Summary:  Life is a series of disappointments, followed by death�and interspersed with laughably ridiculous events leading to increasingly impossible situations.  Then again, there IS something worse than death, isn�t there?  Just ask Ed.  Envy x Ed
```
Chapter Summary:
He finally managed to choke out the single sound while he forced his
wide eyes to blink, though he was now paranoid that if he took his gaze off of
the other man for even a second something would happen that he most assuredly
wasn�t prepared for at the moment�if ever.
He cleared his throat and shifted away slightly.

Previous Chapter:

�It�s common knowledge, Chibi-san�� He brought his gaze
back to Ed�s. �Your devotion to your
little brother is a well-known fact.
After all�you�ve never tried to hide that you�d do anything for him.� Envy was more than a little uncomfortable
with the way the conversation was heading.
If he wasn�t careful, he�d get himself in a whole mess of trouble for
giving away too much. He didn�t want to
think what would be done to him by way of punishment if it were discovered that
he�d already said this much. He�d have
to hope that Ed used a little discretion in the future regarding their
�negotiations� and subsequent arrangements.
He was still confident that he could persuade the smaller alchemist to
agree to his terms, he just wasn�t certain how many concessions he�d have to
make in order to achieve that agreement.

Chapter
4

�What the hell is that supposed to
mean?� Ed didn�t like the underlying
threat behind Envy�s words.
Intellectually, he knew there was a basic truth behind what the
homunculus was telling him. It wasn�t a
secret that he�d devoted his life to finding a way to return his younger
brother�s body back to him, though in all honesty he�d never thought of that as
a weakness. A goal, a driving need, sure,
but never a weakness. To be told now
that there was a possibility of the enemy using Alphonse as leverage against
him tilted his preconceptions sideways on their axis. He didn�t like the feeling at all.

�It means, Chibi-san, that your
liabilities are totaling up and your assets are dwindling.� Envy scooted closer, reaching out to pat the
younger man�s knee comfortingly when the worried frown drawing his eyebrows
together deepened. �Don�t worry so
much. If you continue to cooperate,
nothing will happen to your little brother.�
He smiled in what he hoped was a reassuring way, though in all honesty,
kindness and compassion really weren�t his strong points and he had a feeling
the gesture was falling flat if Ed�s expression were any indication. �Trust me, Ed�just follow along like a good
little alchemist and your brother will be fine.�

�If you�re trying to make me feel
better�� He began slowly, looking away to study the mess that was left of his
auto-mail, poking at it with the fingers of his left hand. �You�re doing a lousy job.� He sighed, deciding that the repairs were
beyond his expertise. He�d have to brave
another visit to Rizembul to see Winry.
He returned his gaze to the homunculus currently watching him with that
same unwavering gaze from earlier that had sent shivers up and down his
spine. He really didn�t like that
look. �You should stick to murderous
intent, Envy�you�re better at it than sympathy and encouragement.�

He shrugged and scooted closer until
he was sitting beside the State Alchemist, leaning his back against the wall
comfortably as he placed a companionable arm across his shoulders. �What do you say, Chibi-san? Do we have a deal?� He scrunched down and leaned his head against
Ed�s shoulder, grimacing as the hard metal of the auto-mail dug into his cheek
uncomfortably. He debated, for a moment,
switching sides and using Ed�s other shoulder instead, but immediately
discarded the idea as being a bad one.
If he wanted to endear himself to the younger man in order to get what
his wanted, he couldn�t very well insult him in the process and still expect him
to be cooperative.

Ed twitched his shoulder irritably,
dislodging Envy from his position. �So
far, you haven�t given me a compelling argument in your favour, Envy.� He stared down at the stone floor sightlessly
for several long and drawn out moments before closing his left hand into a
white-knuckled fist against his leg.
Scowl still in place, he refused to look at the homunculus even though
he�d returned to petting his hair. �If
you promise to not hurt my brother�� He began slowly, twitching with the effort
it took to not jerk away from the other man as his fingers slowly ran through
his hair, brushing against his neck in the process and sending tremors racing
up and down his body as gooseflesh rose in reaction to the almost gentle
touch. He gritted his teeth and squeezed
his eyes shut.

�Hmm?�
Envy found himself mesmerized by the play of light on the alchemist�s
hair as it seemed to turn it to burnished gold.
He wiggled his fingers through some tangles, a small smile playing about
his lips when with a light tug the snarl came free. He chanced resting his head on Ed�s shoulder
again, holding his breath as he awaited the smaller man�s reaction.

�If you do that�I�ll�um�� Ed�s mind
raced as he thought of a suitable compromise that might appease the homunculus
and also allow him to retain a modicum of dignity in the process. �I�ll let you play with my hair.� He grimaced at the thought of letting Envy
get close enough for him to be able to do so.
Dangerous didn�t even begin to cover it.
�Though it�s freakin� creepin� me out.�
He muttered under his breath, fighting to remain still and not wrench his
body away and move to a relatively safe distance�like maybe in Xenotime�or
anywhere else, for that matter, just as long as it was far, far away from Central
and Envy.

�As much as I like your hair,
Chibi-san�� Envy straightened and smirked at the State Alchemist. �I was hoping for a bit more than just
that.� When Ed�s eyes snapped open to
stare at him in shocked disbelief he shrugged eloquently. �How about I extend that�er�protection to
your little mechanic, hmm? And then you
let me do whatever I want with you.�

Ed�s mind threatened to shut down at
the suggestive gleam in the homunculus� amethyst eyes. He could only stare at him dumbly for several
long moments, mouth opening and closing a few times though no sound came
out. He�d forgotten about Winry in his
worry over Alphonse. But, now that Envy
brought her up, she returned to his thoughts with startling clarity. �Uh�� He finally managed to choke out the
single sound while he forced his wide eyes to blink, though he was now paranoid
that if he took his gaze off of the other man for even a second something would
happen that he most assuredly wasn�t prepared for at the moment�if ever. He cleared his throat and shifted away
slightly. �Er�I don�t know if I like her
that much.� He winced as soon as the words were out,
realizing how self-serving and petty they sounded instantly. Envy, on the other hand, seemed to think it
hilarious as he fell back clutching his stomach and laughing hysterically.
