Love-

A low moan passed from between the blonde alchemist's lips, expressing both pain and pleasure at the same time as Roy Mustang pressed into him. The latter was leaning rather awkwardly down over Edward's body, whispering soothingly in his ear as he adjusted to the new sensation.

Honey-coloured bangs clung to his face, while the rest of the tresses were spread out over the pillow beneath him, the hair tie that used to hold them in place long forgotten. His breaths were coming in rasps, his already sweat-sheened body shaking slightly. His raven-haired lover pet gently at his skin, still murmuring in his ear comfortingly.

"Okay," he breathed, indicating that he was ready to continue.

"Are you sure?" Roy asked softly, earning a growl from the younger alchemist beneath him.

"Just move."

Roy complied, starting to pump slowly in and out of the smaller body. Another growl was heard beneath him. He made a small noise of recognition, and began to speed up his pace.

It was amazing, the taller man reflected, that he knew the little alchemist so well that he could even interpret Edward's non-speech noises. As far as he was aware, only he and the younger Elric knew how to do that.

This spurred an oddly possessive feeling in him, and he leaned down to nip at the blonde's neck, placing his mouth over the slightly reddened skin a second later and sucking hungrily. When he pulled away, there was a mark there that would be sure to last for at least a week.

A displeased noise from below him implied that he must have stopped moving, and he leaned down and kissed Ed's lips softly in apology, and picked up the pace again. The delicious friction drew a long, pleasured groan from between Roy's lips, and he looked down to see Ed fighting to stay silent.

For someone who was so very vocal and outright loud everywhere else, the golden-eyed teen was always rather quiet during sex. Must be all that pride, Mustang decided.

Feeling himself nearing completion, he reached down between his lover and himself, stroking Edward's very obvious need. Seconds later, the burning in his stomach intensified, and he saw all white for a moment. He heard the blonde beneath him give a hoarse cry, meaning that he had finished shortly after Roy.

Amidst heavy breathing and the hazy aftermath of orgasm, Roy pulled out and rolled over to lie next to the small body that was previously beneath him. He wrapped his arms around Ed's waist and tugged the boy close to him, kissing the nape of his neck and whispering softly into his ear.

"I love you, Ed."

There was no response for a moment, just a tiny yawn from his lover. It figured that he would be tired, Roy mused, unable to hold back the slight smile that took up residence on his face as he settled down against his pillow and closed his eyes. Then, faintly, he heard Edward's voice.

"Love you too."


A/N: Yeah, so I decided to make it into a series of love/hate drabbles. This one is dedicated to my friend Amanda, who has recently turned anime fangirl.

Review, yeah?
