No Lying Allowed
Chapter Two: An Interesting Story
I'm baaack! With more of Roy and Edward! Now you will finally see what happens! Includes some Ed/Win fluff. (So cute…) Ok, well enough talk. Read and review, as always.
Thank you, THANK YOU to the four kind people who reviewed! Especially RenofAmestris. I will be answering your question in here (almost…).
Disclaimer: I do not and never will own any of the awesomeness that is the Fullmetal Alchemist series (sigh…)

Flashback
"Well, it's the truth. And then we discussed…"
The colonel's voice had now turned predatory. "What did you discuss, Fullmetal? I want every…little…detail. Now."
Edward sighed in resignation. "Umm…"
"I'm waiting, Fullmetal."
Edward's voice burst out in a rush of words. "We talked about our relationship."
Silence.
Winry's cheeks burned. She knew she was blushing. Edward had to tell Roy about what they talked about. And what they did afterwards. Oh, man. This would get really embarrassing, really soon.
End Flashback
Silence echoed throughout the whole office.
If Edward and Winry could have seen each other, they would have known that they had the same identical blushing face, embarrassed eyes and anxious expression. Upon hearing what Edward had just said, Breda, Fuery, Havoc and Falman had reacted in their own little ways.
Breda had first appeared shocked, and then he struggled to hold in his laughter. Fuery had turned beet red, looking embarrassed about what he just heard. Havoc and Falman had reacted somewhat more mildly. Falman had the same almost stony expression, but Havoc looked…envious. After all, it was widely known that Havoc had horrible luck with women. Right after Edward's confession, Havoc had muttered, "Good for you, chief."
And Roy? Well, Roy reacted in his own little way. After he had processed what Edward had said, he felt at first a little embarrassed. Then he smirked while trying not to chuckle. Edward had appeared incensed at Roy's reaction. He clenched the arms of his chair and waited.
Roy, while still smirking, said, "Well, Fullmetal…why don't you tell me about it."
"NO!" Edward shouted, standing up furiously.
"Do you want me to draw all over your face with permanent marker, Fullmetal? Remember, you will have to walk around for a week…with it on," taunted Mustang, referring to the rules of the bet they had agreed on.
Edward tightly shut his eyes and groaned. With a grumble, he sat back down and said, "Okay…"
Roy smirked again and said, "Well?"
"Umm…well…first, Winry asked if I had any girlfriends. I said no, and then I wondered why she had on this weird expression on her face, as if…umm…well, then she asked if I had any feelings for anyone. Well…I did, but not just anyone. I told her that. And she said…well, she said…"
Flashback
"Do you have feelings for anyone, Ed?" Winry asked cautiously.
Edward blushed. "Umm…yeah. But not just anyone."
Winry prodded him further, asking, "Who?" She really wanted to know, for reasons of her own. She waited impatiently.
"The girl might not like me back, so…I don't wanna tell. Okay?" He said desperately.
"Please tell! I won't spill the beans to anyone, I promise!"
"Okay…umm…"
"Please!"
"The girl might just possibly hit me with a wrench if I tell her I love her…" Edward hinted.
Winry's eyes widened. Her heart was beating wildly and she felt like she might faint. Does he really have feelings for me…? She thought dizzily. Across from her, Edward sat nervously, watching her with cautious eyes. He seemed a little bit embarrassed about his confession, but determined. Winry gasped several times before saying, "Edward! Of course I won't hit you with a wrench!"
Edward let all of his pent-up breath out at once, sighing in relief. "Good. I really was worried, you know. I remember one time I accidentally touched your…boob, and you nearly knocked me over to the west side of Resembool! I didn't want to chance that again, Winry." He eyed her warily, still on the alert.
Winry's eyes narrowed at this unpleasant memory (for her, at least. Edward seemed to enjoy it for a split second!) But she was still caught up with what Edward had said. She didn't knock him out, or yell, or turn red with embarrassment. Instead, she did something that completely surprised them both. She leaned over the table and gently caught up Edward's lips with a kiss. It lasted for a few seconds, and then she softly pulled away when she was done. She had to say, she rather liked the blush that spread itself across Edward's cheeks.
"Winry…I – you – I mean to say, that – "
Winry laughed softly. She whispered, "Edward, hush. I love you too. Just please, kiss me again. I love the feel of your lips." Edward turned even pinker with this, but he leaned over and kissed her again. This time he dragged his tongue gently against her lips and she understood the message. Once she opened up for him, he explored her mouth, tasting all that was his now…
End Flashback
No matter how much Roy hid his embarrassment and shock last time, now he couldn't. His mouth hung open. Edward was telling him everything about his date…every detail, every sensation. Of course, Roy had specifically asked him to say it, but…this was, this caught him completely off guard. He struggled to hide his blush.
Finally, Edward had finished. His eyes were on the floor, looking at no one. He seemed too embarrassed for words.
Roy cleared his throat to break the tension in the room. He looked at Fullmetal warily and said, "Well, it was obvious that you were telling the truth. Umm…thanks, for that."
Edward snapped, "Well, it was part of the bet. I'm not gonna lie."
Suddenly Mustang looked at his watch. His eyes widened and he said, "Oh, Fullmetal. My time is up. Your turn to ask me questions." He sighed in anticipation and said, "Shoot."
Edward shook himself out of his thoughts and refocused his gaze on Mustang. "What? I was kinda out of it for a minute."
Roy rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Your turn to ask me questions. Okay?"
Edward sat up in his chair suddenly. He grinned mischievously and rubbed his hands together. His eyes glinted. Roy looked at him suspiciously. "What are you up to, Fullmetal?"
Ed drew in a deep breath and let it all out, yelling, "YES! PAYBACK!" Roy looked a little scared. Ed smirked evilly.
"Okay, bastard colonel, now it's your turn to get embarrassed. Ha!"
Roy 's face turned white with apprehension.
"Okay. Hmm…first. What is your favorite thing to do after work?" Edward asked with a grin on his face.
Roy blushed, color filling his previously white face. "I like to go on dates."
Edward nodded and leaned forward expectantly. "What usually happens before and after those dates?"
Roy looked anxious. "I'm not sure you really wanna know, Fullmetal…"
"Answer the question, bastard."
"Really! Come on, plea-" Suddenly the colonel stopped.
"What were you about to say, Mustang?" Edward asked slowly. He looked like he was really enjoying this, to say the least. Mustang had tortured him, asking a question that deeply concerned Ed's private life. Now Ed would get his revenge. Edward sat back and grinned widely.
"Why do I have to repeat myself?" Roy whined. He almost sounded like a five-year-old.
"Because I asked you a question, and you have to answer. Tell the truth, bastard."
"Okay, fine! I said, 'come on, plea…plea…'" The colonel choked. He couldn't and wouldn't beg to Edward. His pride could not take it. But the terms of the bet weighed over his shoulders, and he finally stuttered out, "…please."
Edward laughed. "You still have to answer my question, Mustang. What usually happens before and after your 'dates'? Describe it just like I did." He sat back, satisfied.
Mustang knew exactly what was happening to him. Just as the saying goes, he was 'getting a taste of his own medicine.' He groaned. Oh, well. All he had to do was win the bet, and then he could get his sweet revenge on that little pipsqueak sitting across the room from him.
He decided to answer the question. "Okay, fine. I'll answer your stupid question. Satisfied, you little shrimp?"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT HE COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR A GRAIN OF SAND?"
Mustang sighed. "I'll just ignore that and answer your question. Okay, this is what happens on one of my dates, in order. I pick up the woman, usually at her house. Then we go to a place to eat. Meanwhile, she's flirting the whole time. Afterwards, we go to my place and…and…you sure you want to know?"
Edward was still indignant from the insult he had to endure. "ANSWER THE QUESTION and stop procrastinating." After a second, he added, "Bastard."
Roy blushed for the tenth time this evening. "We have sex."
Edward seemed to be expecting this kind of answer. It was no secret that the Colonel was a 'womanizer'. The fact was practically known throughout Amestris.
For good measure, Edward added, "You know what, Mustang? If you do that every evening, then you're a man-whore."
Mustang said, irritated, "I only date a few days of the week."
To the people sitting outside, eavesdropping (with the EXCEPTION of Hawkeye) was hilarious. Now that Edward's turn was over, the question-and-answer session had dropped its tension and had adopted a sheepish atmosphere. Breda, Falman, Fuery, Havoc, and Winry were all trying to hold in laughter from the rounds of insults flying from both sides. Silently, Winry giggled. Hawkeye was sitting at her desk, working. Faintly, she could hear parts of Roy and Ed's conversation.
From inside the room, Edward said, "Okay. Next question."
Roy sighed. Silently he thought, now what?
"I just wanted to know…okay, so you said that you date several times a week, right?"
"Got that right."
"And you have sex with the women afterwards?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then, have you ever screwed Hawkeye?"
At first, Roy had no reaction. He was still processing Ed's question. When he finally realized Fullmetal's inquiry, he turned beet red and spluttered, "FULLMETAL!"
Riza Hawkeye heard Roy's shout and looked at the door, concerned. She noticed that the crowd at the door – Havoc, Falman, Breda, Fuery, and Winry – was all looking at her in fear. Silently she stood up and walked over, listening intently. There was no need, because Roy was still yelling.
"OF COURSE NOT! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT-"
"Roy, calm down, it was just a question-"
"I WOULD NEVER-"
"Well then, why? Why haven't you screwed Hawkeye yet?"
For some reason, this shut Roy up. However, it did not have the same effect on Hawkeye. With a bang, the entrance to Roy's office burst open and Hawkeye walked in, looking furious.
Ooooo, what naughty questions Ed is asking Roy! I bet you really wanna know what happens next, dont'cha? Well, reviews really help me write faster! wink wink*
I love cliffhangers!
