Chapter 7
Running. Running. There's no end to this. The darkened path was closing in on Ed. His throat felt so dry, he couldn't even scream. There was no way out of this emptiness.
Help!
Help...
"Ed!"
A shout in the distance? Someone was coming to save him.
"Edward!"
Roy?
"Edo wake up," Roy said shaking Ed awake.
Ed sat straight up. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were wide, and he was sweaty. It was just a dream.
"Are you okay? You were moving a lot and you were moaning in your sleep," Roy said.
"Y-yeah fine." Ed glanced at the clock.7:30 AMalready?
It was time for work anyway. No use trying for more sleep.
"You could've woken me up earlier Roy," he said slowly getting up.
"Well, honestly, I overslept as well. I'm quite exhausted," he said with a smirk.
Ed smiled softly. He was so glad he finally had someone to rely on. The previous night had been perfect and amazing. So worth the years of waiting.
"Come on, I'll make you some breakfast," Roy said kissing Ed's lips softy.
Ed blushed, "I think I'll shower while you cook, is that okay?"
"Of course, my bathroom is there but I know you knew that," he said leaving the room.
Ed hopped into the shower and slowly washed off the sex. His whole body was sore and exhausted but at least he had his memories.
He scrubbed down his chest and abdomen discovering how sensitive his skin still felt. It was as if Roy set him on fire. Ed let out a small moan as he remembered.
As he got out and dried off, he wiped the steam off the mirror and gasped. Right on his neck was a purplish bruise, very noticeably placed.
"That damn bastard!"
Ed hurriedly got dressed and walked into the kitchen where Roy had breakfast ready on the table. He crossed his arms and huffed. Roy took notice and stood waiting.
"Something wrong Ed," he asked.
Ed growled, "tell me how I'm going to explain this bastard!" He said pointing to it.
Roy smiled, "oh Ed whatever do you mean, don't pretend you don't love what I did to you," he said feigning innocence.
He tilted Ed's chin up and kissed him softly, "last night was fantastic Edo, I'm so happy we spent it together."
Damn, his charm. "M-me too," Ed mumbled his face getting hot.
Roy smirked, "hurry and eat we don't want to be too late now do we?"
-later-
"Hey brother!" Al said as he entered their small office.
"Hey Al," Ed smiled. It was finally feeling better than it had in months.
"How was last night," he asked with a wink.
Ed blushed, "hush."
Al sat at his desk across from Ed and they got to work. These murders had caused a massive pile up of paperwork. Ed was already having hand cramps.
"Damn. I just wish we'd catch this guy already," Ed said.
Al nodded just as Riza and Roy walked in. Their faces were grim and expression bleak.
"Another one," Ed asked nervously.
Roy nodded, "this time it was a child.."
As they approached the crime scene and saw the spatters of blood lining the walls, Ed was struck with sadness. It was bad enough it being a kid but it reminded him too much of Nina.
Roy held Ed's hand and sighed, "Faith Reams, age 10. She was last seen at her home here in central, reported missing, and then discovered here at 7:30 AM this morning," he said.
"So he's getting confident. He's abducting in central now. He's close," Ed said.
"You think he's from here," Riza asked.
"Why else would all the bodies be discovered here?"
"Where are the parents," Al asked.
"Mr. and Mrs. Reams we are so very sorry for your loss. I know this is a difficult time for you but we need to ask you a couple of questions," Roy started.
Mrs. Reams wiped her eyes and weeped, "why did you bastards not look for her sooner? She's a little girl!"
"Ma'am I am very sorry," Roy started.
"Military scum can't do a damn thing," Mr. Reams said.
"Sir, in order to catch this bastard and stop him from hurting anyone else we need to know if you noticed anything suspicious," Ed said.
It was silent for a moment. They sat there collecting their thoughts. Ed hated serial killers. Especially ones who killed children. There was no excuse.
Mr. Reams cleared his throat, "there was a man, Faith told me about him, he came to her doing "magic" as she called it, she said he made her a doll out of the grass in a beam of light."
"Alchemy," Ed and Al muttered.
"Did she say what this man looked like," Roy asked.
"S-she just said that he was old and that he had a long white beard," Mrs. Reams said.
It was as good a lead as any, "thank you both so much for your time and we are so sorry for your loss," Ed said.
As the team returned to the car it was silent. All of them were thinking. Forming several scenarios.
"He must live close by. He has kept about the same radius of body dumping, and we know he's an alchemist," Roy said.
"We should get neighbor reports and see if they've seen anything," Ed said.
"Alright, I'll have my team on it."
"We have to catch this bastard."
-later-
Al, Ed, Winry, and Roy all sat down at Roy's dining room table eating. Roy cooked a nice stew, well Winry cooked, Roy observed.
"Stew is the best thing, if I could marry stew I would," Ed said.
Roy laughed, "I can so seeing you being fat and me having to roll you around central Edo."
Ed growled but smiled. Things felt so right with Roy. He was finally happy with how things were going.
"Speaking of marriage," Al started.
They all watched as he got down on one knee in front of Winry and pulled out a ring. Winry gasped and tears began rolling down her cheeks.
"Winry Rockbell, you are my soul, my rock, you have my heart. You nursed my broken body back to health. Would you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes yes yes!" She squealed and jumped up, hugging him.
Ed was shocked. His 17 year old brother, married? No way. He blinked. It was all real.
"Congratulations," Roy said with a smile.
Al looked weary, "brother say something!"
Ed cleared his throat and smiled, "good job Al, you finally got her." He truly was happy and Ed could see that. They smiled at him and all decided to have a toast.
-later-
Winry and Al left leaving Roy and Ed finally alone. Roy smirked at Ed and embraced him, kissing up his neck and to his lips.
"God I've missed your sweet lips Edo," Roy moaned pushing Ed down on the couch.
Their clothes were flying off, "Fuck Roy.."
"Let me have you Ed please?"
"Y-yes."
And with that they made love again and again, satisfying their needs, enveloping themselves in love and happines
