It was raining outside. Roy Mustang was sitting at his desk, doing, you guessed it, paperwork. He paused as lighting light up the dark afternoon sky, followed by the dull boom of thunder.

What a miserable day, Edward was scheduled to arrive back in town with his brother today, and because of this damn weather, and with his luck, they would probably be delayed for another two weeks. Thinking miserable thoughts, the colonel laid his head down on his desk and let out a long miserable sigh.

"Is anything wrong sir?" lieutenant Hawkeye stood in front of his desk looking at him with a small bit of what could be concern. "You aren't doing your paperwork…"

Of course, typical Hawkeye, just typical, you don't care that my heart is tearing in two because that damn brat is out of town, all you care about is paperwork, Roy looked up at her and waved a hand in a uncaring sort of way.

"Of course not, why would it be?"

"Well, I don't know, you usually don't go moping around the office unless you have a hangover or are pining after someone." At this Roy snapped to attention.

"How would you know that?" he demanded.

"Well, forgive my insubordination, but it seems to me that you have been out of sorts ever since Fullmetal left to visit Risinbull ((sorry, I dunno how to spell it!))" she looked at him, "I think you miss him."

"What nonsense are you spitting out now, Lieutenant?" Roy began to stack the papers, trying to keep the red from spreading across his face.

"Of course, sir." She looked taken aback, "Well, then, I was also sent to inform you that the Elrics' train has been delayed for two days."

"W-what? I mean, yes, of course, with this weather and all…" Mustang faltered, feeling as though his heart had just fallen into the deep chasm of despair and bad feelings, and evil monkeys, and in Havoc's case, rubber ducks, "If that will be all Lieutenant."

"Yes sir!" Riza saluted and walked out the door, leaving Mustang alone his office of despair.

Seeing that she had gone, Mustang pulled out a drawer in his desk, revealing a picture of his favorite alchemist and a small present wrapped in gold paper and a red bow. He got up and turned off the lights in his office and walked back to his desk, the only light in the room was from the gloomy gray clouds outside, fitting his mood perfectly. Sighing dejectedly, he pulled both out and set them on the edge of his desk, then buried his head in his arms. Dammit, you will NOT cry, you are a ranking military leader, looked up to by hundreds. You will not be reduced to tears because you haven't seen him for three weeks.

But deep down inside, he knew it wasn't true, no matter how much he told himself he wasn't going to, he cried. The tears were fast and few, but the ache was there, burning in his throat, heating up his face. His heart felt like it was breaking in two, he couldn't bear to not see him for two more days. Two days doesn't seem like it would be much to you or me, but to Roy, it was going to be a hellish nightmare.

Roy sat up, dried his eyes on his sleeve, and looked out the window, watching the raindrops as they condensed on the windowpane then trickled down, and felt the tears returning. This always happens, I get into a relationship and always end up hurting like this, you think I would learn, but no, I have no one to blame but myself.

He was so caught up thinking his miserable thoughts that he didn't notice a certain alchemist come in and lock the door. What he did notice though, was the gloved hand that lifted his chin up, forcing him to look into bright amber orbs that danced with happiness.

"Ed, but I thought…" but he was shushed as the younger alchemist put a finger to Roy's lips.

"What's this, bastard-sama? Were you crying?" he wiped away the liquid still pouring from Mustang's eyes and kissed him softly on the mouth.

Roy's heart leaped, and he pulled Ed onto his lap, and hugged him tight. His eyes met Ed's and in a sudden move of boldness, Edward leaned forward and took Roy's mouth in his, letting his tongue trace over the surprised colonel's. Roy smiled softly, and kissed him back, letting his hands wander up the younger man's shirt, hearing Ed giggle softly, and feeling a great sense of completeness. Then there was a knock at the door, and Riza's voice.

"Sir, I have more paperwork for you." She called.

"Not now, Lieutenant, Can't you see I'm busy?"
