FullMetal Alchemist Falling in love with Envy

A Kiss in the Shadows

Boredom had become my constant companion within the mansion's gilded confines. The days blended in a monotonous haze and the weight of unanswered questions pressed upon me like an oppressive shroud. It was as if the world beyond those walls had become a distant dream, and I longed for a taste of freedom, a glimpse of the life I once knew. One evening, my restlessness reached its breaking point. I stormed out of my room, determination coursing through my veins. I had to find Envy, the ever-watchful guardian who kept me confined to this gilded cage. I needed something, anything, to break the monotony. I roamed the dimly lit corridors, searching for any sign of him. It didn't take long before I stumbled upon his familiar form, lurking in the shadows like a guardian demon.
"There you are," I said, my tone a mix of frustration and longing. Envy turned his gaze to me, his eyes gleaming in the low light. "What's gotten into you, Beauty?" I crossed my arms, the impatience in my voice evident. "I'm tired of being cooped up in this mansion. I want to go out."
Envy's expression remained impassive, his voice stern. "You know that's not possible. It's far too dangerous for you to be outside." I couldn't help but tease him, a mischievous glint in my eyes. "It seems you're not capable of completely protecting me, Envy. You're pretty useless for a bodyguard." His facade cracked for a moment, irritation flickering across his features. "That's not true, Beauty. You don't know my strengths. "Then show me," I challenged, my defiance driving me forward. Envy hesitated, torn between duty and my relentless determination. "Fine. But if we do this, we need to be discreet. You'll have to disguise yourself."A thrill coursed through me as I accepted his terms. "I'll do whatever it takes."He outlined the plan, instructing me to wear a brown wig and brown contact lenses to conceal my identity. I hurriedly transformed myself, barely recognizing the person in the mirror. Envy was waiting for me at the entrance as I descended the grand staircase, a sly smile playing on his lips. He had undergone his transformation, his disguise rendering him nearly unrecognizable. We ventured into town, the night air alive with the sounds and scents of a world I had missed dearly. The bustling streets, vibrant colors, and ordinary people going about their lives felt like a lifeline to me. It was a shame no one recognized me, hidden beneath my disguise. We strolled through the winding streets, my heart lightening with each step. It felt liberating to be out in the open, even if it meant concealing my true self. My gaze fell upon a fruit stand, and I couldn't resist the sight of red plum apples, their crimson skin glistening in the lamplight. The craving was undeniable. Envy noticed my desire and with swift and stealthy movements, he stole one for me. Annoyance surged within me at his audacity, but before I could voice my protest, he silenced me."Just eat the damn apple," he said with a hint of exasperation. "Next time, just say thank you, "I grumbled under my breath but indulged in the sweet, juicy fruit, savoring the taste of freedom it represented. As we continued our journey, my excitement waned when I stumbled upon a familiar figure. It was Ling, the enigmatic man who had crossed my path before. This time, however, he was a stranger to me, his identity hidden behind the disguise. I collided with him, offering a hurried apology. Ling's eyes narrowed as he studied me, his gaze lingering on my face."Sorry," I mumbled, feeling a wave of unease wash over me. Ling's expression shifted a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. He seemed to sense something familiar in my voice, and doubt clouded his features. I couldn't risk him uncovering the truth, not here, not now. I stopped in my tracks, my grip on Envy's arm tightening as I whispered urgently, "We need to leave."Envy's confusion was evident, but I refused to explain. I tugged at his arm, compelling him to turn away and retreat. As we hurried through the bustling streets, Ling's presence still dogged us. Envy's questions hung in the air, unanswered, but I couldn't risk a confrontation in the open. We quickened our pace, seeking refuge in the anonymity of the crowd. Beauty had to disappear, if only for a moment. My eyes darted around until I spotted an alleyway. With Envy in tow, I darted into its shadowy embrace. The narrow confines of the alley pressed us closer together, our breaths mingling in the charged silence. Without warning, I leaned in, capturing Envy's lips with my own, and hid us in the darkness of the alleyway. The kiss was sudden, electrifying, and filled with emotions that defied explanation. Fireworks ignited within me, each touch of our lips setting off a dazzling display of sensation. Our kiss deepened, our world vanishing into a blur of colors and sensations. Envy's arms encircled me, pulling me closer, and my heart hammered in my chest as the world spun. When we finally broke the kiss, we remained locked in a wordless embrace, our gazes locked. Envy's confusion mirrored my own as we struggled to make sense of the unspoken connection that had just ignited between us. He finally broke the silence, his voice filled with uncertainty. "You have a lot of explaining to do."
