This is so Greed's fault. xD We were just doing a random Roy and Ed thing when it came up. Okay, so I asked Roy's questions but still.

Kari belongs to Rose. Octy is from powerpuff girls (please don't ask, blame Rose and Greed for that one).

Pairings: RoyEd, some HyuRoi.

The two of them sat in the office alone, Ed just waking from a nap.

"Who is Octy from, anyway?"

Ed lifted the purple octopus in front of him, staring at it curiously, making sure the hat did not move, though it was connected to the plushies head by thread. "My mother. I found him in my suitcase."

Roy nodded, watching Ed uncharacteristically horde the doll. "She must have been a good woman."

Ed nodded, a sad glint in his eye.

"And Potato? Who gave him to you?"

"Mom. But I was a lot younger."

Roy nodded again, not finding anything to say. He didn't know. Perhaps Ed thought it was cute, and just needed to see. Roy walked over to his desk, doodling on his paperwork once more.

"What's this doing here?" He asked after a moment, the blonde lifting a tattered bunny.

Roy hid a blush, focusing on his drawing. "I thought you might want it...so I left him there."

Ed raised a brow, watching the proud Colonel before hugging him.

Roy looked up, hid a grin and turned back to the work at hand. "Don't grow attached, I want him back."

"Right." Ed agreed. He hugged Mr. Bunny again, staring down at the floppy ears. "Who gave this to you?"

Roy looked up a small, sad, but fond smile in place. "My sister...took Hughes shopping, with her own allowance for my fifth birthday. She was about fourteen then. Hughes picked it out, she said, but by the time the day arrived, Hughes' mother was sick and in the hospital, so he was at her bedside. He couldn't come, but Kari wanted me to know that it was his idea...So I took it, and clung to it all these years, a gift from the two of them. Unfortunately, Maes' mother died shortly after his birthday, and he wasn't all that well himself. Mr. Bunny seemed to be our saving Grace."

Ed listening, not expecting such a long explanation, but sort of...appreciating it all the same. He knew next to nothing about his lover, just that he was a pompous jerk in the office, and a tender, beautiful god in bed. Two different sides that collided when no one, not even Ed was looking...until that moment. "Come on. I'm hungry."

Roy chuckled, pushing up from his seat and leaving his drawings there. A girl...and two boys, stick figures, all having a hand on the bunny, with a young blonde on the floor in front of them, holding an octopus and a cat. Roy Mustang could get /creative/.
