Roy came back to the apartment at lunch time and Edward was sitting on the end chair of the counter, waiting for him to come in he had a book open in front of him. As Roy entered Edward turned to look at him as he started to slip his boots off.

"Um Hello," He said to Ed who was still staring at him, "Is there something on my face?" He wondered.

Edward was trying to think of the best way to go about asking Roy about sexual books, without the panther demon running out the door. Of course the Blonde didn't know he had just been staring at him. He blinked, "Oh no sorry. I just there is something Indeed to ask you." Edward said looking back down at his book so not to keep being creepy and staring at Roy.

Roy walked into the apartment and stood next to Edward, which caused the young cub to feel even more nervous. Alphonse looked up from the corner of the room he had been reading a book as well. Since that was really there was to do in this apartment then looked back down at his book.

Edward really needed to get some cards or something and note book of his own. "Alright ask away," Roy said leaning on the counter he noted Ed was once again reading one of his Journals this one was of the 5th addition to his study on alchemy.

"Well, I was um wondering if you could walk me to the Library, I need to get some books on a subject I don't know to much about. I mean Alphonse said he'd go with me, I think it be even more safe if you came along." Edward decided being veg would be good then again Roy would see the books.

"Alright that sounds like a good idea to me, so what books are you interested in seems you are about done with my library of alchemy." Roy chuckled he was swishing his tail contently.

"Well I um... Want to learn... About Sexual things and um mating and that kind of stuff." Edward said all in a really swift tone of voice keeping his eyes on the bottom of the paper.

"Ah ok," Roy didn't get as flustered, "I could tell you things if your interested in knowing." Roy offered which made Edward's mouth go dry he felt like he was starting so sweat bullets.

"Um I think it would be better if I got the books first, I mean I don't even know what to ask you." Edward said fiddling with this fingers in front of himself.

"Well first of all," Roy said turning Edward to look at him holding his hands, "Relax before you faint from not breathing." Roy tilted Ed's chin up so he could look at him. Also this gave Roy the pretty view of how the blush on his cheeks made him look so cute.

"Right," Edward took a deep breath and let it out even if Roy was holding his hands.

"Then why don't we make some tea and you can ask me whatever comes to your mind." Roy said standing up and walking over to the tea pot.

"Ok..." Edward thought up a question, or one that was there the entire time, "What does it mean when I look at someone, and I can't seem to think, my heart starts pounding I get all sweaty?" It was a long question but this was the first one he could think of.

"Well first of all that sounds like you really like someone, in a mating sort of way. But Can you smell the warmth in their blood that is meant only for you. If you can do that, that means they are your mate. If not it means you really like some one." Roy said with a shrugging.

Edward had noticed he always loved how Roy smelled, "Oh..." Edward answered softly... "So erm is that also why my... um you know gets all tight in my my pants!? Cause I am smelling my mate what if its a boy!?" Edward then brought the book up over his face so he didn't have to look at Roy.

Roy finished getting the tea ready then came over and put the book down, "Yes, its ok if you like a boy its normal your mate is your mate." He said looking Edward in the eyes. "If your around your mate, you will not want to be with anyone else after that. You'll want to cling to them and protect them from everything. Also of course have sex." Roy rubbed his thumbs over Edward's knuckles... "But only when they are ready, or in heat I am sorry but if two mates are together during either ones heat. We mate no matter what, that is what we are for. Once you find your mate... your mating tunnel opens only for them and it feels really wonderful... Or so I have been told I haven't actually found my mate yet..." Though Roy was no idiot he was beginning to believe it was Edward. He loved how he smelled of course he has been more and more protective of him. Roy had smelled this even when Ed was eleven Roy has been fighting himself and the thoughts ever sense it was much easier when he was so far away. Now his little mate has come to him.

"Wow really?" Edward seemed happy to hear this, "And I never guessed sexual things would feel good." Edward said not minding Roy's warm hands in his.

"Well that is cause you have had a terrible experiences before you could find out the enjoyment of it." Roy growled a bit at the thought... Then he pulled Edward into his body pressing his cheek against some of his buttons. "Don't worry no one will ever harm you again not so long as I am around!" Roy said petting Edward on his head and hugging him firmly.

Alphonse sighed well least they didn't have to go out now but really getting more books would be nice. For some reason this made Al cringe his brother with his mate. This was a typical little brother reaction.
