Chapter 7: Equivalent Exchange

Mustang suffered many injuries that day and Ed would grin whenever they passed. Hawkeye was keeping the Colonel under close surveillance so he had no chance to exact his revenge on Ed but after many failed attempts he decided to give up. It was a lot easier to simply tease Ed. It's what he did best.

Ed was gone from as usual on another mission for the Philosopher's Stone and returned empty-handed. So Mustang took the duty of bringing Ed's worst interrogation to life.

"So struck out on the Philosopher's Stone again, huh? How am I supposed to keep funding this wild goose chase. Money doesn't grow on tress there, chief!" Ed's eye twitched fiercely as Mustang came to his feet. "Huh? Ed? Where'd you go? Oh, there you are. I couldn't see you over my paperwork seeing as your short and all." As Mustang laughed Ed rose to his feet and got right in the Colonel's face.

"I told you to quit making fun of my height. Or my absence of height as you so eloquently put it. I'm still growing, you son of a bitch!" Mustang took this opportunity to fasten his lips onto Ed's with crushing force. The young alchemist's eyes shot open in surprise but then slowly drifted close as Mustang's tongue played over his own.

When they broke apart, Mustang smirked at him, seeing how easily he stopped Ed's rage. "So what now, Fullmetal?" Ed shook his head, unbelievably. "What now? You tell me, Colonel." Mustang sighed, shaking his head and smiling at Ed. He stuck his hand into his pocket and withdrew a set of keys and held them out to Ed. "For you."

"What. . ." Ed said, trembling fingers reaching for the keys. "Keys to my place," he replied, matter-of-factly. "Where's the equivalence in that," Ed asked, grinning. "Idiot. Equivalent exchange only applies to alchemy. Which we are not doing now."

Ed smiled, "But we will be. And soon." He smirked and kissed the Colonel back, long and deep.

Short I know but I don't know how to close this thing off. It seems people don't want it to close anyway. IMPORTANT: I only have one review for my other FMA fic. That makes me eternally sad.

Please review it or I may be persuaded to discontinue this one. Besides in chap 2, Mustang gets his greatest wish. Can you guess what it is?
