Transmutation Twelve

Wednesday PT 4: I Love You. . .I Think

"Really. . . I'm. . ." Roy blushed, but the younger alchemist couldn't see. "I'm seriously in love with you."

Ed's eyes widened, as he held back a gasp, that had turned into a long inhale. He felt something in his chest leap, but didn't know what the heck it was.

"You've got to be kiddi-" but Edward was cut off.

"This isn't a joke!" Roy snapped without meaning to. The younger alchemist was silent. What was he supposed to say? It wasn't like being able to answer back grew on trees! Or something.

"Mew?" Ed managed to say. He blinked, and his cat ears twitched. There was more silence.

"Colonel, I. . ." the teen took a deep breath. There was no answer. "Colonel?" he walked over to the couch, and looked over at Roy, who was getting ready to burst out laughing.

"Oh boy. . ." the blond rolled his eyes.

"Gotcha!" Roy yelled, totally out of character to even breath. He burst out laughing, and cleared his throat.

"Sorry about that, Full Neko." he said, still chuckling. "I just HAD to get that out of my system."

"Sure ya did. . ." Ed grumbled, feeling something in his chest fall for some reason. Not that he really cared, but still.

A half second later, the phone rang. Roy went and answered it.

"Hello?" he said. He blinked, and Ed listened to the muffled voice in the phone. "you what?"

". . . . ." the neko boy wondered what was going on. He knew if he wasn't careful, he'd make the saying 'Curiosity killed the cat' literal.

Roy hung up after a minute with an annoyed look on his face. He grabbed his coat and walked over to the door.

"I'll be back in a few. Watch over the house for me while I'm gone, okay?" the man asked. Then he chuckled. "oh yeah, you're no dog. AHAHAHAHA!" then he rushed out of the house.

"What was that all about?" Ed asked aloud.

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

While Ed waited for the Colonel's return, he wondered what the phone call was about. Did something happen to the guy who turned him into this chimera cat thing-a-ma-bob? Was the serial killer. . .what's his name. . .Scar, killing more people? Did something happen?

I NEED TO KNOW! Ed yelled in his mind. The door opened

"Seriously, Rei, don't you go ANYWHERE without ending up in an accident?" Roy asked in a VERY VERY annoyed voice.

"I'm sorry, Nii-San, but for me, it's like I'm followed by bad luck!" a familiar voice said.

"Full Neko! I'm back!" the older man called, and Ed walked into the room. Rei saw him.

"Oh! Nii-San's lover! It's good to see you again for a second time in one day!" the older teenager smiled.

"Lover?" Ed twitched.

"Rei!" Roy scolded. "wh-whatever gave you that idea?" Rei winked at him, and a look formed on his face. The look that said 'I-know-what-you-think-about-doing-every-night.' The older brother blushed, and whacked him in the back of the head, the way he does to Fury whenever he freaks out when he thinks there are ghosts around.

"So, Rei, why are you here again?" Edward asked in curiosity.

"Oh, one of the trains made it's way off the track and crashed." Rei answered, with the same smile. "they are all going to be out for a few days." then he turned to his older brother. "by the way, Nii-San, that one blond smoker guy. . ."

"Havoc? What about him?"

"I caught him about to kiss a young soldier with glasses. . ."

"Young soldier with glasses?" Ed blinked. Then he gasped. "HUGHES?"

"Hughes isn't young, Full Neko." Roy laughed. "he's older than me."

"Then who. . .?"

"ANYHOW!" Rei interrupted still grinning. "where am I gonna sleep tonight, Nii-San!.? I don't wanna be a bother and sleep in your bed!" Roy rolled his eyes as his brother happily hummed to himself as he made his own bed on the couch in a few minutes.

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

Ed yawned loudly as he got ready for bed, and scratched behind his neko ears. Before he went to bed, he'd usually get a glass of water so he can try to find a way to wet Roy's sheets in the middle of the night, and make him clean it up. So, the teen went downstairs and into the dark living room, where he would head for the dark kitchen.

"What are you doing down here, Edo-kun?" Rei asked, standing in front of the kitchen doorway.

"Getting a drink. . ." Ed answered, raising an eyebrow. ". . .so. . .could you move out of the way? Please?" the older teenager didn't answer, and smirked the same smirk Roy had, and walked over to the blond.

"I can see why my brother lusts for you. . ." he placed his hand under Ed's chin and brought up his face. The neko-boy's eyes widened, as he saw that Rei was a completely different person. He looked. . . A bit evil.

"Um?" was all Ed could say. He started to twitch, and then he started to fidget. He was getting uncomfortable. ". . .could you. . .let me go get a drink now?" Rei was making Ed get more paranoid by the second. If this kept up, he would scream and run away whenever the name 'Mustang' or any other three letter name that started with 'R' was mentioned.

"Rei!" a voice called, the living room light switching on. Rei and Edward looked over to the direction of the stairs, where Roy stood in shock.

"Wh-what the hell are you doing with Fullmetal?" he asked. The younger brother brought Ed into a bear hug.

"I just love the way his neko ears twitch, Nii-San!" Rei squeaked, his personality changed. Roy raised an eyebrow.

"If that's the case. . ."

'No! Don't leave me here all by myself with this guy whom I don't even wanna know is gonna do to me when you leave!' Ed thought in fear.

"Come one, Ed." the oldest man sighed. Rei let go of the blond, as he raced up the stairs. Roy looked over to his brother, who just smiled and waved, and switched off the light.

&&&&&&&&&

Ed made his way into the bed, and settled in the sheets. He was scared. Scared of what would have happened to him if Roy hadn't come to the rescue. He waited a few seconds until after Roy settled himself beside him.

"Ed, I want to tell you something. About my brother. . ."

"Yeah?"

"Be careful when you're alone around him." Roy warned. "he had this condition since he was a little kid. . ."

Ed kept listening.

"He can have a personality change when he's alone and around someone he knows he's not related to. . . And if that person is someone he seems to feel connected to. . . Like what happened earlier. . ."

Roy could hear a faint gulp, and smirked.

"Which is why you'd be safer if you were with me most of the time!"

"You Mustangs are all the same. . ." Ed grumbled. The older man chuckled, and sighed. His smirk faded to a frown, and he closed his eyes to sleep.

gets beaten up- I deserve it XD

I bet you weren't thinking that Rei had a condition now, didn't ya? Well, ya know what? Ya weren't supposed to! AHAHAHAHA! Anyhow, Rei reminds me of Hatsuharu Sohma from Fruits Basket. . . 'two-sided' people. . . Review and I'll update, all right?
