Ed stopped working and looked up at the Colonel with sad eyes.

"You're really not mad?"

Roy smiled and shook his head.

"Nope."

Ed smiled shyly and said,

"I'm glad…"

He then began to wrap up the wound and Roy winced.

"I'm sorry…"

Ed apologized and continued to work, but carefully.

Roy sighed.

"How can you do that?"

"Do what?" Ed asked without looking up.

Roy yawned and whispered,

"Change your personality so quick…"

Ed continued to work and licked his lips.

"I don't know…"

Roy scratched his head and smiled nervously.

"It's kind of scary. One minute, you're a little punk, the next, you're the scariest thing on

earth, and then you're a cute and shy little teeny mouse."

Ed growled and clenched his teeth.

"Do you enjoy pissing me off or something?"

Roy laughed.

"You're just such a time bomb… so unpredictable…"

Ed chewed on his bottom lip and stuttered,

"I don't know, I've just…"

He paused as he finished with the primitive "bandage" under Roy's knee.

"Just, what?" Roy asked. He eyed over Edward's stiffening form.

Ed tucked a stray hair behind his ear and said with an insincere smile,

"I've just always been like this…"

He sighed and tightened Roy's jacket around him.

Roy laughed and exclaimed,

"Oh glory, you even have yourself confused!"

Ed growled.

"Shut up…"

Roy scooted forward a bit and winced as he did,

"Stop doing that!" Ed yelled.

Roy winced then laughed some more.

"We have to get back, don't we?"

Ed quickly threw the jacket off and pinned Roy to the ground.

"Keep your old ancient ass right where it is and if you move another inch, I'll hit you!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLDER THAN DIRT WHICH WOULD MAKE ME

OLDER THAN WORMS BECAUSE DIRT IS WORM POOP BASICALLY AND

WORMS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS AND DIRT HAS TOO

SO WHAT Exactly are you saying I'm older than?"

Roy scratched his head.

"I think I just confused myself…"

Ed raised an eyebrow.

"I think you just confused me as well…"

Roy then gave Ed a feral smile and placed his hand on his shoulder.

He traced a line on the bare skin going down his arm. Ed shivered and in two seconds was 5 feet away.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Ed yelled.

Roy laughed and his eyes sparkled as he declared in a fake "gay" voice,

"I'm such a pedophile!"

Ed growled.

"Would you quit saying that?"

Roy laughed and his eyes sparkled as he exclaimed in a girly voice,

"I'm a Pedo-Perv!"

There was now a bruise on both cheeks on the Colonel's "perfect" face. Ed was sitting against another tree with his arms folded.

"You're such a jerk."

Roy laughed and came to a conclusion.

"Yes, I'm a jerk. But…since, all the injuries I have suffered tonight have been because of you… I think you owe me…"

Ed growled.

"I don't owe you jack-diddily squat!"

Roy laughed and pulled up his pant leg.

"I beg to differ…"

Ed hung his head and turned from the Colonel.

"Dammit…" Roy thought.

"Either I piss him off, or make him sad…"

Roy laughed.

"There's no winning with you, Full Meta-"

Suddenly, he felt something latch onto his chest.

Looking down, he gasped as he eyed the golden sun-lit hair and perfect flawless skin

clinging to his own body. Little arms wrapped around his chest and he smiled at the

thought of what he could do to take advantage of this…glorious turn of events.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, and placed a firm hand on the boy's frozen shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Roy asked, with a careful tone.

Ed flinched and gripped onto him tighter.

Roy smiled knowingly and patted the boy's trembling back.

"I'm sorry…" Ed sadly whispered.

Roy grabbed the discarded jacket and wrapped it around Ed's shivering form.

"It's okay, really…"

Ed shook and whispered,

"Not just because of that…"

Roy looked down at the blonde with a mixture of surprise and hurt.

Ed shook some more and said,

"This entire thing is my fault…"

Roy shook his head and rubbed Ed's covered shoulder.

"No… it's really not…"

Ed looked up at the concerned Colonel and yelled,

"How exactly is it not my fault?"

Roy smiled sadly and responded,

"You have no control over what goes on in this big world, neither do I."

Ed growled and frowned.

"It's not fair…"

Roy laughed.

"Nothings fair in this world, my young friend…"

Ed then returned his head to Roy's chest and sighed,

"Before…I wish you would have told me all of that sooner…"

Roy laughed.

"Why? So you could run away at Central?"

Ed brought his head up once more, glared at the Colonel and yelled,

"No! Because it would have helped me to understand what the hell was going on!"

He took a breath and continued,

"And you should know that unless you go on a killing rampage of innocent women and children out of cold blood and savage spite, I will not hate you!"

Roy's eyes went large as Ed continued.

"I understand that you being my Colonel and all, and you thinking I'm a child,

even though I want to kill you for it, would have you feel the need to "quote, un-quote"

"protect" me, but that does not mean that you should not inform me of current happenings

and why I was forced here on this godforsaken mountain having to fake being married to

you!"

He took a breath and felt triumphant at the Colonel's current expression.

A mixture of surprise and hurt. Just what he wanted. He was finally going to get through

that thick head of his.

"On another note, I am a state Alchemist, the youngest ever, nonetheless,

I am still a person and I deserve to be treated like one. Not telling me about people who

want to kill me, is not fair at all. I deserve the same rights as any other man does.

I deserve to know why…"

Ed backed up a bit, so he was right in the Colonel's face and continued,

"Not telling me these things just because you think I'm too young to "quote, un-quote,

"understand" or because you think I'll be too scared, is just plain dumb.

You should not keep things from me, oh mighty Colonel.

Just because you're a high-ranking officer will not keep me from shoving a knife right

down your perverted, womanizing throat! Do you hear me?

I deserve to know things like this and I expect you to tell me ahead-of-time so we can

prevent anything like this from ever happening again. Do you hear me?

I want to know these things. I want you to stop treating me like a damn kid!

If I was able to become a state Alchemist, I can sure as hell kick your ass, and that means I

deserve your respect! You should respect those who can put your old ancient butt down…"

Suddenly, he felt soft and powerful lips go over his. And he was overtaken by surprise and

longing.

The next few moments were all blurred out until only one feeling was left…

"Love?"
