Chapter 1: The Dream of Truth

It was the middle of the night. Ed awoke, finding himself drenched in sweat from a nightmare that he would just as soon wish to forget.

The only problem was, that this wasn't the first time he had this dream. With all his travels, he found it hard to accept what was going on. He turned to see the familiar body lying next to him.

It was still new, having Roy beside him. It only happened recently and with Al finally getting his body back, Ed was relieved to have the Colonel next to him. It made him forget about the nightmares and focus on the man who he had been in love with for years. His dream of being with Mustang was now a reality. It seemed like a dream when Roy finally told Ed of his feelings. Not that Ed was surprised in any way; he already had some suspicions of this earlier. Roy did tend to have him go on many missions and always greeted Ed the same way when he returned. Not to mention all of the 'short' jokes he made just to get Ed flustered.

Roy stirred slightly, making Ed break his train of thought. He looked at how beautiful Roy looked while he was sleeping. He smiled slightly, wishing this feeling would never go away. Eventually, he let sleep claim him once again and he snuggled closer to Roy.

"I hope this never ends Roy. I want us to stay like this forever." Ed said with a sleepy yawn.

Ed woke up again, this time to an alarm. He rolled over only to find an empty space next to him. He then listened intently, when he heard the shower going he knew where Roy had gone off to. He rose and put on some clothes and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast and coffee for the Colonel.

A few minutes passed and Mustang emerged from the bedroom in his oh so familiar uniform. He sat down at the table, where Ed promptly placed his coffee and eggs in front of him. Sitting in his own chair, he started at his meal silently, only pausing to look at his lover and see if he was enjoying the meal Ed had made. Sure enough, Roy was very happy and gave a very happy kiss after the meal was finished.

"Be careful, you may just start something here Colonel." Said Edward playfully.

"So what if I do? I won't be demoting myself for being a little late, now will I?" Roy replied in a sultry voice.

{Have I forgotten to mention that Roy is the Fuhrer? Ed is the only one who gets to call Mustang Colonel anymore, for obvious reasons. Also, Ed is now living with him (if you didn't already guess) and the two have been together for a couple of months. Enjoy!}

"I'd rather not get a call from Hawkeye about how I should stop delaying you in the morning. She's very scary when she's mad you know."

"I know only too well, my little alchemist." Roy answered with a smirk.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU CAN'T SEE HIM BECAUSE HE'S SHORTER THAN FRESHLY CUT GRASS?" Ed yelled back.

This was responded by a quick kiss from Mustang onto Ed's rapidly reddening cheek. "I surely said nothing of the sort, but if you insist on getting so riled up, then I deserve another kiss." He batted his eyes playfully, using one of his best 'come hither' looks on Edward.

"For once, I couldn't agree more wit-" Ed got cut off as Roy leaned in closely against him and gave him a deep kiss that ended too soon in his opinion. But he did have work and Hawkeye was always finding ways to get him to do some form of paperwork at the office. He figured that if he didn't get it over with now, he'd have twice as much tomorrow. This would put a wrench in his plans to….. Never mind, you'll find out in due time.

"Now I must really be going. I brought home some new books for you last night so you can keep busy while I'm gone." Roy said to the severely disappointed man still sitting at the kitchen table. "If you think of something you need, just call and I'll bring it home when I can. Try not to be too bored, okay Ed?"

Ed responded with a slight shrug and gave Roy one more kiss before letting him leave for the office. As soon as the door was closed, he started to clean up and do the dishes.

"No matter how many times we do this, it never ceases to amaze me how much I love you Roy." Ed said to himself. Afterwords, he went in search of the new alchemy books that Mustang had brought home for him and settled down to read.
