Yet another series from me. After all the adventures we have seen Elric brothers get into, have you ever thought about what kind of brother Roy would be? This is my opinion. Read and tell me what you think. No pairings (not yet, at least) and I own nothing except Rachel (and the other OCs of Mustang family).

Roy Mustang: 14
Maes Hughes: 15

Maes Hughes couldn't believe his luck.

Sure it had been hard at first, being new to it has he was. He could not believe how Roy made it look so easy. But after all the stuttering, blushing and gulping, he had finally done it.

And the girl said yes!

So that's why Maes was now there, walking on the street with the girl of his dreams, kind, sweet Gracia, heading for the movie theater for their first date. They were going to watch this new romantic comedy of which name Maes didn't remember but which he believed girls liked.

They walked in silence, except for Maes' comment how Gracia looked pretty and Gracia thanking him, both teens blushing slightly.

When they made it to the theater and were just going to enter (Maes holding the door open for his date) he felt his pocket vibrating. Cursing in his mind Maes took out his cell phone and checked who dared to disturb his date. Seeing who it was he apologized to Gracia and answered.

"What is it!" Maes snapped tensely, annoyed from interruption. He could hear some weird clamor from the back ground but didn't quite recognise it.

"Help me." came a breathless answer. Maes frowned, not totally getting it.

"What?"

"It doesn't stop, Maes. I have tried everything but it just keeps it up and I can't make it stop, Maes, I can't!"

Maes could hear how desperate his friend was and could now tell what was going on there. He looked at Gracia who was watching him with a confused look on her face. He turned it over in his head for awhile before sighing and speaking to his frantic friend.

"I'll be there in five minutes" he said before hanging up and sighing again.

Maes Hughes couldn't believe his luck.

After about five minutes (actually less than that) Maes was ringing a door bell of his best friend's house. Almost immediately the door was opened by desperate, frantic and so very tired Roy Mustang. And he had the cause of all that in his arms.

"What took you so damn long!?" Roy demanded as he stepped out of way for Maes to come in.

"Language, Roy." Maes warned him and continued, "Watch who's also in residence." With this he nodded at the little infant Roy was holding and who was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"And, by the way, it's she, not it. She's a human being, just like we are."

Then Maes took the crying baby from Roy and rocked her a bit. He had always been good with little kids as he loved them almost more than anything. The girl started to calm down a little while Roy just watched by.

"I'm the worst big brother ever…" he muttered and let his head trop.

"Oh come on Roy, you know that's not true." Maes tried to cheer his best friend up. "You're just new for this, it will ease with time."

With a heavy sigh Roy lifted his head and gave Maes a faint smile.

"I hope so..." he said, and after awhile added, "Thanks for coming here. I'll make it up to you sometime."

"Hell yeah you will." Maes growled, remembering Gracia's face when he had to leave.

"Language, Maes."
