J, GOB: Sunday Morning

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed had managed to miss anything too strange about the weekend.  At least anything strange enough to distract him from the important task of deciding which donuts he wanted.

He studied the case thoughtfully, wondering if it would make a difference which bear claw he picked.

No, Lust still didn't really need food but he was looking for people. Interesting people, and the memories he had drifting inside his head told him that the boy she spotted when passing by was just that.

"Edward Elric?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

He turned quickly. "Mustang? What the hell happened to you? Did you turn into a girl?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust tilted his head. That name was so familiar. "No."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ed snapped. "Did the inanity go to your head?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You should keep your temper under control, Fullmetal alchemist," Lust replied calmly.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"You don't get to tell me what to do anymore, Mustang," Ed glared.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust smirked. "So feisty. They did say that you have a temper."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Who did?" Ed snapped. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're the one losing your temper," Lust replied, circling Edward. "Why don't you tell me what's wrong with you?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

He glared, turning as Lust circled. "I'm trying to figure out what you're doing? You're like Creepy McCreeperson!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust leaned forward, his shirt fallen further open. "That's not a nice thing to say. Didn't anyone teach you some manners?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed's eyes finally landed on the red mark on Roy's chest and he leaped back against the counter, his hands coming together in front of him. "Who the HELL are you, homoculous?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"So you finally noticed?" Lust sneered and he stepped closer. "I did die protecting you once."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed jumped back again. "You never did!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're being cruel, alchemist," Lust replied, tilting his head as he watched him. "I just wanted to help you so I could be human too. To understand the memories that I carry. There's so many."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Who are you?" Ed flailed. "What did you do with Mustang?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Do I really need to spell it out? I'm Lust," he smirked. "I did nothing to him. I am him."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed stared then slapped his hand against the ground, a spear rising into his grip. "Liar. Get away from here, Envy."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust rolled his eyes and he swiped his hand through the air, for a moment his fingers turned long and sharp and they sliced right through the spear. "What did I say about that temper?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

He jumped forward, aiming a kick for Lust's head. "Just means you better get used to not being listened to."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He simply let the kick hit him, the taste of blood in his mouth was invigorating and he held his ground. Smirking, he licked at the corner of his mouth. "Now now, Edward. That's not very nice." With one fast move, he brough the sharp tips of his fingers dangerously close to Edward's throat.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed lunged back away from the nails, bringing his automail arm up to punch them away from him. "Yeah, I'm a jackass. Get over it."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust withdrew his fingers, a cruel smile playing across his lips. "You're afraid too," he remarked.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"I'm not afraid of anything," he lied, jumping forward to aim a fist towards Lust's face.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

This time he blocked it, fingers closing around Ed's fist. "Then why are you running around like an idiot when you know you can't hurt me like this?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Why are you standing here then trying to insult me?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're easy to goad," Lust said simply, his grip tightening.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed leaned back, letting the man take his weight then shifted forward again with a fast kick, trying to push Lust back out of his way. "Dante's dead and the rest of you. You should be to."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He simply took the pain as he maintained his hold on Ed's hand. "Did you really think that once Dante was gone, alchemists would stop trying to bring back what they love?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

He stared. "...yes."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust leaned forward, his eyes cruel and dangerous as his fingers hardened, digging into Ed's hand. "You're naive."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed ripped his hand away, not caring if the nails tore through his skin as his automail arm came up to try to bring it across Lust's face. "Not so naive I haven't killed your enough 'siblings.'"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

There was a crunch as the fist hit, but Lust was still smirking even as bones restored itself. "Shame you learned nothing and still repeated your sins," he sneered.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't ever," Ed snapped, punching him again.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

This time he was sick of taking punches and he blocked it, following it up with a kick aimed to Ed's chest. "You're wrong."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"I dealt with my sin," Ed snapped, getting thrown back by the kick and immediately bouncing back up. "I'll deal with you too."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust smirked at him. "I'm your sin too."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"...I'm not that dumb," he snapped.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Then who do you think made me?" Lust asked with a sneer.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"I didn't," Ed insisted. And now he less wanted to fight than just find a way out. "You're not him, and your kind lies. Always."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Then why do I look like him?" Lust wanted to know.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Cause someone else is an idiot," Ed gasped, refusing to believe what he was being told.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Denial doesn't suite you, Fullmetal alchemist," Lust told him with a sneer.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Lust doesn't suit you, homouculous."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Is that the best you've got?" Lust smirked. "You've grown weaker."
