.
"Can I sit?" Jean asked and sat when Edward nodded slowly. "I know it's hard to forgive me for making that bet with Roy…But could you…Maybe try?" he asked looking at Edward hopefully. Edward sighed.
"Actually it's not really your fault. You did make a bet with him but he wasn't supposed to do it like he did, right?" Edward said quietly. "So what if we start over."
"Wha…" Jean looked confused.
"Hey! My name's Edward Elric. What's yours?" Edward said smiling to him. The other blond looked puzzled for a while but then smiled.
"I'm Jean Havoc. Nice to meet you." he said happily.
"So…What are you doing here, Jean?" Edward asked with a smile that told Jean that the bet was forgotten or at least he wouldn't be blamed for it anymore.
"I'm a producer and considering we're outside a filming studio, I wouldn't be too surprised." Jean laughed.
"You're a producer?" Edward asked doubtfully.
"You know I have money. Where else should I spend it?" Jean asked cheerfully. "This way I might get something back."
"So what movie are you putting your money into at the moment?" Edward asked politely. Starting a conversation with Jean was a good way to pass time.
"There's only one movie filmed in this studio at the moment." Jean stated smiling at Edward's confused look.
"The one Envy's in." Edward realised. "Why didn't he tell me about you?" he continued frowning.
"Envy probably doesn't know about me." Jean started. "You see, I've produced few of his movies and he's never really paid any attention to others outside his role."
"Now that I think about it I don't believe he has ever paid attention to others outside his family…That is until you came along." Jean stated thoughtfully and continued before Edward had the time to ask how he knew about that. "Rumours travel fast. Almost everyone inside the studio knows you two are together. Melissa has managed to keep your relationship out of the papers but in the Internet Envy's fans have already spread the news."
"…" Edward cursed under his breath. He didn't want any attention from the media, even less from Envy's fans. Who knows what they could come up with.
"Most of Envy's fans have taken it quite well. And after pictures of you and Envy leaked to the net there have been more people to support your relationship." Jean stated calmly.
"Really now…" Edward muttered. 'This is just great…' he sighed in his mind. 'Well I should have known where I was getting into when I started dating Envy…' Edward thought and sighed out loud.
"Well. Can't do nothing about it, can I?" Edward said quietly. "Wonder when Envy's coming?" he muttered.
"They should stop filming soon." Jean answered even though the question wasn't actually meant to anyone.
"Oh. That's good." Edward mumbled while his mind wondered somewhere else. He wished Envy would come soon because he felt something was wrong.
"Hey you!" someone shouted behind them. "The small blond." Edward gritted his teeth but turned to look at the shouter. The man was large at least compared to Edward. He had rather dark skin, red eyes and pale scar resembling an X over his face. He walked closer and Jean stood up.
"Maybe we should go wait inside." Jean said to Edward. The other blond stood up too but they didn't have a chance to get inside.
"You're the one dating Envy, aren't you?" the man said walking closer. Jean gripped Edward's hand and leaned closer.
"I think he's one of those who don't approve your relationship." he whispered and Edward nodded.
"What if I am?" Edward asked warily while backing closer to the building. He could feel Jean trying to step in front of him but Edward held him back. If the man decided to attack he could always try to block his attacks with the automail.
"I don't think you're good enough for him." the man snarled and then everything happened too fast. He pulled a baseball bat from behind his back and aimed at Edward. He didn't hit him though. Instead he hit Envy's left arm since he had jumped in front of Edward. A nasty crack was heard and then Envy swore loudly.
"What the hell do you think you're doing to my boyfriend?" Envy hissed once he managed to ignore the pain in his arm.
The man didn't answer. He was too shocked for what had happened. When he realised that he had just injured his idol he fled. Envy collapsed on his knees and Edward kneeled beside him immediately.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly. Envy shook his head.
"I think it's broken." he muttered and tried not to move his arm, which was rather impossible.
"Why the hell would you do that?" Edward said angrily. "I could have defended myself well enough." he pouted.
"I don't know." Envy shrugged and winced when pain shot through his arm. "I wasn't thinking. When I saw him attacking you I just acted on instinct." he muttered and Edward sighed. "You're not mad at me, are you?" Envy asked worriedly.
"Of course not." Edward sighed and kissed him lightly. "You saved me. Why would I be mad at my hero?" he asked jokingly. Envy laughed but gripped his injured arm when it hurt from the laughing.
Soon they were in a hospital and Envy had his arm in a cast. He lay on a hospital bed in a private room his manager had gotten for him. She had also insisted that he'd stay overnight at the hospital. Edward sat on a chair next to his bed and the blond was dozing off. He almost fell asleep but was woken up by Wrath and Alphonse as they rushed into the room.
Edward had called to Alphonse since he had decided to stay by Envy's side. And since Alphonse and Wrath had become fast friends Envy's younger brother had heard about it too. Though Envy hadn't wanted to call to any of his relatives. Alphonse had insisted that they would come to the hospital to see if Envy's was alright. And so here they were. Alphonse acted like mother hen over Envy even though he said he was alright now. He had already gotten something for the pain so it didn't even hurt anymore.
Eventually Edward managed to assure his brother that Envy was okay and in the end Wrath was able to drag him out of the hospital. Envy sighed relieved that they'd left. He just wanted some peace and quiet. Suddenly Edward took his hand. Envy looked at him worriedly.
"Are you alright Edo?" he asked getting a glare from the blond.
"I should be the one asking that from you." Edward muttered. "Now you're here because of me…" he mumbled.
"It was never your fault." Envy sighed. "It was my fault from the begin with…"
"That's not true." Edward interrupted.
"No. Edo it was my fault." Envy stated firmly brushing Edward's cheek with his healthy hand. "He attacked you because of me. So it was my fault."
"But…" Edward tried to disagree.
"Edo don't argue." Envy said pulling Edward closer for a brief kiss. "I'm just glad you're okay…"
"Envy…" Edward sighed and kissed him again.
"I'll be fine." Envy stated silently and fell back on the bed. "You should go home too, Edo." Envy sighed his head resting against the pillow and looking at the blond.
"I'll stay here to keep you company." Edward stated leaning back into the chair.
"You'll never get any sleep in that chair." Envy said seriously.
"It's fine…" Edward mumbled making Envy frown.
Edward closed his eyes to be able to think better. He wanted to make Envy feel better. 'But what can I do?' Edward wondered and then it dawned to him. Edward now knew what to do to make Envy feel better. Much better. As he stood up he wore a smirk that send shivers down Envy's spine. Envy could only wonder what Edward was thinking.
END OF CHAPTER ELEVEN
Disclaimer I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist
My deepest apologies it took so long to write this chapter. But here it is finally!
I didn't mean to take this long but I didn't really know too well what to write in this chapter. The only thing I knew for certain was that Envy needed to break his arm.
And then there were the matriculation exams. Even though I only had two it took a lot work to prepare for them… And I still have four more in March…
But now have time to write again. So I'll try to be faster next time. The next chapter will be easier to write and it shouldn't take too long…
I'm glad that there's only two chapters left…Not that I want to get this story finished quickly… It's just that I have too many ideas in my mind and want to get to write about them too.
'See' you soon. And please review.
Of course I also have to thank those who have already been kind enough to review. Bowes. Thank you!
