Envy's christmas part 3

Al thought for a moment before finally making up his mind.

"Dare," He said with caution, after all who knew what Winry could do?

Winry smiled slyly and said,

"I dare you to go one day, no one week, without playing with your cats."

Envy and Edward groaned, they both agreed that was a lame dare. But to Alphonse, it was the worst thing imaginable.

"But Stargaze, Lilac, Irisia, and Moonlight need me," Al protested snuggling with either Moonlight or Irisia. It was hard to tell since all the cats looked the same.

"Well it's either that or a bucket of milk on the head," Envy piped up from the chair he was strapped to. Al frowned, well frowned as much a suit of armor can.

"Fine, but you guys have to take care of them." Edward groaned while Envy sort of nodded like it was okay.

Al then spun the bottle. The bottle pointed to its next victim: Envy.

"Envy, truth or dare?" Al asked almost happy. He must have thought of something good considering the fact he lost his cats for a week.

"Neither," Envy said. Envy hated this game. One time when Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, and he played, it didn't turn out good. It was actually was about as bad as the time Greed bid $1500 for jacket back since Wrath "lost" it. Wrath wound up with a major sugar hangover, Gluttony was cross dressed, and Envy got his hair styled…by Lust who made it look like a poodle. Lust, of course, didn't get anything bad. When it came to truth or dare, she knew how to play her cards right.

"Come on Envy, pick one or say goodbye to your doll." Winry said holding up scissors to the fragile dress.

"Oh fine! Truth, I pick truth!"

"Aww, is the big, bad homunculus afraid of a dare?" Edward taunted. Envy's face quickly went from annoyed to about to kill someone.

"Don't you dare look down on me, human! Fine I pick dare." Edward grinned; he knew Envy had too much pride to be "looked down upon" by a human.

"Okay," Al's tone was surprising mischievous like he had something up his sleeves, or armor in this case.

"I dare you to prank call Armstrong and ask him about his tips." While Envy's mouth dropped to the ground, Winry and Edward were laughing their head off.

"No way am I doing that! That guy is psycho!" Envy sat in protest. Winry coughed holding scissors closer to Daisy. Envy growled, he sometimes wondered if Daisy was worth it but he then mumbled something.

"I'm sorry what was that you said?" Winry said straining to hear.

"I said, give me the phone," Al then handed a phone to Envy who dialed the number slowly. We all gathered around to hear the conversation.

"Hello, Major Armstrong speaking." We heard on the other end of the line.

"Yes hello Major, it's Ed. Just wondering if you can give me some tips on how you're soooo awesome." Edward exploded after hearing Envy use his voice for his dare. Alphonse and Winry were practically dying from trying to keep their laughter in.

"No fair Envy! You can't use my voice for your dare!" Edward shouted. Luckily Armstrong didn't hear as he was babbling how this was "passed down the Armstrong family for generations" or that is "something only the Armstrong's knew".

"Well actually, I never said he couldn't," Al said after he had finally quit giggling. Edward shot his brother a look that could make him explode on the spot. After about ten minutes of Armstrong's babbling, Envy said goodbye and hung up.

"That was too good," Winry said as she high-fived Alphonse. Edward continued to glare at the now smug sin. He was probably really proud that he managed to embarrass the Chibi through what was supposed to be a boring dare.

"Well it's my turn now, so all of you should be prepared." Envy smiled devilishly as he spun the bottle. We all shuddered to what horrors Envy could bring.

"Nothing illegal Envy," Edward warned. Envy's face put on a fake disappointed pout.

"You make things no fun Chibi-san." Edward swore that Envy was bi-polar, or at least had something that made his change moods so easily. The bottle slowed down to point to… Winry. Edward let out a sigh of relief. He was so glad that he was free from Envy's psycho wrath.

"Winry, do you choose the truth or the dare?" Envy said smiling a sadistic smile. Poor Winry, but better her than me. Envy scares me way too much; he'll go easy on her probably. Either that or mentally scar us all for life, which ever comes first.

"Truth," she said sternly.

"Okay then, would you rather spend a day listening to Roy singing or shave the back hair off Dante?" As if on cue, we all went Eww when the topic of Dante came up.

"Roy singing, definitely," Winry said now looking a little green.

"Okay then well my part of grossing people out is done, so let's continue."

Winry spun the bottle, just when it was about to point to Al again it stopped at Edward. Edward groaned but he was the only one who didn't already go.

"Truth or dare?" Winry had on a poker face.

"Dare," Edward said unsure of the dangers that lurked ahead. Winry's face changed into something truly evil, she whispered the dare into Edward' ear. Edward's eyes slowly widened as he heard the girl's sinister dare. His face now matching the color of a rosy apple, he refused.

"No way am I doing that!" he said trying to crawl back. Winry then coughed and pointed to the milk.

"I don't care, I'm not doing that!"

"Come on Ed, please! Even Al did his dare, so it's only fair if you did yours."

"Uh guys what's going on?" Al asked. Envy was also raising an eyebrow to the situation.

"Nothing!" Edward said.

"Just do it Ed," Winry put on a puppy dog face.

"Nope that won't work on me," Edward crossed his arms stubbornly. Then all at once Al and Envy, yes Envy, joined in with Winry. Feeling uncomfortable with their faces, Edward finally said, "Alright! I'll do it." Winry did a victory jump.

"So what was the dare?" Envy asked. He was soon answered as Edward ran his tongue down Envy's neck. Envy shuddered; he was not expecting that to happen. Then kissed his forehead, cheek, and finally lips. Envy had mixed feelings about this. Some part of him wanted to kill Winry for this. Another part wanted to thank her. And another part was mainly lust. This emotion was trying to take over, but Envy had too much pride to admit defeat to the Chibi. He wasn't going to break down as easily as Winry thought. Stupid girl, did she really think one kiss was going to persuade me to let a human effect me? This isn't a romance movie; I just wish she could get that through her thick head. After all I spent half an hour explaining that to her earlier.

~flash back~

"I know what happened with you and Ed, Al told me everything." Envy just glared at the mechanic who sat down next to the sin. Did she really that I would accept her as a friend? Someone who I can tell everything? Fat chance. After all I have no feelings for the Chibi, nothing except bloodlust.

"What about it?" Envy scoffed. Winry narrowed her eyes; he wasn't going to make this easy for her. But then again, she didn't expect him to.

"And how you won't open up your feelings to him. Look he likes you and it's obvious you like him. So just forget about your pride and admit it already."

Envy's blood started to boil, after all how dare this human talk down to him. Like she knew what was better for him? The last time he checked his mom was the bitch named Dante.

"Why would I? A sin, a homunculus, has feelings for something like a human? Especially a short one? So just go run along before you really make me mad." He could kill her but he promised he wouldn't try anything funny while he was staying here.

"No, and why don't you just admit your feelings? Though you're over four centuries old you still know what love feels like. So why is it so hard for you to just face the fact that you're in love?" Envy stared at this mechanic; she's really nuts if she thinks Envy can love. Envy laughed and laughed, but it was anything but warm.

"You really are clueless, aren't you? Homunculi can't feel love? Nor can they give love. It is a worthless human emotion that does nothing but slow you down." While Envy was busy saying how he thinks love is a vice, Winry got out her largest wrench.

"You're not listening!" Winry said as she knocked Envy out with her wrench.

Few minutes later he woke up tied to a chair, waiting for the appalling game of truth or dare.

~End of flash back~

Envy blushed but quickly scowled. He pushed the alchemist off him and mumbled something that couldn't be heard. Envy left the room and locked himself away into the bathroom. Al and Winry sighed while Edward looked mildly disappointed.

"Well that plan didn't work," Al said.

"Yeah, and I thought it was the perfect plan." Winry looked disappointed that things didn't go as planned. Winry soon left afterward, seeing that her part was done. Edward just kind of stared out the window.

"Nii-san, are you okay?" Al asked.

"Oh I'm fine Al," Edward flashed a fake smile. "Just go and eat lunch without me, I'm not really hungry right now."

"Okay but if you do get hungry. There's some leftover chicken with rice and string beans in the fridge, okay?"

"Okay Al, and oh I won't tell Winry if you do play with your cats." Al sighed.

"No it's okay, I should keep my promise and I will do it. Just make sure Moonlight, Stargaze, and Irisia are together. Lilac prefers to be alone."

Edward laughed at his brother's knowledge about what his cats liked. Although he thought that four cats were four too many. But Al was pretty calm when he let Envy stay so he let him keep the cats.

Edward then went to the kitchen to get some lunch; he ate a lot for someone his size. While he was looking for a plate in the bottom cupboard he heard someone come into the room. Slowly and quietly he peeked over the corner of the counter. The sight was truly amazing, Envy, the bad homunculus, playing with Al's cats. No kidding, all of them. And to top it off, he looked like he was having fun; heck the cats were having fun. Edward looked like he had just observed a whale crawling out of the sea and flying into the sky. Envy's favorite cat seemed to be Lilac, the one who usually likes to be alone.

Amazing, every time I try to pet Lilac. She scratches me, but Envy and she are getting along better than Al and I.

Edward got the cold chicken out of the fridge and slowly walked away to his room, he made sure Envy didn't see him. Envy probably wouldn't let Ed live after seeing Envy's soft side for cats.

Later, long after Envy started playing with the cats, long after the failed game of truth or dare, and long after dinner, Edward fell asleep with a book in his hand. The problem with this is that he fell asleep on the couch where Envy would sleep. The sin stared at the blond, his ponytail fell out so his golden mane fanned out underneath him. Envy couldn't wake him up, so he carried him bridal style to Edward's bedroom. As soon as he got the Chibi underneath the covers, he looked around to make sure no one else was watching.

"You better not tell anyone else about this, "Envy mumbled as he placed a kiss on Edward's lips. Envy left the room, closing the door behind leaving the boy to his slumber. Edward's eyes cracked open and h whispered into the dark,

"Don't worry I won't."
