I couldn't blink as I stared at Envy who stood bare and vulnerable in front me. I hadn't actually expected him to transform into his real form because he was so angry and hated his looks. But this was unexpected and bewildering.

Turning completely while wiping my wet hands on my shorts, I took in his strange appearance. My lips were parted, my breathing was uneven and my heart was beating hard and fast. Nervousness bubbled within me along with an odd sense of excitement. Clenching my fists and swallowing the lump that had formed in my throat, I stepped to him, looking over his face while he glared at the floor.

When I was close enough, I noticed that he was a head taller than me, easily six inches more than what he was in his preferred form, and was mildly broader in physique as well – almost athletic. His attire had not changed much though. His blonde hair fell a little past his shoulders, and his eyes reflected the same fiery spark that I had seen in Edward's eyes. Though there was something different too – they were more masculine, defined, shimmering, and so deep. I had never seen eyes so expressive before.

Then again, Envy's eyes had always been beautiful and expressive even when they were the homunculus violet.

There was obvious anger, betrayal, pain, annoyance and curiosity swirling in the depths of his eyes, like it had nearly always been there. They were like mirrors of his soul, expressing the true emotions he had inside.

"You're beautiful," the words slipped through my lips before I could take note of what I was going to say. His eyes widened at that – from the hate, anger and disgust, the expression in his eyes turned to surprised and embarrassment. He said nothing though and we maintained intense eye contact. I felt a swell in me at how transparent he was with me now.

As attractive as he was, resembling Edward, I found him more attractive in the form he preferred. I preferred his homunculus looks. The profundity of his violet eyes, his long, dark, silky hair, his lean but strong physique had me mesmerized more than what I saw now despite it too being rather handsome.

The burning of my eyes had me finally blink to break the intense staring contest we were having. Having returned to my senses too thanks to that, I retracted my hands from his face. I averted my eyes only to gasp as I was grabbed roughly by the shoulders and pushed back onto the table. I gasped again at the pain I felt in my torso but it was soon forgotten at the fact that Envy was leaning over me with his lips moving feverishly against mine. His eyes were shut tightly, his fingers digging into my arms painfully as he tilted his head to the side and pressed harder against my lips.

My body quivered and I brought my hands to his shoulders to push him off. His weight on my stomach was making it hard for me to breathe. I broke the contact of our lips by turning my head to the side, gasping, "E-Envy, get off! I c-can't breathe!"
