DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I don't own Fullmetal, because if I did, it would be Flame Alchemist.

Edward's Point Of View

Spending all that time with her, I finally gave up on her. She was beautiful, and she was so nice, but I couldn't be with her. Why?

There was someone else.

So I, Edward Elric, broke up with Melissa on our tenth date, saying the usual line, "It's not you, it's me."

But it was really him.

I eyed him in the hall, looking for a hint, but of course, he showed nothing.

Who was he?

Roy Mustang. Colonel Roy Mustang. He caught my eye, but unfortunately I never caught his.

One day upon walking into his office to turn in some mindlessly filled in report, I opened the door, to realize that he wasn't inside. I sat on the soft couch. "I'll just wait," I said aloud.

I didn't realize how tired I was until about the fifth minute of sitting on the couch. I yawned and stretched, leaving the reports on the table. I lay down on the couch, "Just a bit. I'm just going to lay here"

I began to close my eyes. "Just resting my eyes, I'm not going to sleep. I'm not going to sleep. I'm not go—"

My eyes opened to see the Colonel looking down at me; I sat up steadfast, and gave him the usual evil eye.

"What, I was tired." I picked up the papers on the table and thrust them into his chest, walking away quickly. He grabbed my shoulder and chills ran down my back, turning to him, there was a long silence before either of us said anything. The hand was still on my shoulder, I didn't want him to let me go. I looked into his eyes; they weren't mad, or hard, like he was sad. They were soft and caring. I thought, This is the moment.

Wrong. The meanness came back into his eyes and he said to me, "Are these completely done?"

"Uh…" I stuttered, this wasn't what he was supposed to say, "Yee—yeah…"

I stood there with his hand still gripping my shoulder, it almost hurt now, but it was a good kind of hurt. He pulled it back away and turned from me. I dashed out of there as fast as I could, and I don't even know why. I wanted to stay there, but why? He would just shoot me down.

Later that week, I noticed several things. No girlfriends, dates, or random making out in the corner from Roy. No hitting on Riza, well, that hadn't happened since he had a gun pulled out on him, but it's still Roy. He didn't seem to talk about ladies at all.

I was walking down the Central hall, with nothing to do, glancing at my pocket watch. Almost time to go home, where it was lonely, except for the random pop in from Winry and Al, who were just annoying these days. I stopped in front of the staff lounge room, where I had planned to grab something to drink, when I heard them talking about Roy. It was always good to get something about him that I could beat myself up over.

"…so, have you heard about Roy's new love?"

"Is this all you guys have time for?" It was Riza.

I put my ear up to the door, hoping that I wouldn't be spotted.

"…so who is it, Havoc?" Hughes sounded especially excited.

"Well, I don't know for sure," Havoc lowered his voice, "but I think it's," his voice lowered even more so I could heard the name.

Soon everyone in there, including Riza said, "REALLY? NO WAY? HIM?"

That especially excited me. That him. That could mean, me. Or someone else that was a guy. Anyhow, I had a chance, maybe. Like, a five percent chance. But, it was still a chance.

Sometime between the time that I heard the "him", and the time that I realized what it meant, a smile had grown onto my face. I decided then and there that today was the day. I would confess my love to him.

I later decided a better way to do it. I was going to make him confess his to me. I was going to seduce Roy Mustang.

I decided on the day to do it. I was so ready for it. I was going to enter his office on the day through a side door, one usually never used. I made sure that the hinges were well oiled so that when I opened the door, it wouldn't squeak at all.

I approached the door and took a deep breath. You can do this, Elric. I put on my best sinister smile and slammed the door open as I had done so many times in my mind. I watched Roy jump and then stare at me. I eyed him, trying to be sexy. I could tell it wasn't working, because his left eyebrow arched. I ditched the plan of trying to be sexy and just winged it.

I approached his desk slowly, and he didn't say anything. He stared down at his work, and I could see his face becoming pink-ish. I came upon his desk and he said, "Is there a reason you're here, Fullmetal?" His voice was shaky and I could tell he was nervous, and that my plan was working.

"Oh, no," I said, making my voice a whisper as I moved my face towards his, "I just wanted to drop in."

I could see the drops of sweat forming on his forehead, and I moved in even closer. "What's wrong, Roy?" I whispered into his ear sharply, "Nervous?"

This time, he didn't respond. He just stared down, completely frozen.

"What's wrong, Roy?" I had my lips almost touching his ear, "Do you like me?"

His neck snapped up and his face was suddenly in mine, and he said, "Yes." His rough lips were suddenly forced onto mine, causing me to stumble back only slightly, still in mid-kiss.

Roy broke off of me and grabbed my shoulders, looking down at me, I was still stunned.

"Yes, Elric," He stared into my eyes, "I like you. A lot. I love your hair, your eyes, you."

He turned from me and I touched his shoulder, causing him to turn around. I changed my sinister voice, making it softer. "Good." This is what I had been waiting for, "because I like you, too. I like you a lot."

I stood on tip toe and kissed him on the lips, and he kissed back, but suddenly, he pulled back, like he had suddenly realized something. He stumbled back, losing his balance and falling over.

"Roy?"

"J-just forget that…" he stuttered, "I-I was lying."

He got up and ran out of the room, leaving me there, thinking, "What the hell just happened?"
