A Dinner A Shot
Roy was pulled by his arm to a near by café like restrante and sat down with Edward's automail arm dragging him and his flesh arm on his mouth. Roy was very pleased by the outcome of his lips pressed against Edo's hand. Ed himself hadn't planned this to be so, but couldn't take his hand away in fear that Roy would read the move correctly. Ed was enjoying the contact and cursing them both for the fact.
At the restraunte the waitress came and turned to Edward, whom was still giving Roy death glares, with a warm smile.
"Hi Edward! You'll have the regular?" She said cheerfully not noticing the glares and the deathly atmosphere.
"Sal!" Ed said like he just realized she was there, "Yes, that would be great, but please make two- one for this idiot as well."
"O, so this is that bastard…" She said turning towards the kitchen.
"Okay bastard, what do you want?" Edward said wanting to get this over with, and being his impatient self- he couldn't stand this moment.
"I…can I see them again?" Edward had snatched the papers earlier and put them back between the pages in the book. Ed rolled his eyes and laid them out on the table facing Roy.
Roy examined them again, taking everything in. the table fell into an unconftrable silence between the two. It was luckily broken by Sal who came in with their orders.
"Here ya go Ed!" She placed the plates down infront the two and then noticed the pictures, "That reminds me! Edward, my niece sends her thanks for that wonderful drawing of her you gave her. See ya later."
"Other people know, and I was never told of this drawing thing!"
"Relax dumbass, Sal's a real close friend."
"Can I have this one?" Roy asked meaning their battle one
"Huh? You really want it? Sure.." Ed couldn't help and ended up blushing infront of Roy. He just couldn't believe Roy liked it.
"So, what is this?" Roy asked sensing Ed didn't feel very conftrable about this topic.
In front of them was a plate with some chicken and a side salad.
"What's it look like? Dinner. I don't go to fancy places like you- for me this is gorme food. You should see what I eat at home." Ed hungrily took off a large chunk of chicken, looking more like the fast eating Edward Roy knew. "And don't think I've forgiven you after what you did bastard."
Roy took a bite out of the kitchen and found himself falling in love with it. The chicken was so perfect he couldn't resist himself and took to it right away. He was eating in the speed of light when he heard Edward laughing. He looked up at him questioningly.
"What?" Roy said defensibly.
"You should see yourself!" Ed was caught by a laughing spree clutching his stomach. "You've got something here." Ed pointed to his own cheek. "No! other side! No! higher! Not that high! Sigh… here let me." Edward leaned over and only realized what he was doing too late and he had to wipe it. He quickly wiped it away and sat back trying to hide the blush that was evading his face.
Roy couldn't believe how close they were getting. Time was that Ed would have never told it to Roy, just to see him walk out the door like that.
The night grew long and interesting from then. The conversation then led them to alchemy.
"Yes, but potentially, we could use our feet to complete the transmutation." Roy said seriously.
"No, not really, because how much of a circle can you do with your feet? It wouldn't make any sense." Ed said over a cup of coffee.
"Well, let's just go and test it out." Edward said simply getting up.
"Right now?"
"Yea, why not you too scared of loosing bastard?"
So Roy paid the bill and the two went to a park. It was already late at night, and so it was not deserted much to both of the men's relief- no witnesses.
"Okay bastard, make your own transmutation circle and we'll both try."
Edward picked up a near by stick and drew a basic all-purpose transmutation circle while Roy did the same. then both men stripped of their shoes and sox and sat down with their feet over the circles.
"Ready?"
"Yea."
There was a bright flash of blue light suddenly as the transmutation circles came to life. Both men were momentarily blinded by what had happened. Ed's circle held a small circle the color of the dirt while Roy's held a triangle, also the color of the dirt.
"See, I told you it would work," Roy said trying not to brag
"Yea, but the important part is explaining why it worked." Ed said thoughtfully, "That's only half a job- like your brain."
"Hey! No chibi is putting me down!"
"you call me chibi one more time and I'll send a spike through your hollow head." Edward brought his hands dangerously close to each other next to the ground.
"Bring it one shortstop!" Roy said challengingly.
"Nah, it's not even worth it…let's go home…" Ed turned around leaving their work behind for little kids to find. Roy found himself following him.
"You know what I love about these nights? The cold air." Ed said after a while.
"What's so great about the cold?" Roy asked.
"It's kind of like hope. Because when there are cold nights, you know there will be a warm day coming up. It's like its asking for you to come get it, because it's going to rescue you. Rescue you from everything else."
"Wow…I always thought that of fire. Because it would start everything over after it burned the rest away."
"that's just stupid baka."
"Hey! I didn't laugh at yours!"
"Well, this is my stop Roy, I'll see you tomorrow again?"
"Yea, tomorrow…" Roy tuned around to leave.
"Wait Roy I forgot!" Ed came down a few stairs so he was on eye level with Roy, "Thank you for being my cold night." He then kissed Roy gently on the cheek and quickly turned around going up to his room leaving Roy to walk away without looking back.
Once inside his house Ed fell onto his bed and cursed himself in all languages and forms he knew. Roy walked back home with a satisfied smile, Ed liked him back-it wasn't just him.
The last thing both men thought of right before falling asleep was 'I just can't wait until tomorrow-it's going to be great.'
