I woke up, my body acheing and my stomach pleasantly warm. Envy was sitting up, talking to himself. "Hm..?" I muttered tiredly. He looked to me as I sat up. "Oh you finally woke up," He said. "W-What time is it..? And why is my stomach uncomfortably warm..?" I asked. Envy sighed. "It must be around lunch time, You slept in for a while." He said. "As for the warmth, I'm not sure. It must be the fact you were for some reason cuddling me" My face went bright red. "S-SORRY!-" I apologized. "You're alright." He said. I laughed nervously, Then got up, only to realize that my legs were extremely sore. Must be from running from Wrath yesterday. I thought. Envy looked out the window. "why were you sleeping with me anyway? I forgot." I asked him. "Wrath wanted me to," He looked to me. That's when I noticed them. His eyes. They were a beautiful shade of violet with Cat-like pupils, And they were filled with evil, Jealousy, hate, a little bit of annoyance, and...I may be wrong, But I swear I saw some care in them as well.
I was startled as Wrath's voice cut through the silence of the house, calling for Envy. Envy perked up. "Wrath, I'm in here," He called back. Soon, Wrath came in and looked at me, Smiling brightly. "Hey Mira! How are you?" Honestly he was adorable. "Hi Wrath, I'm doing Okay-Ish.." I smiled. Envy eyed me.
Later that day, I laid in my room, the sun was setting and shining into the window. From staring up, I caught a quick glance of another little boy standing in the corner of my room, What's up with all the kids?? I laid in bed, waiting for Envy to join me, When I heard thunder. Then I saw someone small pop their head in the door. It was Wrath and he had tears in his eyes. "M-Mira? Can I sleep with you?" He asked. "oh, Of course Wrath..is something wrong?" I said sitting up and scooting over to the outside of the bed so he could sleep in between me and the wall. Luckily, The bed was big so we could probably fit 4 adults. Wrath climbed into the bed, laying next to me and cuddling next to me. I smiled and put my arm around him. "I'm scared," He said, nuzzling his face into my side. "Of the storm?" I asked. He nodded. "Don't be scared Wrath.. a little storm can't hurt you," I assured him. He looked at me and smiled. "really?" I nodded. "Really! But, That doesn't mean that its bad to be scared. I mean, Fear is a natural thing, even for Homunculi!" I put one hand in the air and looked the shadow it projected on the wall when lightning flashed. "B-but Pride isn't scared. He's not scared of anything. Not even Envy." Wrath muttered. I laughed a bit. "What?" He asked, frowning at me. "Pride has to be scared of something, Everyone is. I bet even Envy has his fears." I told him. He gazed at me with wide curious eyes. I smiled then something caught my eye. I looked to it and I saw Pride standing in my doorway. I sat up. "Pride? I thought Envy was talking to you," I said. "He said he had something he needed to do." Pride said. There was a big crash of thunder and Pride's eyes widened. He began trembling. "Pride?" A sympathetic look grew on my face. "are you scared of the Storm too?" I asked and he nodded, looking down with a guilty face. I patted the spot next to me and he crawled up into the bed too, laying next to me. I laid down between the boys. "You know, you guys think you're scared of stuff, But really, What you are afraid of is nothing compared to what I am afraid of." I stared up. "Like what?" Pride asked. "Well... Death, Murder, War..... And other things that you two are too young for." I told them. They nodded in understanding and I smiled. "Are you afraid of the dark?" Wrath asked. "or Thunderstorms?" Pride added. I smiled. "Yes, I am afraid of the dark, But I see a hidden beauty to thunderstorms, Just how the lightning lights up the sky. Sure, I don't like the noise, But the lightning really is beautiful... Dangerous-" "-but Beautiful." Someone finished. I looked to the voice and saw Envy leaning in the doorway. He came to us with his bored, grumpy face.
"Oh! hey Envy," I said, smiling wider. He smiled VERY slightly and sat next to me without words. That's the first time I've actually seen him Smile. I thought Pride looked at him. "I guess what you said was right Envy.." He said. "Mira does deserve a chance." His face softened, Then hardened again. "But that doesn't mean that I trust her yet!" Pride said while cuddling into me. Envy nodded. "good," He replied. "Now, We should all get to bed," He said, laying next to Pride. I covered all four of us up and we all talked for about an hour until we all fell asleep.
