Chapter One - Nightly trip -

Three o'clock in the morning. Ed opened an eye, yawning. The room was trapped in complete darkness, however something had woken him up. Silently tossing his covers away, he felt a cold draft run past his leg. The window was open. He walked through the room searching for the light switch, and stumbled over something rather soft.

The room was not very large, but he was alone. Al was staying in another room, at the far end of the corridor. They were living in a two-stories house, downtown Central City.

Finally reaching the switch, Ed turned on the light and found a blanket rolled up at his feet. Wondering why it was here, he picked it up and found a small letter inside. Only three words were written: 'Park, three o'clock.' Ed instinctively checked the clock, three A.M., and looked outside the window. There was a small park just in front of the house.

'What the…? I guess I should go. It might be important.' He quickly dressed up, walked to the window, jumped over it and ran to the park.

The park was as dark as the room Ed had just left, and it didn't look very safe at this time of the night… The only street lamp wasn't working, there was a small paved way, and the whole place was covered in trees of all kinds and sizes. The moon was extraordinarily shiny that night and the sky was full of stars. There wasn't a single cloud.

"I can't believe it! He actually came!" Ed jumped as he realized the voice was coming from behind him. Shiny violet eyes, framed by long, dark emerald strands appeared through the shadows. "Taking a walk, o'chibi-san?"

Ed froze as he felt a cold shiver run across his whole body. He turned around slowly and found himself face to face with his worse enemy.

"Oh no… not you."

He instantly clapped his hands together and transmuted his automail. Envy came out of the darkness, grinning in his usual demonic way. Ed aimed his weapon at him, but Envy didn't seem to mind and continued walking towards the blond.

"What is it, aren't you happy to see me, o'chibi-san?" Envy took a step closer, sniggering.

"Stop calling me that!" Ed was slightly anxious. He kept his automail aimed at Envy, the blade set over his throat.

"What are you going to do, kill me?" Ed smiled at Envy's words.

"Maybe."

In a sudden rise of anger, Ed turned around and threw a strong kick. Envy was sent flying, landing against a nearby tree. A red mark was starting to show on his cheek, where Ed had hit him. The sin stood up, laughing. He gave a strong punch at Ed's nose, and the blond landed on the grass. A drop of blood ran from his nose. He quickly wiped it and started laughing. Envy crouched down by his side.

"What's the matter, o'chibi-san? Where's your legendary strength?"

"Shut up, bastard!" Ed suddenly sat up, but Envy grabbed him by the collar and put him down on the floor again, laughing. Ed sat up again, aiming his automail at Envy's throat with a dreadful glare. Envy got up from his crouched position. After a few moments of silence, Ed smiled and punched Envy again. The sin stood up slightly angered and punched Ed back. Before the blond could move, Envy started kicking him violently. Ed was curled up on the floor; hand on his stomach, spitting blood. Envy sniggered.

"So, chibi-san, having a hard time?"

"I told you not to call me that way!" Ed turned over, the blade of his automail brushing against Envy's thigh. A thin red line appeared at the same spot. Envy straddled Ed, pining him to the floor.

"You really think you can measure up to me, o'chibi-san?"

"You're no match for me." That wasn't entirely true, considering the fact that Ed couldn't move at all. Envy smirked and leaned down to a rather worried Ed. The blond alchemist returned the smirk and said: "You seem a little too confident, what the hell do you want?"

"Oh God, I thought you'd never ask!" Envy stood up and held out his hand for Ed to get up. The blond rejected the offer and stood up by himself.

"You seemed surprised that I came."

"Well, a little I guess. I made a bet with Lust. Since I won, she owes me ten bucks." Envy laughed. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ed's fist approaching dangerously. Envy jumped backwards, his dark mane dancing in the air, and he landed gracefully on his feet.

"Tst." Envy placed his pale hands on his hips. "Let me explain. Wrath ran away and we can't find him. So if you ever see him around, tell him to go back to the manor. Our Master needs him."

"What the hell! You actually think I'm going to obey you?"

Envy smirked, Ed was sent flying and he landed once more on the ground. Envy straddled him again, pining him to the floor, blocking the blonde's legs with his own and tightly holding his wrists. Ed couldn't move at all, he was trapped. Envy laughed again. Then Ed tried to fight back and Envy's expression suddenly changed. Ed finally freed one of his arms and Envy lost his balance. Ed's expression also changed, his golden eyes widened as he saw Envy's violet ones get dangerously close. Envy was now lying flat on Ed's body. Both of them blushed heavily as their lips met. They stayed like that for a few seconds, motionless, before Envy closed his eyes. Ed then felt a warm tongue pass through his lips. Considering the situation was rather pleasant, Ed resumed in closing his eyes too.

A few moments later, Envy reopened his eyes. When he realized what was going on, he quickly got up, ending the kiss. Ed sat up, a bit shocked by the current situation. Envy gave him a dreadful glare and ran away.

'Ok… what in the world just happened!'
