A/N: Yay! People liked my last chapter! I think that was my favourite one yet. I had giggle fits throughout the whole time writing it. XD I'm going to have lots of fun writing this chapter when Ed confronts Roy. Hehe, this is going to be uber fun! To Rita: I realize that the reviews take up room, but I want to respond to my reviewers; especially if they had a question or a suggestion. I look at how long the reviews take up, and make sure the chapter is a decent length. I am getting better at making them longer. I will try to slow down the pace a bit as well.

TO MY REVIEWERS:

Angi: Lmao, yeah Roy's "Procedure" made me laugh too. XD

GalacticHitchhiker42: I'm glad you like the summary for my one-shot. Hopefully I get it done this century.

Br14nn4: I tried my best for a little lime scene. Yay! New summary sounds good? Hehe, I'm happy.

Cinnakat: I'm glad you like it!

Ebony Colmen: Yeah, I know I had a really hard time not falling off my chair laughing my ass off writing it. Thank you, that means a lot to me. It isn't so much that it's hard for me to stop, but the reason why I do it. It used to be really hard for me to go just a few days without it because of the urge but now it's different. But anyway, I'm glad that there's someone I can talk to if I need go. My aol s/n is XxOnlyxChancexX by the way. -huggles- 3 3 3

Mika Rieu: Hehe, so then I guess I succeeded in making the last chapter funny? XD

Naku: Um, the point of the story came from Al's death. I didn't have fun writing that because I adore Alphonse. Yes, Roy's hair is black but you can describe it as brunette. Also, in the summary I said that it was shounen-ai: Roy/Ed. If you don't like that pairing then I suggest that you pick a new story. This one will never become Roy/Riza and I personally cannot stand that pairing. Sorry.

Syao9: XD

RoyloserEdward: I'm glad you like my fic!

Lp794: Lol, yeah I hate it when people take forever to update. I try to update as often I can.

Trom Kehra: Hehe, I'm glad you like my summary. I had fun writing this chapter. Poor Roy. XD

Poison Fang : -Blinks- I'll continue or what … ? Lmao.

Kari-Chan: Lol, yeah I think that Roy and Ed are adorable together! I've been a yaoi fan-girl for a while but it was two of my friends' fault for making me like it! XD

Lunaticz: Hehe, thanks!

DarkFallenAngel: Lol, yesh I shall keep Roy and Ed sexy! I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner.

Shinigami Akumu: Lol, it's hard to keep track on what stories you review to, huh? XD It's all good.

DISCLAIMER: -Sniffles- I'm sorry Roy, Ed … but I don't own you! Hiromu Arakawa does!

Roy and Ed: -Gasps- How could you, PainfulxRecovery! We trusted you!

I'M SORRY! -runs off crying-

Chapter eight / Confronting

Roy sighed. "For the last time, I was not trying to rape you!"

"Heh, yeah right!" yelled Edward from the opposite side of the room.

"I was just trying to get your pants off!"

"I know! That's how you screw someone!"

Rubbing small circles on his temples, Mustang answered, "I was only doing that so you'd be more comfortable! Sleeping in tight, leather pants is probably one of the most awkward thing to be in."

"Oh sure, that's what they all say!" Ed retorted as he pulled his knees to his chest.

The two stayed there like that for a while. Ed on the chair by the desk and Roy still on the bed.

Resting his chin on his knees, the blonde stared at the colonel. He knew Roy wouldn't try to take advantage of him. It's just a little hard to believe since he is the biggest womanizer in history. Besides, it wasn't Ed's fault to be shaken up when he wakes up with his pants at his ankles and Roy hovering over him!

Looking across the room, he saw Roy sitting at the head of the bed in the same position as him: knees tucked to his chest while resting his chin laid upon his knees. His face was solemn as he stared off into space.

'Did I hurt his feelings that badly?'

Quietly getting off the chair, Edward walked over to the bed. When he reached his beloved's side, he sat down and gently kissed his cheek.

"I'm sorry, Roy. I guess I was a little freaked. I know you wouldn't do anything."

When the brunette wouldn't answer, the blonde pushed down the knees he was holding and replaced then with himself. Now sitting in Roy's lap, Ed wrapped his arms around his neck while lighting kissing the colonel. Then Mustang still wouldn't respond, Ed started trailing kissing down the older man's jaw line; ending at the crook of his neck.

Edward had known that was Roy's sensitive spot but only used it when necessary … now was necessary.

Placing butterfly kisses in the crook of Roy's neck, Ed smirked as he felt him begin to squirm.

"Are you going to talk to me? If you do I'll stop," the blonde muttered into Roy's skin.

The older man squirmed again before pulling Ed away from him. "Ed, stop! I was thinking."

Edward blinked. "About what?"

"… the Philosopher's Stone."

"W-what! Roy, don't you even suggest that we--"

"Do you want to bring your brother back?" Roy interrupted.

Wide eyed, Ed looked at the floor. "Oh course I do," he whispered. "But, I'm not willing to sacrifice other people's lives just to bring back one. No matter how important that one life may be. He's in a better place … and I've been able to accept it."

"Like Hell you have," Roy muttered.

"I stopped cutting didn't I!"

Mustang looks skeptical. "That's true. But I've only seen your arm. I wouldn't know if you did anything on your stomach or leg."

"I wouldn't do that," Ed cringed.

"How would I know? I didn't think you'd hurt yourself in the first place," the dark-haired man commented.

Staring down in his lap, a wave of guilt washed over the blonde. Ever since they had gotten together, he tried his hardest to stop himself from cutting … it didn't exactly work. The day when Roy first discovered his secret came flooding back into his mind.

'That was when we confessed to each other. He looked so scared and … hurt when he saw my arm. How long has it been since the last time? One, two months?'

Gently taking Ed's flesh arm into his hand, Roy moved his fingers slowly up and down the scars that was placed there so long ago; stopping at one that was larger than the rest. From the day Al had died-- no, dying means to pass away peacefully in your sleep. When Al was killed-- no, being killed means dying from a car crash. The day Al was murdered.

When Roy felt the young man stiffen, he looked up. Ed had moved his gaze to something out the window while he eyes shined with unshed tears.

Sighing, the raven-haired man pulled Ed into a warm embrace.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't of brought it up. I just can't stand to see you unhappy. If there was a way to bring him back without the Philosopher's Stone, I would of have done it a long time ago."

The blonde smiled slightly. "I know, Roy. You can't imagine how hard it is to know a way to bring someone back and yet you know you can't because of the affects." Tears began to trickle down his cheeks.

"I think I do know," Mustang murmured while wiping away the salty tears.

Staring into deep, midnight blue eye, Ed leaned upward; placing his lips onto the colonel's. Roy responded immediately, nibbling on the blonde's bottom lip. The second Edward opened his mouth, he slipped his tongue in.

When the kisses started to become more and more heated with passion and lust, Roy knew he had to stop. As much as he wanted to continue, he couldn't -and wouldn't- take advantage of the younger man.

"Ed," he breathed. "We can't. Your emotions are all over the place. I refuse to go all the way, when I know you're not ready."

After a moment, Ed nodded. Leaning his head on the colonel's chest, he let his exhaustion take over him.

Roy looked at the clock. 'It's 3:00am. Better get to bed. I can plan in the morning with Maes.'

Carefully laying Edward down, he turned off the light and laid down; pulling the chibi-alchemist into a loving embrace.

A/N: I know, shitty chapter. I had half of it done and that was about a month ago. x.x;;; I didn't exactly know what to put but I REALLY wanted to update. I'm just so tired I couldn't think of anything else to type and I probably have a lot of typos. I guess finals are really starting to get to me. Well, I hope you like it and I apologize again for not updating sooner. Please review!
