Chapter 4:A Happy Reunion
A/N: hello I'm back with another chapter of my RoyEd story. thank you all for your wonderful reviews. i am so grateful that people are actually interested in my story. well heres chapter 4 so...ENJOY!!
Words finally found Edwards mouth. "Dad? Is that really you?" He was rubbing his eyes and shaking his head, making sure he wasn't losing his mind. He soon realized he wasn't just seeing things and tears of joy filled his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He then ran over and jumped into his fathers arms. "Dad. I'm so glad you're here. I thought you were dead. I've missed you…"
"And I've missed you to, Edward. My son." Tears were running down his fathers face as well.
"But dad, how are you here? They said you were dead….." Ed was very happy but very confused as well. He didn't really know what was going on but at that moment he didn't really care. He was just happy to have his father back.
"Umm…Ed?" Roy sounded guilty and Ed was even more confused by this.
"W-what Roy?" the three men were now sitting down. Ed and his father on the couch and Roy in a chair across from them.
"Umm…I've known Hoenheim was alive all this time. I know he's your father and I probably should have told you but I knew you'd go looking for him and that would have meant more danger for him. I'm so sorry." Roy bowed his head towards Ed. "Please forgive me…"
"Roy….Of course I forgive you. Dad what kind of danger are you in?"
"Well, none now. But if it wasn't for our wonderful Fuher I wouldn't be alive. Thank you Mr. Mustang."
"Your welcome Mr. Elric. But please call me Roy."
"Okay. And you can just call me Hoenheim."
"Okay."
Hoenheim decided that it was time to change the subject and turns to his son to ask a question that's been on his mind. "So what's this big news that Roy said you had for me?" Edward looked dumbfounded by the question but then he thought about it for a few seconds and he then figured it out and looked at Roy and batted his eyes, adorably, while he spoke.
"Ohhh Rooooyy! Can I speak to you in private for a moment? Pleeaase?"
"Umm… Sure." Ed grabbed his hand and pulled off toward the kitchen. "Please excuse us for a moment." Hoenheim just nodded as he watched his son drag Roy into the kitchen confused.
"Roy, didn't you tell my father about us?"
"Well no. I thought you'd want to tell him."
"Well yeah but…. I thought….." Roy now had his arms around his waist and was rubbing against his lover from behind.
"Come on Ed. He's your father. You're the one who needs to tell him."
"Yeah but I thought you'd at least tell him that we're dating. I mean he's probably wondering why two grown men are living together."
"Maybe he thinks that that his son got kicked out of wherever he was living and the furher, being an old friend, was just nice enough to let him stay here until he finds a new place."
"Well that does sound like something my dad would think. But it was hard enough to tell Winry we could no longer be together because I was in love with my boss and then I had to explain to Al why their were bite marks all over my neck after I got out of a meeting with you…..."
"But we didn't get together until about a year after you and Winry broke up."
"Yeah but I had feelings for you for awhile before we got together…." Ed looked at the floor.
"And so did I." Roy then turned Ed around and started to kiss him passionately. Ed kissed back and they started to get really into it, forgetting about Ed's father being in the other room. Things were starting to heat up as Roy cleared the kitchen table and pushed his lover onto it while never breaking the kiss. As they progressed Ed was ripping the older mans shirt off and Roy had already ripped Ed's shirt off and was now undoing the youngers pants. They were all hot and sweaty and didn't plan on stopping until they were finished until they heard someone cough and came back to reality, realizing that Ed's father was standing in the doorway watching them in disbelief. They just starred at the man like two deer stuck in the headlights of a truck. Until the older man spoke.
"Well, this sure is awkward." Everybody just sort of looked to the floor until Edward started to speak.
"Hey…..Well….Me and Roy are together." Ed just smiled, nervously, as he said this scratching the back of his head.
"I can see that." Ed and Roy then put on what was left of their shirts and Ed pulled his pants back up and fastened them. The three of them then went into the living room to talk. This time Ed and Roy on the couch with Roys arm around Ed's waist and his father now in the chair across from them.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier dad."
"That's okay. I can understand why you didn't tell me right away. It's very hard to come out of the closet to your parents."
"Well we were actually on our way to tell you our big news when we got sidetracked and then….well….you know."
"Yeah. I'm sorry for intruding but I heard something break and I thought somebody was getting hurt."
"Oh. Sorry that was Roy. He was clearing off the table and everything just kinda flew off it."
"So was that your big news or is their something else you wanted to tell me?"
"Well that was actually only part one of the big news."
"So what's part two?" Edward extended his hand so his father could see the ring on his finger.
"We're getting married!"
"Wow. This really is big news. I'm very happy for you both."
"So you're not disappointed?" asked a rather nervous Edward.
"No I'm just surprised. I always thought Al would be the one to grow up gay but I guess I was wrong since you're the one marring a man and Alphonse married Winry. I'm actually rather proud of you son."
"Really?! Thanks dad. You don't know how much those few words mean to me." Tears were once again falling from the young blonde's eyes and he was just so happy. Then the thought of his mother arose in his mind and he had to ask his father one more question. "Dad?" his voice was now serious.
"What Edward?"
"Do you think mom would approve as well? You know, of me and Roy?"
"Yes. I'm sure she would be thrilled. She only wanted you boys to be happy. As long as your happy she's happy."
"You know, that's what Al told me when I asked him the same question. Now I'm sure it's true."
"Speaking of Al when can I see my younger son?"
"Well him and Winry are probably in bed by now and he works early tomorrow morning." As soon as Ed said this Roys eyes widened.
"No he doesn't." Roy just smirked as he said this.
"What are you talking about? You have him scheduled to work at seven-thirty in the morning."
"Edward, did you forget that I'm the furher?"
"No but what does that have to do with anything?"
"Well Alphonse does not have to work tomorrow nor do you either." He directed this last part at Ed and his father.
"I get what you're saying now. So do you want me to call Al?"
"No. He always stops here on his way to work. You can surprise him then." Hoenheim gave Roy and odd look.
"Why does he stop here?"
"We all usually drive to work together. But since Ed here no longer works for the state…."
"What do you mean I don't work for the state? I'm a state alchemist! The Fullmetal Alchemist at that!"
"Not anymore as of now."
"What?! Why?!" Ed was very confused once again for the hundredth time today.
"It's a dangerous job and I know you don't like it. You never wanted to be a 'dog of the military' anyway. Plus I never want to come home and you not be here." Ed was happy that this man cared for him so deeply.
"Oh Roy…" He covered his lovers lips with his own and started another passionate kiss, until they heard another familiar cough. They stopped and looked over to Hoenheim who was looking rather awkward in the situation. Both blushed. "Sorry dad. We're just so used to being alone this time of night…."
"It's okay. It is your house."
"So, do you want a pair of pajamas? I think mine might fit you." Roy asked his soon to be father-in-law.
"Sure. I think I'll go to bed then. I am rather tired." Hoenheim said with a yawn as he stretched out his arms and stood up. Then Roy gave him a pair of pajamas and led him into the guest room.
"This is where you can stay. I hope it is to your liking."
"Thank you Roy. I'm sure I'll be just fine." Hoenheim went over and sat on the queen sized bed placed in the middle of the room.
"Well then. Sleep well. Goodnight." Roy left the room and back to his own that he shared with the young blond. Who just happened to be waiting up for him. Oh how much he loved the man. He had promised himself that he would never let anything happen to the blond. But he never thought about what could happen to him……..
