Jessie: Yup! I think you get da point. Envy will be in this chapter and there'll be some Dr. Brian at the beginning… but after that? Oh, it'll be just a nice, calm weekend for Envy and Ed at home… alone.
(Is calm even in Envy's vocabulary? I think not!)

A loud noise from outside the office caused Dr. Brian Setzar to give a start. He listened intently to the voice only now accompanying what now sounded like someone furiously stomping, and relaxed. He walked over towards the front of the room to open the door, but was forced to jump aside as the door was flung open, very nearly hitting him in the face. Brian gulped and sweatdropped, taking a moment to breathe deeply before cautiously peering around the door. He immediately came face-to-face with calm, violet eyes.
"Hey," Envy nodded at him in acknowledgement. Brian bit back a smile when he noticed Envy was easily containing a blonde, angry, obviously pregnant Edward with an arm.
"Lemme go, bastard! That fucking moron fucking called me SHORT!" Ed howled, futilely struggling to get out from Envy's grasp.
"He was a five year old boy, Ed," Envy said with an exaggerated sigh.
"B-but I-- …H-he--…" Ed struggled to maintain the argument, all the while knowing he was fighting a loosing battle. Although in his hesitation, the blonde seemed to finally take notice of the more-than-slightly amused doctor, as a blush sprung to his face.
"I take it your pregnancy haven't changed you a bit, Edward," Brian said with a small smile. Ed removed himself from Envy's grasp, and crossed his arms, a scowl completing his usual mask.
"Yeah, yeah, whadeva, Doc," Ed grumbled, refusing to make eye contact as he fought back his blush. Brian merely offered Ed a chair in response. Ed sat down and responded with what sounded like a mumbled "thanks." Envy immediately took residence behind his chibi's chair, bending over to wrap his arms possessively around Ed's shoulders.
Brian quickly scanned over the notes taken from Ed's last visit, and whistled loudly when he read the date.
"Wow. You're already five months along. Already in your second trimester, Edward," Brian said, inconspicuously glancing at the two from the corner of his eye every so often while he jotted down some new observations on his ever-present clipboard.
At Brian's announcement, Ed accomplished a combination of blushing and paling. Envy nuzzled his face into his hair, and murmured something into Ed's ear that made the young alchemist relax.
Brian grinned as he watched Envy's hand gradually made its way down to come to rest on Ed's stomach. Eventually, Brian coughed politely, and Envy reluctantly pulled a second seat from the desk over so he could sit next to Ed.
"So. How's your morning sickness been?" Brian teased. Ed glowered.
"Shut up."
"Hmm. From the sounds of it, it hasn't eased up at all," Brian noted helpfully, talking more or less to himself, as he tapped his pen against his chin before quickly scribbling something down. Ed rolled his eyes.
"No shit, Sherlock," Ed groaned, rubbing his face with a hand irritably. He looked up at the doctor with a slightly pleading look in his eye.
"Doc, are you sure there is nothing you can give me to stop it?" Ed asked, nearly begging. Brian looked at him sympathetically.
"Sorry, Ed. There's no kind of medication that can stop it completely," Brian shrugged helplessly. Ed slumped over, and it was as if a dark cloud suddenly surrounded him. It looked like he was preparing to wallow in self-pity.
"…But I can give you something to help with the nausea," Brian said as an afterthought. The cloud lifted, and Ed perked up immediately.
"Really?"
Brian nodded affirmatively. Ed looked as though he'd won the lottery.
"Score!" He cheered happily. Envy snorted slightly, and rolled his eyes playfully.
"Any other unfortunate side-effects of pregnancy bugging you?" Brian asked. Ed opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by a cry from Envy.
"The fucked up cravings! They're awful! I swear, they're fucking around with his mind," Envy groaned. Ed blushed bright red, and let his head drop into his hand in embarrassment.
"Envy!" He hissed angrily. Brian chuckled.
"Oh, really? Like what?"
"He…drank…" Envy paused, and brought the back of his hand across his closed eyes dramatically. Then, suddenly, Envy was looking at Brian with all seriousness.
"…Milk," he whispered almost inaudibly. Brian blinked and laughed.
"I'm just taking a guess, but from the sounds of it, this is really big deal coming from Ed?"
Envy only nodded his assent. Brian looked thoughtful.
"You know, a lot of pregnant women get cravings for chocolate," Brian noted with a smile. Envy raised an eyebrow.
"Chocolate?" Envy asked dubiously, gaining an affirmative nod from Brian.
Envy froze upon sensing he was being stared at, and was abruptly overcome with a sudden sinking feeling. (Brian was watching the whole ordeal with great entertainment). Slowly Envy turned his head to see the small blonde staring at him with his large, golden eyes, smiling broadly. With a reluctant sigh, Envy grabbed Ed's wallet, and started out the door.
"Be right back, Edo," Envy called (sounding only slightly exasperated), before flashing a smile at Ed, who was grinning triumphantly.
When the door had clicked securely shut, and the sound of Envy's footsteps had disappeared, Brian dragged his own chair over, stationing himself in front of Ed.
Ed flushed slightly when he realized Brian was studying the bump on his abdomen intently.
"A-ah… Umm, sooo… what else is there that I need to know about at this stage of my… my pregnancy?" Ed asked awkwardly. The way Ed said it, it sounded to Brian as if the teen was still was getting over the fact that it had been possible for him to get pregnant at all.
'Well, he does have reason to…' The doctor smiled at Ed reassuringly.
"Hmm… I think you two have basically gotten everything under control for now, but in the near future, we're going to have to start talking about where and how we're going to deliver the baby…" Once Brian had asked Ed if he knew what a cesarean section was (Ed responded with a blush and a hesitant nod, mumbling something about not being well-acquainted with the subject), Brian found himself rambling on and on about the procedure (in excruciating detail, no less).
"--And because the rate of survival for both the mother and child has increased so dramatically over the years, the procedure is being used more frequently all over. It's a good thing we have access the knowledge here for you, Edward!" Brian said cheerfully.
"…Yeah. Great."
Surprised at the lack of enthusiasm, Brian looked directly at Ed. Green-blue eyes met gold ones, and for the first time Brian was amazed to find he was able to read them so clearly. Ed was mortified at the topic of the conversation. Brian inwardly kicked himself for not noticing Ed's discomfort sooner.
"Ed, you do know it's crucial for us to discuss the actual delivery process, don't you?" Brian questioned gently. Ed hesitated before nodding slightly.
"So. Do you have anyone other than Envy to support you after the baby is born?" Brian inquired. A dark expression crossed Ed's face briefly before it was replaced with a more thoughtful one.
"I have my brother, Alphonse… and the Rockbell's, who supported us when we were younger," Ed thought out loud. Brian frowned slightly.
"They 'supported' you?" Brian echoed. Ed nodded in the slightest.
"But… what about your parents?" Brian asked as gently as he could. He observed Ed's fists clenching tightly in his lap.
"Our… our mother…" Ed paused and closed his eyes, a slightly pained look taking residence on his face. It looked to Brian as though he was reflecting upon painful memories he tried so hard to keep repressed. He was right.
"Edward, every thing you tell me is kept confidential; you know that," Brian said soothingly. Another silence overtook the room; Ed's head was bowed so that his bangs covered his eyes.
Finally, Ed spoke up again, not bothering to lift his head.
"Our mom died when Al was eight and I was nine," Ed mumbled. Brian's mouth dropped slightly open; he'd heard long ago that the Elric brothers had a tragic history, but he had no idea of how terrible it was. He waited for the golden chibi to continue.
Brian was surprised to see a bitter smile appear on his lips.
"And our father? He left mom long ago, when I was still a baby, and right after Al was born. When mom needed him the fucking most." Ed spat, his mood changing for the worse. Brian's eyes were slightly wide, but he did nothing to stop the blonde from his rant. He figured it'd be best to let the blonde let out this frustration that had obviously been pent up for far too long.
"We don't even fucking know if he's alive or dead," Ed was nearly screaming, and was clenching his fists so tightly in his anger that his knuckles were white.
Brian had a sudden recollection of his first meeting with Ed.
"Mr. Elric--"
"Could ya please just call me "Ed?" It reminds me of someone…"
Ed stood up; his whole body was tense. He finally lifted his head, and Brian's heart sank when he saw the spiteful, pained look on Ed's face.
"Even if he is alive, I would never ask him for his fucking help. If he couldn't help Mom, there can't be any fucking way he'd help his son or remaining family. And I don't want his fucking help…" Ed's anger was slowly relenting; he was breathing hard, and his voice was lowering.
Eventually, he plopped back down in his seat, and rubbed his face tiredly with a hand; all previous anger suddenly vanishing.
"…I'm really sorry… I don't really know what came over me," Ed said, looking away in embarrassment. Brian waved it away with a hand.
"It's quite alright, Ed. You can't keep on bottling up the way you feel about something, or else you'll eventually just crack like you did now. And taking the fact that you're pregnant and have mood swings-- that too plays a large role in emotional breakdowns." Brian explained calmly. Ed nodded sheepishly.
"'Kay," Ed said shyly, acting now more than ever the teenager he was.
"Ah… Hey, Ed?" Brian struggled to think of a way to change the topic to one Ed would be more comfortable with. Ed made a soft noise, indicating he was listening. An idea suddenly sprung to mind, and Brian smiled widely.
"Would you like me to find out the time where the baby is going to be due?" Brian asked casually, his eyes sparkling. Ed's eyes widened, and he was drawn from his previous funk.
"Really? You can do that?" He asked, his interest obvious by the way he spoke. Brian laughed at Ed's open excitement.
"Yes, I can."
"Then whadya keeping us waiting for?" Another voice asked, joining the conversation unexpectedly, and both Ed and Brian looked to the door in surprise.
Envy grinned at them from the doorway before chucking a large chocolate bar at Ed. Ed caught it with ease and eagerly tore into it, biting a chuck of it and smiling somewhat dreamily. Envy chuckled lightly as he walked over to the two others in the room.
"Alright. Let me just check your file," Brian mumbled, already leafing through the papers from the folder that was on his desk. His eyes quickly scanned over the information, and he let out a victorious "Hah!" as he located the paper he needed. There was silence in the room as Brian quickly wrote down some numbers, his lips moving as he calculated.
Finally, Brian looked up with a smile.
"According to my calculations," Brian said playfully, adding a "dramatic" pause. Both Envy and Ed waited intently, though Ed sat with baited breath, his chocolate forgotten in his lap.
"The baby should be born in October, right around the middle of the month, maybe a little bit earlier…" Brian muttered to himself while he copied down a few more figures. At last he circled something he'd written on the paper, making an affirmative noise as he lowered his hand holding the clipboard to his side in finality.
Brian raised his eyes to his apprehensive patient and his partner.
"It looks like the baby is due to be born on October twelfth," Brian said with a smile. Ed and Envy exchanged pleased glances.
"Well, we've gotta start headin' back home… Ed's gotta get back and rest; he's got work everyday this week," Envy explained, getting up to leave, Ed already at the door, working on devouring his chocolate again.
"Wait, Edward, I have some things for you," Brian said. Ed came over, and was handed two pieces of paper. One was a sheet with a little bit of text on it, with Brian's signature on the bottom right-hand corner. The other was little more than a slip of paper that had his name on the top; below it appeared to be the name of some sort of medication on it. Brian's signature was present on this one as well.
Ed stared blankly at the two papers, his mouth still full of chocolate. Eventually he looked up, swallowed, and raised a questioning eyebrow at Brian.
"What's this?" He asked, pointing to the larger sheet.
"That's an excuse from work. On it, I explain how you need to miss work due to pneumonia, and you need to stay home to recover. It would not be a wise idea to spread the word that you're pregnant; if it gets out, you'll probably be taken away to be experimented on," Brian said warily.
"So use it when you don't want to go out in public any more because you're showing, and can't go into work, lest you gather suspicious of your condition. And those official papers from me should be a sufficient excuse for higher ups" Ed responded with a thankful smile sent toward the young doctor.
"And this?" Ed now pointed to the slip. Brian grinned, and gestured to the door.
"Bring that to the prescriptions counter and the nurse there will give you a bottle of pills for morning sickness," Brian said with a wink. Ed looked back down at the paper with a new respect, and dashed out the door to get the "blessed" medication.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Envy! You ready?" Ed called, tossing the crumpled chocolate wrapper into a trashcan stationed by the door before he opened the door to Brian's office and stepped inside. While Envy finished up some conversation with Brian, Ed could have sworn the young doctor handed something inconspicuously to the green-haired Homunculus, who in turn stuck said thing into their bag. Ed let the feeling go, however, as Envy walked toward him, slipping an arm around his waist before they made their way back out of the door together. Ed turned his head quickly and waved back at Brian. Envy didn't turn around at all, but made some sort of motion over his shoulder with his hand, which Brian took to be a wave in its own, strange way.
"Goodbye!" Brian called after them. There was a muffled response, before the footsteps faded away completely. Brian sat down with a content sigh.
'I hope everything works out for those boys…' Brian thought, in a good mood after having seen his most interesting patient.
A small smile played on Brian's lips as his thoughts changed focus from the temperamental chibi to the father of the baby.
'And Envy better take that gift seriously.'
XxXxXxXxXx
"Hey, Envy," a sleepy voice greeted, accompanied with the sounds of a door opening and then closing just a few seconds later. Violet eyes moved up, and Envy peered over the book he was reading as he expected his chibi to walk into the room. Sure enough, Ed stumbled in, and plopped down next to him. Envy noticed with a well-hidden smile that the blonde was wearing only his boxers and a huge shirt that nearly came down to his knees (it was especially large on Ed, due to his lack of height). His golden hair was let down from its usual braid, but was kept back in a messy, carelessly made ponytail. Envy couldn't picture anything that could possibly be cuter.
"Hey, Chibi, didn't you head in for the night?" Envy asked as he greeted him with a feather-light kiss on the lips before pulling back to look at the tired teen. Ed nodded, but remained on the couch, rubbing his eyes wearily with his fists.
"Its late-- you should be in bed," Envy said. Ed shrugged.
"Yeah, but I missed you. I like going to bed with you," Ed yawned, stretching his arms over his head. Envy merely sent a small smirk and a nod toward him before he resumed his thorough reading.
Slowly beginning to wake up, Ed watched Envy's eyes quickly scan the pages, before eagerly flipping the second page to read the next two. He was nearly halfway through the considerably large volume. Ed could tell by the way Envy was sitting straight up and unmoving that the Homunculus was thoroughly intrigued by what he was reading; a state in which you rarely saw him when it came to books (or anything other than Ed himself, for that matter). However, the cover had been removed, and Ed could not recognize the book.
"What're ya readin'?" Ed asked curiously, leaning over to try to read some of the content. Envy, seeming to have forgotten Ed was sitting right there next to him in the few minutes he'd dove back into the text, hurriedly scooted away and uncharacteristically held the book protectively against his chest.
Envy could feel heat quickly rising to his face, and he inwardly cursed.
"N-nothing special," Envy muttered, turning his head away in a poor attempt to hide his blush.
Ed raised an eyebrow incredulously. This was a rare sight; was Envy actually blushing?
"You are aware that now I really have to know, right?" Ed teased. Envy tried to glare at the chibi, but it came out as a pout.
"What; I'm not allowed to read in private now? What the fuck else am I supposed to do now that you're back at work and I've got nothing else to do?" Envy grumbled. Ed rolled his eyes.
"It wouldn't be as much of a problem, if you would actually give yourself permission to get out of the house sometimes. C'mon; you can't possibly think that all humans are bad, I'm a human," Ed pointed out unnecessarily. Envy shrugged airily.
"But that's because you're my chibi," Envy smirked. "You've always been my chibi." Ed blushed slightly.
"…Well… I still wanna know what book that is," Ed said, trying to change the topic.
"…And if its porn, I'm personally gonna castrate ya," Ed added as a threatening afterthought. On that dark note, Envy grinned.
"You're not getting this without a--" And that was all Envy found himself capable of saying, before Ed launched himself at the startled shape shifter. Ed pressed his lips against Envy's in a heated kiss, and forced his tongue through Envy's lips. Envy moaned into Ed's mouth, smirking to himself as he felt the sound caused shivers to race down Ed's spine.
Suddenly, Envy found his book being easily plucked out of his grasp, and Ed's warmth was suddenly withdrawn. Envy blinked dumbly, before his brain processed that Ed was now sitting calmly beside him, scanning the first page of the book. His eyes widened, and he flipped back to the table of contents.
After reading the names of the chapters, he lifted his gaze to Envy, who, at the sudden eye contact, blushed furiously. A smile twitched on the corners of Ed's lips, and the alchemist flipped back another page to read the title off the book on the inside. Finally, Ed closed the book, glancing down at it with interest before looking back up.
"So… do ya think you'd mind telling me exactly when you started reading 'The First Steps of Parenthood', Envy?" Ed asked in a slightly playful tone, a little smile plastered onto his lips. Envy frowned before hurriedly getting up to leave. A smaller hand caught his wrist, however, and he was forced to look back at his small blonde.
"What… I'm gonna be one soon… why not read about it?" Envy muttered, knowing he'd been caught red-handed with a baby book, and would only be teased if he denied it.
"And… and Brian gave it to me," he continued, eyes cast down to the floor. It appeared as though he was suddenly intrigued by the design on the carpet.
"He said it would be good for me to read, and would be helpful to you…" Envy glared daggers at the book that was causing him such embarrassment. Why, oh why, had he actually trusted a human other than Ed? …Okay, maybe it had to do with the fact that this human was responsible for taking care of his blonde and their baby, but still… he'd always known hanging around humans was trouble. Envy wished nothing more at the moment than to be Somewhere Else.
So you can imagine how shocked (though undeniably relieved) he was when, out of the blue, he was forced back down onto the couch and pulled into a warm embrace.
"Thank you, Envy," Ed murmured, before gently pressing a kiss against the side of the Homunculus's neck.
"…For what?" Envy asked, completely lost at this point. Ed just shook his head and smiled happily.
"Just thanks. Thanks for giving your all to make this work. Thanks for taking care of the baby and me. And thanks for giving this kid a chance," Ed murmured, blushing a little at his own words.
Envy, now decidedly pleased at this unexpected reaction, wrapped an arm around Ed. He held Ed's face in his other hand and tilted the blonde's head up, licking gently at Ed's lips and then immediately allowed entry. After a few minutes, Ed suddenly pulled away. Envy looked at him, obviously irritated the kiss had ended so abruptly.
"Edo, what--" Ed placed a finger over Envy's lips, smirking slightly.
"Just be quiet for a minute, Envy," Ed said, pressing up against Envy, practically purring. For the first time, Envy took notice of Ed's lustful expression.
"Now… we both know that if we keep this up, I'm gonna end up uke. I don't really wanna chance hurting the baby, and… you're always giving me special attention…" Ed trailed off, his hands gliding gently down Envy's arms. Ed's eyes glinted mischievously, satisfied that he held all of Envy's attention; as if Envy's wide eyes that were constantly glued to his face wasn't clue enough.
"But I know you love being seme… And I have a solution," Ed whispered into Envy's ear seductively.
For a moment Envy was rendered speechless. As always, he was astounded by the spontaneous mood swing, and only one thought registered coherently in his head.
'I fucking love mood swings.'
Envy smirked broadly upon catching Ed's drift, and only had one thing left to say…
"Bring it on, Fullmetal," Envy growled playfully, pulling the blonde into a heated kiss.
XoX
Ed immediately slipped his tongue between Envy's lips on contact, surprising the Homunculus. Ed clutched Envy's shirt in tight fists, gradually pulling the tight fabric over his head and letting it fall by the couch. Envy's skort and Ed's shirt and pants joined it quickly, creating a small heap on the floor.
Envy closed his eyes, and sighed deeply at the sensation of Ed's lips brushing lightly against the front of his neck. Ed smiled against Envy's pale skin when he managed to extract a small hiss of mixed pain and pleasure from the body beneath him by biting down precisely where his neck and shoulder connected. He compensated by kissing and licking the bite profusely.
"Mmm… glad to see you haven't lost it yet, Edo," Envy said on a sigh, tilting his head back to allow Ed better access to his neck. Ed responded to the statement by dragging his lips down his throat and licking his way down to Envy's navel, pausing to dip his tongue in and out. Envy shuddered in pleasure, and decided it was about time to spook the blonde.
Ed gasped when Envy randomly bucked his hips upward suggestively. Ed felt his face burn crimson, and looked away upon hearing his wild-haired lover chuckle at his antics as he commented on how cute and still very innocent he was.
Envy's breath caught suddenly in his throat, and he nearly choked on it as a hot mouth shamelessly took him in for a mere second, making Envy hiss with the sudden contact he'd been sorely missing for so long.
Envy looked down through lust-clouded eyes to see Ed's smug-looking golden orbs staring right back at his half-lidded violet ones. Ed would never say it, but as he saw Envy in this position (a.k.a panting, sweating, and moaning) he was pretty sure he knew why Envy got so impatient so quickly.
Ed slowly licked up Envy's legnth, taking him unexpectedly into his mouth halfway. Envy futilely tried to stifle a moan, and blindly reached for something to hold, and ended up tightly gripping Ed's left shoulder with one hand and some golden hair with the other.
"Chibi," Ed groaned, desperately bucking his hips and forcing Ed take him fully into his mouth. Ed chuckled softly, feeling Envy tense as the vibrations from his laughter hit home.
"E-Edo," Envy managed to get out between clenched teeth.
"Ye-es?" Ed asked sweetly, stretching out the word as much as he could. Envy squeezed his eyes shut, determined to not let a single betraying noise slip through his lips. Envy's eyes opened, and he sent a glare at the chibi. However, the glare turned into a smirk. He knew exactly what Ed wanted him to say.
"Fuck me already," Envy purred. Ed's eyes widened, and he fought back a blush; only Envy could put words so embarrassingly blandly with ease.
"Close your eyes," Ed ordered.
"Yes, Master," Envy said huskily, closing his eyes obediently.
At first Envy felt nothing but disappointment as Ed lost contact with his shaft entirely. But then Envy's eyes snapped open and he openly groaned out a soft, disbelieving, "Oh, you're shitting me. Edo," as a sudden warmth enveloped him. His mind nearly shut down right there and then.
Envy propped himself up on his elbows before he grasped Ed's waist securely, supporting the younger boy as Ed tried to adjust to the sudden intrusion he'd put upon himself, holding back a few choked sobs and regaining his breath.
Ed's eyes were shut tightly, and he panted harshly, small whimpers escaping his lips every now and then. Envy stayed as still as he could, trying to not cause the teen on top of him any more pain than he was already experiencing.
Ed's pained eyes eventually opened, and lowered to meet Envy's pleasured, but undoubtedly concerned ones.
"Go on, Edo," Envy whispered. A determined look replaced the pained one almost entirely, and with a soft grunt, Ed raised himself from Envy almost completely, before sliding back down. Envy's head fell back onto his shoulders and he moaned loudly. Encouraged by the reaction, Ed started a slow rhythm, rising and falling back down with increasing force.
Ed shifted slightly before ramming himself down on Envy again while beneath him, Envy arched up into him. Ed let out a cry that was accompanied with some harsh shudders as he obviously found that special spot Envy always managed to hit.
"Envy," Ed whispered breathlessly, his head having fallen back on his shoulders.
"I can't hear you, Ed," Envy moaned as Ed threw himself back down onto him with even more force.
"A-ah… Envy…" Ed whimpered desperately, eyes closing as he brushed against the spot that sent jolts of pleasure racing up his spine.
"Scream my name, Chibi," Envy hissed, one hand leaving Ed's waist to grab his member tightly. Ed's eyes opened wide before they closed halfway.
"Envy…" Ed moaned softly, just barely brushing against that spot again.
"Louder."
"Envy!"
"Louder!"
Ed slammed down onto Envy again, this time hitting the spot dead on, and with all the force he could muster.
"ENVY!" Ed screamed as he climaxed and came into Envy's hand, Envy coming right after him, sighing his name. For the first few seconds, Ed slumped forward, panting hard. Gathering all the strength he had left, Ed weakly pushed himself up off of Envy, and collapsed next to him on the couch, the two basking together in the afterglow, Envy lazily licking his hand clean before he toyed with Ed's sweat-slicked blonde hair.
XoX
As usual, Envy's hands eventually found their way to Ed's rounded stomach, and gently rubbed it.
"I don't think… we're going to be… doing any of that… again… any time soon," Ed murmured between his gasps for air. Envy sighed, but nodded his assent.
"Nope. Not with you in your current condition…
"Yeah…" (Yawn)
A pause.
"Ne… Edo… Isn't it about time you went back to bed? You've got a whole week of work ahead of you, starting tomorrow, and you've gotta be tired after that."
"…Fuck, its Monday tomorrow? …Do I have to go to work?" Ed whined. Envy simply blinked, staring right back at him.
"Uhh…yeah, you do."
Another pause, eventually broken with a sigh.
"…Damn." Envy got up with a small smirk sent Ed's way and, with a little more difficulty than he normally would have, lifted the blonde chibi into his arms. Ed wrapped his arms around Envy's neck and rested his head on his shoulder.
Once in their bedroom, Envy gingerly lay Ed down on their bed. He walked around to his side and clicked off the bedside lamp before joining him there. He pulled merely the sheet over both of their bodies. Immediately, Ed cuddled up against the Homunculus as best he could, and rested his head in the crook of Envy's neck while Envy wrapped an arm loosely around his smaller body. Again, Envy wondered how Ed fit against his body so perfectly.
Envy voiced his thoughts, and was rewarded with a small chuckle and a loving "good-night kiss."
The two fell asleep not long after that, Envy thinking about his little blonde, and Ed wondering briefly about how he was going to keep his little secret from spreading at work before his thoughts turned to a happier subject; the green-haired Sin laying against him.
And all was peaceful.
…For the moment…
…The exact opposite of the frantic week to come.

You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that you think Ed's in character; I'm trying sooo hard, and its even more challenging because he has mood swings and other side effects of pregnancy making him psycho! And thank you for agreeing… but it's so true. Envy really did need a break! That's for the review!
Me And My God Complex: You bet he is! Ed. Feminine. Giggle
DEATHxBYxPAPERCUTS: EnvyxEd forever, baby! Shudders at thought of being yelled at by Ed Poor Mustang… Tries to stifle laughter but fails and ends up laughing hysterically
razatip: Yup, Mustang totally deserved being scarred for life! Silly Roy, don't make fun of Ed; something bad will always come from it!
Solo Maxwell-Yamato: Blushes I feel sooo loved! Huggles Glad you love my ficcy so much! Hands a carton of chocolate chip ice cream and a spoon Pss… the spoon is chocolate, too!
aruslym: Hey, did you train the aliens to give you cheese when you run around the maze and find the little bell and ring it? Thanks for the review!
MiStraLL: Yes, yes… We all know Ed hates crying, and here he even cries in front of Mustang! The poor midget… Hope ya enjoyed the latest update
envy's flame: I know Envy wasn't in the last chappie, but I tried to make up for it here! Grins Go Hughes!
Fishtank the Stephs: Yup. I can never get enough of Ed's outbursts! Rolls around on the floor laughing at thought of the episode where Ed nearly calls himself 'small' while in the vent of Laboratory 5!
Tisska01: Nods happily I thought the reaction was worth it, too! Heh, I looove Maes Hughes! He's like, one of my favie characters of all time! Hands you Hughes action figure ('Now with 'showing-pictures-of-Elysia-action!')
shu-chan77901: Starry eyed I know, right? Babies are adorable! Oh, and as for your question of the gender… well, that's an answer for a later time! Wink
