(A/N) Alright I've finally learned to accept this side of myself... the yaoi-rific part of me... I accept the fact that I right yaoi fanfiction and I am not longer ashamed.

This fic I'm going to try not to rush or anything, but I'll probably still write each chapter in a whole sitting (seriously if I don't I never finish). And I'm going to try and make more chapters. Also I'm really trying to get the same positive response I got with Breathe on this one, so if you've read Breathe please tell me if this has the same essence to it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Arakawa-sensei's lovely masterpiece known as Fullmetal Alchemist. If I did however, there would be more scenes of Ed without his shirt on.

"Go on! Hit me with your best shot, oh mighty flame alchemist!" Edward taunted Roy Mustang. "Come and get me!"

"You'll regret those words, Fullmetal!" Roy yelled back at him.

"Brother, General, please stop!" Alphonse pleaded "Don't fight like this, this is ridiculous. Stop! This is stupid!"

Ed transmuted his arm into the blade which he used so often and grinned. Roy held up his hand in position to burn Edward, smiling like a snake ready to strike.

Suddenly a the sound of a gun firing off froze them in their tracks. It was Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, glaring at them she whispered the word "Fools."

Ed looked back at Roy who was starting to relax a bit. This angered Ed, was the man just going to stop? Just like that?

Ed marched up to Roy and got in his face "You're just going to stop because she thinks you should? You act like a fool in love." he said viciously.

Roy's glare at Ed slowly transformed into a grin. "Oh dear boy," he leaned down to Eds level "Are you jealous?"

Ed became more tense "Hell no! That's disgusting! I would never want you to-" He stopped as Roy leaned in closer towards him and whispered in his ear "I love you."

Edward pulled away and threw his fist at Roys jaw "Don't mess with peoples feelings dammit! What would happen if you did that to someone who actually felt that way! Would you feel no remourse!" he screamed.

Roy's grin turned into a look of shock "What did you say?"

Ed knew he'd said too much the moment he spoke. Why had he said those things... he didn't feel that way... because he couldn't... the whole idea was sick and wrong. The very thought of it disgusted him... didn't it?

-

"The... General?" Edward gulped. The very thought scared him. The General was hospitilized? In critical care? This was seriously bad... and Edward cared. He cared that the General had fatal wounds.

As he tried to grasp all this while the Lieutenant continued on about Mustangs injuries and what might result from all of this.

Edward thanked the Lieutenant and rushed to the hospital room that Mustang was in. He rushed to see Roy. He was finally learning to accept that. To accept that maybe, just maybe, he had special feelings for the General.

Or maybe it was all just some sick illusion evolving in his mind, either way... he needed to see him. He needed to see with his own eyes that Roy was alive. He knew he couldn't stand it without confirmation of the injuries and that he would live.

"Roy!" Ed yelled swinging the door open. Suddenly he clasped his hand over his mouth realizing he probably shouldn't be adressing his superior officer like that.

"Fullmetal?" Roy said dazed as he looked up from the book that he was reading. "Why are you here?"

"I uh..." Ed was at a loss of words. Sure he knew why he was there. He was there because Roy was all that he could think about, all he worried about, constantly thinking that he could die at any moment, stressing over it all. Of course Ed had realized it by now, but... he couldn't tell Roy that... it was just too wrong.

"I..." Edwards thoughts were racing "I came to see how much damage the great Flame Alchemist has taken." he said sarcastically.

"Heh.." the General grinned "Are you sure it has nothing to with the what happened last week?"

Ed was stunned. He was more than just stunned, he was downright shocked, he hadn't thought of what had happened. "Oh that..." he said completely caught off guard. But soon enough he realized the General was right, it DID have to do with what had happened previously... If that hadn't of occured maybe...

...his feelings could have been surpressed.

No it would have all come out eventually. Someday, he would have poured out his feelings to him, he would have opened his heart up to Mustang. But... maybe the right time ... was now.

Ed sat down on Roy's hospital bed and stared at the ground in an awkward silence... as the two sat there reflecting...

After a few moments Edward figeted a bit and he looked at Roy and gulped. "S-so..." he said uneasily.

He took a deep breath to ease himself into asking, though he still feared the answer.

"Are you going to be alright?"

(A/N) There. That seems like a good enough spot to end it. So, if you read this please review. I'll start the next chapter soon, and the more you inflate my ego with reviews the faster and better chapters will be put out.
