Unbelievers
Chapter 4. Piano
Al stared at his injured brother, who just smiled nervously.
"Nii-san, what happened to you?" He finally spoke and kneeled beside Ed. "You said in the phone that you're okay and you only slept over at your friend's place because you were tired after training! If this is the real reason you'd better explane yourself." He said as he exmined the bruises and scratches all over Ed's hands. Ed just opened and closed his mouth and tried to find something to say and Envy had a hard time holding himself from laughing. Ed shot a death-glare at him and Envy tried to look as innocent as he could.
"Look, Al. I can explane when we get home okay? But first, would you mind explaning first, why are you here?" Ed finally figured what to say. Al looked at him straight to the eye.
"I heard from Wrath that you were here. And that you're injured. But I never got an answer to, how you got in so bad shape!?" Al said and the last word he almost yelled. Ed looked down.
"You're not angry, are you?" He asked in a tiny voice, face flushed a little with embarresment. Al chuckled and lifted Ed's chin making him look in his eyes again. "No. I'm not angry. You just made me and granny worried." He smiled a little and so did Ed.
"So, I'll ask you again. How did you get in this shape?" Ed turned to look at Envy.
"Somebody just want's to get rid of me. That's all." Ed said still looking at Envy. Even though he didn't see Al's face he could guess. Al's eyes wide open and mouth in a strict line.
"That's all!? Brother. You shouldn't say it so lightly!"
"Hey... There's nothing for you to worry about. I'm allright." Ed turned to face Al again. Al's eyes narrowed and he mercilessly poked Ed's arm making Ed hiss.
Okay, then who did this to you?" He asked in a dark voice. Ed opened his mouth to answer but turned to see Envy.
"Well actually, I'd like to know it too." He said and glared at Envy. Envy looked away like he hadn't heard Ed's, so called, question. "So, Envy I'd like to hear the rest of your sentence." Ed said with a waiting tone in his voice.
"Excuse me but I can't remember where I was left off." He smirked evilely. Now it was Ed's turn to start feel annoyed. His eyes narrowed.
"You almost didn't even start. So, tell me." Ed had a warning tone in his voice but Envy just continued to smirk.
"Yes, I promised to tell you. But not to your. Brother, is it?" Envy looked at Al. Ed sighed and looked at Al too.
"Al could you... Wait outside?" Al looked at Envy in suspicious for a while but then nodded. Envy waited 'till Al and Wrath were out of the room. And then he spoke.
"You see, those guys who attacked you. They are from Suicide bomb-named gang." Ed's eyes widen. Why would some gang want to get rid of him? There was no reason. At least Ed didn't come up with any reason.
"Why would someone like that want to attack me?" He finally asked. Envy looked at Ed's hand. The bandages were still no good so he took his hand and started again.
"Well... Maybe because you're my friend." Ed looked at Envy with a puzzeled face again. He couldn't help but feel comfortable every time Envy said that they were friends. Even though he thought that they couldn't be friends so fast. They've only met. Ed couldn't help but smile a little. There was amoment's silence, but then Envy started to speak again:
"Or then there may be some other reasons. Like your height, or your attitude, or your looks, or your blondie hair..." With every possible reason Envy listed Ed's face turned from smile to angry little by little.
"WHAT DOES MY HEIGHT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH ANY OF THIS!!!???" He snapped and Envy just laughed.
"There. All done. Now you can put your shirt back on." Envy smirked. Ed put his shirt on quikly. He was embarresed for Envy had insisted to take look at his torso. For bruises he had said, but as Ed stripped Envy had taken a pen from the table and sneaked behind Ed. Ed wasn't sure how but Envy had managed to pin Ed down on the floor and sat on Ed's back. Then he had scribbled something on Ed's right shoulder plate.
Ed rubbed his shoulder and glared at Envy.
"What was that for?" He growled. Envy continued smirking and patted Ed's head with the pen.
"I thought that I'd make a tattoo for you but when I remembered that my knife was in my apartment I decided to just draw something on your back. You can thank me later" Ed looked at Envy with eyes big as plates. Then he snapped again.
"You could at least ask me first before doing something like that!" Then Ed thought again what Envy had just said. 'His apartment? He's got his own apartment!?'
"..." Ed just stared ahead. Envy tilted his head on the side and looked at Ed's face, amused.
"You know. Earrings would suit you." Envy said and smiled. Ed looked at Envy with a slight blush. Then he put his usual snapped face on.
"No way!" He yelled and walked at the door. He rested his hand on the doorknob for a while before opening the door. He turned his head a bit so he could see Envy behind him.
"Well... See you at school." He said in a tiny voice and walked out the door. Envy heard someone speking on the other side of the door and then footsteps leading downstares. He sighed and turned around to walk at his bed when he saw Ed's phone on the bed. He picked it up and smiled. 'You really don't take care of your phone, do you?'
"You're really enjoying yourself aren't you?" Envy was snapped out of his thoughts and he turned around to see the source of the voice. A boy was sitting on the windowsill and looking out. Envy sighed.
"Oh it's you. Couldn't you use the door André?" He said and sat on his bed.
"No, I can't. Your aunt shoots me if I do." The boy named André said with a laugh and stepped down from the windowsill. "But you know that allready don't you?" Envy nodded and hided the phone under the sheets.
"Well, what bring's you here?" Envy asked and tilted his head on the side. André sat beside Envy and sighed.
"The boss want's to see you. He said something about a fight and The Suicide bomb... I guess they want you back." André looked at Envy with searious eyes. Envy didn't look back. He just bit his lip and stared at the wall. There was a silence 'till Envy spoke again. A little word that made André nod and leave:
"Fine."
