This one was fun. There's so many elements of change, and I didn't even fit in all the ideas I wanted to.
Come one guys, review, I know you're reading XD I can see the traffic! Reviews are my bread and butter, and make me write faster~ (Is that actually humanly possible? Let's find out!)
8. Changing
"Will you show me how you shift?"
Envy backs away. "No. I told you. I'm not doing this anymore."
Ed reaches out, takes his hand. "I just want to see you change. Call it a professional interest, if that makes you more comfortable."
"We're enemies! We! Are! Enemies!" he shrieks.
"I thought we left that behind long ago."
"You're changing me. You changed me. Stop it." Envy keeps jerking away from Ed's touch, but Ed doesn't stop, taking Envy's hand, his arm, his shoulder, his waist, anywhere.
"Can you be anything? Are you limited to people, animals, living things?"
"Stop being interested. Stop it." His voice breaks into a deepness, a growl – a man's voice for a change.
"We were lovers, Envy, that's not going to change."
"Yeah? We are enemies, and all I've ever wanted is your death."
Ed finally recoils, changing direction, the hurt plastered on his face.
"Some things don't change, Fullmetal."
"But –"
Envy swivelled around, driving his arm into his lover's chest. With a sick look, Ed looked down at the blade that disappeared into his body.
"I…thought…you'd…changed…"
"So did I," whispered Envy, ignoring the coppery taste of regret where he'd bitten his tongue. "So did I."
