I haven't put a story up here in ages. I've started some, but haven't finished any of them yet. And on top of that I've still many more idea's, which may seem more interesting at a point in the near future. So to prevent I'll abandon my half-finished work again and again, I've decided to put a new story on here... When people read my stories and tell me what they think about it, it's more likely I'll finish it :P

Summary: Ed and Roy are having a secret relationship. When two certain blondes find out about this they are plotting revenge.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Now?"

"Yes." Edward answered. "Winry is only in Central until tomorrow so now's the perfect chance. And Al… I just can't keep him in the dark any longer."

"But what happened to keeping it our secret?" the man sighed, but slid a bit closer to the shorter boy nonetheless and wrapped an arm around his waist.

"I know Roy, but it's just them, and I think they deserve to know. And besides, the longer we wait, the bigger the chance they'll find out for themselves. And we wouldn't want a repeat of what happened yesterday, now would we?" he smiled cutely at his lover and gave him a small peck on his nose.

"I guess so." Roy finally gave in. "You want me to come with you?"

"No, I'll manage." Ed stood up, gave Roy a last peck on the lips and left his house.

On his way to his and Al's apartment he started to think. What was he going to say to them? Would they understand? Of course, he told himself. Al was his brother, he would accept him. And Winry, they'd known each other their whole life. She would understand. Reaching his apartment he turned the key and went inside, to find only Winry there, messing around with some mechanical things as usual.

"Hi Ed." She greeted him.

"Where's Al?" he asked.

"I think he went to the library, I don't know when he'll be back." She said. "Is there something the matter?" a slightly worried expression came over her face.

"No, it's nothing." He said. Then, reconsidering the situation he said "Or actually yes. There is something." He would first tell Winry, he decided. It would be better to tell them separate anyway. He sat down on the couch, motioning Winry to sit down next to him.

"What's wrong?" Winry asked.

Ed shook his head, letting out a rather nervous laugh. "Wrong? There's nothing wrong. It's just…" he paused for a moment, trying to figure out the right words to say.

"Ed, you're really starting to get me worried now. Just tell me what's going on, please."

Ed nodded, gathered all of his courage and took a deep breath. This was it, no turning back now.

"Listen Winry." He started. "There's something I need to tell you. It's been going on for a while now, and I don't think I can handle it any longer to keep it a secret from you. I mean, you're my friend. I think you have the right to know." Winry was getting a bit restless while he continued talking, her hands fumbling with the wrench she practically took everywhere. A small expectant smile had appeared on her face. It was almost as if she was excited about something. "I'm sorry." Ed apologized. "I know I'm just talking, and not getting to what I actually want to say. But… I don't know… it's difficult. I've known it for months now, but I still can't seem to say it out loud." Winry was getting more and more excited with each passing second. She put a comforting hand on his shoulder and smiled kindly at him.

"It's okay Ed." She assured him. "Just take a few seconds to get your words right and then tell me."

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks.' He thought for a while and swallowed hard.

"Winry…" he tried again.

"Yes?"

"I… I-I'm…" Shit. His mouth refused to speak those few simple, yet difficult words. "I'm gay, damn it!" he finally managed to blurt out. He faced the floor while saying that, not daring to look at Winry. She didn't say anything. When he finally looked up, he saw her smile had completely vanished, replaced by an expression of horror and disbelief. A single tear ran down her cheek. When their eyes met, she jumped up, hit him with her wrench, sending him to the floor and stormed out of the room.

"Winry, wait!" Ed got up and stumbled after her, but stopped when he saw who was standing in the doorway. Through the metal it was hard to see a facial expression, but Ed swore he wore a look similar to Winry's on his non-existent face.

"I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't have listened."

"Alphonse…"

They sat in silence for a long time, before Edward finally found the courage to speak.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked quietly. "Y-you're disgusted with me, aren't you?"

Alphonse quickly looked up and started to protest. "No brother, it's nothing like that. It's just kind of a shock." He admitted. "I always thought you liked Winry."

"Yeah, I thought so too. Until two months ago, that is. I can't believe it's been so long already."

"So you do have a boyfriend?" it was more of a statement than a question, really. Edward reluctantly nodded, a bright blush appearing on his face.

"Well, who is he? Do I know him?"

"It's… Roy."

Alphonse gasped. "No way! The colonel?" though after the first shock had passed, Alphonse started to laugh.

"What's so funny?!"

"I'm sorry brother. It's just that after all this time saying you hate the guy, he's the one you end up with."

Edward let out a little snicker himself. "Yeah, I guess it's kind of ironic. Though I'm really glad you understand Al."

"Of course I do. I'm you brother."

"Thanks Al, that means a lot to me." Ed smiled at his brother. "What'd you recon I should do about Winry?"

"Let her calm down a bit, then go talk to her. Tell her how you feel. I'm sure she'll understand."

"I hope so." Edward stood up and made his way to the door. "I better go now. Roy's waiting for me." When he reached the door he remembered something and turned around. "Oh, and Al, can you please keep this a secret? The only people that know about it are you, Winry and Riza."

"Riza?" Alphonse asked confused.

"Yeah, she kinda walked in on us and emptied her gun at Mustang for trying to rape me." He chuckled at the memory, though at the time it had been far from funny.

Ed could almost see his brother blush through his armor. "Have you… you know?"

"No, of course not idiot. We haven't done anything like that!" Ed said, his face also turning red.

"Sorry, it's none of my business anyway."

"Don't worry about it." Ed flashed a last smile at his brother and left their apartment.

When Ed arrived at Roy's place, he was in the kitchen, making them some dinner. Edward walked up to him and hugged him from behind.

"How did it go?" Roy asked.

"Horrible." He mumbled into Roy's back. And Edward told him what happened with Winry.

Roy turned around in Edward's arms and returned the embrace. "Don't worry baby, I'm sure she just has to get used to the idea." He smirked. "After all, who would expect you of all people to be attracted to men?"

"Look who's talking. You're the biggest ladies man of Central."

"Was." Roy corrected him with a small smile. "She'll understand eventually Edward."

"That's what Al said."

"You should listen to your brother, he's a smart kid."

"I know."

Roy leaned down to capture his lovers lips in a passionate kiss before getting back to preparing dinner.

After dinner they cuddled together on the couch, watching a movie. Though soon they had no attention at all for the movie anymore. All they paid attention to was each other. They shared kisses, sweet words, and it wasn't long before Roy pushed Edward down on the couch and crawled on top of him, kissing him deeply. His hands wandered over his lovers body, feeling him through his clothes. His hands reached the hem of Ed's shirt and slipped under it, stoking the skin of Ed's stomach. Roy let his hands travel upwards, then appeared to change his mind and went down instead. Edward squirmed uncomfortably beneath him. He broke the kiss and pushed Roy off him.

"What's wrong?' Roy asked. 'Just relax. This'll make you feel better." He said, attempting to push Edward down again. But Ed was stubborn and didn't give in.

"I don't want this, Roy. I like you a lot, but I don't think I'm ready for this yet."

Roy sighed. "I understand." Though he couldn't completely hide the disappointment in his voice.

"I'm sorry." Ed said, ashamed of his doubts.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. I'll wait as long as I have to and make our first time something special. I'm satisfied with just having you by my side until then."

It were words like those that surprised Edward at times. When they were alone the colonel seemed to be a completely different person. He was sweet and caring instead of sarcastic and rude. Ed just smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

Well, I hope you like. Please leave me a review to tell me what you think :)
