FMA doesn't belong to me. Arakawa Hiromu and Square Enix. Yawn.

Ed: --;

"Look, do you know why I led you here today?"

Ed stared at him. He had a reason? This was unlike him.

"I can't tell you yet. I'll see if I can tell you at the end of the day."

Ed blinked.

"Taisa, what is the meaning of this? You drag me here against my will and you expect me to be patient?"

Ed sighed as he scratched his head in thought.

Roy looked slightly hurt, and looked at his boots. After a few seconds he regained his composure.

"Edward-kun, I really can't tell you. My judgement will be decided on your behavior today, so cooperate with me just for one day."

Ed sighed once more. Again with the 'Edward-kun' crap. What was wrong with him? Did he take his medication, get an overdose or something? He looked up at the sky and noticed rain clouds stretching towards the horizon.

"Taisa-"

"First off, don't call me taisa. Call me Roy."

"Kuso... fine, Roy," Ed sneered, "but I just want to tell you we might want to leave soon unless you want to be a wet match."

"Nani? Ah..." Roy frowned as he looked up at the darkening horizon. He had planned a few outdoor things today, but he had to change his schedule.

"Funny, I thought shrimps liked water..."

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING A SHRIMP SO SMALL HE COULD DROWN IN THE OCEAN????"

Roy chuckled and ruffled Ed's hair.

"Just keep that stuff up. It's always cute."

Cute? Cute? Ed felt faint.

"A few changes in plans, Edo-kun," Roy said as he walked quickly.

"Oh, so now you're dragging me back to Central?"

"Yes. Any other questions?"

Sigh. Ed didn't enjoy being manipulated. It just made his head hurt. Nonetheless, he followed Roy back to Central's main building.

Roy shut and locked the door to his room.

"Guess I have a few things to explain."

"You got that right, tai- I mean, Roy."

Roy silently cursed at the rain. It was his only weakness, and boy did it mess up his day. He sat in his chair and looked up at Ed.

"Hagane no, come here."

Back to 'Hagane no?' Ed's head was spinning. He felt sick now. He just had a bad feeling about this whole day. He inched towards the desk and transmuted the floor to a chair next to it. He sat on it and waited.

"Closer."

"Taisa, this is as close as it's gonna get. Anymore and I'll puke on you."

Roy stared at him for a couple seconds, and folded his hands together to support his head. He closed his eyes in a silent prayer and looked at Ed.

"I wanted this to be a fun day for the two of us. But the damn rain ruined the whole thing. But the thing is- I..." Roy just couldn't say it.

"Save it. I already know what you're going to say." Ed stood up and paced across the room.

"To think...to think that you, of all men..." Ed frowned.

He stared at Roy, who looked uncomfortable under his gaze. Ed slumped down on his seat and thought hard for a while. So that's why he was acting weird today.

"Roy?"

"What...?"

"I'm not quite sure what's going on, but okay."

"Okay?"

"I mean, yea. I liked you too, I guess." Ed cringed. What did I get myself into??

Roy smiled.

"Thank you."

Riza Hawkeye was about to knock on the door to deliver back some paperwork he had signed incorrectly, but she stopped as she heard the conversation.

Hawkeye frowned. What? Her Roy was...gay? She must do something, before they...she didn't want to think about it!

Aha! I thought my plot up now! I got dizzy when I completely killed Riza's character. I'll fix it back in the next chapter XD
