Chapter 24
CRASH!!!
"Dammit Envy!!!"
Remember those sound effects stated in the previous chapter? Yeah…
Lust glances up from her magazine momentarily and cocks her head. "Sounds like that's your cue."
"Remind me why it's my job to deal with these tantrums?"
"Because Envy is our lovable little sparkplug asshole and you are his sex slave."
You snap shut the book you were reading and stand glaring at her. "Well, damn, don't sugar-coat it or anything." She shrugs as if she couldn't care less and you storm out of the library in a flurry of papers.
Of course, you can't stay angry very long, because you reach Envy's room to find him in his usual spot on the bed for sulking. You sigh and flop down next to him, tossing one arm across his heaving chest. He acts like he doesn't notice you're there, but the way his pounding heartbeat slowly stabilizes suggests otherwise and after a while he rolls over and drags you closer so that you're pinned tight against him. It only takes you a second to get used to the alien feeling of his cold skin and you let yourself be cuddled, even though it's still a bit awkward being this close to him and he's inadvertently crushing the air out of your lungs. He's a lot stronger than he looks.
"Envy, I'm scared."
He pulls away and frowns at you. You realize that he hasn't the faintest idea what you're going on about. "Of me?"
"No, stupid, I-"
You never get to finish because he slides his tongue into your mouth. Well, gosh, he seems really concerned….
And then…
