A/N: Short one this time. Just came from musing over the fact that Envy seemed to become a lot more mindful of Gluttony after Lust died, as if he were trying to take her place - it's really kind of sweet and depressing, if you read the subtext. This is set when Mustang, Edward and the others are fighting an escaped Gluttony and Envy was on his way to pick him up.
Disclaimer: Since I didn't put one in last chapter… I do not own FMA.
Oh, and the mention of the coat - that'll be explained in the 'three-shot' involving Lust, Envy and Gluttony I'll be posting next. When I get a review, hopefully. Just know that it refers to Lust's death.
Damn that idiot.
Envy's hooves plowed deep holes in the ground as he raced through the forest; at times like these, he found the shape of a horse most convenient for travel, even if he was not normally fond of animal forms. And he had to get there fast, fast because Gluttony was a fool and obviously couldn't take care of himself and now the humans knew that they could kill homunculi…
His teeth gritted as his mind flashed back, ashes and Gluttony's tears and a yellow coat that still smelled faintly of her perfume and Wrath's cold words, Lust is dead. They couldn't - he couldn't - lose another member of their family.
Especially not Gluttony.
Even though you're an idiot…
He heard telltale screeches of anger and panicked human yells, and with a slight sense of relief directed his path towards them.
I promised Lust I'd take care of you.
Review!
