Chapter One : Dirty Jobs ;)

I didn't particularly mind my night job.. I mean, I really needed extra money. The funds the military provides is barely enough. Especially while I'm trying to pay for Al to be in school right now. I already have my place in the military, so I'm not particularly concerned about that.

Sighing, I glanced into the mirror to make sure I looked suitable. I sported fairly tight leather pants, and a tight, white, transparent tank-top. I shrugged. Being a male stripper wasn't as bad as I thought it would be initially. I don't have to strip more than I want to, and I can't strip completely. Since I'm only 17... My boss thinks I'm 18 but who cares. I needed the extra money.

Making my way out onto the floor of the bar that was designated for the other male-entertainers, I found that the poles were occupied. That didn't bother me one bit. If the floor was occupied, then we were just waiters, and not many people from central or many people thankfully that I would know ever come here. And if they DID... Well I just really hope they don't.

I nervously scanned the room, and made my way to the counter to fill the drinks of customers. Most of the customers were men, and somewhere along the line this bar turned into one for those types of men. I'd been flirted on way too many times to count, and most of them were dick-heads. Some of them were genuine, but I didn't get a spark from any of them. I didn't seem interested in much of anyone really, I guess except-..

That was when I heard a crisp snap break my thoughts off. I recognized it as a call for my attention, but I also recognized the way it held in the air. My heart stopped and my stomach dropped. I turned to face my greatest fear, and stared straight into the burning irises of Roy Mustang. He smirked devilishly, his hair somewhat disheveled after the long hours he put in at central. My superior officer. Sitting at the bar. Staring at me. Knowing full-well what my place here was. I fumbled the glass in my hand and he leaned back in his bar stool.

I was still standing, stuck in my place, hoping this was all a dream until he leaned forward, his elbows on the bar top, playfully almost. He raised an eyebrow and his eyes dropped, then rose. He eyed me up and down, and every inch of my skin felt like it was on fire. I could die from the embarrassment, and I knew he had to be taunting me... He kept staring at me...

Panic washed over me, and the fear of losing my position or.. losing my research and my access to material only the dogs of the military could obtain.

"Edward." His crisp voice shook my entire being and I hesitantly made my way over to him with a glass. Stuttering, and glaring at him in a mix of confusion, anger, and anxiety, I spoke.

"M-...Mustang. What are you doing here." My legs felt weak and if I could..and if it were possible, I'd transmute him into a fucking bird right now.

"Now, is that anyway to talk to a customer? Fullmetal." The sting of using my state-alchemy title made me stiff. He basically made it obvious he was still standing as my superior officer.

My voice cracked in my throat.

"What.. would you like." Glaring at him, I tried to steady my shaking hand. He smirked and he looked over at the fountain of many beers.

"How about.. get me a corona."

I made my way to the fountain, and filled his glass. Shakily, I made my way over there, and by some grace, I managed not to spill it all over me. I set the drink down in front of him and I started to turn away, but he reached out and caught my wrist.

"What time do you... get off?" He smirked heavily, and the chill of his suggestive voice went up my spine and pricked my ears and patience like needles.

I swallowed. "In an hour.." He let go of my wrist and drank from his glass.

"Perfect, that was just when I was leaving." My heart sank and I turned my back to him to go treat other customers to their drinks.
