Disclaimer: I don't own anything of FMA though I wish I did though
Chapter 1: The fight, the realization
Ed groaned. His paper for Mustang was due and he only had three pages finished. 'Like he'll actually read it…I guess as long if its on time is what counts….' and with that he put it into a folder and headed off towards Brigadier General Roy Mustang's office. Ever since the whole deal with the gate and Al and he being on the other side for such a time finally the Colonel finally had a raise in ranks. Coming upon the door he took a deep breath knowing that verbal abuse was awaiting him.
"Come in Full Metal." Ed was startled. He then opened the door and walked in.
"How did you know I was there?"
"I have my ways Full Metal. So where is it?"
"Huh? Oh hear you go Brigadier General."
"Thank you Major."
Ed had to get used to that. Even though he hated the fact that he was a dog of the military he loved the fact that he was able to protect people….like his niece Rachel. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Roy begin to laugh.
"What's so funny Roy?"
"I'll be damned…you seem to be getting taller!" he said through tears. Ed looked and saw his pants were now floods.
"If I recall your not so tall yourself now are you?"
"Enough to pass you up…but then who don't now that is?"
"Argh! Shut up!" but to no avail Roy Mustang sat there laughing.
"You keep that up your gonna go crazy just like Kimbley did."
Ed in all his years never….ever thought that he could ever hit a nerve on Roy…my, my how he was wrong.
"What did you say?" he said in a dangerous tone.
"I said that if you keep that up your gonna end up crazy just like Major Kimbley-" he was cut off by a slam on the desk.
"Elric I don't think you know your place. Go. You gave me your report now leave and dammit have some respect for your elders!"
"What's your problem?"
"You don't know….what he went through…go Full Metal."
"But-"
"As your commanding officer I am telling you to get out."
"Fine! Why they hell I hung around a bastard like you is still beyond me!"
And with that Ed slammed the door leaving a contemplating Roy on the other side.
"I don't know what his problem is! I don't believe him! I was just trying for once to be friendly and joking and this is what I get!" he ranted on while sitting on the couch next to the fireplace.
"Get what Edward?" asked Maese Hughes. Who was sitting on the opposite side. Armstrong was with him.
Ever since the homunculi were defeated Maese was gifted with life once more….although no one knew why but Maese kept going on about how Hohenhime of Light was there and another 'officer' that was gifted with life too although he never specified exactly who it was either. So his father was alive again? Heh things just seem to be getting better as the day goes on now doesn't it?
"Brigadier General!" Ed told him as if that were enough information.
"Well what happened?"
"I told him that if he kept laughing hysterically, mind you it was about me, that he would end up as psycho like Major Kimbley." as soon as he said the Major's name, Maese's face fell sad.
"He is still very sensitive about that I see…."
"Sensitive about what? What happened between him and Kimbley?"
"Edward don't you DARE tell anyone about this ok?"
"Al-alright…."
"Well Roy is actually my little half brother. We have the same father. There's two year difference between us." Ed was just a little shocked but nodded.
"And well….Ed in order for you to believe it well…..use your alchemy to give me long hair." Ed did as he was told. He nearly fainted when he saw Maese take off his glasses.
"Oh my god! You look JUST like him!"
"Yes I do look just like Zolf J. Kimbley….he's my older brother." Ed nearly passed out with this new information.
"O-Ok so all of you are brothers and share the same father right?"
"Yes Edward."
"Just wondering…who's the dad?"
"Um…let me explain something for you. Zolf and I have the same mother and father. Our mother decided to give Zolf her maiden name which was of course 'Kimbley'. Now I was given my great grandmother's name which was 'Hughes'. Roy's mother, who is in fact in the military, gave him her mother's maiden name which was 'Mustang'."
"Why didn't Roy's mother give him her maiden name though?"
"Because then you'd have a Roy Ross instead of Roy Mustang"
"Lieutenant Maria Ross is his mother! Well I guess the do look identical. Um do you want me to change your hair back now? Your getting a few weird looks."
"If you want too although I'd rather have you sit down for this next bit of information."
"Oh I highly doubt it will knock me off my feet."
"Ok, our dad is……our father that is, is no other than….."
"Spit it out Hughes." Armstrong said. By the looks of it he already knew this story.
"It's Hohenhime."
Ed passed out.
