3rd pov (Envy)
About an hour ago, Envy was snooping around in the streets of Central. While in the middle of plotting a scheme, he saw a familiar face. Serenity was out, but Envy couldn't approach to her even though he was in a different appearance. Armstrong was with her. Serenity still had a bandage around her head, and held a bag of ice against her forehead. Now, Envy's in the hideout thinking about the scheme, Serenity interrupts his mind. He remembers the bitchy attitude she had when she first met him; Envy really loves that attitude. When Envy hears Lust's voice, he snaps out of it.
Lust: Did you find anything in Central?
Envy: Nothing, but her…
Lust: You saw Serenity?
Envy: Yep, but I couldn't talk to her. She was with a Military officer, and they were heading to the hospital.
For a moment, there was a silence. Lust smiles, and says…
Lust: …Well, since you like her so much, you should visit her…
1st pov (Serenity)
The stitching process didn't take long like I thought it would be; it took about twenty to thirty minutes.
Armstrong: How did it turn out?
Me: It went well. They said I can leave later tonight, and on Wednesday, they'll come to the command center, and remove the stitches.
Armstrong: That's good to hear, and it's good to see that you're recovering. I'll be in the waiting room. When you have a visitor, I'll escort them here.
Me: Okay.
Armstrong leaves the room, and I'm left alone. It's quiet and boring in this hospital room. There is nothing to do here, but sleep on a very uncomfortable bed. So I took advantage to the quietness within the room, and fell asleep.
Fast forward
Armstrong: Miss Serenity.
I hear my name being called, so I open my sleepy eyes, look at Armstrong along with another military officer I hardly even know.
Armstrong: This gentleman wants to see you.
Officer: I want to have private conversation with her. It's about something important.
Me: *in thought* Important? Maybe it's about the Homunculi…
Armstrong: How long will this conversation be? There are others who want to see her.
Officer: This will only take a moment.
Armstrong: Very well then…*leaves the room*
Armstrong leaves the room leaving me with the military officer. I'm ready for whatever he's trying to tell me because I believe it's about the Homunculi. The officer pulls up a chair to the hospital bed, and sat down.
Me: So…what is it that you want to tell me?
As soon as I asked that question, he transforms into the appearance I can easily recognize. I smile at him a little, and said...
Me: Hey…
Envy: What you're not happy to see me?
Me: I'm cool with it. I don't have problem with it at all.
Envy: Good because I thought you were going to bitch at me.
Me: Listen, I'm not in the right condition to have a bitch fit right now. Plus, I'm aching right now. *looks at the clock* The nurse will be coming in soon to give me a pain killer.
Envy: A pain killer?
As the nurse came in, Envy quickly transforms back into the military officer disguise. The nurse simply says…
Nurse: Hello, Serenity. Are you feeling any pain right now? Have any headaches?
Me: No headache at all. I'm just aching everywhere.
Nurse: Okay. I came just in time then.
The nurse gets a needle ready, and Envy leans to me, and then whispers in the same voice…
Envy: Why does she have a needle?
Me: She's going to inject me with the pain killer medicine. Why?
Envy: Nothing…
To me, it looks like he's worried about me. Envy, one of the cruelest Homunculus I ever met is actually caring for some reason. He's must've never had a friend before.
Nurse: Okay. This will only hurt for a second.
Me: Dude, I'll be alright.
When I felt the needle pierce my skin, I shut my eyes tightly. It hurt only for a minute, but Envy insists on squeezing my hand, I can feel less pain. The nurse has finished injecting the medicine in me, and puts a blue band-aid on it. As the nurse leaves the room, the nurse says to Envy…
Nurse: She'll be fine.
Me: Envy, you can let go of my hand now.
Envy: Sorry about that.* transform to known appearance*
Me: Like I said, I don't have a problem with you visiting me, Envy. You said that we're going to be in touch, so you're keeping your word. Anyway, it's good to see you again.
Envy: So…*scratches his head* how are you managing?
Me: After taking that pain killer, I'm feeling alright now. It kicks in really fast. I got stitched up today on my forehead.
Envy: Is it bad?
Me: It was, but the stitch isn't exactly that big. It's only the size of my index finger. *looks at Envy funny* Why are you worried about that. Actually, you wouldn't give a fuck.
Envy: You don't have to worry about that now!
Me: Okay, damn. Just chill.
Envy: "Just chill?" Look who's tell me to chill when before you really wanted to fight me.
Me: Listen, there was no point of me calming down before. A woman has to be tough if she has to go through something like that. And I am that woman.
Envy: So how's Dez?
Me: Dex, Envy…
Envy: Yeah…him…
Me: He's fine. I hope he's fine since I'm in the hospital, but this isn't the first time I'm separated from him. He tends to catch up later.
Envy gives me that same look that I can hardly understand yet again. So I ask…
Me: Envy, are you okay?
Envy: Huh? Yeah. I'm just uh…
Me: Peachy? Okie-dokie? Hunky-dory? Swell? Anything like that?
Envy: I'll take peachy…
For the first time, Envy made me laugh…and it's scary to me. I never laughed at Envy or his words until now. This could be a good friendship.
Envy: Did you tell the Colonel about what happened?
Me: Well, I told the truth, and lied to him a little. I did say that I was captured by a Homunculus, and I said it was Greed.
Envy chuckles in the middle of my explanation, and says…
Envy: He's not even good enough to capture you…
Me: Can I continue? And I couldn't say that you held me hostage for some reason. It just…can't…escape my lips. So, I was like "Fuck it. I'm going to sleep on it."
There was an awkward silence for a moment until Envy sighs, and stood from his seat, and says…
Envy: Well, I'm leaving now.
Me: Really? You just got here.
Envy: I have to. Father needs me to return with information.
Me: That means you're spark up some shit huh?
Envy: That's right.
In the halls, I can here Dex barking, and Mustang telling Dex to keep it down. I get all nervous, so I sat up, saying…
Me: Oh shit.
Envy: What?
Me: Transform into that military officer. Mustang is here, and he brought Dex with him.
As Envy transformed, Mustang and Dex enter the room.
Me: *in thought* Oh my God. That was close.
Dex passes by Envy, not knowing it was Envy, puts his front legs in the bed, and gives me "kisses."
Envy leaves the room. I pet Dex for a quiet a while. Now, I'm thinking about Envy which is strange. Even though he's cruel, there is something about him that I like.
