Chapter 6- Now who calls the shots?

Ed was plastered to the spot, wide eyed and a bit frightened. What the hell did he just say! And he didn't understand any more when the Colonel burst out laughing, fell backwards and almost bumped into the couple behind them. He stood back up, shrugging it off as he did so, and tried to regain his breath.

"That look on your face! That's just... Priceless!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ed half shouted, causing half the room to stare at them again. It took a minute or so, but Roy finally calmed down, and the people staring at them turned their gaze instead to their plates. "Well!"

"I was joking, Fullmetal. Learn to take a joke." What a liar. Ed saw this as a great opportunity to get some much needed revenge, and smirked as he set his plan into motion.

"So, if you're joking, you'll ask her out, right?" Roy looked at him with a tiny bit of fear in his eyes. Ed's smile only grew larger when he saw the girl walking across the room, back towards them, and he pointed her out. "That one, right there. No big deal, right?"

"Uh... Ed, I don't know her."

"Isn't that the point of asking people out, getting to know them? If you're such a ladies' man, let's see you ask her out! Come on!"

"No."

"It's either her or Riza Hawkeye... Otherwise I'm gonna walk around Headquarters telling everyone you're gay." Roy sighed, and looked at Ed with an almost serious expression. More than that, it was slightly threatening.

"I'll take my chances with her," Roy said, depressed like. His eyes darted to the girl coming towards them with ever growing speed. "Excuse me, miss." She looked at Roy with a slight smile. Great, she was falling for him, Ed thought. All he had to do was embarass Roy in front of her, but little did he know his own plan was about to completely turn around on him.

"Yes?"

"Would you be free on any night of the week?" Ed saw the smile on her face, and knew it was working, until... "My friend here needs to find himself a girlfriend, and I think you two would be perfect for each other."

Fuck. Never saw that one coming.

"Wait a min..." Ed began to blurt, but didn't get very far. The blonde had taken one look at him, and imediately spoke her answer. Roy smirked at it.

"Oh, I'd love to!" Ed's eyes bulged. He stared angrily at Mustang, who shrugged and smiled. "We could go somewhere as soon as I get off work! That's at about seven-thirty! How about that? Is that okay? You are the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, aren't you!" So that was why.

"Yes..." Ed answered quietly. "And I'd be..." Roy looked at him. "More than happy to be your escort tonight."

"Ooh! That's wonderful! By the way, my name is Christa!" She turned and walked off, probably with a bigger smile plastered to her face now than all night.

"Thanks a lot."

"No problem."

A/N- SHORT BUT I UPDATED! YAY FOR AN UPDATE! I promise this is still a yaoi! Don't worry... There's an evil twist.
