Auuugh the fluff/sap XD I'm trying to write some that are a bit less horribly depressing.
Pen-Name-Kitsune-Chan: Thanks ^^ I struggled with where to cut it off, honestly, and I was tempted to do more, but I thought that that would diverge from the theme too much.
coloroflove: Killing Ed is too much fun, why would I stop?
66. Laughter
When Envy heard the children laughing and playing in the fields, it made him see red and want to break something. He usually did, often a nearby tree or whatever else was handy.
Laughter. It was such an innocent thing. That was probably why humans were so creeped out when he laughed at them - at their pathetic struggles, crawling in the dirt like worms.
Laughter. Humans did it so much, they even had words for different types. (What a waste of time.) They never just laughed, they giggled or chortled or guffawed or a million other words which meant basically the same thing. And sometimes they laughed until they cried, which was a complete contradiction of terms.
But suddenly - suddenly he didn't care how silly it was. He was laughing with him, instead of at him, and giggling and chortling and guffawing until the tears came pouring from their eyes and they'd completely forgotten what was so funny in the first place.
It was completely ridiculous, all of it. But Envy didn't mind so much.
