Friday was fun in sex ed, sure, but what Edward had been looking forward to all day was not (for once) the class. No, it was his night with Envy. Currently, he was situated outside of the other boy's house, and was more than ready to walk in…except a certain adoptive father of his was being irritating.

"Roy, calm down, I don't see what the problem is," Ed sighed for the umpteenth time.

"I just don't like it," the man beside him said again, scowling at Envy's house. "In school is one thing, that I allow so you can fuck around with the proper precautions, but here…"

Edward rolled his eyes, popping the idling car's door open. "It's fine, Roy. I told you, it's just a movie. Besides, shouldn't you be glad I'm actually into this guy, not just his ass?"

"I just don't want you fooling around without being careful. I know how it is to be a teenager," Roy reminded him. "I'm not stupid, you know."

"I do know," Ed agreed, stepping out of the car. "Which is why I know better than to do anything you don't want me to, okay?"

Roy shook his head good naturedly, and Edward grinned. Yeah, the man could be a bit irritating, but Ed knew he cared. "I'll be here at eleven to pick you up."

"Alright, Roy." With that, Ed shut the door, spinning around and trying to walk at a normal pace to Envy's front door, with only mild success. Within seconds the green haired boy had opened the door. "Hi," Edward breathed, butterflies taking flight in his stomach.

"Get in here," Envy replied simply, grabbing Ed's hand with a grin and shutting the door. Dimly, Edward heard Roy's engine revving and receding. "Pizza's already here, it's nothing fancy, but if you ask me that, a movie, and a tiny couch is better than some restaurant."

Edward didn't miss the emphasis on the couch, and he flushed lightly as he followed Envy down the hall and into an entertainment room of sorts, with a large TV faced by a few chairs and a loveseat, along with a coffee table piled high with cheesy goodness.

"Where is everyone?" Ed asked, pulling off his boots and placing them carefully by the couch. "Your dad, siblings…?"

"I kicked everyone out," Envy joked. "Next time you can meet them, but I thought they might scare you away if they were all here tonight…"

"Psh, I could have handled it," Edward asserted. The other boy only rolled his eyes before walking over to the TV, flipping it on.

"What movie?"

"Doesn't matter," Ed replied honestly. He didn't particularly care what they watched, it was just going to be nice to sit around with Envy.

"Well, what genre? Comedy? Action? Horror?"

"Hmm…" Edward thought. "Either action or horror. I can't eat while I watch comedy, I'll choke."

Envy snorted at that. "That's encouraging. Alright, let's go with a horror." He flipped through the movies at a breakneck pace, finally settling on Mama. "Have you seen this one?"

"No," Ed answered, reading through the summary on the screen. Little girls abandoned in a cabin, only to be found and followed home by a motherly ghost with vengeance issues… "Sounds creepy."

"Perfect!" Envy cackled, hitting the play button and plopping down on the loveseat. "C'mere."

Smiling, Edward walked over and sat in the offered seat, curling into Envy's side after a moment's hesitation. The other boy threw and arm around his shoulder and rubbed his arm gently, a sweet gesture that only made Ed's grin widen.

"Pizza?" Envy offered, leaning forward slightly to snag a piece.

Ed nodded, mirroring the action, eyes already glued to the screen, where a man was wandering into an old, rickety cabin in the middle of the forest with his two children. Stupid. Everyone in horror movies always made the worst decisions.

Slowly, the pizza dwindled, and the movie became more and more eerie. Though Edward was no newbie to horror flicks, they always did weird him out a bit, and he found himself pressing closer to Envy as time went on. The other boy, unfazed by the ghosts on screen, didn't seem to care at all, his hand wandering faithfully up and down Ed's arm in a soothing motion.

As the movie came to a climax, Envy's hand wandered a little further, playing in Edward's hair, on his cheek, his side and stomach, the top of his thigh…Ed barely managed to concentrate long enough to see the end of the movie, and then the credits began to roll and the green haired boy's hand was heavy on his leg. Edward turned, eyes sparkling, to meet Envy's gaze. "Like it?" the other boy asked playfully. Ed couldn't quite tell whether he meant the caresses or the movie.

Either way, the answer was the same. "Yep."

"Good," Envy murmured, bringing his face down to Ed's. Edward grinned, enjoying the feel of the other boy's mouth on his, the secure arms that wrapped around him. As expected, the kiss soon turned heated, with Envy pushing his hands up Ed's shirt and Edward tangling his fingers in that lovely green hair.

"Mmm…Ed…"

Heat rose in Edward's cheeks as he realized that there was no one there. They were all alone, on a too-small sofa, pressed together, and there was no Mr. Nichols who was going to come in and tell them to separate. Even Envy's family was gone. And that meant there were no boundaries.

Heartbeat racing at the thought, Ed pushed against Envy even harder, whimpering into the other boy's mouth. He wasn't quite sure if he was trembling from nerves or excitement, but his quivering made Envy tighten his hold, laughing lightly as he made his way down to Edward's throat. "It's a little weird, you know, being turned on by a horror…"

"Not the horror, stupid, you," Ed corrected, grumbling—though his complaints quickly turned to whimpers at the feel of Envy's lips on his neck. "Ah…"

Grinning, Envy pulled away just enough to slide his hands under Edward's shirt, pushing it up and over his head—

"EDWARD ELRIC!"

Ed jerked back, wide eyes falling on a red faced Roy, who was standing in the doorway with his arms folded. "Roy…?"

Scowling, the man barked, "11:30. I waited, but you didn't come out and didn't call, and the door was open—no wonder you're late, if you're this distracted."

Roy's tone was one Edward knew well, quiet and menacing. He held up his hands. "Hey, sorry, I'll admit, I wasn't looking at the time. But it's nothing serious."

The only response Ed received was a stone cold glare, directed first at him and then at Envy. He gulped—that was not a good sign. If Roy was too angry to say anything…he was really in for it later. Edward sighed, deciding the best thing to do would be getting out of there. "Can you just give me five minutes? I promise I'll be out by then."

The man ground his teeth, thinking, but seemed to realize there was nothing Ed could do within just five minutes. "Only five, and then your ass is going back home."

Edward didn't release the breath he was holding until he heard the front door shut. Envy, sounding faint beside him, breathed, "Who was that?"

"Roy," Ed began, pulling his shirt back down and standing up to straighten himself out. "Remember, I told you my parents are gone? Roy's my adoptive dad."

"So…we were just cock blocked…by your father…in my house," Envy summarized, still seeming shell shocked. "That's insane. I don't know how you put up with the guy, he's psycho."

"Nah, he just worries about me and Al. I mean, it's irritating in situations like this," Edward admitted, pulling Envy to his feet and out of the room, "but it's just because he cares, so I get over it."

"You're much more tolerant than I am," Envy laughed, stopping by the front door. "Are you going to be in a whole lot of trouble?"

Ed debated that for a moment. "No, probably not," he replied after a few seconds. "Roy's really not as uptight as he sounds, he'll be okay with me by the time we get home." Poking Envy in the stomach, Edward added teasingly, "I'm not sure about you, though. I don't think that was a very good first impression."

Sighing theatrically, Envy grabbed Ed's arms, pulling him close for a moment. "Well, interruption aside, tonight was nice," he murmured.

Beaming, Edward tiptoed just slightly to give the other boy a quick kiss. "I'll see you Monday."

"Call me before then," Envy pouted.

Laughing, Ed waved, opening the door as a car horn blared out, courtesy of Roy. "Obviously."

Just a note: I am aware that in Chapter 2, I said that Ed was living with Pinako and Winry. I have gone back and changed that because 1) this meshes better with other bits of the story and 2) it's way more fun to have an angry parental Roy, am I right? So yeah, just a teeny little change, nothing major.

Hope you enjoy~
