Alphonse was thoroughly confused. Whenever he'd go to visit his brother he would find Edward in an increasingly flustered state. Sorta like how Edward was when they whenever Winry held his hand when they were younger. He would also find a tray, which at first was full of food but as the days passed became more and more empty until the whole tray had no food. He had also been seeing Envy more often. He had tried to catch the bastard but never caught him. Though once he had seen said humonculus leaving his brother's hospital room window and when he rushed in he surprisingly found his brother perfectly unharmed, and eating from a tray of delicious looking food. Alphonse was truly confused.
Edward sighed softly, Envy had been visiting him every day, and even though he still feared the humonculus, he had grown more comfortable talking with him. Envy was surprisingly fun to talk to, all the stories about what stupid things the other humonculi did when they were first created, what they had looked like, and occasionally snippets of his own life he had accidentally let out. Things seemed great right now, but he would soon be discharged and he wondered if he and Envy would go back to being the way they used to be. He remembered his first night at the hospital when his thoughts were just as consumed by Envy. Though during that time period he thought Envy would be his bitter enemy to the very end, but know he didn't mind spending time with the male. Though for some reason every time he shied away from Envy's touch he got annoyed at himself, but his fear was to great. To great to ever completely trust the serial killer completely ever again.
Envy was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling when Wrath walked in. "Envy?" Wrath questioned only to receive no response, he waited for the normal snide response but when it became apparent that he wouldn't receive one he realized the it meant that Envy wasn't going to open up to him. Whatever the other humonculus was thinking about, it must have been serious for he never lay that still or aimlessly. He walked up to Envy's bed a sat down on the edge of the bed, one hand curiously wandering to the edge of Envy's hair, stroking the end of the tendrils. He felt Envy jerk out almost immediately and could make out a few harsh comments thrown his way that he completely ignored, still wondering how hair that unruly could be so soft. The next thing he knew Envy got up and walked over to the window jumping out muttering something under his breath that sounded like, watch what you are touching, brat. Both of them unaware that Dante was doing some thinking for herself.
Dante stared absently out the window when she saw Envy exiting out of his bedroom window. Envy, she wondered what had gotten into her son. He left the house at the same time every day to visit the Elric brat. Had he developed an infatuation with the kid. That could be problematic, very problematic. It could ruin her whole plan and she didn't want that happening. She knew that Wrath might have a better clue to what was up with Envy, but it was clear that the child wan't going to say anything to her unless she forces it out of him and forcing anything out of children as young as hi would lead to a lack of discipline and order following when he grew older, and she didn't want that. Who is more temporary in my plan, she thought to herself, my oldest creation or the pawn that does all the right things at the right times as long as the scene is set up perfectly? As she pondered this thought she heard a knock on her door and opened it. Sloth stood there, it looked like there was something the female humonculus wanted to say.
Wrath was worried, he couldn't find his mother and desperately wanted to make sure that she was okay. He hadn't seen her in forever and was really excited to have her back, little did he know that soon his life would change drastically along with Envy's already changing life and his beloved mother was the main cause.
