Chapter 3: The Fun Begins
Envy sauntered the streets of Central after leaving Dante's mansion. He had to admit, being a cat was indeed bothersome – everything just seemed so big in his point of view. Heck even those irritating little kids that he used to terrorize when he was still normal were bigger than him.
"Watch it you fucktard"Envy yowled when some random guy suddenly ran past him, almost stepping on his tail. God! He swore he would make Greed pay for this – maybe he could ask Dante to turn that goddamn asshole into a rat – he'd gobble the little twit the first chance he gets.
"Hey there kitty, are you lost?" Envy suddenly heard someone coo from behind him. Honestly, If this was another one of those sniveling kids wanting to cuddle hi-well…well..well…if it isn't o'chibi-san's little brother. "Are you hungry…? You must be freezing…how about I take you home?" the armored suit chided excitedly as Envy simply gawked at him. Now that he thought about it, he had nowhere to go – Greed was probably on the look out for him, so going back to the mansion was definitely a no-no. "Although brother might get mad…I mean he's not really a fan of kitties…" Al murmured before hauling the cat to its feet. "but then again – how can he resist someone as cute as you…" he continued before cradling Envy in his arms. The sin chuckled – the younger Elric was a total softie unlike his older brother who was a bit callous – but hey living with the chibi doesn't seem so bad…the idea was actually kinda appealing.

Al arrived in their apartment at around 5 in the evening carrying a bag of groceries. "Onii-san?" he called out seeing as the lights were all open.
"Hey Al…" Ed suddenly emerged from the kitchen with a can of coke.
"You're early today"
"Yah…colonel-no-baka gave me the time off" he smirked before grabbing a book and proceeding to the living room to read. Al smiled at him in reply and laid the bags of groceries in the counter.
"Hey nii-san…" Al began
"Hmm?"
"Errm…can we have a pet?"
"No…"
"Dogs are cute…"
"They have fleas…so don't even think about it…"
"I heard goldfishes are for sale—"
"Pff..ill flush those in the toilet if you even dare…"
"Err hamsters…"
"A rat…? Why the hell would I want a rat as a pet?"
"Umm okay then how about-" Al began nervously when a loud mewling sound suddenly echoed inside of him. From the living room, Ed felt a nerve twitch as he dropped the book he was reading. He should have known Al was keeping something inside that metal armor of his – why else would he bring up wanting a pet if he didn't want one – or in this case already had one.
"ALLLLLLLL!"

"Oni-san please?" Al pleaded as he took Envy out from his armor. The sin sighed in relief – it was both hot and cramped inside of Al – he almost suffocated for God's sake.
"No…" Ed stated irritably while looking at the black cat with distaste. The ugly little furball seemed to be taunting him with those piercing amethyst eyes of his.
"But oni-san…"
"No…and that's final!"
"Don't be so mean…you can't send him away – its cold outside. He'll freeze to death. Besides he has nowhere to go…how can you be so cruel…" the younger Elric protested dramatically, as Ed simply sighed. It was obvious that Al was making him feel guilty in order for him to give in. "Have you no heart…I mean fine your not an animal lover…but you're willing to let an innocent little kitty die alone in the streets…?"
"Al…"
"I mean look at the possibilities...he might get run over by a car…." Al began as Envy looked at him in sheer amusement. "He might get chased by stray dogs, cat-napped or even—"
"That's enough!" Ed finally cut him of as he rubbed his temples "First of you should know that I don't care what happens to the ugly furball…" he stated bluntly as Envy glared at him. "b-but…if it really bothers you that much…t-then fine…you can keep him…" the blonde sighed as Al suddenly jumped for joy. He knew his brother wouldn't be able to resist him.
"Thanks so much nii-san, you're the best!"
"Whatever…just keep it away from me…" the blonde exclaimed as Al only laughed in reply
"So umm…how about you name him…"
"Why should I…besides is the furball really a HE?" Ed asked as the younger Elric who looked at Envy questioningly.
"Now that you mentioned it…I never checked…"
"Baka…"Ed rolled his eyes before grabbing Envy's hind legs and flipping him over. The sin yowled in surprised and glared at Ed – he felt so violated – he never knew Edo could be so aggressive but then again he didn't mind a little aggression especially if it had something to do with his o-chibi-san naked in bed -
"Err…so?" Al asked a little embarrassed. Envy scoffed – atleast the younger Elric had the decency to blush unlike his older brother.
"It's a he…" Ed shrugged nonchalantly as he handed the cat back to Al, who simply petted it much to Envy's annoyance.
"Oh…so umm what do you want to name it…?"
"How about Shitface"
"Brother…!" Al glowered as the sin simply raised a brow.
"No?" Ed queried innocently "how about Jackas—"
"NO!"
"Douchebag?"
"Mouuu…can't you be serious for once…" the suit of armor scolded
"I am serious" Ed stated as he turned to look at the feline "How about…Envy…" he murmured out of the blue catching both Al and the sin of guard. Envy in particular was stomped – he didn't know whether to be flattered that his o'chibi-san had remembered him or insulted that his name was associated with well….THOSE.
"Hmm…how about we just name him Midnight…" Al suggested.
"Laaameee" Ed booed
"Whatever…it's better than those you gave me…" the younger Elric chided as Ed simply rolled his eyes before going back to the living room to resume what he was doing earlier. Al smiled; he knew Ed was just playing around, but hey at least he got him to concede right?
" Brother's a little…well…stubborn…but he's a nice guy" Al cooed "But anyway…welcome to the family, Midnight…you better behave yourself if you wanna stay ; don't do anything that will piss oni-san of…" he warned before heading to the kitchen to make dinner.
Envy grinned - oh he'll behave alright…after all living with Edo-kun doesn't seem so bad – on contraire it might actually be
Fun…
