Who Said I'm Jealous?

Chapter 12

I woke up and saw light flooding into my room. I got up, yawned, and walked around the room. It was slightly bigger than the room at Becca's. I walked out and made some breakfast. I looked at the clock for a moment. 8:12 AM. I looked back at the stove and continued making breakfast. Before I knew it, I felt arms wrap around my waist and a head rested on my shoulder. I smiled and turned to kissed Y/N on her cheek, but she turned and our lips met. I smiled to myself and pecked her lips.

"Morning, Y/N."

"Morning, Envy. What are you making?"

"Just some eggs and toast."

"Smells good."

"Well, I thought that you're leaving soon for work, that I'd make breakfast for you."

"That's so sweet. Thank you, Envy."

We ate breakfast together and she got ready for work. I said goodbye to her and now I was alone. I sat out on the deck and looked into the city. There was nothing I could do since everyone knows who I am and what I am. They wouldn't let me do anything. Wait, I completely forgot. I can change into anyone I want to. I grabbed my set of keys and walked out of the apartment. I walked out of the building and changed into someone else. But none of this felt right. I changed a few more times until I decided to just stay as myself. I walked along the rode and saw a few people were giving me weird looks. Y/N's birthday is coming up soon. I headed to a store to get her something nice. But while I was looking around, the store manager came to me.

"Sir, I'm very sorry, but you need to leave," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"You are making a few people uncomfortable here."

"That's not my problem," I said.

"But I must think of my customers."

"That considers me as well."

"I need to ask you to leave before I call security."

"Is it because I'm different? Is it because everyone here knows what I did when I was with the others? I'll tell you all this right here and right now, they're all dead! I can't cause any harm now!" I looked at the manager and walked out of the store. I walked down the road, thinking of what to get her. I walked back to the apartment and sat there, trying to get ideas. Nothing came to me. So I waited until Y/N came back home. When she did, we ate dinner, and then we walked around in the woods.

"How was your day, Y/N?" I asked.

"Alright. Just filing paperwork was all I did today. My hands are so still."

"Here," I said as I took one of her hands and massaged her muscles in her hand. I did the same to the other hand.

"That feels much better, thank you, Envy."

We kept on walking, enjoying the nature around us. We spotted a few animals and different birds. We walked to an old bridge that has been around since fifty years ago. It was one of those old rope and wood bridges. It was above a big lake that looked twenty feet deep. It was also twenty feet under the bridge! Fall to your death if you fell down one of those. We were sitting by the bridge, just talking.

"What happened while I was gone? I know you and I know how you don't like to be in one spot for a long period of time."

"I went out and looked at a few stores. One store even asked me to leave because I was making people uncomfortable."

"They just don't realize that you're not one of the other homunculi. You're different from them."

"I think you only see that, Y/N."

"I have to."

"You really don't. You can still see me as a homunculus who had killed thousands of people. Who are still wanted in a few areas."

"You're still wanted?"

"Yes. That's why I need to stay hidden. I need to transform into different people, but I never feel right when I do that. I don't feel like myself."

"Because you're trying to put on a face that says you're not a homunculus. I don't care what you are, Envy. I still love you for you."

"Thank you, Y/N."

There was no reply. I turned and saw Richard had her in a choke hold. A gun was pointing at her head.

"Drop her, Richard!"

"Why should I?" I looked behind him and saw his lady friend was there. "You said you're wanted in different areas. If you give yourself to us, then I won't hurt Y/N."

"What do you plan on doing with her?"

"Letting her go. Since I'm already engaged to her," he was referring to the lady behind him, "she doesn't mean anything to me. But I know she means everything to you, Envy."

"I don't want to fight, Richard."

"I thought you'd say that."

He pointed the gun at me and shot at my head.

"ENVY!" Y/N yelled.

I fell back onto the ground. Richard came over and bent low to the ground, "Stay down."

I punched him in the face and got up. Richard had given Y/N to the lady and they were running across the bridge.

"It'll take more than a bullet to kill me," I said as I ripped the bullet out of my head.

He knew he couldn't kill me. He ran towards Y/N and the woman. I ran after him. We got to the middle when the bridge was starting to give out. He punched me in the stomach. I doubled over as pain ran throughout my midsection. He kicked my shoulder, which made a few of the wooden planks underneath me break. I fell slightly and grabbed onto a rope. He took out a knife and cut the rope I was grabbing onto.

"Envy!" Y/N yelled. She ran across the bridge, but Richard stopped her. She punched him in the face, grabbed his arm, and flung him over her shoulder. He landed behind her and she made her way towards me.

"Don't try to save me, Y/N."

"I can't let you go, Envy. We just got together! I can't lose you."

She reached out her hand. I tried to grab it, but the rope snapped, making me swing farther from her grasp.

"Envy! The rope!"

I looked up and saw the rope was beginning to rip. I looked over at Y/N, tears streaming down her face.

"Take care, Y/N."

"Envy! Envy, no!"

"Get off the bridge. It's beginning to break. I don't want to know that you died trying to save me."

"Envy," she said.

"Go! Get out of here!"

"What about you?"

"I'll come find you. I promise."

The rope snapped and I began falling towards the lake.

"ENVY!"

"Go, Y/N!"

She got up and ran across the bridge. She ran past Richard and the woman. It felt like I was falling back towards the gate. It was the same feeling. I closed my eyes. I imagined Becca and Y/N. The two people who have ever cared about me. But then, my father showed up. I smiled to myself and I opened my eyes. I was still falling.

"I love you, Y/N. I promise, I'll come find you."

Soon, I was surrounded by the cold water.
