A.N.: I'm going to finish "You never know" in a couple of months so this story should finish before it. It won't follow a normal storyline after their first night together. This time two drabbles and one not-so-long-as-a-chapter short story.

Warnings: Graphic sex, het, angst... and a lot of fluff in the end.

Rate: NC-17.


Act one: "All that he wished was a little bit of love II"

It was a nice morning. The gentle wind coming from outside was playing with some locks of golden hair, nibbling slightly the pale flesh of his face. Amber-colored eyes stared at the ceiling, wondering what to do next. His wounds were healing pretty well and Al was there constantly at his side. However the situation made the boy face his own feelings.

The day after he awoke on that place Roy came to visit him. It did hurt so much… see the man he loves in front of him. His chest tightened when he left. Besides, Roy was acting normally after months from the last time they met. Al was right… this feeling doesn't have future.

What he expected? That the Colonel would accept him and run to his arms? He was so stupid… probably the raven man would settle himself with a nice girl and have kids with her. Ed wasn't on his plans. His wanderings flushed when he saw the said man in front of him again.

"Good morning Fullmetal, how are you today?" he grinned and pulled a chair nearby to the bed.

"Colonel? What are you doing here?" the blonde's heart was almost going to explode, pounding quickly on his chest.

"You were so distracted that didn't notice me entering here…" he pointed to a vase of flowers "I brought you flowers and put them on water."

"You didn't answer me bastard."

"You didn't like it?" Roy's expression was calm.

"Humph…I'm not a fucking girl." Ed averted his eyes to the other side. The older man was playing that game again. Just friends hurt more than nothing.

"Yes, you aren't a girl. You're a sixteen-old boy, handsome, prodigy genius and the best State Alchemist that I ever seen in my life." Roy smiled slightly for the first time.

Ed was stunned for some moments. The man's words left him without reaction.

"You're kidding… aren't you?" finally he choked out.

"No I'm not. You spent months trying to seduce me Ed, throwing your feelings on me and expecting for some feedback, didn't you? Today I'm responding your feelings and I'd like to see if you're ready for a relationship, to fight against the society and the military for your feelings… for us." Roy's words sounded very sincere; the man was glaring at him with certain intensity that surprised the teenager.

"W-why are you doing this all of sudden?" the blonde couldn't believe that Roy was asking to have a relationship with him.

"I realized that I cannot hide my feelings anymore Edward. I do love you since the time we met again after Rizembool." Roy closed his eyes and remembered the small frame of the impetuous boy in front of him four years younger… that day made something change inside of his heart... that day he felt like his destiny were bounded to that boy forever.

"I… I don't know what to say…" it was true. The blonde didn't know if he was ready for it, he never had any kind of relationship before.

"Do you really love me? Just answer it." Roy opened his charcoal eyes and stared at him.

The blonde blushed but his heart was dying to say it for ages.

"Y-yes… I do." The words came out timidly but Ed let out the burden that was consuming his heart. He felt so relieved.

"Do you understand that we have burdens bigger than our own happiness?"

It was like cold bath during winter. The blonde wasn't expecting that.

"You came here just to let me crazy? You made me confess you bastard!" Ed yelled and felt his broken ribs aching in protest.

"No I want you to understand Edward. Our love cannot happen… you have Alphonse and I want to be a Fuhrer… you don't know what to do because you aren't ready for a relationship!" The man was lying, deep in his heart he wished to take the blonde on his arms, kiss him and love him right now.

"Perhaps you're right… but give me a chance. You're already deciding it on your own bastard! You're dumping me before it happens!" Ed shouted angrily. He was so upset with Roy. Tears formed on the corner of his eyes.

The older man was pondering his last words. He stood from the chair and headed to the window.

"I need to think about… many people are relying on me. You should do the same." He said.

"When I get out of this fucking hospital, you'll take me out for a date. If you don't wanna anything with me, at least I tried." Edward ginned and tried to break the ice. He won't let Roy dump him in that way.

"Fine then…come to Central, I'll be there for the next months." The older man finally spoke "I'm going back in the next train so I must hurry up." He headed to the door.

"Thanks…" Ed said when the man reached the door.

"For what?" Roy opened the door and looked back.

"For the flowers." Ed smiled.

"You're welcome." The older man smiled back "Take care."


Act two: "Miss you"

It was so hot. Sweat was rolling down his body, mixed with his partner's body under him. He was hammering his cock against her wet pussy, groaning like an animal would do. She moaned and panted, repeatedly begging for him to go harder. Roy doesn't remember exactly her name, something like Sharon or Shannon. Why he ended with her anyway? The man has to admit that she has a nice body, long blonde hair and a soft pale tan skin. He met her on her job at the next door's coffee shop, she's the waitress there. A man needs some entertainment, with his work and rank life was quite stressful.

The raven man grabbed her chin and kissed her. She dug her nails on his back, and her legs crawled around his hips for a deep penetration. Roy was enjoying their twist, but something was leaving him uneasy. Her voice and her cheap perfume were awkward. Something inside of him was screaming that she wasn't supposed to be there. He doesn't have any feelings for her. Then, the small frame of a certain blonde came up to his mind, fantasies of Edward under him just like the woman now.

The raven man stopped for a moment and realized what was missing. She wasn't the one who he really wanted to be with. He never believed in sex with feelings, but even the sex wasn't as good as it was before that day in the hospital. Besides, Roy promised a date for him.

"What's going on?" she asked between pants.

"I'm sorry…" he got out of her and laid aside. Roy was feeling so dirty and guilty.

"I did something wrong?" the girl covered herself with the covers.

"No… it's me…sorry." Roy was visibly disturbed.

"Fine. I'm going home." The girl was upset and grabbed her clothes sprayed on the floor.

"I'm so sorry…" he grabbed his shirt.

"I'm fine okay? Leave me alone asshole!" she leaved him to his thoughts.

"Look what you've done to me Ed… you won…I can't live without you."

He laughed maniacally and went to the bathroom to jerk off. After all, a man still needs some entertainment.


Act three: "Fireworks"

That night of spring was clear and slightly cold. Central city as the capital has a lot of pensions and hotels prepared for receiving travelers and tourists interested to see the beautiful gardens at this time of year. In a small flat apartment, Edward left the bathroom after a good bath and wrapped on a towel headed to his room. Alphonse looked at him and shook his head.

"Brother, he's coming in fifteen minutes and you still have to get dressed." He grabbed other towel and was drying the golden mane.

"Ouch!" the small blonde was trembling "Hey Al… do you think that this is my last… my last chance?" he whispered.

"Don't think on this… enjoy your night. Make each minute with him worth your feelings."

"You're right." Ed sighed and handed to the suit of armor a hairbrush. Al gently started to brush the satiny blonde hair.

"But if you get dumped, come back here that I'll be waiting you." The younger Elric spoke in a playful tone.

"You're always here for me…" Ed smiled sadly since his brother was unable to have any kind of relationship because his soul was trapped in a suit of armor.

"I'm done! Put your shirt and pants on, hurry up!"

Ed stumbled till the bed where Al left his clothes and quickly got dressed. He preferred his hair down, white shirt and black pants. They don't have many belongings including clothes, so the day after he went shopping. A pair of shining black shoes finished the combination. Al insisted in a necktie and suit, but the blonde only picked the suit. Depending where the raven man is taking him this night he'll use it.

Exactly at eight o'clock they heard knocks in the door. Al went to attend it.

"Good night Alphonse." Roy greeted him with a smile.

"Good night colonel, he's coming." Al offered a chair for the newcomer and went to call his brother.

When Ed came and saw his date tonight, he was speechless. Roy was using a fancy black suit, black shirt and black shoes. His cheeks instantly became red. Besides the fact that the raven man brought him flowers again it was perfect.

"I noticed that you liked my attire." The older man grinned and handed to the blonde a bouquet of red roses "For you, since you liked the flowers I gave you other day."

"Err… thanks." Ed grabbed the roses feeling embarrassed and slightly annoyed to be treated like a girl.

"You should put them on water." Roy grinned amused.

"O-okay." Ed was going to kill the bastard. What happened to his mind? Before was so easy to argue with the asshole. He left the roses in the bathroom and came back.

"Are you ready? We're on time." Roy smiled.

"Y-yeah." Ed grabbed his suit and the raven man was already holding the door waiting for him.

"You don't need to open the door for me." Ed locked the door and gazed up.

"I'm an old-fashioned guy, so I like to treat my dates like this." he offered his right arm for the blonde "Shall we go? My car is in front of the hotel."

Trembling with the imminent contact, Ed accepted the offer and accompanied the man holding his arm.

The ride till the restaurant was peaceful. They talked about trivialities and work. Ed discovered that Roy likes classical music, jazz, dogs, eat cold pizza at breakfast and kids. The last left the blonde sad since if they were a couple, he cannot give children to him.

In the restaurant, Roy made reservations for them in a special place in the roof. It was an expensive and fancy restaurant and only rich people was there. Their special place was discrete and separated from the other costumers. The blonde was thinking if the man doesn't want to be seen with him or he'd want some privacy. They took their seats, and the waiter handed to them the menu.

"Order anything that you want, I'm paying tonight." Roy grinned.

"Only being your date I can get some free food from you bastard?" Ed grinned back.

"Not really. Since we're both men you can pay me some other day." A smirk was on the older man's face. Ed frowned and Roy simply thought it adorable.

After some time choosing their dishes, Roy thought that Ed was taking so long to order.

"Are you ready to order?"

"… I'll have anything that you're having." The blonde replied quickly.

"Are you sure?" the raven man raised an eyebrow, Ed was well known for his ravenous appetite.

"I cannot understand the menu…" the blonde muttered.

"Okay, let me order for you. You'll like it." the older man smiled and called the waiter.

Roy ordered 'Beef consommé' as entrance, 'Cognac shrimp with beurre blanc sauce' as main dish, and 'Chocolate crepe' as dessert. For him he ordered a white wine and for Edward orange juice.

"Not fair… you got the wine and I got the juice." Ed frowned.

"You're still underaged. But when you get the legal age we can drink together... I promise." Roy grinned and placed his hand atop of Ed's flesh hand.

"Are you fucking crazy?" the blonde blushed and looked around "They can see us."

"No they can't. Anyway, I don't mind what the others are thinking because it's our night." Roy took the blonde's hand and kissed it.

"You're embarrassing me…" the boy was blushing in six shades of red.

"I know and it's adorable."

"It's hard to imagine a guy being adorable…" the blonde scowled.

"You just killed the mood." Roy sighed.

"Sorry…" Ed began but it was late.

"Do you know that flowers like red roses have a meaning?" the older man interrupted him.

"…no I don't."

They remained quiet during the dinner. The dishes were delicious, but being smaller than 'normal' restaurants, the blonde was still hungry. Ed didn't want to screw up the night, but he did. Besides, Roy was treating him just like a girl and he could imagine the guy telling the same things to other people before him.

Roy observed the blonde during the dinner, and he cursed himself. Ed was inexperienced and probably could be thinking that he flirted him just like some girl. Honestly, he was hoping that the boy could enjoy their first date and he planed everything to be perfect. He looked at his pocket watch for the third time this night and soon the second part of his plan was coming to action and save this disaster.

Ed finished first to eat and gazed at the man in front of him. Roy seemed to be distant and looked many times at his pocket watch. Surely he wasn't enjoying his company. Is he waiting for someone else? Or is he bored, waiting the dinner ends as soon as possible? The teenager downed his head and was feeling so sad. He forced this situation and screwed up everything.

Suddenly he felt that a warm hand cupped his right cheek and gently raised his head. Roy smiled and tried to cheer him up, rubbing softly his cheek. Amber eyes widened in surprise, but he smiled back comforted by the man's gesture.

"Come with me." Roy pulled the blonde with him to the ledge and looked at the sky.

In a couple of minutes, bright, colorful and loud fireworks filled up the sky. Edward saw fireworks just a few times on his life and for a child's eyes, fireworks are always amazing. Roy placed his arm around Ed's shoulder and together they admired the shining sky. When the show ended the small blonde gazed at onyx-colored eyes and smiled.

"Did you like them?" Roy asked and smiled back.

"Yeah…how did you know that would have fireworks tonight?" the teenager blushed once again like a girl.

"Can you see the park from here?" he pointed to a luminous area in the middle of a grove nearby the restaurant "Today they're having a spring carnival there and fireworks were part of the show… but they've said that this restaurant's roof is the best place to watch them."

"Thanks." Ed smiled and the older man's head leaned down. His face was so close, Ed could feel his warm breath. The blonde closed his eyes and soft lips touched his own, a warm and slimy tongue opening a passage between them. He returned the kiss and the two tongues met, encircling each other hungrily and vigorously. The boy thought that his heart could stop at any moment, and felt his legs wobbly and weak. His mind was lost on that man's kiss, totally given by soul and body. When they broke apart, Roy was holding the blonde by his waist and the back of his head. The boy's hands inexplicably were resting on the raven man's chest.

For the teenager, this moment could freeze forever. But his stomach wasn't very happy about the insufficient food and grumbled loudly. Ed was so embarrassed that didn't look up to face his date. Roy cupped his cheek again and only smiled.

"Perhaps we can get some food in that carnival too." The raven man pulled the blonde with him.

As soon as they arrived at the carnival, Ed pulled Roy to the carrousel and then to the giant wheel. They laughed together on the 'House of terror', because the Flame alchemist 'accidentally' put fire on the mummy – just reflex as he said. After two hours of pure joy, the two were resting eating popcorn and ice cream. Roy clever as he was, caught any slip of ice cream that felt on the blonde's cheek. Tired and spent they were about to leave the place when Roy saw an old man with a camera and an improvised studio. Ed was tired and didn't want to be photographed but the older man insisted so much that he finally gave up and followed him till the studio.

The blonde watched his date talking something to the old guy and then joined him for the first shot. Before Ed could react, he pulled him closer and embraced the blonde from behind. The first shot was done. Stunned, Ed couldn't believe that Roy hugged him in public.

"Don't worry, It told him that you're my date…" Roy whispered on Ed's ear "… and my future boyfriend."

"W-what?" Ed was about to turn around when Roy put him in other position.

When they finished the photographer gave to them the photos and smiled.

"Please come back to my studio if you get along with your relationship." He seemed so happy and they left the small studio.

"I can't believe… he… he doesn't care…" Ed was surprised.

"He's a wise person Ed. For him, love is all that matters not gender or age and… I discovered that for me too…" Roy knelled in one leg on the grass "Edward Elric, do you want to be my lover?"

"Yes, I do." The blonde smiled and pulled the man into a kiss. This time the taller man knelled was in the right size for him to kiss... and somewhere on his mind he could hear the fireworks again. But it was just his imagination.

To be continued.
