Transmutation Three

Sunday PT 1: A Neko's Life

Ed sat at the coffee table, facedown on the surface of the glass. His breathing caused it to fog up some. He never knew it was possible to be so. . . so BORED. Roy sat on the couch, reading a report that Riza had given to him the day before when she made them breakfast. It seemed that she wanted the man to suffer, even on his days off.

The phone rang. Roy picked it up to answer it.

"Mustang." he said. The person who had called made the raven haired man want to fry him.

"Hey, Roy! I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" the colonel sensed his friend smirking.

"Hughes. . . just get to the point of why you're calling, or I'm going to murder you the moment I see you." Roy growled in annoyance. There was a bit of silence.

"Well. . . it's about Ed. . ."

"Is there a way to turn him back?" the man jumped up.

"Actually. . . I was going to say he's only half your age! Not to mention a guy! Not only that, but. . ." Roy hung up on Hughes. Sometimes, the man just got too annoying for words.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Edward sat in front of the window, just because he liked the feeling of having the sun hit his face. He'd never knew it felt so unbelievably nice. Roy walked past the teen with a strange look, and then continued doing whatever he was doing.

The alchemist just stared out of the clear glass, watching the cars go by. That was pretty much it.

There was a loud knock on the door, that made Edward jump behind the couch. Roy chuckled, and answered it. Havoc stood there, at attention, holding a stack of papers.

"Havoc. . ." Roy said in surprise. ". . .it's SUNDAY. Not to mention a weekend."

"Yeah, well," the blond man scratched the back of his head. "Hawkeye made us stay and do any paperwork that was meant for you, and most of them needed your signature, and we knew if we copied your signature, it would be against the law, and you know how horrible Breda's handwriting is."

Ed perched up on the couch, watching the two men talking. His ears perked up to hear.

"Not only that," Havoc was about to finish. "the lieutenant said she'd give you an eternity of bullet holes if you didn't do the paperwork." Roy sighed, and took the paperwork.

"Okay, bye." he said, ready to shut the door. Havoc stopped him.

"Uh, Sir, correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard Hughes say something about. . ."

"OUT, HAVOC!.!.!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Edward reached into his bag of Goldfish. It had been a long time since he had some, and he missed it's wonderful taste. The neko boy took out several of the salty, cheesy treats, and popped them into his mouth. Roy passed by, quickly grabbing the bag, and taking them all for himself, and ran away in haste.

"Come back here!" Ed yelled out at him. The colonel giggled as he raced up the stairs, running into his bedroom, and slamming the door shut. Edward got up to it, and then heard the sound of a lock clicking.

"Damn it, Colonel, GIMME BACK MY SNACK!" the boy yelled. He heard someone munching on his precious Goldfish.

"Not unless you say the secret password, Full Neko!" Roy said inside. Ed grumbled to himself, and rubbed his forehead. He looked over to the bathroom a few rooms away, and then had an idea. He silently crawled over to it, and hid inside, out of sight.

Roy stopped munching on the Goldfish. Why was it silent all of a sudden? He listened as heard as he could, listening for any small breathing, but heard nothing. He opened the door by just a little, and peaked out of the crack. No one.

"Hm." Roy raised an eyebrow. Fullmetal wasn't the type to give up easilly. He stood up, and opened the door wide. He was certain the boy was hiding. He tip-toed his way in silence. He tip-toed so silent, that the Goldfish bag he was holding didn't make a sound.

He was close to the bathroom. Something was going to happen. Something surprising, he could feel it. Roy had to take full caution.

The man walked almost nearly past the door, when a black blur jumped out at him, making the sound of a screeching cat. Roy jumped, and let out a gasp, and Edward shoved him into the ground. The teen grabbed the Goldfish bag, and started to pet it.

"Are you little guys all right?" he asked softly, still sitting on Roy's stomach.

"Full. . .metal. . ." the older man grumbled.

"Yeah?" Ed asked, popping a Goldfish into his mouth. Roy was silent for a little bit. Then he smirked at a comment he could use to get the feline boy off of him.

"I never knew you liked me in that way, Full Neko." he said. There was a bit of silence again. Then Ed suddenly choked on some crumbs and began to cough. He quickly got up and kicked at the colonel's arm.

"You disgusting Inu Taisa!" he squeaked. Roy got up.

"At least I'm not the Full Neko," he said, with a smirk.

"At least I didn't sell my soul to the military, Inu Taisa!"

". . . . . . ."

Edward saw the man's silence. Had he gone too far? Well, it wasn't exactly Ed's fault in the first place, Roy started it. But then, what if the colonel didn't exactly sell his soul to the military?

"Sorry, Taisa. . ." the boy said. He saw a small tint of lonliness in the older man's eyes.

"It's not your fault. . ." Roy said as he walked past the boy and down the stairs. Edward watched him go.

"Crap, now I feel bad!"

Review. And I'll update. That is all.
