A/N: Hi guys, I took what has got to be the longest winter break in history, huh. I'm sorry about that and I am not going to commit to updating at a certain time because my teachers decide to make my life hell at random times so I am pretty sure I won't be able to keep deadlines. Plus, I found my OTP and needed to stalk them a little and kind of needed to read and write some fan fiction about them on a different site because Baekyeol is just to cute. Wow that was of topic, anyways, onwards with the story.
Envy groaned as his eyes fluttered open, a groan finding its way out of his hoarse throat. He looked up expecting to see the dark ceiling of his room back in Dante's mansion only to find that it was white and the room was blinding with light. His eyelids slammed back together trying to protect his fragile irises from. "Glad to see you are feeling decent enough to wake up," he heard a voice filled with an odd sort of innocence. He immediately tried to transmute his arm only to wince in pain at the very movement of his still human appendage. His eyes slowly opening to see a young boy standing next to one of the multiple machines hooked up to him.
"Who the fuck are you?" he menacingly interrogated, though his voice was to weak to be considered threatening. Shit, Envy thought to himself, I am practically defenseless, this kid could do whatever he wants to me and I wouldn't be able to save myself.
"Calm down, I am not going to hurt you. If I was I wouldn't off even waited for you to wake up in the first place and you know it," the boy amusingly stated, only receiving a harsh glare from Envy. The boy sighed, sweeping his long, black bangs out of his eyes before sitting down on the edge of Envy's bed opening a box filled with good looking food. "You are to weak to move so I am going to feed you and you are going to eat okay, Envy. I am Seung Daejin, your doctor," he murmured breaking open a pair of chopsticks before taking the food and pushing it against Envy's closed lips.
"You work for the goddamn alchemists why would I trust anything you give me, they could be trying to get rid of me," Envy bit back only to be silenced by the boy eating the very piece that was pressed against Envy's lips and they waited in a tense silence before Envy realized that the male in front of him wasn't going to die from food poisoning.
"Open up," Daejin then encouragingly cooed only to be cut of by Envy. The homunculi's lips were still pressed together as he tried to move his hand up to grab the chopsticks, the only result of this movement was for Envy's effeminate features to contort into a pained grimace his hand not at all moving. "Stubborn idiot, I don't know why you think you would be able to move, open up," the doctor said with more malice and Envy only glared at him refusing to listen.
"Why should I listen to you," Envy was starting to hate the boy in front of him so much, and that was when he saw what he wanted to see in the other male's eyes, submission. The power that coursed through his veins after seeing him render someone else helpless when he was in this state provided a high that Envy could never get tired of. That was when Edward walked into the room, making his way up to Daejin in short strides and smiling gently.
"Is he refusing to eat? Wrath actually looked a little hungry, why don't you go take care of him, Daejin? I'll get Envy to eat," Edward reassured as a hesitant Daejin excused himself from the room politely before going to tend to the other patients. "You shouldn't have treated Daejin like that," Edward harshly reprimanded. Envy felt an odd type of irritation pricking at him when he heard Edward defend the doctor like they were close. Envy only brushed it off telling himself that anything with Edward involved was irritating, not really taking the time to realize that his annoyance wasn't at Edward but at the doctor.
"Why are you standing up for that weakling anyway, pipsqueak?" he asked in his normal malicious nonchalance only to receive a glare from Edward.
"I am not short, and you are much weaker than Daejin in this state. Now then, you are going to eat all of this food whether you like it or not so open up," Edward ordered only to receive the same ignorance that Daejin had received. So, Edward being the brute he is, pressed down on one of Envy's various wounds and took the opportunity presented when Envy groaned in pain to shove food down into his mouth. He then used his hand to shove Envy's jaw shit and keep it shut until Envy swallowed the food. "So then, are you going to eat or do I need to force feed you? It's actually nice seeing you in pain for once."
"I'll eat," Envy growled out, his mouth open as he awaited the next bite from Edward. Edward busied himself with feeding Envy and trying really hard to not let a blush show on his cheeks. Wait why am I blushing? Do I… No I don't it's just that I have never fed anyone before that's the why, Edward argued with himself. Edward himself had come here searching for answers, and Envy was being extremely complaint so he figured he might as well ask. While pondering over which question to ask first, Edward was cut out of his thoughts by Wrath.
"Move," Wrath bit out, before grabbing the food and chopsticks out of Edward's hands. "I can feed Envy from here on out, we don't need an alchemist to help us." Envy only smiled happily at how much Wrath had grown since before, feeling guilty for thinking that Wrath had been a traitor. Edward only shot Wrath a glare which screamed 'make me' and was pushed of the bed, Wrath replacing his spot.
"Envy, I am really sorry. I swear I didn't tell anyone, I don't know how Dante figured it out" Wrath murmured guiltily, fumbling to pick up food with the chopsticks but finally picking some up and making the journey to Envy's mouth without dropping any. Envy only ruffled Wrath's hair a little, smiling while eating the food Wrath was feeding him.
"Well, now we are both outcasts so it doesn't matter how she found out anyway," Envy smiled continuing to let Wrath feed him. "Sorry you have to see me like this, brat," Envy said in his normal voice, only causing Wrath to smile. Edward was genuine taken aback to see a side of Envy like this, a side of him that seemed to care and even though Edward himself was oblivious to it, those little butterflies in everyone's stomach began to stir in his.
"What are we going to do?" Sloth asked worried, she thought she had Wrath wrapped around her finger and certainly wasn't expecting the smaller ones betrayal.
"Well, that's simple, there is no point risking any of you five trying to get those two back so they can be punished. We proceed forward with the plan and create more homunculi to fill in the gaps, if those two join forces with the alchemist's which I am pretty sure will happen, we destroy them when the opportunity provides itself. Envy is of no use, but Wrath could become a very obedient boy if the right course of action is taken so make sure that Wrath is not killed," Dante said flatly, staring out of their mansion with a sigh. I knew you were special the moment I first laid eyes on you Envy, I knew you were different, but I never thought that the difference was that you were more human, never in my wildest dreams. As Dante let her thoughts consume her as they often did in this mansion and Sloth took it as her cue to leave. She never really understood Dante but decided that all she could do was blindly trust the one that gave her life, after all who else was their for her to trust. Though even she felt that there were better solutions to Wrath and Envy's matter than this. Little did she know she wasn't the only one with these thoughts, for some reason Envy and Wrath were tearing apart Dante's little loyalty circle without even trying. Maybe it was because Envy was disproving the one thing that Dante had always preached to them, maybe it was because Envy was disproving the fact that homunculi could not love even if he himself was in denial.
