(A/N) Hey people! Just a short one-shot for a friend�s
birthday. Hope you�re feeling better Mara! It�s a silly, mushy AU for the sake
of it.
So, in this one, Envy was not around when Dante fed Al
to Gluttony to create a complete stone, thus he didn�t kill Ed and neither got
sent to the alternate world. The stone was completed though, but the power
overwhelmed Al. Ed used it to bring his brother back� but he miscalculated
something.
Miscalculations are not a good thing children, with or
without the law of equivalent exchange.
The quote of the beginning is Mayan Proverb.

Kitten Kindness.

"A spark of
kindness starts a fire of love.�

~*~*~

Envy walked along the remains of the building that had once been
Dante�s hide out. Which had once been his home. Sneering at the thought, he
kicked some of the debris, bored. It certainly looked like the Elric brothers
had been around. Well, he thought dryly, no big loss if the bitch is
gone. But it still felt strange: he didn�t know if any of the others had
survived, though he suspected Wrath. The stupid brat had more lives than a cat
anyway. Envy scowled a bit at the thought of the younger Homunculus, then
snorted and turned to walk away. Suddenly, he stopped. Ears twitching slightly,
he turned to scan the area, eyes narrowed. Sure enough, after a moment, he saw
a flash of golden glinting under a bit of debris. Snarling softly under his
breath, he stalked purposely towards it, murder his intent. What he found,
however, wasn�t exactly what he had been expecting.
�What the fuck?�
Blinking, he stared incredously at the pitiful
creature half trapped under the remains of the building. Golden eyes looked up
at him, half lidded at first, then widening as the small kitten yelped and
meowed frantically, very obviously afraid. Envy reached out for it and got
bitten by the hysterical animal. He glared down at it.
�Fine, fucking die
for all I care,� The Homunculus crossed his arms over his chest, snorting.
The kitten hissed pathetically, small pawns pressed
under its body, trapped under its weight as the wooden beam held it captive.
Homunculus and feline engaged in a fierce glaring contest. After a moment, the
green haired teen snorted and shrugged. With inhuman ease, he removed the wood
that kept the cat trapped and quickly snatched up by the neck in a surprisingly
gentle manner. It hissed and spitted, but reveled something interesting to
Envy�s keen eyes. Two of its paws were replaced by automail. He snorted.
�Typically human,� He sneered in distaste, looking at
the cat disdainfully, �Let�s experiment on living things, and once we fuck up,
we�ll be charitative and try to fix it.�
The cat curled around his wrist, biting hard. Glaring
down at the little pest, he let it on the floor again and noticed it was having
a hard time standing on its own. Envy shrugged, then turned himself into an
adult cat, with the same coloring as the kitten, and then proceed to hold it by
its neck again.
No one paid much attention to the mother cat carrying
her automail aid kitten through the streets.

~*~*~

Envy stared at the ball of golden fur. Golden eyes stared back at
him. He sighed.
"And I supposed this is were I get you a name,
right?"
The kitten meowed. It had stopped struggling when it
became apparent it was not going to escape Envy�s hold and resigned itself to
be carried around when Envy didn�t show signs of hurting it. At the moment, the
cat was resting on a shabby wooden table that was pushed against the window of
the small kitchen. Envy lived in an shabby old cabin in the outskirts of the
city: secluded, private and perfect for a psychopath to rest in between
missions, expecting new orders. Not that he had anyone to order him around
anymore.
�I�m not good at this,� The Homunculus mused wryly,
resting his chin on his hand, watching the nervous fur ball with half lidded
eyes, �You don�t look fluffy, or cute, or any disgustingly annoying quality
humans use to describe your kind. Nah�� He reached out to poke the kitten�s
nose with a finger, smirking as the animal unconsciously crossed its eyes,
�You�re just a cat, that�s all.�
�Cat� meowed again, fur fluffing out as it arched its
back. Envy grinned.

~*~*~

Envy scowled darkly. �Cat� hissed, spitting and backing as much as
he could from the bowl.
"It's milk, you know? The stuff cats drink
all the time?" Shooting the sniffing fur ball a glare, Envy narrowed his
eyes, "Eat goddamnit!"
The kitten turned sharply and sank its tiny teeth on
the hand holding him, Envy let out a gasp of surprise and retracted his hand,
rubbing it furiously.
�That you can�t kill me doesn�t mean you can�t hurt me,�
He muttered accusingly, shoving the bowl of milk towards the kitten. It
skittered backwards, absolutely terrified, �Oh fine, starve to death for
all I care.�
But he let the kitten have some remains of his own
meal, and scowled darkly when �Cat� rubbed against his leg in appreciation.

~*~*~

"No. Absolutely not," He glared. �Cat� meowed. "Get
off my bed, now."
Another pitiful meow, almost a whine. Golden eyes
stared pathetically up at him.
"...Oh for fuck's sake, fine... but if I
find cat fur in my bed..." He left the threat hanging, watching with
distant amusement as the kitten scrambled under the covers, looking a tad bit
ridiculous with its overly small legs.
He snorted.
"I'm getting soft.�

~*~*~

�Dante had Greed and Pride built this house a few years ago,� Envy
talked as he fixed a few loose boards in the roof. �Cat� meowed as it perched
precariously on the edge.
The green haired Homunculus had been slightly annoyed
at the kitten�s insistence to follow him around, but eventually, he gave up
with a shrug and started carrying the cat around. While it was amusing to see
it running on too short legs, it was impractical and Envy apparently had too
much to do, to waste time watching the fur ball.
�Of course, she never lived here, it'd be too,� Sneer,
�Rustic, for her. No, Dante had to have silk sheets and red wine around
to be happy. Generally it was just Lust and me here, which was fine, until she
tried to make something remotely edible,� Envy paused his hammering and
shuddered violently, �I wished Homunculus didn�t need eating after that.�
Leaving the hammer on the wooden surface, he looked
around for something, brow furrowed. �Cat� meowed, then pushed the box of nails
with its head. Envy grinned.
�Smart lad,� He muttered, petting the small head
absently.
�Cat� purred.

~*~*~

Envy jerked awake suddenly. �Cat� meowed pitifully as the covers
were roughly thrown aside and the Homunculus stalked out of the room. With
effort, the kitten managed not to get killed while getting down the bed.
Automail clicked softly on the wooden floor as �Cat� meowed loudly, looking for
its �owner�.
�Shut up,� Envy barked at him, glaring as he leaned
against the kitchen counter. The kitten trotted as silently as it could and
rubbed against the still warm ankles, �Stop that,� Envy hissed, for once
annoyed, and the golden fur ball immediately pulled back, meowing softly.
Envy was glaring at the window, watching with
detachment as a mob gathered outside. The cat couldn�t really see it, of
course, but he could see the orange glow of torches and hear the enraged yells
of people.
�It happens every time,� Envy hissed, hands
fisted, �Every single time something goes wrong, of course, of course it
has to have been my fault.�
The cat meowed again, looking up as if noting for the
first time the crumbling state of the cabin, the continuous effort to keep it
uptight.
Outside, after setting two trees on fire and throwing
the fence down, the invaders left, still hissing and spitting insults at the
�abomination� that lived inside. Envy�s hands were tightly clenched, nails
digging into flesh� but it healed fast enough there was no chance for blood to
be spilled.
�It�s always my fucking fault.�

~*~*~

Every Sunday, Envy would wake earlier than usual and make a list of
things he needed, then transform into a random stranger and go down into town.
The first time the cat had seen it, it had gotten so terribly nervous the
Homunculus had had to left it behind, less it caused a racket. But cats are
curious creatures, and eventually, the cat meowed and purred enough to convince
the green haired teen to take it along.
Riel was something between a small city and a big
town. Shops and workshops, streets that were obviously too small for cars to
pass through, people who greeted at each other and always had a smile for
everything. Nearby farmers that came to sell their products and some where
places trade was made by exchange, rather than money.
It was a nice, peaceful town with nice, peaceful
people; and Envy hated it.
He always came back to the cabin annoyed, shaking and
terribly, terribly angry. He didn�t steal things, although the money he paid
them with had been Dante�s and it was probably the result of a crime. He didn�t
care, he used it because he didn�t want to stand out. Because he was angry and
annoyed and lonesome, with only a pitiful broken cat as company.
�It�s unfair,� The Homunculus said suddenly, while
feeding the cat a strip of raw meat, �It�s so damn unfair.�
Cats couldn�t speak, couldn�t offer comfort, yet Envy
was grateful for the tentative lick to his fingers. He knew, somehow, that it
had nothing to do with food.

~*~*~

The kitten felt strange against him, warm fur and cold metal as it
curled tightly on Envy�s belly, purring softly. A hand was lazily tracing a path
from head to tail, gently, much more tenderly that either cat or Homunculus had
ever guessed it could be.
�Guess it fits,� Envy said after a while, fingers
rubbing on automail, causing the purring to grow louder, �A broken cat for a
broken monster, right?�
�Cat�, of course, didn�t answer.

~*~*~

There were at least ten chests with various treasures buried under
the house. Envy kept a small bag with money for his weekly trips in the house,
and the rest hidden away.
�I don�t need more,� He told the kitten as it stared
enraptured at the glinting jewelry in the wooden box. Refilling his money bag
with a few coins, Envy added, �Dante was the one for frivolity, I just want
them to leave me alone.�
�Cat� meowed almost as if to agree with him, then
noticed a red silk scarf thrown carelessly on the chest. Instinctively, the
kitten pawned at it, hissing in mock anger and stretched to reach it. Envy
arched an eyebrow, then took the scarf with him as he closed the chest and
reburied them away.
�Here,� He told the cat, as he wrapped the scarf
around it before slipping into bed, �Not that you�d appreciate it.�

~*~*~

The kitten meowed loudly, trying to keep up with the much larger
strides of the green haired teen. Envy was walking slow enough, though. The
forest was quiet this early in the morning and the cat was terribly cranky at
having lost its bed partner while the sun wasn�t even close to raising. They
walked for a long while, until the woods closed around them, the last traces of
civilization disappearing under the wrath of the forest. �Cat� had clawed and
hissed and spit until Envy gave in and carried it in his arms. They entered
deeper and deeper, until they found a large clearing.
There were rotten beams of wood around, the last
broken remains of a cabin that had once stood there. Envy walked forward, hold
on �Cat� tightening slightly.
�There used to be a garden there,� A hand pointed to
the left of the main remains as Envy�s voice quivered softly, �Mom planted
roses the year I was born and each one afterwards, around this season, the
whole house would be filled with their scent,� The purple eyed young man walked
forward into the remains, the kitten strangely silent in his arms, �She�� Envy
smiled grimly, �She had the nerve to tell me, once, when I was small, that I was
the reason the roses bloomed,� Laughing bitterly, the Homunculus looked around
the remains, �Of course I believed her then, but see? I�m back, I�m always back
and there�s no flowers yet.�
Behind the broken remains of the house, there was a
lone grave. Envy walked towards it, but not much and then fell to his knees,
holding the cat close, shivering.
�There�ll never be flowers again.�
Golden eyes stared at the abandoned grave for a
moment, then, as it felt something moist on its fur, �Cat� made a strangely
soothing sound in the back of its throat.

~*~*~

SPLASH
Envy looked up from the fence he was hammering back
together and blinked. Then laughed in amusement as a wet fur ball crawled pitifully
out of the water bucket. Golden fur plastered around, �Cat� hissed dangerously,
then sauntered over to a good sized rock and sat down to clean itself and dry
under the sun.
Envy couldn�t remember the last time he had laughed at
something that didn�t involve carnage.

~*~*~

A full year later after Envy had found the cat, he woke up to the
sound of howling. Noting the missing ball of heat in his bed, the Homunculus
stormed into the living room, to where the old couch covered with that
horrible, horrible purple fabric rested. Envy noticed there weren�t any clawing
marks on his furniture and distantly wondered if his cat wasn�t sick. It never
seemed to act on all those destructive instincts people said cats had.
He found said pest in the kitchen floor, writhing and
howling and scratching the wooden floor vehemently with claws and metal. It was
glowing in a foretelling red shade, almost the same Dante while using a stone.
Envy saw the marks of a distant array appear on the floor and knew someone was
casting something related to his cat, from far away, if the marks were so
faint.
When the glow died, Edward Elric slumped forward,
shivering. Rolling to his side, he curled slightly, wincing. He moaned
miserably; his cloths were dirty and slightly torn. Golden eyes looked upwards,
shyly, afraid. Envy�s face was unreadable.
�I��
The front door slammed shut forcefully, shaking the
house to its fundament. Ed told himself he wasn�t crying, and that if he was,
it was for the deep settled ache of automail, not because he felt his heart
breaking.
And certainly not because Envy was gone.

~*~*~

The next time an angry mob had tried to wreck havoc on the old
cabin, they had been confronted, though certainly not by what they had been
expecting. The blonde haired, leather wearing Alchemist that had greeted them,
had kindly told them to fuck the hell off or remain to become cinders. No one
had been stupid enough to try and provoke his wrath, when they saw the way his
body glowed with a faint reddish aura.
He went to town twice a month and kept the cabin
clean. He was civil to the townsfolk, as long as no one followed him back home.
He offered to help around with some odd jobs after a while, talked little but
always did a flawless work. There was a muted aura of power around him, a deep
melancholy in his eyes that made people wonder.
Rumor said he had killed the former owner of the cabin
and was being eaten alive by guilt� or that he was the lover, a powerful
Alchemist that had tried to help his lover and failed horribly.
Others, though, said he was just a heart broken boy
who had found the cabin empty and had stayed.

~*~*~

Ed sat back, staring at the plant thoughtfully. Reaching out with
his flesh hand, he watched with morbid fascination as the red glow transferred
itself from his hand to the plant. In less than five minutes, there was a line
of rosebushes circling the house, and flowers of all possible colors blooming
into the late afternoon sun.
He smiled.

~*~*~

The rhythmic sound of the broom�s twigs against the floor were
highly therapeutic for the blonde, but it was interrupted when he felt, rather
than saw, the stranger beyond the fence. Ed grinned a crooked grin and
shrugged, going back inside.
That night, he set dinner for two and was not
surprised when Envy sat across from him, scowling until he tasted the roast
beef.
Ed shrugged again, eating in silence as Envy wondered
just how he had know it was his favorite.

~*~*~

�Oh stop snickering and help me get them off,� Ed growled irritated,
wincing every time he snatched a torn off his body.
Envy stared at him for a moment, tense and ready to
fight, as he had been since he came back. Then shrugged and knelt down,
reaching out for the hair. Ed grimaced every time he tugged on the golden
strands, but said nothing every time a finger rubbed his scalp. He didn�t purr,
but only because he was certain that would be undignified.
�How did you managed to fall into the rosebushes?�
Envy asked after a long while, when there were no more thorns in Ed�s hair, but
he kept running his fingers through it anyway.
Ed blushed brightly, unconsciously leaning back.
�Was trying to catch a bird.�
Envy grinned despite himself.

~*~*~

Ed awoke with the feeling of thin fingers running over his spine.
Instinctively, he arched back, groaning softly.
�Why haven�t you gone home?� Envy asked softly, no
little amount of awe in his voice as his fingers rubbed more consistently.
�I am home,� Said Ed, through half lidded eyes,
trying to maintain his balance without falling off the couch.
Golden and purple met for an instant, then Envy
smiled. Not a grin or a smirk; a small, weak smile.
�Come to bed.�
And Ed smiled back, hugging the warm body as he had
never been able to as a cat.

~*~*~

�I can�t believe someone could be so stupid,� Grumbling
under his breath, Ed slumped on the floor, head resting on the couch.
He wasn�t disappointed; ten seconds later, a slim hand
came down to rub his scalp gently.
�Stupid kids trying to play god,� He was still glowing
faintly, but unlike that cold aura that followed Dante, Ed was warm, inviting,
�At least I got something out of the whole ordeal.�
�Oh?� Envy looked down with an arched eyebrow. Once
more, he was gifted the crooked grin, golden eyes playful.
�Mhm,� Ed nodded lazily, �Apparently Mustang did it,
became F�hrer the bastard.�
�Hn,� The Homunculus didn�t care much for human
affairs, �So of course you�ll be going to meet him then.�
�Yes,� Ed stood up, regretfully parting from those
slim fingers, and cracked his back horribly, �We leave for Central next week.�
�Fine then� wait,� Envy blinked, startled, �We?�
Ed smiled, amused by the badly hidden surprise in the
purple eyes and shrugged.
�Someone has to make sure I don�t climb up trees
looking for birds, right?�
Envy laughed then, and there was no sound more
precious to Ed than that.

~*~*~

�Brother!�
Ed laughed as Al tackled him, pushing them down to the
grass as he did so. He held onto him tightly, afraid he would disappear into
thin air if he let go.
�Fullmetal,� Came a richer voice, thick with
amusement.
Embarrassed, Al pulled back as the new F�hrer, the
other time Flame Alchemist, arched his eyebrow at him. Ed looked calm, calmer
than he had ever seen him, still wearing black leather, still wearing that
ridiculous red coat, and now also sporting a silk scarf that hung from his neck
smoothly.
�Edward, Mustang,� Ed shrugged, then picked up the
black cat purring at his feet, dark feline eyes glared up at the F�hrer as the
cat made itself comfortable in the blonde�s arms, �The Fullmetal is gone, and
it�s not going to come back. Ever.�

~*~*~

Ed stayed in a guest room of the new F�hrer�s home, amusing
himself over Mustang and his brother�s feeble attempts to hide the obvious. The
black cat, which he unexpectedly named Vy, followed him around all the time,
and showed signs of an extraordinary intelligence. Ed merely smiled every time
Mustang brought the subject up.
�Your brother,� Envy said out of the blue, laying on
his bed comfortably, �He�s not as bad as he could be.�
Ed smiled at him, taking in the image of the taller
teen on bed, purple eyes half lidded and hair pooling around him.
�No, he�s not,� Ed reached forward, letting his hand
dig into green strands. Envy purred at the mildly rough caress, �Neither are
you.�
He was not surprised when lips pressed lightly against
him and opened his mouth willingly as he pulled the blonde to him.

~*~*~

�Here,� Al stared as his brother�s hand glowed into a familiar red
hue, then reached over to his temple. The small cut closed almost at once.
�You�� Ed shrugged. Helping Alphonse back to his feet,
he smiled. The younger Elric furrowed his brow, �You have the stone.�
�Sort of,� Petting Al�s hair affectionately, Ed�s eyes
twinkled, �Rather, I am the stone. The perfect one.�
�But that means�� Al sat back on the stairs which he
had just fallen from, eyes wide, �Your arm and your leg, you could-�
�Get them back?� Ed shrugged again, smile not wavering
as he looked down at his metal fingers, �Probably, but I don�t want to. They help
me remember you know?�
�Ed��
�It�s a perfect evening for a walk� Vy?�
The blonde Alchemist walked slowly to the garden,
black cat at his heels, and as Al watched them, he wondered what his brother
meant.

~*~*~

�I can�t force you to come back, of course,� Mustang told him,
eyeing him carefully, but Ed was more interested in the pattern of the teacup
in front of him than anything else, �But I would like to have your help� With
the Homulunculi guideless now��
The cat on Ed�s lap tensed visibly, though the F�hrer
took no notice of it. Ed did.
�The Homulunculi are all gone,� The blonde�s voice
booked no doubt about his words, �Wrath and Gluttony died when the stone was
completed and Envy is the reason I hadn�t reported back earlier.�
�You took care of him, then?�
Ed petted his cat lovingly, smiling slightly.
�Let�s just say I made sure he won�t harm anyone
else.�

~*~*~

Being back to the cabin was delightful. The roses were on full
bloom and their sweet scent stretched to every corner as the two weary men
stepped inside. Envy changed forms smoothly, reaching out to sit on his
favorite chair by the window while Ed stretched soundly.
�We should have stopped to buy food in town,� Envy
mused distractedly, rather enjoying the way Ed�s shirt rode up to reveal smooth
skin.
�Why don�t you make some tea, I�ll go.�
�Fine, but buy some wine.�
�My, Envy, have something in mind?�
�Oh fuck off, Elric.�
Ed chuckled as the taller teen stalked away, blushing
faintly.

~*~*~

In the end, they had had a quiet meal, with Envy�s favorite meat
loaf and good wine. They both knew it was anniversary celebration, but didn�t
find it necessarily to say it. As they went to bed, arms sneaked around Ed�s
waist and a pair of lips descended on his neck, trailing a tantalizing path
upwards, to the shell of his ear.
�Alright?� Envy�s voice was earthy as he grounded his
hips slowly against Ed�s back.
The blonde Alchemist arched back with a moan, then
twisted himself around to kiss the Homunculus fiercely. Hands rubbed, pulled, pinched
and petted as they rolled around the bed, not sure what they were doing but
damn aware it was well overdue. Touching and kissing, clothes were discarded
easily to allow them the feel of skin on skin, sweat slick as they panted. Ed
arched back with groan, submitting easily to the experience and need and heat
that Envy was willing, desperate to give.
When it was over, they were curling on soiled sheets,
trembling from aftershocks and feeling warm in ways they had never before.
�I� I�� Envy stared down at the blonde who had given
it all, without reservations, who had made his name a moan, plea and sigh, who
was smiling softly as he struggled with the words.
�I know.�
And as Ed kissed him, the Homunculus knew his
feelings, unnamed and unexplainable, were reciprocated.

~*~*~

Ed awoke, for once, before Envy did. Looking at his lover with a
small smile, he leaned in to brush a kiss to the green hair. He walked out of
bed and threw some clothes carelessly, a certain determinate glint in his eye.
He walked deep into the forest, to the remains of the cabin and the lonesome
grave. When he retrieved the white bones from earth, he had caressed them
softly, smiling.
�You�re not taking him away, ever,� Ed said to the
world at large, looking up to the moon, no more than a sliver of silver, �I�m
not going to let you.�

~*~*~

Envy awoke when he felt the tingle on his spine and panicked when
he noticed Ed was not in bed. He tried to move, to speak, but he couldn�t. He
felt small and vulnerable and felt a surge of hatred as he pieced things
together.
Let�s just say I made sure he won�t harm anyone else.
�Shh,� Purple eyes snapped to the bedroom door,
narrowing dangerously as Ed smiled at him, �It�s going to hurt, but trust me�� He
walked over to where Envy lay, unmoving. A hand reached out to caress his skin,
tenderly, �I trusted you, didn�t I, Vy? Now you have to trust me with this��
Envy forced himself to breath, then swallowed hard as
Ed raised him from bed with ease. Deceptively small, he was much stronger than
he looked like. In the living room, the feeling of helplessness and fear grew
tenfold, and Envy looked dizzily at the floor. The couch � purple and horrible
thing � and the other furniture had been backed so that Ed could chalk a large
array in the center. The outer circle in the array was not made of chalk,
though, but from crushed bone, and Envy whimpered pathetically as he felt his
power draining. Ed laid him in the center of the array, carefully, the smile
never faltering.
�Now� breath, Vy, deeply.�
Envy wanted to whimper again, instead, as Ed clasped
his hands, glowing in that eerie red glow and powering up the array, he
screamed.

~*~*~

Envy came around with the feeling of a hand combing his hair,
calloused fingers tenderly playing with the long strands. Tentatively looking
up, the Homunculus found Ed smiling down at him. He could feel the change, the
warmth inside he hadn�t felt since he was alive, yet the undercurrent of unholy
power, of immortality was still there. He was still Envy, but he had recovered
something he had lost over four hundred years ago.
He had also lost that bothersome weakness that kept
him tied down to the shabby cabin, the irrational fear someone would find his
remains and use them against him. Ed had set him free.
�Why?� He asked huskily, afraid of the answer, yet
craving it desperately.
The blonde smiled.
�Because I don�t want to spend eternity alone.�

~*~*~

Ed took off his coat and his scarf and squeezed water out of them
before entering. Envy glanced up from where he was reading one of the ton of
books the blonde had bought over time. He entered the kitchen to find Ed,
soaked to the bone and leaving an ugly puddle of water on the floor, drying
five little fur balls with a towel.
�I thought you got generally caught fishes while, you
know, fishing,� Envy mused with an arched eyebrow, resting his weight
against the doorway.
�Oh shut up,� Rubbing the last one dry, Ed smiled at
the soft mewls, �Someone tried to drown them on the river.�
Envy made a non-committal sound in the back of his
throat.
�Do I look like an animal lover, Elric?� The green
haired Sin asked almost viciously, though there was no bite in his tone.
�Not at all,� Ed grinned, that goofy �you-know-you-love-me�
grin that made Envy�s knees weak.
The five kittens in the table meowed and reached out
to investigate their savior, curl against the towels, or in the case of a black
one, trot purposely towards Envy, pushing its head against the immobile hand
until it was petting it. Envy snorted.
�I guess I could get to like them,� He rubbed the
kitten�s head in a way that made Ed mourn the loss of his feline body for a
moment, �But only if you pick the names this time.�
Ed laughed.
