A/N: Have no fear! There ARE other pairings in this besides Roy x Ed! XD Please read and review!

6. Roy x Armstrong – Secrets

Armstrong had barged into Roy's office early one Monday morning, a look of urgency on his strong-jawed face. The pink sparkles orbiting around his head were twinkling and dancing much faster than usual, looking as if they were about to explode. Armstrong had entered the office without a shirt on – which was nothing unusual for him; his shirt was known to rip off at the oddest of times anyway – and once inside, embraced the Flame Alchemist and pulled him into a strong bear hug.

Roy was taken completely by surprise at the incident, his dark eyes expanding and face turning a strange purple color due to the two massive meat slabs Armstrong called arms locked around his neck. It took him a while to get his bearings and finally hear just what Major Armstrong was saying.

"Colonel Mustang, I love you! I cannot keep this secret any longer!"

Roy wriggled – with much difficulty – out of Armstrong's tight hug, feeling slightly naked afterward. The weight of his muscles was gone, and during his attempted assassination – known to Armstrong as a loving, tender hug – Roy found himself actually liking Major Armstrong's close companionship.

Colonel Mustang grinned, looking up at Armstrong's dazzling and twinkling eyes. "Looks like keeping secrets is something that hasn't been passed down the Armstrong line for generations, huh, Major?"

Armstrong looked down, almost shameful at his family line's inability to keep secrets. Sighing, he answered softly, "No, sir. It isn't."

Reviewer Responses!

Mint Pizza Queen: Aw, thank you. I have a super-dooper hard time coming up with chapter titles (I don't know why I don't don't stick to names like "Chapter One", etc.), so thanks for that. Glad to see SOMEONE pays attention to titles… n.n Yep! Smarty-pants Ed, tricks Roy-chan out of the Trix… heheh… And yep, there is more angst on the way, though I do have to say I have more "cutesy/funny" drabbles than angsty ones, but I'll work on that. Thanks very much for the review!

Kiyuu-Chan:looks at previous chapters: Huh, you're right. Most of 'em ARE Roy x Ed. Sorry about that! I do promise that there ARE other pairings (like this one), so don't lose faith in me here! I just have an incurable obsession for Roy x Ed, and I guess it shows, huh? But thanks for the pairings suggestions. I actully have no Ed x Al ones (which is weird, 'cuz I'm a shipper of that… :sweatdrop:)… Again, thanks for the review!

Mog Knight: Thanks much! No problem for the dedication – you just inspired me to post that chapter early. I think that was actually the original "Chapter 17" or something like that… -- Great, now I'm going to have to do a Frosted Flakes themed drabble now… I'll work on that. XD Thanks for the review!

Fading Wind: Well, I've only had Cookie Crisp with orange juice, and I was probably about eight years old, so I'm not sure if it would really taste that great… :sweatdrop: Lol, yay, no one cares about the OOC-ness! After spending a lot of time at GAFF and reading all of the "anti-canon and OOC-ness is BAD!" things, I've been getting scared, since a lot of what I write is OOC… o.o Anyway, thanks for the review!
