"Winry, STOP." Ed hastily adjusted his leg so it was out of reach of the automail mechanic's ruthless scrutiny.
"Ed, you should be more careful on these assignments, this is just ridiculous." Her brow furrowed as she noticed the leg was damaged near the port. Ugh. He was lucky that she had a spare of that particular part.
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT EVERYONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME ALL THE TIME!" Ed was laying on his bed back in Resembol, feisty and short-tempered as ever.
Even after giving up his alchemy, Ed seemed to have a knack for finding trouble. This wasn't the first time he had wound up back in bed needing maintenance since he took off to explore Creta 2 years ago. He was never one to run from a confrontation, much to his mechanic's chagrin.
"Did you find some of the answers you were looking for?" She asked almost too sweetly, hoping to distract him while she did some of the more-ehrm-painful procedures.
His face lit up at the mere mention of his research and he began to ramble on. "Yes! Creta was incredible, they have so many more libraries out there, I found ancient texts that predate anything we have here in Amestris. I can't wait til I can talk to Al again about how his research on Alkhestry is - ow! WINRY!"
She gave him a mischievous smile as she just finished re-attaching the nerves. Sometimes it was better to catch Ed unaware.
Roy was in his office for once with some downtime, armed with a glass of scotch in his hand. The past 2 years could only be described as hectic. Him and his team had researched all they could about Ishvalla. Roy in particular spending night after night studying Ishvallan culture and history. He had dedicated much of his time down south working more hands on with the rebuilding, but he had been back at his office for some time now, taking on a more formal role. Securing funding, making allies,and keeping up appearances in general.
Oh and of course doing the paperwork.
He let his mind wander to the date he had planned later in the day. Some sweet but completely insipid girl named Lily. He envisioned how the evening would progress, after dinner offering her some wine back at his place. Maybe just a few sips before he carried her up the stairs and into his bed, and then..
"Roy." Riza's voice permeated his daydream.
Mustang blinked, showing no signs that he had been doing anything other than contemplating his paperwork. Wait when had she slipped in his office?
"Ah Riza, do I have some more phone calls or meetings planned for today?" He scrunched up his face hoping that her answer wouldn't be a large stack of paperwork, it was almost 6 o'clock for God's sake.
"Winry called earlier and let me know that Ed is back in Resembol for now." She had a look of amusement on her face.
"Oh splendid, is he destroying buildings again? Alchemy or not I'm sure he'd find a way to put a dent in my budget." Roy groaned with mock annoyance.
"She actually said Ed was on his way to Central and should be here by tomorrow. He wants to talk to you." Riza had more than amusement on her face now, a grin had spread from ear to ear, quite uncommon on his usual stoic Lieutenant.
Roy winced and wondered what obscenities fullmetal would shout at him THIS time. With a smirk he realized Ed would have to change his title from Colonel to General Bastard.
"Did she mention what he wanted to speak about?" Roy honestly couldn't think of a situation in which Ed would seek him out.
"Not particularly, but I was thinking we could have a welcome back to Central party for him."
Roy blinked. Did Hawkeye really just suggest they throw Edward Elric a... party? Who was this woman.
"I don't suppose why not..." He answered, completely unable to hide the confusion from his voice.
"Great, I'll get supplies out of the budget and we'll throw him one tomorrow night!" She said, now seeming excited over the prospect. "Oh and sir would you mind hosting?"
Now Mustang's jaw when slack. When did his house become the party house for EDWARD ELRIC? The kid could barely stand him, well that wasn't necessarily true, they had made leaps and bounds to having an "almost-friends" type of thing. But they were still a long ways off of being best buddies.
But he had no excuse to get out of it. His house was the biggest and was centrally located, his staff all knew how to get there, and well...it couldn't be that bad right?
"As long as fullmetal doesn't destroy it doing God knows what I wouldn't be opposed." He muttered with a glare at Hawkeye.
"I'll make sure he knows the "no destruction" rule." She smiled as she quickly made her exit before he could revoke his offer.
Roy grimaced, he would have to clean up the place as to not give fullmetal any ammunition against him. It'd certainly been a long time since he'd seen Ed. He was surprised to find that he felt a little excitement over it. Hmm. Well that kid certainly did know how to bring excitement to a place, that's for sure.
Turning back to the window and packing his briefcase he couldn't help but hearing Havoc's distinctive voice, "WOOHOO! Party at Mustang's!"
Another wince. Maybe he didn't need to worry about Ed being the one destroying his place during this party.
Back at his house, Roy threw open his closet and began picking out an outfit for his date with Lily. She was a socialite in Central, whatever that meant. Probably just a fancy word for living off daddy's money. But wow was she an attractive girl. He found a white button down shirt that he decided to pair with black slacks. Turning to the mirror he smirked at his own reflection.
It was an objective fact that Roy was a good-looking man, and being the rank of a General at his age made him one of the most eligible bachelors of Central. Hell probably Amestris. He was constantly entertained by his numerous dates, seeing the town always with an attractive woman on his arm. That he always, always, brought back to his bed.
Lily would be no different.
Ready, he got in his car and went to pickup his date.
He was on his second glass of wine and even that did nothing to ease the pain of Lily's nonstop chatter. They were nearing the end of the evening and all he wanted was for her to shut. up. She talked of nothing but the most trivial bullshit one could possibly imagine. All he had to do was nod and smile at the right moments. The only saving grace Lily had was her low cut blouse that gave him a tempting view of her cleavage, complemented by a long gold necklace.
Finally, FINALLY, they were ready to leave. He gave his date an easy smile offering her his arm as they left the restaurant. Helping her into the car, he smoothly suggested she continue the evening out with him at his place.
"Roy that sounds like a marvelous idea. I've had such a wonderful time with you this evening." She smiled and batted her lashes.
"I couldn't agree more." He lied through his teeth flashing her a dazzling smile.
Roy had Lily on her back soon afterwards, groping her breasts through her silk blouse as he grinded on top of her. Yes, he could put up with a few hours of torture if this was his reward in return. He pulled off her skirt in one fluid motion and spread her thighs further to reveal her thin and matching silk panties. He enjoyed her moans and knew what was coming next. When suddenly he heard a sound didn't hear too often.
"Was that a knock on your door?" Lily sat up confused, picking up her blouse to cover herself.
"I'm sure they'll go away" Roy said in a low and husky voice, with a bite on her neck.
But the knocking did not stop.
"Roy you should see who it is at least." Lily pouted.
Mustang got up throwing on his unbuttoned shirt and stomped toward the door. Without even looking he threw it open and could barely withhold his gasp of surprise.
"Hey bastard, hope I didn't catch you at a bad time."
Edward Elric was back in town.
