Who Could Love a Monster

Chapter 17

-- A/N: Hey it's been a while! So I wrote a little bit of the last chapter a while ago, and I shared it with  EnvyTheJealous27 and they liked it and wanted to finish it! So yay, we got an ending to the story! 😀 Thank you so much for writing such an awesome end!
Also, it's long so I'm splitting it into two chapters. --

{Ending pt.1}

It took me a few seconds to adjust to the blinding light as my eyes fluttered open. I groaned a bit while and odd feeling of energy being drained out of me overpowering my senses as i tried to see past blur of white hospital light. The strange empty feeling in my chest as soon as i realized it was probably some of the energy from the stone leaving, hopefully going to Envy. When my senses were finally cleared the first thing a heard was overwhelming clutter of voices. I blinked few times, the blurs of color quickly morphing into people, lots of people. There were military personnel at from of which stood Mustang and behind them were nurses and random citizens trying to sneak a peak at the mysterious alchemic circle that i drew on hospital floor. They all murmured to themselves as we reappeared and i took a note of otherwise calm expression on Mustang's face before darting my eyes down to Envy. I gulped as i saw his form, limp in the center of the circle. My heart rate increased as i moved swiftly to sit beside him, cradling him in my arms. "Envy..?" I whispered hesistantly all of a sudden i started to doubt ny alchemical skills to bring the near dead back from eternal sleep. The few seconds of silence that passed between everyone in the room was excruciating. The air felt so heavy, like i was carrying a boulder, or that mighy have just been Envy's weight. His body lurched as he cought violently, hoisting himself to a sitting position as he did. My worried frown turned into a smile within a heart beat and i fell forward wrapping my arms tight around him. "You are okey!" I said, tears of joy beginning to roll down my cheeks. I was never so happy to see Envy practically chocking on his own spit, it was better than him being dead after all. His coughs subsided and he slowly returned the hug, body obviously still recovering from ripping out his own life source. "Holy shit, I'm alive? You did it!" he laughed happily and grabbing me tighter pressing his face into the crook of my neck and holding me like he'd bren away for months. "I though i was goner for sure.. God you are incredible." he breathed, voice low in my ear. I let myself relax as we held each other, his words making the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. I almost forgot about the multitude of people in the room, that was until Mustang cleared his throat. We quickly split apart as Envy twisted around, expression fegning annoyance as he saw the flame alchemist looking at him with dead eyed expression. "Okey you've had your fun, now let's go." Mustang spoke, voice void of any empathy and yet when his eyes shifted to me , I coukd see them soften a bit. "Wait.. Where are we going?" I asked, my mind still slighly hazy from all that's happened to me in the past few hours, not to mention that i got almost killed last night. "He's going back to his cell, which he kindly destroyed for us on his way out." Roy responded, sarcasm leaking off of him. Envy rolled his eyes, leaning back on his palm and sighing indignantly. "Yeah, yeah whatever." he weakly retorted, as if he were resigned to spent the rest of eternity there. Now it might have just been my newfound immortality, but it seemed as if it just hit me. He was going to spent his WHOLE life in prison. Not just a normal life span, a literal enernity! And suddenly it seemed unacceptable. Maybe it was for selfish reasons that i refused to accept it, or maybe it was because i knew he changed, but either way, i wasn't letting them take him back to that cage. "Wait!" i said loudly, causing everyone to stop and face me as they were leaving. "Sir I.. Please don't take him back there.." I attempted, knowing very well that that was as rock a start as any. Mustang raised a brow and Envy did the same. "(L/N) what are you talking about." Mustang crossed his arms , his words more of a confused statement than an annoyed question. "I-I..." i started but was interupted by Envy's voice. "It's okey (Y/N). I'm going with them. See ya later." Envy told with small smile after my attempt to save him from this cruel destiny. I stayed freezed on place looking after Envy as he slowly disappeared from my sight. [See ya later...huh] I replied in my head. I can't wait to see you as soon as possible. Some officer stood next to me and outstretched his hand for me to stand up. I get ahold of hand and stood up and sit on hospital bed. Officer started to ask me lot of questions about the guy who tried to kill me. I didn't saw him well so i wasn't big help with searching for him. After officer had everything he wanted from me he left and nurse came to me and told me that i should stay here for another day. I just slowly nodded and lay in bed. All this commotion tired me and soon i fell asleep with my thoughts on Envy.
