Envy POV

I ran as fast as I could. They were right. They were alright. I'm a monster and I know it.

Finally I found an alleyway that had no people nearby.
I hid inside and sat down, hugging my knees.

"Dammit, why can't he just accept it and leave me alone?", I mumbled to myself.

I felt a hand pat my head and I looked up. Ed's face had a warm smile.

He knelt down in front of me and took my hand.

" Envy, please tell me what's going on", he said. I took a deep breath.

"Edward, I'm a monster. You know it. I know it. Those soldiers, the waitresses, the damn voices in my head...." I trailed off as I got choked up.

"Voices? Envy what voices?", Edward asked.

I cleared my throat and continued.

"I've been hearing voices and they've been telling me that I'm a monster. And it's true. Its all true I know it! I'm a monster Edward!!! A MONSTER!!", I yelled.

Edward gave a look of sympathy. " Envy, its not true. Please don't say that. You've just been through so much. But you don't have to be alone", he patted my head and I looked at him.

"Envy, I'm here for you. You know that", he stated.

My eyes filled with tears. " Envy, I love you", he said.
I sniffled.
"I-I love you too", I replied.

My whole body started shaking. " It hurt Edward, their words hurt. So much....", I said as my voice cracked.

I wanted to cry so badly.

Edward pulled me close and held me tight.
"I know Envy, I know....", he cooed.

I buried my face in his chest. " Envy it's alright, let it all out", Edward said softly.

I started to cry my heart out.

Edward rubbed my back and rocked me slightly. "That's it, there you go. Its alright", he said.

I kept crying and he just sat there comforting me the whole time.

" I'm sorry Ed! I didn't wanna leave you! I didn't mean it! I need you! I need you Edward!!", I wailed.

Edward held me tighter and kissed my head. "I'm right here. I promise", he assured.

I kept crying for a bit longer than I started to calm down a bit.

I was reduced to a sniffling mess.

" Come on, let's get you home okay. You can get some proper rest", Edward said.

I nodded and clung to him. He picked me up and carried me home.
