Chapter Two

Pride blinked and looked up from his book, the area of the mansion Envy and himself stayed was quiet. Too quiet.

That usually meant a few things.

The first; was that Envy was yet again planning some prank to get him… oh yes, a reaction from.

Second, try to seduce Pride. Pride didn't understand this, or the many looks and emotions Envy would send his way. Unknown to him, others would classify these looks as love.

Then the third, Envy had slipped away to cause chaos in the outside world. Especially chaos: for two humans.

Pride had heard the names Al and Mustang, two people who Envy detested.

It was the third that was most likely, since Envy had seemed agitated lately.

Pride went back to his book uncaring.

OoOoO

For what he was doing, Envy had to be careful not to be caught. He had decided to check out Central's Library first, that meant keeping away from Alchemists. As amusing as it would be for Mustang and the younger Elric to fight him, he's rather go for unobstructed research.

Otherwise he'd never get done.

He had quite a lot of places to check, and the last one on the list was his creator's private library. Father's punishment for being caught was something he'd rather avoid.

The green eyed sin sighed, and put another book away. It had looked promising too; this could take months of research.

Months, that would be boring.

But a boring puppet Pride was more boring, and annoying. He wanted his firecracker Fullmetal back; he'd been so fun to live with.

He still remembered Ed's reaction o height remarks, the teen could be heard for miles away. Now though, Pride just looked at him blankly and went back to whatever he had been doing.

For goodness sake, he got more reaction out of Gluttony then Pride.

A very scary thought.

Knowing Pride, he probably hadn't even noticed he was gone.

OoOoO

"Sir..." a voice said, Mustang looked up from his pile of paperwork. Paperwork: that had seemingly grown to monster size while recovering.

"What is it?" he grumbled, he'd rather be in bed or out searching for the still MIA Fullmetal.

"There's an intruder in the Central Library," a soldier said, at the moment Roy couldn't the man's name.

"And you came to me why?" he asked, after all as far as the higher ups were concerned he wasn't to be fighting till the doctor said he could.

"It's the person known as Envy sir," the soldier reported, Roy saw red.

"Lead the way," he said grabbing his jacket and pulling on his gloves.

He'd fry Envy's ass till he forced out what happened to Edward.
