Roy: That's right.

Me: Thanks guys.

"So brother, did you make up with Roy then?" asked quietly, as his brother made his way back into the room at three o'clock in morning. The disheveled boy just grinned and fell into bed with a happy sigh. "I'll take that as a yes." Ed just grunted and fell asleep. Al smiled to himself and let himself fall into a trance.

The morning rose bright and clear, Ed stirred slightly but pulled the covers around him even more tightly. He felt something warm and wet touch his neck. He swatted at whatever it was and was rewarded with a yelp.

"Edward that hurt!" exclaimed. Ed looked up to see Roy bending over him, holding the back of his head. Ed sat up and took the Colonel in his arms.

"Sorry. I didn't know it was you." apologized frantically. Roy just smiled and kissed the blonde.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt that much." said, trying not to laugh.

"Are you sure?" asked. Roy nodded.

"It was nothing. I will be fine." said quietly. "I thought we could get breakfast."

"Breakfast sounds great." replied enthusiastically. Roy smiled.

"Then go ahead and get dressed. I picked up the last of your uniforms this morning. I put them on your desk." said.

"Why exactly do I have to wear those stupid things?" muttered. Roy looked at him with a sinister smile.

"Because, I just love a man in uniform. I'll wait for you outside." said before leaving the blonde alone in the room.

"Man. I wonder where Al went?" wondered suddenly. "I better get dressed." He got out of bed and stripped down, pulling a fresh uniform off the desk and dressing. As he picked the rumpled clothes off the floor something fell out of the pocket of the jacket. A shiny, soft gold ribbon. "Oh yeah. I forgot about that." He brushed and re-braided his hair and tied it off with the ribbon, smiling.

Roy was waiting for him outside just like he promised. He smiled and lead the blonde outside to a car he had waiting. As usual it was one of the black military cars, Ed doubted Roy owned one of his own.

"Well then where to?" asked. Ed shrugged.

"Someplace with good food." replied. Roy just smiled and they got in the car. He gave some instructions to the driver and leaned back into the seat. As far as Ed could tell, the man had fallen asleep. "I knew it was too early to get up." muttered under his breath. The Colonel said nothing so Ed fell back into the seat and settled down for a nap. Almost immediately he felt someone put their arms around him, he opened one eye to see Roy snuggled up to him. He sighed and went back to his nap.

"Colonel we have arrived." said from the front seat.

"Right. Edward?" said quietly. Ed woke up and stretched out as they climbed out of the car. They had parked in front of a small café. "This place has good waffles." Ed nodded and they walked in together. The café was fairly empty, only a couple tables had customers. Roy took a seat at one of the empty tables, gesturing for Ed to do the same.

A young woman walked over to their table with a smile and a pair of menus. "What can I get you to drink?" asked politely.

"Water is fine, and we'll both have the number three." replied with a smile. She smiled back and nodded, walking off to fill the order.

"Hey, I didn't get to look at the menus!" protested.

"Just trust me on this one." replied with a smirk. Ed fumed for awhile in his seat while they waited for breakfast. "Ah here we are." The waitress brought out a pitcher of water, tow cups and two steaming plates of waffles. Waffles topped with strawberries, whipped cream and powdered sugar. Edward's eyes grew to the size of saucers as he salivated over the food. "Trust me now?" asked. Ed nodded and dove into his waffles with a fork and a furious appetite. Roy grinned and started in on his waffles as well.

Breakfast was a quiet affair, the only noise coming from Ed as he vacuumed up the last crumbs of his waffles. Roy finished off his as well, still smiling at his lover. Wd looked up at the man suspiciously but said nothing as he finished his plate and downed the glass of water Roy had poured for him. "So what do you want to do now?" asked as Ed finished the water. Ed shrugged and set down his class.

"I don't know. What do we usually do in our free time?" said, not really thinking about anything but the food he had just eaten. Roy leaned over the table and kissed Ed's cheek. He scooted his chair closer and whispered into the blonde's ear. Ed blushed and let the man lead him back to the car. Roy gave more instructions to the driver and they headed to Roy's quarters.

"See, I told you I had everything we needed." said with a smile. "Ready?" Ed nodded.

"Just don't cry when I beat you." said with a sinister smile.

"Ha, like you could beat me twice." laughed. He opened the box on the table and started pulling out everything they needed. "Black or white?" asked.

"White." said grabbing it from Roy. "I want to go first." Roy smiled and they set up the chess board. "I am going to beat you again. That will take my winning streak up to five."

"Chess is the only place you can beat me Ed." said, smirking. Ed just glared at him and made his first move.

Four hours later. . .

"Oh yeah! I win again!" shouted. Roy pouted and glared at the now dancing Ed.

"Yeah yeah yeah." muttered. Ed looked over at him with a smile.

"You know what that means. . ." said, sitting on Roy's lap. Roy groaned and kissed his lover before shooing him away so he could stand.

"Alright alright you'll get your prize." said resignedly. "Let's go." he pulled Edward out of the living room and through one of the doors that lead out of it.

"Oh yes! That is so good." exclaimed after a few minutes. "Ooh, I want more! More more!"

"I don't have anymore!" shouted back.

"Aww man. But that was really good cake." said quietly.

"Next time don't eat the whole thing." muttered under his breath. Ed frowned.

"Bastard." muttered. Roy arched one eyebrow and leaned in close to Edward.

"Really, how about we see just how much of a bastard I can be?" said archly. Ed smiled slightly and followed the other man out of the room.

"Bastard." whispered, snuggling closer to Roy. Roy smirked and held his lover carefully in his arms. "Can we stay like this?"

"Maybe, just let me make a call." said, grabbing the phone from his nightstand.

"Ok." said, grabbing his lover even closer. The blonde's hair was loose from it's usual braid, the ribbon he had used to tie it off lost somewhere in the sheets. Roy petted Ed's hair as he talked to the person on the other end. He hung up after a few minutes.

"Looks like they don't need me today." said. Ed smiled.

"Good, because I do."said quietly. Roy just smirked again and kissed the nape of Ed's neck. Ed looked up at him. "I really do love you."

"I love you too." said, pulling the blonde into his lap. "I really do."

They spent the day mostly in bed, until if course Ed got hungry again. The two of the hadn't had much time to spend alone with each other for some time, which was what had started their fight in the first place. Roy played with Ed's hair as they lounged in bed, an empty box from the food they had ordered lying on the floor nearby.

"Roy?" queried.

"What is it Edward?" asked quietly. Edward looked up at him

"Do you really have to leave after Christmas?" asked. Roy sighed and hugged his lover.

"Yes, they need me there, and you have to start making progress on your own search." replied after a moment.

"I guess." said morosely, a frown on his face.

"Don't frown love." said, turning Edward to face him. "I will never be far from you." He kissed Edward firmly and turned off the lights.

Christmas morning broke snowy and overcast. Edward, Al, Roy and Winry gathered round the tree in Roy's quarters. He passed around gifts that he and Edward and put under the tree last night. "One for Al, one for Winry, one for me . . ." said as he passed them around. "Another for Edward and another for Winry." Once every gift was open they had waffles for breakfast. Ed grinned at the waffles, giving Roy a knowing look.

"I love waffles!" said quietly. "But they taste better with strawberries." Roy smiled.

"There out of season Edward." said. Handing the syrup to Roy. "Although I suppose you could get some dried ones." She handed the powdered sugar to Ed.

"They come canned too." he replied, grinning at Winry. "But I wish they were in season." Roy nodded.

"Yes that would be nice. Just be grateful I have syrup." said. Ed glared at him.

"Hmph, grateful my ass."muttered. "Speaking of syrup, could you pass it to me?" Roy smirked.

"What'll you give me for it?" asked arching one eyebrow at Edward, still smirking. Edward gave him a smirk of his own. Suddenly, Roy's face turned red and he quietly turned over the syrup to Ed. "Fair enough." The others looked at them quizzically but didn't ask. Under the table Ed's hand rested on Roy's thigh. Edward just grinned and poured the syrup over his waffles. Winry shook her head at the two of them and started on her own waffles, while Al just looked confused.

"I already told you Edward, this is my job. I have to go." said, his back turned to his pouting blonde lover as he straightened his uniform in front of the mirror. "There is nothing either of us can do. It's only a year you know."

"I know, but. . ." mumbled, staring at the floor. Roy turned around and knelt down in front of Edward who was sitting on the bed. He took Edward's hands into his and kissed his lover carefully on the lips.

"Don't worry about me Edward, I can take care of myself you know." said, hugging Edward.

"I know, it's just really hard to let you go. I'll miss you. I already miss you." said quietly.

"It will be nothing, I'll be back before you know it." Ed bit his lip and stood up suddenly, Roy following him. He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Roy.

"Please have this." said holding out a small box. Roy took the box from Ed and opened it carefully. Inside was a small screw attached to a silver chain, it was inscribed: Never Forget.

"Is this from. . . your automail?" asked quietly. Edward nodded. Roy put the necklace on and hugged Edward tightly.

"I wanted you to have a part of me that you could take with you wherever you go." said quietly. Roy smiled and wiped the tears that were starting to form on Edward's cheeks.

"You will always be with me. No matter what." He kissed Edward one last time and walked out of the room, and out of the building. Edward stood there for a moment before rushing after Roy, who was just getting into the car.

"Wait!" shouted. He ran up to Roy and kissed him fiercely. "Be careful." Roy nodded and got into the car. They waved at each other until the car was out of sight.
