SEVEN
There was a bruise on his cheek.
He would've noticed it had he not been distracted by being late. Jocelyn just didn't want to get up and it was made worse when Mike said to just beat her. He gave him a look that said if he put a hand on her, he'd do something about it and then turned to dress her while she continued to doze. Mike whined the entire time saying that it was stupid that he would spoil the girl although it was known that he didn't even pay attention to that. Mike was the worst attention seeker there was and when he noticed that he didn't hear a word he said, he hit him. It got Jocelyn crying and Mike profusely apologized but he ignored it in favor of caring for the now sniffling child.
"You don't love me! What would you do if you broke up with me anyways? Huh? I know that you would just whore yourself away!"
Roy tried to ignore it but after reassuring himself that she was fine, he left her out in the car for a few minutes and put his arms around the pouting man. He really was nice when he wasn't in a mood and he loved his daughter as well he reminded himself. The man relaxed and traced the reddened cheek, a token from his anger earlier.
"I'm sorry baby. Just don't leave me, I can't ever leave you."
Roy nodded.
"Don't worry, I know you didn't mean it."
Mike seemed almost reassured and pressed his lips against Roy's, smoothing back his hair and trying to make his way all over Roy's body. The man groaned when he noticed what he was doing but Mike ignored him. He finally pulled him to eye level and put his own tongue in his mouth, making Mike's eyes widen in surprise. He pulled away with a smirk and went to leave but was pinned on the wall before he could even try.
"Come on, she's in the car. What could happen?"
"I'm not having sex with you while Jocelyn is out there!"
Mike scowled.
"Come on, I'll even use a condom if you're still whining about that. I doubt what you said was actually the truth." He was more determined than ever now it seemed to pull Roy's clothes off of him.
"You don't think I had Jocelyn? It is the most painful thing I've experienced, other than that it would be the complicated case of bronchitis I had. I could have sworn I would have died."
Mike smirked again.
"Sure, you keep telling yourself that. I'm sure everyone else would deny the fact that you actually had her. Her mother ought to have been proud though. She is cute. I mean if I wasn't doing you I might have turned to her. Funny thing is, I'm not very much into toddlers but there have been one case-"
Roy groaned before going slack. Mike seemed to be gloating now as he was free to pull his pants down and then his boxers without any resistance from the other man at all. He pushed his fingers into Roy's mouth without warning and then shoved them into his entrance, scissoring his way through. He may be a down right bastard but he still cared about not hurting Roy as much as he could prevent it. Roy still winced when he slammed his way in but calmed down enough to moan when he hit the bundle of nerves. Mike continued to hit that same spot and Roy couldn't help but let out squeals of pleasure. He quickened the pace and released himself inside before pulling out. Roy looked at him and glared.
"You said you were going to use a condom."
"Don't worry what is the worst that could happen doll?"
If there was one thing that Roy hated more than baby face, it was the nickname doll. Glaring, he pulled his boxers and pants back up before going back towards the car. Great now he was going to be feeling what they just did all day, he thought idly. Mike ran up to him and ran a hand through his hair before claiming Roy's lips again.
"I do love you, you know."
Roy nodded.
"I know."
"You love me too right?" Whatever Mike was looking for must have gotten him severely disappointed because he shook his head and turned away.
Roy felt terrible because he hadn't said anything about it. It was loveless on his part but it wasn't all that bad to him. He liked the feeling of being loved, he just couldn't love him. Noticing that Jocelyn was still in the car, he quickly went and checked her over. She seemed fine so before he could tell him anything, he found himself in the passenger seat.
"I'm going to drive okay. I can take Jocelyn to the beach."
Roy felt safer taking his daughter to the babysitter's himself especially after the admission that he'd touch his daughter the same way Mike touched him if he hadn't been willing. He winced when he remembered the words uttered only about five minutes ago. Mike finally sighed.
"I do love you, ya know. You may not love anybody but Jocelyn but the heart learns every day. It learns new things. You'd be surprised by how the heart could learn to do such a thing. It could be completely shattered and all it takes is somebody's love to do that." Not your love, Roy thought to himself.
"Jessica wanted to do something with her today already," he lied. Mike seemed to buy it for the time being.
He may have insisted on going with him but he hadn't once asked about a recount of what Jessica told him. He must be scared to find out what I know about his kids' situation, Roy mused. He hadn't known a thing but if he was making threats like that about his daughter he could finally see why the man wasn't allowed to see them so much.
"You're late sir. Fullmetal has been here for a good twenty minutes."
"Right, send him into my office."
When he turned to face her, he noticed that she had gone quiet and gave her a questioning look. One that was returned until she suddenly noticed that he knew she was staring at him. She quickly cleared her throat and saluted him before leaving to do as he asked.
Fullmetal was in there before he could even count to ten. For a short kid, he sure was fast he mused. He smirked thinking of all the ways that he could make him flustered. It was just so cute. He noticed him give him an odd look and had to prevent himself from frowning. He couldn't have the brat worry about him. He already worried over the brat constantly. He idly wondered if the Fullmetal kid was this obnoxious in a relationship but quickly shook his head. Bad thoughts, he had to get rid of them. There was no room for that especially since it would make him a pedophile. He had a two year old for god's sake.
"Edward stop the shit."
"Stop demanding me-you actually called me by name. Are you sick Colonel?"
Roy shook his head before adapting a smirk that he knew Ed would hate and sure enough the kid seemed to get mad.
"Ed why do we waste all of this funding on your wild goose chases? Where's the stone huh? Leads turn up nothing. Ed, where'd you go," he made as if he was looking for him and then leaned over giving him a bigger smirk if at all possible. "Oh there you are my mistake. I couldn't quite see you there behind all my paperwork-"
"IF YOU EVER DID YOUR PAPERWORK WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE!"
He didn't care what anybody told him. Messing with Fullmetal was fun.
He promised Alexis that he would visit soon. He was transferring to East and Mike admitted that they should maybe separate for a little while, have a break. He did however seem to think it was a good idea to give him a black eye when he had asked if it meant that he had just dumped him. Apparently Mike didn't want to let go of him for long. The make out sessions were just as rough if not more since he was heading away soon.
Biting and licking down his neck, he seemed to be savoring it for this was the last time in a while that they would be having intercourse. Roy was just lucky that his daughter was in a different part and couldn't hear it. Mike slid down and massaged his buttocks getting a startled gasp from Roy.
"What are you doing?"
"Shush. You wanna top tonight? You are always complaining about having no condoms anyways."
Roy thought about it before nodding. He wasn't exactly new to this since Hughes had let him top once in a while as well. He was just out of practice. He started by light nibbles and kisses down his neck and chest down to his navel. Grabbing a lotion bottle he was about to slick his fingers when Mike grabbed his hand. Startled he looked over only to see Mike smile.
"Just get in there okay."
Roy nodded and did as he was told. Mike moaned below him while he continued to thrust at an even pace. He slowly worked the speed up much to Mike's annoyance but once he found what he was aiming for, he started slamming into him much like Mike always done to him. He released and slid out lying beside him whilst trying to catch his breath. Mike let out a hearty breath.
"Not all it's cracked up to be huh? It's hard work being on top."
"Which is why I usually prefer the bottom anyways." Roy mumbled from his position. Mike just snuggled closer.
"Who ever thought you were so good anyways. I thought you never topped."
"I was with girls for some and I did top occasionally. Just when they thought it was good ya know? It's nothing to worry about anymore. You don't have any competition."
Mike nodded.
"I better not be because I'd probably be jealous as fuck."
Roy silently agreed, willing him to not touch around his eye for the next week until the bruise faded. He was always jealous and mean. He was happy that he slept in his shorts even when he had sex because Jocelyn often came in with her blanket and laid against his back like she used to do before Mike was introduced into their lives. Her raven black hair came in rivulets down her back and ended where the shoulder blades met. She seemed to be more like Roy than anybody would admit because like him, she slept on her side with her mouth slightly open.
Mike saw this and suppressed a grin. The brat was always sneaking into bed and he bet if he threw her out, Roy wouldn't be too tolerant with him. He did keep saying that if he touched a hair on the innocent child's head, he'd be out the door before he could say sorry. Seems he cared more about her feelings and life than he had even his own. He knew the buttons to press to get him to do things as well. He smirked.
This ought to be fun.
"Mr. Don, what a pleasant surprise."
Jocelyn ran and fell into Hayley. She would have been laughing had she not bumped her head. Hayley just helped her up and Rosalie seemed absent. Jocelyn and Hayley ran off to the sandbox leaving the adults there to talk. Roy just smiled at the sister-like qualities that they already showed. He winced, holding his side but that didn't stop him from trying to reassure Alexis that he was fine. She seemed worried after that though.
"So how has life been treating you?" Roy asked.
Alexis sighed.
"Matthew is doing good. We can't have any more children it seems though because all the other ones end in miscarriage. He wants a son too but it looks like I could never give him one."
She trailed off and Roy frowned. She just wanted to have one more baby and they couldn't do that. He doubted that she could even afford to try something to get pregnant. Shaking his head, he shook it to get rid of those thoughts. It wasn't the fact that she couldn't get pregnant, it was the fact that she couldn't remain that way. If he remembered correctly it happened before Hayley as well. He let himself smile a little.
"You probably thought Hayley was going to be one as well. Don't worry, you'll get your baby. I have faith in you and even if it's another little girl, you have nothing to worry because your husband seems to love the kids no matter what."
Alexis smiled.
"Surprisingly you can be a suck up. But that's true. He only wishes he has a son but if it were another girl, he would love her as well."
Roy nodded grimacing and doubled over as another wave of pain hit. Alexis didn't want to ignore that and helped him up. She quickly turned to Jennilyn and relayed that she was to watch the smaller kids so that they didn't do anything that would hurt them or get them into trouble.
"What?" Roy whined. It turned into a moan of pain and Alexis was glad that she went with her gut.
"You're going to see Chris of course."
He didn't complain and Alexis knew that it was bad if he wasn't even doing that. When she brought her hand to the door to knock, Beatrice was already opening it. She saw the man and let out a delighted squeal before frowning.
"Is he okay Miss Alexis?"
Alexis didn't want to worry her so she nodded and was about to explain that he only had a tummy ache but it seemed that gaining a year had made her smarter for she let out a long sigh before turning to Roy herself.
"You know Mr. Don, you have a lot of stomach aches. Is it going to give us another kid like Jocelyn? I got all her pictures you sent hanging up in my room."
Alexis tried to keep from giggling. Supposedly what her daddy told her had stuck to her mind that when adults had stomach aches they seemed to have kids. She shook her head realizing that Chris would have fun explaining that to the child when she were older.
"Daddy, Mr. Don is here and he has a stomach ache!"
Chris was fast and helped him into the same spare room he had been in a year and a half ago. Roy curled up ignoring the two talk. It was hard to imagine that he would be in so much pain but he was. Chris finally stopped the talking to examine him. He had already ruled out appendicitis, gallstones, and kidney problems. Sighing, he took out an ultra sound and his eyes widened in shock. Beckoning Alexis closer, he whispered something to her before turning back to Roy.
"Hey buddy, we're going to give you some medicine to make you sleep. It will relieve your pain though. Don't worry though okay. And in the morning we'll change the sheets for you."
Before Roy could ask what anybody meant by that, he was given the medicine. It was fast acting and before he knew it, he was already dozing off.
When Roy woke up in what seemed like a couple hours later, he noticed that it was dark out. It was more than a few hours. He shifted and his eyes widened when he felt something cold and wet. It was a cold realization when he found it to be blood on the sheets. His heart rate started to pick up and he threw the blanket off him only to see a big puddle.
What the hell was going on?
Chris was in not too long later and seemed to read him well despite not seeing him for a while. He smiled sadly.
"Well what did you expect Mr. Don? You need to plan things better. I'm just glad that Jocelyn didn't end up being like that. Could be you are more stressed than you were before or-" He cut himself off seeing the man flinch when he went to show reassurance.
He frowned at that. The only people that he knew flinched away were those used to a good smacking upon the head and it wasn't like this last time. He was more verbal about things as well. Now he stopped complaining and took things as he was told. What have you been up to to this point Mr. Don, he thought and couldn't help but exhale a large amount of breath he had been holding.
"Can you explain why you just suffered through a miscarriage? You had Jocelyn just last year and if I had to guess you'd be just about three months, maybe about sixteen weeks gestation although you're barely showing."
Roy looked surprised but other than frowning didn't say anything.
"Damn it Don we do care about you! Look how you helped us. You helped us without any second thought and we're trying to do the same. We're your friends so just tell us what you've been up to since you left here the last time." He seemed to be at the end of his ropes now but couldn't be blamed.
"I have been dating, probably why I ended up this way as for what I've been doing, mostly boring work in the office. It's always sign this, sign that. Don't slack off-" He stopped when he realized what he meant, his eyes going as huge as saucers. "This was a miscarriage?"
"Of course it was. You have complicated pregnancies. The last one was premature herself. This one couldn't hold on though and died before it even left your stomach it looks like. That blood there isn't yours, it's the baby's."
Roy looked uncomfortable with the blood still being there so Chris helped him up and handed him a towel and clothes. Looking thoroughly confused Chris just nodded with a smile.
"Take a warm bath and then come back, I want to talk to you about something." Roy nodded and did as he was told. It was when he heard the door closed that Chris frowned.
This wasn't a simple case of miscarriage after all and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. In fact, he knew there was more going on than that. And if he didn't get the answers from him, he really did think he could let him just up and go. He'd come back worse for wear.
