Here is Chapter 2 of Latch.
Haven't gotten many reviews but I would like to thank my one reviewer ^^ thank you so much! Hopefully this will get more reviews as I go on. But even if it doesn't I am mostly writing this to get it out of my system.
I really struggled to write this chapter, I knew what I wanted to happen, I just didn't know how to put it into words, so I am terribly sorry for the crappy quality. I don't write action scenes so don't expect this story to be very action packed. I also struggled with what town the brothers where going to go to. So sorry for any Inaccuracies this is supposed to kinda go along with the brotherhood series.
WARNINGS WARNING READ THE WARNINGS!: THIS STORY CONTAINS BOY/BOY LOVE BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS EDWARD ELRIC AND ROY MUSTANG OF FMA. ED IS UNDERAGED FOR MOST OF THIS FIC! THERE WILL BE EXPLICIT YAOI SCENES. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THIS PLEASE DO NOT FLAME ME. THERE IS A BACK BUTTON UP THERE TO CLICK OUT OF HERE.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Foolish Games
The trip to the south was uneventful and boring. Ed slept most of the way there, in his usual fashion, stomach exposed.
Al watched him sleep, but his mind was racing with unanswered questions.
"why did brother have to talk to the colonel alone? What is he planning?" Al looked down at his lap "I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid."
"Attention passengers, we are arriving at South city, please gather all your belongings..."
Al looked up at the intercom as it rambled on.
"I suppose I'd better wake brother." Al thought placing his hand on Eds shoulder, shaking him. Ed shot up quickly, his eyes wide with fear.
"NO I WILL NOT DRINK MILK!" Al sweatdropped at his elder brother.
"Ed no one is forcing you to drink milk, we are here." Al said slightly annoyed, pointing his finger out the window, just as South city appeared on the horizion.
Eds eyes followed Als finger out the window and a smile came across his face.
"Good maybe we will finally find some answers here."
oOo
The brothers arrived at the hotel and checked in. The hotel was small and run down, but it would do. Ed opened the door to his room and stared, the room was just as run down as the outside, a single bed, the paint on the walls was peeling, a single window with a chair next to it, and the brothers could hear the faucet leaking from the bathroom.
Ed let his suitcase fall to the ground with a loud thump. Sighing he walked over to his bed and sat down, laying back, Alphonse watching his every move.
"Brother...?" Al asked quietly
"mm yeah Al?" Ed responded
"Why did you go into that room alone with the Colonel before we left?"
Ed sat up looking at his brother, a small blush forming on his face.
"No reason why do you ask?"
"Cause I'm worried about you brother, I know you had to have done something in that room to convince the Colonel to let us go. What did you do?"
Eds face scrunched up in slight agitation. "If you really need to know we made an agreement." He said.
"What kind of agreement?" Al asked, he could feel anger building up inside of him.
"Why does that matter? He let us go didnt he?" It was just then that Al knew, and Ed knew that Al knew. Ed looked ashamed but still determined to not verbally speak it to his younger brother. Until Al angrily asked the words Ed dreaded.
"You made that kind of agreement, didnt you?"
oOo
Hawkeye was angry, very angry, and no one liked to mess with Hawkeye when she was this angry. It was asking to be killed if you messed with her at a time like this.
Everyone in the office avoided Hawkeye the best they could and just let her do her own thing. Just so that it wouldn't be them that she would be pointing her gun at next.
But her hand was twitching at her side, right by her gun holster. Wanting to aim and to shoot, at one certain man.
Said man was smiling and had been all day, completely oblivious to Hawkeyes anger. He was tapping his pencil on his desk and seemed to be in his own world, once again.
"Sir, not to be disrespectful but have you gotten any work done?" Hawkeye gritted out between her teeth.
Roy looked at his first lieutenant, "of course Hawkeye." He said smiling sheepishly, that did it for Hawkeye, she pulled out her gun and pointed it right at her commanding officer.
"Stop lying!"
"Ok! I haven't please don't shoot me!" Roy trembled at his desk, hiding his face from his first lieutenant. Hawkeyes eye twitched and she put the gun away back in its holster, Roy relaxed but not fully cause he knew at any moment she could pull the gun back out and threaten him again.
"I have an update on the Elric brothers." Riza said, her voice still shakey.
"Oh? Well what is it?
"they made it safely to their destination."
"Is that all you needed Lieutenant?" Roy asked, Riza watched him with careful eyes. She had a question that had been nagging at her since Ed and Al had left.
"Sir, permission to speak freely." She asked quietly.
Roy gulped "Permission granted."
"What made you let them go sir?" Riza asked, she didn't want to ask the question cause she already knew the answer, but her heart hoped that it wasnt true.
"FullMetal and I made an agreement that is all." Roy said simply, placing his chin on his folded hands and looking Hawkeye.
Riza felt her heart fall, and she couldnt help herself from going over to the couch and sitting down, holding her head in her hands.
"You ok first lieutenant?" Roy asked, Riza felt sick to her stomach, she already knew the answer she didnt know why she bothered to ask.
"What kind of agreement?" she asked her voice barely above a whisper. Roy took a few minutes to answer, a sly smile across his face.
"two nights."
"two nights." Riza repeated back, she still wasnt looking at the colonel. "Have you lost your mind?" Her eyes traveled up to her comannding officer. Who still had the sly smile on his face.
"When I agreed to keeping your relationship with Edward a secret I didn't agree to you using him just for sex sir."
"Thats all it's been Hawkeye, we don't have feelings for each other. I'm just showing him the ins and outs of it."
"Then you need to stop Sir. You're going to hurt him!"
"hurt him?" Roy started chuckling "as I said before Lieutenant, there's no emotional attachment here. Just sex, thats it."
Riza was shaking, she felt disgusted. "permission to leave sir?" She asked her voice trembling. She knew what she had to do.
Roys sly smile did not falter "Permission granted first lieutenant." Hawkeye stood, bowing low before turning and taking leave.
She leaned against the door of Mustangs office. 'Maybe Hughes can talk some sense into him."
oOo
"I cant believe you brother!" Al yelled, making the elder brother wince.
"I told you I would get your body back at all costs, Al." Ed said angrily. Als red glowing eyes seemed to glare at him.
"But I didn't want you to sell your self like this, this is getting out of hand!" Al yelled, Ed stood from the bed, his fists clenched to his sides, glaring at his suit of armor brother.
"I wish you could see it brother, he is using you!" Al was desperate to make Ed see what he was doing.
"Shut up Al! I don't care!"
"so you don't care if he uses you and then tosses you away when the next greatest thing comes along?"
"Why should I care?" Ed asked quietly "Its just sex nothing else." But Al could see it in his brothers eyes, the hurt and confusion. Al looked down, he knew there was no convincing his brother to stop, he was too stubborn and hot-headed.
"Fine, if you wont listen to me, you will just have to find out for yourself." Al sighed in defeat, sitting down in the chair next to the window.
Ed flipped over to his side so that he wasn't facing his younger brother. "Whatever Al, goodnight." He said, he was angry, but also ashamed of himself, because in his heart, he knew Al was right.

OSA: Alright I'm going to end there, I know it was short and I am terribly sorry. The next chapter will be longer I promise! I lost electricity for a month and therefore couldn't continue writing chapter two and this is basically what I came back to when I finally got my electricity back. I struggle with picking up a chapter after a long time of not writing it and continuing off. Thats why I decided to end this chapter here. I will probably start writing chapter 3 tonight after I post this and hopefully next week or the week after I will have it ready to be posted.
