Edwardsgirl16: I'm back!!

Yami Edwardsgirl16: Correction, we're back.

Edsgrl16: Whatevs. Anyway, sorry I haven't uploaded in a while but what with school and friends and other stories…

Yami: Especially the puppyshipping holiday one because there are 2 times when there are, like, 3 holidays in the same week and it really sucks!

Edsgrl16: So, without further advice, The Bet! This chapter doesn't have a lot of lemony stuff because my brain isn't working properly and I'm under pressure to write my first boy/girl lemon.

Yami: Scientists are still trying to figure out why we can write boy/boy stuff but we can't write boy/girl stuff. You'd think Edsgrl16 and me being a girl and a boy (my Yami is a boy) could figure it out, but we can't. Sadness. : (

Edsgrl16: Well, enough with the pointless author notes. On with the story!!!

"Mmhm…"

"Come on, Roy, wake up."

"Ugh…five more minutes…"

"Roy!! Let me go!! Riza will kill you if you don't get going!!"

Roy groaned and released his grip on Edward's arm and the blonde stepped back a bit, smoothing down his sleeve. He was in a dark blue silk button-down shirt, a pair of black slacks, and a pair of black sneakers, standing in front of Roy's desk in Central Command. "How long was I asleep?" Roy asked, running a hand through his hair a couple times.

"About an hour, I think," Edward replied, crossing his arms. "I need to go get dinner and you get off work soon. Can I go?" Roy waved his hand dismissively and the blonde headed out of the office and out of the building, heading downtown. What the hell am I gonna do for dinner? Edward thought as he walked into a grocery store. Looking around a little, he grabbed what he needed and headed back to Roy's house.

"What's wrong?! What's wrong?! You bastard! You raped me and you seem totally fine with it!! You didn't ask, you just did it!!!!"

"May I remind you, you begged me."

The argument he had with Roy yesterday came screaming back to him as he walked into the house, tossing the keys on the kitchen counter and walking up to his room after setting all the food down. Edward pulled off his shirt and reached into his box of clothes, grabbing a black T-shirt. As he was pulling it on, he walked past a mirror and noticed the purple mark still between his neck and left shoulder. Pressing down on it slightly, the blonde winced and pulled his shirt down all the way.

That's never gonna go away, he thought, pulling out a pot from under Roy's counter. He filled it halfway with water and set it on the slowly heating burner before leaning over the counter, his head in his hands.

"Maybe Roy was right," Edward thought out loud. "Maybe I'm just overreacting to all of this…No! He started it and even though I probably begged, he's the one who finished it!" The most random excuses for what happened 2 nights before came spilling out of his mouth nonstop. This continued while he made dinner; spaghetti, to be exact.

Roy walked in the front door and hung up his coat. He frowned when he heard incoherent babbling coming from the kitchen, walking in and seeing Edward mumbling to himself as the blonde moved a bowl and a wine glass to the table. "Edward."

The boy jumped as Roy said his name, spinning around to face him. "Make some noise, won't ya?" he mumbled, using one hand to pour blood-red wine into the glass on the table. Edward corked the bottle again and turned for the kitchen when Roy grabbed his arm. "What?" he asked, glaring a little at the older male.

The look Edward gave him was a little too much for Roy and he took the wine bottle out of his hands, setting it behind him on the table. "R-Roy," the blonde stuttered as Roy moved his hand from his wrist to his shoulder, "wh-what are you doing?"

Edward, Roy thought, you have no idea what you do to me. He pressed his lips to Edward's. Unlike his first kiss, this one was pure love and affection. When the need for air became too great, he pulled back and pulled his arm away from the blonde.

Edward looked up at him with slight wide eyes, biting down on his lower lip in nervousness. "Roy?" he asked softly, his gold eyes shimmering in the light. "Do…do you love me?"

Roy desperately wanted to say yes but his mouth didn't want to work, his words getting caught in his throat.

Edward bowed his head, his bangs covering his face. "It's okay," he said, the words almost inaudible. "Forget I asked. I'll be in my room." Before Roy could grab him again, the blonde walked past him and up the stairs. His bedroom door slammed shut and Roy fell back in a chair.

He probably thinks I'm just using him now, he thought, looking up in the direction of Edward's room. He has no idea.

Edward leaned against the back of his door, taking in one deep breath after another. A single tear slid down his cheek and dropped to the floor, leaving a small dot on the carpet. I shouldn't have asked him, he thought, sliding his hands in his pockets. I should have known he wouldn't have answered. He doesn't love me. He's just using me because he can. I'm such an idiot. Edward slid to the floor, one of his hands reaching for the stereo remote near him. Pressing the play button, 'It's Too Late To Apologize' came on and he closed his eyes, falling asleep to the song filling the room with music.
