Prologue

"Oh Roy," she grinned. "I—I'm going to miss you."

The black haired man rolled his eyes in an over exaggerated manner. "It's not like you're going to be gone forever." He put a hand on her head. "Sis, it's just a mission. You'll be back."

"But Brother," she whined. Adrian looked like a shorter female version for Roy Mustang. The looked the same in all other aspects—even their hair length was the same since Adrian had to cut it for military purposes. "It's going to be a long mission."

He smiled, watching as she tugged nervously at the ends of her fingerless gloves. He knew what would cheer her up. His sister had been itching to meet the members of his team for quite some time. "Leave now, you'll be back before you know it. Maybe I'll introduce you around headquarters."

Adrian caught his drift. She brightened visibly, and grinned. "Alright."

"That's more like it," he said in a jovial voice, one that the woman knew was concealing his nerves. They were in a war—it would be a fool's action to not worry about loved ones brought into action.

"I'll see you when I get back." Her smile softened, and he reflected the action. They shook hands, a military tradition, and within a second, Roy had pulled her into a hug.

"Goodbye Adrian."

X—X—X

Edward Elric had never been one to follow military protocol. As matter of fact, he really didn't want to know anything about to what his duties were at an important ceremony like this. Yet he was still at the event, standing next to his brother. They'd restored the younger Elric's body, but Ed still had metal appendages. It wasn't that he didn't want a fully human body, but those limbs meant so much. He couldn't lose them without losing his mind.

Al's human body—to Ed's agitation—was almost a head and a half taller than him. Obviously he'd gotten some genes from Hohenheim, unlike smaller Ed. His age was correct, both physically and mentally, something Ed was grateful for. And something even better about the whole thing? The two had managed to perform the action without taking lives. After some deep research on human transmutation, the transfer had been easy. It was still considered as a highly confidential military action, and not many knew the details of the action.

"There he is," Al pointed excitedly. Both of the Elric brothers wore military uniforms—although Ed's was a bit big despite being one of the smallest sizes the male uniform came in.

"Al," Edward hissed. "I can see him. You don't need to point." Ed knew what his brother was trying to do. If he couldn't make him happy by fixing his body, then he would try something else. Like set him up in a romantic relation. Al was a sap.

But it was the fact that Alphonse was trying to set him up with a man he'd never had, and never would have feelings for. Al was convinced that Ed had a crush on Roy Mustang. He couldn't figure out why Al had picked the colonel, nor where'd he'd come under the conclusion that Ed liked men.

'I like girls,' he thought angrily. To reinforce the thought, he glanced over at the nearest woman officer. His mouth twitched a bit.

Looking back up at Roy, he blinked in surprise. Was that a woman on his arm? He felt angry as she laughed. How was it that the Flame Alchemist always got the girls, but the Fullmetal Alchemist couldn't seem to attract one?

He fumed when they walked passed, the woman's head bowed and Roy's raised in laughter.

X—X—X

Roy pulled his sister close. In the hall, their reunion had been laughter. But as the siblings made a quick exit, the younger found herself crying with a smile.

"I told you it was going to be a long mission!"

He chuckled softly. "You know, I didn't expect it to last more than a year."

She blinked. "You what? I spent five years in the middle of Ishbal, finding information. Information. You know how slow of a process that can be. And you didn't think it was going to take a long time?"

"Well—"

"You're a silly big Brother. But you better keep your promise."

He smirked. "Which one?"

"The one where you introduce me to your military friends." She put a strong emphasis on the word 'friends' and elbowed him in the side slightly."

"Your hair has gotten longer," he noted, clearly avoiding the subject to annoy her. And surely it had, it now went down to her lower back.

"Roy!"

She never used his regular name. It was always 'Brother'. Now he knew that she was definitely annoyed. That was enough for him. "Stop. Go be with your team now. I'll bring you around tomorrow."

"Alright," she winked and turned on her heel (in those shoes—he didn't understand how) back to the hall. Roy Mustang decided to get some fresh air, and a walk. That girl was starting to meddle already.

That's the first bit! Please review!
