Step 17

A/n: Here we are chapter 17!! First of all I would like to thank some reviewers.

Envy: Hurry up already!

Sakura: Alright! Don't rush me! I would like to thank all the people who have reviewed and read my story!

Envy: Done?

Sakura: Yep! All done! . . . Wait, where's Ed? He's supposed to write this.

Envy: He's still hiding. Winry's here.

Sakura: Oh. Heh. Then I guess you have to write the chapter.

Envy: My pleasure. But she really is behind you.

Sakura: What? (Turns to see an angry Winry.)

Winry: Where's Ed?!

Sakura: Um. . . I asked him to go to the store.

Winry: Oh? Did you really?

Envy: (Whispering to Sakura) Nice cover. What if she wants to stay and wait for Chibi?

Sakura: (Whispering) I don't know.

Envy: (Still whispering) Can I kill her?

Sakura: No!

Envy: (Pouting) Why not?

Winry: I'm not deaf you know!

Sakura and Envy: . . .

Envy: Sakuraaaa. Let me.

Sakura: No.

Winry: Looks like I have to say the disclaimer. Sakura doesn't own us. I'm glad she doesn't! Since I end up with Ed in the show!

Envy: No, you don't. There're just hints that he might like you. Al too. You really get around in the show don't you? Let's see. . . Chibi - san, Al, Mustang, Hawkeye, and Roze.

Winry: I do not! Ed's the only one for me! I'm not gay!

Envy: Could have fooled me.

Sakura: (Listening to them start a cat fight) Let's just start the show. If it starts to get violent I'm putting money on Envy.

Step 17

The golden haired boy was fidgeting nervously while being glared at by a pair of bright blue eyes.

“What's taking Envy so long? He should have been out here by now! Dammit Al! You just hadto untie her!” He thought gritting his teeth.

He stood and started walking toward the hall when an angry voice said. “Going to go check on your boyfriend Ed?” The flaxen haired teen looked over his shoulder grinning.

“Yeah, I'll be back in a minute.” He replied as he heard Winry muttered. “You're probably going to join him, the stupid palm tree.”

He knocked first on the bathroom door and upon getting no answer started to get worried. He opened it and walked into the room. The shower was on and steam was slowly filling the room.

“Envy?” He called. Again no answer. Sighing he walked over to the shower curtain only to give a shout of surprise as a pale hand caught his wrist. He was dragged into the shower clothes and all.

He was being pressed up against the shower wall by a warm, wet body. He blushed and blinked up at a grinning Envy.

“Looks like you've gotten wet Chibi - san.” purred the green haired sin. Ed gave said sin a glare before growling. “And whose fault is that? You're the one who got me wet!”

Envy's grin widened as he leaned down, brushing his lips against the now blushing blonde's.

“Then how about I make it up to you? Hmm? You're already wet now we just have to get rid of the clothes.” He purred. The golden eyed teen blushed but gave a slow nod, making Envy grin.

Envy had just gotten the alchemist's shirt off when the door slammed open and the curtain was roughly pulled back. Winry was standing there glaring with a sighing and if a suit of armor could blush, Al would be.

The girl's eyes widened before a blush went across her cheeks. Envy gave a sigh of annoyance before reaching and shutting the water off. He stepped out pulling Edward with him before shifting into his normal clothes.

Edward gave him an incredulous look and said. “Why didn't you do that in the first place?!”

The sin raised an eyebrow and stated. “I do enjoy taking a bath or shower Chibi - san. Just like I don't have to eat or sleep but I enjoy both activities. Plus there was the added bonus of getting a wet and naked Chibi in there with me.”

Ed blushed bright red but nodded anyway while the other blonde glared now having gotten the blush to go away.

Dinner was a very quiet affair and true to his word Envy was actually eating and seemed to be enjoying it.

“That blonde wench woman just had to go and ruin the moment. And I was about to get Chibi naked too.” thought Envy giving a mental sigh before sending a glare over the table at the blonde woman who gave it right back.

Ed looked nervously from Winry to Envy and back before thinking. “If looks could kill.. . . .I have to admit I'm a little disappointed though. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Winry hadn't had barged in.”

Alphonse got up and started clearing away plates when it appeared that no one was going to keep eating. “I made a special dessert since Winry was here visiting.” said Al.

The armor disappeared into the kitchen before reappearing with three bowls of Reese's cups ice cream. Envy raised an eyebrow and said. “I didn't know they put these things in ice cream too.”

Ed gave a laugh and replied. “Apparently because they are so popular they thought it would be a good idea. But Al you didn't make this!”

The suit of armor gave a giggle before replying. “It was a little short noticed.”

Envy gave another grin before scooping a spoon fill and turning toward the now confused chibi.

“Open up Chibi.” He said as Ed turned a bright red. He leaned in and took the ice cream from Envy's spoon getting a mischievous grin from the sin and a giggle of amusement from his little brother.

But none were paying attention to the blonde haired girl sitting across the table. Sadness filled blue eyes looked upon the scene and she looked down at the table. Winry felt tears start to fill her eyes and pushed them back roughly. She plastered on a bright smile and said. “Edward?”

The blonde alchemist turned from where he had been getting spoon fed by a grinning sin. He swallowed before replying. “Yeah? What is it Winry?” Envy had narrowed his eyes.

Winry just smiled. “Since I'm here I thought I should take a look at your automail. You always seem to get them busted up so I thought better safe than sorry.” She said. Ed gave a thoughtful look before nodding. “Sure” Envy gave a death filled glare that sent a shiver of dread down Winry's spine.

They were sitting in the middle of the living room on the floor while Envy sat on the ledge of the open window watching like a hawk. Edward just gave mental sigh before giving a grunt of pain.

Envy tensed and seemed like he would pounce at any moment. Winry gave an apologetic smile before saying. “Sorry about that. It looks like you've sprained one of the lower arm mechanisms and there are a couple of bolts loose at the shoulder joint. There're just small things but could really limit your movement.”

She moved the arm slowly before getting to work. The flaxen haired teen just closed his eyes and every time he would wince or give a grunt of pain the blue eyed girl murmured a sorry.

Envy sat watching them the whole time and finally the mechanic started to pack up her tools. “There! All done! I'm actually surprised Ed, you didn't have as much damage as you usually do.” She said brightly.

Ed gave a bemused smile before replying. “Well . . . I haven't really done anything dangerous the last few weeks either.” Winry gave a smile and closed the lid of her tool box.

“But it looks like you're going to out grow those soon. At least . . . in the next couple of months. You'll have to come back to Rizembool and let me make new ones for you.” She said happily.

Ed nodded then Winry got a thoughtful look. “You know I was reading something the other day. About how the weight of the automail could affect the growth of children and young adults. Of course if just drank your milk than you wouldn't be short.” She said with amusement as Ed glared.

“I'm not short and I will never drink that disgusting white stuff that looks more like glue than something edible!” He yelled angrily causing Winry to erupt into giggles. Ed replied with a `Not funny' as Envy walked over and crouched in front of the steaming blonde.

“Chibi - san? You don't drink milk? No wonder you're short.” He said mirthfully. The alchemist gave a death glare at the grinning homunculus in front of him.

Winry got up to put away her toolbox and came back with a deck of cards. “Who wants to play a game?” She asked grinning. Al had already gone to bed or however he slept.

Envy's grin widened and asked. “Can we play poker?” Winry nodded while Ed shook his head with a loud `NO'. “We can use Reese's cups for money.” replied Winry. Then Envy asked. “How about strip poker? And who ever is the winner can lick off that Reese's cups ice cream from Chibi.”

The alchemist looked horrified and started stuttering out excuses as Winry nodded.

It was three hours before dawn and Edward was down to his underwear. Winry wasn't in any better shape wearing only her bra and underwear. Envy on the other hand was still fully clothed.

“Envy . . . . Shifting into new clothes is against the rules.” muttered Ed irritably. He looked down at his hand with an eyebrow twitching. He had a feeling he was about to loose his pants, literately.

The green haired homunculus tilted his head to the side grinning, thoroughly enjoying the view of an almost naked Chibi. “Really?” he purred. Envy had almost lost every single hand but had shifted into new clothes when he was going to loose his underwear.

“Downright cheating” muttered the blonde haired mechanic. The girl sighed before laying her cards down. “Envy, you win. I quit. I have to get up in a few hours to board a train. I'm too tired to keep playing.” She said as she stood stretching and waving as she went down the hall with her clothes in her arms.

A soft click of a door was heard. Envy grinned and crawled over to the blonde teen that was almost burning a hole through his cards. “Shall I start now Chibi?” purred Envy. A shout of `NO! ENVY!' was heard though out the streets scaring off the birds in the early morning.

Sakura: All done!

Envy: You're getting farther away from Reese's cups.

Sakura: I noticed that. Don't worry the next couple of chapters will have them in a more active role.

Envy: Hmm.

Sakura: At least Winry is gone and Ed can come out from hiding. Where is he?

Envy: I'll go find him.

Sakura: Were you scared of her too?

Envy: (raises eyebrow) No, just the wench.

Sakura: Please Read and Review!! I hope you liked it.

The next chapter will be featuring someone even scarier than Hughes!

Envy: I know who.

Sakura: Shh!
