Chapter 3: Deception
(Author's note: This was the chapter that I had to work on the most. This one also got the most comments from BCB-Chan.You may have noticed that the rating for this has been bumped up. There is a scene in here that I was told might be too strong for just a teen rating. If somebody could enlighten me on that, it would be much a ppreciated.
So anyway enjoy and I own none of these characters)
Two Weeks Later
"Good morning, Beautiful."
Edward smiled as the familiar statement sent a tingle through his body.
"Good morning to you too," Edward replied, rolling over and kissing the lips of the one beside him.
"Wow, you never kiss me like that in the morning. Maybe I should call you beautiful more often."
Edward opened his eyes to see Winry smiling at him. He felt his heart sink slightly. He'd hoped that the mission hadn't end and he was still alone with Roy.
"I just…had a good dream is all," Edward said.
Winry placed a kiss on his forehead. "Was it about me?"
Edward turned back over and placed his feet on the floor. "I have to report to Central today," he said as he pulled his shirt on.
"For what? You just got home yesterday!" Winry said angrily.
"It can't be helped," Edward reasoned." There are papers that I need to fill out and Mustang and I have to give our report."
Winry wrapped her arms around Edward's waist, placing a kiss on his shoulder. "Just hurry back."
"So, the tip we received was a dud."
Roy Mustang was addressing his lower officers as they discussed the previous mission. His feet were propped up onto the desk, causing him to lean back slightly in his chair
"It could have been someone attempting to assassinate you, Sir," Lieutenant Hawkeye suggested.
"Don't be so dramatic, Hawkeye. I'm sure it was just someone who wanted to send the military on a wild goose chase."
"Excuse me, Sir?"
The group turned to the door to see Master Sargent Furey. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but Colonel Elric is here. He said he needs to see you."
Roy smiled to himself. "Send him in. We'll continue this conversation later," he said to his subordinates.
"But, Sir" Hawkeye began.
"That is all. You are dismissed, Lieutenant," Roy snapped.
Hawkeye reluctantly saluted, then filed out of the office.
"Come in, Fullmetal."
Edward slowly entered the tiny office. It was easy to see everything in the room just standing in the door way. The windows behind the General's desk allowed, in Edward's opinion, too much light into the room. There were two bookcases on either side of the room and a coat rack next to the ones on the left.
These things were doing in excellent job of keeping Edward from looking Roy in the eyes. This was the first time the two of them had seen each other since the end of the mission. He wasn't sure what to expect.
"Please, have a seat," Roy said, motioning to a seat in front of his desk. "You need to speak to me about something?" he asked as he swung his feet down from the desk and walked behind Edward.
"Umm…I need an evaluation from my commanding officer about our previous mission," he explained, sliding down into the chair.
"Alright." Edward heard the door shut, followed by a small click.
"Uh…" Edward quickly cleared his throat. Don't worry. Don't freak out… "'What was your subordinate's attitude?'"
"Acceptable," Roy commented, rounding his desk. He reached for a small string on the window. The young colonel watch was blinds rolled down the window and cast a dull shadow over the office. "He didn't…put up much of a fight." Roy had crossed the room and circled behind Edward. The younger officer shivered slightly as the General ran his hands up Edward's arms.
"H…'how was your subordinate's performance?'"
"Adequate," Roy said. Edward turned, his mouth opened to protest, and was meet with a kiss from Roy. "For a first timer."
Edward blushed. He leaned into Roy and kissed him passionately. Roy pulled him closer to his body and raised Edward out of the chair. Edward felt himself being lowered onto Roy's desk. He ran his hands through Roy's hair as Roy clawed at Edward's back. Roy's hands soon found the clip on Edward's bolero. They watched as Edward's bolero, followed quickly by his shirt fell to the desk. Edward looked down at the clothes.
"What is it?" Roy asked, his hands around Edward's waist.
"Nothing. I'm just really happy. That's all," Edward said, smiling. He reached over to Roy's shoulder, unfastened his jacket, and pulled the uniform off the General's shoulders. He then placed his lips at the base of Roy's neck and moved them up until his lips met Roy's. He allowed his body to lean backwards as the older alchemist's hands gently pushed forward on his shoulders. He wrapped his arms around Roy's neck, his lips now pushing against the lips of his superior.
Roy's lips soon made their way down Edward's face and settled on his neck. As he felt teeth sink into his flesh, the younger alchemist shrank slightly under Roy and his nails became buried in the General's back.
A loud knock resounded in the office, causing Edward and Roy to look up at the door.
"General, is everything alright?"
"Damn it!" Roy hissed, leaping off Edward and grabbing his jacket off the floor. Edward recognized the voice as Lieutenant Hawkeye's. He began to gather his own scattered garments, scrambling to pull them down over his head.
"Just a minute, Lieutenant!" Roy shouted, refastening his jacket. He was almost to the door when Edward grabbed a hold of his wrist.
"Your hair's everywhere," Edward said, flattening Roy's stay hairs. They exchanged a smile and a final kiss before Edward unlocked the door.
"Lieutenant," Edward said, courteously bowing. He had grown accustomed to the Lieutenant outranking him, so he still bowed or saluted her.
"Colonel," Hawkeye said, saluting her superior.
"Elric, leave your phone line open tonight. I'll get back to you about the evaluation."
Riza Hawkeye watched as the youngest Colonel in military history left. She then switched her attention to Roy. There was something different about him appearance.
"What is it, Lieutenant?"
Riza pushed him back into the office, slamming the door behind them. "Why was this door locked?"
"Private conversation," Roy said, coolly.
"Don't give me that. You've never been one for secrecy. Even before you purposed, there were plenty of times Furey walked in on us!"
"Riza," Roy said, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Everyone knew about us before we even knew. But, there are some things that people should never know."
(Awe!!!! How cute are they? Ok, now everyone is going to think I'm crazy. So, that's it for this lastest installment of FMA Soap Opera theatre. Join us next time to see what becomes of this forbidden (and incredibly adorable) love.)
