Lost and Found- chapter 3
Disclaimer- I don't own.
I stumbled through the doorway, Roy holding the door open for me. "Thanks." I breathed, my heart hammering from being in such close proximity to him. He just smiled his beautiful smile at me and gently closed the door with a soft thud sound. "So, Ed, would you like to watch a movie?"
Images flashed through my mind of acting scared, being snuggled up to his chest on the sofa, and I could feel a sly smile creeping to my lips.
"Sure, that sounds great."I said, "What movies do you have?"I asked, hoping it was a horror movie just so I could have an excuse to be close to him. "Uh... how about... Paranormal Activity?" He said, obviously unsure of whether I liked that sort of movie. Yes! My mind cheered, He picked a horror movie! While my mouth said, "Sure, that sounds great." My mind still brilliantly happy.
"Well, lets stop standing around and go watch the movie then." He said, also looking very happy at the idea of a scared and vulnerable Ed. And with that, we watched Paranormal Activity.
I just didn't consider the fact it might actually scare me. Sure, I had buried my face deeply in to his sweet smelling shirt, but the moment was ruined by the fear coursing through my body like electric currents.
So there I was an hour later, tucked up in bed in his guest bedroom, (We were a bit awkward, and uncomfortably agreed I would sleep in the spare room) tucked up in bed, covers pulled up to my chin and scared shitless. I was like that for a good while, paralysed by fear and thinking I was seeing things in the darkness that smothered me.
Eventually I decided enough was enough. Steeling myself, in one movement I leapt from my bed and sprinted to Roy's room as fat as I could, adrenaline coursing through my veins and making my heart beat at an alarming rate.
When I reached his door I hesitated for a moment, but not for long, because I thought I saw a face face out of the corner of my eye, an evil grin on it's face. Frantically, I turned the knob, simultaneously bursting through the door. I slammed it behind me, then turning around to find Roy reading in bed, looking shocked and confused at the interruption of the peaceful silence that had occupied his room just moments before.
"Ed, what's wro-"
But he didn't get to finish his question, because I had leapt on to the queen sized bed and was now hugging myself to him as closely as was humanly possible. Seeming to understand, he let his book drop to the ground, twisting in to completely engulf me in a tight, warm embrace, holding my shivering form to his body. "It's alright," He cooed, patting my head and rubbing small, soothing circles on my back with his other hand.
"You'll always be safe while I'm with you, I'll protect you no matter what." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. After another immeasurable moment of him holding me and whispering sweet, meaningless, comforting nothings in my ear, he started to sing.
As I went out walking one morning in spring
I met with some travellers in an old country lane
one was an old man, the second a maid,
the third was a young boy who smiled as he said...
I shot a questioning look up at him that clearly said 'What the hell are you doing?' In response he chuckled and said "I know you don't believe in religion, but it's a very soothing christian song my parent used to sing to me as a child, and I thought it might help you get to sleep." Satisfied with his explanation, I snuggled deeper into the covers and pressed my head against his chest once more, letting his deep voice lull me to sleep as he continued from where he was.
With the wind in the willows
and the birds in the sky
and the bright Sun to warm us
wherever we lie
we have bread and fishes
and a jug of red wine
to share on our journey
with all of mankind
And he kept singing long after I fell asleep.
I woke in the morning to the shrill ringing of the phone. "Roy." I said softly, trying to wake him. "What!" He groaned blearily.
"The phone is ringing."
"Then get it yourself."
"But I'm comfy." I complained.
"Edward!" He almost shouted.
"Alright, alright."I said, grumbling as I got out of the warm bed and made my way to the other side of the room where the phone resided on a small table. "Hello?"I said as I pressed the phone to my ear.
"Brother?"
"Al!"I gasped. Shit. I forgot about him completely because I was so overwhelmed with happiness. "So,"He said, and I swear you could hear the smirk in his voice, "I was right to call here."
"But...What... How did you even get this number?"I shouted with incredulity blatant in my voice.
"Don't sound so shocked Ed,"He laughed, "You have the colonels phone number in case of emergencies, and I guessed it went well." I just sputtered, and it only increased when he added in a sly voice, "So, did anything,"He paused for a moment, "interesting happen?"He asked, voice heavy with insinuation.
"ALPHONSE!"I yelled, completely shocked. Everyone always thought Al didn't have a single bone in his body (Or, until recently, a single piece of his armour) that wasn't innocent. They were all just proven wrong. I looked behind me to see Roy, now wide awake, looking interestedly at me because of my yell. Damn, I thought "No, Alphonse, nothing 'interesting' happened"."I hissed as quietly as I could, but still heard snickering coming from across the room. I whipped around to see him staring at me with an eyebrow raised comically.
"Where the hell are you anyway?"I asked, trying to steer the conversation away from the topic that always managed to turn him a lovely shade of tomato red, but still actually concerned as to what had become of his brother the previous evening.
"Oh, well I figured you would probably spend the night at the colonel's, so I got a room at a hostel."
"But where did you even get the money from?"
"You left the money in my suitcase, remember?"
"Oh yeah."I said in an airy voice.
"Honestly brother, you're so air-headed sometimes." I was about to respond angrily when I felt arms wrap around me from behind, and whatever words I was about shoot angrily back were completely forgotten.
"Come back to bed soon, my love."Roy purred, and I felt my cheeks go red hot as I heard Al chuckling on the other and of the phone.
"Sounds like I'd better let you go then brother." And before I could stutter an excuse out, he hung up. Letting a weary sigh escape from my lips, I paced the phone back onto the hook and surrendered to the warm embrace behind me.
We stood there for a time, taking in each others presence as if it were a drug. At least until Roy picked me up from behind and swung me around in a circle several times before playfully pinning me to the bed, sheets amuck all around us.
He leaned down to plant a gentle kiss an my lips, and I raised my head to receive it, tilting my head back slightly for a better angle. It had started out as something innocent, but quickly escalated in to something of red hot passion, and soon I felt his tongue graze my lips, which, of course, I accepted eagerly. We were still fighting for dominance when, unfortunately, my stomach gave a rather large grumble, stating it's anger at my negligence. Roy pulled away, threw his head back, and roared with laughter. I pouted slightly, not sure whether to laugh with him, be annoyed, or stare in awe at the beautiful, smiling face before me.
"Well, I guess we shouldn't neglect your poor stomach any longer."He said, his laughter subsided and was replaced by a cute, crooked, and genuine smile. Taking me by the hand, he led me to the kitchen, that smile still in place.
A/N
Well, that took me a while to write ^_^'
The son that Roy sang is actually a real song, and if you want to listen to it it's called bread and fishes, my parents actually did sing that to me as a child to get me to sleep.
