Beneath the Mask
Warning: Yaoi (m/m sexual relationship), Angst
Pairing: Envy x Edward Elric
Under the mask:
Broken and cracked,
You'll find someone
Who is lonely, unloved.
State Alchemist Edward Elric sat in the Central Headquarters' cafeteria. Dull golden eyes stared past his lunch, not acknowledging it. He was actually thinking about the past…the present…and what would become of Alphonse and him in the future.
The blonde did this a lot, shutting everything else out. His mind reeled over thought and memories. One person…or should I say Homunculus, bothered him. Ed gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists under the table.
"…Nii-san?" asked his younger brother Alphonse Elric.
Quickly snapping to attention, Ed pasted a bright smile on his face.
"Hai, Al? What is it?" the alchemist asked.
Someone who is scarred
And needs to be saved from himself.
He asks God why life
Is so fucking hard.
"I asked: 'What did Roy-sama tell us to do about the break in here two days ago?'" Al repeated himself. The short blond boy sulked and stretched his arms over his head yawning.
"Eh, we know it was on of the Homunculi…Soo…He'd want us to look into it. Books from the library were stolen…Books on the Philosopher's Stone and how to create it." Edward rambled, looking somewhat bored.
"But nothing else was harmed, looks like they just wanted the books."
"Mmm hmm," Al agreed, nodding his metal head.
"Who was seen at the break in? Envy right? He transformed into a soldier and 'snuck' in." the boy continued.
His brother's lip curled at the mention of the Sin's name. He was the one that always crept into Ed's mind. The flash of long green hair, pale skin, and purple eyes haunted his nights, and his days…most unfortunately.
During times of despair
There is a glimmer of
Light – from a razor blade
And the warm red drips to the floor.
He cuts because he wants to feel,
After becoming so numb.
He usually wakes in a cold sweat, having soiled his sheets. He becomes so angry with himself and that bastard Envy he screams in frustration into his pillow.
Envy.
Envy.
Envy.
Even when not in his insufferable presence, he was there still, teasing him about his height; calling him 'chibi' and 'Edo-kun'; it always got his blood boiling in rage. But when Envy and himself were fighting, wrestling around on the ground, despite his anger, he found himself becoming somewhat aroused.
Ed knew he liked the shape shifter, for reasons just behind his reach. When he felt that certain emotion, he shoved it down by fighting even harder. And in those dreams he had had every night just about since he met the Sin, he found himself being the Uke to Envy when making love. The fifteen year old seethed at the very thought of submitting to that…that sexy bastard.
Envy sat cross-legged of an air conditioning system's shadow on a building close to the Military's HQ. Besides him, two other Homunculi shared the coolness of the shadows. These two were named Lust: a big breasted woman who used her lengthened fingers as weapons, and Gluttony: a BIG man who was never away from Lust's side…who would and could eat ANYTHING.
All the books Envy had stolen were stacked around him. He 'hmphed' and sighed in boredom. This Sin was also plagued by dreams of the golden haired alchemist –much to his displeasure. But instead of Ed being Uke, Envy found that Ed was Seme. He was submitting to EDWARD! The thought blew his mind, but made his blood race, despite him trying to stop it.
