Anyway, this is the start of a new story in New Life. This one revolves around Roy and Ed while the next one will revolve around Elena.

Enjoy.

Roy laid on the bed, on hand behind his head, his other holding the remote to his chest. He wore a light blue undershirt and the rainbow boxer shorts Ed had bought him for Valentine's Day. He let out a yawn and changed the channel. He had gotten home from work not too long ago and he was waiting on Ed who was taking forever to get into bed.

Ed was in the bathroom. He had finished his shower and had a light pink bath towel wrapped around his chest while brushing out his golden hair. He hummed softly, smiling at his reflection.

Since Roy had been brought back and their house was fully restored, Ed had taken up a much more famine role in the house, officially leaving all the masculinity to Roy. At first it was okay, he only did small things like spend an extra few minutes in the bathroom or worry about his appearance a bit more. Then Alphonse started to get in on the act and soon enough, the two could be seen gabbing like two suburban house wives. Once, Al and d had gone up to their husbands and demand that they take them dress shopping. To say the least, Roy and Wren were not having any of that. Another time, the two brothers tried to leave the house in short skirts. But gradually, Roy and Wren got used to their husband's new and odd quirks, it benefited them a great deal so there really wasn't much complaining from them…the kids are another story.

"Roy, can we go out tomorrow?" Ed poked his head out the bathroom door to look at his husband. "I'm tired of staying in every Saturday night."

Roy's hand was now in his boxers, moving. "Maybe…why do you always want to go out and spend money? We can have a dinner here."

"But I like going out! Wren takes Al out and Jean takes Riza out, why can't you take me out?" he put his brush down and stood in the door way.

"You know I don't like spending money unless it's a special occasion or something." he changed the channel.

"Well I don't care! I want to go out tomorrow!" he stamped his foot. "If you don't I'll go out by myself and do whatever I want!"

Roy rolled his neck. "Alright fine, we'll go out tomorrow, no need to be a bitch about it." he took his hand out his underwear and waved him off.

"Asshole!" Ed slammed the door and sat on the toilet, bushing his hair angrily.

Another thing that had changed between the two was that they were fighting more and more…well it was more like Ed was yelling and Roy either just sat or stood there. Last week Ed was yelling at Roy because he was 5 minutes late on picking Elena up from fencing practice.
Roy was also caring less and less about certain things. Things like if Allen and Kyle need a bath or if Ed needed help with doing chores. It was as if he stopped caring about everything but him and his family and it was putting a serious strain on his and Ed's marriage.

It was late at night at Central HQ. The only lights on were from the fifth floor, were Roy Mustang was working. He had been working late at night for the past three months, doing anything to get away from Ed and his yelling. He didn't know why he was always yelling at him, it's not like he did anything wrong anyways. But he supposed it didn't really matter, as long as they loved each other in the end.

BRIIIING

Roy looked at his desk phone, watching it ring. 'It's probably Ed wondering what's taking me so long…' he picked up the phone. "Major General Mustang's office, Mustang speaking."

"Where the hell are you Roy!? Elena wanted to talk to you about her day and you're nowhere in sight! Get home now!"

"Well it's nice to hear from you too dear. How are the kids?" Roy replied in a half sarcastic tone.

"Screw you! Just get your ass back home!" he slammed the phone down, ending the conversation.

Three weeks past and Roy and Ed's relationship just got worse.
Roy would come home late at night more often and when he did come home on time, he'd ignore everyone and go straight to his study, distancing him from everyone else. Some nights, Roy wouldn't even come home at all and stay in his office or at his mother's house. Whenever that happened, Ed was sure to drag him back home. Everyone was sure that a divorce was not too far away.

"Roy Saturday is Elena's drill meet."

"Yeah, so?"

"She wants you to be there and watch her!" Ed hissed as he sat next to his bull headed husband.

They were at the dinner table sharing a late dinner. No matter what, Ed had always tried to eat dinner with his husband, even if he did piss him off to a great extent.

"It's in the morning so don't stay at work late tomorrow." he was stabbed at his peas angrily. "You better be there tomorrow or you'll regret it."

"Oh my god! Calm the hell down! I'll be there!" he got up and went to the cabinet and pulled out a bottle of brown alcohol.

"Oh sure, a drink will reassure me that you'll be there SOBER!"

"Shut up Ed."

"Don't tell me to shut up you bastard!"

In a fit of rage, Ed picked up the glass of water he had been drinking and threw it at Roy. The glass shattered on his upper back, leaving small shards of glass in his shirt with water and glass dripping to the floor. Ed had really messed up.

Ed was terrified of what Roy would do now. He grabbed onto the table and held his ground. Whatever he would do, Ed would be ready for it.

Roy put his glass and bottle down then slowly turned around to face his husband. He was really fighting back the urge to bite off his husband's neck. "…why did you just throw that glass at me?" his voice was calm and low.

"I-I was upset…you shouldn't have made me so mad!" he gripped the table harder, his knuckles going white. "It's not like you're hurt anyways!"

"That's not the point Ed."

"Then what is? You can't take a small glass cup being thrown at you?"

"…I should hurt you back." he walked towards him.

Ed closed his eyes, and turned his head to the side; he knew that he would get what was coming to him and he would be ready.

Expecting a slapped, he felt something warm and soft on his cheek. "H-Huh?" he opened his eyes and saw that Roy's cheek was on his. "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry for working late…I have to leave tonight."

"What!"

"Hakuro is taking me and several others out to the Waste Lands; unknown territory. That's why I've been working later and later…to get you all used to me not being here for three months…" he wrapped his arms around his waist. "I'm so sorry Ed."

"No no! You don't have to go okay?" he ran his hands through his hair. "You can stay here with us! They'll let you stay because I'm pregnant and you have to take care of me!"

"I'm sorry Ed…" he let go of him and pulled away, forcing Ed to let go of him. "I have to go." he went to the closet by the door and grabbed a suit case.

Ed rushed and stood with him. "Please Roy…" he grabbed his hand with the case in it. "Just stay for one more night." he gave him a pleading look.

"I can't." he set the case down anyways and hugged him.

"Daddy…Dad, what's going on?" Elena said, holding her two little brothers hands.

Ed grabbed onto Roy's shirt, realizing that this was so much like the day his own father left him. "I-It's nothing…"

Roy pulled away and picked up his bag. "I'm going now." he opened the door, bright morning sun flooding into the narrow hallway.

"Be safe Roy…I don't want to lose you again." he reached up and kissed Roy's cheek. "We'll miss you."

And with that, Roy left, leaving Elena and her brother with feelings of despair and abandonment.

"Shut your lying pig mouth!" Elena roared at one of her fellow students. "He didn't leave us! Your Uncle made him leave! He's the real bastard!"

"No he isn't you whore!" the accuser shouted back.

Elena clenched her fists. It had been a little over 7 months since Roy had left them to explore the Waste Lands. They rarely ever got a letter from him and when they did it never sad why he was taking so long to get back home. After the first three months, people started to think that Roy really had abandoned his family; the children in Elena's squad thought so and today she was not in the mood to hear from Hakuro's nephew on what he thought her father had done.

"Leave me alone!"

"Like how your daddy left you alone?"

That was the last straw.

While he and his friends laughed, Elena let out a cry and tackled the boy to the ground. "He didn't leave us you freak of nature!" she started punching him in his face, landing blows on his nose and eyes. "Take it back! Take it back!"

"Elric-Mustang!" her drill sergeant roared as he tried to pry her off the defenseless boy. "What's gotten in to you?"

"He won't stop talking about my Dad! He didn't leave us, his Uncle won't send him back!" she was crying now, her hair was everywhere and her eyes were red. "I would never leave us!"

He sighed. "Go get yourself cleaned up then go run some laps to cool off."

"What about him!? He's the one who started it!"

"Don't worry about him; I'll take care of him. You just go run those laps."

"But-"

"No buts! Get to it!"

"Yes sir." she hissed and ran to the bathrooms.

It was late evening by the time Elena had finally finished running her laps. "Stupid school, stupid Arthur, stupid sergeant…" she sat on a bench, pulling her legs up to her chest. "Stupid me…" she put her arms on her legs and laid her head down.

"Elena?" a voice called out.

Looking up, she saw William. He had on his PT uniform, his hair was matted down to his head from sweat, and he had a look of real concern on his face. "What's wrong? Why were you calling yourself stupid?"

"Why do you care...why are you out here anyways? It's past the time all privets go home."

"I know…I got in trouble after you had to run laps." he let out a laugh.

"You, in trouble?" she wiped her eyes. "What did you do?"

"Arthur was cleaning the toilets and he kept talking about your dad so I threw bars of wet soap at him." he pretended to be throwing soap bars. "It was really funny how he kept slipping."

Elena giggled. "I guess you want me to thank you then."

"It would be nice but no. Friends look out for friends no matter what right?" he grinned.

"W-We're friends?" she gave him a puzzled look.

"Mhm." he nodded.

"Oh…do you want to come over for dinner then? Daddy always makes too much and I think he'll be happy to have someone fill up the seat." she smiled a little.

"Really?" he gave a hopeful look. "Thanks! Mom and dad are going out tonight so this will be super good!" he hugged himself. "Let's go!"

Elena got up and smiled. "Yeah." she looked up at the sky. 'You'll be so proud of me when you come home.'

Back at the Waste Lands, Roy was in his tent along two other men. He was dark now and everything was quiet. He had written a letter to Ed weeks ago but he wasn't sure if it ever got sent. Sighing, he turned on his side, looking at the picture of his family. He hated it here and he seriously wanted to get back home.

He wanted to talk to Ed so badly, he also wanted to eat Hakuro but one of those took more priority. Getting out of bed he left the tent to the phone booths. He picked up the phone and dialed the house number. It rang four times before someone picked it up. "Hello?" Roy recognized the voice. It was his youngest child, Kyle.

"Hey sport, it's me, Dad."

Kyle gasped. "Really!?"

"Ha-ha, yeah, it is."

"Cool! Oh guess what? I lost my second tooth!"

"I'll be sure to have the tooth fairy bring you two dollars when I come back."

"Oh cool! Allen's going to be jealous!"

"Yeah…hey, where's Daddy?"

"Oh he's sleeping, want me to wake him up?"

"No no, he probably needs to rest anyways. Tell him I'll be calling him back tomorrow okay?"

"I will I will!" he sounded excited. "I love you Dad!"

"I love you too sport. Good night."

"Night Dad!" he made a kissing noise then hung up.

Roy put the phone up too and smiled. He really did love his family.
