Envious Ways

Abby Ebon

Ed awoke from the strangest two days of his life, waking up to another who was wide awake, Envy- who was staring at him, both of them half naked.

"W-w-what?" Ed stuttered, not remembering anything that would explain this situation. "The red blossom thorns, they- erg, made you sick, remember? You needed body heat- and I provided it." Envy added with a smug smirk. Even though this wasn't exactly the truth, Ed would know that, and the blush was proof of this…

Ed sat there, with wide gold eyes, just staring at Envy. Envy felt strongly the urge to squirm like a naughty school boy. HeHe didn't though- and that's what mattered to the homunculi. Ed narrowed his eyes to golden slits, and Envy swallowed- Ed looked sexy angry.

"Envy…" Ed hissed, drawing closer to Envy. Envy licked his lips- and Ed's eyes followed the movement.

"Yeah, Ed?" Envy was proud of himself- his voice wasn't shaky at all.

"Are you hard?" The blond purred his lips within easy reach. Envy swallowed, and then realized that Ed was finding this funny- Envy smirked, tilting his head to the side. Deciding to play along…

"What if I am Chibi?" That was clearly not the answer Ed had been expecting, and Ed opened his mouth to respond.

Never one to turn down a tempting invitation, Envy took advantage and pressed his mouth hard against the soft lips of his chibi.

Ed made a noise- half moan and half whimper, and Envy flicked his tongue against Ed's teeth, and Ed tensed- and Envy's tongue invited itself in for a taste.

Ed tasted like the food he had eaten that night - but it wasn't taste Envy liked, it was the feel of Ed's mouth, and the playful stokes against his tongue.

Ed was a very good kisser. Envy felt daring at what Ed was letting him get away with, and his hand on its own accord moved to grab Ed's braid.

Ed made a kittenish mewl, and Envy inhaled sharply the kiss more then enough to make him hard without Ed making those kinds of noises, and trailed his other hand down Ed's side to grab Ed's butt, pulling him against him, Ed's legs straddling his thigh.

Envy's tongue still dueled with Ed in an endless game that Envy knew he could 'play' forever and neither of them would win, or grow bored of. Ed started to pull away and Envy let him, Ed's eyes had closed, and his lips were swollen and delicious looking…

Ed slowly opened his eyes, and Envy loved the want- the needy hunger in his golden eyes. Ed saw the possessive gaze, full of lust and a sort of wonder, and smiled at Envy, feeling good, wanted, and right in Envy's arms.

"So what if I am hard, Chibi, if you are too?" Envy asked a playful glint in his eyes as he thrust against Ed's thigh. Ed's cheeks turned a charming crimson, and Envy smirked, both were aware that Envy was right. Ed's erection against Envy's own thigh was felt by the both of them.

Envy brought the hand that grasped Ed's braid to this face to smell, and smirked when Ed inhaled sharply.

"Your mine Ed, but I don't think you want to fight me – a pity, you're very sexy when you're angry." Envy mused aloud, rubbing where the twin globes of Ed's arse parted. Ed was panting softly, his fists clenched in Envy's shirt.

Envy brought his hand to Ed's chin, and kissed him again.

"I'll just have to find new ways of frustrating you Edward." Envy smirked, and Ed felt the hand that that been groping his ass move to play with the hymn of his pants. A blushing Ed nodded his acceptance, and Envy did indeed find new ways of 'frustrating' Ed…all night long.

The Loll that night and they apparently had a surprise. Enough so to wake them when all three moons were up- and to walk in unashamed when Envy held a nude Ed to him atop the blankets- for it was just too hot a night to bother with getting under them.

Envy was surprised he recognized Shika, the dominate female looked amused, and then motioned for him to wake Ed, and while Envy was doing so, she left to allow them to dress in peace.

"What--?" Ed murmured sleepily, and Envy grinned down at him.

"Rise and shine, lover, we have company." Envy purred, Ed blinked at him – Envy motioned to the shadows of the Loll outside, and Ed blushed.

"Did they--?" Ed started to ask; Envy only nodded, and chuckled when Ed blushed.

Shika was waiting outside when they appeared, and both were startled to see a metal craft, with wings, and they were obviously expected to get in it. With one glance to one another, they did so.

Inside was cramped, and Ed let Envy take the window seat with not complaint- in fact he looked green whenever he saw Envy peeking out of the window. Shika and the rest of the demonic-like Loll were clearly amused; however, even the flight didn't stop Ed from asking Shika questions.

"Where are we going?" Ed asked, concentrating on the silver eyes of the ebony skinned being.

We, child, are going to the Loll City- we know you are far from your home world and we shall help you to get back to it. Shika explained, and Ed puzzled over her meaning for he did not get anymore answers.

It seemed the Loll had master the meaning of surprise.

The Loll City, as Ed and Envy had expected, like a normal city. This was land, as far as the eye could see. The only signs of habitation were the odd metal box, and carriages without horses, and of course the strip of land which they landed the flying metal on.

The two were escorted by Shika, and a smaller male, to one of metal boxes. Once inside (and Ed wasn't surprised that it could fit all four of them, it had been built by the Loll for Loll, who were wider then he was, and much, much, taller then even Envy) there was a sensation of falling, and then they found themselves in something that did, indeed, look like a city.

"It's underground…" Ed was awed by this, and so was Envy – to an extent. The underground chamber appeared to be the size of a museum. Shika did not pause for them to admire the place, so they were rushed through it – much to Ed's disappointment.

They entered a complex, and the Loll looked unsurprised at Ed and Envy's appearance. "Do people often appear on your world?" Envy asked, doubtful, but to his surprise an older Loll hissed laughter, and nodded.

Indeed – this world is old and our sun older - so reality and not reality come to us. Alike to waves bringing shells to the shore. The Loll told him, and as other Lolls surround them and took tests, blood was taken, and their names – for the archives. Shika found this all amusing.

Envy was glad someone was getting a kick out of this- because the next Loll to ask him anything was going to be eaten by his original form – help or no help. The Loll seemed to sense this, and backed off- or they had finished, Envy never figured out which was the truth.

Shika approached them, and gave them two coins- flat, metal, but smooth. Ed blinked up at her, silently demanding an explanation.

These will take you to our world, and your world. Merely think of home – but be warned, they can take you to other worlds if you do not think of your world or our world exactly as it is. Envy flipped the 'coin' and saw Shika's nostrils flare.

"What's in it?" Envy asked, glancing at the other Lolls. Shika seemed to smile. That, young one is our secret.

Deciding to give this 'magic' a try, Ed and Envy clasped hands, and thought of their world- and of staying with each other. Envy vowed to himself that if these 'coins' parted them; the Loll would live to regret it.

Ed found himself and Envy in front of his old home, rebuilt. Shocked, Ed found himself moving toward it, pulling Envy along behind. Ed looked around, seeing the changes- yet not understanding…

"How?" Ed whispered, awed.

"Maybe the Gate really does take you back in time." Envy teased, yet half serious.

"What do we do?" Ed asked, for once unsure of what to do. Envy nodded toward the door, an amused smile on his lips.

"Knock, maybe?" Envy suggested sarcastically, to his surprised Ed took him seriously- and before he could stop him- Ed had done as Envy had suggested. For Ed had nodded hesitantly, and knocked, loudly.

They heard muffled voices coming from beyond the door- and Ed hoped he wasn't about to meet himself as a kid. The door swung open- and Roy Mustang stood at the door, a half dressed Al behind him.

Ed felt his jaw drop – his baby brother and Roy, together? That pervert – he was going to kill Mustang!

Ed was prevented by Al's shocked and pale expression.

"Brother?" Al whispered softly, eyes wide in almost disbelief- an almost hope.

"Hey, Al, I'm…back." Ed said slowly, because this wasn't his home, his home was with Envy. He knew his little brother wouldn't allow Envy to live in the same home as their mother had once lived in.

"Edward!" Al cried, and pushing his way past a shocked Roy, Al hugged his big (but still short) brother. Envy's expression was blank- he was happy for his lover, yet he didn't want to lose him.

Especially not to Roy – who was looking at Ed…oddly.

Roy switched his focus to Envy, and glared. If Envy was mortal- he might have been frightened.

"Ed what is he doing here, with you?" Roy hissed hatefully, bringing his gloved hand up- apparently ready to blast Envy with fire.

"Don't you dare Mustang! Besides, you've better have a good explanation of what you think your doing with Al…" Ed growled, Al backing away when he had noticed Envy's glare.

"With…. Al?" Roy hesitated, baffled -and Ed pounced- jumping the taller man and pinning him to the ground. Envy was amused, because Ed had done that to get Roy's gloves away from him.

Roy looked….intrigued, from his pinned position -which made Envy's good humor go away faster then a fly spotting a flyswatter.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Al demanded, and Envy sighed, he would keep his temper- just because these two (and everyone else Ed surrounded himself with) were fools did not mean he couldn't at least…tolerate them.

"Trying to prevent my 'death'," Envy stated, flipping a stray strand of hair in an annoyed fashion. "What does it look like?" Envy finished- only having Al raise an eyebrow at him.

"Why would he do that?" Al asked, clearly baffled. Envy smirked. Al had asked after all- if his answer caused Ed embarrassment (or Al) so much the better.

"To get laid tonight…Now…brother-of-my-beloved, where is your bath?" Envy's question caused Ed to pout at him, and get up off Roy (thankfully, or Envy would have…castrated him…) and when Al pointed in the proper direction Envy grabbed Ed's hand and was dragging him behind him.

"I'll explain everything later!" Ed promised his bewildered brother as he was dragged away by an eager to be 'clean' Envy.

Ed did indeed explain everything- from the coins to the red flowers, and their reaction to them. Roy looked intrigued but neither Ed nor Envy showed him what the coins looked like- so Roy wouldn't know what to look for if he ever broke in to find them.

Over the course of an awkward week (in which Ed learned – to his relief that Roy had been staying with Al as a friend- and they hadn't actually done anything 'like that') a house was built by Envy on the opposite side of the valley, yet still close enough for the two brothers to visit – if they wanted to.

The day the two moved in Ed had been carried bridal style over the threshold, and after an exhausting night the two lay curled beside each other, nearly asleep.

"It's good to be home" Ed murmured softly against Envy's skin. The other nodded, a small smirk on his lips, and together they fell into a deep sleep.

They dreamed of the red-star planet, and the black ocean and three moons that had brought them together.

And of the 'demonic' people who had brought them home.

The End

AN: This, believe it or not, was my first attempt at slash…and putting it up on hope you all enjoyed it!
