I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, sadly. If I did, Envy would adore Edward, Lust and G wouldn't have been made, and Ed & Roy would be a cute couple, along with Whinry and Al3.

OK! I'm kinda new to RoyxEd writing, so give me a break. :\. I'm trying my best to entertain you guys, so here's a cute idea I had!

Pairing: RoyxEd

~ ~ Introduction ~ ~

Roy had never been more irriated, or tired, in his whole life. He was neck-deep in paperwork, and had Hawkeye breathing down his throat to get everything finished. He was glad that it was just thirty minutes until he got off of work. "I'mm be back," Riza muttered. Roy nodded in agreement for her to leave. "When I come back, I expect more work to be done!" With that last comment, she slammed the door shut behind her.

"How the hell did she get to bossing me around?" Roy asked himself, rubbing the back of his neck. He also rubbed his weary eyes before scratching his name on a few documents.

He couldn't believe how no one noticed that it was his birthday, either. Everyone knew it, but for some reason, almost all of the military was gone from the office, except for Riza. "Weird," he mumbled, finishing off a large stack. He set down his pen and leaned back in the chair, sighing sadly. Today was just bad over worse. It even started pouring outside, and thundering.

Fuck.

Roy sighed as he became too bored to even sit still. He stood and stretched, rolling his shoulders as he grimanced. There was still a small pile of papers on the corner of his desk. His black eyes switched to the clock. It was eleven thirty. He grabbed his coat and walked out of the room, hoping he didn't run into Riza on the way.

Luckily, someone left their large umbrella by the front doors. Roy found out it was Havoc's. He smirked to himself as he took it, then headed into rain.

The umbrella was wide and a dark blue, much to Roy's liking. The Flame Alchemist glanced around, seeing nothing but fog-crowded streets. Even the lamps on the sidewalks couldn't penitrait all of the fog.

Mustang decided to take a short-cut, turning down a narrow alleyway. He heard the distinct sound of scrambling feet. His eyes caught a bunch of kids as they ran past him with saticfied smirks. He continued on his way with a questioning look, that is, until his boot hit a body.

He glanced down and blinked. So this is what the kids were smiling about. He knelt down and scooped up the body with one arm. He could hear the swallow breaths, and hurried back to his home.

The whole house was dark and quiet, as usual. He set the child on the couch and kicked the door closed before going throughout the house, flicking on lights. When he entered the living room once more, he flicked his fingers, making the logs in the fireplace light up with flames. He set the umbrella, closed, on the ground, then shrugged off his coat to put on the poor kid. He turned and then stared. A sharp gasp escaped his lips.

That's why the kids beat him up . . .

The small blond boy, at least the age of ten, had pointed dog ears ontop of his head. Roy glanced down towards the boy's backside, and found a tail that resimbled one of a golden retriever's. Roy continued to stare for a long time, silence dragging on for a long time. He finally drapped his coat over the small frame, then reached up and touched the ears.

They twitched.

Roy withdrew his hand and smiled fondly. It was weird, but hey, the boy was adorable. He walked over to his kitchen and rummaged through the fridge, trying to find anything that he could eat. His mind trailed to the boy in the next room. He pulled a bottle of milk to the very edge of the fridge, just in case he had to rush for it. He ended up getting himself a hot co-coa and a few crackers.

He sat in his recliner beside the sofa, his eyes switching frm the fire to the boy. He smiled as he watched the young kid breath evenly. The blondie was even tucked into a ball, looking more and more like a dog.

And Mustang loved dogs.

This was the best birthday ever.

Author's Note: Roy is going to be nineteen years old. I know that doesn't fit the storyline, but bear with me. Also, Edward is younger than expected, but in Neko form~!

I got the idea from those pictures you see on photobucket where Ed is a cute Neko and Roy takes care of him. So . . .
