This story was short but oh so fun to write.
Welcome to the last chapter.
~Enjoy~
Edward POV
I followed Roy's advice and took a full week off. Since I've been working for more than a year for Madame Christmas, she even paid for the week and I spent it with Alphonse. We did a lot of activities, discovered more of the city and went to the amusement park more than once. He even found a house for rent and I think he really wants it for when he will finish school… If we're lucky, he will be finished for Christmas. I just wish he will be able to find a job soon after that. A lot of people get a degree and don't even work in their field of study for years… I texted to Roy too. Many times.
For the last day of my week off, Alphonse started back school so I was left alone at the apartment. I sigh as I'm watching TV and text Roy.
'Are you working today?'
He texts me instantly.
'No, why?'
I don't answer. I just go to my room to get properly dressed and get out to go to Roy's house. I don't want to stay alone…
I walk for a while and arrive at his front door. I knock and he opens it soon after. I blush a little as I see him. He's only wearing his boxers and his white button up shirt is just opened, letting me see his chest and stomach.
"Did you just wake up?" I ask.
"Yeah… You're bored so you came to see me?"
"Yeah."
He smiles a little and he let's me inside. He goes to his bedroom to get better dressed and I can smell food. I get to the kitchen and see that he is making himself breakfast. He comes behind me and starts talking, making me jump because I didn't hear him arrive.
"Are you hungry?"
"Uh… Kind of… I didn't eat breakfast."
"You should, breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
He goes to the stove and makes more food for me.
"I'm not a very good cook… And when I woke up, Alphonse was already at school so I didn't have the heart to make myself something in case it tastes bad."
"Did Alphonse never taught you how to cook?"
"Yes, he did… But… I just love putting too much spices or too many things in food. It's like when I'm drawing. I like putting a lot of details and people think it's too much"
I can see an amused smirk on Roy's lips. He then says.
"If you lived with me, I would make you food all the time."
"You know I don't want that…"
"I know… But you still have to keep your promise of coming to live with me when Alphonse finishes school and find a place for himself."
"I didn't agree to it!"
"Sure…"
He gets done with breakfast and we sit at the table to eat. It's true that every thing he makes taste really delicious… I couldn't get bored of his food but I don't want to take advantage of him! He's just too nice and I feel that he would just do everything I ask. Which, isn't a bad thing but still…
"So, your brother started back school?" He asks.
"Yeah, it's my last day off and I didn't want to be alone."
"I'm happy you thought about me. You should do that more often."
"You work a lot though and I don't want to be a bother."
"You are never a bother. Stop telling yourself that."
"Hm…"
We finish eating, do the dishes together and we go to the living room to watch a movie. We are both sitting apart on the sofa but he then passes an arm around my shoulders and makes me sit closer to him. I don't mind… I even feel more comfortable like this. I just relax against him. His warmth even makes me a bit sleepy but the movie is too interesting to just fall asleep. I can smell his perfume too… Smells so good… I feel my heart beating so loudly in my chest and even wonder if he can hear it. I then concentrate on him and feel his own heart. It sure is beating as strongly as mine. Even a bit more. I wonder why it does that… Is that a symptom of that so called 'love'? I thought it was going to be something else… Something more? But it does feel good…
Wait… Am I falling in love?
I frown a bit but I try to forget it and watch the movie. It sure is hard when Roy is so fucking close but… I do love having him close like that. We spend the day like that. Just being lazy and watching stuff on the TV. Then he asks me in the evening.
"What about going to the restaurant?"
"Sure, I'm starving."
We then go outside to his car and drive around in the city. I have no idea what I want to eat so he chooses for us. We arrive shortly after and get a table for two. I look a bit at the menu and then look at him. Why is he so goddamn handsome?! I swear, even the women look at him from afar. The waitress arrives, we order and she goes after giving a wink at Roy.
"Why are women just flirting openly with you like that?"
"Because I'm good looking."
"I know that…"
"I can't help it; I was born like this."
I pout a little while he smirks at me.
"Aren't you falling for me too?" He asks. "You were blushing when I was holding you earlier… And you're blushing now."
"Stop it!"
He giggles a little and I pout more as I feel my cheeks getting warmer.
"I don't even know what I feel for you. Sure, I feel good when I'm with you but I never was in love so I don't know anything about it."
"You're 21 and you never knew love?"
"No…"
"Hm… Well I kind of forgot what love was before you came in my life."
"How does it feel?"
"It feels as if my heart wants to burst when I'm close to you and I can't stop it. I think about you before I go to sleep and I think you are incredibly handsome."
I raise an eyebrow as I think and feel about the same. So, it means I am in love with him?
"You know…" As he continues. "Love isn't something that you know the second you meet someone. It isn't 'love at first sight' and people seem to exaggerate it just to seem interesting or just to prove to their partners that they really love them. Love is something you develop after some time. After knowing the person more and spending time with them."
"I see…"
He stretches a hand towards me and put one of my locks behind my ear so he can see my face more. I look at him in the eyes as he says.
"If you don't feel love for me then, I want to make you fall in love with me. Even though I have no idea how to treat a man or love a man… But if you work with me and tell me how you want to be treated, I'm sure we can make it work."
"It… It feels weird though no? All my life I thought I was attracted to women."
"I thought so too… I guess I'm gay but only for you."
I can't help it and start laughing and make him smile. I then stop after a while but still smirking I tell him.
"I guess I'm a little gay for you too then."
The waitress comes back and we start eating while talking about other stuff. Since it's getting late, he drives me back home and before I get out of the car, I tell him.
"Thank you for today. I had a great time with you."
"Me too… We should do that more often."
I then look at him. He's looking at me so intensely. I know he wants to do or tell something more but he doesn't do it. So, I lean closer to him and press my lips on his. I know he's surprised because he doesn't respond right away to my kiss. I feel like my heart could overflow at anytime but it feel so incredibly good. I feel his hand on the back of my neck and he starts deepening the kiss. I feel his tongue against mine and I swear, I feel myself just melting. We make out for what feels like an eternity and I finally let go.
"Good night Roy." I say.
"Good night Edward. Text me on your next day off."
I just smile at him and get out of the car. As I'm walking, I just feel as if I'm floating. I still have the lingering smell of his perfume and I swear I can still feel his lips on mine… They were really soft… I come inside the apartment and Alphonse looks at me. He smiles and he tells me.
"Did something good happen? You look really happy."
Should I tell him? He's my brother, I can't just hide it to him.
"I… I think I'm in love… With Roy."
He looks at me, surprised.
"Roy?!" He says. "I thought you were hetero!"
"I… I think I am… But, I don't know… It's different with him. I think I really am in love with him."
He looks at me weirdly but I don't know what else to say.
"You know Nii-san… I'll support you in everything you do. If you love him, then good for you, I wish he will make you happy."
I look at him surprised and I just approach him to take him in my arms.
"You're the best Alphonse!"
Edward POV
Some time passed after that date with Roy. Should I even call it a date? We did go at the restaurant… It didn't really feel like a date but I still like to call it that. We text each other almost everyday too. We tell each other good morning and good night. Is that being in love? I think about him a lot too. I smile when he texts or call me. I get this weird feeling in my stomach. It's a bit unnerving but still pleasing. Is that the butterflies that they call it?
As I'm sitting in the sofa and watching TV, I hear my phone ring in my pocket and I pick it up. I answer and hear Madame Christmas's voice.
"Hello Edward."
"Hi Madame Christmas. You need me to come in earlier?"
"Actually, I have a job for you."
"You know I don't do escort jobs anymore…"
"I know but this is someone special. I'm sure you'll accept it."
"Um… Who?"
I'm quite curious even if I don't want to escort anymore.
"Roy Mustang."
I frown.
"Roy? But he could've just asked me…"
"He wants you to escort him for the night. Tonight."
"He wants me to wear a dress again?"
"No. But, you need to be ready for tonight. Just come to the military base tonight at 6PM and he will come get you."
"So, I don't have to come work at the bar tonight?"
"No. Just take the night off with him and relax."
Does she know the relation that me and Roy have? I guess she does if she says it like that… Did he tell her? She IS his mother after all…
"Fine. I'll do it."
"Good, have a nice night Edward."
"You too Madame."
I hang up, still frowning. Why didn't he invite me himself? I'll have to ask him when I see him…
Edward POV
I arrive at the military base just dressed normally. I still put on some nice leather pants and my bright red coat. I stand on the curb and just wait for him. Not too long after, I see him arrive in his car and I get in. He goes on the road and I look at him. He's dressed casually but he still looks good. That man could look good in anything, I fucking swear…
"Roy… Why did you wanted me to escort you again?"
I see him pout a little and he says.
"Hi, good to see you too."
It's now my turn to pout.
"Answer me!"
"Okay… I wanted to spend some time with you and I know how much you like to work and I have a lot of work too. So, I decided to pay for your night with me so that you don't feel like losing money."
I'm still looking at him. I don't know what to say… He is right though. He then glances at me and smirks.
"So, where are we going?" I ask.
"Do you want to go at the restaurant or be cozy at my house?"
"Your house…"
"Good, because I have a stew in the oven."
"Why did you ask me then!?"
"Because I wanted to know which you would like more. I'm still trying to know you more."
I pout and he still smirks. I feel like I'm being played with! That fucking bastard… We arrive soon at his house and we go inside.
He takes out the stew from the oven and we sit at the table to eat together. We some time glance at each other but don't really say anything. Why is the atmosphere so tense? I never was this tense with him… I'm still happy to spend time with him though... I try to make small conversation and it goes smoothly from there on. We talk about our jobs, talk of when Alphonse will get his diploma. I even tell him that I'm trying to find an apartment for him for when he will find work. He then tells me.
"We are looking for a psychiatrist in the Army, right here in Central too."
"You think you could offer the job to Alphonse?"
"He's going to finish school pretty early… He's a good boy too… I'm sure I could work things out. He could have a room in the military barracks too while he looks for a place to live."
I can't help but smile. It finally looks like my brother is going to have a bright future. All I want for him is his happiness…
We finish eating and he invites me to the living room so that we can watch a movie on his TV. I sit by him on the sofa but he pulls me closer and wraps his arms around me, making me sit between his legs. I feel my cheeks blushing and try to avoid his look. I'm still not too comfortable to be this close to him but I still relax after a while and keep close to him.
Roy POV
We watch the movie together in silence but I think he watches it more than me. I can't help myself from glancing at him from time to time. Look at his long blond hair or his long eyelashes. I can even feel his heart beating strongly under my arms. This was the best idea I had in a while. But, the more I look at him, the more I want-… I told him my feelings towards him. He wasn't direct with me but I'm sure he is feeling the same… I have to try…
I can't take the suspense anymore and I put a hand under his chin so that he looks at me. I see those two pools of gold looking at me with curiosity and I lean down to press my lips on his. I can sense his body tensing up in my arms. I know I took him by surprise but I don't like to just announce what I'm about to do. He should've known that by coming on this night with me, I wasn't going to do nothing. Being this close to him just makes my heart and my head go crazy.
I finally lean back, leaving his lips and I take a good look at his expression. I see that he is surprised but I already knew that. I just wonder if I didn't go too fast or if he liked it. Before I can say anything, he just kisses me again. I can't hold back anymore and open my mouth to fully make out with him. I can feel the awkwardness on his part. That's pretty cute… His lips feel soft and hot though… I slip my tongue in his mouth and can hear a little grunt coming from him. We make out on the sofa for what feels like an eternity and our lips finally part ways. His cheeks are a bright red and he's panting. I just notice now that I am too. I smirk at him as I see that he liked it as much as me and I wrap my arms more around him and place my forehead on his shoulder. I tell him softly, as if I am whispering.
"I want you to sleep with me tonight… Just stay the night in my arms."
It sounds as if I'm pleading to him but I'm just afraid he's going to go back at his house with nothing more. I just want to sleep and dream with him in my arms tonight… I don't want to be alone in my bed…
"Okay…" I hear him say quietly. "I'll stay the night with you… But don't try anything more, I… I'm not ready for more…"
I can't help but have an amused smile on my lips.
"I wasn't even thinking about it…"
I pick my head up to look in his bright golden eyes and continue.
"I just want to hold you in my arms all night long while we dream together. I'll have to be careful not to crush you though…"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean… You are pretty small. I don't want to hurt you."
I see him frown and I just smirk back at him.
"I'm not small you fucking bastard!"
And with that, I giggle a bit while he looks at me with his adorable pout.
I think everything will become brighter in the future with him by my side. The more time I spend with him, the less I want to let him go… He's just that special to me…
I hope you enjoyed this little fanfiction with a happy ending~
It was fun to work on it even though I had to ask the help of a friend to make it more interresting. Having imagination can be fun but a curse when you run out haha. I feel the ending was a bit short though but I couldn't figure out what more to write so if anyone wants (maybe) a litle 'bonus' 'extra' chapter, let me know by leaving a review and I'll see what I can do! (Maybe give me some ideas on what the bonus could be about too?)
Have a nice day and maybe see you later in another story~
