Edward woke up to a bright sunny day, in a hospital bed. Wait?! Why was he in a hospital bed? The fight flooded into his memory bank, and along with it the pain of his currently aching muscles. That damn bastard Envy, it's because of him that I am in such a pitiable state, Edward thought. That's when he remembered the previous night's experience, what the hell was that?!, he wondered. It must have been a dream, there is no other way that could possibly happen, he thought to himself, no way in this world. He and Envy were arch-enemies, there is no way that he would ever repent hurting me. Though, the pathetic image of Envy's tear ridden face stuck in Edward's mind. Could Envy really care? Was there even the remotest possibility that there could be a heart under all that coldness. Even the thought of that scared him, but at the same time he felt another emotion rise up inside of him, he couldn't figure out what it was though. Love didn't feel this warm, it didn't make you slightly dizzy. As he puzzled over these thoughts, everyone's favorite humonculus was busy explaining his actions.
"What do you mean you were worried sick about me? That isn't very believable seeing as a few hours ago you were using your alchemy to torture me," Envy retorted at Wrath, who looked on the verge of tears.
"I only did what mommy told me to do," Wrath muttered, he felt horrible for harming his one and only role model, but he had to admit he was even more awed by Envy's capabilities than before. Envy was probably the only one who could last that long with humonculi surrounding him and wanting to hurt him badly. He was probably the only one who would take the pain and not beg for his life. Wrath felt the first tear slip down his cheek and silently felt the rest of them follow, the guilt he felt was immense and he knew Envy would probably never forgive him, following that thought a small sob slipped through his lips. He quickly shut himself up though, and watched silently, tears still streaming from his eyes as Envy turned to leave. "I saw you with Edward," Wrath blurted out in an attempt to get Envy to stay.
"Oh really now did you?" Envy turned around abruptly, a questioning yet somewhat sinister gleam entering his eyes. "You had better not tell Dante, that hag probably wouldn't believe me if I told her my real reasons, I don't want to get punished again," Envy muttered murderously.
"What were you doing though?" Wrath asked Envy, though the hardened gleam in Envy's eyes was answer enough, he wanted to break Edward, but hoe he would manage to do that by being kind to him evaded Wrath completely.
"None of your business, brat," Envy muttered as he stormed out of the room. Envy remembered the way the pipsqueak had crumpled the night before, how pathetic, he thought to himself as he exited the room. Maybe I should go pay him another visit, just to see if he remembers me, and with that thought he was off, heading back to the hospital were his pipsqueak awaited his return, not.
Edward was shaken awake by a hand striking through his hair, it felt so calming that he might have even snuggled into it a little before opening his eyes ever so slightly to see who it was. His bleary eyes could only register a pair of amethyst eyes staring into his own. Wait, amethyst eyes, he jolted awake, adrenaline coursing through his veins and expecting to find a knife held at his throat. Instead all he found was a deadly humonculus sitting at his bed side with a tray full of dielicious looking food.
"Did you miss me, I hope yesterday nights visit didn't harm you," the humonculus soothingly cooed, his vioce surprisingly close to Edwards ear, causing Ed to shiver a little. That was real, Ed's mind reeled with realization, it wasn't a dream.
