   ''Edward, You're going to be late for school.'' Pinako said the next morning when seeing only Alphonse and Winry at the table going up the stairs to his room, ''Didn't you hear me? You're going to be late for school-...'' She said opening the door to see the blonde laying in bed with his back turned to her hugging his blanket. ''I'm not going...'' Edward said in a monotone mumble hinting Pinako he was really hurt, ''...Alright... That's fine...'' She said without hesitation closing the door behind her with the blonde giving a pained expression in his golden eyes, with his eyes saying he had spent most of the night in tears, ''My brother?...'' Al asked when Pinako came back down. ''Edward doesn't feel like going to school today...'' Pinako said, ''I think it's best he doesn't go today, so I let him stay.'', ''...You'll watch over him right, Grandma?'', "Of course... Just make sure to get his work for his classes, the both of you.'', ''We will...'' They both said quietly. ''You must be proud of yourself.'' Armstrong said in the school parking lot making the raven haired teacher look up with a hard to read expression that said 'Don't make me feel worse than I already do' looking away with a sigh, ''Of course not...''. ''Than why did you do that Edward.'', ''Because he's my student... And I'm his teacher... Nothing more... And that's how it should of always been...'', ''Is that what you really think?... I always thought you were the honest type but... You seem to let silly titles get in the way of something you want.'' Armstrong said making Roy feel worse. Roy just heaved a sigh when the PE teacher walked off putting his hand to his face with a guilty expression, recalling his half drunken babble from the other night with his student feeling his heart ache when Edward's bright smile haunted him slamming his fist into the wall but instantly regretted it, ''Firing me yesterday, would have been great...''. ''Ah....Edward Elric.'' Roy called out during roll call never getting a response looking over to the empty seat realizing he was absent, ''Ah... I see...'' Seeing Envy look at him with 'You did this' expression making Roy turn away, ''Um, Anyways we're going to finish up the last of that movie and that'll conclude Sex Ed week.'' The teacher said waving his bandaged hand from the morning nervously. ''Anyone else feel like ditching and going over with the midget?'' Greed said at nutrition with the group nodding, ''But... We'll get caught...''Al said with Greed looking over to Envy and Ling, ''You shouldn't worry, Edward and the three of us have done it a lot in the past, and I mean a lot.'' He said casually. ''...Okay.... Well Grandma is going to kill us if she sees us there really early.'', ''Who cares besides, Xiao-Mei is kind of grumpy so...'', ''How can you bring your pet panda with you to school!'' Al exclaimed, ''She's been having him with her all these years.'' Lan Fan cut in, ''You know well she won't leave Xiao-Mei.'' Making May Chang nod. ''Enough about me carrying my panda around, Let's just go so we can check on Edward.'' She said with Ling sighing, ''Finally-'' He said but paused when looking up to see Lust was standing there with a smile, ''L-Lust...'' Envy stammered surprised when she knelt down next to them pulling a small paper from in between her breasts holding it out towards the palm haired male. ''Give this to Edward for me when you see him.'' She said standing up again, ''Why me?...'',''You know why already Envy... Don't worry I won't tell anyone about your little plan~'' She said walking away with a wave, ''She means about yesterday.'' Greed said making Envy sigh, ''Lets get out of here before nutrition is over.'' Edward who was in his room in the same position since the morning, ''He's an adult, I should of figured he would be like him...'' He mumbled referring to his dad who left when their mother had passed away lost in thought with his music playing on shuffle hearing Die Antwoord come on making a face checking his phone to see several missed calls and messages from the group throwing his phone to the side. ''Fuck your pinky promise playboy, cause you steal my heart and then you go, just leave me so desperately lonely...'' The song played on making Edward feel worse heaving a sigh and get up with his long hair falling on his shoulders and back, ''I shouldn't expect any less from adults...'' He said reaching over to his small drawer pulling out a cigarette from a box of cigarettes he had hidden. ''Ah, I feel so guilty for leaving school!'', ''We made it here without being noticed.'' Greed said when Winry opened the door to see Pinako at the couch smoking looking at the group with a raised brow, ''G-Grandma...'', ''...Of course... Edward is still in his room, might as well make him eat something while you're all up there.'' She said surprising the group for not getting in trouble for ditching school. The blonde who just scowled when seeing the hickeys on his body seeing the reminder of his teacher feeling hurt looking around for a sweater cigarette in mouth jumping up when his door burst open turning to see his friends in his room, ''You guys are supposed to be in school...'' He said dropping the cigarette from his lips. ''We ditched.'', ''...I can see that, Pinako is going to kill you guys-'', ''She didn't say anything.'' Winry said with the blonde looking over to Envy with a flustered bothered expression making the palm haired male sigh, ''Look, I know I'm the least person you want to see, but I was worried about you too alright.'' He said in his defense. ''Because you like me right?'' He said seeing Envy blush and get embarrassed, ''Look I'm sorry, what I did yesterday was wrong, I pushed my feelings onto you at a wrong time, but this isn't about me!'', ''For once he's right.'' Greed and Ling said casually seeing Edward sit on his bed with a sigh. ''Okay so you caught us, before he decided to do a three sixty... You're here to make fun of me and judge me aren't you.'', ''No! We came here cause we were worried about you!" May Chang said with the small panda poking it's head out, ''I'm fine.'', ''You don't look fine.'' Envy said sitting next to Edward who scooted away not surprising him. ''You know.... Mustang kept looking over to your desk the whole time during class.'' Envy said seeing the blonde finally look towards his direction with the rest sitting on the floor, ''He's right... He also had a bandaged hand for some reason.'' Winry added, ''He seemed conflicted.'' Ling contributed to the topic. ''He seemed conflicted! He seemed conflicted!? He should of thought of that before he fucking rejected me before I had the chance to tell him how I felt for him! Ah...'' Edward said but paused when realized his face had shown the pain he felt from saying that, ''...I... I just wanted to say how I felt... And he rejected me... I thought he was different... He's just like dad... He's comes and goes without a word...''. ''He's a coward... He's just like him...'' He voice trailed off pained with hurt in his tone surprising the group when he broke down with tears streaming out of his usually cold golden eyes, and down his cheeks, ''I hate him!...'' The pained blonde said in tears suddenly putting his arms around Envy and pulled him in a tight hug making Envy blush in surprise, but hugged him to comfort the shaky blonde, ''You don't mean that Edward...''. ''Sheska, Riza, Jean, Armstrong. Have you seen Winry and the others?'' Roy asked during lunch time in the small staff room, ''Not since after Nutrition.'' Sheska said, ''Pretty much.'' Riza said, ''Same as them.'' Jean and Armstrong said concerning the raven haired teacher who paced around nervously. ''Maybe they went to check on a certain student you're giving the cold shoulder to.'' Sheska commented throwing Roy under the bus, ''She's right.'' Lust's voice cut in making the Roy and the others turn to see the busty, curvy school nurse at the door with her arms crossed making her bust show more. The long dark haired female had a serious expression looking at Roy with her piercing amethyst eyes, ''They ditched, because they wanted to check on Edward.'' She said making Roy feel guilty, ''I was only trying to do right...'', ''But you didn't now did you?'' Lust said, ''I guess that's why Edward kissed Envy...'' Sheska said quietly. ''You don't say?...'' Riza said looking over to the raven haired teacher with a 'I told you so' look, ''Nothing we can do now.'' Lust said casually, ''So don't think of yelling at the students on Monday, when they're doing the one thing you're too good to do.'' The amethyst eyed school nurse said walking off leaving Roy feeling like he was attacked. ''What do you want me to do!'' Roy screamed, ''Apologize to him.'' Riza said getting up and leaving with Sheska feeling bad for Roy, ''Don't worry things may seem bad right now, but I can assure you things will get better... Eventually when you man up...'', ''Thank you Sheska...'', ''Sorry...''. ''Someone get Edward off me...'' Envy said since the blonde was fast asleep on his lap, ''Ed felt comfortable to hug you in his breakdown, just let him have his time.'' Ling said seeing Envy make a face getting flustered, ''You don't understand this isn't helping my emotions or heart.'' He said sighing pulling out the paper from his pocket. "Wonder what Lusty gave me to give to the Pipsqueak?'' Envy mumbled before feeling the blonde stir realizing he had fallen asleep on Envy who looked serious but flustered, ''About time... You feel better?'' He asked seeing Edward sit up silently. ''My head hurts...'' Edward said flustered himself, ''Sorry...'', ''Don't apologize.'' Envy said quickly with the small panda jumping off May Chang's shoulder and onto Envy taking the paper in her mouth and jumping onto the blonde's lap climbing on him and his shoulder, ''...Watchu got there Panda...''. ''Lusty told me to give you that before we left.'' The palm haired male said getting up but fell back on the bed when Edward grabbed his arm and had him close to him, ''Okay... None of you really understand how hard this is for my heart right now...'' Envy huffed. Edward opened the paper seeing it was Roy's number and address making a face and crumpling it up throwing it behind him, ''Well... What was it?'' Envy asked with the group looking at him, ''It was his number and address...'', ''Okay... But why crumple it up?'' Greed asked, ''He can go fuck himself...'' The blonde said pulling Envy close to him despite yesterdays incident with him hugging him tightly. ''Well you can't avoid him all your life...'', ''Winry's right Brother.'', ''I don't care.'', ''You don't mean that.'' Envy cut in despite his flustered expression as Edward used him as a temporary comfort, ''Huh?'', ''Do you like him?'', ''I don't want to.'', ''But you do.'', "I do...'' Edward said flustered looking over to Envy who looked at him. ''There you go... Now please hug someone else... You know damn well my feelings for you and here you are doing this shit.'', ''Sorry... It's just... It's really rare to see you this nice, let alone concerned for me...'' He said giving a small smile and laugh that made Envy blush more and pull away, ''STOP!'', ''I'm sorry!'', ''Ah... Honestly... Didn't think Envy was shy...'' Greed said looking at the flustered palm haired male. ''Hmm?... Greed, do you like Envy?'' Ling asked quietly seeing Greed turn to him with a casual expression before smiling at him, ''Of course not.'', ''Liar... You wouldn't pick on him so much if you didn't...'' Ling shot back, ''Maybe a little... He's... Interesting...'' He said quietly. Edward felt a bit of relief when his friends were there for him smiling a bit more despite the pain in his chest still there, ''I don't know what I would do without you guys... But we're all going to get in trouble on Monday.'' He said with a small laugh, ''We all stick together... We're here for you, even if it gets all of us in trouble.'' Winry said, ''That's right... Thank you...''.
