Hey guys! OHMYGOSH! We are on the 10th chapter! This is super exciting. This story is my baby and it's like it's growing up. I'm posting this on 9/11 so in honor of those who died 10 years ago take a moment to remember the lives lost. Thank you.
FleeltingAmethyst: Roy will be with Ed through everything, but Envy's not done trying!
BurntMarshmellow: Thank you so much! I loved writing the part where Ed threw the fit, it was so much fun! And concerning the title, I'll let you know next chapter. I want to hear your ideas first!
Jantolover: Envy never gives up when he wants something.
~Roy~
Roy couldn't get the door opened fast enough. After everything Envy had said he wanted to see Ed and just be with him.
Roy rushed into the living room and when he saw Ed wasn't there he flew to the bedroom calling out for him.
"Ed?" Roy entered the bedroom with a smack in the face from a pillow that had been thrown at him.
Ed was sitting up in the bed and looked annoyed and like he had just been woken up.
"What's your problem? You don't just enter the house screaming at the top of your lungs!" Ed snapped, "I was sleeping!"
Roy looked him over. Everything seemed okay, no new cuts on Ed's arm and his eyes were clear. Roy ignored what the blonde had said and proceeded to tackle him.
"What the hell?" Ed shrieked as he fell back with Roy on top of him. Roy grabbed his waist and pulled Ed close.
"I was worried," Roy whispered and Ed stilled. "I thought that you might not be home when I got here. That's why I rushed over here and was yelling, I'm sorry I woke you."
"It's fine, why wouldn't I be here?" Ed had a light dust of pink across his cheeks.
Roy looked away, "No reason."
Roy's off tone caused Ed to search his face, he was hiding something.
"Envy. Was he there, at school today?" Ed asked carefully.
"No," Roy was refusing to look at Ed.
"Don't lie to me, Roy." The blonde warned.
"Alright," Roy sighed. "Yes, I saw Envy today and I talked to him."
"And he said things about me that made you nervous."
Roy rolled off Ed so that they were laying side by side on his bed.
"He said that you would leave and that you couldn't quit. You have tried before." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. "Envy knows more about you than I do. I hate that."
Roy turned to his side to face Ed, who rolled to face Roy.
"I want to know everything about you." Roy continued, "and I want to be able to be here for you when you need someone."
Ed was speechless, but it didn't matter because Roy wasn't done talking.
"I am worried that I'm going to lose you before I ever really have you. I hate liking you so much but not knowing as much as that bastard does."
Ed raised a blonde eyebrow.
"You like me? Why?" he asked.
"Of coarse, you have spunk and your confident and pretty hot." Roy grinned, Ed's face flushed.
"What do you want to know?" Ed asked.
"Well, let's start off with the basic things. Like what's your full name? Favorite color?" Roy stared with the questioning.
"Edward Elric. I don't have a favorite color. Next questions." Ed answered.
~Ed~
After about an hour of questions and answers the two had called it quits for now and Roy went to take a shower. Ed was in the kitchen trying to find food to cook. So far he found nothing but left over take-out.
"Agh!" Ed cried out annoyed at the lack of food in the house.
"What's wrong?"
Ed jumped, Roy had just gotten out of the shower and was only wearing a towel tied loosely around his hips. Roy snaked his arms around Ed's waist and pulled him close, nuzzling behind his ear.
"Besides you sneaking up on me, there's no food in here." Ed spoke with a bit of playful annoyance.
"What are you talking about? There's food right there," Roy gestured to the take-out containers.
"That's not real food! You need to eat healthier!" Ed exclaimed. Roy started laughing. He hugged Ed tighter then let him go.
"Fine, there's cereal and milk. We can have that for dinner then after school tomorrow we'll go shopping for 'real' food." Roy chuckled.
"No way, I'm not have milk. It's gross and disgusting." Ed mumbled under his breath but Roy still heard it.
"You don't drink milk?"
"No way in hell." Ed confirmed.
"No wonder your so short! You-" Roy started.
"I AM NOT SHORT! YOUR OVER-SIZED FREAK!" Ed shouted.
Roy continued to laugh and mock Ed's size. Ed was getting angrier with each insult and soon he was chasing Roy all over the house throwing out insults and threats. Roy finally stopped running and collapsed on the couch, laughing and trying to catch his breath at the same time. Ed was hunched over, he couldn't even make it to the couch.
Roy had quickly recovered from the little exercise he got. Ed however was still gulping for air and was shaking slightly on the floor. Roy walked over to him and sat down. He pulled Ed close to him.
"This is way you gotta quit, you can't even do the smallest amount of activity." Roy spoke carefully not wanting to upset Ed when he was in this shape.
"Shut… up…I am…fine." Wheezed Ed. He had stopped shaking a soon as Roy had put his arm around him. Ed leaned in against Roy's strong and still naked chest.
"No, your not, but it's okay for now. I'll look after you and you'll get better, I promise." Roy kissed the top of Ed's hair. Ed hugged Roy and breathed him in after finally calming himself.
~Roy~
"DAMMIT ED! YOU'RE GOING!"
"SHUT UP! I WAS SLEEPING!"
Roy had tried getting Ed up for school and wasn't have much luck. He was quickly learning that his blonde love was not a morning person.
"I told you yesterday that if you stayed home then you would have to go today," Roy said through grit teeth.
"I hate it, I'm dropping out." Ed spat back.
"Stop acting so childish and get ready." Roy reprimanded. He got up and threw some clothes at Ed. "You can wear that. Now you have five minutes or I'm dragging you out with what your wearing."
Ed growled but got dressed. After finally getting him ready, Roy and Ed trudged out to the car.
"I can't believe I have to go!" Ed whined in the passenger seat.
"I can't believe how hard it was to get you out of bed!" Roy claimed grinning. Ed huffed and sulked in his seat as Roy laughed at him.
"Seriously, why don't you want to go?" Roy asked.
"Cause."
"'Cause' is not an answer. Are you worried about seeing Envy?"
"Maybe." Ed mumbled not wanting to admit to being scared of seeing his lover.
"Well don't be, I'll protect you."
There you go! Now I've been thinking of doing a special chapter completely from Ed's point of view when he is high and tripping out. What do you guys think? Let me know. And as always thank you for reading and more reviews equal faster updates.
