Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of its characters. If I did do you think I would be here writing stories? No, I would be making more episodes!

A/N: I seriously want to apologize for the ridiculously long wait for this chapter. Things happened and time got scarce. But here it is! I think this is my favorite chapter and so I'm hoping this makes up for the delay. Sorry!

Edward walked into his house, picked up the nearest item and threw it. He was extremely pissed off and had no idea why. Nothing bad had happened today, besides that damn meeting and that actually went pretty well. He was afraid that Roy would say something to force him to kick his ass. He was so tired of hurting that man. He had never known anyone more persistent than himself. Ed tells him to go away and Roy thinks it's an invitation to bother him.

'Why doesn't he just leave me alone! Why doesn't he just understand? I can't see him anymore. I just can't. I'm tired of dealing with this. I just want to leave. I don't want to have people ask me if I'm ok like I'm some kind of child. No, I'm not ok. Would you be?' He thought.

He wanted to just put his fist through something. He had no idea why, he just wanted to.

He had told Hawkeye that he was taking the rest of the day off to pack. He didn't need to pack. He had people that were going to do all that and send it to him. He just needed to grab what he needed for a couple days. He just didn't want to be there anymore.

There was a faint knock on his door and immediately he knew who it was. There was no mistaken that knock.

'Holy mother of fuck! Good God! Why is he here?'

He stood there looking at the door. He could just ignore it but Ed knew that he wouldn't go away. He reluctantly walked to the door, surprised by the fact that he was actually moving faster then he wanted to.

"Who is it?" he asked and then damned himself for being so stupid.

"It's just me." Roy said.

"Is there something that you forgot, sir?"

"No, Ed. Could you just let me in?"

"I think that you should leave before I do something you might regret."

"That's fine. I came back with every intention of getting my ass whipped, again."

Ed flung open the door and kicked Roy in the shin with his auto mail leg, which of course sent Roy to the ground. Ed jumped on him and grabbed him by the throat and squeezed a little bit.

"Why are you doing this? Just leave me alone!" Ed shouted.

"I... can't do ...that." Roy managed to say whilst being choked.

Ed smacked him. He didn't punch him he smacked him. Which caused Ed to sit back for a second trying to figure out why he had just SMACKED him. Roy took advantage of the pressure being released from his throat and sat up rather effortlessly since Ed was to busy being amazed with himself and took control of the situation. He now had Ed pinned to the ground.

"You bastard!" Ed said looking him in the eyes.

"Look, I don't want to hurt you so if you would just settle down a bit so we can talk."

"To bad asshole! You've already managed to do that!"

"Fine do you want to just fight then? I can let you up and we can fight!"

Roy jumped up and tried to take a few steps back but was quickly apprehended by Ed who then knocked him face down to the ground. Ed grabbed him by the hair and put him in a chokehold. Roy quickly rolled over knocked Ed off of him. Roy grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up off his feet then slammed him into the wall of the building

"Are you finished?" Roy said breathlessly.

"Never!" Ed said.

He then kneed Roy in the hip rather close to other things that even Ed wouldn't dare to kick. That would just be immoral. Roy dropped him quicker than Ed would of thought, taking him by surprise and bouncing his head off the wall rather painfully as he fell.

"Shit! Jesus that hurt!" Roy said breathlessly.

"Yeah well at least I didn't drop you!" Ed said.

"Technically you did. And if you weren't so damn small it wouldn't of hurt so bad."

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE CALLING PERSON SO SMALL THAT THEY NEED TO STAY WITHIN TWO INCHES OF THE GROUND OR FEAR DEATH FROM FALLING!"

Roy laughed.

"You know that I didn't say that."

"Oh fuck you!" Ed said. He got up and walked inside leaving the door open behind him.

"Does that mean I can come in?" Roy asked.

"Just fucking say what you have to say and go. I'm tired of fighting with you! Your so god damn hardheaded that it doesn't make a difference anyway! So fucking come on." Ed yelled as he flopped into the chair nursing his head. Roy stood up and followed him in and shut the door behind him.

xxxxxxxxxx

They both sat for a while saying and doing absolutely nothing. They stared in space barely acknowledging the fact that they we in each other's company. Roy looked around and noticed that nothing was packed.

"I thought that you said you were going to be packing?" he said.

"Wow. You are really dense when it comes to people using some of the same lines you do to get out of working. I have people doing it all for me then shipping it to me." Ed replied.

"Why are you going?" Roy couldn't help but let the words slip his tongue.

"Why not? Why would I want to stay? I have nothing here. And it's a proven fact that separation is one of the best tools used to mend people from traumas that have been bestowed upon them. It helps you to forget things if they aren't right in front of your face."

"Is that what your trying to do, forget me?"

Ed looked at him with such a hurtful expression.

"No, I couldn't forget you if my life depended on it. I try to forget things that people do. It makes it easier to detach from them. I will never forget them but if I forget what they do and what they've done and then they just become people to me and soon after that I just stop caring."

This hurt Roy so badly it was all he could do to keep from gasping.

"You're trying to erase me from your memory until I am just another person to you."

"That is the idea. I also promised to make your job a lot easier, which by all means it will be."

"You think that you leaving will make my job easier? You're kidding right? Do you know how hard it will be knowing that you aren't going to kicking my door down 3 times a day?"

"What do you expect of me, Roy? Do you expect me to just smack your hand and tell you not to do it again? I don't understand."

"No I don't want you to do that. I don't want you to leave. I don't want to just throw everything away without trying to work things out."

"This is what you want to do. What if I don't? What if it would be easier for me to leave?"

"If you can honestly tell me that you don't want anything to do with me ever again, fine. If you absolutely have no need or want to see me, then fine. I will do what you wish."

This was his chance. He could get rid of him and be on his way to getting rid of everything else with 2 simple words "I do". He couldn't say it. He couldn't lie to him. He still had a little bit of a desire to be with him in every way possible. He missed him. He couldn't make this kind of decision until he knew answers. Moving to Xing was the pussy way out and he knew it. He could leave and then he would have to move on, but Roy was here now asking him to make this decision.

"Tell me why you did it," he said.

Roy sighed.

"I honestly don't know. We got drunk and one thing led to another. I didn't plan it like you think I did. I had no intentions of doing anything like that to you. Believe me."

"I believe that you didn't want to do it but you still did. Were you not aware of what you were doing? I understand that by the time you did her we weren't together but it was like 5 hours after. I just can't believe that you weren't aware of it. You could of stopped."

"Yeah I know. If I could go back and stop I would, but I can't. I can only apologize to you and hope that you understand that it was not to spite you."

"What about what you said before all that? Am I really just a fucking call boy to you?"

"Oh god no! You mean so much to me and you will never know. I wasn't thinking when I said that, I was pissed off and I felt like you were ganging up on me. So I unleashed whatever anger I had pent up from the conversation and flying objects that came close to giving me a concussion."

"Why were you so ashamed to admit to being with me?" Ed said.

His voice was getting calmer and calmer. It was a big relief to Roy. Ed wasn't as tense as he was when this started. That was a good sign.

"I wasn't ashamed of being with you. I was ashamed of the fact that I was with a younger person. I am 14 yrs. your senior Ed. There are so many people that would talk about this and others that would try to overthrow me. I know that I told you that I was prepared to take responsibility for my actions but to be honest with you I wasn't. I was prepared to do anything to be with you."

"You should of known that it would eventually catch up to you."

"I know but I guess I just really didn't want to think about it."

"You of all people should know that you are suppose to look before you leap. Did you honestly not see us being us for long? Or was it, simply put, just sex?"

Roy didn't say anything and Ed got the point rather quickly.

"Silence, painful yet honest. That is an admirable trait." Ed said.

"It wasn't like that for long. It didn't take me long to figure out that I actually wanted to be with you in more than 1 way. I fell in love with you."

"Yeah, that's something that happened to me a while ago. Hey, they always say that your first love is the one that usually fucks it up for the ones after them. It's just a shame that we couldn't prove that theory wrong. It would have been fun."

Roy sighed. He felt the temperature in his body drop 15 degrees. Then everything went numb. Had he finally lost him? This couldn't be it.

(No!)

"I thank you for giving me the answers to my questions." Ed said.

(God!)

"I also thank you for being honest with me."

(Please!)

"I think that maybe its time for you to move on Colonel."

(No!)

"I'm leaving in 4 days and it would be a lot easier if we just said goodbye here."

(Wait!)

Ed stood up, " I think you know your way out so I am going to say goodbye and then go because I can't watch you leave.

(Wait!)

Ed stood up and looked at him. "Good bye", Ed's eyes left Roy's as he turned towards the kitchen evidently heading for the back door.

WAIT!

Roy stood up and ran over to Ed and wrapped his arms around him.

"Please don't. You can't just leave like this. You have to give me a chance. Please!"

Ed's face was buried in Roy's chest. His breathing was increasing at a rapid pace.

"Don't... please don't!" Ed said desperately. His voice had raise an octave and he was holding back.

"I can't let you go! I just can't. I miss you so much." Roy, interesting enough to say, looked like he was holding back himself. "I want to see you sleeping and your hair, your smile………please don't take yourself away from me"

"Roy…stop." Ed whispered. Anything louder and he would of cracked.

Roy gently lifted Ed's face to his and stared into his watery eyes. He gently kissed him and ran his hands across the braid that was still in Ed's hair. Ed pushed a little in to Roy to bring more closeness to the kiss. He felt Roy's tongue brush over his bottom lip and slowly parted his mouth for him. They shared one of the most passionate kisses that either one of them would ever experience. Roy wrapped his arms around Ed and depleted any other space there was between them. Ed quietly moaned at the feeling of Roy's body against his. He was totally lost to all thought. There were few things that could break his concentration right now.

Roy was amazed at how much he had missed Ed. He missed his mouth and his hands. He was almost floored by the soft moan that fluttered from Ed's lips. That could easily be one of his favorite sounds. He didn't know what had came over him but he couldn't walk away without at least having this feeling one more time.

Ed pulled away far enough to be able to say something. His lips brushed Roy's while he spoke.

"I can't do this anymore. It hurts."

"I won't hurt you again. I promise." Roy whispered back.

Ed pushed away a little but more to where he was looking into Roy's eyes.

"You promised the first time."

Roy sighed. He rested his head on top of Ed's.

"I will always love you Ed. There is nothing you can do about that. I can't let you go."

"You have to." Ed said. He started to walk backwards, causing Roy to have to lift his head up.

"I have to go." Ed said as he turned around and walked out of the house leaving Roy to stand there.

Roy wasn't going to let him go. He couldn't. He didn't want to be with anyone else. He turned and slowly walked out of the apartment. He locked the door behind him and headed off to his own house. There was no way he was going to let him get away. Not now. He would die before that happened.

Thank you guys oh so much for your lovely reviews! And now I shall respond.

Genkai-Chan: I'm glad I put you on the edge of your seat! It means I'm probably doing a good job. XD Thank you for reviewing!

Br14nn4: LOL thanks for not hunting me down. I was really scared there for a min. XD I do apologize for the cliffs but they make it fun sometimes. I also appreciate the information. I'm dense at times but you guys still put up with me!

Dhrachth: Thanks!

Shingo-sama: I'm so happy you love my story! I love yours too! I can only promise to try to keep Ed here. He has a mind of his own and it's hard to change his mind sometimes. You're so great and I love you! You're doing a sequel! EKKKKKKKKKKK that's excellent:hugs:

Yuki: Hey I love your name! I'm happy for your insights. I did leave out all the other conversations to make this one more powerful. Did it work? And the list, yes the list of things Roy loves about Ed, its easy enough, all you have to do is put yourself in Roy's position and there you go. Ed's so beautiful! Thank you so much for your review!

Anonymous: Everybody Hug Ed! (hugs) I thought for a while about who to put in this story to basically be a moderator between the two and Riza is the only one who fit the description. I'm glad you think I'm doing her well (sounds awkward heehee) she can be pretty tough to write sometimes. XD

Syao9: I hope I didn't kill you with the lack of update. If I did I promise to bring you back to life. (Thinking of how to do that) I hope you liked this chapter. XD

YamiEmmy: LOL you're so funny! It is worth it.

Lostgirl67: Thank you so much.

Midnightsnow57: I think he's got it in his head that if he doesn't act quickly he will lose him. Let's hope it's not to late. And I don't mind your rants. Everyone is lucky enough to have not read my rants because everyone is so nice! However, if I ever do get a flame be prepared! Sorry for the long wait. XD

Ranger: Ok, I should have explained that part. When Ed went to wait in the office for Roy, I guess he didn't actually "wait" in there the whole time. He figures this all out before Roy got to the office, meaning he did have to leave to do all that. I'm sorry for confusing you and I hope I didn't confuse you more. Aside from the mix up I hope your enjoying the story XD.

Shotafairy: Thank you for clearing the whole NVM thing. XD Ed would not be Ed if he weren't bad ass. You can't take him and make him a sissy just because he found someone to love (completely different from Al) He's a strong person and so there is no need to make him anything other then such. I'm glad you like my Ed. It makes me happy! Kiss, indeed! Make up, I hope so!

Christine: LMAO, your great. I would let you have my baby but you have to take it up with my husband! I appreciate your compliments soooooo much. (hugs) I am actually honored that you decided to choose my story as your first FMA fanfic. I hope I have managed to pull you into the wonderful world of Roy/Ed stories. It's great here! I will try to keep you happy so I don't get beat with a stick lol. If you kill me I won't be able to finish XD.

Chibiloner: Emotional is exactly what I was going for! Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

Loki el Diablo: No that wasn't the end, but this chapter is the 2nd to the last. Next chapter is the last. (in a way) Question, this is in no way to offend you, but if you were Ed and put everything that you were into this, finally let down your guard, and totally fell in love with this man then had him hide it for two years only to blow up on you basically telling you that you were just a piece of ass to him, would you forgive him? Your answer to this question will be very helpful, seriously. (Anyone else who reads this answer too) Despite the sexiness of Roy lol. I'm glad you like this story. Makes me so happy:hugs

Edward4: lol I can only do so much to the poor guy before I start to feel bad but oh yeah he's suffering!

NaGami cabAsa: Was it really that intense? BAD ASS! I'm happy you're enjoying this. I hope you continue too.
