Edward x Envy (A Full Story)

Chapter 5

Envy's POV:

Finally. I've done it. I've got the fullmetal alchemist cornered. Where do I even start?

There are six of them altogether, this should be fun.
As predicted, the first three were easy. It's likely that they're new to the military. Now I have the tough ones.

"What are you planning, Envy" Edward asks. I look at him in the eyes. His Golden eyes. I chuckle.
"Oh Eddie, you really haven't figured it out yet? Damn. It will have to wait."

Alex comes at me first. I know his weak spots. I've done my research for this exact battle. I will succeed them. I hit Alex's legs with the strength of my true form, and he's down in seconds.
"Shit" He said before he fell to the ground.

Hawkeye next. She's as tough as they come. I shape-shifted to be her sister, Louise. It was enough to distract her. I knocked her out, tied her up and left her on the floor.
I can't kill them yet, they must remain unconscious. I need to get Edward going somehow.

I look up. Edward is getting ready to fight. I look at his body. So killable. So easy. Who knew Greed could have come up with such a plan?

Feeling murderous, I leap at him. He's ready for me, of course. All he does is slice a section of my hair.
Surprisingly, It doesn't re-generate like the rest of my body would.

Ed uses my surprise to his advantage, but I'm ready. I jump on him, my chest on his.
I give all my strength to tie his arms to two nearby tubes.
"Sorry, Pipsqueak, no more alchemy for you."
He looks into my eyes.

"I. AM NOT. A PIPSQUEAK" He screams.

I come even closer to his face. "It's time" I say.

By now, he's struggling with all his might. I kind of feel bad for him, being trapped by a superior creature.
DAMMIT WHAT AM I SAYING.
I do NOT pity him.

He can tell I'm having an internal conflict.
He simply laughs to himself.
"Having trouble, Envy?"

This infuriates me.
I grab Lust's knife from my pocket and hold it against his throat.
I can't do this. I can't kill Edward Elric. Not now, not ever.
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
This has NEVER happened before.
I've killed thousands, why should Ed be different?

"Envy, if you're gonna kill me, do it already" he requests.

Lust ordered me to do this!!! From Father himself! If I fail...

This is my breaking point.

I drop the knife and fall on my
knees.
Tears dripping down my face as I try to restrain this feeling of confliction.

"...Envy?" He continues.

We lock eyes. We stare and stare until I eventually say:
"Wait until they're conscious. Then go back the way you came."

I untie everyone except Ed.

"Do you promise not to hurt me? Just leave"
"Env- Why are you doing this-"
"DO YOU PROMISE"
"FINE YES JUST TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THIS IS ABOUT"

He is getting on my nerves.
"DAMMIT FULLMETAL. Fine. I was ordered to kill you"

Ed gasped.
"I don't believe you. I'm needed for your plan."

"Well not anymore. You are expendable."

He gasped once again.
"Why aren't you killing me then."

I debated whether I should answer him. I decided against it. I don't even know why.

I turn to him, detach his arms, and escape the room before I could get hurt.

What have I done.
