Enjoy!

Chapter One

"Who are you calling a bean so small he cant even be seen by a microscope!?!" The resounding yell head through Central HQ was automatically pinpointed to the short blonde alchemist. Edward Elric stood in front of Colonel Roy Mustangs desk, fuming and red in the face from ylling his lungs off at the off handed remark the smug Colonel had stated.

"Well, I'm sorry Mr. Elric, but your napolean complex seems to have gotten a bit worse" Roy stated, rubbing his chin and nodding as if he were a doctor. "Now, if i were a doctor, I would get to see everything, and maybe even give a couple of 'shots'...no, bad boy Roy, no going there. You promised yourself." he thought.

"shut up, bastard Colonel. What dirty work do you want me to do this time, seeing as you sent another summons, knowing FULL WELL that Al and I were of trying to find the stone." Ed snapped, his face still a tinge red from yelling at such a high decibal.

"Damn him and his smug face and immpecable stature and sexy body....wait, where did THAT stray thought come from?" Edward, still standing, got a little chil run through his body. He thought about it. "Well, he IS kinda hot, but I guess it could never happen, taking our age difference into account and status difference and the fact that were both in the military and, well, a million other reasons. I do know that hes off limits with all the girls he steals from Havoc..."

Ed knew he was gay ever since the incident in Aquaroya (funny how it has his name in it. Seems like hes watching me, even oer here," Ed thought at the time.) After he touched Clara's chest and endured through Al's rant about how pretty she was, it truck him. He didn't care because he was gay! The thought shocked him a bit, but after the initial shock, he told Alphonse and like all other things, Al accepted him for who he was. Although Al had then done an embarrasingly large amount of "research'' involving several explicit yaoi mangas which shoked Ed on the ways people thought to put it through one little hole, he then said that his brother was his brother and he could like whoever he wanted to. That almost made Ed cry. But then again, he DID cry on the trainride back to central. Though not for the same reason... He cried because he totally forgot to write the report on Aquaroya that the Colonel had requested at FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

Ed sighed. He didn't really advertise the fact that he was gay, yet girls always seemed to know. "damn them and their built in gaydars" He grumbled after a paticularly awful glomping. "well, at least Hawkeye doesn't seem to have one..."

Roy looked totally amused at the current outburst from the younger alchemist. "Why does he yell so much after one short comment? I mean, is i really nessisary to yell so much? Seriously, the way his face turns red is hilarious, but he puts it all out of sorts. He totally rewrites my deinition of everything. I mean, I have never once before thought a man beauiful before I met Ed. He went from a bloming kid to a positively glowing teenager to a very hot young adult. It just cant be fair, can it? I mean, I don't think the kid has ever had just one pimple! Then again, with his devil may care attitude, I doubt he would even notice. If it doesn't help him in his quest to find the philosophers stone, then it doesn't matter. Talk about a one track mind."

Roy, mentally ranting to himself, sat behind his notoriously messy desk. Staring at the blonde, he then realized that he had asked him something.

"Well, Fullmetal, it seems that our marked man is running loose in Central yet again." The Flame alchemist said, easily slipping his stoic mask back on. "We need you to go and either capture or kill him." Ed stood up so quickly if you didn't already know he was sitting you would have already thought he was standing up.

"Scar is here, in Central? Why didn't I force Alphonse to come this time? Why didn't you inform me over the phone? HE targets ALCHEMISTS, damn you! Al's in danger!"

The blonde alchemist shot out of the room, the tail of his red coat snapping at the Colonel. "Dammit, Ed, I'm not finished!" Roy yelled out the door. The only answer he got was the stares of all of his teamates and cooworkers. The cigarette dropped out of Havoc's mouth as he gaped at the disheveled state Roy was in.

Roy stared back at the other peoplein the room, looked at the shocked look on their faces then traveled their gazes downwards. He swore loudly, resulting in Breda starting to choke on his half chewed sandwich. His pants were half undone because he had been eating out a lot and his pants didn't quite fit anymore. He unbuttoned his pants in an attempt of relief from the constraints after a particularly large lunch. He then sighed. They were all way too observant for their own goods. Roy explained the reason for his untidyness and, while it didn't quite look like they believed him completly, a couple of them cracked a smile. Havoc broke out into an all out laughter fit. "so, your telling me that your getting fat? Great, now you can't steal my girlfriends anymore!" he crowed gleefully. He picked up his dropped cigarette and propmtly placed it back in his mouth. "I mean, you can still have the boss" he said, winking at his dumbstruck look.

"Yea, Kain, and pigs fly" Roy said, slipping back into his mask. "They can't know. Nobody can know, save fore Hughes and perhaps Riza. Nobody can know about my bit more than a crush on the certain blonde alchemist."

Said alchemist was currently hurdling down streets at random, trying to find the booktore his brother had said he was going to. He burst through the door and demanded to know if they had seen him. After the cashier had taken a look at his face and said he was there about a half an hour ago, he ran out the door. He positively flew down the street, going at top speed for the apartment they had hastily rented, not knowing how long they would be in town.

Ed arrived at the dingy apartment and almost gave a sigh of relief. Almost being the keyword. It got caught somewhere in his throat as he saw the state the door was in. It looked like someone had placed a small bomb on it and had blown it up. He heard a yell, then a couple of metalic sounds. As he rushed up the rickety stairs, heart in hs throat, he heard a human, echoing scream. Al's scream.

"ALPHONSE" Edward screamed, bursting through their destroyed apartment door. But when he saw the scene inside, he came to an abrupt stop, as Al's armoured shell crashed to the floor, his helmet still on the body. Scar stood above his, looking for all the world, positively mad. Scar kicked the body then stepped on the blood seal, about to smudge it. Ed jumpstarted, running towards Scar. Scar dragged his foot along Alphonse's soul, and smeared it. "Brother, I love you" Al whispered, as the lights serving as his eyes winked out.

I KNOW!!!! IM EVIL!!!! I killed Alphonse off!!! And I was crying throughout it too! I'm sooo sorry!!! but you have to realize, it was COMPLETLY nessicary to the storyline that Alphonse ether had a real body or died, and it just fit better with the death. So, review and tell me what you think! Please no flames, I positively ADORE Alphonse, but he was in the way here...GOMEN!!!! NO MUTILATIONS WITH CARROTS PLEASE!!!!
