Envious Ways

Abby Ebon

O.o.O.o.O.o.O

"…are you hard?" Ed's voice was very faint, and even Envy had to strain to hear him, he felt himself blush.

It seemed that the tables had turned on him again.

Ed's reaction so-far wasn't very promising.

Envy snuck a glance at Ed, and sure enough the boy's cheeks were crimson with embarrassment – just as his were. If only you knew…Envy thought lustfully, none the less he turned to face the other boy, and seeing this Ed glanced down, bashful.

Envy kept himself from smirking slyly or grinning like a fool- barely. Envy decided the best way, was to be truthful- if blunt.

"Yes Chibi, I am." Envy arched his back showing off – and Ed stammered, not daring to look Envy in the eye- but Ed did look elsewhere at Envy.

His firm arms, lifted carefree above his head, his hard muscles, and having felt Envy's skin, Ed just managed to keep the whimper from being heard. Nothing though, was keeping Envy from smelling Ed.

"What are you going to do about it?" Envy teased with a smug grin, knowing that Ed would only widen his eyes, stammer something, and disappear. For a moment if looked like Ed would do just that- but Envy was determined to get a real kiss before Ed up and left him with a hard on- again.

When Ed tried to get up, Envy caught his arm, and pulled it so Ed's hand rested on his thigh – bringing Ed's face mere inches from Envy's. Ed had a very close up view of Envy's eyes, and what he saw startled him. In those imposable eyes there was lust, desire, and a hint of mirth – all the things he had expected, but there was also affectionate caring.

Envy honestly cared for him- not just lusted, but cared- and quite possibly, loved.

This, more then Envy's touch, froze him long enough for Envy to kiss him. Envy's lips caressed his- soft as a whisper, and then when Ed did not jerk away, nor protest Envy's actions- did Envy press his lips firmly against him.

Ed couldn't help but to whimper, and Envy brought his other hand to rest gently against his neck, encouraging Ed to respond. Ed decided abruptly- and irrationally, to comply, and as Envy's tongue pressed and played with his closed lips, Ed opened them, and Envy slipped his tongue inside.

It seemed to Ed that Envy's tongue was everywhere at once, pressing against his own tongue, swiping against the sides of his mouth, and tickling the roof of his mouth.

Ed moaned oh so softly, because his senses had heightened, and without knowing it, Ed's hand had pressed against Envy's hardness – Ed froze when he felt the flesh under his fingers jump.

Envy felt Ed stiffen, not form desire, but from surprise- so as much as it pained Envy, he withdrew from the small blond's mouth. He was surprised at himself, after just one kiss he was hard and aching for his Ed – but he knew he had to take things slowly. Ed would not be forced, and if he was – he would never forgive Envy.

"Ed?" Envy's voice was choked and soft, but Ed's ear rested beside Envy's lips. Ed made a noise in the back of his throat, and Envy no longer felt the pressure that had been resting pleasantly against his groin.

Realization struck suddenly and without mercy - that had been Ed's hand. If it was possible Envy got even harder, and hearing Ed's pants for breath weren't helping.

"S-s-sorry." Ed whispered, and before Envy could react - the blond boy had fled from him again. Envy groaned, and vowed the little blond would not get away again, Envy got up – ignoring his uncomfortable state and decided to follow – to apologize for moving too swiftly.

Ed ran fast, and Envy lost him- but not for long.

Envy glimpsed Ed in the woods, nude, and panting as he masturbated. Envy smirked, and with Ed's eyes screwed shut- it was easy to be unnoticed. Envy settled himself between Ed's parted legs, and moved to lick at Ed's groin, and Ed moaned.

Still caught in his fantasy, Ed grasped Envy's hair, and pushed his hardness deeper into Envy's hot mouth.

Envy didn't mind, and decided to play with Ed, embraced in the warmth and wetness of his mouth – Envy used his tongue to play with the tip. Ed whined prettily in the back of his throat, and arched his back; Envy glimpsed the other's hole, lubed with spit and oh so tempting.

Envy would have giggled – even while getting a blow job the blond was submissive. Still Envy resisted the urge to take Ed, instead focusing on giving his boy the best orgasm in his life.

Envy gently scraped his teeth along the sides of Ed's groin, causing the blond to bite into his lip, biting back a moan. Ed's hardness jumped inside Envy's mouth, and Envy swallowed his pre, and Envy brought his fingers into Ed's entrance, and pressed them into it- Ed let out a horse shout. Too far gone to realize his fingers were tightly clenched into silky hair, not touching him- and certainly not pushing into his entrance.

As Envy worked Ed's groin, his fingers were buried into the smaller teen, searching for that 'magic spot' – he found it, Ed let lose a cross between a harshly indrawn breath and a mewl, and cried out Envy's name.

Envy froze, not because of the cum shooting down his throat- which he was gleefully swallowing, but because Ed had called his name.

Not Roy's - his.

Envy hadn't realized how close he was to release- but Ed's utterance of his name in the climax of the little blond's passion had created a domino effect. Envy quickly let Ed's groin go - and pulled himself up to kiss Ed.

Envy smothered his whimpered moan against a surprised Ed lip's as he came, hard, and still in his leather pants.

Ed made a surprised noise, but had little choice but to enjoy his own taste- for unlike the other kiss this one was possessive, and told Ed that on no uncertain terms was he ever going to belong to anyone but Envy.

He couldn't find it within himself to protest.

Ed lay, protected within Envy's embrace, and neither noted the thorn of a red flower with grey stems pierce Ed's skin.

When they awoke it was nearing dusk and they stumbled to the hut, not specking, for both were content to collapse and fell together into the same bed. Envy awoke at near noon, and not finding Ed beside him awoke startled- and with a sharp prang in his heart.

Alarmed, Envy spared a glance around the hut- and found no sign of Ed.

"Ed!" Envy called out at a near yell, stumbling out of the cot, and out of the hut. Only to find Ed collapsed against the entrance, confused, Envy decided Ed must have gone to relieve himself in the night. Envy felt a flash of relief, then anger that Ed had worried him for nothing- Ed could have been in danger, and Envy wouldn't have known.

He kneeled beside him, touching Ed's shoulder gently.

"Are you alright, Ed?" Envy asked in a soft tone, belaying his earlier worry.

Ed slowly woke up, and Envy could tell something was wrong. Ed's normally intelligent golden eyes were glazed - and Ed blinked at him, as if not recognizing Envy. Envy felt a cold wash of fear run down his spine and settle in his belly.

"Ed?" Envy's tone of voice was soft and whispery. Ed blinked at him dazed.

"I don't feel too well…" Ed said, obviously exhausted, closing his eyes- and then snapping then open- although afraid to be caught asleep. Envy didn't like the look of this; he picked Ed up and took him inside the hut, then laid him onto the cot.

Bewildered at what to do, Envy took in the fact that Ed hadn't eaten since yesterday, and would probably want something to eat.

So without further delay, and in desperation to get his mind off what could happen to Ed - for other then Envy, there was no one else – and while Envy could change into people and mimic their actions, he didn't hold their memories.

So, if Ed got worse, he could die, and Envy could do nothing.

Envy mashed a mixture of the purple jelly and 'fruit-juice' hoping it would have a positive effect on the little blond. When Envy looked outside again the red sun was setting, and the first blue moon was rising.

It seemed impossible that all of that had happened in so short amount of time, but Envy shoved the thought away in favor of getting some rest – for as short as the day had been Envy hoped the night would be just as short.

When Ed had drifted to sleep, Envy let himself relax.

It proved to be a mistake.

Envy awoke when two of the three moons were high in the night sky, the absence of Ed by head side proved to be a quick way to awaken him. He amused himself that Ed would likely take advantage of this when he was …himself. None the less Envy was quick to go in search of Ed.

Envy found him walking determinedly toward the metal-tree forest. Envy trotted after him, and caught up, then placed his hand on Ed's shoulder to turn him around to face Envy.

"Ed? What are you doing out here? Don't you want to get some sleep?" Envy asked so softly so not to startle Ed. Ed blinked at him, as if he didn't recognize him – then looked over Envy's shoulder. A chill settled over Envy.

"I can't sleep; have to….have to…" Ed frowned, obviously confused over what he had to do.

"Don't worry about it Ed…we'll find out what you have to do in the morning, alright?" Envy tried to sooth him, wary, and taking in the sight of the teen. His eyes were glazed, his breath was unsteady, and cheeks flushed. Envy wondered if he was running a fever and brushed his hand against the blond boys flushed cheeks.

Ed shuddered, and leaned into the touch. It stuck Envy that if he didn't know better – he would have thought Ed was …drunk. Envy narrowed his eyes in thought.

"Ed, listen to me –it's important, alright?" Ed blinked dully at him, frowning slightly, and nodded.

"What did you do last night?" Envy asked, very slowly, so Ed could concentrate on his words.

"Climax…" Ed had a dreamy expression on his face- and grinned, reaching to touch Envy's face.

"What else happened, Ed?" Envy asked softly, so not to get upset, nor - distracted at the feeling of Ed's soft fingers on his face, touching him. Ed frowned at the question, and then his eyes lit up, as if he had uncovered the meaning of the universe- or gotten his limbs and his brother's body back.

"Red flower thorns, made me…feel funny…" Ed bit his lip cutely, and Envy throttled the urge to kiss, or take advantage of the poor blond, before it could gain hold. Envy sighed, still worried – would the red-flower thorns, which obviously carried a 'poison' of sorts would ware off soon?

Ed pressed close against Envy, and giggled into his shoulder, nuzzling against him. Envy found him self hoping the blond teen would, indeed, return to normal very soon- Envy didn't want to have to deal with this for a long time.

Envy didn't think his labido could handle it.

He got Ed back in his cot, and Ed giggled, their hands still clasped together. Ed yanked on their joined hands, catching Envy off balance and sending him tumbling onto the blond. Envy froze, and when he realized Ed was snoozing, smiled indulgently at the blond and curled against him.

He woke again that night to Ed screaming into his ear. Ed was curled in a fetal position crying, baffled and fearful for the blond, he held him. That didn't seem to stop Ed's shivering and small whimpers; Envy murmured comforting words to him – though it didn't seem to help him. Finally Envy gathered up enough sense and alertness just to ask the blond what the matter was.

"Ed, listen to me, why are you afraid?" An exhausted Envy asked, trying to bring Ed back to reality. All Envy could do was what he was doing- talk to Ed, assure him of his safety, and keep him fed and hydrated.

"Monsters…" Ed whispered, and at his tone Envy shifted, uncomfortable. Envy held him till dawn. Knowing that some people thought of Envy – or homunculi as monsters…made him unable to sleep.

Although Ed had eventually drifted off to sleep…

Which Envy supposed was the point.
