SO …here's a (hopefully)non-crappy fanfic for, Royed! One of my favorite OTP's (since I'm fandom trash lol) I'm gonna try to do a crap-ton of chapters. I'm also going to devote a crap-ton of time! ALSO FOR MY SLENDERMAN FANFIC-ERS (Unexpected Killer Love) AFTER READING THIS READ MY ENDING NOTE AT THE END OF THIS.

I DO NOT OWN FMA… (insert other disclaimer stuffs)

Starring absent-mindedly at his auto-mail hand, Ed proceeded to inspect the gleaming attachment. The way the metal caught the light as each individual part moved together was slightly fascinating. Closing his hand slowly into a fist, the light threw itself upon the wall. However his amusement slowly faded as the distraction lost its given purpose.

Once again, thoughts of a certain Colonel burrowed into his mind.

"Tch..."

'Screw it…' He thought to himself. Leaning forward grabbing the manila envelope that contained his report concerning a recent mission, He considered throwing it back down.

"Brother! Before I leave to visit Winry, make sure you hand in the report alri-" As Al entered the room frantically looking for something, He froze as his eyes took in the sight of his elder brother who seemed intent in glaring at the file in his grasp.

Though it seemed his frustration was mostly directed toward anything and everything, Al knew the pain in his brother's heart. With Ed being the stubborn layered person he is, talking was sadly not an option. But then again, this was something that he knew Ed wouldn't want to trouble him with. A "trivial" matter his elder sibling had once put it.

Whenever Ed went into this state, Alfonse had always put down everything he did to comfort his brother. He was prepared to do the same now. The very thought of this sent a pang of guilt through Ed.

Sensing his little brother's decision, He forced his lips to curl into something that he hope looked like a smile. Despite the fact that it didn't reach his eyes he maintained it till it started to ache. Pushing off of the couch he wrapped his indecisive little brother in a deep hug.

"Al when was the last time you were able to get some time alone with Winry? Go."

Feeling his younger sibling's face heat up from a silent blush, Al was about to protest but was shoved out of the door as Edward walked them towards it. Then using his auto-mail, he pushed him outside.

"Have fun... and tell everyone I said 'hey'." Ed said as he shut the door.

Not seeing any alternatives, Al thumped his palm against the door to serve as a 'see ya' later'.

"Geez brother…" Al said as he turned towards the station.

Ed's POV

I laughed at the clock as it mocked me.

Al had left an hour ago and Colonel Bastard goes home in an hour and a half.

I knew I was procrastinating as I sat there thinking about the amount of time it takes to get there and how it was better to go after the Colonel left so I could slide it under his door…

But I've never done that because I never really cared enough to be thoughtful of him.

But damn! Anything would be better than to go see that…

"URG!" I screeched in frustration hitting the wall.

"…!" Shit… I used my flesh hand.

It hurt like a mother… but not as much as connecting to auto-mail.

The sharp throbbing in my hand continued its rage… The skin over my knuckles busted open exposing them. Blood and a clear liquid ran down my hand and between my fingers making them sticky as it dried.

Opening and closing my hand I walked to the bathroom of our small house. Letting out a sigh I poured alcohol straight onto the wound.

I t stung enough for me to have to bite the insides of my cheeks.

But the short burst of pain was… enlightening. It kind of took my mind off of that womanizing military dog.

Wrapping my hand, I grabbed my red coat and the manila folder and made my way to Central.

Ed was slightly more confident about dropping off the report. Not that he really wanted to stay long… As he continued on his bee-line for Mustang's office his mismatched footsteps kept their steady rhythm until he pushed the door open.

The second he opened the door he kind of wish he hadn't he wish he'd just have stayed home and wait until he could just simply slide the damn thing under the door.

"Fullmetal… do you just plan to stand there in the door? Or are you actually waiting to be invited in?" Mustang said with his trademark smirk with some added disbelief.

Since his hand was still sore from earlier, He balled his auto-mail hand into a fist and begrudgingly planted himself in a seat. In doing this he slid the envelope onto Mustang's desk without a word.

As he heard the Colonel sigh, he looked up at him to see why he hadn't touched the envelope.

Mustang turned his head to the side a bit as he jotted something down on a small notepad.

Almost immediately Edward had the urge to leave as he saw a small barely noticeable bruise on the side of the base of older man's neck. Staring at the hickey Ed fought within himself to keep his facial expression under control. Gritting his teeth he pushed down any and all expression.

Roy then looked off of his pad to discuss the report with his subordinate. But in seeing Ed's face, he was slightly taken aback.

Huh? He thought. The boy's face wasn't dead-pan but…just plain painful

Do I hug him? Do I get tissues? Do I get a female…? Either way it's gonna be awkward…crap.

"Er… Fullmetal… are you- is something wrong?" he began

"No."

"If you're sad because you're still a chibi then I'm not a miracle worker."

In hopes of his ass-hole statement snapping the teen back to normal, he waited for the oncoming retaliation.

But instead the teen's sad golden eyes stayed locked in Roy's general direction.

"Fullmetal what's wrong?" Mustang asked again more authoritatively

His lips formed the words and Ed heard them but didn't care to comprehend their meaning and how it relates to him. As the Flame alchemist got increasingly irritated with the teen, he sighed in exasperation and folded his hands thoughtfully.

When Roy moved his head again the hickey Edward was presently glaring at came into full view. 'This damn bastard just can't keep it in can he?' the youth thought inwardly.

As Mustang tried to calm himself down, he cleared his throat.

"No… nothing's wrong. There's my report along with some pictures of things that the past investigators missed." Springing up he tried to make his leave.

Almost instantly his left hand was grabbed by a concerned Colonel who pulled him back.

But before he could protest, the colonel forced him more aggressively further back into his warmth.

"M-Mustang!" Ed yelled in surprise still squirming to get away.

"Uh-uh. Nope. You aren't getting outta' this one."The older man responded. In saying this, Mustang tightly wrapped his long muscular arms around the alarmed teen until he stopped moving.

A furious blush crept up into the young alchemist's cheeks.

"LET GO OF ME YOU DAMN COLONEL BASTARD!" okay now he was pretty pissed off.

Moving his hands to Ed's shoulders, Roy pulled away. Still holding him.

"Fullmetal whether you like it or not, it's my job as a Colonel to help my subordinates with whatever so they can fulfill their duties. To themselves and to the military, do you get it? So pulling this crap doesn't work." Roy said sternly.

"Is that really the case? Since when has advancing your rank come after something like this? You don't even like me!"Ed responded heatedly.

Squeezing his flesh hand into a tight fist, he felt warm blood start to ooze through the wrapping as he accidently re-opened the wound. But that didn't matter. Throwing both his hands up, he continued his rage.

"All you ever do is see me as a burden. Or a damn joke. And I'm fucking tired of it bastard! Then you pull shit like this despite the fact that-" Ed couldn't finish his sentence turning away. Moving his bangs out of his face with his wrapped and bleeding hand, he gasped in shock as the Colonel grabbed his wrist glaring at spreading red blotch that now took up most of his hand.

"What the hell is this?" Roy said gently turning the hand.

"It's nothing…" Ed said starring at the floor, yanking his hand away.

Growling a stream of profanities, Mustang shoved him roughly into a seat and got a first aid kit out of his desk. Then after pulling a chair closer he un-did the gauze around Ed's hand and cleaned it in silence.

Roy POV

Just what the actual hell was with this kid? I'm nice enough to try to help him heal and all he does is scoot as far away as the seat he's sitting can allow!

Shaking my head I simply continued to simply wipe at the wound. But who the hell could he have punched and split his skin this much… Armstrong…?

"Fullmetal." I asked

"Yeah?"

"So… who was it?"

"What…?"

"Who did you hit?"

"…no one…?" He slightly raised his pitched as he frowned. Smartass.

"Obviously. But seriously what happened?" This kid just can't understand the concept of 'concern'. I mean seriously how the heck can I possibly make this seem as though I'm just jerkin' him for a damn loop?

"I just punched a wall. Whyddya' wanna know?"

"…"I sighed… this just isn't worth it.

His wound seemed pretty cleaned. Grabbing the gauze and the gauze tape I put a square of gauze over his knuckles and proceeded to tape them. But just as I began wrapping them, I felt a vibration coming from my pocket.

My phone.

ED POV

His concentration as he fixed up my hand was slightly cute…er...no…interesting. But strange. Knowing him, he's probably thinking that I'm an idiot or something. But the calm air around him was slightly comforting. So I kinda wanted to ditch the thought… but then again, the idea of leaning in closer to him slightly made my chest feel tight and constricting since my heart was going crazy. Leaning away was safe. It was easy. It was normal.

I actually wanted to mentally slap myself for my way of carrying my end of the conversation… but the whole 'I'm asking cause' I care' is just plain foreign. I knew that it was his way of shaking off awkwardness by asking the obvious… but he can't get pissy at me for being… well…me.

The sound of a vibrating phone caught me off guard as I also notice him in the process of wrapping my hand back up.

"Oh. Hey Chelsea." Roy said into the cell.

"Tonight? Sure!... I'm not doing anything. When? Now? Sure! I'll be there in five… Yeah… bye.'

Shutting the phone with a snap, Mustang turned to me, his black eyes slightly shining.

So a conversation with that chick gets him al giddy… but not a whole hour with me? I thought.

Not that is matters or anything. Hell! He can do whatever he wants.

"Eleric, can you finish this yourself?" He asked me.

"Geez. I didn't know nurses are allowed to push what they said they'd do onto their patient." I said bitterly as I eyed the gauze wrap hanging loosely around my wrist. Barely, that is.

"Look I got a surprise date like right now. You're not a kid anymore. Do it yourself."

What? This bastard is leaving me after some chick called him out last minute!

Immediately my heart got off its anxious school girl high and beat faster as a painful anxiety feeling took over.

"Fullmetal I gotta head out. Make sure you lock up when you leave."

I felt my chest squeeze tighter as my eyes merely followed his back as he grabbed his jacket and walked away.

That's what I wanted to say but my pride wouldn't let me open my mouth as the words clawed at my tongue.

But by the time I heard myself say it, it was too late. My tiny voice couldn't have been heard by anyone.

I felt heat rush from the tight knot in my stomach up to my golden hairline.

Shit…

(FMA FANS!) So yeah… yay. A fanfic for Royed. I'm sorry it I made Roy an Arsehole… but it's needed to set some feels. So I will honestly say I will piss a lot of people off with my crap-nasty tom-foolery! Cause I'm such fandom trash. Mwahaha! Chapter two will be posted soon-ish. Thanks for whatever support that exists in this realm of the internet!

I might pick it back up later when my confidence builds. So for now its gonna be saved for later. Honestly It might be going somewhere. And as my own experience builds I'll re-write it and add to it!
