Ed spotted a nearby closet at the end of the hallway and dragged Roy in. He clapped his hands together and sealed it shut with alchemy.

The blonde took a breath and sat down in the corner. Roy looked around the room curiously. It was a small, airless closet with buckets and paint supplied on the side of the walls, leaving a little space in the middle.

"Ok…despite all that has happened, I have other bad news..." Ed told him.

Roy blinked and leaned over. "There's something worse for you than going to school as a girl?"

Ed sighed. "No, it's mainly bad news for you…"

"Then wh---" He was cut off by an unknown voice coming from Roy's office.

"YOU TWO BETTER NOT START DOING IT IN THERE! I'D MUCH RECOMMEND A BEDROOM!" Hughes yelled. Everyone in the military could hear him loud and clear.

Ed and Roy looked at each other and immediately turned red.

"DAMN IT HUGHES WE'RE NOT DOING THAT!" they both shouted.

"I swear…someday I'm going to stuff those photos of his up his ass." Ed said clenched his teeth.

"I second that." Roy added.

After while, they both blushed. "Err…So what was that you wanted to tell me?"

Ed thought back. "Oh…right. Winry's coming over."

Roy's heart skipped a beat. "You mean that girl who always hands around you?"

Ed nodded.

"Who's your childhood friend?"

"Yeah…" he replied sheepishly.

Roy blinked. "So how is this bad news?"

Ed played around with his feet. "Err…just don't get mad if she…well you know."

"If she what?"

"Well…you know!"

"No I don't know."

"I SAID YOU KNOW IT! STOP PRESSURING ME!"

Roy chuckled. "Okay…I do, I was just messing with you."

He blushed slightly but crossed his arms. "So Ed, are you saying that I'll get jealous…?"

That's exactly it you moron…Ed thought. "Of course not…I just wanted to inform you that's all…" he lied. He led out a sad breath at the end of his sentence.

Roy must've noticed it and quickly defended. "But…she better not try anything with you or else!"

"Yeah. So…see you." He grinned as he headed for the door.

"Wait, wait!" Roy called and grabbed his wrist.

"What?" Ed said annoyingly.

Roy leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the lips. He smiled smugly and left, leaving Ed stunned.

"I sort of missed doing that." He heard Roy call to him.


"Brother aren't you a little nervous that Winry's going to be living with us?" Al asked on the way to the train station. Ed walked along side his brother with both hands in his pockets.

Ed smiled dreamily and replied, "Uh huh…"

"Oh…then is it okay if I asked her to come shopping with us?" he asked again.

"Uh huh…"

"Oh, that's good, because I was thinking we could use the shopping spree you won to buy some girl clothes for your mission." Al turned his head in thought.

"Uh huh…"

"Oh that's really good, brother! I thought you'd disagree."

"Uh huh…"

"Um…you're acting kind og weird ever since you came home." Al stated worriedly.

"Uh huh…" Ed replied in a daze.

"Are you okay?" Al asked.

"Uh huh…"

Al thought for a moment and smiled deviously. Then came— "Do you like milk?"

"Uh huh…"

"Are you kind of girly?"

"Uh huh…"

"Do you swear that you will let Alphonse keep as many kittens as he wants?"

"Uh huh…"

Al snickered under his nose and prepared for the big finish. "Are you short?"

"Uh—HEY!" Ed shouted, finally coming back to reality.

"Shoot, so close…" Al muttered under his breath.

Ed glared at his brother. "I WILL NOT CALL MYSELF SHORT BECAUSE I'M NOT SHORT!" he scoffed.

I should've recorded the rest…Al thought. But his thoughts were interrupted by the loud noise of train tracks.

"Hey, we're here!" Ed announced.

"C'mon lets go find Winry!" Al cried excitedly and started looking through the crowd of people coming out of the train.

Ed yawned and walked over to the corner and sat down. He was half asleep when he heard Winry's high-pitched voice. "Hey, Ed! Nice to see you!" she waved and carried her luggage over.

Ed rubbed his eyes tiredly and replied with a dull: "Hey Winry..."

Winry frowned but tried to be optimistic. "I got a surprise for you!!"

Al jumped up and down. "Is it a kitty?"

"Wel---" Winry began.

"TELL ME IT'S A KITTY!"

Winry sighed and took out a small box from her luggage. She opened it and out came a…puppy?

"Woof!" it barked, wagging its tail.

Ed and Al's eyes widened in surprise.

Ed's first reaction was, "Aw…it's really small and cute!" he played with it using his finger. The brown and white puppy was overjoyed and rolled over, letting the finger smooth his fur. Then it jumped out of the box and jumped onto Ed's chest, licking his face.

"Stop! C'mon! That tickles!" Ed cried, trying to stop himself from laughing.

Al and Winry stared at them. And stared. And stared.

And stared.

Finally, Al exploded, "HE WON'T LET ME KEEP ONE STINKIN' CAT BUT HE'S OBSESSED WITH DOGS?!"

Winry continued staring with disbelief. Ed became uncomfortable and stood up, dusting himself with his hands. He coughed nervously and put it back into the cardboard box. "Sorry you guys had to see that…but I always loved dogs and well…" he smiled innocently, and waited.

Winry's jaw fell to the ground. "But since when?"

"Er…since Ro—Mustang likes dogs…and you see this one time, he asked me to um...take care of a puppy he found on the sidewalk…and so that's how it kind happened…I guess." Ed said nervously.

"YOU HID A DOG IN THE HOUSE AND I DIDN'T KNOW?!" Al shouted in shock.

Ed shrugged. "W-Well…it was raining..and—"

"WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE TIMES WHEN I SAID THAT IT WAS RAINING AND YOU SAID THAT I COULDN'T KEEP A CAT?"

"'Cause…I don't like cats?" Ed tried sheepishly.

"Oh no you didn't…" Al said darkly.

Winry and Ed gulped.

"You DARE insult a kitten and face my wrath!" Al started to chase Ed in a circle.

Ed ran through the crowd and jumped on a few people's heads. "I'm sorry! I'll let you keep a million kittens!" Ed yelled as he ran for his life.

"YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!" Al screamed through the crowd.

Ed kept running…and running…and running…and running…and running…until he collapsed out of breath.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 minutes later…

Al smiled as he carried Ed on his back. "So, you signed the contract?"

Ed muttered a tiny, defeated 'yes'.

"Okay, repeat after me. Cats rule and dogs drool!" Al commanded.

"'Cats rule and dogs drool'…." Ed repeated dully.

"You know, forcing someone against their will is a lot more fun than I thought!" Al said to Winry.

She nodded slowly and continued walking ahead.


They arrived and Ed was exhausted. He headed straight into his dorm and fell onto his bed. Before his head hit the pillow, he was already asleep.

Winry sat beside him and watched him. He's really hot…even though he's a little short...she thought maybe I should…she began to lean over to him, but stopped dead when she heard him mumble something in his sleep.

"Roy…" he smiled and hugged his pillow.

What the…Roy? She thought suspiciously What's going on over here?

She got up and unpacked her suitcase. I'll just wait a while…


"Sir, I'm here to inform you that Ed's friend from Resemble has arrived." Riza said.

"Dammit…so soon.." he muttered under his breath.

Riza raised her eyebrow. "Sir?"

Roy looked up quickly. "Oh, nothing...where is she right now?"

"In his room…why?" she said.

Oh man…who knows what she'll do to him in there…he thought. "Could you send fullmetal into my office for second? I need to talk to him."

Riza tried to hide a small smile. "Alright sir, but only if he helps you finish that pile over there." She pointed to the mile high paperwork on the floor.

Roy nodded happily.

A few minutes later, Ed arrived in front of the office. Winry followed him just the make sure about her suspicions.

Winry peeked slowly at the corner of the hallway and walked slowly, yet casually as she could. She said hi to some people passing by.

Ed walked into the office and greeted Roy sleepily.

"Lt. Hawkeye wanted you to help me with some paperwork." Roy explained. Ed yawned. "Could you wait a while please…I'm kind of tired from running away form Al…"

"Why were you running from him? Did you two have a fight?" he asked curiously.

"Not really…he was just a little upset that I didn't let him bring any cats home but I brought that puppy that you gave me…remember?" he said softly.

"Oh that…" he replied.

Ed sat up but leaned against the sidebars of the couch. He tried different positions, but in the end it always felt uncomfortable.

"Need some help?" Roy offered.

"Yes, please!" he said desperately.

Roy walked over and sat on the other end of the couch. He motioned for Ed to rest his on his lap.

A small blush appeared on Ed's face. "Ok…"

Ed's soft hair spread across both of Roy's legs. He closed his eyes tried to familiarize Roy's scent.

"Do you always have to smell like coffee?" he complained.

"Do you always have to smell like chocolate?" Roy shot back.

"Touché."

When have they become so…friendly? Winry thought as she leaned her ear closer to the door.

Ed's ears perked up when he heard a ruffling noise coming from the door. "Who's there?" he called and waited.

Winry's heart was beating a million miles per hour as she took baby steps away from the door. The door opened slightly, and a tiny puppy crawled inside.

Ed's face lightened up. "Hey, it's that puppy that Winry brought!"

He got up and placed it on his lap. The puppy was hyper and couldn't stop moving around.

"So did you name him yet?" Roy asked as he reached over to pet the puppy.

Ed shook his head, but began thinking. "How about…Coffee?"

Roy hesitated. "Why Coffee?"

Ed smirked. "Because he reminds me of you."

Ed stood up and walked back and forth, imitating Roy. "Dogs get distracted…like you and your paperwork…they are a leader…like you…and you are the 'dog' of the military!" He laughed at his own joke.

Ed fell back down onto the couch and added, "But he's not as warm like you…" He rested his head on one of Roy's shoulders and sighed.

Roy's face turned into the color of a tomato, but he relaxed seeing the puppy jump onto his lap.

He examined it carefully and then nudged Ed. "Actually, I think it looks more like you."

Ed tilted his head sideways, eyeing the dog. "Really? I don't see it."

"Well, for one thing, he's as cute and small like you..."

"Well---HEY WAIT A MINUTE! I'M NOT SMALL LIKE A LITTLE TINY PUPPY!" Ed pouted.

"Ok…fine, you look more like a…cat." Roy admitted. "It's also as small, lazy, determined, smart, and most cats even have your eye color. Try countering that!"

"Oh yeah?" Ed screamed, trying to think of a comeback.

"O-Oh YEAH?!"

"You can't think of anything, huh?" Roy suggested.

Ed sighed and gave in. "Ugh…fine. But I still think Coffee is a good name!"

While they were having…err, a friendly argument, Coffee was beginning to take interest on the huge pile of paperwork on the floor. He positioned himself, eyes aimed at it, and charged. He crashed into it and the whole pile fell. What seemed like millions of paper flew into the air.

This caught Roy's attention. "Hey, he messed up my paper work!" he ran over and started to pick up each individual piece of paper.

"Damn…I'll never get this done..." Roy said as he piled up some more.

Ed thought for a moment. "Hey, didn't you say that you needed my help doing your paperwork for you?"

"Yes…?" Roy replied uncertainly.

Ed cracked his knuckles and walked over. "Consider this a favor." He said as he clapped his hands together and placed that on the floor. In just a second, all the pieces of paper on the ground were transmuted back onto Roy's desk, in a neat pile.

Roy was amazed. He sat into his chair and took out his pen, ready to abuse his wrist until it was broken.

"You don't need to take out a pen." Ed added.

Roy was confused, but when he looked at the piece of paper o n his desk, it was already signed!

"What the—" He checked every other piece and surprisingly, they were all signed by his signature!

"Fullmetal, what did you do?"

Ed whistled innocently. "Nooooothing…well I guess since you've finished all your paperwork, you can come with me and Winry to the mall this evening..."

Roy agreed and sent the teenager out. "Um, hey Ed!"

Golden eyes looked upon him. "Yeah?"

Roy tried to avoid eye contact. "Erm...thanks for.…you know."

"Thanks for what?" Ed replied sarcastically.

"Well…you know."

Ed crossed his arms. "No, I don't know!"

"I SAID YOU KNOW IT! STOP PRESSURING ME!" Roy yelled.

Ed cracked up. "Ha…just like old times…" and left the room. He was so busy laughing, that he didn't notice Winry hiding behind the door.

I have got to stop this…she thought angrily and followed Ed back to him dorm.
