Thanks everyone!
The luminescence of the moon was overthrown by the dark clouds racing across the sky. With those black clouds came the hard downpour of rain accompanied by the violent booms and bright streaks across the darkness. Roy woke with a jolt, clutching his blanket tightly. His pulse was racing faster than ever from the sudden sound of thunder and the crack of lightning. He hated this type of weather. He spent the remainder of that night in his bed holding on tightly to his blanket with his eyes screwed shut and heart racing.
By sunrise, the thunder and lightning moved on leaving only a light rain. Roy moaned in protest as his alarm clock started beeping. He left his bed and started going through the morning ritual he partook in every morning to get ready for school.
His night had been terrible, and his day was starting to follow in the night's footsteps.
He opened his car door, the rain making wet dots on his clothes, and got inside. He found the right key, put it in the ignition, turned it, and was rewarded with the terrible prize of a sputtering engine instead of the normal purr.
"Shit," he muttered under his breath as he turned the key once more. "No, no, no, this can't be happening! Baby, please don't do this to me!"
He slammed his open palm on the top of the steering wheel and let loose a chain of highly inappropriate words. He knew that today was not going to be a good day. He was tired as hell, his car wouldn't start, it was raining, and the weather forecast announced that today the weather was only going to get worse.
He got out of his car, slamming the door shut which caused water to shoot off the car at him. He looked up at the raining sky and waited, as if the weather would miraculously clear up and the sun would come out just so he wouldn't have to walk to school in the rain. Because he rarely walked to school, he didn't have an umbrella for such occasions.
Roy pulled the hood of his jacket up over his head and dug his hands deep in his pockets as he started slowly walking down the sidewalk. As he was walking, he got a feeling that there was someone behind him. And sure enough, as he turned around, there his favorite blond was.
Edward and Winry were walking side by side, Ed holding an umbrella over their heads, more over Winry's than his own; such a gentleman.
Roy waited until the blond duo got closer.
"Good morning," Roy said to them.
"Hey, Winry, you go on ahead," Ed said, handing her the umbrella. She shrugged and started walking off, Ed and Roy following far behind her. "Not driving?"
"Nope, she decided to be difficult today and won't start," Roy replied sadly. He loved his car.
"Jeez, Roy, you look tired," Ed remarked.
"Yeah, didn't sleep much last night," Roy said and lowered his voice for what else he had to say, "but I know what'll make it all better."
He stopped Ed to cup his cheek in his hand. Slowly he lowered his lips onto Ed's for a kiss. As he pulled back, he laughed at seeing Ed's red face and his gold eyes looking around frantically to see if anyone had seen the display of affection.
"Knew that would work," Roy said, his voice now lighter and face brighter with a smile. He started walking ahead leaving Ed standing there.
"Hey! Now you just wait a minute!" Ed yelled as he ran up next to Roy. "You can't just keep stealing kisses! Not in public!"
"I believe I did," Roy replied coolly, rain still kissing their bodies. He placed a hand in Ed's wet hair and looked down at him with a smile.
Ed gave a "humph" of defeat and crossed his arms over his chest.
As soon as they got into the main hallway of the school, they looked at each other and started shaking the water off of them much like a dog would. A group of nearby girls yelped as water landed on their dry outfits; they put their noses in the air and gave a grunt of disgust as they walked away. Roy and Ed looked at each other and laughed. It was rather comical to them how girls cared so much about their appearance even in this sort of weather.
Together they walked to the locker area, but they didn't get there without hearing the constant hum of whispers and seeing the pointing fingers. So many things about them were up in the air. Some of the whispers talked about how strange it was that someone like Roy Mustang was friends with someone like Edward Elric. Some of the whispers talked about the awesome dodgeball match in PE yesterday. Some of the whispers were still talking about Ed's automail limbs and the incident from Tuesday with Zolf Kimblee and his buddies. But majority of the whispers spoke of the alchemy incident that had occurred during yesterday history class.
As Ed started twisting the dial of his lock to open his locker, Roy propped up next to him, when the PA system cut through the air, "Edward Elric to Room 9-18."
"Need me to go with you?" Roy asked.
"No, I'll be fine. See 'ya later," Ed said as he started to head for the classroom he'd been called to.
Roy being Roy followed Ed at a distance. He watched as Ed walked into the history room, and then propped himself against the outside wall close to the open door to hear.
The room was full of teachers and the principal was even there. They were running their hands hesitantly over the ornate doorway Ed had created yesterday out of the board.
"Oh yeah, um...sorry about that," Ed said as he walked up to the door, clapped his hands, and changed it back to it's original form.
"See! I'm not crazy!" the history teacher yelled. "I told you he was using alchemy! But no, no, no, you all just thought I was crazy!"
"Well, I wouldn't expect anything less from an Elric," the principal said as he placed a hand on Ed's right shoulder.
"Sir?" Ed asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Now, what do you propose we do about this situation? You do realize Mr. Elric that as an alchemist you do pose as a threat to the other students and staff," the principal said.
"We can't keep him enrolled at this school surely. If a fight breaks out or he loses his temper, then someone could get seriously hurt," one of the teachers said.
"But think of how better protected the school would be with an alchemist as a student. The world isn't safe anymore, and there's been numerous school shooting across the country. I think we should keep him here," another teacher said.
"You can't be serious! He's an alchemist! He works along side the devil!" a third teacher yelled.
After that was said, every staff member in the room chose a side. One side was to kick Ed out of the school, another side was to keep him enrolled, and the third side was just in aggreance that alchemy was devilwork. All three sides started yelling at each other in a heated argument over what to do with the small, blond, artificial-limbed alchemist, Edward Elric.
Ed sighed and took a seat in a nearby desk. The prinicipal's frustration was increasing greatly, and Ed was mentally counting the seconds until the normally kind, old man would snap.
'1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8..'
"EVERYONE QUIET!" the principal yelled and everyone immediately followed the command. "Y'all are squabbling like the teenage students y'all teach! Seriously, get a grip! You're all adults! Now, I think it should be up to Mr. Elric to decide whether to stay or leave."
Everyone's gaze went to the small blond.
'Please stay, please stay, please stay. Dammit, Ed, answer already!' Roy thought.
"Hmm, well, despite the ridicule from fellow classmates and teachers alike, I'd like to stay if that's okay. And yes, I understand everyone's concern about me being able to use alchemy while the other students can't. No, I won't turn to alchemy in a fight...well...not on school grounds anyway; I believe in playing fair. And yes, in the event that something does happen that will cause harm to others, I swear that I will do whatever I can with my alchemy to help, like in case of a school shooting or fire or whatever. But I will say one thing, I'm not going to take any nonsense from the others anymore, like with what happened this past Tuesday. I won't use alchemy, but I can't help it if I swing with a metal arm," Ed said and casted his eyes into each teachers, waiting for a challenge or protest.
"That seems fair enough," the principal said, sticking out his hand. For the first time in a very long time, Ed shook the man's hand with his automail. This gesture ended any more arguing or discussion as every teacher returned to their former rooms and the principal went back to the office which left only Ed and the history teacher in the room.
The young teacher took a desk next to Ed, and they looked at each. Their backs were to the door, so Roy popped his head in to watch. None of the teachers had noticed Roy standing there when they had walked out.
"Edward, I have a very personal question for you. Yesterday before you left you said that you lost your arm and leg from alchemy. How? And if alchemy's that dangerous, then why do you still use it?" the teacher asked. Ed looked at her, and debated on whether to answer truthfully or not.
"I lost my arm and leg from my own stupidity. It wasn't alchemy's fault I was arrogant and naive. Besides, I've never been one to run away and give up," Ed replied simply.
"But...what did you do?"
"Tried to bring the dead back to life," Ed said, then rose from his seat and left the classroom, ending the discussion. Roy quickly ducked his head out of the door so that Ed wouldn't see him.
As Ed walked out of the classroom, Roy grabbed him and pulled the small body close to his. They were close enough that Roy decided to take advantage of the short distance and steal a quick kiss. As they pulled away, Ed was ready to start yelling, but as he opened his mouth the bell rang and Roy scurried off. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at the small alchemist as he ran (literally, lest he feel the wrath of Ed) away.
'That Roy...' Ed thought with a smile, placing his hands deep in his pockets and walking down the hall among the other students to get to class.
Like always, Ed set his forehead on the cold desk and closed his eyes. Soon after, he was in a deep sleep and a dream decided to visit his mind...
"Oh, Roy!" the small blond cried out in pure ecstasy as Roy's mouth savagely bit down on his nipple. He intertwined his fingers in the black locks as Roy pushed them to the floor.
His tongue worked downward, dipping into Ed's naval, but before he could go any further he had to remove the last article of clothing. As his lips kissed random spaces of skin on Ed's abdomen, his hands started pulling the thin boxers down until they were no longer in the way.
He continued his descent on the blond, placing the head of...
Ed woke with a jolt. Several people around him starting chuckling, and Ed set his beet-red face back down on his desk, but he daren't fall back asleep.
'T-that wasn't suppose to happen...That was the weirdest dream...I've never dreamt about something like that and with Roy, of all people! Ok, ok, well...so long as I don't have the exact same dream twice, then it won't come true. Right? Isn't that how that old wives's tale goes? But what if I do have the exact same dream twice? I wonder...would I enjoy it?' Ed thought. 'Damn you, Roy! Ah!'
((A/N: I was always told that if you have the same dream twice, then that means it'll come true. Just go with it.))
The day carried on like normal, or as close to normal as possible. It was still raining and as the day got older, the rain got heavier and the sky blacker.
That damn dream he had stayed vivid in his mind for majority of the day, but in his final class of the day...he was dumb enough to fall asleep again, and of course, he dreamt the same dream. It started in the same spot and ended there too, and again, he woke with a jolt and red face, cursing Roy's name.
As he sat in desk waiting for the bell to ring, his mind ran rampant with thought after thought.
'I wonder what it'll feel like if we ever did something like that...How will Roy be towards me?...Ugh, I can't believe I'm actually thinking about this, of all things. But I really am curious about it...Pft, teenage hormones. That's all it is. But no, I don't think that's it...No, I think it's more than that. I think it's actual desire. I think I actually wanna...'
The final bell rang, and Ed left the room.
The rain was falling in a relentless downpour with the wind making worse.
Roy was standing under the pavilion that extended from the main entrance of the school, looking up at the sky white-faced. Before Ed could speak, a bolt of lightning raced across the dark sky accompanied by the loud boom of thunder. Roy yelped and grabbed Ed's left hand tightly.
"C'mon, let's go!" he said quickly and they took off at a run.
Ed had no clue what was going on, but Roy was holding on to his hand as if his life depended on it. The rain was falling harder now and lightning was shooting across the sky with thunder. Everytime the sky would light up, Ed would feel Roy's grip tighten and he wondered why.
They ran down the sidewalk, their feet splashing the puddles of water. It wasn't long until they got into the dry safety of Roy's apartment. Roy's face was white as a ghost as he stood up against the closed door. A roar of thunder. Ed was surprised to see Roy duck with a yelp.
"Um...Roy? You okay?" Ed asked.
Roy stood up slowly and walked over to Ed. He looked embarrassed to Ed.
"Astraphobia," Roy said simply.
"What?"
"I have a fear of thunder and lightning..."
"Oh."
It got quiet and Roy looked at Ed, "You're not laughing?"
"Nope," Ed said with a smile.
Roy shrugged and walked past him into the kitchen; his sneakers squeaked on the floor as he walked. Ed followed, his own shoes singing along. A trail of water was made from the door all the way to the kitchen. They were both soaking wet.
They sat down at the table across from each other. Roy propped his head in his hands and gazed at Ed with his black, ired eyes.
"Ed, do you ever fight back?" Roy asked.
Ed was caught off-guard by the question.
"I mean, when I was listening on your discussion with the teachers this morning, you said that you weren't going to take any nonsense from the others, but I've never seen you fight back before. You didn't Tuesday when Zolf and his buddies ganged up on you in the hallway," Roy added, but not without a yawn.
"Err...Well, let's just say that being with that bastard for so many years, I learned quick to avoid any further injury to shut up and deal with it. I'm starting to come out of that though, or I think I am anyway," Ed replied, and Roy nodded with another yawn which was turned into a yelp of surprise as another clap of thunder sounded through the air.
"Roy, if you tired, then go to bed," Ed suggested as Roy continued his yawning.
"Not in this weather. I'm tired as hell, but I won't be able to sleep with all this thundering..." Roy said and a look crossed him as though he had an idea. "Unless, of course, you come with me."
"What? How is that going to solve anything?"
"Well, it's a safety thing, I guess. When I was younger and the weather would get like this, I'd go and sleep in my parents' bed. Well, they got tired of me interrupting their nights, so they got me a dog. I always slept better with someone or something else with me, and you're here, so it might as well be you," Roy said. "Well, if you want too...I won't make you, even though I could...I mean, I-"
Ed smiled, stood up, and took Roy's hand to pull him out of the seat. He led them to Roy's room. Ed let go of his hand and started slowly stripping off the wet clothing.
"Ed...uh...what are you doing?"
"Don't want to get your bed all wet," Ed said and was down to his red boxers.
Roy shrugged and started to take off his own clothes, thinking as he did, 'I wonder how long until this gets very awkward for Ed. This should be interesting. Never thought Ed would act like this either. Hmm...Wonder what he's planning...'
Once he was down to his blue boxers, he led Ed to the bed and they laid on the small twin together. Roy wrapped his arms around the small body, pressing Ed's back tightly against him. It wasn't long until the comforting warmth from the body made him drift off into a deep sleep, the thunder and lightning forgotten.
Three hours ticked by before Roy opened his eyes with a heavy sigh into the damp, golden locks. He smiled; Ed was fast asleep in his arms. Roy's right arm was underneath Ed and was numb, having fallen asleep. He pulled his arm out from underneath the petite frame which caused Ed to roll on his stomach. Roy looked at the scarred back and frowned. He couldn't resist as his fingers traced over the scars with ghost-like touches. He thought about counting the scars, but that would probably be impossible; there were so many and you couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. It was so saddening.
Roy watched the small body shudder from the tingling touches. A soft moan came from Ed's throat as he opened his eyes to meet Roy's gaze.
"Hello," Roy said softly and reached out his hand to stroke Ed's cheek. Surprising to Roy, Ed took his hand and kissed the palm of it. He then gave Roy such a smile, one that Roy had never seen before from anyone.
Ed turned so that his back was to Roy which confused him a bit.
"Hey, Roy...um...have you...um...who...Oh, nevermind."
"No, what is it?" Roy asked.
"You've...um...had sex before, right?"
"Yes," Roy replied, and wondered what prompted the unexpected question.
"Many times?"
"I wouldn't say many, but a few. Why?"
"Well, what does...what does it feel like to have it with someone you love?" Ed asked at last, though he stumbled through the personal question.
Roy grabbed him gently by the shoulder and turned him on his back so that he could straddle Ed's small hips. He pressed his lips softly against Ed's.
"Do you want to find out?" he asked, his breath hot and heavy against Ed's soft lips. Roy expected to be pushed away or yelled at or struck by the teen, but he was surprised by the answer.
"Yes," Ed replied in a rather shaky voice.
Roy kissed Ed once more on the lips before making a wet trail down his neck.
"R-Roy, wait, I...I've never done this before one my own terms," Ed said.
Roy smiled and took Ed's chin in his hand.
"If you want me stop, just tell me and I swear that I will. Don't worry about a thing, just try to relax, ok? I'm not going to hurt you, I swear it," Roy said sweetly then leaned down for another kiss on Ed's soft lips.
Ed forced his body to relax, and told himself that this was going to be something completely new. He felt...safe. Yeah, safe. He felt as if he didn't have to worry about anything with Roy. He knew that Roy would be nothing like that bastard.
The skin of his chest went sensitive as Roy's lips and hot breath ghosted over every inch of skin. Ed could hear his heart pounding in his chest and was sure Roy could hear it too. A soft moan escaped past his lips as Roy's tongue swirled around his nipple. A gasp followed by a cried out name came forth as Roy bit down on the delicate skin. Ed placed his right hand on the back of Roy's neck, and upon realizing what hand he was using he retracted. Roy sat up and looked at him confused.
"Sorry...I forget..." Ed muttered.
"Nonsense, I love every part of you. Flesh or metal," Roy said with a light chuckle and smile as he took the automail limb and placed it back on his body.
Roy returned to his task by running his tongue straight down Ed's front, dipping into his naval, but he stopped once he reached the intruding red fabric. He took into faith that if Ed wanted to stop, he'd tell him, so Roy slowly moved his hands to the elastic band of the boxers. Slowly as if they had forever, Roy pulled them down and got them discarded to the floor. He took a moment to look at the teen underneath him and was, quite frankly, impressed. What Ed didn't have in height, he made up for elsewhere. Just as slowly, Roy pulled off his own boxers. Now they were both naked for each other to see.
Roy ran his hand over Ed's length earning a moan. He placed one finger at Ed's lips, saying, "So I don't hurt you." Ed took the finger in his mouth and starting running his tongue over the long digit, then Roy pushed two more fingers in. Once he was satisfied that they were coated enough in Ed's saliva, he removed them and positioned himself between Ed's legs.
He casted a glance at Ed for him to prepare himself, not knowing if it would hurt Ed or not. After a moment, he pushed one finger in the dark entrance. It didn't seem to bother Ed at all, so Roy pushed in another finger. Ed gasped softly as Roy started to make a scissoring motion with the fingers, stretching the entrance. A third and final finger went in. Roy watched Ed bite down briefly on his lower lip. He made another scissoring motion with the three fingers, with his free hand he played with Ed's hardened member. He pulled his fingers out and lifted Ed's hip.
Roy leaned forward, the head of his member probing Ed's entrance, he placed his left hand against Ed cheek and gazed lovingly into the seemingly endless golden eyes.
"I love you," he whispered as he pushed himself halfway into the small body.
Slowly, Roy pulled out and slowly he pushed back in. He decided he should take a slow pace for now. He really didn't want to hurt Ed, and given Ed's past, he wasn't sure what would happen. Them doing this could cause Ed to have a sudden mental breakdown, for all Roy knew. Luckily that didn't happen.
Ed moaned as he felt a wave of warmth run through his body. He could feel Roy quickening his pace, and his moans increased. Roy's name rolled off of his tongue in pure ecstasy. He'd never known anything like this before. Yes, this was indeed something completely new. It wasn't long until Ed fell into the rhythm Roy had created and they became one. Their bodies rocked and swayed in perfect unison. He delighted in the warmth of Roy's body as the raven-haired teen leaned into him to kiss random skin.
He felt Roy pull him up, and now they were in a different position. Now Ed was practically sitting in his lap, and somehow Roy was still managing to push and pull himself in and out of Ed by gripping his hips.
Ed wrapped his arms around Roy's neck as he let forth the loudest moan of the night. Roy kissed at the base of Ed's neck before biting down lightly on the area.
Now, it was Roy's turn to moan in pleasure as he was starting to reach a climax. With one final great push, Roy released himself in Ed with a relieving sighing moan. He collapsed on Ed, making them go back into their former position.
They were both breathless and sweat glistened off their bodies from the moonlight that drifted in the room from the window. Moonlight?
Are you ready?
Ready, Steady, can't hold me back
Ed leaned over the bed, Roy moving off the small body, and rummaged through the still-wet jeans until he found the source of the noise.
Ready, Steady, give me good luck
Ready, Ste-
"Hello?" he asked into his cell.
"Edward Elric, where the hell are you!?" an angry Winry yelled loudly into the phone; Roy could even hear her.
"I'm at Roy's. Sorry, but with the weather so bad..." Ed bit down hard on his lip to suppress the moan that threatened to escape as Roy placed the head of Ed's length in his mouth.
"Sorry, Winry, gotta go!" Ed said quickly, almost too fast to be coherent. He flipped his phone shut and let it fall to the floor. Finally he let out his captured moan as Roy started bobbing his head up and down on Ed's length.
He wimpered in protest when Roy stopped and looked up at him.
"C'mon," Roy said with a wink as he took Ed by the hand and led him down the hall to the bathroom for a shower.
An hour later they were back in Roy's bed, Roy holding Ed tightly. Roy ran his fingers through the wet locks of wheat colored hair as he peered into Ed's eyes.
"Ed, I love you," he said softly then placed a small kiss on Ed's forehead brushing stray bangs away as he did.
Ed smiled brightly. He knew that Roy meant it, and that made everything worth it.
"I love you too," Ed said in just as soft a voice and returned the kiss. As he pulled back, he yawned, and Roy laughed lightly. "Roy, promise me that you'll never leave me."
"I promise, Ed. I'd never leave you," Roy said with a smile and kissed Ed's forehead once more.
'So this is what it's like to love and be loved,' Ed thought before dozing off in Roy's arms.
So there you have! I hate to say it, but personally, I think this is the worst chapter in this fic. And I don't think I did too good a job on the sex scene either, but I tried! That's gotta count for something, right? Well, anyways, thanks for reading and please review! I love reviews!
:)
