To Protect

Summary: BBI story on when Father dies of the gate wanting him and Dante. The sins are free with no clue on what to do exempt Pride who already has everything planned out.

Another pointless mission, Pride's and mines that is. This time it was to bury the Chibi's brother and superior. I chose the forest between a desert and a small farming town out of pure laziness meant to look as hard work. Through most of it, Pride just stood there for most of it while I buried them.

Thinking back, I never did tell him to do anything out of… something…

After I was done, I stood back smirking at the dead humans I killed. "Pride, we can go… Pride?" I barked out as the other seemingly disappeared. I looked in all direction no clue as to where he went or to look for him.

"Pride!" I yelled as loud as I could. Shit, father's going to kill me of he found out I lost pride. A leave broke in to little pieces to my left as I quickly turned to the on coming soft footsteps revealing Pride. He calmly walked past me without a glimpse (sp?) as myfreaked out face, walked to the graves with flowers in hands. Why was Pride bringing flowers for these insects called humans?

I stood back behind him as he put fire-grass flowers on the grave of Alponse Elric and a single red rose on the grave of Roy Mustang. He stood up, out of his daze, and looked up at me as nothing happened.

I hit him across the face for caring for them or out of pure Envy; giving him a bruise on his cheek. As revenge, he put his hand over mine on the right side of his face and closed his eyes. The bruise healed underneath my palm but, I knew it still had the feeling of my Anger and his guilt.

"I want to be free." He said slothful but firm as I ever heard him speak. We stayed for a while than left without a single question on Pride's mind but many on mine. Like what did he want to be free of? I think that answer lies with the younger Elric and the flame general.

Ch.5

Pride's Pain

Third point of view (I think…)

Pride walked through the abandoned house with a tray of food. He thought to himself about things no one could ever guess, exempt for maybe Envy. Envy left earlier to explore, meaning things to do to not get bored, like killing things.

He walked into the basement as bare as the rest of the house with the exemption of Lt. Jean Havoc chained to the opposing wall. Pride put the food down next to Havoc as he smiled happily at the food for a split second before jumping and eating it like an old horny guy with a pretty woman.

The sin sat down next to the eating machine staring at him. The sunflower eyes gazed over him in memories of Edward's past. The older blonde man finally looked up with food hanging from the mouth.

"Wht ae o aring at?" He slurred slopped more noodles down the endless stomach. Pride stared at the thing Envy just proved to be right about humanity before standing up and headed to the door. He stopped right at the top of the stairs of the door; hand close to the handle pausing for an unknown reason even to him.

"Do you… know anyone by...Roy Mustang and Alponse Elric?" he asked with his on either side of his shoulders, bangs tilled covering his eyes. Havoc looked over his in surprise then sadness covered his eyes.

"Yeah, they were missing for awhile with the Fuhrer King Bradley, but we, their friends, found them buried in the middle of the forest near Resembool. If Winry hadn't fallen though that hole than we never would have found them. And by some miracle they were alive and since than have been in comas." He said barely audible.

A silence took over the room for what seemed to be hours. Pride finally grasped the door knob and opened the door…

"Wait!" Havoc yelled, "How did Edward Elric die?" He asked quietly as Pride's eyes widened and fell to his red marked knees. He saw imagines of father's lab, how Edward and his broken family died, and of the time he was born. Wrapping his arms around his shoulders into his sun-kissed hair, his body turned into a way making it looks like he was trying to ball up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" He repeated over and over again in aguish as Havoc stared with pity and guilt in his heart. He started shaking finally curing into a ball to try and block out the images.

Envy finally came back with a bad feeling hanging around him and the house. He raced around the house trying to find Pride. He burst though the already opened door finds a depressed and pitiful sin on the floor.

"Pride… "He whispered softly to himself. Pride heard it and in a heartbeat of a human tackled the other in a hug. Envy petted his long hair down as Pride put his head on to his chest and went unconscious.

"…Sometimes your more troble than your worth." He told the knocked out sin as he picked him up, than walked over To Havoc who was surprised at the whole scene.

"What the fuck did you say to him?" Envy said trying hard not to kill the pain in his ass human. Havoc hesitated for a moment than he spoke.

"I asked him how Ed died." He monotone and kicked in the head by Envy as he headed to the door.

"Wait!" Havoc yelled as Envy just stopped.

"Do you have a lighter?" Then he promptly hit in the head again with a brick.
