Chapter 3

A throbbing pain stabbed at Ed's head as he slowly opened his eyes. He stared up at an unfamiliar ceiling and a sudden wave of panic washed over him.

"Fullmetal?" A familiar voice whispered and calmed his nervousness.

"Yeah..." He managed to mumble in response, wondering if he was just dreaming; it wouldn't be the first time he'd dreamt of waking up in Col. Mustang's room.

"Good, you're conscious," he said, placing a wet cloth to Edward's forehead.

"Umm…Colonel?" he asked blearily, "What happened …where am I?"

"You're in my house," Roy said, "I found you, passed out, in the library. You had a pretty bad fever and I couldn't just leave you… I don't know where your apartment is so I brought you here."

"What about Aru? He's going to be expecting me home…I don't want him to worry."

"I've already spoken with your brother, he agreed that it would be best for you to spend the night."

"Spend the night!" Ed sat straight up in the bed, a new panic seizing his mind.

He shook his head and smirked, "It's already three in the morning, and you've already spent most of the night here."

Ed blushed; it was strange to think he'd been sleeping in Mustang's bed. He looked around the room; it was exactly as he has imagined it would be. The dark wine-coloured walls, lit only by dim candlelight made the room seem warm and comforting. The bed was large, much larger than it needed to be for only just one person (though when one thought about the reputation he had, it made sense), with crisp black sheets and a heavy down comforter. It was neat and organized, but still inviting and even…romantic. The only thing that surprised him was that on the night table was a picture of him and Mustang. He remembered taking that picture…he had been forced into it against his will and the annoyed look on his face clearly showed that. He wondered why Roy had kept it, let alone why he kept it near his bed. The blush on his face deepened and he suddenly felt dizzy.

"Are you alright, Edward?" Roy asked, noticing the flushed look on the teenager's face, "You really should be lying down."

Ed nodded weakly and rested his head on a soft pillow. He breathed deeply, taking in the rough, fiery scent, which permeated not only the bed, the entire room. It was intoxicating.

He was beginning to drift back to sleep when he felt movement on the mattress and notice that Mustang had gotten off the bed and was walking toward the door. Ed didn't want him to leave; he had felt safe with Roy watching over him. He sat up again, his brother's warning of "You really should tell him, Nii-san…while you still can." ringing in his head.

"Umm...Colonel?" he said weakly, feeling rather foolish, "Please, don't leave…"

He turned around and smiled, "There's no need for such formalities... you can call me Roy."

"Okay, Roy…"

Sitting back down on the bed, Mustang gently swept a few strands of Ed's unruly blonde bangs away from his eyes. Ed blushed brightly, and pulled his face away from Roy's hand.

"Roy…" Edward began, still feeling a bit uncomfortable with calling him by his name, "I-I need to tell you something…"

"Yes?" he responded, not allowing any anticipation or emotion show in his voice.

He tried to take a deep breath, but he was trembling too much.

"I've wanted to say this for awhile, but I've never been able to…" his voice wavered, "and now, I-I can't really afford to keep it to myself anymore, because I may never get another chance and well…"

Roy smiled as he watch the young alchemist stumble over his words. Ed could be so cute sometimes.

"Edward…" He said, interrupting Ed's rather pitious attempt at a confession of love. It was obvious he had no clue what to do, so Roy decided to take matters into his own hands.

He looked up, glad that he didn't need to speak, "Y-Yes?"

Without any more words exchanged, Roy placed his hands on the sides of Ed's face. Ed leaned into his touch and closed his eyes. Slowly, he moved closer until he could feel Ed's trembling breath against his skin. "I love you, Edward," he said, barely above a whisper before gently brushing his lips against those of the young blonde. Slowly, Roy slid his hands behind Edward's head, pulling him closer. Ed stifled a gasp as he felt the pressure of Roy's tongue against his lower lip. He parted his lips, allowing Roy to deepen the kiss.

After a few moments, Ed pulled away, flushed and panting. He stared into Roy's eyes, unsure of what to say. Ed threw his arms around Roy's body, burying his face in the curve of his neck.

"I love you, too…" he mumbled, almost inaudibly.

Roy simply smiled and wrapped his arms protectively around Edward's small frame. It was strange to think that Ed wouldn't always be here…that in a few months he'd be gone. Roy pushed those thoughts out of his mind; Ed was here now, and that was the only thing that mattered.
