" The pain is so unbearable..feel it. Breathe it in. Do not forget it my friend. Whatever you do! Do not forget this pain that I inflict."
Envy cried " make it stop!"
"Why?"
"I hate it! I hate you! Why did you kidnap me? I finally found happiness! You took it away from me you psychotic bitch!" screamed Envy who was chained down to a bed. The house he was in was old and falling apart.
"That is life. That is what being human is about. You didn't know that before? Every time you killed someone, you cause the whole family to suffer. You enjoy it! You laughed and laughed and laughed! Humans are worthless, powerless beings! And Yet! Yet! Yet! Yet! You and your kind are on a mission to become what you so deeply detest! Now that is special! Do you hate yourself so much?
Of course you do! Every being is so envious...just like what you are named after. Every single breathing being envy's another. Humans, the beast and yes, even you perfect homunculi. Now tell me Envy, When you stayed with that blond brat; what did you feel?"
The green hair human growled and didn't answer. The woman with the mask walked over and backed hand his face.
"Answer me!"
Blood ran out of the corner of Envy's mouth. Tears welled up in his eyes as he fought back a scream.
"Stop acting brave. I know you are about to break." said the woman taking out a rather large knife.
Edward was pacing around the room as Alphonse treated Greed's wounds. "This is bad" the blond said. "Bad! He could be dead Al! Dead!"
"Brother! Don't think like that. I'm sure Envy is fine. Human or homunculus he is strong" Al said.
"We got to find him, but I don't even know where to start" Edward said falling onto the couch.
Greed got up " Who knows..." he was leaving.
"You bastard at least you could do is thank us!" Edward growled.
"Nah! See ya" Greed left.
The blond's face turned bright red as he fumed. "THATFUCKING BASTARD! WE SHOULD OF LEFT HIM TO DIE!!!!" Edward screamed.
Al sighed "Calm down brother. Lets think on where Envy could be right now. "
Edward did so and put his face in his hands. "This is all my fault..." he spoke up. "I should of protected him better. I need to find him. I got too..."
"We will...Don't worry. We will start looking tomorrow. Right now brother you need to rest" Alphonse said.
"How can I? Envy could be dead by now.." The blond said. Edward was shaking. Al laid him back against the couch.
" Just try..." he said.
Edward stared at his brother. " alright..." Edward closed his eyes and slowly drifted off asleep.
Envy was barely awake. Pain ran through body. The woman left him to die. His body was covered in cuts. He was weak. His wrists had been cut. Envy would be dead soon.
"This isn't fair...I never wanted to die" he rasped out. Envy shivered. It was so damn cold in the bed room of the abandon house he was in.
"Edward..." he whispered. His thoughts went on the blond. The way his body moved. The scent of his hair. It was so comforting. Envy closed his eyes.
There was a tapping noise coming from the hall. Tap Tap Tap. It sounded like foot steps. Was it the woman again? No the foot steps sounded to heavy to be a woman's. Envy open his eyes as the door opened.
Standing there was was one he never expected. Envy's eyes widen. "Van Hohenhiem of Light.." he rasped out.
"Envy?" asked the older blond. He walked over and noticed the chains, the cuts and then the bleeding wrists.
" What are you doing here?" Envy growled.
" I use this house. I was away for a little while." he explain. Using alchemy he broke the chains and closed up Envy's wrists.
Envy got up and wobbled a bit.
"You are not a homunculus any more, are you?" Hohenhiem asked.
" No...I'm not" Envy fell to the ground.
"How did this happen?" asked Hohenhiem.
"A long story! Which I'm not telling you! I need to go and find Edward!"
"Why? What do you want with my son? "
Envy blinked and blushed looking away "Don't worry...I'm not going to kill him."
Hohenhiem walked over and helped Envy up. "Take me to him."
" I don't think he wants to see you" Envy said frowning.
"Well, maybe, but I want too. I want to make sure he is doing well. Him and Alphonse"
"They are" Envy said as they began to walk.
"How do you know?"
" I have been living there with them." the green hair teen said.
" Why? " Hohenhiem asked blinking.
" Because I can" Envy said not wanting to tell Hohenheim that he was his son's lover. Awkward....
Edward couldn't sleep. He was too worried. So instead of sleeping, he was cleaning up the apartment. Fixing the broken things. Alphonse walked in.
"Brother...you should be sleeping."
"I tried Al, I tried...I can't. I keep thinking about him. I need to find him!" he rushed to the door and swung it open. His eyes widening .
"Envy!" he yelled.
The green hair teen broke free from Hohenhiem's grasp. He stumbled and collapsed into Edward's embrace.
"Envy! You're safe! " Edward was so happy.
"Dad?" asked Alphonse.
Edward frowned looking at Hohenhiem. " Al, take Envy in the bathroom and help him tend to his wounds."
Alphonse helped Envy up and into the bathroom.
"Come in" Edward said watching as Hohenhiem walked in. Shutting the door the blond looked at his father.
"Where did you find him?" Edward asked.
" In a abandon house, 30 miles south. In the country. " Hohenhiem explained. "Now, its my turn to ask the questions. Why is Envy here? "
Edward sat on the couch. " He got hurt, he was turned into a human, you know. So I took him in and took care of me. He wasn't welcome back with the other homunculi"
"You two seem very close" Hohenhiem said.
" Closer than you think. " Edward mumbled looking away blushing a bit.
" Are you and Envy ...are you lovers?" The blond with glasses asked darkly.
" That is none of your business!" Edward snapped.
"It is Edward! You are my son! "
" I hate you! Thank you for saving Envy and bringing him here! But I do what I want." Edward screamed.
"Do you know who Envy really is?" Hohenhiem asked calmly.
"I know who he was! He isn't your first son anymore. He never was. Envy was the sin you and your first wife committed almost four hundred years ago. Envy wasn't born like a human, he is human now and not related to you anymore. That I'm jealous of." Edward glared at his father.
"You should of kill him when you had the chance..." Hohenhiem spoke softly. " Even if he is human. He is still the same. I know he is being hunted. All the homunculi are. I don't want you in danger any longer. "
Before Edward could reply Envy kicked open the door to the bathroom and stormed out. He was shirtless and covered in cuts.
"That is enough out of you! " Envy growled. " You don't know me as well as you think. So what if I was created in the image of your son. Do you know why I chose this form? So I look nothing like you! I detest you so deeply. I'm not your son anymore. In fact I never was your son. You should leave! Edward doesn't want you here! Neither do I! Envy yelled feeling dizzy. He began to fall to the ground.
Edward pushed passed his father and caught Envy. He lowered him gently down so he was sitting on the floor. The green hair ex-homunculus leaned against Edward still feeling dizzy. The blond held him close and turned glaring up at his father.
"Just leave...please"
Hohenhiem sighed and turned. Alphonse stood there looking down at the floor.
"Good bye Dad" he spoke softly.
Hohenhiem glanced at Alphonse, then smiled "Good bye Alphonse, Good bye Edward......Envy" He left the apartment.
"I'm sorry Al" Edward spoke up. Al looked over at his brother. "I know you miss him. "
"Its okay..." Al said softly. " I'll go and fix the things in your room"
"Al.." Edward said softly as he watched the suit of armor walk in the other room.
Envy snuggled his head into Edward's chest.
"It seems even when I'm trying to be helpful...I seem to bring you more pain."
" No you don't!" Edward said firmly. "I never got along with that bastard! Its not you..."
The green hair teen looked " being human...its too hard Chibi...I feel these emotions...pain, guilt and regret.."
Edward stroked Envy's head gently. "We all feel that. Sometimes even more than happiness...that pain is what drives us to continue on living each day. Pain....is the proof that we are alive. Knowing that...knowing that you are alive is something that drives me...to live"
Envy chuckled a bit " that was so cheesy"
"Well, it got my point across..." Edward smirked then his face became serious. " Envy...tell me what happened to you...after Greed came. What happened?"
Envy sat up and got more comfortable. " She came through the windows suddenly. I felt a force shot me against the wall pinning me like I was a trapped wounded animal. Greed tried the fight her. She knocked him to the ground and took off her mask." Envy's eyes widen as he shuddered.
Edward wrapped a arm around him. Envy smiled a bit. Then he continued. " She took off the masked and a black void reached out and grabbed Greed. The same void in the gate. She is part of the gate...
Greed tried to fight it but only to fail. It seem to enter him through his nose and mouth. He screamed and screamed. It was a awful noise. Then it pulled out of him taking all the red stones. The woman took out a strange looking dagger. She sliced the skin were the tattoo was.
I tried to run. I made it outside in the snow. She found me there and dragged me away. I fought and fought until she knocked me out. When I awoke I was chained to a bed. Using the same knife she began to cut me all over. When she finished doing that. She told me it was time for me to die. Then she sliced my wrists open. She vanished and that is when Hohenhiem showed up. He closed the wounds on my wrists."
"I am so sorry.." Edward said. "I couldn't find you."
"Don't say sorry...you didn't know..." Envy smiled.
" So easy to forgive" Edward said. "I don't deserve that..."
"Shhh.." Envy whispered. "Stop talking..."
" Alright.." Edward said laying Envy back against the couch. He moved over him and kissed him gently. Envy return the kiss.
It was hot and wet. Edward warmed up Envy's cold body quickly. Edward moved the kiss down ward and licked Envy's chest. Moaning Envy closed his eyes. Edward reached up and ran his flesh hand across Envy's cheek gently. Then he moved to his hair and ran his fingers through the locks.
"Edward" Envy gasped panting a little. He lost his thought.
Edward pulled away and wrapped Envy up in a near by blanket. He wrapped his arms around him. " You are so cold...Don't worry I'll warm you up. Go on and sleep."
Envy stared at him for a moment looking very pale now. He nodded and slowly drifted asleep. Edward snuggled against him and fell asleep as well.
A hour passed and Alphonse walked out with a couple of blankets. He covered them both up. You both been through so much...this is the only time where you both can find peace. Alphonse thought. He sat by the window watching his brother and his lover sleep. The moon light danced all over the room that night as the snow began gently to fall.
