*Flashback
Slashes of blood appeared on the back of Envy's skin and healed again as Father whipped him. He cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face.
"How pathetic. You're so weak." Father continued, Envy doing his best not to pass out from the pain. "How could you? Why would you let him get away? Don't you realize how vital he is to the plan?"
"Please..." Envy sobbed. "Please stop...I-I can't, I can't handle it..."
His regeneration did not help with the pain, as it just made his skin softer and more vulnerable.
Father scoffed. "You're a homunculus. Created in my image to serve only me. Face it Envy, these feelings are FAKE." He struck harder. "Edward Elric is nothing more than a human and a pawn."
Father paused. Envy breathed heavily, shaking in fear.
"I'll give you one more chance. Fail again, and I shall destroy you."
Envy looked up at Father, eyes glistening.
"Do not fail me."
*Back to the story
Lust came out from the trees. "Well well well, if it isn't the fullmetal alchemist himself. You seemed to have gotten very cozy with him, haven't you Envy?"
"Lust. Aren't you supposed to be somewhere else?" Envy crossed his arms over his chest, standing close to Edward protectively.
"Envy...?" Ed whispered. "You never told me what you were doing here."
Envy just stared straight ahead at Lust. "Why don't you just mind your own business?"
"You're not the one in charge here. Besides, I don't think you have the upper hand here." She extended her fingers quickly, just an inch from Ed's neck. "Come, Envy. Or else I can always tell Father about your little affair."
Envy's breath quickened just the slightest bit. He couldn't go through that torture. Not again. And he had to protect Ed.
Lust's lip curled, knowing the decision that Envy was going to make.
Envy walked towards Lust, not looking back at Ed.
"Envy! Envy wait! You don't have to work with them! I know you're good!" A tear came to Ed's eye.
Envy didn't look back. He knew that in Edward's eyes it looked like he was betraying him. What Ed didn't realize was that Envy was actually helping him.
"ENVY!"
Envy's lip quivered as he walked away with Lust, but he didn't dare show Ed.
His life depended on it.
