Chapter I: Reminiscing in the past

A soft smile spread across Edward's face as he gazed down at Joseph. Such a fragile young person. So full of life and curiosity, I wonder if it is even a good idea to tell him everything. Regarding the thought, Ed calmly stared at Joseph; the way the boy fiddled around nervously in his seat reminded Edward of Him. After a couple of minuets Joseph cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Um…" muttered Joseph "Could you stop that. It's making me feel very nervous."

Looking away from him, Edward began to stare at the candles around him.

"Does it bother you when I look at you. You seem startled?" Asked Edward

"Well, no," Stuttered Joseph "well, not really anyway…"

"I'm sorry," Apologized Edward "it's just you act like him."

"Who?" Asked Joseph, in eager curiosity.

"Roy." Whispered Edward

"Come again?" Said Joseph, somewhat confused.

"Oh nothing, never mind." Smiled Edward "So shall we start?"

"Yeah lets!" said Joseph excitedly.

As Joseph began to fumble around for the tape recorder and balancing the notebook and cigarette in his mouth, Edward couldn't help but smile again as he watch Joseph scurry around like that. Eyes growing misty with tears, Edward finally looked away from him. Twelve years…have I really been gone that long Roy? Seems like an eternity, no…it is an eternity. Why does this boy remind me so much of you…why? Staring at the burning candles Ed began to lose himself inside memory, the only thing that kept him going.

"What are you doing?" Edward asked

Roy rummaged around in the desk drawers, slamming them shut and scratching his head in frustration. Then flipping through the files in front of him.

"I lost it." Muttered Roy under his breath

"Lost what Roy?" Asked Edward, moving closer to his lover.

"A paper that I was suppose to sign, but I can't find it. Damn it." Stated Roy.

"What did it say on it?" Asked Edward picking up one of the papers that had fallen to the ground.

"Well, it was nothing important, it just needed my signature on it is all." Muttered Roy, who looked away.

"If it not important then why do you need it?" Asked Edward straightening up, before saying "Were going to lose our reservations if were any later Roy. What's on it really Roy."

Roy stopped what he was doing and looked at Ed. He saw the anger boiling up in his lover, smiling he grabbed his chin and leaned down brushing his lips against his.

"The paper has the location of the restaurant and the time for it." Roy said nervously "But I can't remember where I put it."

"Your useless." Sighed Edward "You could have told me. You should have given it to me, I would of held onto it."

"Yeah well," Said Roy "I never thought of that."

"Obviously." Muttered Ed, who sat back down in the chair. And watched as Roy began to look some more. After a few minuets Roy declared defeat.

"Well I give up." Sighed Roy "Let's just go home and sleep, who needs food?"

Heaving in a sigh Roy leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes then exhaling. Getting up Ed walked over to him, wrapping his arms around him he straddled him. Opening one of his eyes, Roy smiled and placed a hand on Ed's shoulders.

"Sorry," He whispered softly "I should have given it to you."

"Don't worry about it." Whispered Edward, reaching over Roy's head and grabbing a few papers.

"No really," Said Roy "I should of-"

"Don't worry about it." Repeated Edward looking at one of the papers and smiling.

"But I had the whole evening planned out and the dinner reservations just blew the whole thing off, and you took time off work to come be with me." Started Roy "And now-"

Flashing a piece of paper in front of him, Ed handed the paper to Roy. Reaching for the paper Roy put on the glasses that were in his shirt pocket and began to read. It was the reservation. And the time was 7:00

Looking over at the clock it was now 7:45. Looking at Ed with a nervous smile Roy spoke.

"Well dinner is out of the question then right?" He said nervously
"Yes, well we can just go home and sleep. Who needs food right?" Smiled Ed jumping off his lover and walking toward the door before saying "I'm tired anyway, let's go home eh, Roy?"

"Yeah, let's go home Ed." Said Roy softly, getting up from his chair and walking out the door with Edward.

"Aha!" Exclaimed Joseph "I found it!"

Snapping out his thoughts Edward looked over at Joseph with a smile. Joseph looked somewhat out of place but indeed look alright. Laughing in spite of himself Joseph began to rearrange himself.

"So yeah," began Joseph with a smile "How's the weather?"

Laughing at the comment, Edward said "Quite alright thank you."

"Well," Said Joseph warmly "We can start where ever and when ever you want Ed, but just make sure everything you tell me is true alright."

"Can you handle the truth Joseph?" Asked Edward "'Cause you know it's not always what you think it is."

"Well I'll bare with it then." Smiled Joseph "I can take it."

Smiling at him, Edward placed a hand on his thigh and said;

"I'll tell you everything you need to know, other than that don't push the matter."

Nodding his head Joseph pressed record and began to speak.
"What's your name?"

"Edward Elric."

"When were you born?"

"January 9."

"Wow, uh how old are you?"

"30."

"Where were you born?"

"East of Central in a town named Resembool."

"Siblings?"

"Yes, a younger brother named Alphonse."

"Where is he now?"

"I really don't know."

Turning off the recorder, Joseph looked back at Edward.

"Let's start with your childhood shall we?"

"Yes let's start then."
