Golden eyes glared heatedly at the piles of boxes that surrounded him, an irritated sigh escaping his lips. "Roy, remind me again why I agreed to moving in with you?" he asked, closing another box and taping it shut before turning to face the other. "I hate dealing with all this crap! That's the problem with moving! You have to pack everything just to turn around and unpack it!"
"Edward, would you stop complaining and just finish packing. I know you're irritated that the movers just had to call at the worst time possible but your attitude isn't helping anyone." Roy answered, glancing around at the nearly box filled house. "And the reason you agreed was because you wanted to get away from Winry. Or do you want to be stalked by some crazy blonde with a wrench in her hand that tries to hit you with it every time you turn around?" Roy asked, smirking at Ed's face.
"Well...who called the movers anyways? I don't remember doing that! I just remember agreeing to come live with you after the diner with Riza and Al!" Ed spoke, crossing his arms in irritation.
"I did that night after we got back from the skating rink. You were just too tired to remember. Now stop acting like a child." Roy stated, sighing as the other glared at him, grumbling as he went back to packing his boxes. Silence ensued as the two continued to pack, neither wanting to break it.
Soon, a low growl could be heard, reaching the raven haired man's ears. Looking over, he let out a soft chuckle shaking his head before finishing off the box he was working on and heading over to Ed. "Ed, let's take a break, we'll go out to eat." he spoke, holding out a hand to help the other up.
Ed smiled gratefully, taking his hand and quickly heading towards the door. "Let's go then!" he cried, already opening the door and heading out to the car, Roy shaking his head as he followed after him.
"Edward, would you calm down? We're only going out to eat." he said as he climbed into the driver's seat, shutting the door and putting the key into the ignition.
"I know but I'm hungry. I didn't get to eat last night after we left." he said, crossing his arms and sliding down in his seat.
"Neither did I because of a certain someone in this car because he had to act like such a child." Roy spoke, glancing at the other, smirk on his face as he saw the pout the other had on. "And don't try to get any sympathy. You had more than enough time last night to get something to eat after we got home."
Edward said nothing in reply as they began to drive, golden eyes staring out the window. After several minutes Edward turned to face him, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Hey Roy...can you tell me what Al meant last night? I mean, I think I have a right to know if it involves me and my well being." he said, soon turning his eyes forward once more.
Roy glanced over at the other, dark eyes taking in what he saw. After several minutes of silence, he sighed, stopping the car in a restaurant parking lot, turning to face the other. "Edward, I wish you would just forget about it. All he meant was that he asked me to watch over you while he was away. He didn't know that our relationship would come into play when he asked me that. I think he might have forgotten that I was gay."
Ed looked at him, brows furrowed. "Was he paying you for this?" he asked, arms crossed as he waited for an answer, golden eyes assessing the other.
"No Edward. He was or will not be paying me for watching over you. I want to do this if you haven't noticed already." Roy said, leaning over and placing a peck on the other's lips. "Now would you stop worrying? I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. Now let's go eat." he said as he climbed out of the car, waiting for Ed at the entrance of the restaurant.
Ed followed behind him, not saying anything, a small smile on his face.
A red coat was thrown to the floor as Edward entered the house, eyes glaring at the piles of boxes in his living room. "We're almost done Edward, don't worry, you won't have to deal with this for much longer. And then you'll be able to see my house. And we can finally get some alone time without Riza, Al, or Winry to interrupt us. Does that sound good to you?" he asked, hands slowly rubbing the others shoulders, rubbing the stress of moving away.
"Yeah...it does. I'm tired of this whole moving thing. I didn't think it would be so soon! And with nothing to do all day since I quit my job, I'm starting to get fat from all the food I've been eating!" he complained, poking his stomach as he glared at it.
"Don't worry Ed, when all this is over, you'll burn that weight fast enough." Roy said before removing his hands and heading towards the kitchen to pack the items in there.
"What?" Ed asked, eyes watching the other man walk away. Roy only smirked in answer as he began to remove things from the cabinets and put them into boxes. "What do you mean by that?" he asked once more, hands moving to his hips.
"Ed, do you realize you look like a girl when you do that?" Roy asked, leaning on the counter with a smirk on his face, eyes shining in a quiet delight in annoying the other.
"Roy! I do not! And quit getting off the subject!" Ed whined, stomping his foot childishly. Roy shook his head, black hair swaying softly. As he began to walk back to Edward's sides, a soft sigh escaped his lips, reaching the other, fingertips running across the smooth skin on the blonde's face. "Roy…" Ed sighed, gently closing his eyes at the feeling of the other's skin.
"Edward, do you realize how much of a child you are?" he asked, smiling at the other. A scowl appeared on Ed's face, hand shooting up and grabbing the older's wrist, stopping its motions. "Edward, it's not meant as an insult."
"I find that hard to believe." Ed said, glaring at the other before he began walking to the next room to begin packing there, not wanting to be near the dark haired man anymore.
"Edward, stopping being impossible. No wonder why no one wanted to go out with you before. No one would be able to stand you!" Roy said, anger flashing in his eyes for a second before he immediately regretted saying it.
The blonde stopped in his tracks, turning slowly to face the other. "You bastard. How can you say that? How would you know that in the first place? You bastard!" Ed yelled, angrily glaring at the other. He walked up to the other, hands fisted before stopping in front of him, Roy standing stock still.
"Edward, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Roy said, eyes begging the other for forgiveness. The older almost flinched back when the younger raised a hand, slowly inching it towards his face. Slowly he relaxed as Ed placed it on his cheek, softly running his fingers across it.
Whack!
Roy brought a hand to his face, eyes wide. "You bastard! I don't want to hear anything from you! How dare you!" he cried, tears streaming down his face. Suddenly, he turned on his heel, rushing out the door, not bothering to close the door after him.
Roy stared after him, hand on his cheek covering the red spot that began to show. "Damnit, why couldn't I have kept my mouth shut?" he said to himself, fisting his free hand up. Not wasting anymore time, he raced after the blonde, slamming the door behind him as he tried to keep Edward in sight.
