A/N:Hey, I'm back again! I'm accident prone DX I not only have tendonitis, but I also have mirgraines, and trip on things alot... so that explains my absence. That , and my computer has been away so that it could be fixed! BUT to make up for it, this chapter is FREAKIN long. Thanks for reading, and to my loyal reviewers::
YukinoKara- Thanks! The title is Broken CYDE, which is a band. My sister's friend made a CD with a bunch of songs by them on it. Its screamo and rap. The one I listened to the most when writing chappie 5 was Freaxx. Im not sure if thats the real name, but that's what my sister said it was.
SummerWolfSpiritWriter- Hehe, the exploding snails was my favorite part to write. I couldn't think of something that you could explode that wouldn't have made any noise or leave like a big bloody mess behind. So, hence, the snails! Plus, I kind of had that happen to me, only it was slugs. Very nasty, especially when it happens first period. And I have 6 periods at my high school. Torture D: I dont have another concert in store for about two, maybe three chappies ;D Also, if you think theres a song that Envy absolutely MUST sing, I'll make sure that Invidia sings one of the songs you sent.^ ^ Thanks again for your help!
TheWhammy'sBoysAreACircus: I know that I have some issues in my writing...my teachers always say that theirs not enough detail...but i've been trying...i really have. i know its not the best and its a bit quick at times, but maybe its just my style? Idk im still kinda new to writing fanfictions. But yeah, tenth grade is killer. especially when your in the highest classes i have like three hours of homework and like three essays every week...but even though most of it is off on the whole balance thing, its ok for a first ed/envy?
wishfulliving89: true dat. lol thanks.
Friday, October 6th
+8:45 AM, Ed and Envy's First Period+
"Hey...hey, Envy..." I think I felt someone poke me. That person, shall lose his finger.
"EEEEEnnnnvvvvvYYYYYY!" Someone was definately trying to wake me up.
"1...2...3..." More poking.
"Envy, if you don't wake up, I'm going to poor some ice down your shirt."
"I'M UP!" Damn chibis...mumble mumble ... threatening to pour ice down my shirt...mumble mumble...
"Finally. We've been trying to wake you for a half hour already. Sensei's gone."
"Could you have at least let Ling wake me? Or been nicer?" I directed the last part to Ed. I sat up all the way and glared at him. Well, I attempted to glare. It just turned into a pathetic smirk. Stupid chibi. Why does he have to be so damn cute? It's like he just loves torturing me or something...
"So Envy, are we still on for that party tonight?" Roy asked.
"No dip, Sherlock." I answered. "This is the annual October party, we only have it, say, twice every year. In OCTOBER."
"Just making sure you're not gonna back out on us." Roy said.
"When have I ever backed out on the chance to have a party?" Never, that's when. And besides, its at my house.
"Hey, can I come?" Oh Edo. Poor, poor Edo.
"Ed, you're not only coming, but you are a VIP." I said with a slightly seductive tone and then added a wink. I saw a blush form on his cheeks. Bingo!
"Wha-what? Why?" Ed squeaked.
"'Cuz, you're my date!" I said. "Now, be a good chibi and give me your lap for the next ten, fifteen minutes." I twisted in my seat and layed down so that I could lie my head on his lap, my feet still touching the floor. I distinctly heard Roy and Ed talking, but for some reason, I was getting sleepy again. I had planned on faking going back to sleep, but what with Ed's warm lap and him stroking my hair, I just-wait. Wait just a minute here. Ed is stroking my hair? Now this is something I didn't expect. As much as I hate it when people touch my hair, this is possibly the best feeling ever. I did all I could to stop myself from purring, or rather, letting out a small moan each time his hand returned to the top of my head and went all the way down the strands of my bangs. It was heaven.
An then...the bell rang.
As I sat up, I promised myself that the person who came up with bells for school were going to die. Of course, that would mean I would have to revive them, but a little black magic never hurt anyone...
But anyway, as I was heading to my second period with Edo, I got the strange sense that someone was watching me. Well, it would have been strange to anyone but me. I'm used to it by now. Strange thing is though, it was really bothering me. I couldn't help but glance around nervously every few seconds. I think Ed noticed, but he didn't say anything. I kept walking, but I felt like I needed to run. We were almost to the door of Havoc's room when someone pulled me away from Ed. I turned around to see who it was, and was surprised to find... Yet another geek. A very familiar geek.
"Sheska, what do you want?"
"Envy, y-you have three o-overdue library books, Malice, Nightlight,and Erogon. You need to return the-."
"Oh my gawd. Really?" I could not believe she gave me that creepy feeling just so that she could tell me that I had overdue library books.
"Yes. Please return them as soon as possible." Ok, this girl is getting on my nerves. It's three frickin' books.
"Uh-huh. I'll return them when I find them. Bye-bye now dear." I walked into the classroom thoroughly pissed off and ready to sleep some more. I couldn't wait to have Ed stroking my hair lovingly again. I wiped the drool from my face.
"Guess what Class?" Havoc started when the bell rang. "Thanks to our lovely explosion yesterday, we now have no lab. So, go to the computer lab. Free period."
"LUCKY~~!" I semi-yelled. I dragged my little Ed to the computer lab. When we burst through the doors, I dove for the back corner. Upon sliding into the seat, I realized that my cushion was walking ever so slowly towards me.
"Edo...hurry up~!" I knew I was whining and making puppy faces, but dammit I want to sleep!
"I'm coming, i'm coming." He slid into the seat next to mine and then proceeded with logging onto the computer. I watched him intently as the computer opened his settings. How did I ever not notice that he has a picture of him and some other people at one of my concerts? I was tempted to prod, but you know...I was just too damn tired. So instead of talking to Ed, I turned towards my own computer and logged on. I smiled when a picture of my favourite band popped up. Ah, Scandal, how I miss your concerts and shows.
+Lunch Time+
I walked intoo the cafeteria, feeling kinda off.
Friends? Check
Backpack? Check
Food? Uh..no check for you.
"GAWD DAMMIT!" I yelled. Everyone looked up at me. I was so not in the mood for this right now. I flicked off the people and then sluggishly walked over to the table where we usually sit you know the one in the back of the cafeteria to the left, where no-one ever comes? Yeah there.. I sat down, slammed my head on the table, and then proceeded to do it again. And again. And again. I was about to do it yet again when someone slid a brown sack towards me. Directly in the line between my forehead and the dirty table. I looked at it and then realized what it was infact, MY LUNCH! I looked towards the person who had pushed it towards me.
"Eddi-poo, you're a lifesaver!" I squealed and hugged him.
"Yeah, I figgured that was why you yelled randomly the moment we walked in the doors." He smiled and sat down next to me. Apparently I left it in the computer lab and Ed had picked it up for me. As I tore open the bag, Ed pulled out a small book and started to read from it.
"What-cha readin'?" I asked.
"The basics of Human Phsyology and Alchemy." He replied without looking at me.
"Oh, I see. So what's it abou-wait. Where is everyone?" I glanced around, just now noticing that it was only me and the chibi at the table.
"Skipping." He replied and flipped a page.
"SHIT we were supposed to meet at the ice cream shop! Wait, why aren't you getting food, bean pole?" I should not have said that...
"I am NOT short and I am NOT hungry." He pouted alittle then put away his book. I looked over at him from the corner of my eye, then turned my head completely; I do believe my eyes were bulging from my skull.
"Did your stomach just growl, or is someone hiding a giant dinosaur in here?"
"Shut up! It was my stomach!" Ed growled at me.
"Here, eat this shrimpy."
"IM NOT SHO-" Then he realised I was indeed holding up a shrimp for him to eat. You should have seen the look on his face. It...was...EPIC. I could not stop laughing.
"SHUT UP, PALM TREE!" It was weird...Chibi was so loud. I have to admit, I laughed louder. After I calmed down a little, I wrapped my arm around his shoulders.
"So, my good friend, I have a concert tomorrow...Would you like to come?" I smiled at him.
"How much are the tickets?" He looked up solemnly. For a second I almost laughed again. But seeing the look on his face was enough to somber me down.
"For you my dear Edo, free. You have special priveledges. For everyone else, 20 bucks. Or more. Its supposed to be a benefit concert for some church." I seen him cringe when I said church. Quickly I added, "But its not at the church, its actually in Atlanta." I saw him relax.
"Ok. Wait, you're having this party tonight and then a concert tomorrow?" He looked surprised. But I have secrets.
"I have incredible stamina, chibs." I winked, then got up and skipped off to find Roy. When I got halfway to the lunch line, I looked back at Ed. He was looking up at me with his big eyes. I almost ran back to him and just hugged him... But that would be creepy. Plus I think I should calm down on the PDA. For chibi's sake. I have no reason other then that for not showing the chibi my affection. He probably didn't like it anyway. I turned back around so I didn't see his face. I continued walking towards the line until I heard some running foot steps and then was uncermoniously knocked to the ground.
"ENNNNVVVYYY!" I heard come from behind me. I shoved the person off me and pushed myself up. I was getting ready to knock someone out. Then...I saw who it was.
"WHAT. THE. FUCK. WRATH?" I swear, that boy will kill me. As I looked him up and down for any possible reason as to why he would need to skip school to tackle me in the middle of lunch.
"Envy, I need your hair straightener." He looked up at me. I can't believe it.
"You came all the way over here, tackled me, and probably gave me brain damage just to ask me for my hair straightener?" That little buttwhipe!
"NO! I didn't come alone!" At that point in time, I heard Edo yell something. "Oh shit." Note: Wrath is in deeeeeep shit.
"AL! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! My perfect little brother skipped class?" Wow...overreacting much, chibi?
"Brother...I-I can explain!"
"No, I don't wanna hear it!" For some reason, I got the feeling that chibi was up to something. Ed was pulling the dissapointented older bother look.
"The Al I know wouldn't do this! Al I'm so dissapointed in you!"
"B-brother i'm sorry! Really!"
"Naaah, im just kidding Al! I don't care if you do it every once in a while. It shows me your normal!"
"W-what? That's not like you brother!"
"Wrath! Why did you bring Edo's brother with you!" I asked. Ed's little brother didn't seem like the type to skip school.
"We were bored! And I wanted to straighten my hair!" said Wrath.
"MY STRAIGHTEN-ER IS IN MY BACK-PACK! GET IT AND GO BACK TO CLASS!"
"Yes Envy!" Wrath said in an annoyed tone. Ooh, that little boy was gonna get it!
"And take him with you!" I said walking back to Ed and Al. Wrath proceeded to walk to my back-pack and hence grabbed the straightener and was starting for the door when he grabbed Al's arm and pulled him along.
"See you after school brother!"Al said, waving at Ed with his free arm.
"See ya! AND DON'T SKIP AGAIN!" Ed yelled after them.
"OKAY...So that was interesting huh chibs?" I said winking.
"Y-yeah..." He said with a slight blush on his cheeks. He probably thinks I won't notice, but hey, we're talking about ME.
I laid my head on Eds lap once again. He looked down at me and smirked, then went back to reading his book. I honestly don't see what he sees in reading. I myself have not read anything that long in years. I felt myself drifting to sleep, and before I knew what hit me, Ed was dragging my sleepy ass to our third period.
Oh gawd... Me thinks it's time for a little skipping. Besides, I still have to plan that party.
"Edo, chibi-chan..." I looked up at Ed with my cute face.
"Yes, palm tree?" At this I think my eye twitched, but I ignored the comment for now.
"Will you fake sick with me, 'take me to the nurses office,' and then skip with meeee?" I stared into his golden eyes, pleading with him.
"Why?" He looked back into my eyes and I saw a small blush forming on his cheeks.
"'Cuz, I have to plan this party and I wont have enough time to get everything if I don't leave school early enough! Plus this class is boring!" I pouted.
"Fine. But you owe me. Story is that we ate some bad shrimp at lunch and don't feel good, okay? Okay." Then we started to walk towards the exit, acting like we were sick. A teacher came up and asked where we were going one time, but as Ed was about to answer I started fake gagging and ran to the boy's restroom, pretending that I had to throw up. I heard the teacher go back to class, then Ed came in and told me that it was safe. We continued to walk outside and then made a break for the parking lot.
"So chibi, would you prefer my mmotorcycle or your car?" I asked. Seeing as how we had parked side by side, It was easy to point to each vehicle. I saw him glance at my motorcycle, then back to his car. He started to take out his keys, but I grabbed his hand.
"On second thought, you have no choice. We're taking the motorcycle." I saw fear go through his eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't go that far over the speed limit. Tell you what, we'll put our bags in your car, and I promise that I won't go over 80." I smirked, trying to compromise something with Ed.
"Uhh...no." I promise you, I had a shocked look on my face.
"Then can I atleast drive your car?" I saw him shudder all of a sudden. I think he was trying to imagine me driving his car. Apparently his vision wasn't too good.
"Fine but you cant go over 70 unless we're on the interstate and NO insane tricks that could result in something happening to my car or you're paying for any repairs." I smiled.
"THANKS EDO~!" I semi-yelled and hugged him before jumping into the driver's seat. When I saw Ed hovering outside the door, I rolled down the window.
"Come on, i'm not gonna kill you! Please chibi-chan?"
"...Fine."
+Ten minutes into the car ride to the Mall+
"E...Envy...what are you doing?" Ed was glancing back and forth at our clasped hands.
"I'm holding your hand Edo."
"Would it kill you to stop touching me for more than a few minutes?"
"...We both know the answer to that question." I glanced at Edo. He seemed to have calmed down now that I was holding his hand.
"Oh really?"
"Oh, yes really. It's either this or I put my hand on your thigh and slowly inch upward 'till my hand rests on your di-"
"Envy! Pay attention!" I looked at the road and slowed down a tad to the actual speed limit right before rounding a corner where a cop was sitting on the side of the rode behind some trees.
"Thanks, Edo. I'll be sure to give you a kiss when we get out."
"No thank you." And with that, the rest of the car ride to the mall was spent in silence.
+5 O'clock p.m.+
"Suppose I should call chibi and see if hes still coming..." I said and walked over to my computer desk. I grabbed my cell phone, opened it, and scrolled through the numbers until I found Ed's number. I dialed it and waited.
Ring...Ring...Ring...
"Envy, if you're calling to harass me about the mall incident again, I swear I'll-" My beloved Chibi's voice came over the other end of the phone.
"Edo! Are you still coming to the party!"
"Uhm...yeah."
"YES!"
"One question. Are you going to sing?"
"Chibi..."
"Yeah?"
"Why would you ask me that?"
"Umm... I don't know?"
"Of course I am!"
"Yeah...I knew that!"
"Sure you did chibs. Sure you did. See you at six!"
"Yeah... see you at six. Bye."
"Bye." I hung up my phone after I heard the click on the other end. I hate hanging up before the other person. Its a pet peeve of mine. But anyway, I quess I shall try to do some of my homework before Ed comes over. Orrr...I could get Wrath to do it... Nah. I don't have enough money on me to bribe the brat. I waddled my way over to my backpack and grabbed the notebook inside. Ugh. First came math homework...
+30 minutes Later+
"ERRG! I GIVE UP!" I yelled and slammed the notebook shut. I just don't see how people can do this stuff for hours on end without going insane! I mean, really! It's fucking hard and boring as hell. Edward, my poor, poor chibi, I feel bad for you. I agree with dogs: Homework should not be turned in. Speaking of dogs...
"Yo Wrath! Get the damn dog!" I yelled through the intercom. Yes, our house has an intercom. Just like Ed's. Anyway, Wrath has a dog if you couldn't already tell. Its an Akita, which came from Japan. I don't remember its name. I don't see it that much other then the times when she gets loose and crashes into me. But anyway, I have to go downstairs and start decorating. On my way down the stairs, I stepped into the closet to get all my decorations. Only to find them not there. I bet that runt took them again. He does this every year! If it weren't for the fact that killing people was illegal, he'd be dead. Well, maybe not since I love the kid so much. I mean really, he's adorable. When he dosn't take my stuff. I conitnued my way down the stairs, scowl on my face. As soon as I walked into the kitchen, Lust pointed towards our ballroom. I gave her an inquizitive look, then proceeded down the hall. I walked down the hallway mumbling to myself. What was I mumbling? Hell, I don't even know. It was a mix between german, japanese and english. So yeah... Then I reached the ballroom. I opened the doors and-
"SURPRISE!" It took me all of three minutes to realize that Wrath was glomping me and jumping excitedly while blabbering on about some great deed he'd done.
"Uhm...slow down?" I have this condition, see? Its called LBS. Little brother syndrome. In these cases, you become absolutely deaf in one or both ears when your little bother I mean brother is around. And mine is especially nasty. Wrath is just too hyper and adorable for me to be able to pay attention when he's like this.
"I DECORATED FOR YOUR PARTY TONIGHT EN!" Wrath shouted. He had this huge grin on his face.
"Heh?" I looked around. The huge room was filled with dark green streamers hanging from the roof, (my face: 0o0) snack tables with the same dark green table covers in the far left corner, the stage in the middle of the wall as you walk in was covered with black and green balloons, some were floating on strings and others lay on the ground. Long dark green curtains hung from the cealingand pooled at the floor. On either end of the stage hudge speakers were placed. Attached to the ceiling was a cage filled with the same black and green balloons, only these looked like they were filled with something more...ominous...than air or helium. Note: Check them out later. Also on the stage were three large screens, each showing a music video or pictures from the previous years. Mostly from my other parties. Oh, good times, good times. I could also see laser lights at the base of the stage and placed on the roof in front of the ballon cage. They weren't on of course. Everwhere you looked there was black and green. On the far right side of the room was a hudge buffet table with ballons at each end. In the front of the stage the floor curves down so that when you walk up to the stage your going down hill. In the middle of the room was the dance floor also covered in ballons. I walked into the middle of the floor then looked up there were new lights hanging up as well as strob lights and a disco ball. I looked back around me, chairs were lined up allong all the walls and they had green and black cusions on them. I turned around and looked toward the door at Wrath.
"Do you like it Envy?" He asked me.
"Uhm...for the first time in years, I was speechless. All I could do was gape at him. He started to pout.
"I...i'm speechless Wrath..." He looked at me funnily. (is that even a word?) It was now my turn to glomp him. He screamed at my sudden movement but then started laughing when I tickled his sides.
"S..sto...stop!" Wrath could hardly contain his cute little giggles.
"Fine! Thanks so much Wrath! Oh, how I love you, brother of mine!" I spun him in the air like I used to when he was smaller. Funny, he still weighed about the same. Mental note: Feed Wrath more. I walked over to the buffet table and noticed the foods that Wrath had placed on it. He had placed on one end of the table pizza, pigs in a blanket, tostita pizza rolls, Chicken wings and dip, mini sub sandwitches, hot dogs and hamburgers, platers with ham cheese and crkers on them, large bowls of assorted chips and smaller bowls of dip, toward the middle of the table there was a large bowl of punch with small and large cups aournd it, farther towered the other end of the table were deserts of all kinds anything you could imagine, Strawberry shortcake, Fruit salad, pies, cupcakes, doughnuts, brownies, cookies, Tripple tier chocolate cake, chocolate covered strawberrys, pudding and jello, mashmellow treats, and poundcake, plus many more. I stopped and looked at my watch. 5:50. Ten minutes till the party. Shit. I still have to get dressed, find music, plan my entrence, get the panthers out, fix my make up and get Wrath into his clothes. Nine minutes. I ran out the door turned off the lights and noticed light still comming from the room. I turned around and seen that the new lights were blacklights. Sweet.
"Nice. Now Wrath! Get dressed!"
"What do I ware!"
"Come on!" I say draging him behind me and up the stares to my room. Seven minutes.
"Here!" I say throwing some clothes at him. I pulled some stuff out for me to ware and quickly threw it on. I ran over to my make up and fixed it up. Six minutes.
I ran over to my desk pulled out whatever cds were on top and ran out of the room. On to the panthers! Five minutes.
I got the panters and walked them to the ballroom and into their new cages. Then my phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Envy! let me in! "
"Chibi?"
"Yeah. Let me in? "
"Ok! On my way!" I hung up. Four minutes. I haven't planned my entrance yet!
"ChibihicomeinumIneedyourhelp!Planmyentrencerealfa st!IneedtofindWrathhurry!Twominutes!" I say super fast. "AHHHHH!"
"What?"
"Sorrycan'ttalkrightnowgottago!" I say running off to go get Wrath.
"Wrath!" I say skidding to a halt and running into the wall. "Go stand at the door and greet people!"
"Why?" He looked at me like I was insane.
"BecauseIsaidsodon'taskquestions!Gottago!" I say runnig again to the ballroom. One minute. Entrance.
"URRRGH! WHAT DO I DO?"
"Envy!" Ed shouted at me. I jumped ten feet int the air then ran over to him as fast as I could.
"Chibi! You scared me!"
"I thought of an entrance! This is what you will do..." 30 seconds. Done.
+ Outside, My POV +
The various teenagers were standing outside, waiting to be let in. Wrath was running around trying to put up a rope fence thing, you know like they have around the the red carpet or in lines for clubs? Yeah, that. Anyway, Wrath finally got all the lines hooked up and was moving the gothic looking clothes and brightly glowing glow sticks. He managed to get them all into one neat, quiet line. Hahahaha...Quiet. Right. Promptly at 6 o'clock p.m., Wrath opened the door and started letting people in, not even checking for invitations.
+Somewhere backstage, Ed's POV+
"But why do I have to take part in YOUR entrance?" I was being twisted, turned, and jostle around like a young kid getting dressed up for picture day at school. And what's worse, he had me changing into a skimpy outfit. Like, no shirt, short skort, bare feet, a couple arm bands. And then he took my hair down. Fun. Not.
"Oh, just shut up. We're on in like, 5 minutes." Envy Was dressed in similiar attire, but with a half shirt that had no sleeves and a turtleneck. Strangely, it suits him.
"Well can I at least have something to cover my arm?" I'm still kinda concious about the scars. He rummaged around for a bit and pulled out a shoulder length black glove. Do I even wanna know why they have these? After I slipped it on, I realized it was finger-less. He appeared to be in thought, then he threw me a shirt similair to his and some suspenders. I put them on and then watched him walk over to the cages. I couldn't tell what was in them, but I realised that it was some sort of large cat since it purred when he bent foreward and scratched his head. He let them come out and then I realised that they were panthers. Lovely.
"Jewel, Malice, I'd like you to meet my dear friend, Mr Edward Elric. Be nice to him, will you lovies?" He walked over to the curtain and loooked out to see that almost the entire room was filled with people. He looked over at my brother, who was going to be the DJ, and nodded his head to signal that we were ready. I heard Al announce that the party was going to be starting then I heard him announce Envy and I. We walked out onto the stage, panther's following us, and confetti shot around us. Next thing I know, we're starting my plan. It took me a moment to realise that we were not singing an Invidia song, but we were actually singing a Timbaland song.
So pick it up, pick it up, yeah I like you
I just can't get enough I got to drive through
Cause it's me, you, you, me, me, you all night
Have it your, way, foreplay
Before I feed your appetite
Envy started dancing along to the beat, and soon, I found myself singing and dancing next to him, not caring that I was wearing a skort and such weird clothes. I have no clue why, but this is much more fun then I expected. I looked over towards Envy, who seemed to be having fun riding one of the panthers. so while he was singing his part of the song, I wondered over to the other panther and started petting her head. As I walked back towards the middle of the stage before my part came up, the panther decided she was gonna follow me. Seeing as how this is a naturally wild animal, this kinda scared me a little. But when I looked back, I saw that she was wagging her tail and sitting at my heels like a puppy. She lolled her tongue at me and the corners of her mouth perked up into a smile-like look. I sat my hand on her head and rubbed in between her ears.
Let me walk into your body until you hear me out
Turn me on, my baby dont you
Cut me out
Turn me on, my baby dont you
Cut me out
Take my order cause your body like a
Carry out
Let me walk into your body until it's lights out
Turn me on, my baby dont you
Cut me out
Turn me on, my baby dont you
Cut me out
As our little song ended, Envy traveled towards the front of the stage and started yelling at everyone to be quiet. When everyone finally calmed down long enough for him to talk to the entire room, I saw his sisters and brother walking in the door. Then a bright green light flashed in my eye and I realised that I was now the only one on stage except the panthers and Al. I glanced around and saw Envy waving at me from behind the curtains. I ran over to him with the panthers following me. When I got behind the stage, Envy smiled a huge grin at me, then dragged me to his backstage closet again.
"Would you like to change, or ya wanna stay in that all night?" He asked, grinning like the chesire cat.
"Uh, I'd kinda like to change. Or put some shoes on. something." I felt a ta bit naked with just this skort, half shirt and arm glove on. I of course was too preoccupied with my lack of clothing to notice that Envy had began digging through the chest of clothes and was pulling out what seemed to be a bright blue military uniform. He threw it at my head and almost knocked me backwards. I growled at him.
"What is this?" I looked at the uniform.
"Its something one of my friends gave me a few years ago. It was too tiny for me but it fit Wrath. You two are about the same size."
"I AM NOT SHORT!" I yelled at him. I huffed, but began putting the uniform on anyway.
"I never said that chibi. Oh, and If you want your actual clothes back, you have to find them. Good luck, Edward~!" And with that final word, Envy disappeared off the stage and into the crowd. Great. I felt a little weird in this uniform. It felt too...familiar. And not the good kind of familiar. But I guess it can't be helped. I decided it was going to be too hot for the uniform, so I took off the pants and left the skort on, then I unbuttoned the jacket so that the half shirt ws showing. I had long ago taken off the arm glove. I tied up my hair in a loose ponytail, and decided I was presentable. I walked back out onto the stage and then proceeded down the stairs to go find someone to talk to. Half the people here I didn't recognize, but I heard more than a few cat calls and some familiar voices shouting at me. I could feel my face turning red. Right about the time I was going to go find Envy, I heard one of my favorite songs come on. What was it?
Come on. You should now this.
Who's my favorite singer? Durr.
I smiled and glanced over at Al. He smiled and waved at me. He knows me better then I know myself sometimes. I started moving to the beat. I know I was attracting some stares, but I just love this song so much! My hips were swaying, and thing is that I didn't really didn't care how obviously gay I looked right now. I noticed that some people were beginning to dance along as well. I didn't feel as stupid, although I know I was still being stared at. I felt surprisingly good though. I swayed my way through the crowd and towards my brother so that I could thank him, but was intercepted by Envy, who grabbed me and started to dance with me. I smiled up at him. He smirked. The song ended, though, and he had to let go of me. I started to walk towards Al again, when someone grabbed my wrist. I thought maybe it was Envy, but the hand was much to small and soft. I turned around to see a girl from one of my classes. I don't remember which one shes from though... I think her name's Martel? ANyway, she motioned for me to go through the door to the left of where we were. I obliged and followed her through the door. I was surprised when she closed the door, seeing as how it was nearly soundproof.
"So what was that?" She looked at me with her arms folded across her chest.
"What was what?" I dont like be interrogated by people that I hardly know.
"You dancing with Envy? Don't play dumb, Ed." She scoffed at me.
"Uh...I dont know. He was the one who initiated the dancing, not me." Stupid girls. I bet she likes Envy or something like that. Shes preobably gonna tell me to stay away from Envy.
"Well dont get to comfortable with him. I dont care who you are, hurting my brother is unnacceptable." Yepp, just as I thought. Wait. Brother? HEH? I gave her a look like, 'What the hell are you talkin about?'
"Envy and I are practically related. We've known each other since he moved here, and we were pen pal's before that. I have watched him go through so much pain, and I dont want something like that to happen to him again. He's a good kid." She sat down on a chair. I kinda flopped down on the floor.
"Do you now his real name then? I know its technically Envy, but he said that his mother had all their names changed when they moved out here."
"Yeah. Why should I tell you though?"
"Because I...I care for Envy, and it feels like I've known him for so much longer than just a few days. I mean, its like we have some previous, forgotten history together." At least, that's what it feels like to me.
"Well, I just want to make sure that you won't be like the rest of them." She stood up and walked over towards me. "Be good to him, 'kay?" After that she walked past me and out to the party. I stood there for a good five minutes wondering what the hell she had been talking about. After a while, I got tired of being alone so I walked out to join the rest of my party go-ers. When I walked out I saw that Al had changed it to a slow song. Instead of trying to find someone to dance with, I headed over to the food table.
Well, don't I look like the nerd. Standing by the food table, grabbing random food and drinking punch while everyone else dances. Nice Ed, nice.
Anyway, I was watching all the couples make google eyes at each other. I decided that instead of sitting here doing nothing, I was going to stir up some fun. I picked up some mini-cupcakes, ate them, and put the rappers on the table. When I got about 15 or so, I rolled them up in little balls. Picking the pairs of people who were the most lovey-dovey, I chunked them at them. They looked around like the balls were coming from the roof or something. Stupid people. About 10 wrappers later, I got bored and decided to go find the kitchen. I wandered out the huge doors which I assumed led to the rest of Envy's house. I wandered doqn the hallway towards where I heard voices talking. I walked for what seemed like forever, then finally reached what appeared to be the kitchen. Seeing no one, I decided to look in the fridge for any soda or something. As soon as I opened it though, I saw...it. And promptly closed the refrigerator door. Anyone who keeps THAT in their fridge, obviously does not know where it comes from. I moved on. I found another door, leading to a big room with a T.V. and a couch. What surprised me was that there was a giant bookshelf. It was like little lights went off and angels went "Ahhhhhhhh" in a high pitched voice. Not literally though. I raced over and grabbed the first interesting book I saw. I plopped down on the couch and opened to the first page. two hundred pages and an hour later, I finally decided to go bac and see what was going on at the party. I traced my steps back to the kitchen, where I saw Roy. He was on the phone with someone. I'm assuming it was his mother, considering the screaming comeing from the other end. I smiled and waved at him. I walked back down the never ending hallway back to the giant doors. There was some remixes playing of some of my favorite songs. I pushed my way through the crowd and got in the middle, then started dancing along with the beat of a remixed Tokio Hotel song. It was one of the few that I liked from the band. Being German, I couldn't help but admire them. But I also couldn't help but admire the lead singer. He never gives up on his singing. He was my original inspiration. But I'd rather not go into detail over that for now. I let the music guide my hips as they swayed in time with the song. Before long I felt someone come up and start dancing behind me. I didn't care who it was. I let my mind go blank;I heard nothing but the music;felt nothing but the beat of the music in my feet;heard nothing but the bass bouncing off the walls. At some point I started to grind with Envy, and I couldn't help but melt agaisnt him when the songs finally slowed down. I know that it's kinda weird for two guys to hug and slow dance together, but that's exactly what we did. Him, being taller, was of course leading me. Not that I was complaining. He placed his mouth beside my ear and whispered to me:
"Wanna go up to my room?" I nodded weakly into his chest. I was so tired that he had to carry me up the stairs. I could literally feel the bags under my eyes.
"Jeezus, chibi. When was the last time you slept?"
"Uhm, Wednesday morning?" I sat on his bed. It was so soft and comfy...
"What! That's not good for you Edward! You need to sleep. Why haven't you?" He came over and stood next to me.
"I just couldn't..."...Because I was thinking about you...
"Well, I guess you can crash here for the night. Seems like some of the things Wrath wears will fit you. The party will be over in about an hour. Think you can last that long?"
"No, prolly not. Not without some serious sugar." I laughed a little after that. I felt my eyes drooping and it was hard to sty awake.
"Well, here. Eat this." He threw me something shaped like a candy bar. It was chocolate. My favorite. I scarfed it down like no tomorrow. It always makes me hyper, so it was a good thing it kicked in right away.
"Ready? Good." Envy grabbed my hand and pulled me back down the stairs and back to the party. We scrambled back into the party just as Al was turning the last song on. He made a huge announcement too. THough, I was too busy focusing on Envy to understand it. I looked up at him. I got an idea. I made my way over to Al. When I reached him, I talked into his ear after removing the headphones. I told him to put on my mix. He knows what I mean. He put it on to play next. As the last song ended, he announced over the microphone that there was a last performance. I walked to the middle of the darkened stage. I heard the quieted talking of the people in the room. Al introduce me. As the first part of my mix began to play, I began to dance. I mixed street dancing with ballet here, and went from new to old, even doing the moonwalk. As the next song of my mix came on, my style switched to punk and krumping. I heard some whistles, and as the third song came on, I saw that Envy, Roy and Wrath were coming up on stage to dance with me. They all picked up the moves fairly quickly. From the splits to handstands, piques and spins, they seemed like they were having fun. By the end of te five songs, we were all a sweaty mess, and panting. The good thing is though, that we had fun. They were a big help to my routine. I smiled as I watched the people file out after the final farewell given by Envy. By the time everyone was gone, I was leaning heavily on Envy.
"Well, that chocolate certainly didn't last long." He smiled down at me. I barely heard Envy telling Al that I was staying over. As soon as Envy lifted me into his arms again, I was out. I put my head on his shoulder and passed out.
+Envy POV+
I smiled down at the smaller Elric. Well, the older, smaller Elric. He seemed so peaceful in my arms. His small cheek was resting agaisnt my chest, and he had one arm wrapped around my shoulders. I managed to get him upstairs and into some night clothes without waking him up. I was just about to crawl in bed next to him when Lust came in.
"Envy...is he...?"
"I don't know, Lust...I don't know..."
