The end of the period bell rang signaling the end of the class. Ed put down his pencil. Envy blinked and leaned over Edward shoulder curiously. Ed caught this action and immediately placed himself over the paper, shielding it from Envy's curious eye. "What? I just want to see it." Envy told him. "No! It's not done. Plus, you'll probably make fun of me for it." Ed said lowering his gaze downward. Envy lifted up his chin. "I would never make fun of you Chibi." Envy said sincerely.
Ed's face burned. "Envy…I-Hey love birds, would you bring your work up here and get the hell out of here already!" Emily snapped at the two. They both nodded fearfully and dropped their drawings on her desk and ran out of the room, at top speed I might add. She sighed heavily. "Idiots…" She thought. Something caught her eye. She stared down at Ed's drawing of what looked like a deformed palm tree. "Is..that…Envy?" She questioned. "Wow this kid sucks at drawing, but who am I to judge." She thought. She looked at Envy's. Her eyes widened as she stared at it.
Envy's work was marvelous! Who knew he had so much talent! He seemed so detailed in his drawing of Ed. It was so precise, right down to the gleam in his eyes. Emily placed the drawing down and sat back in her seat shocked. "I could have never guessed. Envy of all people, was secretly so talented. Hmmm, you know Elric. You might just be the right person to guide Envy in the right direction." Emily thought looking down at the drawing.
Time Lapse
The lunch bell rang. Kids from all classes piled into the hallway. Ed desperately clung to Envy to prevent from getting lost. Envy just smiled at Ed's antics. They passed by the bathroom. "Wait Envy." Ed said. Envy stopped walking. "What's wrong?" Envy asked. "I have to go make a call. I'll be right back." Ed said and walked into the bathroom. "Okay Ed…" Envy said and leaned against a locker. Ed ran into a stall and locked the door. He dug into his pocket and pulled out his cellphone.
He flipped it open and dialed a number. He placed the phone by his ear. It rang on the other end. 'click.' "Hello Baby, What can I do for you?" A seductive voice asked. Ed took the phone away from his ear. "Eeew! Roy it's me!" Ed yelled. "Oh! Ed! Eeeeww!!! Sorry! I thought you were-"I know who you thought I was." Ed cut him off. "What are you doing calling me? Something wrong?" Roy questioned. "No, not really anyway. Except for I have insane teacher, one has a horrible temper, the one can't keep his shirt on for more then 5 minutes at a time without ripping it off. And then the other one wants to kill me!!!! But other then that I'm good. I made a friend with this guy named Envy." Ed told his friend. The line went silent.
"You have a teacher that is trying to kill you….and you met a kid named Envy? Is that school on crack or something?" Roy asked. "Hey! Roy be nice! Envy's done nothing but help me this whole time and be really nice to me. He's really nice and….and…." Ed couldn't finish his sentence, there to many things he liked about Envy. Like how Envy was always there for him, helping him out with finding his classes even though he was late to a couple of them, Envy was just so…Ed really didn't know how to describe it to Roy.
"So you like this guy I take it?" Roy inquired. "No….." Ed said. "Yes you do." Roy said with a smirk. "No I don't Roy! I haven't liked anyone since….." Ed trailed off. Both boys fell silent. "Look Ed, I told you I was really sorry about that, you know I care for you and everything just not like-I know okay! You told me a thousand times! I know we could never work out, that's why I'm not getting my hopes up about Envy. I don't want that to happen again." Ed said quietly as the tears began to build up in his eyes. "Ed…I.." Roy stopped. There was nothing left to say. This happened all the time when that was brought up.
"I have to go, Envy's waiting for me." Ed said, his voice cracking. "Okay Ed." Roy said. "Bye." And with that last word Ed hung up the phone, he turned it off and shoved it back in his pocket. Ed wiped his eyes of the tears and walked out of the bathroom. Envy looked up when he heard the door open. Something wasn't right when Envy looked at Ed's eyes. They held so much sadness and pain. Envy pushed himself of the wall and walked over to his Chibi.
Envy gave him a concerned look. "You okay Ed?" Envy asked him. Ed looked up at him and gave him a fake smile. "Of course Envy." Ed said. Envy looked at him hard, trying to tell if Ed was lying or not. Ed just kept smiling, praying to God that Envy would buy his charade. Envy gave him a spectacle look. "Alright, if you sure." Envy said giving up. He would get it out of Ed later one way or anther.
"Come on let's get to the cafeteria. I don't want to get the crappy food." Envy said and grabbed Ed by the arm, leading him towards the lunchroom. Once in the lunchroom after walked over to the line. Some people in the line moved to let Envy get in front of them. "What are they doing?" Ed asked. "Moving." Envy said simply. "Why?" Ed asked. "Cause they don't want to get beat up." Envy explained to him. "Why would they get beaten up?" Ed questioned. "Cause they wouldn't move and I would get angry." Envy said to him and handed him a tray. "Oh…" Ed said understanding the situation.
Envy placed food on Ed's tray, he called it the 'eatable food.' Ed didn't ask questions. After they had gotten their meals paid for they went to go find a seat. Envy spotted Greed and made his way through the crowd of people, little Ed following behind. Envy and Ed sat down at the table. "Hey." Greed said. "Yo." Envy replied back. "Hi." Ed said. Greed looked at him. "I see you still got the shrimp hanging off your shoulder." Greed remarked. Ed glared at him. "I told you watch your mouth." Envy bite out at him. "Put the claws away Envy." Greed said. Envy just glared harder at him.
Greed turned his head to the side and sipped at his milk. "Eeeew, how can you drink that crap?" Ed said disgusted. "What? Milk?" Greed questioned. "Yes, that's stuff so gross." Ed said. "That might explain why you are so short there Chibi." Envy said teasingly. "I'm not short." Ed remarked to him. "Yes you are. Now eat your food Eddy." Envy told him. "I'm not a baby either." Ed said and stuffed the food into his mouth. "Uh-huh." Envy joked which got him a glare from Ed. Envy just smiled.
Greed wasn't sure what was happening. Envy never acted like this. This was just not Envy. Envy didn't just smile and joke like this. It just wasn't possible really. Well at least to Greed it wasn't. Greed looked at Ed. Maybe there was something about this kid. Something that might do Envy some good. Greed would like to think it would work out, he actually kind of hoped it would turn out for them. Envy deserved to be happy for once and Ed just might be the person to make that happen. Greed just kept looking. Yeah, this Ed kid must be something special. Greed could only imagine the major impact he'll have on Envy in the future.
