Envy had been awake most of the train ride, and though he was capable of going without sleep the manner in which he had been forced to ignore it had lost its pleasure around sunset, so he had been grumpy for several hours all ready before they pulled into the station at Risembol.

He didn't bother to shift his form or hide his descent off the train after Edward had disembarked from the station. He ignored the shocked murmurs as he stalked the chibi, his irritation mounting in the calm sunshine and the cheery fields. His good mood was officially slaughtered and left in bloody chunks.

Ed was so preoccupied with worry that he diddnt even notice him being followed or why people were staring and pointing in his general direction.
his thoughts so clouded by worry...there was only one face he was looking for..and it was no where to be seen.

Ed decided he should eat some breakfast before heading the rest of the way and stopped by a small outdoor cafe...and orders some orange juice and eggs.

Envy stalked Ed all the way to the little mud hole of a cafe and watched as the boy placed his order. He snorted and shook his head, brazenly striding over and leaning in, slamming his right hand down on the table so it shook slightly.

A smirk curled his lips though it never reached his violet eyes, which were holding a malicious, angry glare, directed solely at Edward.

"So shrimp...we came all this way, JUST for you to have eggs? Not worth the ride I can say that much. Hope you have something more entertaining planned. There's nothing out here to stop me from obliterating this entire town you know?"

For the first time Eds mind snapped away from Al.
"ENVY!!!" fullmetal said in surprise. "I dont remember inviting you!....and dont you DARE lay a hand on this town...or you will regret the day you were transmuted!!!!" he growled.

"Now go back to central...I have my own business to tend to here...and I am sick of seeing your face every time I turn around!" Ed slammed his fist onto the table top.

Envy sneered at the very idea of Ed making him regret anything, well he DID sort of regret ever laying eyes on the runt, but that wasn't something he could do anything about really.

"Yeah about that, see it's kinda my whole PURPOSE to be tagging along with you everywhere you go. And really as accommodating as I have been to you I haven't gotten a whole lot back yet." He smirked wickedly, leaning in a bit more toward the boy.

"I think you've forgotten exactly what I'm capable of. I've let you play lead for just a little too long." The moment the words were whispered past his lips his right arm snapped forward, his hand curled into a harsh fist that flew out against Ed's face with a solid crack. The force was more than enough to send the boy flying from his table, and Envy, stood there, looking smug but only faintly satisfied.

"Let's dance shrimp. It's been FAR too long." The sin looked positively delirious with rage and excitement, stalking after Ed with his green tinted hair whipping around him and a manic grin stretching over his face. He distinctly heard people shout and scramble away but they didn't matter right now. He had only one target.

Envys punch ignited the anger inside the young alchemist, it took him a moment to shake the stars away that swirled around his head..then he looked up with a look that could kill and said in a low steady voice.

"Lets end this!" Ed growled. the cafe was now deserted as everyone who had good sense had fled. Fullmetal clapped his hands together and decomposed the floor beneath envy so he would drop down....then at the same time a large metal spike formed on the ceiling above the sin and dropped ready to split envy in half.

Envy blinked and scowled as the ground fell out from under his feet. He slid down to the center of the crater that had formed and happened to glance up just in time to see the spike plummeting down to skewer him.

He threw his body up, using that natural inhuman strength he possessed to hurl his body out of harms way, though he didn't make it out without slicing a long, jagged gash down his right leg. He cursed and spat in pain as he landed, the wound healing almost immediately but it had still hurt.

"Little bastard, you'll pay for that one." Envy lunged at Edward, rushing the boy while shifting his arms into a pair of wickedly curved blades. He spun as he got within range, twisting and turning to lash out with one foot and then his arm blades, the metal singing as it swung through the air.

For a second Ed was sure that he had finnaly nailed the sin, but was shocked and disapointed as he watched him fly up out of the crater..Ed instinctivly went on the definsive...and barely blocked the blows with his automail, but Envy was going at a frenzy speed and Ed was quickly out of breath and was loosing ground.

"You know what envy...I liked you better as a kitten" Ed sneered...he figured if he was going to be impailed he might as well get in one last jab.

Envy was feeling the old thrill of battle, the blood lust that he lived for, that felt oh so right to his dark mind. But then Ed had to go and just RUIN it all by mentioning him being a kitten. Which snapped up other memories in the sin's mind.

Edward joking back and forth with him, teasing..that amusing voice complaining and complimenting...honest laughter and enjoyment in shared company..Ed's touch on his skin, the press of one hot mouth against another, cold metal stroking over sensitive flesh, firm thickness invading..claiming....

Envy suddenly jerked forward, stabbing the wall next to Edward's head deeply, his violet eyes were wide as a shocked realization settled on him. As much as he wanted to vent his anger, something had changed, Ed had somehow..managed to make him feel some kind of bond with him.

Granted he had been observing the runt for some time, but having spent so much time together, and being intimate even if it was rough there were moments that had secretly attached tiny threads to a heart that shouldn't have allowed any connection whatsoever. Envy slowly let his stunned gaze lock onto Edward's face, his eyes holding a slight fear of the sudden knowledge that..he cared....about..the shrimp...he really..cared.

Edward knowing that death was coming had used his verbal jab at Envy as a way of letting the sin know that, there their relationship was not the same as it had been at the beginning, but he had not expected it to effect Envy, he was sure by now that the sin...so blinded by rage had all but forgotten their moment.
But that look in his violet eyes..Ed could almost see Envys mind snap to the memories...Ed had not expected that....now the sins eyes were locked on his..and they were face to face again...the stirring inside Ed swelled....that too familiar feeling began to build.....Ed taking a chance...knowing this could be his last breath...closed his eyes slowly and opend his mouth...and moved toward Envys sweet lips...wishing to drink from those fountains of sweet desire.
