I do not own any of the Fullmetal Alchemist characters or ideas. Though it would be awesome because it would mean I could draw much better than I do currently LOL XD! This story was done more for my friends and I and the exercise experimentation then anything, so sorry for the O.C. but I hope you like her as time goes on. And at least I don't torcher Ed in this story as I am want to do in most of my FMA stories, at least not yet anyway…good luck Ed! (Holds the thumbs up as he runs away screaming)
The paperwork in front of him blurred for the twelfth time. This was no good, how was he supposed to just do paperwork in an office when he was so used to doing field work? At least while you were doing field work you weren't cooped up and bored. Even if it were easier to get into trouble, which was more likely than not for him, he wanted field work.
No, he definitely wasn't meant for paper work, Edward Elric decided with a grunt tapping the end of his pen on the stack of papers he was trying to focus on. That bastard knew exactly what he was doing, sticking him in the office. If the miles of paper work didn't kill him first the paper cuts would do the trick.
He had to admit however there was one perk to being in the office. Ed let his gaze travel over to the desk closest to the bastard Generals personal office. As if the main office wasn't good enough that asshole got his own space, though it was nice to not see his smirking face whenever Ed looked up.
The desk in question was vacant of a pistol toting blond. After all someone had to take the position of colonel that was vacated by the bastard. Riza Hawkeye was perfect for the job. So instead of wise dark amber eyes that could keep the whole room and its occupants in check with just a glance, there sat a younger auburn haired girl with quiet brown eyes.
Felain Tempest, just Fe, was General Mustang's personal assistant. Ed could only guess why. She was pretty. Not flashy pretty but quiet pretty. She wasn't overly endowed or big city busy. She didn't wear make-up or have her nails crazy long with bright colors; the way Ed imagined Roy to like his girls.
Hell she didn't need the make-up, the cream colored skin contrasted well with her eyes, eyelashes, and eyebrows. Ed had also taken the time to notice when it was cold out her lips would go a cherry color on their own then back to a light pink color when warm.
Ed watched as her delicate hands flew over the papers in front of her putting four together then stapling. She had her own little rhythm going along with the bob of her head, no doubt mentally playing a song she liked. Long legs crossed, her right foot would also bob from time to time popping the back of her shoe on and off.
Of course she was in a skirt that was mandatory if you worked for Mustang and were a girl. Especially if he knew he could get away with that aspect with his female staff. However Ed had heard she had always opted for the skirt instead of the pants except when in the field.
Still Ed took a moment to silently thank the raven haired alchemist, as he leaned back a little to enjoy the view. Those long legs didn't seem to stop and at another point in time Ed would've found himself intimidated, woman or not. But not now, he was older, taller, and much more aware of the opposite sex. Don't get him wrong he had never been the type of guy to just check out a girl for the distraction. But when it came to Fe, well there was just something in her that brought to mind a timid little sheep sitting amongst the wolves and didn't even realize it. Not until it was too late, and the wolf had her pinned ready to rip into that soft skin.
A sharp thrill of excitement jumped around in his stomach threatening a course further south but Ed soothed that quickly. This would be a most inconvenient time to have that little problem.
Then as if answering his battle for control an irritating voice called from the closed door on Fe's right. That stopped the problem in its tracks as a chill went down Ed's spine. Stopping what she was doing Fe looked up and gold met brown as her gaze met his.
Smiling politely she gracefully stood up from her chair and disappeared behind the afore mentioned door.
Shaking himself Ed tried to go back to the paperwork. He was a ship and it was an ice burg, need he say more?
A couple minutes later Fe emerged with a piece of paper looking slightly harassed. He wasn't the only one watching her now. Havoc followed her with his eyes wiggling an unlit cigarette between his lips. Hand with pen poised motionless over the paper he had just been writing on.
Fe searched for something minutely on her desk but came up empty handed. Giving her furniture a dirty look like it was at fault she shook her head and walked across the room passing Ed as she went and left out through the hallway. It took a moment but the light smell of flowery perfume wafted past in her wake making him and Havoc sigh. Two others let out a small smile as if relaxed.
Ed waited five seconds, ten seconds, and twenty seconds, before pushing up from his chair. Mumbling something about needing the bathroom, which was partly true, he was waved off in acknowledgement before he slipped out of the room. After taking care of what he needed to he took the long way back just to see if he was right.
Sure enough Fe was in the store room looking for some kind of paper product shifting through boxes of things she didn't need. Ed leaned in the door way watching her hips swing from one side to the other with her movements. She didn't know he was there. At least that's what he thought until, "Major, could you help me reach that box please?" She hadn't even turned around and Ed couldn't honestly remember the last time he had jumped. Casting a glance over her shoulder at him she pointed up at the box she needed clearly out of her reach.
"S….sure." Ed stumbled walking over to her. The door swung closed behind him leaving the two in the awkward glow of the single fluorescent light that was stuck to the ceiling. His ego crowed a little as he stood next to her. She was smaller than him, andhewas helping herget something. Reaching up he pulled the down the box indicated and handed it to her. "How did you…" He started but she winked taking the box.
"You have this very nice aura that casts a very large shadow." She smiled, "So was there something you needed?"
"N…no. Not really." He was blushing! Why the hell was he blushing? Older men didn't do that! Sure he had seen Havoc do it but Havoc was, well, an idiot.
Big brown eyes stared at him for a minute waiting for him to say what he was thinking. Damn this girl was perceptive. "Well…..its just….why are you working for Mustang?" Yes Ed avoid the issue by asking something stupid instead of what you really want to ask. That just screams genius.
One delicate eyebrow arched up as she considered the question. "Well, I could say because working under him is a good way to keep moving up the latter, but," she grinned at his 'of course' look. "I really didn't have much say in the matter."
Crossing his arms Ed cocked his head to the side mulling over that last part.
"Honestly," she leaned in conspiratorially, "I tried to get my friend Hannah hired in as his assistant. She's a little more used to his kind of attention. But," leaning back away she sighed shrugging her shoulders. "No joy, she is kinda ditsy and I think he picked up on that."
"Huh." Ed replied not sure what else to say.
"Was that all major?" She asked shifting the box in her arms.
"Oh, yea, I guess." But then, "so why did you look so harassed when you left his office? Especially if this was the only thing you needed?"
"Oh." Her pink lips puckered together as her eyes went a little darker. "I am sure you know what the man you work for is like. He's got this really annoying playboy voice when he is trying to overly friendly. I wouldn't mind the compliments so much if he didn't use that tone on me. Makes me feel like he thinks I am a stupid bimbo."
Ed's eyes got a little wider and his palms started to sweat. He nodded in agreement but inside he was pondering, 'Love?' She is smart, pretty and she doesn't cave and go all gaga over Mustang's playboy tactics. However as his eyes traveled down he swallowed. No, maybe not love but he could think of a couple other things that were easily translated as that for some people. The scientist in him was going over the physical reactions.
Eyes are dilating, heart speeding up, shallower breaths, sweating, extra hormones being released, saliva glands cranking up and muscles tensing. Distracted, Ed had always wondered about the saliva glands over activity. It's not like he was going to take a bite of his favorite food or something. So why the extra saliva, it made no sense to him, what could he possibly need it for?
Coming back to himself Ed found Fe a little closer looking at him with worry. "Hey, you ok in there Ed?"
"Yea." He smiled. Someone help him but she shouldn't have gotten that close. She smelled like vanilla and raspberry's, her dark hair framed her face perfectly and those lips. He watched them move as she spoke his name again.
He was moving and she jumped as he pulled the box out of her hands setting it on the closest shelf. Then he was pinning her between him and the one part of the wall that wasn't covered in shelves. This was small and he couldn't maneuver very well. So to the floor it was and she wasn't really resisting that much and that was good, right?
His lips pressed against hers as his hands slid over her body. His right hand searched for any kind of skin access as it slid over her torso. Ed was vaguely aware of Fe wrapping her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. A soft swipe of his tongue across her lips and they opened allowing his tongue to make a long deep sweep of her mouth. She moaned and Ed let out a deep growl as her taste exploded on his tongue. Then hers was moving with his as one of her knees bent up sliding her skirt further up her legs to bring him closer.
Finally his right hand found success in the folds of her undershirt. A nice tug and the shirt slid from the skirts waist band. Fe wasn't stopping him; in fact she was arching into his touch. Hands sliding over her waist as he took in the feel of her soft skin, the more he felt the more he wanted.
He got the shirt just below her breasts when she pulled out of the kiss and gave a squeak. Stopping Ed looked at her his breath mingling with hers. "Cold floor." She panted squirming under him so her lower back wasn't touching and with the move thrusting her breasts out beautifully. Ed was distracted by this sight for the merest instant wanting all of her skin exposed to his eyes.
"Right." As he came back to the moment, peeling off his over coat he laid it underneath her so she wasn't touching the cold concrete. Settling back down on his uniform blues she looked up at him and he had to take a breath. She was gorgeous, lips swollen from his attention, brown eyes dusky with want and her skirt sliding up her cream colored thighs. This was what he wanted she was so open, so willing and the look on her face…. his cock jumped in his pants making them uncomfortable.
Reigning in some of his hunger he licked his lips letting his hands slowly slide along her legs under the skirt. Her eyes went to what he was doing watching him move the fabric further. Bending down he started at her left knee administering feather light kisses along the exposed skin as his hands kept moving up.
A light mewling sound from her let him know he was doing the right thing even though the monster in his chest roared at the slow pace he was taking. It demanded he go faster and take her the way he wanted. Why should he take caution now when he never had before? But looking up and watching her reaction was enough of an answer. The thought of her sprawled beneath him begging for more was so strong he felt the front of his brief's become damp and if he was quite mistaken he could smell her need as well. And automatically, yet again, his saliva glands kicked into overdrive.
Giving a nice slow long lick to her inner thigh the girl below him shuddered and let out a nervous giggle. Getting the skirt all the way up his hands ran over the shear fabric of her panties and cupped her ass as he brought them around to make sure the skirt hadn't bunched up under her. He moved as she lifted up to a sitting position her hands going for his pants.
Not wanting to have nothing to do as her hands undid his belt he started at the buttons of her shirt till her chest was exposed all the way to her heaving belly. Smiling to himself he noted her bra, that was a dark maroon color with a lacy pattern, matched the thin underwear. Bringing his gaze back up to her face he realized she was struggling with something.
Ah yes, his double buckle belt. Laughing a little to himself he took pity on her and helped her work the thick leather away. Her hand grazed his erection through the cloth of his pants and he gave a low groan closing his eyes as she peeled away the cloth until it was around his knees. Then her hands were working at his shirt opening the front so her hands could skim along his stomach muscles and chest.
He found it slightly odd as her attention turned to his upper torso as his weeping cock begged for attention jumping up to receive whatever it could. But her lips closed around one of his nipples and all other thought flew out the window as intense heat took over. And gods every time she sucked a little a line of pleasure pulled from his nipple straight to his groin making it hard to think clearly but one fact remained firm in his mind. She needed to be more naked. Hands flew to the back of her bra and he needed both to undo the damned contraption.
Fe pulled away from his chest to pull off the rest of her shirt and the bra went with it exposing her breasts to his hungry gaze. Then he was running his hands over the warm flesh below and above making her squirm and thrust into his touch. When his course hands finally ran over her nipples she sighed letting out another happy mewl. Each nipple came up to form little pink buds quite happily.
Wrapping his right arm around her he pulled her closer trapping his penis between their bodies so he could lean down and experiment on one of her nipples to see if it felt as good to her. Rewarded again she let her head fall back and started to grind against him with a gasp. His erection finally pleased for some attention pushed back against her stomach finding comfort against her smooth belly. Running his left hand over her abdomen he let his fingers glide over her panties feeling how warm she was. This elicited a round of hungrier panting moans from the warm creature in his arms.
His fingers started to dip into her panties and she bucked away as if uncertain. It was fine he waited, shifting to the other nipple. Then her legs were opening wider pushing up into his hand, his fingers came in contact with soft downy curls then the moist heat of her center. Her moans became more desperate as his fingers slid into the warmest part of her one finger gently stroking the hot nub of her love button.
Slowly he made his way closer to her opening then his middle finger was easing into her. This time her gasp was interesting to listen to and the grip on his arm became more desperate. A full moan escaped her lips as he eased his finger in deeper probing her slowly feeling her muscles clench and release around the digit that was keeping busy. A second finger followed slowly opening her wider, she was really tight and the way her body moved, he knew she was tensing.
Gently lowering her to the floor Ed hooked his fingers in her panties and started tugging them down her hips. Getting them past her knees and down her legs he kissed her thighs again nipping gently. As he worked his way back up her body, fingers returning to work inside of her, he kissed her belly then up between her breasts, up her neck to suckle gently letting his teeth graze her skin. Gods he wanted her so bad, his cock throbbed painfully for release. He was shaking, his heart racing inside his chest, along with moaning sounds of his own.
A new sensation exploded in the back of his head, fingers were gently wrapping around his length. It was feather light touches at first then the grip got steadily stronger her thumb running over his tip as she fisted him. Reclaiming her lips he kissed her forcing his tongue into her mouth hungrily sweeping across her tongue that danced with his. But if he didn't stop her he was going to end in her hand and that was not an option. Pulling out of the kiss he leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Please Fe, let me….let me have you."
Ed counted the seconds for her response, his fingers still buried between her legs.
Fe nodded gently a hoarse "Yes" escaping breathily from her lips. Ed had to move, gently removing his hand from her and then moving her hand away from him reluctantly. Moving between her legs he leaned over her positioning himself outside her opening. She squirmed in response to his warmth starting to rub against the more intimate part of her.
He was sliding in and gods did it feel wonderful. Fireworks went off somewhere as she clenched just a little and he waited for her to relax and get comfortable again. Ed pushed in more as she calmed and moaned one hand snaking up behind his head pulling him into a deep kiss that lingered.
Seconds felt like hours as he eased himself inside then started to move. Faster, then a little faster, he wasn't quite all the way in but gods yesyesyesyes. A squeal as he shoved in almost all the way and it was a little too late to figure out if he had hurt her or not because they were moving again; pushing and pulling together and gods now he was in her, hips meeting his in a dizzying dance of heat. Had to move his arms so he wasn't letting her take all of his weight but she didn't mind pulling him back down and her chest was rubbing against his now as he groaned into the kiss. Had to pull his lips away to get a breath and they were both breathing heavily soft moans and panting mingling with the sound of skin on skin. Couldn't remember the last time he felt this good and her legs were wrapping around his waist without any hesitation trapping him in and against her body.
It was getting so warm they were sweaty from their exertions but neither seemed to care as the intensity built pulling at their stomachs and pulling them closer. Ed felt if something didn't happen soon they were going to meld that way and never find their way back to their own bodies. Because gods it was wonderful and hot and godsyesdontstop! Because if he stopped now the whole world would come to a screeching halt, it hadn't even crossed his mind they could be caught in a place like this till now but the thought was so fleeting he might've never even gave it a second to sink in.
His hands were in her hair as she kissed his neck her lips gliding over his skin only to drag her teeth over that same spot. Gods now she was moaning his name in his ear, a purring whisper against his hot skin, it made his eyes close enraptured by the sound. All he could do was reciprocate the action by moaning her name as he thrust harder into the silken body beneath him.
They were rolling and Ed was on his back, damn the floor was cold but it felt good at the same time, and Fe was sliding over him as he grabbed her hips moving them where he wanted them. She picked up the rhythm and he didn't have to guide her anymore but he added pressure to his grip and she gasped grinding against him harder. If he held her any firmer he knew he would bruise her but she ran her hands over his as she sat up urging him more.
Her body clenched around him and he knew it was only a matter of time before this was over. Refusing to go first he sat up capturing a nipple between his lips and running his tongue over the sensitive nub as she continued to work on him. Her hands slid into his hair pulling at the feeble ponytail that quickly gave way the band falling to the floor.
"Ed! Please!" a gasp in all of the moans, desperate and wanting as she clenched again. Growling in response he pulled her down harder thrusting in as far as he could go grinding his hips upwards and she rolled her hips mouth opening in a gasp that clenched her stomach muscles and tensed her legs. Acting quickly Ed pulled her lips back to his smothering her cry as he rolled her back over underneath him.
Warmth flooded around him as she came, her nails digging into his back, her body writhing under him. It was too much, her taste her smell the feel of her working under him, quickly he pulled out as pleasure over took his brain crashing against the inside of his skull, his body finding release in the chaos. Sliding down her body a little he kissed her neck as his body slowly stopped its release. His muscles shook as he lay down against her body he could feel her legs doing the same.
Senses coming back to him he could hear the soft hum of the lights above him and the beating of her heart underneath him. The heavy beating was nothing compared to the tantric rhythm of his own but it was still hypnotizing to listen to. Her breathing was ragged and mingled with his as they both came back to earth wrapped in the haze of the afterglow.
Looking up at her she met his gaze with a small blushing smile and he couldn't help but let his lips curl slightly back. Her eyes were glazed over the same way he imagined his must look. And for some reason he couldn't think of, the word was out of his mouth before he could stop it. "Sorry."
Head tilting to the side she looked at him questioningly. "Sorry?" she repeated, "sorry for what?"
A laugh worked its way up his chest, "I don't know. Maybe it was too fast or, well I guess I jumped on you without thinking it over."
Smiling back at him she shook her head, "No, I don't mind, as long as it's you." The last was whispered and barely audible.
But his interest was piqued, "As long as it's me?"
A darker blush worked its way across her cheeks to her ears and down part of her neck. "I like you, Ed. I just never thought you looked at me that way. You always seem so distant." She laughed a little, "kind of like a cat that you bring into your home. You're always so aloof about things that no one really knows what you're thinking till you decide on your own to get close to that person."
Laughing he snuggled down against her more, "I will forgive you this time for comparing me to a cat but I didn't think I was that bad." Sighing as she started to drag her fingers through his hair he rolled his shoulders. "We should probably get out of here before they come looking for you."
Nodding she pulled her hands out of his hair and waited for him to shift so she could get up. They stood together and moved around each other picking up their clothing and Ed couldn't help but watch as she got dressed taking care in how she put her clothes back on. He noticed her hair was a little messy but she ran her hands through it a couple times and most of it went back to the way it had been before their excursion. Once she was fully dressed she turned to him a smile back on her face. "So, I guess I'll see you in there then."
"Yea." Was all he could say only half dressed and noticing the color and fullness of her lips, pulling her to him he reclaimed them again and she melted under his touch opening her mouth to him. It was so easy, so simple he sighed into the kiss glad that something today had been so simple.
Ed had Fe leave the room first after another kiss. A small smile and twist of the head fanning out auburn waves and she disappeared behind the closing door with the box she had come in the room for in the first place. A sigh escaped his lips without even realizing he had been holding the breath.
Shit, what had he just done? His body knew, that was very sure of what had just happened but part of him was dumbfounded, surprised, confused, happy and unsure. Other than that he felt great, rejuvenated in fact. His body was humming from the exercise and relieved from the release. Hell he felt like he had just had the best night of sleep ever and was ready to tackle the rest of the day even though it wasn't sleep that had gotten him so energized.
Yet there were so many emotions but those were almost easy to sweep aside. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he continued dressing and was about to put his jacket on when he noticed something, the color was too familiar to mistake it for anything but what it was. Blood, the dark color on the blue of his uniform made the stain look purple. All thought came to an abrupt halt. The moment stood still as his breath caught.
The moment was gone as quickly as it had started and his brain kicked into overdrive. He tried desperately to remember anything that would've caused that, of all the bodily fluids that were released, to be on his jacket. He was quickly coming up empty handed as the reasons mentally ticked themselves off on his fingers and were shoved aside as improbable.
Rolling the coat up and shoving it under his arm he made his way back to the bathroom to clean up. As he walked and did what he needed to do once there he continued to think as he cleaned himself off. But the red liquid was also there on his cock as he cleaned reminding him to figure it out.
Washing his hands he looked in the mirror at his reflection. She wasn't menstruating he had seen enough of that from his time with Winry, and she hadn't had any of the signs of it. Besides he had never been one to bother a woman when it was that time of the month he would wait until she was done, frustration be damned. Blood did nothing for him regardless of how much he had had to deal with it from all of the crap he had been through.
Continuing his train of thought as he left the bathroom after fixing his hair back into its ever present ponytail he kept the jacket shoved under his arm hands in his pocket. Hungry now he headed in the direction of the cafeteria. He passed people in the halls but didn't bother to look up as he kept himself distracted. He remembered her letting out a squeal of pain at some point, was it when he pushed all the…..way…in?
"FUCK!" Several people ahead of him in the hall jumped and turned to look at him as he stopped lifting his head up to shout. He figured it out. She had never done anything like that before. Hence she had still been a virgin, hence the blood, the tightness, and finally the squeal. "What?", Ed growled at the people who were looking at him uncertainly, angry with himself he stomped around the blue uniforms and made his way into the cafeteria getting a tray.
He should've known she wasn't like that and that that was her first time from the memories he had from before. After all she wasn't his first. Of course the first person he had ever slept with had cried a little after word and Fe hadn't. But then he hadn't exactly taken his time with her either to find out.
'Shit,shit,shit,shit!' He thought to himself as he made his way back to the office, tray in hand. He felt terrible, she had even told him she liked him and all he had done was make some stupid comment to her comparing him to a cat! She was probably freaking out that she had given her first experience to someone who didn't say they liked her back, regretting it even! Why did guys have to think with one thing or the other? It wasn't fair! He would be faulted for that and it wasn't anything any man had ever been able to help.
Once he was back in the office however Fe gave him a smile as he walked back in, she didn't look upset. But Ed, through his dealing with other women, knew it didn't matter if they didn't look it they could still be feeling it. They could smile in your face while wishing you dead at the same time. Setting his tray down he took his seat across from Havoc.
"Hey chief, so that's where you went huh?" Havoc smiled. "Figured it must've been something like that."
"Heh heh, yea." Ed gave a weak smile really not interested in the food anymore. So he continued to work on the papers on his desk. Though throughout the course of the day not many of them got done and before he knew it Fe was timing out and leaving the office before he could say anything.
'Damn it!' he thought leaning his head back over the paperwork in front of him and reading a paragraph for the fifth time. This was useless and he gave serious thought to giving up for the day and heading home himself. After all it was five 0'clock, time for everyone to check out unless they wanted overtime. Maybe, if he hurried, he could catch up to Fe and ask her some questions, go back to her place and picking up where they left off was also an option. That was what he was thinking until Mustang's voice called out from his now open office door.
Getting to his feet Ed walked over to see the raven haired man sitting behind his desk putting things away. "What do you want? Just because Fe is gone doesn't mean I am going to do any paper filing for you." Ed crossed his arms over his chest glaring at the older man.
"That's not why I called you in here Ed. I have something that requires your attention." Roy pulled out a file on his desk and held it out. "You're going to have to leave tonight if you want the assignment. And we both know how much you love paperwork so I figured give it to you so you can get out of the office for a while."
Suspiciously Ed walked over taking the file and opened it. "Resembool? Why there?" Ed looked up as Roy stood reaching for his coat. "And why tonight?"
"Because there is an unregistered alchemist practicing some dangerous alchemy in that area and I need you to find him for me. Also because I know it's your home and you would want the case to handle your-self." The older alchemist shrugged on his jacket and watched Ed skim over the details. "You'd better go to your dorm and pack the train leaves at seven."
"But I…..hmm, Resembool. Right, well I guess what I had to do can wait." Ed folded the file under his arm and looked up to see Roy looking at him with a raised eyebrow. "What?"
Roy shrugged grabbing his car keys from the insides of his coat. "Nothing. So do you have a date or something you have to cancel?"
Ed felt his face heat up and he straightened so he could level the man with a glare. "No! And if I did do you think I'd tell you? Wouldn't want you rushing out to find out who she is so you could try stealing her."
Rolling his eyes Roy waited for Ed to leave his office before following him out and locking the door. "Don't worry Ed, that's juvenile. And besides," Roy smirked as a hard cold gaze turned back to him. "it wouldn't take her meeting me. Just one look and she would know who the better choice was."
"Whatever, bastard." Ed started putting away the things at his desk and grabbing his coat. "See you guys next week." He declared to the room, which only held Jean who was getting around to leave and Fallman who looked to be settling in for another couple of hours.
"See ya chief." Havoc grinned around a cigarette.
The walk too his dorm room didn't take long and shoving things into his suitcase took even less time. The whole time though Fe was on his mind. Was she going home or did she go drinking with friends which was usually what everyone did on Friday night. Mostly Friday night drinking was to draw the line between the work week and their weekend. It wouldn't have surprised him if she did go hang out at a bar with friends…friends he didn't know….maybe even guy friends he didn't know…..what if she had a boyfriend?
Guilt settled into his gut once again as he made his way to the train station. No, he was certain if she had a boyfriend she never would have let him touch her. And it's not like she had been pushing him away. Part of him felt guilty about their encounter and another was roaring in triumph that he had finally made a move. And the thought of her hanging out with guys he didn't know made him want to growl in frustration.
This was absolutely crazy he had no idea where both of them stood. True it wasn't like he asked and had really thought the whole thing through at the time, but damn it! This was the reason he could never understand how Mustang could go into a bar pick up a girl go home have sex and the two would be on their way and possibly never see each other again. Oh he got the basic concept that at least was obvious. But the not knowing…he wasn't sure he could handle that.
Before he knew it though, he was at the station handing over money for his ticket and making his way through the crowd to get on the train, taking a seat closer to the back so he could see everything. It was going to be a long ride and he would have plenty of time to think about what he wanted to say to her when he got back. But as he leaned back in the seat he realized something he hadn't thought about. Al and Winry, he hadn't called them to let them know he was coming home. As the train whistle sounded he figured it was for the best, he was there on business after all. He doubted he would have time to visit.
Sighing he looked out the window watching as last minute people hurried to get on, some hugging and kissing loved ones good bye. The train lurched, the wheels starting to grind forward and a smile curled his lips as a thought crossed his mind. He couldn't help but wonder if things worked out once he got back would Fe follow him to the train station when he would have to leave and kiss him before he left in front of everyone present? He had never thought of something like that before, had never wanted to flaunt a relationship like that before, but now, it didn't seem so bad.
