"Talk about a rough night..." Envy said waking up in the middle of the night sitting up on the bed to see Edward was fast asleep next to him looking satisfied, glancing away feeling his body ache looking at new marks from the blond on his body mixed with Archer's marks, "A bath sounds good right now...". Despite his body ache the male had managed to get out of bed and make his way to the bathroom and get the bath ready, making a face when getting in the warm water and sitting down leaning back carefully, "You're almost thirty Envy... And look at you become... A fucking nobody..." The male said to himself making a face holding the pink scrubber in his hand. The sound of Edward's cat meowing didn't surprise him never looking to the side, staying quiet for a few minutes before finally speaking up, "You're either going to keep standing there naked or come join me in the tub, Pipsqeak..." He said simply hearing the sound of Edward's footsteps go over to the tub and silently join him.





"Didn't think you were actually going to join me..." Envy said glancing up to the blond who reached over and pulled him onto his lap suddenly, making Envy react, "Hey!-?" He started but stopped when feeling Edward's arms wrap around him and rest his face on his chest, causing him to blush but stay serious tapping the blond on the head with the pink scrubber. "You're going overboard...", "I know... I know you... You don't like when people touch you, not even hugs, but... I feel like after the other day, you need this..." Edward said quietly keeping his hands around Envy, never going further past his waist surprising Envy when the blond shut his eyes staying quiet. "Did you know I almost slept with my childhood friend when I was Sixteen, it's silly but..." Edward said suddenly but still quietly causing Envy to glance down to the blond who was looking at him with his golden eyes embarrassed, "But I couldn't get it up when it actually came to it, and I felt broken at that moment...".





"I couldn't understand why that happened during that time, but somehow we remained friends after we broke up, she never brought it up... She always looked at me with that kind smile always telling my brother to introduce me to some nice guy in the city..." Edward said giving an embarrassed laugh, seeing Envy listening to him silently. "I didn't understand what she meant during that time, till I met a guy at a bar sometime later when we all made our first trip to the city here... Don't know what made me pay attention to him... Maybe it was his sharp eyes when he took off his shades... Or maybe it was his overall cool attitude and dressing... Or maybe the fact that he bought me a drink?..." Edward said softly seeing Envy looking at him still quiet. "You seem uninterested?...", "What? You expected me to cut you off while you talked?" Envy said simply making a face as Edward laughed surprised when Envy got up and turning his back to him, sitting on his lap leaning back on him, "How about I wash your hair for listening... It's the least I could do..." Edward said seeing the others sharp amethyst eyes glance up to him, giving him the green light silently as he glanced away waiting.





''Going to bars underage first thing you get to the city huh?... That's rebellious coming from you. So what happened?'' Envy asked feeling the male behind him throw water over him a few times, before massaging his head and hair with shampoo, "I was curious, I couldn't help it... Though I do suppose seventeen is young to be going to bars, huh?..." Edward said with a laugh. "...I went back to a hotel with the guy, and slept with him... To think a year prior I had broken up with my childhood friend, only to give it up to some good looking stranger... But want to know something weird?... As rough as he looked, he was nothing but gentle with me, so my first time wasn't so bad... I just felt strange afterward when I left not to long after, since he was asleep..." Edward continued. "As weird as I felt, I somehow felt free at that moment... Like... I finally figured out who I was..." Edward continued massaging the males head, "I finally understood what Winry had meant, but you know what?... Even weirder... The guy resembled you with the same sharp amethyst eyes, but he had spiky hair-" Edward said but stop when seeing Envy had fallen asleep from his head massaging, "Oh boy...".





"Mustang... You've be quiet this whole time..." Havoc said keeping Roy company at his place since Riza was walking Hayate, "Is the silence about Edward calling you to see if you were available to mess around with him?" He asked seeing Roy finally react making a face blushing heavily hitting the nail on the head, "Or... Something else besides that?" Havoc asked. "...Those two are really close, don't you think?" Roy asked confusing Havoc at the odd question, "Who's close? Oh!... You mean the kid and his friend..." He said finally understanding what Roy meant, "They're close and a bit odd, so I can understand what you mean... But what makes you think that?" Havoc asked. "I don't know... Edward just seems unhealthily close with his friend...", "Like Stockholm Syndrome?" Havoc added seeing his friend make a face, "More or less... I'm no therapist but, Edward seems to want to get closer to Envy while Envy wants to pull himself away from Edward... But... They seem to need each other... If that makes sense...".





"You're talking about the other day when Envy said those strange things to Edward about still being his friend, and something about not understanding..." Havoc said seeing Roy waving his hand around annoyed, "Forget it, I'm just drunk.", "You seem a bit jealous of the kid's friend...", "I shouldn't be, but I am." Roy said simply. Envy was confused when he had woken up on the couch dressed, and to the smell of food and something baking, sitting up to see Edward sitting on the floor talking to his cat as he seemed to finish a sketch on a canvas, "What time is it?...", "It three in the morning..." Edward said with a laugh looking over to the other male who looked more confused. "And you're eating at this time?", "Well... I haven't eaten since you got back... And after all those rounds well... I'm just a little hungry... Haha... Aren't you hungry?" Edward asked laughing nervously with Envy's stomach growling that moment embarrassing the male who blushed embarrassed, "You did work up my appetite with your energy...".





"By the way, what are you working on?" Envy asked seeing the blond quickly stop his sketching and cover it up, "...Something new..." Edward said surprised when the other didn't pry to see it, "You finally found some art inspiration again? That's great." Envy said simply sitting up making a face since his body hurt. "Jeez, you could at least gone easy on me." Envy said getting up heading for the kitchen but stop when Edward kept looking at him with a small teasing smile, "...What?...", "Sex is great, but you ever have a pie?" He said seeing Envy make a face, "Okay, you get one of those, and then Imma kill you." He said making Edward laugh at how the other couldn't handle jokes. "Envy.", "What?" Envy asked sitting down on the bed taking the painkillers after they had both eaten and cleaned up, "Don't ever say you're a nobody, because I think you're a somebody..." Envy heard the other say, feeling Edward's arms wrap around him, "You and I... Will be somebody someday... But for now let's just focus on surviving another day..." Edward said simply getting Envy a bit down at the statement, "Yeah...".
