Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. Please don't remind me!

Summary: All was going good until the whole crashed upon them both. Will they be able to pick up the pieces or is it too late to mend what has been broken?

A/N: There are a few things that I should point out. Like this is a Roy/Ed story, and that's about it. This story is rated M for language more than anything else. And right now that's it. There will be more later I'm sure. XD

Oblivious

The few people that were left on the streets had to stop and turn their attention to the mansion that was emitting a myriad of sounds. The occasional flashes of red and blue light that beamed through the windows, only added to the show. Evidently, the people inside were not happy with each other.

"They have been at this for hours now." Mentioned one of the people bored enough to stick around and listen to the brawl.

"What are they fighting about?" another asked.

"Have now idea. I heard a few things about someone not being a man about things and I think one of them is dying."

"Do you know who lives here?"

"I'm pretty sure it's one of those State Alchemist."

"Yes, it is and I would advice you to move away from here as quickly as possible before he finds you eavesdropping." A pretty blonde woman that had just walked up informed them.

Most of them began to protest before noticing the military issued gun that hung on her hip.

"Go I said."

Quickly but reluctantly the area was uninhabited again.

"I sure hope they don't kill each other." Hawkeye said before turning and walking away quickly to avoid invading their privacy any longer.

CRASH!

"GOD DAMNIT, ED! Quit throwing shit at me!" Roy yelled.

"Your fucking lucky I'm throwing shit and not trying to transmute you into a pile of shit! BASTARD!" Ed screamed back.

"Be reasonable!"

"Screw you. You're an asshole! I'm tried of dealing with you and your fucking pride!"

"This has nothing to do with pride!"

"Then what the hell is it? What the hell are you so ashamed of! Is it the fact that you are in a serious relationship with a guy, or is it just the fact that its me that your with?"

"Your fucking kidding right!"

WHACK!

"Don't you tell me I'm kidding, you bastard!"

"For Christ sakes, Ed!"

"Explain something to me. Why are you still making dates and responding to all these love letters from all those women?"

"I'm not!"

"YOU lying bastard!"

SMACK!

"OWWWW! You are being a pain in my ass, Fullmetal!"

"You see, COLONEL, that's not exactly how it goes. If I'm not mistaken you're the pain in my ass!"

"Could you please calm down and be civil before you destroy my entire house!"

"This conversation stopped being civil 5 HRS. AGO!"

"FINE! Just stop being so childish then."

Ed finally dropped the plates that he was launching. He had heard enough.

"Is that what I am to you now, a child?" He said calmly.

"I didn't say that." Mustang said getting up from behind the couch he was using to dodge Ed's wraith.

"Is that why you hide the fact that we are together? Why you deny it when someone asks you about it?"

"I've never de…"

"Stop lying to me! I've heard you. On more then one occasion I have walked in on people talking about it. How you would once again deny having any outside relationship with me."

"Why didn't you say something?" Roy inquired.

"Because, I thought that whatever made you happy, made me happy, but, I'm done. I just can't sit here and not be hurt by it. You have been hiding this for 2 years, Roy. When we're away from work everything's normal. But when we are working you push me around worse then anyone else there.

"I'm sorry. If it was bothering you that bad you should of said something."

"You asshole, don't you try to push this off on me!"

"What the hell do you want me to say?"

"I don't want you to SAY anything. I want you to admit that the reason I'm being sent to Xing is because of you."

"You were the best qualified…"

"Bull shit you mother fucker! I read the whole fucking case! It's an amateur job! Black Hayate would be qualified for the job."

Roy stood there just looking at him. He knew that it was stupid to send such a high-ranking officer to report on something so minuscule. He didn't know why he had done it. He didn't know why he did half the things he did when it came to Ed. They just happened.

"I heard that earlier today Brenda was sent down to the infirmary for minor burns. Apparently he was teasing you about your so-called boyfriend. Hmmmm... How interesting that the one he was teasing you about was called to go clear across the world for a month."

Roy stood speechless for a minute. He knew everything that Ed was saying was true. He just didn't know what to say. He was defiantly not ashamed of Ed. He loved him, but he didn't know why he couldn't tell anyone. He wanted to but just couldn't.

"Talked to Havoc and Fury. They said that they had offered to go since it was such a small job. Why didn't you just send one of them?" Ed asked.

"I don't know. I was just thinking about you. I really don't know." Roy said.

"How flattering. I got the job because you were thinking about me." Ed said sarcastically.

"Look, lay off for a little bit ok. It's not like you're the only one here that has shit on their mind! You don't have to listen to them all day everyday,
'I wonder what's up with the Colonel and Fullmetal?'Do you think they set a date yet?'
'I wish that they'd hurry up and admit it so we can have a chance at the women.'You don't have to deal with people walking into your office to criticize you for dating someone that much younger then yourself. And, YOU DON'T HAVE TO RISK EVERYTHING YOU HAVE JUST TO FUCK SOME ILL TEMPERED LITTLE BOY WHO WANTS THE MOUNTIANS MOVED FOR HIM!"

As soon as he said it he wished to every god out there that he could retract his statement. He knew that was uncalled for and not true. There was no justifying what he had just said. He stood there looking at Ed with his eyes bulging out of his head. By the look in the Ed's eyes he knew he had screwed everything up. Ed just stood there staring at him. There was absolutely nothing in his eyes. Nothing. It was as if someone had sucked all that was Ed out of him within a few seconds. You could tell that he was very hurt. That is if "hurt" was even a good enough word for it.

"I... I'm so sorry." Roy tried to say but managed only a whisper.

Ed stood there. There was a twinkle in his eye and he faintly grinned.

"I'm going to make you the happiest person in the world right now." Ed said.

He then turn and headed for the door. Roy ran after him saying his name. Ed didn't turn around or respond to his name until he was standing outside the door.

"So, I guess this is where we say goodbye Colonel. I intend on helping you make your job much easier and also to do the best I can to rid HQ of all gossip that is going around about you and your personal life, which if it helps, I will no longer be a part of."

"Don't do this Edward. I didn't mean to say that. It wasn't true. I don't know what I was thinking." Roy pleaded.

"There was something that Al told me along time ago that never really sunk in until a few seconds ago. He told me that I should learn to control my temper because when people are mad they tend to say things that they would never say. Most of these things being the truth which if I might add hurts ten times worse then attaching auto mail." Ed half-heartedly laughed.

"Please come back in Ed. I didn't mean anything that I just said. Lets just talk this over."

Ed looked at him in a way that made Roy wish he was dead for making him hurt so badly but at the same time realize just how beautiful he really was. Roy's heart stopped the moment their eyes met.

"Goodnight to you Colonel. Also, I believe that since this is now a strictly professional relationship we should stick to our titles."

Ed then proceeded to salute then slowly turn and walk away.

Roy stood there stupefied. He could still see Ed face when he saluted. The twinkle in his eye was not there. It was rolling down his cheek.

Ok, so I tried to write something a little different then the other Roy/Ed stories out there. Please reveiw and tell me what you think. It helps me understand how to accommodate you guys better! The next chapter should be up shortly! --Marie
