So, I found time to make this chapter. I was very happy that I did. I decided to let Ed and Roy tell their feelings for each other, and trust me, they say it, then express it. Yep yep. I really liked writing this chapter. Probally cause I'm a sick freak. But oh well.

Thanks for all the reviews that I go. You all made me happy.

WARNING: YAOI content in this chapter. Yep

Disclaimer: Still I don't own Full Metal Alchemist, but I did have a dream last night where I did, but that dream will never come true.


Previously on A Leap of Trust:

Roy turned the door handle and looked in. What he saw was what he did not want to see. He looked at the floor and saw blood all over. He noticed that it led to the closet so he walked over and opened the door. What he found were two dry bloody towels. He picked them up and walked back to the door so Ed could see him.

"Edward," Roy said as he looked at him, "What happened, and I want the truth."

At that moment, Ed knew he had just been caught.


Ed didn't know what he was going to say. Roy wanted the truth, and he just couldn't give it to him. What do I say? Maybe I can say something like, um, I don't know. Gosh, this is harder then all the times I've lied.

While Ed was thinking what to say, Roy let go of the towels and they fell to the floor. He walked over to Ed's bed and sat down. He could tell that Ed was thinking what to say and he was hoping that when he said something, it would be the truth. "Ed?" Roy said again as he put a hand on his shoulder.

Ed looked at Roy and slightly jumped when he heard his name. He didn't know he was sitting on his bed. "What?" Ed tried to put on his smart-ass face, but couldn't seem to find it. He was to mesmerized by the fact that Mustang's hand was on his shoulder.

"Ed, tell me why there is blood in the floor, and on two towels." Roy said again trying to keep his cool. He knew Ed knew what he wanted but him playing dumb was getting on his nerves.

Shit! I don't know what to... oh wait.. I have a good one. Ed thought to himself. He looked Roy in the eyes with a hint of sadness to make his story pass. "I kinda coughed up blood. I tried to clean it up, but I it just kept smearing. I wanted to tell you," at this point in time, Ed had fake tears rolling down his face, "but I was afraid about what you would do." Ed put his face in his hands and sobbed trying to make Roy believe him.

Roy thought his heart stopped beating when he saw Ed cry. He didn't believe the story at all until he cried. He knew with those tears, that it had to be real. Roy's eyes were wide as Ed finished telling what happened. He didn't know what to do. He grabbed Ed and picked him up bridal style and rushed out of the room picking up his keys on a table as he made his way for his car.

Ed didn't know what was going on. He saw the car come in sight and started to hit Roy on the shoulders. "What are you doing! Let me go!" he yelled. He didn't like where all this was going.

"Ed, stop! I can't carry you with you hitting me." Roy said winching every time the auto-mail arm hit him.

"Where are you taking me you bastard!" Ed screamed, making it seem more like a statement then a question.

"Ed, I have to take you back to the hospital. Something might of happened and we have to get it checked out. Now stop!" Roy stated while he opened the car door and sat Ed in the passenger seat.

Ed stopped moving. It was like he froze on the spot as soon as Roy told him where they were going. 'No no no!! I can't go back. They'll find out. I can't go!' Ed tried to scream those words to Roy, but he couldn't seem to find his voice. Ed just starred out the front window as Roy got into the driver's seat and started to car.


As they pulled into the hospital, Roy looked over at Ed, and noticed he was still looking out the front window. "Ed."

Ed didn't move or show any signs of even hearing his name. "Ed!" Roy yelled again and reached over and shook him. Roy could now see Ed was pale and his body seemed cold. 'He's like a dead body' Roy thought as he pulled his had back. He got out of the car and ran over to Ed's side and opened the door.

Roy kneeled on the ground and turned Ed to face him. He started to shake him a little more, and still there was no movement. "Ed, come on. What's wrong? Ed!" Roy yelled. He pulled his arms back and sat there hoping that maybe he would come to his senses without him yelling.

Ed started to come back from his thoughts as he felt Roy pull his hands away. He slowly tilted his head down and made contact with Roy as a tear slid down his face. "Roy," Ed said softly. "No." And with that he rased his auto-mail arm to his chest, and as quickly and as hard as possible, moved it down across the deep cut on his chest. He flinched a little, and then his eyes slid closed and he fell forward.

Roy caught Ed just as soon as he fell. "Ed! What in the world. Ed! Wake up!" Roy shouted as he stood up with the boy in his arms. Roy picked Ed back up bridal style and started to carry him to the entrance when something on Ed's chest caught his attention. Seeping through his shirt, was blood and lots of it. Roy's eyes opened wider and he started to run to the doors with Ed's limp body in his arms.

He rushed in and up to the front desk and the same nurse that was taking care of Ed was there. "Colonel, what a surprise." She looked down at Ed in his arms and saw the blood. Her eyes widened and she shot her head back up to Roy. "Right this way Colonel." She ran out from behind the desk and quickly walked to a room with Roy following behind.


3 hours after arriving at the hospital, Roy sat beside Ed's bed again for that second time. He had his arms on the bed and his head leaning on them as he waited for the doctor to come in and tell him what was wrong. Roy's head shot up as he heard the door open. He turned his head and the doctor walked in.

"Colonel Mustang sir?" The doctor asked as he pulled a chair up to sit down by Roy.

"Yes?" Roy replied with a slight worry on his face.

"So the nurse told me what happened. You found blood in the bathroom and you said that he coughed up blood. Am I right?" He asked looking down at his clipboard.

"Yes, that's what he told me." Roy said turning his head a little to look at Ed's sleeping form.

"And then when you got here, he was pale and cold to the touch, and when you went to get him out, he put his hand to his chest, and then passed out?" The doctor asked looking up from his clipboard.

"That's right. Now tell me, what happened?" Roy asked turning his head back to look at the doctor.

"Well, after we looked at him, we determined that he lied about coughing up blood. There was no damage to his lungs, so he couldn't have." The doctor looked over to Ed and then back to Roy. He could see the sadness in Roy's eyes deepen as he told him.

"Well, then were did all the blood come from, and his chest?"

"Well, the blood on his chest came from a deep cut. We can only conclude that the blood in the bathroom came from the cut as well. When you all were outside of here, and he put his hand to his chest, he caused it to open again," the doctor didn't look to happy giving the news to Roy, but he had to. "He should be waking up soon. I'll leave you alone with him," and with that, he got up and left the room.

Roy turned to Ed and put his hand on his. "Ed, why in the hell would you be so stupid again? If something was wrong, you know you can come to talk to me. We already had this discussion. You have to stop this. I bet you did this cause of something I did." Roy looked at Ed's face.

Ed looked peaceful sleeping, and Roy knew that now would be the best time to let Ed know how he feels. "Ed," Roy leaned in close. "I love you." Roy slowly placed his lips on Ed and gave him a kiss. When Roy leaned back up, he saw that Ed's eyes were open and starring at him.

"Roy..." Was all that could escape Ed's mouth at that moment.

"Ed. I'm sorry." Roy looked away. He knew he shouldn't have done that, but he just couldn't help it.

"Don't be." Ed put his hand on Roy's and pulled it slightly to get him to turn around.

Roy turned with the pull of his hand and made eye contact with Ed again. "I love you to Roy," Ed said as he pulled Roy down and into another kiss, but this one longer then the first.

To both of them, it felt like the world had came to a stand still. They were both there and happy. They were also happy that they finally got everything off their chest. Roy pulled away slowly so the kiss would linger on for a few more seconds. "Ed," Roy said gaining his breath.

"Roy," was the only reply Ed could give.

"You don't know how long I've waited for that," Roy put his hand on Ed's cheek and Ed leaned into it.

"Probably the same as me. I've loved you from the first time I saw you. I've never really felt this way for someone and I'm glad I only feel it for you, Roy," Ed said as he put his hand on Roy's.

Roy sat down on the bed with Ed and looked him in the eyes, "The same goes for me Ed." Roy smiled and then the moment was ruined when the doctor came in.

"Ah, looks like your awake Edward. It seems you gave us a slight scare, but other then that, you are ok. We would like you to stay here over night so we can make sure nothing happens to that cut on your chest," the doctor looked back down at his clipboard and turned some pages.

Ed looked at Roy with sadness in his eyes. Roy didn't know if it was from being found out or from the fact that he had to stay another night. He didn't want to have Ed stay in the hospital again. He hated being in there himself. "Can I just take him home? We don't want to be a bother because you all have more serious patients. I can take care of him at my house," Roy looked to the doctor as he looked up from his clipboard.

"Well, I guess I could let you all go. Just, keep an eye out on him Colonel. We don't want another thing like this to happen again." The doctor handed him the clipboard to a page and then a pen. "Sign right here, and you all may leave."

Roy took the clipboard and pen and signed where he was told and looked back to Ed. He saw a hint of happiness in his eyes but sadness still remained. When the doctor walked out, Roy grabbed Ed's hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it. "No more of this Edward. I don't want you to scare me anymore. If something is bothering you, tell me ok?"

Ed could tell he was sad and he hated that it was his fault. "Ok, but promise me, that you will never bring me back here. I really don't like it." Ed said putting on a little grin earning a little chuckle and his hair being ruffled.

The nurse came in with the wheelchair and Ed looked at Roy. Roy could already tell what Ed wanted and waved the nurse away. "We won't be needing the wheelchair." Roy bent down and scooped Ed up and carried him out of the room and down the hall.

Ed leaned his head on Roy's chest and sighed. He loved feeling like this, but wasn't sure if he should be excited or not because Roy could change his mind. He was hoping that he wouldn't. Ed slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep in Roy's arms.

Roy looked down at the sleeping Edward and let out a quick laugh as he made it to his car. He opened the passenger side and carefully sat Ed in the seat. He walked around and got into his seat and started the car. He looked over at Ed one more time and headed out for home.


When Ed awoke hours after being home, he was slightly happy but yet still sad. He knew Roy would ask for the truth again, and this time, he planed on giving it to him. He could smell something cooking and it smelled good. He sat up in bed as the door opened and in came Roy with a tray full of food. He placed it in front of Ed and sat on the other side of the bed.

Ed looked at Roy and grinned. It had all of his favorites; eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, and hash browns, with orange juice to drink. He didn't know how he knew all his favorites, so he guessed that he called Al and asked. By the way it looked, it must have been morning because he would never eat this if it wasn't.

"Ed," Roy said softly while Ed was finishing off his meal.

Ed looked over at Roy and took a drink of his juice. "Yes Roy?" Ed knew this is where he would be asked for the truth, and for once, he was not worried about giving the answer.

"What exactly caused the blood in the bathroom?" Roy knew the real truth, but wanted to hear it from Ed.

"I, well, the day you brought me here, I..." Ed stopped for a minute and fake clapped his hands, pointed to his auto-mail, and then raised his shirt to reveal a bandaged cut along his chest. He knew Roy would understand what he was pointing out since it was pretty obvious.

Roy nodded his head and closed his eyes trying not to picture it. "Why Ed?"

"Well, I felt bad for hitting you and Shad told me to do it and he would leave me alone," Ed put his hand to his mouth when he realized he just told Roy about Shad.

Roy looked at Ed and put a hand on his arm. "Shad... who's that?"

"He's me, well, in my head, but he's just the opposite of me. He's taller and has long black hair. He wouldn't leave me alone, and, told me that the only way he would, would be to do it. I wanted him to shut up, so I did. I didn't think it would hurt you. I'm sorry Roy," Ed looked down.

Roy couldn't believe what he was hearing. Ed had another verison of himself in his head and he's telling him to do all this? Why would anyone do it even if they did? Roy moved the tray from Ed's lap and sat it to the side. He leaned over and gave Ed a hug. "Don't worry about him anymore. I'll keep him away. I promise."

Ed put his arms around Roy and hugged him tight. "Thank you."

Roy pulled away from the hug and kissed Ed again. He laid Ed down on his back and moved the covers off his body to reveal only Ed in a shirt and his black boxers. Roy took in the beautiful sight of Edward and slowly started to leave little butterfly kisses on his neck. Ed moaned a little as Roy's hands started to slowly explore his body.

Ed put his hands on Roy's chest and pushed way. "I'm scared Roy," Ed said blushing slightly. "I've never felt like this, and I'm worried about it."

"If you want me to stop, just say so, and I will Ed. I won't do anything that you don't want me to, and I would never hurt you," Roy said looking Ed in the eyes and smiling.

Ed thought about it for a moment before he nodded. "I want this, but, I'm just afraid of getting hurt."

"Remember, I won't hurt you," Roy said as he slowly pulled off Ed's shirt.

Ed felt all the blood rush to his groin as Roy trailed kisses down his chest and stopped at his boxers. "Are you sure you want this Ed? I can stop at anytime."

"I want this more then anything right now. It'll let me know that you do love me."

Roy nodded his head and slowly pulled off Ed's boxers and tossed them off the bed. He started to rub his fingers up Ed's thighs and heard Ed moan as he lightly brushed the tip of his erection.

Ed started to tug on Roy's shirt to get it off. Roy raised up to eye level with Ed and helped him take it off, then followed by his pants and boxers. Ed starred at Roy's already hardened erection. Roy caught this and Ed blushed. "Don't be so shy Ed, it's just me."

Roy kissed Ed once more before he moved between Ed's legs and pushed them apart. He slowly started to stroke Ed's member and then bent down and took it in his mouth. Ed let out a loud moan as Roy took it all the way to the base. Roy moved up and down until Ed was practically panting.

Roy stopped and sat up "Wh... why did you... stop?" Ed asked between each pant.

"Don't worry. It'll get better," Roy reached over and opened the drawer to Ed's right and grabbed a bottle of oil that he always kept in there. He opened it and put some on his fingers. "This is your last chance Ed. Are you sure?"

"I've never been this sure in my life."

Roy nodded again and slowly put his fingers at Ed's entrance. "This will hurt a little, so try to relax." Ed nodded and Roy slowly pushed in with one finger. Ed winced and tightened around Roy. "Relax Ed." Roy leaned up and kissed Ed as he slid his finger in farther.

He let his finger sit there until he could tell Ed was relaxing, and then started to move it in and out. Ed let out a low moan as Roy got faster and faster with his movements. Roy added a second finger and Ed didn't know if he was to yell in pain or pleasure, so he did both.

Roy moved his fingers in faster to prepare Ed for him, but he had to find something first. Roy knew he found it when Ed arched his back and moaned loudly. Roy hit the spot a few more times to make sure he had it in mind before he slowly slid his fingers out. He then put some more oil on his hand and then onto his already painful member.

He positioned himself at Ed's entrance and looked at Ed. He slowly pushed in and watched Ed's face flush with pain. He leaned down again and kissed him as he continued to push in until he was full sheathed inside. "It hurts Roy," Ed said with a tear rolling down his cheek.

"Shhh... just relax and it will stop hurting. I'm not doing this on purpose, I promise," Roy wiped away the tear and kissed Ed's cheek.

"I know." Ed relaxed until he felt the pain go away and the pleasure return. "Move."

Roy was happy to comply and pulled out only leaving the tip in. He then pushed in aiming for the spot he found and hit it causing Ed to arch again and moan. Ed threw his arms around Roy's shoulders and held on. "Fas... ter.. Roy.." Ed managed to breath out.

Roy started to go faster and harder into Ed but not so that he knew it would cause more pain then he needed. He wanted to make Ed's first time enjoyable and something that he would always remember.

Ed remembered the pattern and started to thrust with Roy so that every thrust would hit that certain spot. Roy felt Ed getting close to his release, so he grabbed for Ed's member and started to stroke with the thrusts.

Ed started to see white in his eyes and could see lust in Roy's. A few more hits on his spot and Ed came all over his and Roy's chest and hand with a long, loud, drawn out moan and yell of Roy's name. Roy felt Ed close on his member and couldn't hold back anymore. "Ed," Roy yelled and came.

He rode out the pleasure until he couldn't hold himself up anymore. He laid Ed back on the bed and collapsed on top of him. He slowly slid out and laid beside Ed. Roy put his arms around Ed and pulled him close to him and then grabbed the cover and threw it over them.

Roy could tell Ed was tired by the way he was breathing and had his eyes closed. "Go to sleep Ed. You'll need your strength in the morning."

"Alright. You better be here when I wake up. I love you Roy.

"I love you to Ed," Roy said as he leaned over and kissed Ed on the cheek.

He laid his head back on the pillow and listened for Ed's breathing to even out. When it did, he knew Ed was asleep, and then he followed.


Author note:

I bet I have some happy readers out there for this, and if you didn't notice, it's longer. Haha, I think it's funny. Maybe I have to make all my chapters with a lusty scene in it to get it longer. Hmmm... naw, I don't think I would do that, because it would kill me just having to write that many. I can tell you, my next chapter may be a lot shorter, but I am not sure. I will not know till I write it.

Which brings me to my next question, any idea's for my next chapter?
