not ours. Arakawa Hiromu-sensei owns those cool characters and stories and we just borrow it
for our yaoi
plot. ^_^
last, we’ve found beta readers! Wai ©
XD XD LoL So, you guys
didn’t have to cope with our messy grammar again.
At last, we’re updated. We’re so
sorry it took long time. We’ve been so busy lately and we got writers’ block on
this fic. And we’re in the process of writing another
fics. Anyway, thank you so much for all reviewers! We

chapter.
shoradragon7 - I think you’ve
misunderstood. Envy couldn’t do alchemy. He just transformed his hand into
auto-mail blade, not transmuted it. It’s within his transformed ability, to
transform all part or just a part of his body to any shape he wants. It’s like
what he did when he transformed his hand to kill Ed in the anime (
kind of like that, just the shape’s different. In this fic,
I made it transformed like Ed’s auto-mail blade coz I thought it’s

style='color:black;mso-ansi-language:IN'>Ed opened his eyes
to focus his gaze, tried to recognize his surrounding. ‘Where am I? This place
seems so familiar.’ He thought. Then he realized that there was a little wet
towel on his forehead. He took it and tried to sit. That’s when he realized
that he was naked on someone else’s bed. Suddenly there was voice coming from
beside him.
“
Ed was startled and turned around
immediately to face the voice’s owner whom he knew so well. But, it proved to
be a wrong move coz it made his head felt cracked. He stayed still and put his
hand on his head. Envy saw him and put him down again. Ed just obeyed it. When
his dizzy subsided, he tried to focus again.
“Envy…where is this? What are you
doing here? What am I doing here?” he asked, felt very confused. His brain
still didn’t work properly. Envy just chuckled to see Ed bombarded him with
questions.
“Don’t you remember anything at
all about last night, Ed?”
“…”
‘Last night? What happened last
night?’ Ed thought. He tried to dig his fuzzy brain. Then he started to
remember what had happened.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Envy stood proudly in front of the
pathetic man. His evil smirk and sadistic face made the man cowered in fear.
His aura was very intimidating at that time.
“So…what should I do with you?” he
spoke in a venomous tone.
“P-p-pl-please…let me
go…please…forgive me. I won’t do it again, I swear. Please don’t kill me. I beg
you…” said the pathetic loser.
“Ho…you won’t do it again, huh?”
The man just nodded quickly, too scared to speak. “But you’ve already done it.”
Envy said with a pretend sweet voice. And then he continued, “You just can’t
take back what you’ve done to MY chibi.” He said the last sentence with wrath practically
radiated from all of his body and the promise of painful experiences dripped
from his voice.
“No…no…please don’t kill me.
Please…I’m really sorry. I know I was wrong, so please forgive me. I’ll do
anything, just don’t kill me.”
“Pathetic weak
human. You ain’t
fun at all.” he said with disgust. “Give me your tongue!”
“…What?”
“Tch…you
said you’d do anything, right? Give me your tongue then!” he said with
impatient clearly in his voice. The man hesitated for a moment then slipped out
his tongue.
“Good. Now, I wanna
ask you, how was his taste?”
“Eh? His…his taste???” the man
slipped in his tongue again to speak.
“Yes, his taste. Are you idiot or
something?!” Envy made a kind of exasperated gesture. “You kissed him, right?!
So you must know his taste. And you must answer me honestly, if not…”
“O-okay…” Confused but didn’t dare
to oppose or questioned him, the man answered, “His taste was…good. *Envy
glared* Really good…I guess…”
“So you have a fine tongue, eh?!
Now, give me your tongue again!”
The man did as he told
still for a second, too shocked to have any response. Then he screamed loudly,
his hands on his mouth. Envy, seemed satisfied with the man’s reaction and
looked at the piece on his hand with disgust. Then he threw it to only god knew
where.
“That’s your fucking payment for
daring to taste him!” Envy said in anger. “You’re right about his taste though.
It really was good.” Envy said again in a kind of state of reminiscence.
Ed stared at them with
disbelieved. ‘He’s insane. I can’t believe he asked about my taste and still
thinking about that in a situation like this. But that’s Envy for you, a
possessive bastard with his insane jealousy.’ Ed thought in wonder. He wanted
to stop Envy but he felt like he didn’t have any power. He felt nauseous and
his head was throbbing. He was beyond all reason to do anything now. The poor
man was howling in pain with hands still covering his mouth and he gave
accusing look to Envy.
“What? I didn’t kill you, did I?
You should thank me.” Envy said. Then, like he just realized something, he
spoke again, “Ah, but you can’t speak coz I cut your tongue, can you?! I forgot
about that, sorry.” Envy said with sweet innocent voice and smiled. He didn’t
feel guilty at all.
The man just stared incredulously
at Envy, dumbfounded. He was shivering in fear now. He lowered his gaze; he
couldn’t stand Envy’s violet piercing cat’s-like eyes gazed at him. Envy’s
predatory gaze was way too terrifying at the time; it chilled him to the bone.
“So, since you didn’t say ‘thank
you’ to me, I’m gonna teach you some manners now, you
asshole.”
Suddenly, he slashed the man’s
hands swiftly. The man screamed again in agony, but Envy didn’t stop right
there. Then he stabbed the man’s crotch. The man gave a long agony howl and
fell to the floor. He writhed on the floor and screamed so loud that his voice
became sore. Ed stared with wide eyes and felt a bit guilty for the man’s
suffering. But at that time he didn’t really care and couldn’t think anymore.
His head became dizzier and he felt like he wanted to throw up. Meanwhile, Envy
looked at the man with insane glint in his violet eyes. His face seemed
satisfied and he licked his lips in predatory manner.
“How does it feel?” he asked with
his always husky voice.
The man in question could only
scream, moan, and cry in pure agony while writhing on the floor hopelessly and
pathetically. He couldn’t stand a chance against the very strong and sadistic
androgynous homunculus. (and dead sexy too XD)
“You fucking deserved it, you
fucking dick shit! I was going to let you die slowly and painfully from the
lost of blood, but since I’m feeling nice now and have something better to do
than take care of shit like you, I’m gonna end you
right now. You should thank me for my kindness too.” Envy said while smiling
all the time. “Go to holy hell. Ciao!”
Then, Envy stabbed the man’s
throat. The man just let out a squeak and died, surrounded by a pool his own of
blood. Envy pulled out his hand and transformed it back without the trace of
blood at all on his usual hand, one of his unique ability. Then, he walked back
to Ed through the dead bodies and river of blood, eyes sharp and piercing. He
moved with such grace like usual and he dodged the blood and the corpses
fluidly and effortlessly. Ed just gazed at him all that time like he was being
hypnotized by his sinuously moves. He stopped in front of Ed and looked at Ed’s
messy state. His Hagane
thoroughly soaked, hair untidy, face flushed, and his eyes were hollow and
dead. He had intended to scold Ed for his stupid acts before, but looked at him
like this, his anger disappeared and he felt worry. His expression didn’t show
it, though his eyes softened. ‘I wonder
what happened to him that made him like this. It’s just so unlike him to not
put up a fight against those damn punks. I’ve never seen him like this.’ Envy
thought in alarm. They were just staring at each other for a while. Then Envy
broke the silent.
“
Ed?”
“…” Ed didn’t answer. He just
stared at Envy with blank face.
“Ed…” Envy raised his right hand
to touch Ed’s cheek, but halted on halfway by Ed’s word.
“
His head’s very dizzy now he couldn’t stand it anymore. His vision blurred.
“…”
“
Ed said the last word and then the
darkness surrounded him. His body became limp and he fell. But Envy caught Ed
in his hands instantly. He felt Ed’s body burning, he frowned. Ed had fainted
because of his fever. Then Envy took him bride style and proceeded in bringing
him to his place while Ed unconsciously leaned into Envy’s chest to seek
warmth.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
‘…yeah, I remembered it now…’
After his brain started to work again, he recognized that he was in Envy’s
place. Scanning his surrounding, he saw his clothes were hanging near the
fireplace. He just realized that he felt cold and shivered a little. He brought
up the warm comforter around his body to find more warmth. Then he faced Envy
again.
“So you brought me here last night
after I was fainted.” Ed said that more as a statement than a question. But
Envy answered nonetheless.
“Yeah, you had fever. Anyway, what
were you doing, walking in the rain like that? And why didn’t you fight those
shits when they wanted to rape you, you fool. What happened, Ed?”
Envy’s tone was dead serious, not
like his usual teasing tone. He wasn’t even smirking or grinning. Plus, he used
Ed’s name, not the usual name calling. That meant something serious. Ed knew
that, but he felt ashamed of himself and he felt guilty too. He couldn’t face
Envy after what he’d done and betrayed him. So he tried to act stubborn like
usual to cover his feelings.
“…not you’re fucking business…I
never ask you to help me anyway. So I’m gonna go
now.”
Ed tried to get up again. But
before he could do that, Envy pinned him down to the bed again. Ed struggled,
but Envy held him with a firm grip. Envy’s knees were trapping his hips and
both his hands were holding on his wrists above his head with one hand. He
couldn’t do anything against that inhuman power in his weak condition.
“What the hell! Let me go!!”
“Nope!”
“Let me go! I wanna
get out of here and I won’t bother you again!”
“You can’t do anything with your
fever and you’re just gonna kill yourself like that
if you go now, Ed.”
Ed knew Envy’s words were right.
His body was very weak and his head throbbing madly. But he didn’t have the
guts to stay with Envy right now. He knew Envy was worried about him. He could
see it in his amethyst eyes, but it only made him felt really ashamed of
himself. And he wasn’t ready to tell Envy about what happened with
So he kept being stubborn desperately, even though he knew he couldn’t win.
“We’ll see about that, Envy! So
let me go or someone will get hurt!”
“
struggling like that or I have to shackle you again like before.”
“…” Ed couldn’t fight anymore. His
head was really dizzy and his body was weak and limp. At last, he stopped
struggled and stayed still.
“Good. I don’t give a damn if you
fucking want to see me. But at least stay here until your goddamn fever is
gone. I trust you won’t run away in your fucked up condition even without the
shackle.” Envy said exasperated and he sighed. Then he got up completely from
Ed and sat on the bed side. Ed’s heart twisted in pain when he heard Envy’s
words.
“…whatever…” Ed muttered. He felt
like he wanted to cry.
He felt really tired. Then he
turned around to sleep on his side, his back to Envy so he didn’t have to see
the amethyst eyes that pierced him. He felt really confused. Why did Envy still
wanted to take care of him after he betrayed him? ‘He thought that I didn’t
don’t wanna see him, but…I’m too ashamed to face him.
That’s why I was very surprised to see him last night. Why? Why did you save
me? Even after I left you for
even after I choose
than a slut like me...’ With that thought, Ed drifted to sleep. His wiriness
was really wearing down on him. Beside him, Envy’s sharp amethyst eyes watched
Ed’s back rocking slowly because of his breathing. His calm and rhythmic
breaths told him that Ed was already deep in slumber. Envy frowned and drifted
deep in thought.
and watched them. He had come with Al here because he was worried about Ed too.
“Mustang
when yesterday you called me that he has returned??”
“He had left before you came,
Alphonse-kun”
“
come!!”
“It’s very complicated, Alphonse-kun.”
he couldn’t say anything again to explain what had happened.
“Uh-huh.”
The big armor boy just responded
with unbelief tone and stared at the Flame Alchemist.
felt guilty. The usually calm boy could be very creepy if it concerned his beautiful
big brother. Not that
for god sake. But Al still deserved an explanation from him because he was the
one responsible of them. So
tell him the truth, not all of them, just a little. It was his private problem
after all and Al didn’t know anything about their relationship. They always
keep it a secret. Besides, it wasn’t entirely his fault, was it?
“There was a problem and we had a
fight. And, well, I told him to go. I thought that he’d go to the military’s
dorm, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe he’s still sulking somewhere, but I’ve
sent a search party to find him.”
said the last sentence so not to make Al too worried, but likely it didn’t have
much effect.
“So, just because you had a fight,
you kicked him out. And now nii-san is missing
again. What if something happens to him again? I’m really disappointed in you,
care what it takes, I’ll find him by myself, and I won’t ask for your help!
That’s it! Good afternoon, taisa!”
Al left the room, and slammed the
door shut. Havoc, Fury, and
office, except for Riza Hawkeye. They all wondered
what was going on that made the usually calm armor boy furious like that because
they didn’t know anything about Ed’s situation. They just wondered why the
famous Hagane
wasn’t with his little brother. They were now busy guessing what Roy had done
to the boy or what he had said about Ed to his little brother and about why Ed
didn’t come with his little brother. The First Lieutenant could just sigh about
the scene and felt worried about
and the Elric kyoudai. She too didn’t know anything, but something quiet
serious must had happened. And it had to be about Ed. That was the only thing
that could have made Al and Roy made a scene like that, besides yesterday Ed
had been found after he had been missing for a week.
Roy and Hughes saw the door close.
After a few seconds, Hughes turned back his attention to
ready to pull out all the information from his best friend. He felt a bit angry
too. But at least, he more or less understood that
that he couldn’t be furious like Al. Roy just sighed in distressed.
“So, what had really happened
between you and Ed? It had to be really impossible if you to kicked him out
just because of one of your usual fight. You must have been very crazy to kick
him out after he had been missing for a goddamn week,
One goddamn week with no clues about his where about and one goddamn week full
of worries for god sake. And now he’s missing again.” Hughes told him with
stress clearly in his voice.
“I know, Hughes. I know…” sighed.
“I’m sorry and I’m worried about him too.”
“What’s going on,
Please tell me the truth.”
“Well, you know about my
relationship with Ed, right?”
“Yeah.
“Well, he cheated on me. Last
night I kicked him out because I was mad at him.”
“
Do you really think he would do that? Is your faith in him really that small?
You know Ed better than me I supposed. He’s not that kind of guy. If he really
cheated on you, there must be a big reason behind it or maybe it’s just a
misunderstanding. If he really did, why would he return to you? And that’s not
a reason to kick someone out who had been missing you know.”
“Well, maybe you’re right. But you
know what? He even called his name when we had sex! His name is Envy. And he is
a homunculus.”
“What? Homunculus?
Do they really exist?”
“Yeah, they exist. I couldn’t
believe it either. But that’s not the point now. The point is, Ed cheated on me
with that guy and Ed’s with him all the time he had been missing, having fun
with him while we’re worrying about him. Now, I don’t know what I should do
about him. I know it was wrong for me to kick him out just like that and not
listen to his explanation, but he was wrong too for cheating on me.”
Hughes just sighed. “Well, why
don’t you find him first and then you could talk to him and clear up this
matter. Don’t be stubborn at a time like this. You’re the adult in this
relationship,
“…Guess you’re right, Hughes. Hope
we can find him soon. By the way, I want you to investigate the incident at the
fifth laboratory.”
“Okay. Tell me the details. While
we’re at it, let’s have drink tonight!” Hughes said with a grin on his face.
him who could understand him. “Yeah, that would be cool.”
Then they proceeded to talk about
matters at hand while feeling really anxious inside. They could just hope that
there wouldn’t be something bad happen and prevent them from finding their dear
Hagane
Well, what do you think? Hope this
chapter compensates the long update. We’ll try to update the next chapter ASAP.
The next chapter will be the last chapter at last. So, R&R please!
