"Let's clean you up a bit first okay," Roy said once they were in the restroom and wetted a paper towel.

"N-NO! I h-have da go n-now!" Ed yelled with his fists clenched and legs tightly together.

"You're gonna get chocolate all over yourself if we don't."

"F-fine," Ed whined and stood quietly in the corner.

"I need to wash your hands Ed." Ed stuck his fists out to Roy. "I can't wash them like that. Do you really have to go that bad?" Ed nodded and Roy noticed his teeth were clenched tightly. "Can you go without touching yourself?"

"P-pervert! I d-don'd h-have da p-pee! I g-godda p-poop."

"Then you should be able to hold it, right?"

"Y-yeah, b-but for th-thome w-weason I d-don'd f-fink I c-can m-much w-wonger. C-can't y-you d-dis w-wash f-fem w-while I go?"

"You called me a pervert and you want me to wash your hands while you shit."

"Sh-shud up! It's n-not wike I'd be a-able to g-get up f-fere w-wifout h-help a-any w-ways."

"Okay get in there," Roy said pointing to the closest stall but Ed didn't budge.

"I c-can'd m-move."

"Okay then." Roy picked Ed up and took him into the stall. Roy stood Ed in front of the toilet before grabbing the wet and sticky stained pillow case he was still wearing, taking it off, and sitting Ed on the toilet. Roy quickly realized he had to hold Ed up on the toilet seat so he wouldn't fall in. It had scared Ed to the point that he grabbed a hold of Roy's jacket to hold himself incase Roy decided to let go of him.

'I can't believe I'm gonna do this,' Ed thought. He tightened his fists and scrunched up his face while grunting.

"Um… how d-do I…" Ed asked blushing.

"What? Are you done?"

"Y-yes."

"Okay then," Roy said lifting him off the toilet and standing him on the floor. "Are you gonna wipe your ass?"

"H-how?" Ed asked looking down at his chocolate covered fingers after removing them from Roy's jacket.

"Hm?" Roy saw Ed's chocolate covered hands and quickly came up with a plan. "Hang on a minute." Roy stood and went over to the sink. Roy grabbed a few paper towels and wetted them before returning to clean off Ed's hands. Once Ed considered his hands clean enough, he went over and wiped himself before flushing the toilet. "Feel better Fullmetal?"

"Sh-shud up!"

"Let's go get the rest of you clean," Roy said as he threw away the pillow case Ed had been wearing.

"H-hey! W-what am I th-thuppothe to w-wear now bathdawd?"

"It was stained and smelled like piss. You can wear my jacket until we get to the military showers." Roy took his jacket off and held it out to Ed. Ed grabbed it roughly and struggled to put it on until Roy grabbed it and put it on him properly before closing it up.

Colonel Roy Mustang walked down the hall towards the military showers followed by a toddler that was practically running to keep up. Everyone in the halls were watching the duo. A bunch of female officers suddenly surrounded Ed and Roy.

"Oh, your so cute!"

"Is he yours Colonel?"

"His hair and eyes are gorgeous!"

Roy loved the attention he was getting from the women but suddenly Ed began to scream and cry. Everyone in the hall covered their ears and got away as quickly as they could. Once the hall was deserted, Roy went over to Ed to find out what had happened. "Come on kid. Stop it!" Roy quickly picked Ed up and ran the rest of the way to the military showers.

"It's okay," Roy said setting Ed down on a bench before starting to take his clothes off. "What happened back there?"

"Um… W-what awe ya doing?" Ed asked with a sniffle.

"Did you think I was gonna trust you to wash yourself?" Roy asked.

"N-no, but w-why awe ya t-taking your c-cwofes off?"

"So they don't get wet, of course. Don't worry I'm keeping my boxers on." Roy directed Ed over to the showers after removing the jacket he had loaned him.

"W-won't youw b-boxews g-get w-wet?"

"I'll just go commando for the rest of the day. It'd be weird if I showered naked with a toddler."

"I'll d-do f-fis on o-onwy o-one c-condition!" Ed said backing away from Roy.

"What's that?"

"Y-you on y-your n-nees."

"I'm not begging you to take a shower."

"N-not wike f-fat p-pervert! Either y-you n-nees or c-cwouch d-down."

"Oh, so I'm level with you. Okay." Roy got into the shower and down on one knee.

"I d-don'd wike w-whad my eyes awe w-wevel w-with, f-fat's all," Ed said as he walked over and got under the water.

"Oh!" Roy said looking down. "Just don't kick me." Roy started to wash Ed's hair when he noticed something. "How did you get chocolate in your hair?"

"I don' no! Thop id! You'we hawdin' my 'ed!"

"What? We have got to work on your communication skills." Ed glared at Roy for the rest of the shower and made a note in his head to not speak anymore.

Roy had wrapped a towel around Ed and was drying himself off as they walked over to their clothes. Roy got dressed before he realized Ed wasn't even dried off yet. "Do I have to do everything for you?" Roy asked reaching for the towel but Ed pulled away. "What's wrong?" Roy had stepped where Ed had been a moment ago with a splash. Roy looked down and saw a large puddle on the floor, too big to just be from Ed dripping. Roy slowly went to Ed and opening the towel to reveal the front to be soaked. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"J-just be g-gwad I didn'd go on y-you in fe sh-shower!" Ed yelled. Tears started to run down Ed's face and he looked away.

"Okay," Roy said standing up. "I'll get you a new towel." Roy walked away and returned with a dry towel.

"I'm th-thawy I y-yewed," Ed said as Roy started to dry him off after discarding the wet towel.

"You can't tell when you have to go can you?" Roy asked as he put a short-sleeved t-shirt on Ed.

'I can't tell him I didn't even know I had gone until I felt the wet towel rub up against me,' Ed thought. 'It's disgusting.'

"Ed? It might be best to talk to me about what's going on. You still haven't told me what happened in the hall earlier." Ed shook his head, biting his lower lip hard enough to make it bleed. "Don't do that!" Roy grabbed the towel he had used to dry Ed off and wiped the blood off that was dripping down Ed's chin. Ed whined when Roy touched the cut he had made. "It hurts doesn't it?" Ed nodded with a slight sniffle. "I bet everyone's wondering where we are," Roy said as he picked Ed up with no complaints and carried him back to the office.
