The courage my mother had,

Went with her, and is with her still,

Rock from New England quarried;

Now Granite in a ganite hill,

The golden braoch my mother wore,


She left behind for me to wear,

I have nothing I treasute more,

Yet, it is somethine I could spare,

Oh if instead she' left to me

The thing she took into the grave,

That courage like a rock,

Which she,

Has no more need of,

And I have.

-ST. V. Millay

Chapter Seven

Edward smirked as she leaned against the tired and defeated colonel. They were comforablely laying against each other on the couch. Roy sighed as he closed his eyes, his chin on top of the honey-colored blonde's head. "I can't believe you, sometimes." Roy mubbled as the blonde nested closer to him as possible. Edward was still wearing the long dress that everyone put on her. "Well at least I locked the door." Edward said as she looked up and placed a soft kiss on Roy's lips. Roy smirked, "oh?" He kissed Ed back just as soft. Roy's left hand was on Edward's behind while his right was playing with the long blonde hair that was undone from the tight bun.

They heard several knocks coming from the office door. "Colonel! Your not off duty yet!" The voice of Riza Hawkeye came through the door. Edward snickered and didn't let Roy up. Roy groaned knowing that he was going to get killed by the stict blonde later. "Edward, come on, get up." Roy moaned, not really wanting the blonde to get off. "I don't wanna" Edward responded and slide up sitting on the colonel. It was a very subjestive postition for the pair. Edward had the dress liffted up so She could sit on the colonel. Roy felt a growing throb in his pants. Edward leaned down and kissed the colonel deeply. When the kiss broke, Roy whined. "I'm apost to be on top." Edward blinked and thought about it. "We're not gonna do that in the office!"

Then there was loud clanky kind of knocks. "EDWARD! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING IN THE OFFICE!" The voice of Alphonse came through the doors. "Oh shit!" Edward mubbled and got off of the colonel. "shit shit shit shit shit! I can't let him see me like this! shit. " Edward looked towards the door. "AL I AM NOT DOING THAT! " Edward yelled and then looked to see if the crew throw her clothing in the office by chance. No luck.

Roy stood up and fixed his clothing. "Well, we always get disrupted." Roy mubbled and walked to the door. "No, don't unlock that! We'd both be dead!" Edward said dramaticly, waving her arms up and down.

It was dim in the room. Five men and four womens dressed in long lab coats sat around a table. There faces were unclear in the dim light. "Why did the military Interfer?" A man who was siting at the head of the table questioned his group. The others looked towards him. One of the females with long brown hair tied up into two buns one each at a side of her head. "Sir, I believe they figured us out. But it also seems we finally made a perfect male/female. Gennings and I were over by the brat's house. It seems that the "Full Metal" Alchemist is now female. " The women said in a low but seemly friendly voice.

" That's wonderful, but terrorable news, Miss. Glory. " The man replied. "Now we need that damned brat Full Metal to complete our research. " The group looked down at their papers. "Most of the research we did finish was burned in the fire of our lab. So first we'll work on that. Let that brat have a seemingly peace. Then we'll find out if he is really completely female." The group murrmered agreements. "Then we might be able to complete the human transmutation. After all. Women harvest the power to create life. "

Roy fell down on to his couch and sighed. He had taken quite a beating from Edward's brother. Who's the older one? Roy thought as he stared up ward at the ceilling. Full Metal's not helping me any by sneaking into my office and house just to see or flirt with me. Everytime we get a chance to move up a level, something happens. Roy sighed and turned to his side facing the inter portion of the couch. Well most of the time it is my fault. Ed needs to get over her short complex. Roy closed his eyes, sighed and continued thinking. Will we still be together if Ed does find a way to turn back? Will he want to turn back? Will he ask me about it? I shouldn't have a relationship with a person half my age, but I can't seem to help it. Should I be thinking this way? Should we be together? Roy heard footsteps coming up to him. He heard a fimilar snicker, he turned on to his back and opened his eyes to see the face of Edward looking at him. "Really, Colonel, you shouldn't keep your back unguarded. " Edward whispered and gave the man a light kiss.

"I can't seem to stay away from you." Ed whispered into Roy's ear, sending shivers down the older man's back. Edward got on two her knees and smiled kindly, a smile Roy had never seen before. Edward was in a black blouse and black jeans, Roy guessed that Edward had taken off her boots at the hallway. "Ed.." Roy whispeared out. Edward leaned down again and set a soft kiss on to the man's lips. "No matter how much trouble I get into with Al, I want to stay with you for a little while. He's concerned that you'd brake my heart." Edward set another soft kiss on the side of Roy's face. "He's worried about me. He wants me to return to normal." An other kiss onto the neck.

Roy wrapped his arms around the small blonde and pulled her onto the couch on top of him. He gave a small kiss. "Don't worry, I'll stay with you no matter what you look like." Roy said and easily rolled over so that he was on top of the blonde. He pressed his lips against Edwards, he niped the bottom lip as to get access. Edward complied by opening her mouth slightly, Roy's tounge brushed against Edwards, wrapped around it. When the kiss broke, Roy put a soft kiss on Edwards neck and slightly niped and sucked the soft area, getting a reward of a soft moan excaping Edward's mouth.

Roy slowly removed Edwards blouse and placed soft kisses on to her soft delicate stumach. Roy was careful of the automail, it's metal shined in the dim light of the living room. The several removements of clothing shortly and slightly covered the carpeted floor. Edward's breathe hitched as Mustang hesitate but slowly entered her. Edward willed Roy to continue and Roy complied with short slow thurst which over a short time became faster longer thrusts at Ed's demand. Shivers ran down Roy's back each time Edward moaned out his name hottly under unstable breathes.

Edward saw hot flashes of light each time Roy thrusted into her. Roy leaned down and captured her lips into his. Kissed her neck. Soon the pleasure endded as Roy climaxed in her and layed on her. Edward wrapped her arms around Roy and held Roy close to her. Never wanting to let go. Soon the couple fell asleep on the couch against each other, careless of the unforeseen events that were to come.

I wouldn't coax the plant

If I were you,

Such watchful nurturing

May do it harm,

Let the soil rest

from so much digging,

And wait until it's dry

Before you water it.

The leaf is inclined to

find it's own direction;

Give it a chance to seek the

Sunlight for itself,

Much growth is stunted

by too careful prodding,

Too eager tenderness,

The things we love,

we have to learn,

To leave alone.
