"Come on Roy-Boy! It's time to get up~" Roy grunted and rolled over in his bed, pulling the blanket over his head.
"Not now Maes," he heard his friend chuckle and then the blanket was pulled back revealing the sunlight, much to Roy's displeasure.
"Come on! We have to go to school today Roy-Boy!" Roy grunted again and stood up making Maes giggle. "You're getting into a habit of grunting aren't ya' Roy?"
Roy swatted a hand at his friend and walked over to his dresser were he removed a pair of dark washed jeans, a navy blue t-shirt and a black jacket. He walked past Meas in the door way and stepped down the hall to the bathroom were he shut and locked the door. Roy sighed heavily and leaned his head against the wall. Today was his first day at Alchemist High as a junior. It was a weird name for a school, but apparently the builder of it was fascinated with alchemy. Roy snorted as he stripped and turned the water on full blast. The hot water stung against his skin but he paid no mind to it. Roy was numb to the pain.
After he washed himself thoroughly, he dried of and quickly got dressed. Then Roy ran down stairs to grab some toast and his bag.
"Come on Maes! I'm leaving!" there was a loud thump as Roy was tackled by Maes little sister, Elicia. She was 8 years old and today was going to be her first day of elementary school. She looked up at Roy with big eyes.
"Why didn't you say goodbye to me big brother?" Roy sighed and pried Elicia off of him. She had started calling him big brother when he moved in with Hughes' family two years ago when the accident happened. Roy bent down and ruffled the girl's pigtailed head.
"Bye bye Elicia," she smiled up at him brightly.
"Bye bye big brother!" Roy sent her a small smile and turned to go out the door when Maes hooked his arm over his shoulder.
"Isn't she just a-do-ra-ble~" Roy shoved Maes off of him and chuckled.
"Shut up. We need to be going to school. Weren't you talking about how much you wanted to see Gracia last night?" Roy arched an eyebrow and smirked as Maes' face lit up and he began to dance down the driveway to Roy's Mustang.
Roy had bought the car in spite of Maes. He thought it would be funny and then nobody would ever forget his name. His other friends at school had laughed as well.
"Hurry up Rooooy~" Maes whined as Roy slowly walked to the car and opened the door.
"Alright, alright. Just get in already," Maes smiled triumphantly and hoped in as the engine was started.
"Okay class, today we are going to introduce you to a new student. Now please be kind to him, show your manners," Roy sighed and leaned his head n his palm. Hopefully this new student wouldn't be some stuck up asshole.
"Please welcome Edward Elric," Roy looked out the window as he heard some girls whisper 'he's cute' and 'I wonder if he is single'.
"Hi," the voice was high pitched and almost girly. Roy looked up and towards the front of the classroom and his eyes widened at the sight. A short boy stood at the front of the class donning a long red coat, a black tank top and black leather pants that tucked into combat boots. He had long blond hair tied back into a braid and bright gold eyes that made Roy shiver. His heart began to beat faster when their eyes met. A smirk made its way onto Edwards face as he noticed Roy staring at him.
"Now Edward let's put you in the seat right by… Maes!" the teacher pointed to the seat next to Maes which was, thankfully, two seats away from Roy.
"Okay ma'am," Edward walked up to the seat and sat down as Maes stuck his hand out to the short boy.
"Hi, I'm Maes Hughes," he grasped the hand lightly with his gloved hand and smiled.
"I'm Edward, but you can call me Ed," Maes returned the smile and turned back to the board as the teacher began droning on about chemistry. It seemed like all of the teachers in this school were fascinated by science and alchemy.
"So what did you think of the new kid, huh Roy?" Roy shrugged his shoulders as they walked down the hallway.
"Aw come on! I saw how you looked at him," Maes bumped Roy playfully and giggled when his friend growled at him.
"I do not like the kid Maes."
"Why Roy, I never said that you liked the boy did I?" Roy frowned and grumbled and Maes laughed at his friends grumpy mood.
"Look! There he is now! Let's go say…"when Maes voice trailed off Roy looked over to see Ed standing by the wall alone. That is, until they saw a younger boy with short light brown hair and gold eyes like Ed's except they looked happier and had a light felling to them.
"Brother!" he called out as he ran up to Edward and gave him a hug. Ed laughed and ruffled the boys hair.
"Hey there Alphonse, how was your day so far?"
"It was good! And guess what? Winry is in the same class as me!" Alphonse smiled up as a look of shock and relief flashed across his face.
"Winry huh?" he scratched the back of his head and nodded slowly, then smiled at his younger brother. "Come on Al, let's go get lunch. I'm starving!" Al chuckled as he and his brother walked towards the cafeteria.
"You're always hungry brother."
Roy and Maes watched them walk off curiously. Maes smiled at Roy and then proceeded to drag him to the cafeteria. They each grabbed one of the school lunches and sat down at a table with their other friends; Riza Hawkeye, Jean Havoc, Kain Fuery, Vato Falman and Heymans Breda.
"Hello everyone! Did you guys see the new kid Edward Elric yet?" Riza and Jean nodded. They were also in Roy's morning classes. Fuery fidgeted slightly and adjusted his glasses. Roy saw this out of the corner of his eyes and turned to Fuery.
"I can see that you want to tell us something Fuery. Please do so," they all turned towards him expectantly.
"W-well there was also a new kid in my class. His name is Alphonse Elric," Fuery was in the year under them. Maes nodded and stared off into space thoughtfully.
"Well then they must be brothers because we saw them as they were entering the cafeteria. Do you know a girl named Winry?" Maes turned back to Fuery as he nodded.
"Yes. Her name is Winry Rockbell and she is also in the automotive classes," Maes nodded again and a serious look crossed his face as he began to think again.
"So… why are you so interested in this Maes?" Jean asked with a confused look on his face. The others nodded in agreement and looked over at Hughes as a smile spread across the man's face.
"Well Roy-Boy here has a little crush on Edward," Maes poked at Roy's shoulder as a look of horror crossed Roy's face.
"I do not have a crush on him!"
"Crush on who?" they both turned around to see Alphonse staring at them questioningly. Ed was walking in front of him and looked back when he heard Al speak. A sly smile spread across Maes face.
"Well you see my dear friend Roy here has a crush on your-"Roy clamped a hand over Maes mouth.
"Say another word and I will kill you," Ed laughed, making Roy's head snap up to look at the boy. Al looked over at Ed in surprise, making Maes wonder.
"Brother, do you know these people?"
"Yeah Al. they are in my class. The bastard trying to kill the one in glasses is Roy, the victim is Maes. Those two are Riza and Jean," Ed pointed at them all as he spoke but then stopped when he saw the other three. He scratched his head.
"I don't know the others," Alphonse looked over at them and smiled when he saw Fuery. Fuery smiled back and waved. Ed turned to walk away when Al spoke up.
"Do you mind if we sit with you?"
"What!?" Al looked back at his brother pleadingly.
"Pretty please?" Al gave him puppy eyes as Maes laughed as he wiggled out of Roy's grip.
"Sure, you can sit with us!" Al smiled and sat down, then patted the seat next to him while looking at Ed.
"Come on brother," Ed grumbled but sat down anyways.
"Bye guys!" Alphonse yelled out to them as he ran to catch up with his brother.
Maes waved goodbye and then turned back to the others with a concerning look on his face.
"Something seems strange about Edward. I'm worried about him," Riza frowned.
"Yes something did seem off about him."
"Off? You just met the guy!" Jean yelled throwing his hands into the air. Maes shook his head.
"You should have been paying attention more Havoc. The kid was wearing gloves and his brother kept on sending him worried looks at lunch when he thought nobody was looking. Also, when I shook hands with Ed, his hand didn't feel entirely normal to say," Roy frowned as they spoke. As Maes continued he grew more worried, which was unlike Roy. He hasn't felt this much emotion over someone since the accident two years ago.
