Title: No Name Yet
Rating: M (It might get messy later on so be warned!)
Pairing: Roy X Ed (You were expecting maybe something else?)
Summary: While in college, Roy is sent to a psycologist and finds out he isn't the only one with dreams like his.
Type: AU Fic. Yaoi and Hughes! (I couldn't just leave him out, now could I?)
Warning: May contain lemon in later chapters if desired... (Riza bashing may occur in this chapter. You have been warned)
Okay, I know it's been over a month, but you have to give me some slack here. I brought you the longest shapter I've ever written. Seven Pages Long! That's more than my "Why?" Drabbles put together! I did do some more bashing, as warned up above. If you didn't like it before, don't read it. I don't have time to deal with your dislike of my bashing ideas. I love Riza as much as most of you, but I just had to have someone like this in here. You'll see why when you finish this chapter. And no, I couldn't use Winry. I have other plans for her... -insert evil grin here- n-n
Roy: If she owned this, then she would be the richest person in the world. And I don't mean because of the money she would make...
Chapter 4
Ed began to stir as he noticed a definitive smell hanging in the air. He opened his eyes slowly and realized that Roy was no longer in the bed with him. Pouting, he sat up, sluggishly and swung his legs around, gracing the floor with his presence.
"Oh, you're awake."
Ed looked up, mid-yawn, at Roy, who was standing in the kitchen doorway. He blinked. What's Roy doing here? He thought.
Roy laughed softly. "If you want something to eat, you should come into the kitchen. I made breakfast." He said smiling.
Ed nodded and stood up, padding over to the table in the kitchen and sitting down.
"What did you make?"
"Eggs, bacon, toast with strawberry jam, and some coffee."
Ed's eyes went wide at this. Never had anyone made him food before. Well, except his mother, but that was a long time ago. Roy mistook this as he had done something wrong.
"I'm sorry." He said, looking away sadly. He walked back over to the counter and started washing up the dishes he messed making the food.
Ed blinked. Why is he sorry? Did he do something wrong?
"Why?" he asked. "Why are you sorry?"
The dark-haired man turned, looking straight at the slightly younger of the two.
"Didn't I do something wrong? Did you not want me to repay you for your kindness to an almost stranger?"
Ed then did something very uncharacteristic of himself. He laughed. He shut his eyes, grabbed his stomach and laughed with a smile upon his face. Roy, as though it was infectious, started to slowly chuckle himself. Thinking over what he had just said was cause enough. Not minding Ed's own youthful roar. After they had settled down a bit, Roy seated himself and they began to eat the food that was prepared.
Ed took a bite of the toast, wary of eating any kind of jam, as he had never had any before. Roy must have gone out for this… he thought, finally noticing Roy was fully dressed unlike himself, who was still in pajamas.
"Wow, this is good!" he remarked, taking several more bites to finish off the bread. Roy chuckled at this.
"You've never had jam before, have you?"
Ed shook his head.
"Well, if you want, you could try something else then."
Ed looked at him questioningly, quirking his eyebrow and tilting his head like a puppy.
"You could try putting the eggs and bacon onto a piece of toast."
Ed smiled at the idea and tried it, munching happily.
Breakfast lasted for about a half hour, as the two talked and ate their food in peace. They conversed about general things like science and chemistry and the basic compositions of a few complex chemicals. They debated theories and formulas and just anything they could think of.
Roy stood to clean the dishes once again, telling Ed to head for the shower.
"But it's Sunday. I don't have classes and neither do you."
Roy smiled, "But I have another surprise for you. But, you need to shower and get dressed first."
Sighing, Ed complied with Roy's request, wondering what else the older one had in store for the day.
After exiting the shower, he put on his favorite black leather pants, followed by a black tank top and a soft pale red sweater the was buttoned except for the last two at the top, for ventilation purposes of course. He looked at Roy, who wore dark blue jeans and a white shirt with a dark jacket and white scarf around his neck. They exited the building and left for where ever Roy was taking him.
-T-
The two entered the nearly empty building around 11:30, just making the bus in time for the last trip to the science museum. Ed's eyes went wide at the display set out before him.
Roy smiled as he read off the banner.
Welcome to the Alchemy Exhibit
Reliving Sciences of the Past
Private Showing
Tickets Only Event
Open 11-6
Just then, Roy would swear, on pain of torture, that Ed had looked like a kitten that had been given catnip. He just laughed softly and led the blonde to the first room of the exhibit. They wandered around for hours, looking at various things and enjoying themselves overall.
When it came time to go, Ed turned to Roy and gave him a questioning look.
"Roy?"
"Hmm?" Roy looked over to Ed, wondering what was wrong.
"How did you get tickets to this exhibit?"
Roy laughed. "The owner is a friend of mine. He gives me tickets to lots of these exhibits. I just never had anyone to go with before." A blush crossed his face lightly. "I never had anyone else as interested in science and stuff like I have before. Besides," he added. "I figured it would be a great way to repay you for your kindness from last night." He absently scratched the base of his hair, looking more nervous than before.
Ed smiled. "I thought that was what breakfast was for?"
Roy laughed again. "No. That came after I remembered I had tickets to this. I figured you might want breakfast though, so I went out and got a few things you didn't have and made something for us to eat."
The two exited the museum and walked to the bus stop, waiting for the one that would take them back to the school. Ed turned to Roy once more.
"Then why did you say that earlier? That the food was repayment?"
"I didn't think you would want to go here with me…" Roy gave off a dejected look as the bus pulled up and they got on. Finding two seats together in the back, they sat down next to each other.
"Why would you think that? You know I like science as much as you do."
"Now I do." Roy smiled softly and turned to look out the window, watching as they drew closer to the school.
-T-
They entered Ed's room once more, laughing again over something stupid that had been said by someone on the bus.
Ed had started shivering on the bus. So Roy, ever the gentleman, offered his coat to the smaller male. Ed accepted, but only after affirming that Roy wouldn't be cold if said clothing was given up. Once the coat was about his shoulders, on of their fellow passengers remarked for the two to "Just get a room already and stop being so bashful."
Neither Roy nor Ed had felt like correcting this gentleman about the fact that they were both male and they were just friends. It was just too funny a situation to respond to.
Ed closed the door and peeled off Roy's jacket along with his sweater and hung them up on the coat rack. Roy took off his scarf and placed it next to his jacket. The two proceeded to walk into the kitchen and Roy sat down as Ed made some tea for them to drink. Once the kettle sounded the water was hot enough for tea, they sat in silence and sipped their tea slowly and enjoying the warmth it brought them.
A few more hours of talking brought them to the end of the night once more. Roy looked at the clock.
"Well, I guess I should be going now. I wouldn't want to impose any more than I already have." He smiled as he stood and walked to the door. Ed followed.
"I don't mind, really. You've been a wonderful guest." He grinned at the taller man. "Feel free to stop by any time."
Roy nodded. "I will. Thank you."
Ed laughed. "If you think you're gonna keep thanking me, I won't be able to repay you for all your wasted words. You've thanked me enough already."
Roy opened the door, saying goodnight once more to his new friend and returned to his own room. He traveled down the hallway and turned a few corners, finally reaching his room within minutes. When he looked upon his own door, he noticed a note hanging on the wood. He took it down to read later.
Unlocking the door, he tumbled inside and closed it behind himself, locking it once more. He surveyed the room, once again finding that it did indeed look smaller than Ed's open room with all of the furniture taking up space. Walking over to his bed, he began to undress and gather his things for bed. He walked into the bathroom, wanting to take a shower before retiring for the night. After finishing his shower, he dressed in a t-shirt and a pair of clean boxers and settled on his bed. He reached over and grabbed the note that was on his door, opening it to read.
Dear Roy,
I'm sorry about what happened today.
I didn't mean to upset you.
Please understand,
I love you and I just want to be with you again.
I'll even remove the restraining order if you want.
Give me a call when you read this.
Love,
Riza
Roy proceeded to laugh at this. Like he'd ever call that woman. She was a nightmare waiting to happen. No, he'd just leave her alone and ignore the note. He didn't care for her anymore anyway, so what was the point?
He leaned over and turned out the light as he climbed into his bed, pulling the covers over himself and laying his head onto the pillow. He let himself be pulled into the state of sleep by his mind, drifting off as he remembered the events of the day.
-T-
A loud noise woke him up. He shot straight up in his bed, not knowing what it was that dared disturb his wonderful dream. After searching the room for the fifth time, he noticed his phone was ringing and answered it, hoping that it was a certain blonde, or the person on the other end was in for a serious earful.
"Hello?"
"Roy?"
"Ed?" Yes! His mind screamed. "Why are you calling so late?"
"I could ask you the same thing. Someone just called me and you're the only one with the number besides Dr. Hughes."
"Well, you just woke me up. I couldn't have called while I was asleep."
"If you didn't call me, then who did? I doubt that the Doctor would be one for prank calls in the middle of the night…"
Roy yawned. He was too tired for this damn it. His mind was on auto-pilot right now, as he could not really think on his own for the moment. Calls late at night, a note on his door. This seemed too familiar. Suddenly, Roy's eyes widened. He was awake and alert now. He just remembered what had made this seem too much like déjà vu.
"Riza…" he whispered.
"What?" Ed asked, not able to hear Roy.
Roy looked at his hands a moment before complete realization came upon him.
"Ed! You have to get out of there now! It's not safe!"
"What are you going on about now? You're making no sense…"
"Just listen to me Ed! You need to get over here right now! It's Riza. She's done this to me before. You're in danger if you're alone!"
"What?" Ed sounded puzzled at this statement. "Why would I be in danger from your ex girlfriend?" A knock sounded at his door. Roy heard it and panicked. "Hang on Roy, someone's at the door."
"Don't get that Ed! It's Riza! Don't answer that door!"
"What? Why would she come here? I haven't done anything to her."
Roy knew that didn't matter to Riza. Anyone standing between her and something she wanted was gotten rid of. She had done the same thing to his last girlfriend, though it was never proved in court.
"Ed, just listen to me!" his voice sounding desperate. Ed blinked, noticing this and decided to go with his friends' advice.
"Wha-what would she want with me?"
"She's only going after you to get to me. That's partly the reason I didn't want her seeing you the other day."
Ed nodded his head, understanding the situation a little more now.
"What should I do then?"
Roy sighed, thinking of something.
"Stay there. Don't make any loud noises and stay hidden. I'm going to come over there to make sure you're alright. Call the police after I hang up, just in case. Tell them you think someone is breaking into your room and you're afraid and have no way to defend yourself. Tell them you called me too, so they don't mistake me for Riza as the person breaking in. Okay? Can you do that?"
Ed gave his affirmation and hung up with Roy, quickly dialing the campus police and repeating what Roy had told him to and stayed on the line for safety purposes. He brought the phone over to the closet and closed the door, making sure not to lock himself in.
-T-
Roy rushed out of his room over to Ed's, hoping he wasn't too late. As soon as he got there, he noticed the door had been broken open with force. Thinking the worst, he ran faster and into the room, looking for the golden haired occupant. When he entered, however, he saw that the lights were on and there were several men in the room.
Everyone looked up at Roy when he came into Ed's room.
"Roy!" Ed stood up from his bed and ran over to the man, hugging him effectively. "I was so scared! It was Riza! She broke down my door and started searching my room for me. She almost found me because she saw my phone cord leading to the closet, when the police came in and arrested her. I was so scared!" he proceeded to cry into the taller man's shirt and hugged him closer.
Roy gently stroked Ed's back, soothing him down. He pulled the smaller man into his arms and lifted him from the ground.
"Who are you?" one of the officers asked.
"I'm his friend. I told him to call you when we heard the knocking on the door this late at night. I rushed over as fast as I could to help him." Roy sighed and looked down at the mass of blonde that continued to sob on him. "Does he need to stay, or can I take him with me?"
"Well, we don't have anymore questions right now. We can wait until morning for anything further. Do you have a safe place to take him?" he asked.
Roy nodded, telling him that Ed could stay with him until everything was taken care of. The officer nodded and handed him a card with his name on it, saying to call if there was anymore trouble.
"Thank you, Officer Havoc." Roy said, and he meant it. Had Ed not tried to find out who called him, he might not be here right now. He was grateful that the police got there so quickly.
"No problem, Boss. He was lucky that some of us were close by when his call came in. We were patrolling the halls because someone noticed an unusual car in the lot. It didn't have any tags for the school, so we were looking for its owner. Good thing too." Havoc smiled.
Roy retuned the smile and took, the now sleeping, Edward to his room. They had had a very tiring and trying day. He didn't want anything else to go wrong. Once he was inside, he locked the door and placed Ed in his bed, pulling up the covers and tucking him in. Roy, in turn, decided to take the couch and headed in that direction. A tug on the sleeve of his shirt stopped him, however. He turned his head to find out what had stopped him, though Roy's mind was fairly certain of what this was.
Two puffy golden eyes looked at him through slits of red as he was stared at by the blonde.
"Can you… stay? If only for a little while?" Ed sighed, pulling the covers up to his chin and turning to his side. "Can you stay with me?"
Roy looked almost shocked at the suggestion, wanting nothing more than to comply with Ed's request. He looked into those hurt golden eyes and opened his mouth to refuse, explaining it might not be a great idea, when he heard the one thing he just couldn't say no to.
"Please?"
So? What did you think? Good? Great! Then I can keep writing this story. XD
Roy: What did that have to do with anything?
Ed: Yeah?
Me: Well, if you'd remember your dream at the beginning, this fits in perfectly. -smirks in triumph-
Ed: What dream?
Roy: The dream I was telling Hughes about when this mess started.
Me: Mess? MESS? WHAT ARE YOU CALLING A MESS?
Roy: This story, and it's just a figure of speech.
Me: -rolls eyes- Whatever...
Ed: Well, I'm just gonna let you two work this out.
Me: Oh yeah, I almost forgot!
Roy: What? Like you did with the plot?
Me: Gah! Stop that! I didn't forget the plot! It's right there! -points to fic-
Ed: Calm down, okay? Just say goodbye to your readers.
Me: -sighes- Okay. --turns to readers- Okay, I demand 25 reviews this time. I got the last 15 too soon and my muse left me from the shock of it all. It took long enough to convince her to come back and help me. Anyways, let me know if you liked or hated this.
Roy: And any flames will be used by me to lit the fire in the fire place.
Me: Heh, please review?
