EdxRoy Bitter Sweet

Chapter 1

Tainted Kiss

"Al, can you believe I have to see Colonel Big Head again? How many times does that guy want me to report in to him?" Ed sighed as he stood outside of Central staring up at the flag hanging down on the front.

Ed wandered into the huge building, leaving Al behind him, and weaved his way through the corridor till he reached Roy's room. He knocked on the door and entered after hearing the man's voice call him in.

"Have you made any progress yet, Bean?" Asked Roy emphasizing the word bean.

"How many times do i have to tell you not to call me a BEAN!" Ed replied not even properly asking a question.

Roy sat there at his wooden desk and watched as the boy moaned on about the number of times he had been told to call him bean, shorty, midget and a mixture of other names the man had come up with for the boy. He laughed and Ed stopped immediately to stare the man; who never laughed so at peace with him.

"What's with that laugh? You never laugh like that." Ed pressed.

Roy ignored him and bent down to a draw on the side of his desk and pulled out a thick file filled to bursting with paper and reports. He threw down the file and stood up, knocking his chair over behind him, and walked round to the front of the desk. He then picked up the folder again and opened it up allowing all the papers to fall on the floor.

"All of the reports you gave me have been useless. You had better start getting more useful information..." The man began to move closer to the boy. "...because if you don't then you will lose your state title."

Ed moved backwards until his back was pressed against the door behind him. Roy placed one arm over the top of the boy and then rested his forehead on the arm. He looked down at the boy, whose face was almost in shock, and smiled at him. Slowly he moved his other arm so that his hand was under the boy's chin. Roy lowered his lips and lifted to boy's head so that their lips met one another and held them there for a few moments. Suddenly Ed became aware of his surroundings and pushed the man off him blushing brightly.

"What the hell was that for? I'm not a kissing toy, you were just taking advantage of me weren't you. Man i hate you so much." Ed spat at the man as he tried to open the door.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were pointless, he was in such a rush that he was trying to open the door the wrong way and so was trapped. Roy watched the boy frantically try to open a door which was never going to open until he calmed down and again he laughed. This got Ed furious and so he stormed over to the man with his hand in a fist ready to punch him. Roy grabbed the boy's hand and lifted it above his head and then the man wrapped his other arm around the boy's waist.

"Don't you like this?" Asked Roy holding the struggling boy.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Roy let go of the boy and called for the person to enter the room. When Ed saw the door open he felt really stupid and ran out of the room as quickly as he could. He ran out to Alphonse, who was still standing outside waiting for him, and stopped panting heavily.

"Brother, what have you done now? Your face is all red and you seem really flustered, what's up?" Al asked as Ed slowly recovered his breath.

Ed signaled his brother to stop asking questions and just got into the old-style, black car with the quiet engine. The car was still running and when both of the boys were in the car the driver pulled away from Central. Ed was resting his head on his fist, with his elbow against the bottom of the window, and stared out at the world around him. Slowly they passed the office he was just in and he could see Roy staring out of his window at him smiling sweetly; which made Ed blush bright red.

"Damn it." Ed whispered to himself as the images of what just happened in the room flashed into his head.
