Chapter 18 - Promises
The next morning Edward woke up comfortably snug in Envy's arm, his head comfortably rested in the crook of Envy's neck. Envy's arms were big enough to completely wrap Edward in them. It was very quiet and peaceful, he heard a light breeze sweeping across through the ship and waves hitting the edges of the ship but within an instant the cabin door burst open.
"WAKE UP YOU LOVEBIRDS!" Roy stomped in a huge grin on plastered his face.
"Go away." Envy mumbled, rolling over onto his stomach with Edward squashed between his arms.
Roy stomped over to the bed and yanked off the blankets covering them. Envy's naked backside stared at Roy but Edward at least had boxers on.
Edward scrambled out of Envy's grip and threw his clothes on. He could feel Roy's eyes watch him the whole time. He hated how people seemed to stare at him when his metal limbs were in plain sight, he knew how abnormal they were without people having to stare.
"Stop staring at them." Edward said sharply as he shoved his black sleeveless top over his head.
"Just admiring them Edo, not to be rude but they suit you make you more desirable." He winked at him.
"Chibi." Envy sat up in the bed, looking around the room his eyes dazed from sleep.
Edward sat on the edge of the bed, completely dressed "It's time to get up Envy."
Envy groaned at the thought but shuffled over to Edward, throwing his legs over the edge. He wrapped an arm around Edward's shoulders turning and pulling him in closer. Envy caught his lips forcing his tongue through Edward's slightly parted lips. He heard Edward moan but pulled away smirking.
Edward blinked, he watched Envy and Roy smirk at each other with a similar smirk unspoken words travelling between them. Both their eyes flickered for an instant at Edward one after the other, he was curious to know what about him they were thinking but then again he could kind of guess.
He wiggled out of Envy's arms and walked out of the cabin, the sun blinding him as he opened the door. He heard a lot of shuffling around, the deck was buzzing with activity.
Havoc was up in the crow's nest on the main mast keeping a look out.
Sloth, followed by a small bouncing ball of long wild hair, held a piece of paper. She was looking up an around at everyone then glancing back down at the piece of paper.
Edward laughed at how Wrath seemed to be chained to Sloth, most times he had seen the two together. Wrath seemed deadly to Edward because of how he can become so attaché to someone.
He walked forward from the cabin, the deck creaking beneath his feet.
The whole crew stopped what they were doing, smiles spreading across their faces and watched Edward.
Edward stopped in mid step at the sudden peaceful quiet that spread across the deck at his movement. He saw the pleasant smiles on everyone's face.
Izumi slapped a hand down on his shoulder, the same pleasant smile plastered on her face, "I had no doubt about you Edward."
He turned his smiling all the way to his ears "Thanks Izumi."
"Now you just gotta remember the rest of us." Hughes shouted across the deck.
Edward laughed, "Give me time, it's my whole life you're asking me to remember."
"Don't think we'll let you off lightly if you don't remember us Edo." Lust cracked her knuckles. "We're like a big family."
"I promise you all I WILL remember you all." Edward announced loudly.
Envy stood at the open cabin door, leaning against it and smiled. Roy standing just behind him.
--
Before he knew it the day had flown by. Edward had spent the day joining in on working around the ship, doing odd jobs here and there and asking everyone many questions about themselves, how they got here, why they decided to stay and a heap more.
He had leant that Sloth and Wrath were step siblings. Wrath had been abandoned by his parents when he was a few months old and Sloth took him in and raised him like he was her own child, she had been fifteen at the time but she didn't care, she wanted to give Wrath a home. That's why Wrath sticks to Sloth like glue.
Edward felt he could understand Sloth in some way.
Hughes apparently has a family that he can never shut up about, his wife Gracia, who Edward couldn't remember meeting, and small child Alicia live on the island and they have been married for 6 years. Havoc had let slip that Hughes and Gracia saw Edward as their son and they were devastated to hear of Edward's complete memory loss.
Edward sat down on the deck and with the back of his hand he whipped sweat from his forehead.
"You did good today Edo." Roy plonked himself down next to Edward.
"Felt like I haven't worked this hard in a while." He puffed.
"Dinners almost ready guys, go to the kitchen." Rose told them as she walked past them onto another group.
Envy bounced over to them and swept Edward up and off his feet, "Come on Chibi."
Roy followed close behind.
Down in the kitchen a table was set up and food was being placed on it, not as much as the previous night, and plates and cutlery at the ends. No tables to sit and eat at were set up but where ever there was a place to sit, floor or stairs.
Edward got a plate and took a bit of everything, he climbed back up the stairs and sat down in the same place as before on the deck. Slowly others came and sat down next to him, first of course was Envy who sat as close to his side as possible followed by Roy, Riza, Havoc, Hughes and Armstrong. Not too long after that the rest Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, Izumi and Rose joined them.
"Edo you have asked us questions all day but now we want to know....." Rose started but got interrupted.
"What happened to your arm and leg?" Armstrong finished Rose's sentence.
Edward gulped, he didn't want to recall what happened but he did want to tell them. He knew curiosity did get the best of people.
"Edward you have nothing to lose by telling us, we know some parts of what happened." Izumi reassured him.
Edward nodded, "I can't remember it completely but the house I think I use to live in was on fire, I'm not sure what started it. I wasn't even at the house when it started I was walking back from somewhere and the smoke..." he let out the breath he was holding.
"The smoke rose, thick black smoke. My brother was nowhere to be seen, I panicked then I heard a scream of agony from inside the burning house. I ran into the house and saw Al trapped red hot flames surrounding him from all directions, I jumped threw the flames yanked off some of my clothes and covered Al with them and jumped back through the flames. Once we were outside Al told me something and I rushed back inside but I can't remember why. I don't remember feeling any sadness about losing the house for some reason and I can't even remember getting out again." Edward looked down at his hands in his lap.
"You lost your arm and leg in the burning house." Edward heard Rose mutter from across the circle.
Edward nodded and continued, "I didn't like the thought of having no arm or leg." He flexed his metal hand. "As soon as I was free to go from the hospital, Al took me to the house of this little old woman and a girl the same age as me. They were these special kind of mechanics, Al told me the old lady had just finished a project of these metallic limbs called auto-mail."
"Pinako Rockbell." Roy said.
"The only thing I can remember of the process is the pain, they connected the nerves in my shoulder and thigh to the wires of the auto-mail." Edward ended.
Everyone remained silent.
He sat his plate on the deck, having barely eaten anything.
"Sometimes it is better not to know." Izumi voiced what was on everyone's mind.
"Yea I know, Al has told me not to dwell on it we are both safe and that is all that matters." Edward smiled, getting up from the deck.
Envy watched Edward 's every move as he made his way across the deck and down the stairs. He got up and soundlessly followed Edward.
Edward walked through the small dining area near the kitchen, through the kitchen to this small broom cupboard at the very end of the kitchen. He opened the narrow door, there was nothing in it and had just enough space to fit Edward in it.
Envy watched Edward open the door and just stand there for a few minutes before entering into it and leaning his back against the dusty wall. He leant his head back against the wall silent tears running down his face.
Envy walked through the kitchen, he saw Edward's head turn towards him, sadness flooding across his face.
"Just give me a second." Edward whispered more tears leaking from his eyes.
Envy halted at the door, he wanted to lock his arms around Edward but he knew the small boy needed to rid his mind of the images that most likely ran through his head.

Out on the dark sea a small ship concealed in the ocean's mist floated a fair distance behind a larger ship in the distance.
"Early tomorrow morning they are as good as dead." A sly voice swept across the ship.
"They won't know what hit them." A sickly innocent girly voice laughed.
In the shadows golden yellow eyes shone brightly from the little moonlight that shone through the clouds covering the sky. The clouds floated across the sky uncovering a full moon, the moonlight exposed the shadow of the figure with the golden yellow eyes.
A smaller figure walked out from behind an object on the ship and stood next to the taller figure, staring at the larger ship slowly sailing further from them.
