Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, but after writing this friggin' story it sure gets to feeling like I do sometimes.
Warning: Umm… little sensual scenes here, not too bad, but don't read if you don't care for that kind of stuff. Ok, you've been warned so it's not my fault if you get mad!
A/N: This is the last chapter guys, so… please enjoy, I really tried to end it well!
Will You Stay?
Ceasing all movements, I listen for the tell-tale sign of life. I'm soon rewarded as the sound of deep breathing greets my ears. I recognize that state of steady breathing; he must be asleep. Perhaps he really was ill.
A longing to see my gorgeous idol in the depths of slumber soon overcomes my senses and pushes me quietly down the darkened hall. Standing in the doorway of his room, I smile secretly to myself. His gentle breathing moves his naked chest up and down in a slow rhythm, and his raven's-wing hair is swept across the pale planes of his face. Striding forward and kneeling beside his bed, before I'm even aware that I've moved, I run one of my fingers over his slightly swollen lips. Thick lashes flutter and pull back to reveal flame-ridden orbs, and as I stare into the dancing flames I can feel myself becoming swallowed and burned by them.
"E… Ed, what are you doing here," he stutters.
"Oh, I… I'm sorry. Your door was unlocked so I let myself in. I .. Umm… I wanted to talk to you," I finally manage to say seriously.
"About what?" He avoids the issue, pretending to be oblivious to any and all confrontations.
My lips tighten in a firm line before I continue. "Don't, Sensei… don't play dumb with me. What are you so afraid of?"
I watch in consternation as his lids fly open in alarm and he jumps out of bed, and pulls away from me, getting as close to the opposite wall as he can.
Sighing I say, "Never mind…Sensei? …When I went back to class you were gone. Are you sick?"
He squints across the room at me in confusion before replying. "Wha? No, no, I … I quit."
My eyes go wide and my mouth hangs agape in bafflement before my lungs burst forth enough air to shout, "You WHAATT?"
"I said I…"
I throw my hand up to interrupt him from continuing. "I know what you said, but what? Why?" I scramble around for the right words to say. 'What do I ask? Why all of a sudden? What?' … Suddenly, a word jolts through my mind, 'together,' and with that word comes a sentence, 'Edward… I think Mustang-san and Envy-sama are…together.'
"Ed, I.." he tries again to explain, but I have other things on my mind.
"Sensei… what happened in Envy-sama's office today?" My voice quivers slightly as I fear his response, but soon my anxiety turns to anger and I rush across the room to stand directly before Mustang-san. My voice rises as I practically scream in his nervous face, "Are you two LOVERS!"
Gasping in surprise, he again flinches away from me and tries to become 'one with the wall.' "N…no. We…he… I… no."
"God DAMN it! Stop flinching, I'm not going to hurt you. And if you two aren't together then WHY were you in his office with your friggin' shirt half off? And WHY are your lips bruised? And WHY did you slap him? " I'm starting to tear up now, and though I try to hold them back, the river was just too strong for the dam, and as my emotions overwhelm me I clutch at his arms in dire need of answers. Finally, sobbing out my last question, "Wh… why did you leave," I fall to my knees and release my grasp on his shirt sleeves.
After several long seconds, broken only by the sound of my hoarse sobs, I feel strong arms wrap around me in a warm embrace. Two slender fingers grasp my chin and pull my face upwards to meet Sensei's. As our mouths lock the very air seems to sing with the sound of childish angels. I can't help but feel warmth spread throughout my entire body as it reminds me of that summer day that I spent with Russell and the watermelon in Seattle. I can only hope that Sensei and I will have as many wonderful memories to reflect on years from now when we're having a 'rainy day.'
Sensei releases his possessive hold on my lips, but he doesn't pull away. I continue to rest in his cradling arms as he whispers gently into my hair, "Ed… I love you."
My lips part so that I can again confess my immortal feelings, but I'm quickly silenced by those two fingers.
"Shh, Ed, let me clear everything up. Please."
As he scoots back to rest against the wall I turn around so that my back is snuggled against his chest and so that I'm sitting comfortably between his outstretched legs. As he begins to speak I lean my head backwards and nuzzle against his neck. Brushing my lips across his sensitive throat gains me the reward of hearing Sensei's speech hitched by a sensual gasp.
"Sensei, I don't really need to know right now. I'd much rather have some physical exercise than sit here and talk about our misunderstandings."
I grin happily after licking the sweet flesh of his lips and diving down into the wet depths behind the cavernous walls. My blood races faster as I slip my hand down into his tight jeans, and his husky moan only heightens my raging temperature.
"Sensei, I do believe I've gotten into your pants," I tease.
His sweet laugh is soon cut off as he skillfully pushes me down beneath him. As his hands pull away my offending clothing, and as his carnivorous mouth travels along my exposed skin, I twist my hands frantically in his silky hair.
Pulling away from me slightly, he ceases his ministrations long enough to cause me a great deal of frustration.
"Ed, don't call me Sensei anymore. I'm not teaching any longer," he states honestly.
"Ahh, but you're wrong. You're teaching me all this right now, aren't you," I question while waving a finger at him reproachfully.
His wicked grin emerges as he catches my drift. "Still… now that we're… together…"
"Lovers," I interrupt, "Now that we're lovers, right Sensei?" I stare hopefully up at the man above me. I want more than anything to own him, heart, body, and soul.
"Yes… so I wish you'd call me Roy."
"Roy? Hmm… Roy Mustang." I love the way his name rolls off my tongue, it's so strong and solid. Just saying his name while laying in this position gives me unexpected pleasure.
"Roy? …If you've quit your job, how're we going to be together?" I'm seriously frustrated and distraught over this new dilemma in the path of my love.
He apparently hears the worry in my voice because he quickly smiles reassuringly down at me. "Ed, now that I'm not your teacher they can't expel you from school. I can get a job elsewhere, and after you've graduated from high school you can move in with me."
Not thoroughly convinced I press, "But what about…"
"Until then…" he frowns down at me menacingly, "you will continue to study hard and I will see you as often as possible." His frown lifts from his face.
"And how 'often' will 'often' be?"
Smiling sweetly down at me, he brushes several light kisses along my cheek. "Nearly every day," he whispers.
Feeling reassured of our future plans, I hungrily pull him down to continue our previous engagement.
"Roy, we'll always be together, right?"
"Forever and for always."

A/N: Wow, I actually finished it! It's about time, but now I'll never hear from most of you ever again. There are a couple of you I email, but there's a whole huge chunk of you who I don't. I'll miss you all sooooooo much! I really tried to make this last chapter really good for you guys, so I really hope you enjoyed it. I'm so sad right now, but on the plus side, this means that I have more time to devote to my Weiss Kruez story, Lurking in the Darkness. By the way, next weekend is my homecoming dance so I went out and bought a dress today, I usually don't wear dresses cause I hate them, but this is a special occasion. Anyways, it's green with this see-through black material over it and it's got glittery silver roses on it… it's soooooo pretty, but it's halter top (no straps) so I hope it doesn't fall down while I'm jumping around at the dance. I get pretty excited at these things cause all my bazillions of friends are there and we're all together at once, which usually never happens, so I get sooooo hyped up. Anyways, I just had to tell you about my little party comin up and maybe someday I'll write another FMA fanfic for you guys, but I don't have anything planned at the moment. Well, I'll see you guys later maybe. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING!
