On to the story… *drumroll*

"Mr Elric, I love your son. I do, above everything else in this world. And… I've recently proposed to him."

Edward felt the nervousness in him build up for every passing second. He'd not wanted this, but Roy thought it was an essential detail that had to be over and done with. But it hadn't gone too well yet. Upon entering the small café where they had decided time with Ed's father, they'd gotten a strange look. Hohenheim had asked who he was, and when Roy told him he was dating his son, the man's face had turned a colour Ed didn't find interesting in the slightest. And that was before Roy dropped the bomb, informing about the proposal, making the other man go strangely pale instead. Not the best of signs perhaps.

Perhaps it wasn't the best of starts, present a guy to your dad just as you were about to marry him but Ed didn't have much of a chance to differ on that. Their relationship had been ongoing for two years when the dreaded breakup had happened (it was rarely spoken of seeing as it hurt both parts just thinking about those few months), and it was at that time Hohenheim reappeared in his sons lives. It had been a long period of time before Ed trusted the man remotely, too many deep scars and years of trust issues had insured that. When they got together again, the relationship wasn't as steady as before and therefor neither found it suiting to tell just yet, even though practically everyone else knew already. Now, almost another two years later and Ed had finally built up the courage to them telling him, and by that time the duo were newly engaged. It wasn't that the blonde was ashamed of Roy or anything in that matter, it was just that he still found it hard to talk to his father, especially about things this big. He knew it wouldn't matter in the end what the man would think about it, but he still felt slightly nauseated as the man was silent for much longer than would have been wished for, face portraying little to no emotions as it always seemed to do. When he finally did speak though, it wasn't to Roy.

"I don't understand," he stated, sounding as if he wasn't sure if they were joking but strict and serious all the same.

"We're engaged," Ed said affirmatively even though he knew Hohenheim had gotten that part. He felt his chest constrict unwillingly as his father's eyes stared critically at the ravenette present. He took another long moment before answering, his stony voice making Ed just want to cover his ears.

"I don't know what he is after Edward, but it's something. You can't trust him, how do you know he won' just leave you to-" Hohenheim stopped himself as Roy cast a worried look at Ed by the words about him leaving, so the dark blonde narrowed his eyes. "What was that look?" He immediately demanded suspiciously.

"What look?" The other countered way too quickly. "There was no look, none at all. It was a glance of love." Ed put his hand to cover his eyes for a moment. Why couldn't Roy just spit out one of those awesome speeches about peoples' right like he did at work or even one of those silly love declarations he did that made Ed blush like crazy and burry his face in nearest object. This time he felt more for banging his head against the table but restrained from it. The slight annoyance wasn't what he was concerned about though, it was the increasing uneasiness and worry that seemed to grow within him for every word Hohenheim uttered.

"How do I know you wouldn't take what you want and leave him?" The father asked stubbornly and Roy looked away as the familiar shame and pain of previous events washed over him. He knew he would never again leave Ed for both of their sakes, but he had no way to prove it to the sceptical father.

"He wouldn't," Ed stated firmly in his place, sounding so secure that Roy felt his chest grow a little warmer. Braiding his fingers together he fixed his dad with a completely un-wavering look, voice balanced and sure. "I've known him for a long time and he's not out after something, we love each other and you'll have to accept that."

Hohenheim was silent for a second or to, in which Roy couldn't help holding his breath. The man shew no feelings in his façade when he suddenly firmly stated "No." Ed drew back a centimetre in surprise, and Roy couldn't help taking a sharp intake of surprise. "I don't know if you're just trying to rebel or get back at me for something, Edward, but this is not natural and I ask of you to end this before you get used."

"…At what point did you figure this was about you?" Ed asked a little too loudly, meaning to sound angry but it came out hurt. "I love him and he means the world to me. Why can't you just see that?"

"Edward." Hohenheim said sternly and clearly, as if talking to a small child that had misbehaved. "He's fifteen years older. And a man. Military for that matter, what are you even thinking with this?"

"But if you would just listen, it-!"

"No. I won't stand behind this, it obviously isn't acceptable, any sane human could see that," the bearded man concluded at last, shaking his head sternly. "Your mother would never approve of this either, this is all in your best interest and you will be grateful when you're older."

Roy looked worriedly between the blondes, wanting to defend his lover but knew he had no place, this was ultimately a family matter. So instead he took it in with concern as Ed looked down at the hand in his lap before back up at his father again, voice quitter but he managed to keep it in balance. "I can't believe you're using Mom again, as if she's some kind of triumph card you can use anytime you deem fit. And I am older, if you'd ever been there, maybe you would have noticed me growing up. I'm asking you, just this once to support something I believe in, trust me enough to at least give Roy a chance?"

When he was only met with a stony silence the blonde rose from the table calmly, but Roy could read his eyes, filled once again with disappointment and hurt from his father's actions. The fragile trust the two had built up slowly crumbling once more.

"We're not asking for your permission Hohenheim, nor anyone else's… Your opinion doesn't matter. If you don't agree to us… then you simply aren't invited to the wedding."

Hohenheim stared after his son as he walked away, before retracting his eyes to Roy, looking disbelieving again. The ravenette in turn just fixed the other man with a stern glare, wanting to pound on him, especially for dragging Trisha Elric into this. He was furious that the man could do something like that, abandon his son for all his life and then come back trying to pull the strings of his decisions, not giving a second to be convinced or give a try.
So Roy simply stood up from the table as well, quickly following the blonde out the door.

There is a chance for more parts of this
