Fullmetal Alchemist: A Somewhat Happier Fic
Roy stood looking out the window to his office. He was Brigadier General now. Something he had wanted all of his years in the military. Hawkeye knocked on the door.
"Sir, are you almost ready?" She asked.
"Be right there," he said as he looked at the picture on his desk of him and Hughes. He smiled and opened the door after grabbing his coat. There was a ceremony today for Ed, he was going to become a Lieutenant Colonel, after two years of being with the military. Ed's path had been a little sketchy. He did quit for a few years, which made everyone doubt his loyalties. He basically had to beg Roy to give him back his position as state alchemist. The accomplishments that Ed has made over these two years has made up for that.
"I'm surprised that you agreed to give the ceremony, since you and Edward haven't exactly had a great friendship," Liza stated.
"We… understand eachother now. We're not really good friends or anything, but we can talk without fighting like we used to," Roy said, as they walked outside. Every member of central was standing out in the courtyard. Ed had earned a reputation even when he first started working there. He was standing at the top of the stairs, where Roy and Liza were walking towards. Havoc and the others were there as well. Al and Winrey were standing off on the side, of course. Roy went to the podium that was set up for the occasion, he cleared his throat, and pulled the microphone up a bit.
"We are here today to recognize one of our most accomplished and prized state alchemists. Edward Elric. He may have seemed to doubt us from time to time, but he came back and that is what mattered. He made up for his lost time by saving many people, sometimes even whole cities. It gives me pleasure to present him with this metal, for Lieutenant Colonel. He deserves it," Roy stated. Everyone clapped. Ed walked over to the podium, smiling. He was wearing his normal, red coat over black shirt and pants. They tried to get him to wear the uniform, but he refused. Roy bent over a bit to pin a star on his collar. Ed was taller, but still not as tall as Roy. Al was even taller in his human form, even though he was a year younger than Ed.
"Thank you, Roy. I enjoy working here, even though I had left for a couple of years. My motives were unclear, but now I know where I stand. I will not let you down," Ed said, nearly reaching the top of the podium. Everyone clapped again and the ceremony was over. There was a party in the main hall afterwards.
"Congratulations, brother. I never thought you would make it this far," Al said, laughing a bit.
"What would give you that idea?" Ed asked, sipping some wine that he had taken from one of the tables. You only had to be fifteen to drink in Rockbell.
"Well, you kept leaving, and you never liked the military that much. You fought with the Brig. Gen. a few times," Al replied. Ed laughed.
"It was more like a hundred times. We never started agreeing until just recently. Now I hardly ever see him because he's a higher-up, which is fine by me," Ed explained. Winrey laughed.
"Well, congrats," she stated, bending over to give him a hug. Ed blushed a little. Roy and Liza came over to them as well.
"Why don't we have a little drinking game? In celebration," Roy suggested.
"Sure, I'll definitely win this one, though," Ed boasted. Roy laughed and took a tray of champaigne glasses. Ed took a few more glasses of wine.
"Ugh, men," Liza muttered. Winrey laughed. After a few glasses, Ed was already starting to get dizzy. He tried to shake it off, but he ended up falling to the side. He still kept drinking though, since Roy showed no signs of being the slightest bit drunk. Al was laughing at his brother, who had collapsed on the floor by now. Roy also laughed.
"Well, looks like I won. You were wrong, Edward. I'm not even a little drunk," Roy stated, he started to walk and almost ran into Liza. She caught him though before he could fall over anymore.
"I'll see you guys later," Liza said, walking the General out to get some fresh air. Ed was sleeping soundly, and was not able to be moved. Soon he would have to face something that he would want to forget about for the rest of his life.
Lina: So, what do you think so far? I know, no plot really so far. There will be, I promise. Hehe. You have to love drunk Roy, which there will be more of later. sniff For a very sad reason. Okay, gtg.
Roy: I'm not druuunk.
Lina: Lol ja ne! Review please!
