Summary: Ren gets decapitated. :D


C!Envy: *still a cat, purring contentedly on Ed's lap in his wheelchair, rolling over luxuriously to stretch and wash a paw*

T!Ed: *stretches his leg a bit from his seat in the wheelchair, absently scritching the top of Ren's head while he digs around in the nightstand drawer for whatever's left of their red stones and one of his more plain knives*

C!Envy: *licks his fingers delicately, nuzzling his hand before settling back down, eyes closed and purring*

T!Ed: *shoves the leftover red stones in a small bag, frowning at the few of them before smiling faintly at Ren, carefully putting the knife and bag on his lap* Ren, dearest..? Do you think you could not be a cat for a few minutes? ...Please? *looks down at him, giving him the puppy eyes*

C!Envy: *opens an eye to look up at him, rolling over playfully and batting at his chin, head cocked and ears twitching in kitty amusement*

T!Ed: *tilts his chin up and away* If you do, I'll give you some wine with your catnip tonight? *grins lamely*

C!Envy: *displeased at this, stands up on his leg, paws kneading the fabric of his pants, looking at him plaintively and trying to rub against his shoulder*

T!Ed: *gives in a moment, tilting his head down to rub his chin on the top of Ren's head* You are so frustrating sometimes, you know? Ren, I can't stay married to a cat the rest of my life, you know that, right? *gives him a look, eyebrows raised*

C!Envy: *hops up on his shoulder, twining affectionately around his neck, nuzzling his ear before hopping back down into his lap, tail twitching, trying to figure out what he wants*

T!Ed: *leans back in his wheelchair once he moves off his shoulders, contemplating the idea of just blowing his husband up in his entirety to see if that would work at all* Look, being married to a zombie is one thing, but a cat is a completely different one, Ren. You need to change back. Please? *looks at him pleadingly, worrying at his bottom lip* Is there anything I can do to help? You want some stones or anything like that now?

C!Envy: *already ahead of him, having smelled the stones once he hopped down, and now trying to get near the bag to investigate, poised and alert with whiskers twitching*

T!Ed: *raises his eyebrows and opens the bag, pushing a couple of the smaller stones towards him*

C!Envy: *moves forward hesitantly, sniffing at the stones with neck craned toward them before quickly moving closer, licking one of them hungrily, changing back into his person-form and not even noticing for half a second, curled across Ed's leg*

T!Ed: *blinks, staring at him, not really sure if he believes his eyes* Er... Ren? ...Isn't that position a little cramped?

C!Envy: *blinks, shifting up to sit delicately across what's left of Ed's lap, looking at him in vague recognition a second before snapping at the stones, eyes gone palest purple and pupils slitted and still catlike, teeth jagged and fingers clawing for the bag weakly*

T!Ed: *gently moves the bag and reaches to take one of Ren's hands, upending the rest of the pouch's contents into it, stroking his hair with his other hand and murmuring against his cheek softly*

C!Envy: *breath sobs dryly as he snaps at the stones in his hand, flecks of red liquid around his mouth, licking his hand savagely and looking around for more, barely noticing Ed's presence*

T!Ed: *puts arms around him* I don't think we have any more, beautiful...

C!Envy: *jumps, surprised at the touch, but relaxing a little when he sees Ed, eyes widening frantically*

T!Ed: *draws his arms back* Shh... Shhhh... We're going to get those bones out of your head, alright? We're going to do that now, and then you'll be fine and safe again, shh... *picks up the knife carefully*

C!Envy: *tilts his head, uncomprehending, eyes coming to rest on the knife and immediately resulting in Ren nearly falling out of the wheelchair in his hurry to get away, collapsing to the floor and backing hurriedly into the corner created by the wall and the dresser, curling into himself, breathing shallow and terrified*

T!Ed: *sets the knife down slowly on the nightstand and puts his hands in the hair to show that they're emtpy, looking at him with wide-eyes, on the verge of tears* I'm not going to hurt you, I promise...

C!Envy: *crouched in the corner, not moving away, but not coming forward, either, back pressed against the wall*

T!Ed: *slides out of the wheelchair carefully in order to sit on the floor, moving awkwardly towards him without his other leg and leaning against the wall near him*

C!Envy: *looks over at him warily, not knowing what to think and barely remembering who Edward even is, but prioritizing that under possible outcomes involving the shiny, sharp-looking thing*

T!Ed: Ren, sweetheart... *sniffles softly, moving a hand carefully towards one of his*

C!Envy: *looks down at their hands, reaching out before he can think better of it, on instinct, to touch Ed's hand, lacing their fingers tentatively*

T!Ed: *squeezes his hand gently, scooting himself closer to lean against him lightly, tentatively*

C!Envy: *still operating on instinct and ingrained habit, leaning back to nuzzle his ear, letting his eyes slip shut*

T!Ed: *shivers, pressing his cheek to his* Ren, please... I have to do this. I have to get the bones out somehow.

C!Envy: *probably a good thing he doesn't understand what Ed's saying, partially leaning on him, but most of his weight resting against the wall with eyes still closed*

T!Ed: *speaking in a soothing voice, eyes watery* What if I cut your head off to get them out? You'd grow it back and I could get rid of the bones in the other one...

C!Envy: *smiles a little, enjoying the sound of his voice as his mind begins to buzz again, stones flooding his system and trying to resume the futile reparations of his brain, sliding down the wall a bit, eyelids fluttering*

T!Ed: It'll be quick, beautiful, I promise you. Will you let me do it? Please, let me... *nuzzles against his temple lightly, speaking against his skin*

C!Envy: *smiles hazily, eyes closed tightly now as the headache intensifies, leaning more heavily against Ed and halfheartedly nuzzling at his chin, particularly catlike*

T!Ed: I'll take that as a yes? *bites his lip, pausing a moment before kissing him lightly and letting go, scooting back over to the nightstand to group for the knife, trying to keep himself in the way of it so Ren can't see*

C!Envy: *couldn't see if he wanted to, eyes screwed shut and twitching as the pain washes over him, falling back heavily into the wall as Ed gets up, fingers clawing weakly at the carpet*

T!Ed: *scoots back over, tugging Ren close and trying to manuever him into his lap, murmuring softly and speaking against his hair* I'll make it quick.

C!Envy: *moves easily into Ed's arms, collapsed bonelessly into his lap and slipping back into the comatose state more and more quickly*

T!Ed: *kisses the top of his head, pressing the blade of the knife to Ren's throat and pausing for a brief moment before slitting it with a quick jerk of his wrist*

C!Envy: *eyes flutter as he chokes, gagging on the blood, fingers clawing and clutching at nothing, gasping and heaving before going still with a wet sigh*

T!Ed: *body shaking with a fine tremor as he watches, waiting for Ren to go still before hacking and sawing at his neck, severing his head completely and just kind of... tossing it to the other side of the room to deal with later, holding onto Ren's headless body and sobbing softly, rocking it in his arms*

C!Envy: *maybe a little slower than usual, but nonetheless his body starts to regenerate, the blood soaking them both slowly ceasing to flow from his neck as the bones and skin and muscle and capillaries begin to re-form*

T!Ed: *can't help but watch in morbid fascination, sobs dying down as he feels relief that at least he's growing the head back, still clutching Ren tightly to him*

C!Envy: *first the bones regenerate, vertebrae slowly building upwards until the skull forms, muscles and flesh growing up the bones and forming around a trachea and esophagus, skin crawling over the lot and eyes budding in their sockets... not exactly attractive, sadly*

T!Ed: *has seen worse; is a psychotic serial murder after all... does keep his distance from the head portion of Ren's body, though, not wanting to interfere with the regeneration*

C!Envy: *dermis and epidermis form over everything, hair growing long and disarrayed, and eyelids forming over the eyes, whole again and lying across Ed's lap, unmoving and unbreathing, but considerably less gooey*

T!Ed: *kind of happy about the not gooey part; shakes Ren very lightly, biting his lip* Ren..? *glances at his husband's face to the one across the room*

C!Envy: *whole body goes rigid as he takes a deep, gasping breath of air, eyes flying open as he chokes, things in his throat still getting themselves worked out* DAMN´U WIR! FUCK! AN MALATHE BASTAIRT Y- ...Edward? *blinks, looking around* Where did you come from? What the hell happened? *looks down at his blood-covered self* UGH! What the-

T!Ed: *jumps with a surprised yelp, staring at him with wide eyes before hugging him tightly, sobbing happily* Oh god, I thought you'd never come back!

C!Envy: *hugs him back with a weird look down at him over his shoulder* Back? How long was I gone? ...Why don't I remember coming back? And, er... why are we covered in blood? *looks up, catching sight of something on the other side of the room* ...Is that my head?

T!Ed: *lets out a strained laugh, burying his face against his neck as he continues to cry, smiling like an idiot* F-for a long time... You h-had bones in your h-head, but I got rid of them... *glances at the other side of the room, going pale* ...Sort of.

C!Envy: Long time? *pulls back to look at him, checking for signs of aging* How long is a long time? *wrinkles his nose, glancing at the head* Oh, that is positively disgusting! ...It also explains why my head feels so damned heavy. Would you mind doing something about that, please, love? *smiles a little tiredly, kissing his cheek*

T!Ed: Long time as in a couple of weeks. *smiles wanly* Could you help me back into my wheelchair?

C!Envy: *momentary relief* Oh, thank goodness. Is it still June, then? *looks down in mild surprise* ....When did that happen? *indicates the now even less present right leg before getting heavily to his feet and reaching to help Ed up*

T!Ed: *clings to him as Ren helps him up, biting his lip* It's July... Do you even remember where I was? Or where you were?

C!Envy: *groans* Oh, great. You will need to explain things once we have gotten rid of that disgusting thing over there. *helps him into the chair, holding it steady for him* Of course I remember. You got taken by that bastard and I went to rescue you. I was out for awhile, I don't know how long, before they dug some bones out and I woke up. They tortured me for a bit, which was generally- *memory jogs and he catches his lip with his teeth a second* -generally inconsequential, but then I do not remember... anything. And now I am here.

T!Ed: *shrinks a little in his wheelchair* ...Wish I could have come for you, so selfish not to... *bites his lip hard, shaking his head* Stay here, I'll get rid of this. *reaches for the head, putting it in his lap and wheeling off for the bathroom*

C!Envy: *sinks down onto the bed, shaking his head firmly* No, no, sweetheart. You were wounded and starved and terrified. I expected no such thing and you know it. *lets him go about disposing with the head, curling up against the pillows gratefully, ignoring the blood*

T!Ed: *sets the head in the bathroom sink and turns the facet on, clapping his hands and pressing it to the appendage, dissolving it slowly into small particles and watching as they filter down the drain; finishes after a good few minutes, going slowly and leaving the water on to run the last few bits down as he changes his shirt, then heads back for the bedroom*

C!Envy: *sits up a little as he comes back, shifting to the edge of the bed* Come sit with me, pretty.

T!Ed: *pulls himself up onto the bed and curls close to Ren, eyes closing with a miserable whimper*

C!Envy: *looks down at him, surprised, slipping arms around him and rocking him gently* Hey, hey, love... what's the matter? Everything is fine now...

T!Ed: *shakes his head, pillowing it on Ren's chest* I'm worried he'll come back and take you from me again... Do those things all over... *shudders deeply, clutching at his own arms where the blades used to be*

C!Envy: Shhhhh... Edward, look at me- *reaches to lift his chin gently* We are going to be alright. He- ...He got what he wanted. He has no further use for us.

T!Ed: *twitch-shudders, pressing close and watching his face* I-I still dream about it... Can't sleep because of the nightmares... And I wanted to do more, but couldn't, am useless...

C!Envy: No! Sweetheart, no, never. *strokes his hair slowly, kissing his cheek several times* I have told you a hundred times, you are not useless. You were sick and hurt, and now we are back together. We are going to be alright. I will keep you safe while you sleep. *brushes some hair back from Ed's face, really noticing how exhausted he looks*

T!Ed: I was useless, though. I gave myself up for nothing, didn't I? Said they were going to take you after they left me there, all alone. *wraps arms around Ren tightly, almost protectively, eyes wide*

C!Envy: *relaxes into the hold, grateful for it without even really realizing* Love, you are never going back there. Do you hear me? Do you trust me? *looks steadily back into his eyes*

T!Ed: *jerks his head in a nod before letting his eyes slide shut, resting his head back against Ren's chest* I love you.

C!Envy: *holds him, just as protectively, rubbing his back soothingly* I love you, Edward. Nothing will ever, ever change that.

T!Ed: *nods slowly against his chest, groping for the blanket to pull over them both* Got rid of those bones for you... I transmuted them and washed them down the drain. *bites his lip, glancing up at him*

C!Envy: *smiles tiredly, nodding* I can feel they're gone. Thank you. It feels... almost empty. It is strange. They must have been in me for a long time for me to feel this hollow and floaty with them gone.

T!Ed: They must have been there since they brought you back... They just dumped you on my bed a few weeks ago in the middle of the night. *shuts his eyes tightly, lips pursing in a grimace* You had a bone in your face and a couple in your stomach. There were - were x-rays... None for the ones in your head, but for the rest...

C!Envy: *grimaces, shifting to get more comfortable within his arms* The ones in my head were left over from the bullets they shot me with, I think. I was in and out a lot while I was there, and then I don't remember anything after they tortured me. *says the word "torture" similarly as one would regard an annoying errand, dismissively* I am so sorry to have frightened you so, love. So, so sorry... *sighs*

T!Ed: *has the opposite reaction to the word, cringing at it and shaking faintly* I just... I'm glad you're back.

C!Envy: *laughs hollowly* You and I both. *leans down, hesitating a second before kissing him gently* I missed our anniversary, didn't I?

T!Ed: *kisses back, pressing into it a little with a wane smile* We both did. I didn't even think about it...

C!Envy: *smiles more against his lips, brushing their noses together* We will make up for it. ...What is the date, anyway?

T!Ed: It's the ninth of July. *kisses him again, lingeringly this time*

C!Envy: *kisses back without thinking before pulling back just slightly* July ninth? I have been gone for more than five weeks?! *kisses him again, more desperately now, holding tightly to his arms*

T!Ed: *shivers, moaning softly into the kiss* It was a long time... And even when you were back, it wasn't you. I had to coax you out of being a cat just so I could cut off your head, and you don't even remember being there with me for my surgery, do you? *smiles wanly*

C!Envy: *hands roaming over his sides and lower back, pressing closer and nuzzling down his jawline* I remember... bits. There are little shreds coming into focus slowly, I can feel... I do not know how much of it actually happened or what was just thoughts. There were bright lights everywhere. Too many people. That must have been the hospital.

T!Ed: You had a CAT scan done while we were there... To find the bones in your head. *tips his head back with a soft sigh, shivering again more deeply and pressing closer, fingers pressing against his side* I-I had them take the rest of my leg... I couldn't keep that metal th-thing.

C!Envy: *nods again, lips moving over his neck gently, hungry and desperate for their closeness* How long ago? Is it healed? *lets one hand move down, over his right hip gently, feeling where it ends abruptly*

T!Ed: *moans, eyes fluttering shut and neck pressing towards his lips, hands moving along his chest idly* We left there only a couple of days ago...

C!Envy: *laps lightly at the hollow at the base of his throat, fingers resting on his hip and moving unconsciously toward Ed's own fingers* Thank you for getting rid of those bones. *sighs against his neck* I am so sorry for all of this nonsense.

T!Ed: *coils fingers in Ren's hair, scritching lightly at the back of his head, wriggling against him a little* I would do anything for you, Ren, I promise you that.

C!Envy: *smiles at his movements, tilting his head back into the touch* Mmm, you have proven that, love. Many times over. I am lucky to have you. *traces one finger around the curve of his earlobe*

T!Ed: *shivers deeply with a hazy smile, working his fingers down the back of his head to the nape of his neck* I would do it all over again if it kept you safe...

C!Envy: *smiles back, kissing him again as his neck goes boneless* I missed seeing you smile... It has been too long.

T!Ed: I missed everything about you. *nips at his lips lightly, moving fingers along his neck*

C!Envy: *laughs softly at the nip, reciprocating and coiling fingers in the fabric of his shirt, neck tilting* Well, you have me now, love. And I fully intend to make up for all that lost time and especially our anniversary. You look like you could use some cheering up.

T!Ed: *smiles softly, curling closer with a shiver* What should we do, then?

C!Envy: Hmmmm... *smiles more, brushing fingers through his hair* You know better than I what you are ready for... We could go back to that restaurant where I proposed, or another equally as extravagant. ...Do you have any ideas? I believe a vacation at least for a couple of days just to get out of this damned dimension goes without saying.

T!Ed: Any where, I don't care, just as long as it's far away and we can have sex. All the time. Constantly. *grins*

C!Envy: *blinks, momentarily taken aback by the vast change of demeanor before grinning back* Castle? We have not been back there in months. The roses must be blooming by now. Maybe we can see them from the bedroom window. *smirks, nibbling his ear* And a fancy dinner? I need to take you out to a fancy dinner.

T!Ed: *shivers at the nibbling, biting his lip* The castle sounds perfect... Should we eat there or - or somewhere else?

C!Envy: *sucks contemplatively on his earlobe, worrying it between his teeth gently* ...There is a restaurant in town with a pond in the center of it that has a water-curtain falling into it from the second story. I think we should go there.

T!Ed: *whines softly, eyelids fluttering and having a hard time piecing coherent thought together* When..?

C!Envy: *kisses the earlobe a couple of times softly* Whenever you like. If you feel you need a few days to collect yourself, I can wait.

T!Ed: *tucks his head under Ren's chin* After the castle, can we go?

C!Envy: Mmmhm. *curls protectively around him, stroking his hair* Sure. When would you like to go to the castle?

T!Ed: *wraps arms around him tightly, giving him a little squeeze* Would tonight be alright?

C!Envy: *smiles at the squeeze, returning it and kissing the top of his head* Of course. I'll need a couple of hours to put things in order, I suppose. Goodness, five weeks... Ah, well, they have managed before. And we are out of stones, aren't we?

T!Ed: We'll need someone to watch the pets, too... *nods* You ate the last. I had a few at the hospital, but I saved all the rest for you.

C!Envy: Alright, I will make a call or two in awhile and get all of that sorted out. Are you feeling okay, though? How healed is your leg?

T!Ed: Healed enough. I've been able to block out most of the tingling from not having stones, too. *shrugs*

C!Envy: Oh, love. I'm sorry. You should have taken more, I would be fine. Your withdrawals are always worse. *strokes his hair some more* How have you been getting around?

T!Ed: *shakes his head a little, pressing into his hand* I've been using the wheelchair. There was *falters* the leg, too, before I had it taken out... Could hardly move with it, it in my bone, but I could use the crutch...

C!Envy: Oh, goodness. And I was a completely useless cat, wasn't I? All of my most recent memories are completely... inhuman. *sighs, rolling his eyes* And those damned stairs. You poor thing. We need to do something about that.

T!Ed: You couldn't help it. *kind of slumps against him, feeling suddenly tired* I'll be fine, Ren. I can just scoot up and down the stairs like I used to sometimes.

C!Envy: Nonsense! *hugs him tighter* I thought of something before we both got into this mess and never had time to say anything. If you can use your crutch up and down the stairs, I can buy you another wheelchair to keep upstairs. That way you need not drag the one up and down.

T!Ed: *blinks, laughing a little* Ren, you don't have to worry about buying me another wheelchair...

C!Envy: Shush. You know it makes sense. *reaches for his hand to play with his fingers*

T!Ed: It does. *wriggles his fingers for him* Thank you.

C!Envy: *wiggles his own back with a grin* You are quite welcome, my love. Is there anything else you need? Please, tell me if there is. Anything at all.

T!Ed: *smiles softly, lacing their fingers together and giving his hand a small squeeze* Can I take a nap before we go?

C!Envy: Of course. Would you like company? *trails fingers through his hair and down his back slowly*

T!Ed: *clings to his hand unconsciously, frowning a little* Please?

C!Envy: I would love to stay with you. Actually, I think that if I never lose sight of you and most preferably never stop touching you, it may be too soon. *wry grin*

T!Ed: *visibly relaxes, eyelids drooping* Don't ever leave me...

C!Envy: I would be quite out of my mind if I did, love. And even then, apparently, maybe more than that. *kisses him deeply*

T!Ed: *kisses back with a small whimper, playing with a few strands of Ren's hair* We'll have to break in a couple rooms of the castle tonight, too, I think.

C!Envy: *grins against his lips* Can we, please? *fingers playing down his arms*

T!Ed: We always just could now too, you know... *grins back, rubbing their noses together with eyes closed*

C!Envy: We are both exhausted, love. *laughs, kissing the tip of his nose* You should get some sleep. I will be keeping you up tonight.

T!Ed: Mmm, good... *smiles, yawning a little*

C!Envy: *keeps arms firmly around him, adjusting the blanket and lying back on the pillow, their lips barely touching* Go on. I'll keep you safe now.

T!Ed: I love you. *kisses him gently before starting to doze with a soft, happy sigh*

C!Envy: I love you too, Edward. *smiles and lets his eyes fall half-lidded, fingers playing in his hair*

Yaaaaaaaay FINALLY!

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

EEEE I know! <33333

[fm-edelric.livejournal.com]

LE GASP OF JOY. Ren is restored to all his glory!! XD

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I know! It took freaking long enough! ...You haven't been around when he was normal, have you? ...Or have you? Wow, my brain is fried.

[fm-edelric.livejournal.com]

no, i wasn't!!! Ed and Ren must interact sometime!! don't run off to your alternate dimension castle yet!! XD

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

I thought not! Yeah we need to fix that. And don't worry, they'll just be gone a couple of days. How would they meet, though? It won't be hard to facilitate, but... just curious.

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

;_; REN I MISSED YOU.

This log makes me ridiculously happy.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

DUDE my baby feels so popular! MUCH LOVES OMG! He and Envy should hang. They seem to be developing some sort of bizarre bond. What the hell is that, anyway, lol?

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

That's because he's just lovable in every way. And YES! THEY SHOULD! Since he's the only one Envy can stand, and Envy's been saving up the stones, but he's getting low. Maybe failing to find Hohenheim'll have humbled him a little, too.

...naw.

♥

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

NAAAAW. Where'd be the fun in that? Besides, I always think that Ren needs more homunculus companions. He's too human, especially lately, and that really bothers me. Awhile back, he and Vengeance went dimension-hopping jaunt and it was so much FUN! I need more of that. I think it's like any relationship. Your spouse may be perfect for you (especially in this case, ahem), but you need friends! Or... companions in this case. I don't think homunculi are friends really... They have transcended that. :D *pretentious omg*

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he does. DAMMIT. I swear I'm going to annoy Ducky incessantly until she finishes her damn OOC!Greed application. We need more of us. :nods:

ALSO. I want to borrow Hei sometime? :puppy eyes: Mal needs to teach him to play bass.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes you need to do this. THERE MUST BE MORE OF US.

Oh, totally! After today I'll have a bunch more free time as far as logs are concerned.

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

INDEED. And that way I won't feel so weird ranting about the RP to her, since she'll know what the fuck I'm on about.

:FANFARE:

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the only problem I know about this, which I know firsthand, is if you pressure someone to join and get them all hyped, but they're just doing it for you, it never lasts. Which is sad. Just be careful with that, as if I even have to tell you.
