Hi! This is my first um... how should I say this... my first yaoi fanfic. But I just love the RoyxEd pairing! XD so anyways. I think this is completely useless but...

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Full Metal Alchemist characters.

Ed was calmly filling out forms and papers as he sat at his desk. A few days ago, Edward Elric, the great Full Metal Alchemist, had just became Colonel as the same as Roy Mustang, the military's all-knowing Flame Alchemist, had became Major General.

It was all good for Edward; his brother was back to normal, he had a home, and he was enjoying himself at the military. Nothing could go wrong at that day... or so he thought.

Because of Ed's rank, he was now able to access information resources and such. He soon found out that strang sightings of electricity had been popping here and there, Ed had an idea that it was an transmutation reaction. He also found out the odd transmutations have gone around Central, missing cats and other pets, along with people; including one prisoner.

Ed, like Roy, had semi-desk work and semi-roaming around missions. It gave him time to relax since he used to always walk across desserts and alleyways and sometimes things that he did not want to step on.

Today, Ed was just doing his usual paperwork until the door opened. Ed looked up from his work and saw Roy leaning against the door frame. "Hey, Full Metal."

"What do you want, Mustang?" said Ed, who turned back to his paperwork.

"Just seeing how our little alchemist was doing."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT NOT EVEN AN PARACITES CAN SEE!"

"I think you know the answer to that, Full Metal." Ed was fuming, even steam was boiling out of his head. He tried his best to calm down, but he was only capable to stay at a level of anger for the urge to smack someone.

"What... did you come here for... seriously" Ed said trying not shake his voice from the fury within him.

"I have a mission. Along with you."

"ME? Why me?"

"Because you are a young alchemist, of the age 18, that is of pretty high rank. Now, sit down and let me tell you about the mission." Without a word, Edward hesitated a bit before sitting on the couch that was located in his office.

"We are going to figure out the mystery of the transmutations. We were ordered to look for the stranger that was responsible for the missing animals and people."

"But where are we going to look? The stranger was in Central, but he was seen throughout the whole city." Roy scratched his chin in thought, analyzing some sort of plan in his mind.

"Do you have a map of Central?"

"Yeah. I'll go get it." Ed looked around for the map, but it wasn't in sight. He looked in drawers, the tables, the floor, under the couch, but no where was the map to be seen.

He got pretty frustrated, thinking over and over again Map. Map. Map... Where is that map? THE STUPID MAP! "OH HERE IT IS!"

Ed found the map under a mound of papers and it was right at the bottom. Without thinking he tugged at it and he did not notice the paper mountain sway.

"Hey, Edward, watch out. The papers are-"

"I found the map! Finally! So why do we need the- HOLY CRAP!" There was a great crash following after as papers flew everywhere, but mainly piling over Ed, who was having a pretty hard time to breathe. Roy just laughed at Ed's struggle.

Moments later, Roy had been marking off where the culprit had gone to by using a marker to dot the places and then connecting them to places that he struck next. After he was finished, Ed immediately noticed something.

"Here! Where all the lines meet! All of them cross each other right at the center. He probably has to go to one place to another by going across this place."

"Ok. So today at 1 A.M., we are going to go to this spot. Meet me in my office." They both nodded and got up from the couch.

Ed started to think 1 A.M... That's a good time to figure out if he is there or not. It just might be the place that he stays. Heck, either way, if he is there we can catch him, if not then we can check out the place.

Ed headed toward his desk while Roy went for the door. Before Roy left, Ed spoke.

"Oh and Major General."

"Yes?"

"You have a smutch of marker on your cheek." He said pointing to his own cheek.

Roy, who was oblivious to where the smudge was, rubbed different places on both his cheeks. "Where?" Somehow, the Flame Alchemist had his marker touch his skin when thinking and putting his fingers, along with his marker, on his chin.

Ed took a tissue from his desk and went up to Roy. "Right here." He tried to reach Roy's face, not that he couldn't reach it, but just so they were head level so that he could get a better look.

Unfortunately, Roy was much taller than Ed and Ed was practically hanging on his neck, trying to get the ink off. "Hold still."

Ed got some ink off, but from the weight, in front of Roy, made him lose his balance and topple forward.

At this point, Ed was underneath Roy, back flat on the ground. Roy had his hands next to Ed's head to hold him up and they were both in front of each other's faces.

Ed blushed pink from the sudden fall of Roy on him and blinked several times. After a moment and delayed reaction, "AUH! GET OFF OF ME!"

Roy quickly went to his feet and looked down at the blonde that was still laying on the floor, both hands next to his head with his palms facing up. His head was slightly tilted toward his left hand and his top was lifted up a bit, exposing part of his well-toned stomach. One of his legs were slightly bent on its side and the other was straight on the floor, but they were spread out very widely.

Roy blushed a bit from the way Ed was positioned and laying, but no one noticed.

Ed got up and patted off dirt from his blue military uniform. "I think I will wear my old red coat and black clothes so that my uniform won't get dirty."

Roy nodded before leaving. Ed looked back at his work that was now all over the floor and then the clock. I have about five hours before I have to get ready. I'll waste my time by cleaning this place up, but first I have to call Al.

He picked up the phone on his desk and dialed his house number. A kind, gentle voice answered, "Hello? Alphonse Elric speaking."

"Hey, Al. I am not going to be home tonight because I have a mission. I am only briefly coming to change."

"Oh. Brother, are you going to be alright? Do you need any food? Anything?"

"I'll be fine, Al. Just stay at home and relax. You did enough chores all day. Go buy a cat or something."

"Really? Thank you, brother! Have a safe trip, ok." Al always wanted a pet since he loved animals, but he was not able to carry one around since they used to travel around and his brother said that it was too much trouble to keep when the cat was most likely to die during the traveling and get in the way.

"See ya, Al." Ed hung up and smiled a bit from the fact that Al was becoming happy. He turned around and sighed as he kneeled to the floor to orangize his unorganized papers.

1:00 A.M.

Ed finished his work and was dressed in his leather black pants, black sleeve-cut shirt, black jacket, and red coat. He also had his oversided, leather-strapped boots on. He placed on his gloves and headed to Roy's office.

He stood in front of the office door and turned the knob. "Major General, are you ready?"

Roy was sitting at his desk looking at the previous map that was used earlier. "So the place is near this building. Where ever the person is hiding, it is most likely at the center of Central."

"Then, let's go!" Ed turned toward the empty corridor and Roy rolled up the map and placed on his gloves. They both went out of HQ and headed toward the middle of Central.

Toward Central's Center

"So, where is the place's exact location supposed to be?"

"Well, in the map it is next to the bank and in the center of a two way crossing street."

Ed was confused. If it wasn't a building, then where was the culprit hiding. His thoughts stopped when he felt his feet clang on something hard on the ground. He looked down and then had a bright idea.

"Here! The thief could be hiding in the sewers! It is probably the last place that people will expect and it is easy to grab animals."

Roy nodded and went over to the circular plate. He dug his fingers through the sides as Ed did. They both pulled the plate off and placed it next to the hole.

Ed just jumped right in and then there was a thud. "It's ok, but it's dark and it smells bad, too."

Roy jumped right ahead and landed on his feet, next to Edward. Which direction should we go?

Roy suddenly noticed that the left side of the sewer was brighter than the right. He grabbed Ed's wrist and pulled him over to the left.

"Hey, what are you-"

"Shhh. The place should be near here."

They both walked in the mucky sewer sides and the water draining next to them. They saw another tunnel, but it was unusual. It had a light peeking out of some kind of door.

"That should be it." Ed said in a hushed voice. They both sneaked quietly toward the light and then Ed announced, "This door was transmutated here to hide something. There is a great depression on the walls since it was used to back the door."

Roy pushed the door open and found that there were cages of creatures; chimeras. They all looked mutated and not very pleasant.

"These... things... Roy can you please burn them?" Ed couldn't stand seeing chimeras. From the inciddent of when he was 12, still lingered in his mind. Nina...

Roy quickly snapped and flames filled the room. It was soon extinguished since everything was metal or concrete.

"Well, it was a long time since we last met." A hoarse raspy voice came behind the two. They turned around to find the transmutated chimera, Shou Tucker.

"So when they said a prisoner was missing..."

"they meant Shou Tucker." Roy finished. They were only told that one of the prisoners of Central prison was missing, they had never been mentioned about the name of the person.

Tucker was supposed to be executed for transmutating his dog and daughter but he revived himself by transmutating himself.

"You know, I would like to do some tests as well, since you have burnt all of the failures."

Ed and Roy backed away, but Ed had stumbled on a cage and fell backwards, dragging Roy with him since he reached up to grab something.

Ed looked down on the ground that he was sitting on and then noticed that the ground had a transmutation circle on it. He paniced and frantically looked for random places, not really caring that Roy was watching him act like an idiot.

He saw a small table with water on and took the glass. He spilt the water on the circle and started to smudge off the markings. Roy on the other hand complained.

"Idiot! I can't attack because my gloves are wet!"

"THAT ISN'T THE PROBLEM HERE!" Before Ed knew it, blinding white light came from the circle. He covered his eyes and the two felt something soft land on them.

Ed screamed as he felt something lodge into his body and then stretch out. Roy had been covering his eyes since the if he opened them, he would go blind. Roy didn't want Ed to open his eyes so he felt for Ed next to him and embraced him.

Ed's head against Roy's chest. Ed felt safe and embraced Roy as well. Ed nuzzling against Roy, made the older man blush a bit, but he grabbed him tighter.

The light faded and Ed's face was still in Roy's chest. Roy had his eyes shut and kept thinking I have to open my eyes. If I don't take this risk, then who will know when the light faded!

Roy lifted one eye up and then both as he realised that the light was gone. Tucker was on his knees, covering his eyes. "I'm blind! I can't see!"

"Ed, are you alr- ED! YOU HAVE CAT EARS! AND A TAIL!"

Ed looked up from Roy's chest. "What? Roy! You have ears!"

Roy's ears were the same color as his hair. It was dog ears, but since it was not floppy yet pointed, but turned upside down, it looked like cat ears facing downward. Roy also had a somewhat, cuter face. It seemed so much like before but something was different.

Ed, on the other hand, had cat ears and tail. His ears were the color of golden brown fur, but his actual hair had became lighter, like very pale creamy yellow. His tail was slender like a cat and it was the pale color of yellow, just like his head hair. His eyes were the same color as before.

Roy examined Ed's face, "Ed... Your eyes are bigger and your mouth is smaller." The new look, made Ed look cuter. He looked so innocent that Roy just wanted to hug him even more. "Ed, we have to get out of here."

"But what about Tucker-"

"Tucker is already suffering from blindness and he will die soon. We will tell the others for them to take care of him."

Ed ran off with Roy following. When they were near the place that they had started from, Ed questioned something. "What do we do with our ears and my tail?"

"Your tail is already hidden from your red coat. You have your hood to cover your ears." Roy took out a hat from inside his uniform. "I have the military hat with me."

"Why do you have that?"

"Just in case, I needed to hide my face." Mustang placed on the hat on his head and part of his face was hidden, most importantlyhis ears.

The two climbed up the ladder, inspecting the area above before climbing out. Once on the surface, they ran off back to HQ, since it was the only place they could think this over.

They reached military headquarters and they barged into Roy's office. Ed then thought something We should go to the bathroom.

Before Ed talked, Roy spoke first. "AUGH! THE PLACE IS PITCH BLACK!"

The curtains were closed on the windows and no light was lit in the room. To Ed's confusion, he saw clearly as if it were day. "Can I see in the dark? Or are you just color blind or something?"

Ed grabbed Roy's wrist and ran to the door, guiding Roy so he wouldn't bump into anything. They ran toward the bathroom and looked at the mirror.

"Oh. My. God." Ed was stunned at his figure; catears on his head, a trail, paler head hair, rounder eyes, smaller mouth... This was all just a dream. He couldn't believe it. And his senses were stronger, too. That was just odd.

"Ok. I just look like an idiot." Roy didn't change at all except for the fact that he had cat-like (facing-down) dog ears and stronger senses.

"Major General?"

"What?"

"Are you colorblind?"

"No. I still have my normal eyesight."

"Oh." Ed looked down with a worried face.

"What's wrong? Well, other than this." Roy was a bit concerned to see Edward Elric, the loudmouth alchemist, quiet.

"What will Al think?"
