Overprotective Little Brother
"Okay, Al. I'm going to tell you something that, A. You cannot tell anyone else yet, and B. You Can't kill me for." Ed looked at the suit of armor which was his brother.
"It can't be that bad can it nii-san?"
"That all depends..."
"Okay, I promise."
"Well okay, you see I didn't get back until this morning, because I spent the night at Roy's..."
"That's not that bad brother! That just means you're getting along better."
"I'm not done Al. Remember that mark that was on my neck a few days ago, that wasn't a bug bite. And I don't actually HAVE to give reports to the colonel anymore." Ed gulped as he got ready to say the last thing.
The wheels in Al's mind began to turn as he realized just what his brother was getting at.
"Nii-san...Are you gay?"
Ed winced at the bluntness of the question. "Um...yes Al."
"Okay...Nii-san if that's what you were worried about, that's okay-"
"And when I said I was limping because My leg hurt...I was lying..."
It was that moment that Roy walked out of the building. Al looked up at him. And then back at Ed.
"Nii-san..."
"Y-yes Al?"
"As I promised I won't tell anyone and I won't hurt YOU..." His gaze turned to Roy.
"Roy?" Ed blinked as he realized that, although he was safe...that meant nothing for his partner.
"Yes?"
"Run."
Ed wasn't so sure that he should have told Al...Because the younger one could be quite over protective of his older brother. It was just like Al to worry about him...Even when there was nothing to be worried out. But either way...
It was Roy who learned not to fuck with an Elric...quite literally.
