''What if God was one of us?...''

''I should grab something for this pain.'' Envy thought feeling everyone look at him as he made his way to the small store where Edward went often for his medication refills, ''I can probably grab a few art things for the pipsqueak, while I'm at it...'' He thought ignoring the whispering and stares he was receiving. ''Speaking of money... I should probably mention that to him soon...'' Envy said in thought as he made his way to the first aid aisle once inside the store, ''Looks like the other half of the bad relationship, finally came around.'' Marcoh's voice said not surprising Envy, since the older male wasn't a fan of his ignoring him heaving a tired sigh deciding not to say anything. ''Usually the boy has something to say back to me...'' Marcoh said surprised looking over the now short haired male, noticing his beaten appearance and nervous anxiety when someone passed by him, as he grabbed a few things passing by him never saying a word to him, ''Now that I think about it... Archer was talking about him when he came in earlier...'' The pharmacist thought.







''Oils, brushes and canvases... Maybe the pipsqueak would like that.'' Envy said grabbing the things but panicked dropping the items when feeling shaky making a sound in frustration, putting his hands to his face sighing, ''Fuck!...'' Reacting when his face throbbed from the pain in his bruised cheek, jumping up at the sound of someone's voice next to him. ''Those aren't strong enough, if you're looking for painkillers get these.'' The voice said making Envy turn over to see Marcoh looking at him serious holding a different bottle of painkillers towards him, ''Since when do you help problematic customers.'' Envy said guarded picking up the things frustrated when the older male never left him alone. ''Fuck off old man!-'' Envy said angrily but stopped when his face throbbed more, ''Give me all this. Let me grab you some better things for your current condition.'' Marcoh said getting the art supplies and other things from the surprised male, looking down at the art supplies, ''This must be for Edward... That's a surprising change...'' He thought putting the art stuff on his counter and going over to the first aid aisle as Envy followed behind quietly but scowling.







''Take these painkillers, they're much stronger... This ointment... These bandages, since they stay on longer... And this.'' The older male said putting the supplies in Envy's arms seeing him look down at the extra item, and drop his scowl to a curious expression, ''What's this for...'', ''Silicon gel sheet, they're good to reduce the appearance of scars after two to four months when used every day for 12 hours.'' Marcoh explained as he put the other items back. ''Scars? What scars?... ?!'' Envy started seeing Marcoh silently point to his wrists when he put the last item back, surprising Envy who looked down to see his thumbs were still holding the sleeves over his wrists looking back to Marcoh who walked over behind the counter silently, confusing Envy as to how the older male knew about his self harm scars. ''Come here so I can ring all of this up.'' Marcoh said gesturing Envy over who still looked confused when Marcoh leaned in towards him and spoke quietly, ''I've seen your scars when you've come in before... And also I want to warn you, Archer spoke about you earlier gloating about how he left you, and said he wasn't done with you... When you leave, go straight home to Edward, take care of one another.'' Marcoh said simply.






''Man... He's observant for an old man..." Envy said flustered but still embarrassed about what he said about his scars, once he left the small store walking down the block, turning the corner but stopped in his steps thinking about what he said about Archer making a face at what he was saying about him, "He said he wasn't done with me... But..." He said seeing the coffee shop where Havoc worked wasn't far, debating whether to listen to what Marcoh said or just go look for Havoc about his jacket. ''You know what... Just this once, I'll listen-?!'' Envy said turning back to walk back home but bump into someone immediately regretting the decision when seeing Archer look down at him with a grin, making Envy's blood run cold when he spoke leaning towards him, about to run off till the male grabbed his arm roughly pulling him close to him and speak in a warned tone, ''Make a scene and it'll be worse for you, my boy...'' Archer warned feeling Envy tremble. ''Looks like I did a great job on you... How about we head back to my place and finish where we left off-?!'' The male said leaning in close to the others lips till letting go of Envy suddenly pained holding his arm to see he had received a bite from a large black and white dog standing in front of Envy guarding him, barking at him making the male scowl and glance over to Envy, ''This isn't over...'' He warned walking off quickly before the dog could do something else to him.









Envy was confused as to what happened, but was grateful for the save by the large dog trying to relax since his hands were shaky, glancing down to see the large dog sniffing him carefully and look at him seeing their tail wag suddenly and sit down with an excited bark glancing down noticing the left metal paw, ''I'm grateful for the help, but... Where's your owner?...'' He asked a bit unsure whether to pet the dog or not, seeing the dog waiting for the petting. ''...Thanks...'' Envy said finally petting the eager excited dog reaching for the collar around their neck, ''Den... Let's go find your owner, they're probably worried sick about you.'' He said with Den following after Envy heading for the coffee shop still nervous looking around his surroundings finally reaching the coffee shop tensing up anxiously, sighing heavily feeling the dog nudge his hand and lick it before hearing someone call for the dog. ''Den! How many times do you have to run off on me?'' The new female voice called out making Envy think to himself that she had a pretty voice, ''I hope she didn't bother you too much! She's usually never friendly with anyone unless she knows them...'' The voice added making Envy turn to see greet the owner with a smile, but drop it the moment when seeing the voice belonged to the same blonde female he had seen in Edward's photo earlier.
