This was delayed a bit longer than I had hoped because I was suddenly bombarded with loads of homework and coursework and it was a bit of an overload to try to get this written.
A bit of M rated stuff in this. If you don't want to read that, just skip the italics. It should still make sense anyway. :)
Read, review and enjoy! Hope you like it! :D
I, unfortunately, do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of the characters I have used in this story. If I owned it there would be a LOT of Roy x Ed in it... ;)
When It All Falls Apart; Part 2
As Ed prepared to go to bed and get some sleep for the next day of work, he began to dread what may await him in his dreams. Strangely though, there was a hint of excitement amongst the fear. His dreams had all been very similar recently and the content was not something he was used to... and he was fairly sure it was not exactly normal. Since his and Al's mother had died when Ed was nine years old and he had not been to school since then, he had never really been taught about what happens when you grown up. He didn't know what was normal and what wasn't. Generally nothing of the sort had happened during his travels with his brother, possibly because he had been far too busy studying and trying to return Al's body to normal to even consider things like that. Now, however, the dreams had started and he didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't ask his brother because 1) he was the older one so he was supposed to know this stuff not the other way around and 2) he wouldn't have any idea either. All he could really do was just bear with it and hope it would go away soon. With that thought in mind, Edward slipped under his duvet and squirmed around a bit to get comfortable. He had been hoping to at least postpone it a little but he was exhausted after his day at work. He was the youngest ever state alchemist after all; that's a tough job. Only a few minutes after he lay down and he was already asleep.
Tonight's dream found the little major in the Flame Alchemist's office waiting for his verdict on the latest report he had handed in. He had been sitting in the same place for about ten minutes already so he was beginning to get impatient.
"Hey! Colonel Bastard! How long is this going to take? Can't I just go home and you can tell me tomorrow?" The blonde yelled in that obnoxious way of his that barely disguised what was actually just whining.
"I'll only be a few more minutes so just sit there and shut up, would you?" Mustang replied in an irritated tone. This was clearly not the first time Fullmetal had complained. The teen huffed and returned to sitting and doing nothing.
Shortly after, Flame rose from his seat and walked over to the couch where Edward was sitting. He sat down beside him but made no move to begin his feedback of the report, he merely observed the boy in front of him. Then, with no warning, he leaned forward and captured the young man's lips with his own. Ed did not respond at first due to the shock of it all but soon he began to reciprocate the kiss and it turned more passionate. The blonde's hands moved to grip raven locks, pulling the older man closer to himself if that was even possible. Mustang's hands rested on the teen's hips, also pulling him nearer. Roy then swiped his tongue across the boy's lower lip in a wordless request for entry to the hot cavern that was Edward's mouth. This request was quickly approved as the boy's mouth opened, eagerly allowing the Flame Alchemist access. The kiss continued only becoming more and more passionate until they pulled apart, both gasping for air. They were flushed and Roy couldn't help thinking that the Elder Elric looked absolutely adorable with that bright red blush covering his face with an innocent expression of surprise, pleasure and confusion. Edward, however, was thinking about how vulnerable and unbelievably sexy the colonel looked with red cheeks, swollen lips and lust filled eyes.
After a short break to regain air, Mustang's began to roam the younger man's body. Starting by removing the band from his hair to let it fall loose upon his shoulders and running his fingers through it, admiring how soft and shiny it was, his hands then lowered and explored the teen's chest, stomach and eventually reached the hem of the major's black vest top. He lifted the shirt over the boy's head, throwing it somewhere on the floor; neither of them knew where as they were focused on other things, like how Roy was tracing Edward's abs with his tongue. The blonde tried to suppress the moan that rose up his throat at the actions the colonel was performing but a whimper of pleasure still escaped him.
"Don't hold back Edward. I want to hear you moan with that delicious voice of yours." Mustang purred seductively in his ear, hot breath playing across tanned skin. He lightly bit the teen's earlobe eliciting a quiet moan from him. He nibbled and nipped at the boy's ear before moving lower and gently biting and licking a sensitive spot on his neck. Ed gave a loud moan that sent a wave of arousal straight through the colonel. He continued his journey downwards, fondling the young alchemist's rapidly hardening nipples. Not the only part of the boy's anatomy that was quickly hardening... Lower still and Roy was unbuttoning the other man's pants with his teeth, clearly experienced at it. Edward was not wearing an underwear and while this was strange, it was a dream so it didn't really matter. That and the fact that he could feel the flame alchemist's hot breath on his dick caused him to forget the matter very quickly. He heard a very loud, needy moan and realised a few seconds afterwards that he was the one that had released such a noise. It made him blush even darker.
"You look adorable when you blush and you look amazing like this; writhing under me, moaning, blushing, eyes filled with lust, panting, naked, desperate for me..." Roy breathed into Edward's ear making him moan and arch himself up into the older man. Their cocks touched through Mustang's pants earning loud moans from both of them.
"Mustang! Hurry up and do something!" Edward groaned, bucking his hips up again to try to find more of the delicious friction he had just encountered.
"Hmm... Do what, Fullmetal?" Roy smirked.
"What do you think Bastard?!" The young man tried to yell but it was too breathy to sound like a yell.
"I want you to tell me." Mustang replied. Ed glare at him, knowing that Roy just wanted to humiliate him and take advantage of the power he had over him but it was hard to resist in this situation.
"I... I want you to... I want you to have sex with me..." He mumbled to the man above him, embarrassed beyond belief and the blush was becoming even brighter, if that was possible.
Roy could not take his eyes off of the unbelievably erotic sight before him. Edward was sprawled under him on the couch of his office, cheeks bright red with embarrassment, completely at his mercy, lips swollen from their passionate make out session, automail glinting in the limited light and the rest of his gorgeous body shimmering with sweat from his arousal. His golden hair was splaying out around this head, messy from their activities. He dipped his head down towards the younger's groin and engulfed his member in the hot cavern that was Roy's mouth. Ed didn't stand a chance at suppressing the moan that escaped him, it was so loud. He couldn't believe how good it felt. He'd never felt this kind of pleasure before! (1) He continued to pant and moan helplessly as Mustang increased his pace and he felt an incredible heat and a weird sensation somewhere in his lower torso. He had a vague idea what it meant...
"M- Mustang... I think I'm going... to come..." Edward shouted.
"Not Mustang. Call me Roy. I want to hear you call my name," Roy leaned in towards Fullmetal's ear, "Edward." This pushed Ed over the edge and he came explosively.
"ROY!"
Edward sat bolt upright in his bed, gasping for breath. 'What the hell?! Again?! Why do I keep having these kinds of dreams?' He pondered this briefly before he noticed the uncomfortable dampness that was in his boxers. 'Oh no... Guess I'll be having a shower this morning then.' He slowly got out of bed and shuffled to the shower, grabbing a towel on his way. He decided a cold shower was probably a good idea so he got in and washed himself and his hair as quickly as possible before he caught hypothermia. He dried himself off and rubbed the towel over his hair to dry it off at least a little before he left for work. 'It's a good thing Al's in Risembool with Winry now or he'd definitely know something is wrong...'
Al and Winry had started going out soon after Al got his body back to normal. Ed was happy for them but he couldn't help missing his little brother and feeling very lonely sometimes now that Al was gone and he was alone.
He dressed in his uniform and made his way to the kitchen to make himself some breakfast. In the end, he settled for a piece of toast with jam and sat down at the table to eat it. When he had finished he returned to the bathroom to braid his hair before leaving the house for another day's work.
When It All Falls Apart
This lunchtime, instead of being in the canteen with the his military colleagues, Edward could be found standing awkwardly outside Colonel Mustang's office. He was trying to decide whether or not to knock on the door and talk to the man about the damn dreams. He'd been considering it all morning, consequenting in him getting very little paperwork done at all. The man had said that he was there or him if he ever needed to talk, right? Well he did. He needed to know if these dreams were a normal stage of growing up and since Mustang was in his twenties, he would surely know. He figured that as long as he didn't mention too many details, especially names, it couldn't go too badly... right? He was fully aware that the flame alchemist would almost definitely laugh at him for even asking to talk but he knew the colonel well enough to know that if he said he'd do something, he'd sure as hell do it. Even if he made fun of the little alchemist first.
He hesitantly raised a hand to knock on the door before him that had never looked so scary. Gathering all of his courage, he knocked lightly on the wood and waited. The thought occurred that perhaps he had knocked so lightly that he hadn't been heard but a few minutes later he heard a yelled 'Come in!' from the other side. Using every ounce of will power that he could summon, he twisted the handle and opened the door that separated him from the man who had been haunting his dreams for the few weeks. Roy Mustang was sitting at his desk, stacks of paperwork surrounding him and a pen resting a few inches away from his hand. He was looking at Edward with confusion but also the ever present hint of amusement and smugness. Ed couldn't help finding his border-line arrogant self confidence quite sexy and it caused his mind to remember the very commanding Roy his dreams. A prominent blush rose to face.
"Good afternoon Fullmetal. I don't recall asking to see you today." The colonel greeted resulting in Fullmetal shuffled nervously.
"You didn't. I... err... I wanted to ask if... if you meant what you said... the other day. You know, about being able to... err... talk to you..." The young alchemist mumbled. The Flame alchemist looked surprised for a moment before regaining his composure. Mostly. A light blush was dusting his cheeks which made Edward feel better about it. At least Mustang was embarrassed about it too; probably because he'd said so many caring things which was unusual for him.
"Well... err... yeah. I did. Don't go spreading it around though! I'm not some damn agony aunt or something." Roy replied, yelling towards the end in order to try to regain some normalcy in the situation and causing Edward to smile a little and chuckle.
"In that case, are you busy? Now, I mean." The teen asked cautiously, expecting some kind of mockery any minute now.
"Not at all. I've got all this damn paperwork and I would love a reason not to do it." The older male replied, standing up from his desk and moving to sit on the couch and away from the dreaded paperwork that everyone in Central, maybe even Amestris, knew the colonel loathed. "So what do you want?"
"Since Al and I never really had a father and our mother died when we were still quite young, we were never really taught about... the things that happen when you... you know, grow up..."
"You? Grow up? I really don't think that's going to be a problem." Mustang responded smirking.
"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU NEED A MAGNIFYING GLASS JUST TO SEE HIM?!" The short-tempered blonde shouted. "You know what? It doesn't matter. I'll just deal with it on my own like everything else. I'm sure there are plenty of books in the library about this kind of thing..." He finished, voice quietening throughout until he was basically just talking to himself while stomping angrily towards the door of the office.
"Hey, hey. Fullmetal. I was just kidding. Sit back down and I'll listen." Roy reassured, still chuckling a little at the boy's predictable response. Ed looked hesitant to return to the couch. He walked slowly back to it and sat down carefully. Now that he'd started, he might as well finish, right?
"Well, you know things... 'change' when you get to a certain age in your teens? I haven't been to school for many years and, without parents, I don't really know about all that stuff so I thought you could maybe... help me?" Edward explained shyly. As soon as Roy had heard the first sentence he was already dreading this conversation. 'I didn't know I had to give the kid a damn sex talk! If I'd known that I would have said I was busy!'
"That depends what you need help with exactly..." Mustang asked the young man. Ed blushed a little at this before once again collecting his courage and doing his best to explain the situation to the colonel.
"Well, I've been having these dreams. They started about a month or so ago but they're not like dreams I had before. They're... sexual. Is that... normal?" A blush had been steadily rising to the boy's face during this and it was now a bright red that covered almost all of his face. Roy was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected this to be what Ed was worried about.
"Err... Yes, that's perfectly normal. Everyone has the occasional wet dream; that's what it's called when you have a sexual dream. It just shows that you're starting to become interested in the opposite gender in a sexual way." Mustang answered sounding far more confident than he felt about the whole situation. 'Edward's having wet dreams?! About who?!' He thought angrily.
"Ah... That's part of the problem... is it... normal to have these dreams about... another guy?" The teen enquired, a little fearful of the answer. He had a strong feeling that it was probably not normal but he really hoped that Mustang said it was normal. He didn't need or want any other reasons to be considered different. He just wanted to be a normal fifteen year old boy, dammit!
Roy sat in shock for a minute or two. 'Edward is... gay?' He repeated this thought many times in an attempt to correctly process this new information. "That would generally imply that instead of being attracted to women, you are attracted to men. In otherwise, it probably mean that you are gay Edward." He informed the teen in an admirably calm and casual manner.
"What?! I'm gay?! I guess that might make some sense. It would begin to explain why I keep having these dreams about this person and why I find him so damn attractive..." Ed trailed off.
"So there's a specific person then? Well... who is it?" Roy asked in a teasing tone but, in reality, he was very serious. Who was it that had gained the blonde boy's affections? Did he know him? Was it someone in the military?! Havoc perhaps... Jean would be ecstatic if that were true. He'd never actually told anyone but Roy knew that Havoc had a bit of a crush on the young alchemist. Mustang didn't think it was anymore than a shallow attraction to the teen's appearance and maybe a bit of admiration for his extraordinary talent though.
"That doesn't matter. You only needed to know the situation and now we're done. If you tell anyone about this conversation, I will do some VERY cruel things to you. You didn't want children, right?" The young male threatened, an evil glint in his eye.
Roy visibly shuddered at the mere thought but did not give up on the conversation. "I swear I won't tell anyone about it but tell me who it is. Tell me or I'll figure it out myself." The colonel ordered.
"I'm not going to tell you Mustang."
"Come on! Is it someone I know?" Mustang asked.
"No." The elder Elric replied but he couldn't meet his superior's eyes.
"You're lying! I know them! Are they in the military?" Roy continued his interrogation.
"Would you stop interrogating me?! I'm not going to tell you!" Edward yelled.
"Hmm... violent reaction, strong implication that he thinks I'm getting too close to the answer... It really pays to have a best friend in interrogations. You pick up a few things over the years. So it's a guy in the military. I know a lot of the military and I definitely know almost all of the officers you've met so I should be able to narrow it down." The Flame alchemist continued to explain his thought processes to Edward who just sat there in shock and fear as the suspect were narrowed down more and more. "You really don't seem like the shallow type so it would have to be someone you've spent quite a lot of time with, so... one of my team, Lieutenant Brosh... Oh please God don't let it be Armstrong! ("Hell no!": Ed) Hughes? Oh, I really hope not. He's married with a kid, you know, Ed? Or maybe it's me..." Roy finished thoughtfully before laughing a little. "I doubt it. Everyone knows you hate me." He continued, a hint of sadness leaking into his well controlled voice. It was then that Mustang noticed the young major, looking away with a very bright blush on his face. He was sure Edward had still be facing him a minute ago... 'I must have named the right person... It must be Hughes then since there's no chance that it's me.' Roy thought miserably.
"So who is then? Hughes?" Roy taunted the boy, hoping for a suitable reaction to confirm his suspicions but nothing happened. Well, not nothing; Ed gave Mustang a very strange look that clearly meant 'Are you kidding me?' but there was absolutely no sign of his deduction being right.
Flame continued listing names and watching closely for Ed's reactions to each one.
"Not Hughes? How about Havoc? Or maybe Fuery? Like the shy type, huh? No? Falman? He's very intelligent so I'm sure you could have some great conversations though he might be a bit old for you." By this point, Edward was clearly bored of this game and thought that it was not worthy of his lunchtime, especially considering there was only about 15 minutes left of it already. He stood up and began to make his way calmly to the door.
Roy knew that he had to think of something fast because once Edward left the room, this topic would not be up for discussion again. He suspected that the only reason he'd stayed this long as because he was embarrassed and in a vulnerable state at the time, any other time he would have left straight after the useful conversation had finished. Acting on impulse alone, Mustang walked up behind Ed by the door and trapped him against the wall, one hand on the wall to the right of the boy and the other on the door to his left. He leaned forward and whispered in the young alchemist's ear "Or could it be me?"
Edward obviously shivered making the answer very clear to the colonel who gently nipped the ear that he had previously whispered into. This caused the teen to let out a quiet and breathy moan. It was the best sound Roy had ever heard. He grabbed Edward's shoulder and turned him around before placing a hand on the back of his head and bringing him in to a deep and passionate kiss. Ed returned the kiss with equal enthusiasm though considerably less experience.
Mustang pulled away from Ed and said "So it's me that you like then?"
"Yes, of course it's you Mustang." Edward replied, a little out of breath.
"Ah, ah, ah." Roy tutted. "I'm not Mustang anymore. You call me Roy from now on."
"Ok... Roy... You have to call me Ed or Edward then." Ed countered, a slight blush reappearing on his face.
"Ok then Ed." Roy obeyed, placing a quick kiss on the younger male lips.
"Mu- Roy... I think I might love you." Edward confessed, the blush brightening tenfold.
Roy gently kissed the teen's forehead and drawing him into a hug before beginning to kiss his golden hair. "Edward, I know I love you."
When It All Falls Apart
(1) He doesn't remember his previous dreams during his current dream.
Yay! This took me ages! Sorry or the wait but I think it turned out pretty cute so hopefully it was worth it. :D
