The sweet smell from the bakery swarmed the area…The colorful flowers that bloom on the green grass…The buildings that stand taller than me…The fire that burns the trees…The radio that plays such a beautiful tune…The shop that keeps gathering attention…The clouds that float above me. And you. The air I choke on, the sun that burns my eyes.
I want to consume, I want to appear beautiful, I want to have that influence, I want to express that hate...I want to speak to a crowd that would listen…To buy what I want. To rest when I want. YOU. Get all of that. YOU. Get the life I want…FLAWLESSLY. EVEN.
…
“Disgusting..Repulsive. Sickening...” The man muttered under his breath, peeking from behind a tree. A beautiful blue robe, a peacock who stole the attention of some critters, and of course..his…sinner. If the ‘stalker’ had a mouth, he’d be biting it till it drew blood..Either way, continued to mutter insults. The man known as Envy was more clothed, along with a few more bandages that covered his body.
Why does he get all the attention? Huh? HUH!? Is it because I’m repulsive? He’s just as repulsive! L..Look at that smug grin! Ugh..ugh..
Envy held his non-existing mouth and held the tree, they turned their head away from Pride. SICK. Sick full of disgust. He gagged a bit before making his way far from that damned peacock. They dragged their feet as they walked, a natural habit of theirs.
He walked into a park, his hand clinged onto the cloak he wore. He glanced around at the happy people..Disgusting. Hand holding, kissing cheeks, bird singing sappy love bullshit. Envy gripped his hair, he was tired of this all. He was exhausted from seeing everyone get everything he wanted. Why can everyone be praised so..easily?! Why can you get all the love? The spotlight?! Why can you look so beautiful despite how many flaws you have?! You…you. YOU. That prideful man! He pats himself on the back and takes all the credit! Ug..h..UGH. How disgusting! That man gets it all, the fame, the wealth, the beauty and people. What more could she want?! THAT’s greed! He’s just a combined form of everything horrible…HORRIBLE! Why does anyone like him..why does anyone care about him? What even goes on in people’s heads when they see her flaunt all that and still cherish him like god? Will people do the same at your grave, Pride?! …that’s it. That’s it!
Envy had an idea pop in his head. He’d just kill Pride.
…Ahem, a week later. Envy has been staying at Pride’s home. Maybe that plan was a bit too easy. Pride didn’t seem to even CARE! About his presence in this..weirdly giant mansion. Seriously, GREED!
Envy walked around the halls, looking around. It was midnight, they came prepared looking for that filthy..disgusting and horrid looking peacock. “Ah, Hello. Why are you awake so..early?” Pride spoke behind the ‘fish’.
U- Ugh… Envy turned to him quickly, but gave a slightly disgusted reaction at the sight of him. He looks down at others with such disrespect. Sickening... “Noottthing…” Envy’s voice was raspy, filled with hate as his arms were behind him in the cloak. The peacock glanced at them, l- like he’s sizing me up and down! Envy was a bit concerned he was going to get caught with this plan. Why is he such a ‘know it all’!? Huh?! It’s UNFAIR!
“No one is awake this early and doing nothing..” Pride tilted his head, crossing his arms. Well it’s hard to be truthful if you look at somebody with such hate! Envy glanced away from Pride, irritated. “Well, rude of you to assume..I- I don’t….” Envy thought up a random excuse, shrugging their shoulders. “A sleep disorder! H- Having one!” Their voice cracked.
…
WHY IS HE STILL GLARING AT ME!??! E- Even more now!
Pride glared down at Envy, shaking his head and pinching the bridge of her nose. “That’s obviously a lie. Tell me.” The peacock spoke with such sickening confidence, his arrogance leaked all over his words.
Envy gripped the weapon they held behind their back. Their eyes narrowed at Pride. His confidence and self righteousness is pissing me off. Why should he even answer this guy’s question anymore? Huh?! What’s wrong with him! He- “I don’t have all day, I’m looking for someone.” Pride spoke with more irritation in his tone. His eyes didn’t move away from Envy.
He needs to kill Pride. Now.
Envy quietly moved the knife from behind his back, his breathing became more labored. He wanted Pride dead, before the tip of the blade could be revealed from behind his cloak…The peacock started to walk away. “I apologize, I’ll leave you to do whatever you’re doing. Please do not break anything.” Pride waved his hand, not turning around to view the fish.
What? What? What? WHAT?! T- This man! This BASTARD! Envy dropped the knife as Pride left the hallway into another room. He weakly punched the wall. Envy was filled with..well, jealousy…And hate. Envy was sick to their stomach with how easily brushed off he just was, how his present can be ignored. How can she just ignore someone like that? How can she just brush me aside like I don’t matter?! If I killed them right then and there..Would you have finally dropped that prideful act?! C- Come on! You have to have some layer that’ll crack soon, seriously..SERIOUSLY!? Envy hit the wall again, trying to not make any noise though…Awkwardly…They took a step back and let out a heavy breath.
Envy glanced down at the knife on the floor, picking it back up and going to the guest room to avoid seeing Pride in any of the hallways. Disgusting..
...All night, Envy tried to rethink a plan to ruin Pride’s reputation.
END…
