Chapter 1.

The Golden Boy

'This seriously the most boring day of my life' 19 year old Roy Mustang thought as he gazed lazily forward at the teacher of his science class. Not paying any real attention to the teacher as he once again started to explain painfully obvious things to the 'slower' people in the class in his low lazy voice. That man could make anything sound boring. If Jesus himself were to ascend once again upon the earth and not even the pope would care if were the one to inform him.

He doodled mindlessly on the resent pass-out sheet that was administered to each student for homework to be done later that night. Roy really loved science. It fascinated him. So it took a very special kill-joy to be able to turn his favorite subject into his most boring class.

With a long sigh, he let his head fall to his desk. while he was wondering lazily what he would have for lunch, and why his best friend, Maes, kept throwing paper notes at him "I'm bored! Entertain me!" Maes whispered to Roy with a grin. Roy just rolled his eyes and shot him a death glare, turning back straight in his seat, lowering it to the desk once again. Suddenly, there was a light knock at the door, causing the teacher to stop talking (Thank God!) and every student, including Roy, to look towards the door.

Mr. Coffen slowly made his way over to the door and opening it. Reveling a woman, 26-28 years old. Light brown hair pulled back into a tight bun. Straight across bangs hung over her forehead, leading down into blue/green eyes. Small frame dressed in a dark brown pencil skirt and white button down shirt. All in all, she was a rather good looking women. She was also the schools principal.

" Ms. Anderson. Welcome. What brings you here?" spoke to her. She gave a soft smile

"Thank you Aaron. Actually, I'm here to introduce a new addition to your class room. You remember the new student I told you of?" She replied in a kind but stern voice. Mr. Coffen nodded. The entire class room was a buzz with chatting now at the word of a new student.

"Who do you think it is? Do you think it's a girl? Do you think she's hot? Do you think she'll like me?" Roy's Friend, Jean rambled to him from the desk behind him. Maes threw a paper at him to shut him up and they both started talking together about the mystery person. Roy sat, head up now, staring at the door where the to adults stood.

" of course I do. Where is he?" questioned. Oh. So it was a He. Too bad for Jean then. The room was even more taken over by chatter at the mention of 'he'.

"He's right here." she confirmed, stepping aside. The boy took this as a sign to enter the room now. Taking a careful step across the threshold that was the doorway, he walked in, turned toward the class and just stared at them nervously. All conversation slid to a quick halt as the student body before him laid eyes upon this boy.

"..uhh...he-hey..I'm.. Edward." Ed finally got out with a sheepish wave of his hand. Suddenly feeling more nervous, and his voice showed it.

Roy starred at the boy at the front of the class. Long hair blonde, a shade that surly the sun must envy, pulled back into a high ponytail, with loose, almost messy bangs framing his face. Skin, a creamy tanned golden color. Almost glowing. His body, even though it might be rather feminine and small, was very strong looking, broad shoulders, shapely hips and very nice legs. Edwards current clothes consisted of a simple black T-shirt with a band logo on it, long sleeved dark red under shirt, Dark wash and faded skinny jeans that clung to his body quite nicely, and a pair of black and white converse shoes.

Edwards shy gaze met Roy's for a split second, and Roy almost, almost!, gasped out loud.

They were easily the most beautiful pair of eyes he had ever seen. Large and amber colored, wrapped in a amazing, soft golden glow. Now, even though Roy had managed to control him self enough not to gasp, he did, however, Gape at the blonde. This, in turn, caused said blonde to blush a brilliant pink and divert his golden eyes quickly from the midnight black ones. Roy almost smiled.

Mr. Coffen shut the class room door once again after Ms. Anderson gave Edward thumbs up. Edward almost laughed. Who even does that anymore? slowly walked over to his desk, giving Ed a pat on the back as he walked by, nearly giving Ed a heart attack, and sat at his desk.

"Why don't you tell us about yourself Edward?" Mr. Coffen ask in his lazy tone, taking off his square shaped glassed and cleaning them on his shirt only to place them back on his nose once demed clean by him. Ed nodded and took a deep breath. ' ok...here goes nothing..' Ed thought to himself.

" ..yeah..ok..well my names Edward..Edward Elric. I just recently moved here to Central with my Dad and younger brother when my dad got a teaching Job at a university in Central." He let out a small sigh, relaxing a bit.

" I'm 17 years old. I'm originally from a really small town called Resembool, but you probably all never heard of it.." He said with a small smile. Roy was currently tell him friends to 'shut it' so he could hear the younger blonde talk. He didn't know what it was about the boy, maybe just because he's new, but Roy wanted to learn everything he could from him. Plus, he liked his voice. A bit high but still strong. Almost as if he's commanding you to listen to him. Or was that just Roy?...

Edward struggled for a moment, putting on a thinking face. "I don't really know what else to say.." Ed trailed off as he looked to the teacher for help. Said teacher nodded and turned to the class.

" Does anyone have any questions for here before we start our lesson again?" Mr. Coffen said, waving his hand in Edwards direction. Many hand shot up in the air. Ed froze as he looked from person to person. 'What are they gonna ask?'

" Just point to them and they'll ask." offered. Ed slowly nodded and pointed to a short brown haired girl at random.

"What's your favorite color?" She asked in her squeaky voice. Edward let out a sigh. Good. Easy questions. He can handle this.

"Red." Ed said simply. The girl nodded and sat down. After a few more questions of is favorite this and that and random ones like if he ever milked a cow. A girl even asked if he had a girlfriend, to which Edward blushed and said No. Then a boy asked if he had a boyfriend. Ed blushed more and shock his head and said no quickly. Then came the question that Ed hoped no one would ask.

"You said that you moved here with your Father and Brother. I was just wondering, did your Mom decide to stay home or something?" A girl with long red hair pulled into pigtails asked innocently. Edward's body stiffened and his eyes went wide and then he looked down at the floor. A feeling of sadness and uneasiness flew over him.

Roy, who had been watching Edward closely felt a pang of sympathy go off somewhere inside him. ' there must be a reason he doesn't want to talk about his mother. Stupid girl for asking it! He was just started to loosen up to.' Roy thought bitterly as he shot the Red headed girl a glare. Mr. Coffen noticed Edwards reaction and stood from his desk.

"Alright. That's enough questions now. I still have class to teach and you have to lean." He stated with a nod. Edward let out a quite sigh of relief and turned to the teacher and smiled and gave him a nod of thanks. The teacher nodded back.

"you may take a seat now Edward. Just listen though this lesson. I'll give you your needed books after class to help you catch up." Ed nodded, turning towards the students once again. Looking around at all the spots he could sit.

"Where do I sit?" Ed questioned nervously, suddenly a bit afraid to be near these people.

" Where ever you'd like. There's no real setting arrangement. Just pick" Mr. Coffen said with a slight way of his hand as if to 'shoo' Edward away. Ed bite his lip, chewing it. 'Big help he was!' Ed thought bitterly of his new teacher. He already didn't like him. Suddenly a student rose his hand in the air.

"He can sit next to me. There's a free seat right here." Roy Said with a smile, gesturing towards the vacant desk to his right. Realization slapped him in the face when he thought of what he just did.'why the hell did I just offer the new kid a set next to me? I must be insane' Roy thought. It was almost as if he was possessed for a moment there.

He just sat quietly back in his seat. Upon looking up, he found himself in a golden shocked gaze. Edward blushed slightly and nodded again, quickly walking to the seat next to Roy, trying to ignore the stares and whispers surrounding him. Sitting down quietly, placing his hands in his lap. Not really knowing what to say as he felt this guy, who he didn't know yet, looking at him. He cleared his throat and turned to him.

"Thanks for...umm..letting me sit here.." Ed whispered to Roy, giving him a weak smile.

" My pleasure, 'New Kid'.." Roy smirked, stressing Edwards title. Ed just rolled his eyes, shaking his head back and forth, making his hair flutter around him. Roy was momentarily distracted.

"The names 'Edward'. But I guess you already knew that. Or were you not paying attention?" Edward gave a small snort. Roy raised a amused eyebrow.

"Oh I was. Worry not Edward." Roy sounded out the younger teens name suggestively, earning himself a nice blush. Ed huffed and Roy smirked, reaching out his hand toward Ed to shake.

"My names Roy." he said with a small smile as golden eyes gazed widely at him and a shaky tanned hand slipped into a study pale one. They both tried to ignore the sudden and confusing feeling of warmth shooting through both there arms, sending a small jolt through Edward as they shook hands. There hands broke. The warmth faded. Ed smiled at him.

" In that case, it's very nice to meet you Roy." Ed grinned as he mocked Roy's suggestive tone he used earlier. Roy smirked at him.

"Likewise I'm sure." Roy said slowly, studding the blonde boy for a moment before turning his gaze back to the teacher, whom, was once again talking it that sleepy tone. Edward went back to being quite. In a lazily way he used his finger to trace circles on his desk top, a small pout forming on his lips.

Roy couldn't help himself from glancing at the blonde beside him every few minutes.

Soon enough the bell sounded. signaling for the students to leave for there next class.
