Summary: Hohenheim pays a little night time visit to his son with a request.
C!Envy: *lying next to Ed in the usual routine of watching him sleep between dozing and glances over at the clock, deciding a 4am cup of tea sounds good and leaning over to kiss Ed's shoulder gently before very carefully slipping out of bed , not wanting to wake him*
T!Ed: *shivers at the kiss and makes a soft sound in his sleep, curling up in all of the blankets once Ren abandons them quite happily*
C!Envy: *smiles a little at him, making plans to reclaim some blankets upon his return, heading off to the kitchen and making tea*
OOC!Hohenheim: *slips into the room quietly as soon as Ren leaves and takes a seat on the edge of the bed, watching Ed*
C!Envy: *comes back a few minutes later with a cup of mint tea, stopping dead in the doorway and nearly dropping his second cup that day, barely steadying himself*
OOC!Hohenheim: *gives Ren a look, smiling eerily and pressing a finger to his lips in a gesture of quiet, petting Ed's hair gently*
T!Ed: *smiles, snuggling closer to the other body, still asleep and thinking it's Ren*
C!Envy: *moves forward instantly, setting the cup down, enraged, the anger nullifying most of the terror, hissing* Get away from him right now!
OOC!Hohenheim: Any struggle will wake him up, I am sure you know that. You would not want that, would you?
C!Envy: *hesitates a second, not wanting to wake Ed, knowing the ensuing panic would probably be much worse than anything* ........Get out. *stands stiffly as close to the bed as he can will himself*
OOC!Hohenheim: *keeps petting Ed's hair, smiling at him* We need to talk.
T!Ed: *purrs softly, grinning happily in his sleep*
C!Envy: *twitches forward a few times, not sure if he hates himself or his father more* .........Fine. Just- ...stop touching him.
OOC!Hohenheim: *lets his hand drop to his side and stands up slowly so as not to wake Ed* Shall we speak in a less occupied room?
T!Ed: *pouts and reclaims his nest in the center of the bed, curled up into a little ball, snoring softly*
C!Envy: *almost nods before stopping himself* If we do, what is to stop those little- things of yours from taking him while I am distracted?
OOC!Hohenheim: My son, don't you trust your father? What would I want with the piece of filth you married?
C!Envy: *snarls, stopping himself from surging forward again* Do not say that about him! ...*takes a breath* Trust you? You killed me and have spent the last seven centuries following me around and harassing me. *trying very hard to sound casual, voice still shaking*
OOC!Hohenheim: He is. You both are. You should have married that woman rather than that. *gestures to the sleeping Ed* I did not kill you. I worked to improve you. You are alive, are you not? *ungrateful children, bah; makes his way casually out of the room and into the hall*
C!Envy: *narrows his eyes* If I am such an abomination, then just forget about us! *stiffens as he breezes past, going with his knee-jerk reaction of pressing back against the wall, hurryiing over to lock the sliding glass doors to the balcony, looking over at Edward in a mix of worry and longing before hesitantly following, but leaving the door open*
OOC!Hohenheim: Why? You owe me.
C!Envy: *trembling with barely-contained rage and terror, stopping in the kitchen, as far away from his father as he can get* I owe you nothing. Get out of my apartment. Leave us be.
OOC!Hohenheim: *stands at the opposite side of the kitchen, watching him* You owe me everything. You belong to me. You should come home like a good little boy.
C!Envy: *looks away, hating himself for what a child he suddenly feels like, drawing into a corner and sinking down to the floor, arms around his knees tightly* No. Never. Go away.
OOC!Hohenheim: You can come home with me, make ammends for what you have done. You can leave these pieces of filth and abominations behind and become the perfect being I tried to make you. Your brothers would love to see you again. *smirks faintly*
C!Envy: *shakes his head jerkily, making a small sound* Can't leave him. .......I hate you.
OOC!Hohenheim: You will do for me as I wish either way or else you will lose him.
C!Envy: *looks up at him sharply, terrified, shaking and trying not to show it, drawing himself up a little from his position in the corner* I'll be destroyed first.
OOC!Hohenheim: I can arrange that, but would you want to leave your abomination of a husband here alone to a fate worse than he would receive should you leave him?
C!Envy: *whimpers quietly, looking down, beginning to feel a slight buzzing toward the back of his skull* Stop calling him that! What can I give you? What will make you go away?
OOC!Hohenheim: I want the city in its entirety. You hold all the weapons. Give them to me.
C!Envy: *gasps, looking up at him* You will kill everyone. *shakes his head a little, trying to clear it*
OOC!Hohenheim: No, I will not kill them. I will make them perfect. *smiles coldly*
C!Envy: *shakes his head again, feeling irrationally a little safer with his hair hiding most of his face* Liar. Liar liar liar.... *trails off, muttering the word to himself, hitting his head back against the wall a few times, the dull ache taking over his brain making him gasp, whining softly*
OOC!Hohenheim: I promise you. Give me your business, your weapons -- and I will leave Edward alone. *fiddles in his coat pocket with something, smirking widely at his reactions*
C!Envy: Can't- ...Got to protect-- you would kill him... *hitting his head harder against the wall, hands lifting to claw jerkily at the sides of his head, narrowing his eyes and glaring up at him* Coward.
OOC!Hohenheim: I would not kill him. *takes the small knuckle bone out of his pocket, setting it on the counter he's nearest* I thought you would appreciate a gift.
C!Envy: *moans a dry sob, clutching his head when it throbs as the bone gets nearer* You'd-- do worse...
OOC!Hohenheim: As long as you give me your weapons, Edward will remain safe.
C!Envy: *shakes his head again, gasping and sliding down the wall further, eyes closed* No... liar...
OOC!Hohenheim: You will give them to me or I will take you both. I will kill him in front of you -- tear his eyes out and make him like your brothers, Darren. You will do as I say.
C!Envy: *gives a short cry, heaving dry sobs and digging nails into his scalp* Don't- don't call me-- ...*breaks off, panting and shaking before finally nodding his head with a jerk* Alright! ...You can have the weapons.
OOC!Hohenheim: *smiles serently* Thank you my son. I will leave you know so that you can sleep. *picks up the bone*
T!Ed: *stirs in his sleep at hearing the cry from the other room, looking around the bedroom blearily*
C!Envy: *curls up, face pressed against his knees with a despairing moan, barely managing to speak* Get out.
OOC!Hohenheim: Goodnight. *makes his way to the hallway entrance before contemplating something, then chucks the bone at Ren in an almost casual manner, heading downstairs and for the front door*
C!Envy: *screams as pain shoots through his whole body, collapsing to the floor, twitching and writhing with the bone about two feet away, vision going black*
T!Ed: *bolts up in bed at the scream, grabbing his crutch and pulling on a pair of pants, rushing out into the kitchen to find out what's going on* Ren! Fuck, what happened?! *kneels next to him, patting his cheek with one of his hands, eyes wide with terror*
C!Envy: *jerks away from the touch on reflex, panting and making short, pained sounds, clawing at his head*
T!Ed: *reaches to grab his wrists in order to stop him* Ren, hey... Hey, it's okay... What's going on? *looks around the room, trying to find the source of his discomfort before spotting the bone on the floor, going completely pale and snatching it up* I-I'll get rid of it, it'll be okay, sweetheart... *pulls himself up quickly, carrying the bone off into the bedroom as fast as he can on his crutch*
C!Envy: *clawing bloody rivets down his forehead and moaning, breath heaving, lying on the floor and pressed blindly into the corner*
T!Ed: *rushes out onto the balcony, having some trouble with the lock, and sets the bone on the edge of it, clapping his hands to transmute it into fine particles, watching as the wind carries it away*
C!Envy: *spasms a few times weakly, the buzzing in his head beginning to dissapate slowly, everything going mercifully dark*
T!Ed: *grabs the bag of red stones and heads back into the kitchen, practically tossing his crutch aside as he sits on the floor near Ren, pulling him into his lap and trying to get him to eat some of the stones*
C!Envy: *completely limp as he's pulled into Ed's lap, lips parting instinctively for the stones, teeth snapping, his whole body still shivering with a constant tremor*
T!Ed: *keeps feeding him stones, murmuring against his ear and rocking him gently, trying not to cry*
C!Envy: *breathing finally begins to return to normal, taking a shuddering breath and opening his eyes hazily*
T!Ed: *buries his face in his hair, crying softly, and squeezing arms around his shoulders, holding on to him*
C!Envy: *reaches up a hand, touching Ed's face and glancing up when he feels tears* Nnh?
T!Ed: I-I thought I lost y-you... *rubs at his eyes, trying to stop himself*
C!Envy: *shakes his head slowly, still shaking, eyes vacant* Didn't leave...
T!Ed: D-do you need more stones..?
C!Envy: *shakes his head again, leaning bonelessly against him, staring off into space*
T!Ed: *sets the bag of stones down and puts arms back around him, holding him close, speaking tentatively* What happened?
C!Envy: *jolts in a violent shiver, curling into himself in Ed's arms* Here, he was... here.
T!Ed: *bites his lip, colour draining from his face* Wh-what did he want?
C!Envy: Weapons...
T!Ed: ...You? *holds onto him more tightly*
C!Envy: *looks at him questioningly* Weapons.
T!Ed: Oh... *slumps a little in relief* Actual weapons.
C!Envy: *nods slowly* He is going to make them all like my brothers.
T!Ed: ...Make who like your brothers? *not really sure he wants to know*
C!Envy: The city.
T!Ed: *makes a small, frightened noise in the back of his throat*
C!Envy: You are safe, though. I traded them all for you.
T!Ed: ...But all of our friends are in this city...
C!Envy: *closes his eyes, hiding his face and nodding* I know.
T!Ed: *strokes his hair, whimpering softly* M-maybe I... I should give myself up to him...
C!Envy: *clutches him desperately* No! No, you can't! He'll do things- *trails off, shaking harder and burying his face against Ed's collarbone* He wants to make you like them. Just to spite me.
T!Ed: B-but we can't let him - *chokes on a sob, holding him tighter* let him hurt everyone else...
C!Envy: I can't do anything against him. *gives a small, helpless moan* I tried, I tried... So sorry, I'm sorry I'm so sorry...
T!Ed: Shh, shhhh... *kisses the top of his head several times, crying silently* L-let's not worry a-about it tonight...
C!Envy: *looks up at him, looking haunted with dark rings under his eyes* I gave them all up for you.
T!Ed: It's okay... *hugs him tightly, looking back distressed*
C!Envy: *laughs shortly, mirthless* Okay..? How can you say that? He is going to make everyone like my brothers and I don't even know why! I didn't ask why, oh gods...
T!Ed: We can leave. We can take our friends and leave for some place else and never come back. J-just promise me it'll be okay, please... *hugs him tightly*
C!Envy: *hugs back on reflex, eyes still vacant* Won't stop him. Will only make him angry.
T!Ed: Then we can keep running, but please come back to me, Ren, please. *sobs softly onto his shoulder*
C!Envy: *can't understand what he's asking, tilting his head slightly, questioning, eyes glassy* I am right here.
T!Ed: No you're not. *cups his chin and tilts his head up a little, looking into his eyes lost, cheeks tearstained*
C!Envy: *smiles a little, vacantly* Why are you crying? I love you, you do not have to cry.
T!Ed: Ren, please don't do this... I need you here. I need you here with me. *crumples*
C!Envy: I'm right here, pretty... *glances up at him, through the hair falling over his eyes* I'm not gone, Edward! I don't want to leave you!...
T!Ed: Oh, god, Ren... *breaks down crying hard, clinging to him*
C!Envy: *strokes his hair carefully* Edward, why are you crying? What happened? *eyes wide, still glassy and getting worried*
T!Ed: *shakes his head, trying to articulate something and failing, crying all over him*
C!Envy: *hugs him lightly, still stroking his hair and murmuring what he thinks is comforting gibberish*
T!Ed: *cringes at his murmuring, jerking his head away and just staring at him for a long time before ducking his head and kissing him hard on the mouth*
C!Envy: *makes a sharp noise, eyes going wide for a second before sliding closed, moaning softly and clutching him needily, returning the kiss and glad the crying has stopped*
T!Ed: *kisses back desperately, murmuring desperately between, holding him close*
C!Envy: *shifts, straddling his lap and pressing him back against the wall, hands roaming as he deepens the kiss*
T!Ed: *leans back against the wall, arching against him and moaning into the kiss, tears spilling out of the corners of his eyes*
C!Envy: *grinds down against him, sucking on his bottom lip and lifting fingers to his face, brushing through the tears and making a soft sound*
T!Ed: *chokes on a sob, grinding back against him, fingers curling in the fabric of his nightshirt*
C!Envy: *opens his eyes, making a small sound and kissing his cheeks desperately, trying to make the tears stop*
T!Ed: *twists his head to kiss him hard, letting hands slip down to his hips and squeezing hard, and nips at his lips, trying to stop crying*
C!Envy: *moans happily, kissing back viciously and pressing against him*
T!Ed: *cries out against his lips, panting hard, and bucks hips beneath his, grinding upwards*
C!Envy: *pants, head falling back and clinging, fingers digging into his shoulder*
T!Ed: *nips at his throat, playing his tongue over his adam's apple and moving a hand between them, palming Ren's groin*
C!Envy: *makes a soft sound, pressing closer and kissing him again, violently, clutching at him*
T!Ed: *moans sharply into the kiss, rubbing his hand harder against him and arching closer, other hand holding onto his back*
C!Envy: *keeps kissing him, breathing shallowly through his nose, beginning to hyperventilate slightly and clinging desperately*
T!Ed: *moves his hand and slips it underneath Ren's shirt, scritching fingernails along his abdomen lightly, brushing their noises together and kissing him again*
C!Envy: *kisses him, needy and making soft sounds, slowly collapsing against him*
T!Ed: *puts arms around him tightly, murmuring against his cheek softly and rubbing his back, body trembling*
C!Envy: *hyperventilating, melting into him and pressing his face into Ed's neck weakly* Oh gods, Edward...
T!Ed: A-are you back? *squirms beneath him, breathing hard*
C!Envy: *makes a small noise* I... think... Edward, I am so sorry. I am so, so sorry...
T!Ed: Shhh, please don't worry about it, please don't leave me again. Please please please please... *murmurs the word, choking on a sob*
C!Envy: Edward- *hugs him tightly* No, I'm not leaving, I am not going anywhere. Please, don't cry...
T!Ed: But you were gone, you were gone... *buries his face in his hands, crying again*
C!Envy: I'm right here, love, I promise! *getting panicked, not sure what to do*
T!Ed: A-and if he c-comes back... y-you'll g-go away again... *curls up a little*
C!Envy: *looks away, biting his lip and shifting off of him, suddenly very aware of their position, curling up against the wall* I'm sorry.
T!Ed: *tucks his leg up to his chest, arms wrapped tightly around himself, trying hard to keep his crying silent*
C!Envy: I- I don't know what happened, Edward, I'm sorry! Please don't be angry...
T!Ed: *shakes his head* I-I... W-we should p-probably get back t-to bed... *gropes for one of Ren's hands*
C!Envy: *takes his hand gratefully, feeling numb and nodding* Alright. *spots his crutch a ways away where it was thrown* Here, I can help you- *stands, a little shakily, and reaches down to help him up and slip an arm under Ed's to support him*
T!Ed: *holds onto him tightly as they stand, grateful for the support, and takes his crutch, shaking slightly*
C!Envy: Will you be alright? I can help you to the bedroom... *feeling shaky himself, but trying to cover it, setting his jaw and taking a breath*
T!Ed: S-stay with me. Please? *looks at him nervously*
C!Envy: Where would I go? *keeps the arm around him, wanting to make sure he doesn't fall, and helping him to the bedroom*
T!Ed: *leans against him as they head back to the bedroom, jerking his head in a shake, then sits heavily down on the bed, glancing at the nightstand*
C!Envy: *almost sits down before catching himsef, looking at the spot his father sat* Um, get up a second. I want to change the sheets. ...Sorry, it would just make me feel better. *manages a brittle little smile, wanting to pass it off as another of his little neuroses, following his gaze to the nightstand questioningly*
T!Ed: *stands, biting his lip* Why? *hesitates a moment and opens the knife drawer, taking out a couple of the more wicked knives and clutching them to his chest*
C!Envy: *offers his arm to help him over to a nearby chair* It would just make me feel better. *takes some sheets out of the linen closet, setting them aside and tugging the used ones off, stuffing them into the hamper and beginning to remake the bed*
T!Ed: *slumps into the chair once he sits in it, watching him change the sheets, exhausted and apathetic*
C!Envy: *smooths the bed distractedly, going back over to help him back into bed* Think you can get back to sleep?
T!Ed: *lays down on the bed, tucking the two knives under his pillow distractedly, shaking his head*
C!Envy: *sits next to him on the bed with a sad sigh* ...Do you want me near you?
T!Ed: *nods his head and practically latches onto Ren, head in his lap*
C!Envy: *strokes his hair, sighing and wishing he could afford to be the one needing comfort* This is not fair to you.
T!Ed: I... I don't want to worry about it anymore tonight, please...
C!Envy: *nods once* ...Thank you for bringing me back. *shifts a little, lying down and wrapping arms around him*
T!Ed: *snuggles against him, nodding against his chest and putting arms around him, watching the room wide eyed*

T!Ed: B-but we can't let him - *chokes on a sob, holding him tighter* let him hurt everyone else...
C!Envy: I can't do anything against him. *gives a small, helpless moan* I tried, I tried... So sorry, I'm sorry I'm so sorry...
T!Ed: Shh, shhhh... *kisses the top of his head several times, crying silently* L-let's not worry a-about it tonight...
C!Envy: *looks up at him, looking haunted with dark rings under his eyes* I gave them all up for you.
T!Ed: It's okay... *hugs him tightly, looking back distressed*
C!Envy: *laughs shortly, mirthless* Okay..? How can you say that? He is going to make everyone like my brothers and I don't even know why! I didn't ask why, oh gods...
T!Ed: We can leave. We can take our friends and leave for some place else and never come back. J-just promise me it'll be okay, please... *hugs him tightly*
C!Envy: *hugs back on reflex, eyes still vacant* Won't stop him. Will only make him angry.
T!Ed: Then we can keep running, but please come back to me, Ren, please. *sobs softly onto his shoulder*
C!Envy: *can't understand what he's asking, tilting his head slightly, questioning, eyes glassy* I am right here.
T!Ed: No you're not. *cups his chin and tilts his head up a little, looking into his eyes lost, cheeks tearstained*
C!Envy: *smiles a little, vacantly* Why are you crying? I love you, you do not have to cry.
T!Ed: Ren, please don't do this... I need you here. I need you here with me. *crumples*
C!Envy: I'm right here, pretty... *glances up at him, through the hair falling over his eyes* I'm not gone, Edward! I don't want to leave you!...
T!Ed: Oh, god, Ren... *breaks down crying hard, clinging to him*
C!Envy: *strokes his hair carefully* Edward, why are you crying? What happened? *eyes wide, still glassy and getting worried*
T!Ed: *shakes his head, trying to articulate something and failing, crying all over him*
C!Envy: *hugs him lightly, still stroking his hair and murmuring what he thinks is comforting gibberish*
T!Ed: *cringes at his murmuring, jerking his head away and just staring at him for a long time before ducking his head and kissing him hard on the mouth*
C!Envy: *makes a sharp noise, eyes going wide for a second before sliding closed, moaning softly and clutching him needily, returning the kiss and glad the crying has stopped*
T!Ed: *kisses back desperately, murmuring desperately between, holding him close*
C!Envy: *shifts, straddling his lap and pressing him back against the wall, hands roaming as he deepens the kiss*
T!Ed: *leans back against the wall, arching against him and moaning into the kiss, tears spilling out of the corners of his eyes*
C!Envy: *grinds down against him, sucking on his bottom lip and lifting fingers to his face, brushing through the tears and making a soft sound*
T!Ed: *chokes on a sob, grinding back against him, fingers curling in the fabric of his nightshirt*
C!Envy: *opens his eyes, making a small sound and kissing his cheeks desperately, trying to make the tears stop*
T!Ed: *twists his head to kiss him hard, letting hands slip down to his hips and squeezing hard, and nips at his lips, trying to stop crying*
C!Envy: *moans happily, kissing back viciously and pressing against him*
T!Ed: *cries out against his lips, panting hard, and bucks hips beneath his, grinding upwards*
C!Envy: *pants, head falling back and clinging, fingers digging into his shoulder*
T!Ed: *nips at his throat, playing his tongue over his adam's apple and moving a hand between them, palming Ren's groin*
C!Envy: *makes a soft sound, pressing closer and kissing him again, violently, clutching at him*
T!Ed: *moans sharply into the kiss, rubbing his hand harder against him and arching closer, other hand holding onto his back*
C!Envy: *keeps kissing him, breathing shallowly through his nose, beginning to hyperventilate slightly and clinging desperately*
T!Ed: *moves his hand and slips it underneath Ren's shirt, scritching fingernails along his abdomen lightly, brushing their noises together and kissing him again*
C!Envy: *kisses him, needy and making soft sounds, slowly collapsing against him*
T!Ed: *puts arms around him tightly, murmuring against his cheek softly and rubbing his back, body trembling*
C!Envy: *hyperventilating, melting into him and pressing his face into Ed's neck weakly* Oh gods, Edward...
T!Ed: A-are you back? *squirms beneath him, breathing hard*
C!Envy: *makes a small noise* I... think... Edward, I am so sorry. I am so, so sorry...
T!Ed: Shhh, please don't worry about it, please don't leave me again. Please please please please... *murmurs the word, choking on a sob*
C!Envy: Edward- *hugs him tightly* No, I'm not leaving, I am not going anywhere. Please, don't cry...
T!Ed: But you were gone, you were gone... *buries his face in his hands, crying again*
C!Envy: I'm right here, love, I promise! *getting panicked, not sure what to do*
T!Ed: A-and if he c-comes back... y-you'll g-go away again... *curls up a little*
C!Envy: *looks away, biting his lip and shifting off of him, suddenly very aware of their position, curling up against the wall* I'm sorry.
T!Ed: *tucks his leg up to his chest, arms wrapped tightly around himself, trying hard to keep his crying silent*
C!Envy: I- I don't know what happened, Edward, I'm sorry! Please don't be angry...
T!Ed: *shakes his head* I-I... W-we should p-probably get back t-to bed... *gropes for one of Ren's hands*
C!Envy: *takes his hand gratefully, feeling numb and nodding* Alright. *spots his crutch a ways away where it was thrown* Here, I can help you- *stands, a little shakily, and reaches down to help him up and slip an arm under Ed's to support him*
T!Ed: *holds onto him tightly as they stand, grateful for the support, and takes his crutch, shaking slightly*
C!Envy: Will you be alright? I can help you to the bedroom... *feeling shaky himself, but trying to cover it, setting his jaw and taking a breath*
T!Ed: S-stay with me. Please? *looks at him nervously*
C!Envy: Where would I go? *keeps the arm around him, wanting to make sure he doesn't fall, and helping him to the bedroom*
T!Ed: *leans against him as they head back to the bedroom, jerking his head in a shake, then sits heavily down on the bed, glancing at the nightstand*
C!Envy: *almost sits down before catching himsef, looking at the spot his father sat* Um, get up a second. I want to change the sheets. ...Sorry, it would just make me feel better. *manages a brittle little smile, wanting to pass it off as another of his little neuroses, following his gaze to the nightstand questioningly*
T!Ed: *stands, biting his lip* Why? *hesitates a moment and opens the knife drawer, taking out a couple of the more wicked knives and clutching them to his chest*
C!Envy: *offers his arm to help him over to a nearby chair* It would just make me feel better. *takes some sheets out of the linen closet, setting them aside and tugging the used ones off, stuffing them into the hamper and beginning to remake the bed*
T!Ed: *slumps into the chair once he sits in it, watching him change the sheets, exhausted and apathetic*
C!Envy: *smooths the bed distractedly, going back over to help him back into bed* Think you can get back to sleep?
T!Ed: *lays down on the bed, tucking the two knives under his pillow distractedly, shaking his head*
C!Envy: *sits next to him on the bed with a sad sigh* ...Do you want me near you?
T!Ed: *nods his head and practically latches onto Ren, head in his lap*
C!Envy: *strokes his hair, sighing and wishing he could afford to be the one needing comfort* This is not fair to you.
T!Ed: I... I don't want to worry about it anymore tonight, please...
C!Envy: *nods once* ...Thank you for bringing me back. *shifts a little, lying down and wrapping arms around him*
T!Ed: *snuggles against him, nodding against his chest and putting arms around him, watching the room wide eyed*
