Warnings: None

Pairing: Roy/Ed


Really, Roy couldn't figure out why Edward was laughing. All he did was open the door and Ed took one glance and was doubled over. It wasn't exactly his fault that his appearance caused it; it was that ball of energy Hughes' called his daughter.

"Edward, what could you possibly find so amusing that you'd laugh this much in front of your superior?"

This seemed to produce more laughter when Ed tried to look up at Roy to answer. Roy rolled his eyes, stepping aside to allow Ed inside his best friend's home. He had only just put Elysia to bed and when Ed had come knocking, it hadn't left much leeway to clean up the mess that she had made of his face. Come to think of it, he wasn't quite sure why he allowed the little demon to do that to him in the first place...

Roy walked towards the kitchen, turning on the water in hopes of none of the make-up being waterproof. If it was, he was going to be stuck in it for a while or have some of it running in globs down his face. Roy wasn't too keen on giving Edward another reason to laugh at him, but he had no idea where Elysia had found Gracia's make-up supplies. He took a deep breath, let it go, and paused for a moment at Ed's comment, the warm washcloth poised in between the sink and his face.

"You know, you don't look that bad in red lipstick..."

Roy smirked, turning off the sink and putting the washcloth down. "Hmm, it would look better on you..."

When Hughes got home, he and Gracia found Roy sitting on the couch reading with Ed leaning against him sleeping. Traces of make-up could still be seen on Roy and red lipstick was smeared on Ed's neck as his lips were tinted red. Hughes shook his head as he took in the sight.

"Roy, I told you. Absolutely no boys!"


AN: I need to work on my titles… XD Babysitting Elysia holds quite a few possibilities. :X
