I like Envy in this one – he's chirpy :D First-series-verse, obviously.
Cometflare: I'm the person who came back to Seven Reasons to Stay Alive two years after abandoning it and decided to rewrite xer story because xe PROMISED to finish it. Don't worry! I'll make it to a hundred! I have something like 30 already written, and the ideas/basic sketches for 50-60 or so. I'd also watch that AU, mostly because Ed and Envy don't get any one-on-one time in Brotherhood. That made me sad, especially with how EPIC their last battle in ep 50 of the first series was. It was KICK ASS. Then shtoopid Ling got all up in everything.
15. Rebellion
"Where are you going?" asked Colonel Mustang from his desk, but Ed just shrugged.
"Out."
"Out?"
"When is it any of your business where I go?"
Roy arched a charcoal eyebrow. "I'm your commanding officer. It's my job."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Ed snorted, pushing open the door and walking away.
"Where are you going?" asked Dante from her doorway, but Envy just lifted his shoulders in lieu of a proper answer.
"Out."
"Out?"
"Out."
Dante crossed her arms, neckline of her dress shifting slightly to reveal where the rot had begun to eat at her flesh. "Envy, I demand that you let me know where you're going."
"Why?"
"Because as your master – and your mother – I have the right to know."
Envy grinned toothily as she played the 'mummy' card, then cheerfully lifted his middle finger. "Fuck you, bitch."
Ed didn't like this part of the city, but at least it was quiet. Nobody – not even squatters – risked staying in these buildings, they were so rickety and unsafe. To even take a step into their doorway was to flirt with death itself.
He snorted as he marched into one of them and up the stairs. It wasn't like he wasn't doing that already.
"Hello, Envy."
The homunculus lounged on the mattress he'd purloined from somewhere-or-other, tossing a pebble from one hand to the other. "Hello yourself, I thought you'd never get here." He chucked the pebble at Ed, who caught it in his automail hand without flinching. "Now get over here so I can fuck you senseless."
"We have to stop meeting like this –" he said, even as he obeyed, shedding his coat without a second thought.
"Why, so we can say 'yes sir no sir' all the time?" Envy chuckled throatily. "Come on, darling, what's the harm in a bit of rebellion?"
Ed cracked a smile. "I suppose it doesn't hurt."
"And it feels good?"
"It feels good."
"So," whispered Envy, drawing Ed down into his embrace, "let's be rebels."
