Repost of Romance Part 2. It didn't feel right that this was posted with Part 1. Even though this story in a whole is two years old I have gone back to it and improved it. So if you have already read this story nothing has changed plot wise. But I wouldn't complain if you wanted to read it again.
xXxXxX
In a dark alley a scruffy man stood in wait, his target was the house on the other side of the street, just a bit further down the road. Every day and night for the past two weeks he had made notes, times and descriptions of people entering and leaving the building. The slightly taller, dark-haired man was his main interest. Leaving early and coming back late his routine was easy, every now and again his female assistant would accompany him, but that was a rare occasion. The blonde male on the other hand was a bit more unpredictable. He couldn't tell who he was and what importance he was. Maybe another assistant, but he was frequently entering and leaving. With this it was hard to find the right time for when he could put his plan into action. Glancing up from his notebook his full attention was drawn towards his target, returning for the evening along with the same blonde man.
Roy opened the door allowing Ed to enter first before swiftly following inside and locking it behind him. As soon as the latch confirmed the door was sealed Ed had already spun his superior round, pressed him against the door and began passionately kissing him. He swiftly swept the older man's coat of his shoulders followed by his uniform jacket and shirt, dumping them carelessly on the floor.
The blonde ran his hands down the now exposed flesh as they broke their embrace for some much-needed air.
"Damn you, I had to wait all day for this..." Fullmetal greedily pressed himself once more onto the Generals lips.
"Not my fault... as much as I wanted you in my office.." The general removed the younger man's coat and slowly popped each button of his shirt. "..bent over my desk" Gradually kissing from the exposed neck all the way down his perfectly toned torso. Stopping above the waistline of his pants, his tongue teased inside the band before slowly running back up over one of the hardened stubs on his chest, causing the younger man to gasp.
With the shirt finally off Roy stood up softly placed his lips to the others once more, before slowly walking him back further into the hallway. Their tongues hungrily intertwined, the more they tasted each other the more eager they became with one another. Pausing at the bottom of the stairs and pulling away from the passionate embraced they looked into each other's eyes filled with lust. Ed felt a tug at his pants as Roy's desperation for him showed, unbuttoning the top before gliding the zip free.
"Upstairs... now" The older man exhaled in the blondes ear, knowing how much it drove him crazy with desire.
The shabby looking man made a note of the time and proceeded to the phone box on the street corner. Picking up the receiver he dialed a number and waited for a response.
"Marcus, it's me, we start tomorrow.." He glances over to the direction of the General's house "...it's time we got answers."
He quickly replaces the receiver taking one last look at the house before walking away.

Roy's eyes stung cursing the bright morning sunlight as it filled the room. He looked to the young blonde sleeping soundly beside him, before glancing at the clock with a sigh.
"Ed.." He wrapped his arm around the other's abdomen before softly kissing his young lover, who moaned in protest before turning over and buried himself into the warm body beside him. "...Ed it's Monday, we need to get ready."
The blonde mumbled. "Can't we just take the day off?...What's in it for me?"
"A pay check." His superior thought for a moment and smirked. "An empty office?"
"Empty office... that's very tempting.." He looked up to his handsome, dark-haired superior "..and what will happen in this empty office?"
Roy pulled himself out of the younger man's hold and kissed him on the lips before climbing out from under the covers. "A lot of paperwork."
Ed sighed in protest, watching Roy walk naked into the bathroom before dragging himself out of the warm covers and into the cold air to find some clothing before trudging downstairs for coffee to at least wake him up properly.
With both men washed and fed The General grabbed both of their coats and took his seat in the back of the car. He wasn't going to risk the front passenger side again, not after what happened last time with Ed 'accidentally' missing the gear stick.
Unknown to the two military soldiers as their car sped away and round a corner another vehicle arrived around the back of the house. Making sure the coast was clear one of the occupiers leapt over the fence into the back garden of Mustang's home, pulling out a cloth bag and rolling it along the patio. Looking extensively at the lock he picked out two implements and began to pick the lock to the back door as the driver kept watch from the street. It didn't take long for the locksmith to finish, the man was highly skilled with years of experience. He pushed down the handle and opened the door slowly before signalling to the other.
The man in question quickly left the car and hastily jumped over the fence. Both men entered the elegant home of an Amestrian General and began their search rooting through the cupboards and drawers, scanning through any documents they could find to help them get the answers they were desperately searching for..

"This is what happens when I let you drive.." Maybe it was a bad idea of having your lover also be the chauffeur, especially if his name was Edward Elric.
"Look I said I was sorry..."
"Talking dirty and driving isn't your strong point.. one or the other Ed, you can't do both."
Ed looked over the seat and at the evident bulge Roy's lap. "Well from the looks of it I'd say it worked.." Well this was revenge for the seemingly enticing plan for the day before his hopes were dashed.
Roy glared and snatched the keys from Ed's hand. "That damage can come out of your next pay check."
The blonde began rummaging through his coat before glancing under the seat and in the glove box. "Shit, where is it?"
"What now Fullmetal?"
"I left that assignment back at the house, give me the keys I'll quickly go get it."
"You can walk back, you've damaged the car enough.." He climbs out of the back and walks round to the front to survey the damage.
Ed sighed, as he clambered out the driver's side and begins to walk back to the house.
Roy watches him until he's out of sight "Maybe I was a little harsh? But I can easily make it up to him." Proceeding to walk into Central headquarters he was very relieved his uniform was baggy enough to cover his situation.

"There's nothing here, not even a trace!"
"There has to be something!"
The two men rushed up the stairs and into the first bedroom with a single bed, the room looked like it hadn't been used in a while. The bed was stripped of its sheets, which were left in a pile on the floor. The locksmith opened the wardrobe which was filled with men's clothing, nothing of importance. The shabby man searched through the mess of socks in a drawer. He looked to the other and shook his head, this was the blonde haired man's room no doubt about that, so it was his lodger not assistant. In Roy's room they find a few folders hidden underneath a chest of drawers. The shabby man sat on the bed and began to scan through each page as the lockpicker searched the rest of the room. Opening the wardrobe he searched through the pockets of clothing checking anything he finds and pocketing any money he happened to come across.
"We are not to leave any proof we were here!"
"Relax boss, it's just lil bits of change, no sweat!" His attention was drawn to a small case hidden at the back. He flipped it open to reveal red fabric, lifting it up it revealed itself to be a coat. He looked to the design on the back "...Boss". He caught the man's attention and spun the coat round to show him the symbol emblazoned on the back.
The sound of the front door unlocking snapped them out of thought. The leader quickly replaced the papers to their previous position as the other quietly placed the coat back into the suitcase, quickly shoving it back into the wardrobe. He ran across the landing to the other bedroom as his boss hid behind the door in Mustang's. Both listened carefully as a man began muttering to himself as he slowly climbed the stairs.
"General bastard, using dirty tactics... It was only a scratch, not like I've hit a wall.."
Ed sighed as he walked into their bedroom, heading straight for the files of paper on the bedside table "Where is it..."
"One false move, and you get a bullet in your head.." A dark, menacing voice came from behind him.
Fullmetal smirked as he quickly spun round disarming the man in a second and claiming the gun for his own, changing the tables he points it to the trespasser's head. The trespasser himself moved in a half circle so that the blonde had his back to the door.
"You seem to have underestimated me, not the most wisest of people are you?...Mind you breaking into a General's house isn't wise anyw-"
He was struck on the back of his head hard and collapsed to the ground. "You alright?"
The lockpicker reclaimed his gun and nodded. "Yeah I'm good, thanks boss.." He looks down to the unconscious blonde. "What do we do with him?"
The man thought for a moment before walking back to the wardrobe retrieving the red cloak before returning to the unconscious man on the floor. Turning the blonde over he was carefully examining his features when something fell out of his trouser pocket.
He held the circular metallic object in one hand and the coat in the other before looking up at at his associate with a smirk. "We take him with us.."
