Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who has reviewd! It's nice to know my story is being appreciated. I'm sorry if you have problems with my English. I put most weight in Roy's dreams though. I guess you'll know why when the story is finished. Well, here you go. Chapter three. It's still Roy who's dreaming!


Chapter Three: Don't Fade Away

"They're on their way. But it might take quite a time before they get here, because of the weather. But I'll look after you. I promise. Just hang in there. Okay?" Edward said. "But what the hell happened here anyway?" he continued softly as he tried to stop the bleeding with his red coat.

"I dunno… I was… Hughes… He came and… It wasn't Hughes… Then he… Stabbed me…"

Envy… Ed thought and felt the hatred grow inside of him.

"Roy! Don't lea--" was the last thing Roy heard as his eyelids closed as he once again drifted of to unconsciousness.

Edward woke up about 07:45 am. Yawned. He felt a couple of arms around him, holding him tight. His nose caught the smell of cologne. He opened his eyes, and stared down at a bare man's chest. He stiffened. He felt a certain pain in the ass, and then he remembered what had happened yesterday. He grinned to himself. After all these years he'd wanted the Roy so badly. He'd dreamed and fantasized about him. Although, he rarely admitted it to himself. "So, the sleeping beauty is finally awake," a familiar voice said and dug a hand in the blond's hair.

"I still hate you, you know," Ed said, but he didn't really try to convince the older man.

Well, that's not quite true.

"Sure you do," Roy chuckled softly, playing with Ed's blond bangs. "If you say that instead of "Rooooooyyyyy … you feel soooo goooood…" I might believe it."

"Bastard."

Stop, you're going to make me blush.

"Now, now, FullMetal. Don't be so rude."

Don' t blush again. Help me…

They both shared a laugh, and got out of bed. Roy couldn't stop glaring at the blond as he pulled his pants on. Ed had now turned eighteen, and had grown a few inches. So gorgeous, so perfect. The thick blond hair lying so nicely on his shoulders. The golden eyesthat shone so brightly. The way he walked. The way he talked. The way he yelled when he was angry. The thought of that made Roy chuckle a bit, and Edward looked up at him and smiled.

Oh, that smile.

"So, does this change anything between us, bastard?"

Everything.

"Quit the name calling, FullMetal," Roy said, trying to sound serious, though a smile forced itself on the General's lips. "My name is Edward, you know," the boy said.

"And my name's Roy."

"Alright, Roy."

"See, that wasn't so hard, now was it, Edward?"

"No," he replied. "Well, back to my question. Does this change anything between the two of us? I mean … I usually don't sleep with my superior officer."

"Well," Roy laughed. "It does. There's no telling if this encounter will go any further. It might turn into something and it might not. Even if it does, I don't think it's a good idea to tell anyone, because of the fact that we're both males. But now just let's see what happens next." They both smiled, and Ed nodded. Roy walked towards him, and kissed him on his temple.

"If this turns into a relationship," he started. "Let's try not to get too many emotions involved. I'm not that kind of guy."

So that was what theGeneral wanted from him, just sex. Nothing more. But he could live with that, right? After all, he was the FullMetal Alchemist.

Roy left Edward to get dressed and walked into the living room. He sat down at the couch he and Edward had screwed each other, not long so ago.

No emotions, he though to himself as he stared at the wall. He couldn't love the boy. It just wasn't right. Mustang had no problem fucking Edward, but to cared about him in that way, that just wasn't right. First of all, they were both guys. Secondly, Roy didn't love anyone, except for his friends and family. Maybe he did, but. He just couldn't admit it. He and Ed was just going to share sex, that's all. Not love.

But Mustang felt something. When he was around that boy he felt something he'd never felt before. Was it love? Had Roy Mustang finally found someone he actually loved? No, he was Roy Mustang, he didn't love someone that way. And then Edward came walking in and that feeling came back. This couldn't possible be love?

The teen sat down beside him, and Roy laid a hand around him and pulled the youth closer, hugging him softly. "What's that about?" he said. "You were the one who said 'no emotions involved'," he finished coldly.

"Just relax, okay?" Roy said. He bent his head a bit and melted his lips with Edward's. It's going to be hard No fucking emotions, Edward thought to himself as he let himself feel the softness of Roy's tongue who so tenderly rubbed it against his own…

"He's losing too much blood! Get him in, quick!" Ed saw his lover being carried into the hospital. He followed. They went three floors up, and then into a hallway, then into a big room where Ed wasn't allowed to enter.

No one had even the time to talk to Ed about the whole situation. He didn't know if Roy was still alive or if he was dead. He wanted to cry, but he tried not to. He was so scared. So scared to lose the one he cared so much about, the one he loved. Oh yes, the one he loved…

---

Roy woke up again. The white light forced him to close his eyes again. He was scared. Where were he? He couldn't see nor hear Ed.

Why am I here? And why did I relive the first night with Ed? Am I dead?

If it weren't for the fact that his stomach hurt he would have thought so.

He sensed that someone was within reach and opened his eyes, grabbed the persons wrist and pulled. "Who are you and why the hell am I here?" he would have yelled but all he could manage was a weak whisper. He got a glimpse of the person. It was a lady. Dressed in white. A nurse? "Calm down, Mr. Mustang, you're in a hospital. We're trying to fix you, and we can't do that if you don't calm down," the lady in white said. "Look, take these pills and it won't hurt."

"I don't want any pills! I want to talk to Ed!" Something was forced down his throat.

Darkness.
