The 25 days of Christmas

December 1

Roy waited patiently for the young alchemist. He knew the boy would show up late, but he couldn't help but wonder what was taking him so long. He rapped his long fingers on his desk as he relaxed in his leather chair. He sighed. Where are you?

A blonde boy walked into the main office area. The other officers looked up. In the boy's hands were the usual clasped envelopes that practically read 'PAPERWORK' across there bulging surfaces. Thought the odd package in the boy's left hand caught everyone's attention. The boy set the envelopes on Hawkeye's desk.

"Thank you Fullmetal," she gave him a kind smile. Kind or knowing? The boy stared at her for a moment before he waved off the suggestion. He turned to the door at the back of the main room. With a sigh, he walked over to it, knocked (knock knock) and opened it.

The raven haired man looked up as he straitened himself out, trying to look as if he had been like that all morning.

"You don't have to pretend you were waiting like that. I don't care if you were slouching," the blond set the package down on the desk. Roy watched the boy as he sat on the arm of the leather couch he kept in his office.

"Oh, do I? You know Edward you could sit on it properly," Roy remembered once when the boy had asked about the couch.

"Why do you have a couch in here?" the boy of 12 asked him.

"I have it here to create a sense of ease," Roy smirked.

"Yeah right! You have it in here so you can slack off right? Right?" the young Ed was pouting at Roy as he was assigned his next mission…

"No I don't think I will," Ed gave Roy his cocky little grin. That grin always made Roy mad, but at the same time made him like the kid that much more.

Roy sighed as he reached for the package. He opened it. "Hmm?" Roy looked to the boy. Ed was now laying on the couch waiting to get another 'you screwed up with…" speech. Ed was comfortably curled up with his head on the arm rest that he was just sitting on a minute ago. Roy chuckled, a deep chesty laugh, that made Ed blush lightly wondering what the Colonel had planed for him.

Roy stood up walking over to the couch and its comfy inhabitant, he dropped a partially opened box on the blond teen's stomach. Ed let out his breath. Staring up at Roy with a murderous look. "What the heck was that for?!"

"Open it and you'll see," Roy stood there, clearly not moving anytime soon.

Ed pulled the flaps of the box back, peeking inside. He blinked when he saw it. A jacket similar to the red one he always wore, with one major difference. The hood was trimmed with a faux fur, same with the edging on the sleeves. The interior was lined with a soft fleece that made Ed want to put it on right then and there, but…

"What's this for?" he asked calmly, looking up at Roy.

"I thought you could use a proper jacket. I don't need you getting a cold before the holidays," Roy gave the boy a warm smile. It was a kind smile, but it was also a tender smile, the kind that you give to someone you really care about.

Ed blinked, "Oh, um…" He blushed trying to find the right words.

"Do you like it?" Roy didn't stop smiling.

That smile…Ed looked down at the coat again, "Yes, um…Thank you."

"I'm glad you like it," Roy walked over to his desk. He pulled a small envelope from the desk drawer. "Ed?"

"Yeah?" the teen kept staring at his jacket.

"Would you like to come with me to that mew movie premier?" Roy kept his face turned away from the boy, as he blushed.

"That sounds great," the blond sat up looking over at Roy.

Roy turned to look at the boy. "Really? I mean- If you don't want to …" Roy blushed at his stumbling.

"No that sounds good," Ed grinned. Roy was thoroughly pleased. About an hour of talking led them to the end of their day at work.

The others had gone. Ed slipped his hand in Roy's as they walked out of the building together. They both happily watched the movie.

Until the next day.

Please R&R
