A Dinner A Shot
The next day both men woke up in a feeling like today was the perfect day. They both had a partner whom they cared deeply and lovingly about. Roy decided to skip breakfast, too lazy to make some and brushed his teeth while raiding through his closet for something to wear. He had picked out nice worn out jeans, and a white three-button shirt, and just before he left the house, he swiped a pair of black sunglasses. Today was his relaxation day- all the gifts were bought and all the day was free. Well, most of it- he did have a date that night. Roy was strolling through a neighborhood when he noticed where his feet were caring him-Hughes' residence. Roy had known the time would come for this, but it still sent shudders down his spine- the mere thought of talking to Maes after the little Mexican restaurant incident. Roy was done mentally preparing when he rang the doorbell.
"Hello! Who is it?" Came Maes's voice from inside, but he opened the door before getting a reaction, "Roy, come in!" Roy was then pulled into his best friend's house.
"Hi Maes, so? Is Gracia home?" Roy hoped that if she was, the trouble would lessen.
"Nope! She took dear Gracia out shopping." Maes got the familiar glint on his glasses and he sat Roy down putting his serious face on. "So, Roy, what's going on with Edward?"
"Edward?"
"Don't play stupid, I saw the little kiss the two of you shared."
"Sigh, I'm not even going to try and hide anything from you. Yes we both really like each other. Just like you said." Maes looked like he was going to burst of happiness and self pride, "I hear even a hint of 'I told you so' I will burn you and make sure no one ever finds a single ash from your body." Maes seemed to deflate from that comment.
"So? How have the two of you been getting along? Don't lie to me Roy Arlen Mustang (Not his real middle name)"
"Okay, we really haven't done anything. Just a little bowling, movies, yea, that's just about it."
"What have you two done together?" Maes's voice sounded very dangerous.
"Nothing, we've just um…kissed a little." Roy couldn't stop the massive blush that was taking over his entire face. This seemed to make Maes very happy
"OMG! It's true love! Look at you blush! You've always told me juicy details! I'm so glad for you!" But all too quickly the mood changed into dangerous again, "If you hurt him, if you push him into anything. I. Will. Kill. You."
"Gulp. Yes."
"good! Now, you must go!"
"Where?"
"I don't know!" Maes gave Roy a face like he thought he was crazy, "Don't you have to do something? I need to! I need to prepare! It's our anniversary next week! I must prepare!" Roy was then quickly pushed out of the house to enjoy the beautifully sunny day- to ponder about the sanity of a certain friend of his.
Edward had a very different morning. He felt like everything was perfect but he couldn't help but freak out about two things. One- he still didn't have a present for Roy! What was he going to do. This was all he thought of through breakfast that consisted of cold cereal. But then whe he got dressed he realized something more pressing- Roy was coming to his house today! The morning and early afternoon where spent running around the house cleaning as much as possible, but still trying to make it look like he didn't try too hard. Then when 3 rolled around Edward went shopping for the perfect gift for his blush perfect double blush boyfriend. And shopping for food for tonight's dinner.
Ed made it just in time at his house, still present less, but with a lot of food at hand. He started with dinner. Ed had always prided being able to cook, and he had read in many cookbooks. He truly believed in the saying 'alchemy started in the kitchen' and meant to perfect this alchemy- without actually using alchemy.
Then it was 6, and right on time Roy rang the doorbell.
"Coming!" Ed through off the apron and ran to the door to great Roy. "Hi! Come on in, this is my humble little house. Nothing big compared to yours. Wait…how'd you know where I live?" Ed asked suspiciously.
"I'm your superior Ed, you gave me your address long ago, and don't you remember that time we dropped off your paperwork off?"
"Oh, yea, sorry. Come in." Ed led the way to the kitchen, "Today we'll count as a dinner you owe me anywaya just cuz," Ed wouldn't let go of those ten dinner for his life.
"Something smells really good, I'm already hungry." Roy licked his lips anticipating.
"Hold your horses there," Ed said and kissed him lightly letting him know this meant the world to him, "You can look around while I make sure everything's done."
Ed was in the kitchen putting food on plates and humming softly to himself thinking how wonderful this was.
"Tulips!" He suddenly heard Roy from the other room just as he finished.
"What?" He asked pocking his head out with two plates in his hands.
"Those are my favorite," Roy said pointing at a picture, "It asks which one's your favorite, and tulips are mine." Ed loved that picture of all those flowers all together to make it seem like a dream.
"Really? Mine is Iris." Ed set the food down as Roy looked Iris up on the picture.
"I've always thought blue tulips would be cool."
"Blue?"
"Yea, because think about it, all the other colors already have flowers in that color, I don't know any flowers in blue."
"Well, come eat! It's ready now."
That's when Roy noticed the food. There was marinated chicken, a beautiful salad, and mashed potatoes.
"Wow…you made this?" Roy was nothing short of astonished
"Yea, well, I think its important so I've read into it, and yea, this is the finished product. Well, dig in."
"Wow Ed! Dis is relay goob" Roy said with a mouth full of everything.
Ed couldn't help but giggle at how Roy was acting towards the food.
"No, really! I seriously can't cook a thing, I should learn more! If you repeat tat to anyone else, I will hurt you Edo." Roy said alarmed.
"I wouldn't even dream of it." Ed said happily, "Oh, I forgot the candles." He had set up a little chandelier in the middle of the table. "I'll go get matches."
"No need, I'll do it, I've go my gloves in my pockets." Roy took out one glove and put it on. Then with great grace he snapped his fingers and lit the candles. Then he quickly put his gloves back to find an admiring Ed.
"You have no clue how awesome that is." Ed stated not taking his eyes off Roy.
"What?" Roy said very confused.
"You just look so , well- sexy- when you do that! You get that fire in your eyes and that certain look of I'm-going-to-win, it's just great!" That's when Ed moved his leg to rub against Roy's. Roy pretended not to notice, but rubbed back letting the chibi know he loved it.
"I'm glad you think so, I'll remember to give you little shows all the time." Roy said smirking. "Now, how did you come upon that interesting photo of the Xing market place?"
"Well, that was about 4…."
The night dragged on as the two ate their home cooked dinner playing footsie, and talking through the night. They hadn't notice that time had slipped away and it was already midnight.
"Well, Edward, I had a wonderful time, thank you so much for the great dinner." Roy bent down slightly and kissed Edward full on the lips battling with the angel's tongue and sweeping all through the warm tavern of Edward. Edward couldn't help but moan into Roy's mouth- he just love the feeling of the two of them together and the taste Roy's tongue brought to his mouth. Finally Roy pulled back and smiled and the starry eyed Ed.
"Good Night Ed, I'll pick you up from here tomorrow at 6."
"Than you bastard, I had a fun."
Then Roy was on his way humming a cheerful tune.
Roy went to sleep the moment his head made contact with his pillow and was snoring a minute later. While Ed on the other hand was planning out his gift for Roy, falling asleep beside an alchemy book.
