Ch 1 Split!
It was a normal day… err it was as normal as it ever could be at the military headquarters in Central. Roy was busy avoiding paperwork; Hawkeye was nagging him to finish the paperwork, and the rest of Roy's subordinates well… were just sitting around the long table doing nothing. It was quite a boring day and what do you know it started raining.
'Oh joy...' Roy thought. It was bad enough that everyone was cramped into his office doing nothing… but now it started raining, and Roy hated the rain… he glanced over at his subordinates. Havoc was smoking… yet another cigarette, Furey was busy reading something, Fallman was also reading and Breda was busy trying to stay away from Black Hayate. Roy sighed as he glanced at the stack of paperwork that was sitting right in front of his face. He looked at the papers… that stack had to contain nearly forty… no fifty papers that all had attached files to them containing pictures, and various other papers that no one never even needed. Why were there so many damned files that no one even cared about? Hell I don't even look at half of the papers. Which I probably should… but… that's not the point! I wonder what Edward is doing now… I think I will go check up on him. I- Roy quickly came back to reality after Riza had tapped him on his shoulder.
"Colonel… You need to stop spacing out."
"I was doing no such thing."
"We all know that you like to space out when I am hounding you for paperwork."
"She's right boss." Havoc said with a laugh.
"Colonel, all of these papers need to be done by today."
"Fine… I'll get to it eventually." Roy said with a sigh. He stood up from his desk and walked over to the door. Looking back at everyone he said,
"I am going out for a bit. I will be back later." Roy grabbed his dark blue jacket and began to put his arm in the sleeve. He heard Riza say something but he tuned her out because he didn't feel like listening to her badger him about paperwork. He lifted his hand in the air and waved a quick goodbye wave and left his office.
"He didn't hear a word I said did he?"
The group nodded in unison as Havoc said "Nope." He took another drag on his cigarette and sighed. Riza shook her head as she sat down in Roy's chair. She grabbed a pen and began going through the paperwork. 'It's never going to get done if I keep waiting for Roy to do it…' she thought.
"No Ed!!" Alphonse yelled as his brother clapped his hands as blue light was seen coming from the young alchemists hands as he attempted a transmutation.
Of course Ed didn't listen to Al. He usually just ignores people when they tell him no, because in Edward's mind No isn't an answer, neither is You Can't, or Stop Shrimp! … Okay well maybe that last one, but still once Ed had something he set his mind on he was going to do it. Alphonse usually went along with it. He knew telling his brother no wouldn't have any affect. This time Al really wanted Ed to stop, but as usual Ed didn't listen. The blue light quickly faded away. Alphonse watched as smoke engulfed where his brother was standing.
"Ed…?" Al called out. This transmutation… was some new weird one that Edward had been reading about. Al wasn't even sure about it. Ed was keeping it all hush hush and wouldn't tell Al anything. Every time Al would peer over Ed's shoulder He would quickly slam his book shut and cover all of his research notes. Of course Al was curious. Who wouldn't be? But this transmutation seemed weird. Al was watching his brother draw the transmutation circles on the ground and he noticed that Ed didn't draw one circle but he drew two and they overlapped each other. They also had a huge triangle connecting both of the min the middle where they overlapped. Al wasn't sure he's seen one of these circles before… but he just guessed he should trust his brother. After all he is the Fullmetal Alchemist. (That doesn't really mean much to Al but…) Al sighed and waited for his brother to respond. He could see Ed's figure standing amongst the smoke.
"Ed, so did your transmutation work?" Al asked.
Ed slowly turned around and walked out of the smoke. His head was hanging low. He walked over to Al and stopped.
"Ed? Are you alright?"
"Al…" Edward looked up as he brought his arms up to his chest and clenched his fists. His eyes were opened wide and had tears forming inside of them. "IT"S ALL RUINED!!" Edward cried.
"What's all ruined? What did yo-?"
"OH ALPHONSE!! I RUINED THE PERFECT TRANSMUTATION!!!" Ed was sobbing; tears were now streaming down his face.
Al had no idea what to make of this. Ed had never gotten so upset about a transmutation before. It's like this was some one different.
"I..I'm sorry brother… I-"
"No Alphonse!! There is nothing you can do to help!! Saying things will only make it worse!!" Edward said as he ran out of the room crying.
Al was confused… Ed had never acted this strange… Well he has acted strange before but this is the strangest that Al has ever seen him act. Al sighed and went after Ed. He didn't know what he could do but… he wanted to know what was so upsetting.
Roy didn't know why he put on his jacket. He wasn't going outside or anything. Not In the rain anyways. Plus the brother's room was inside the military dorms. So there was no need for the jacket… 'Damn this is pathetic… I have no life if I am thinking about my jacket…' Roy thought. He walked down the hallway towards the Elric's room. He watched the door fly open and Edward walk out.
'At least talking to Ed will make for some interesting conversation.' Roy thought as he smiled and waved calling out Ed's name.
"Ed!"
The blonde boy turned around and looked at Roy. He started walking towards him.
"I see that this rain has you cooped up inside as well. Too bad… maybe some watering is what you need to make you grow taller." Roy said with a laugh. 'This will make him angry'
Ed neared the older man and looked at him. He smirked as he took his hand and grabbed Roy's chin.
"What the hell? Let go of my chin…" Roy said. He couldn't figure out why Edward was holding on to his chin and wasn't reacting to his comment. Ed would always react. Even to the slightest of comments. But this time… he didn't say anything. He just grabbed Roy by his chin… which was weird.
"Shhh." Ed said as he took his right hand and placed a finger up to Roy's lips. Ed took his left hand the hand that he used to grab Roy's chin and pushed him up against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing?" Roy said angrily.
"What am I doing? Why I am checking you out of course…" Edward replied as he continued to closely examine Roy's facial features.
"What…? You're not serious?" Roy said even more confused. Just what the hell was Ed trying to pull? Checking Roy out? At this point Roy was beginning to become uncomfortable, because Edward had moved in closer to the older mans face. They were nearly touching noses.
"You know what Colonel… I like you. And right this very moment I want you…" Edward said as he leaned in and attempted to kiss Roy. Roy quickly pushed Edward away from him and said angrily,
"Look, I have no idea what you are trying to pull but it's not funny. So just stop it already with you pretending to like me and stuff… It's creepy…"
"Oh silly silly Colonel… Who said I was pretending…" Edward said slyly. Ed cornered Roy once more and was just about to plant a kiss on him when Roy heard Alphonse's voice.
"Brother!! Come back!! Please don't cry!"
Roy's eyes widened as he watched Edward run out of the dorm room with Alphonse following behind. Edward ran past Roy up the hallway and Al continued chasing him until he came upon another Ed who had Roy cornered up against a wall. Al stopped and gasped.
"If that was Ed running up the hallway… then who is th-"
"He didn't…"
"Oh my god Al, there is TWO EDWARDS??!!"
