Nii-san, Can I Spend a Day with You?

Fullmetal-Alchemist10: This chapter took me forever to write... I'm sorry in advance for it being huge... I thought I could do it all in one part, I did, but it's freaking huge! There is very slight language, but nothing bad at all... That is why it's rated 'T' ! Just in case some bad word slips... anyway, sorry for the delay, I'm afraid for my safety, I might have evil penguin armies and such after me soon...

Disclaimer: I don't own the wonderful show called Fullmetal Alchemist! I don't own the manga either! I don't own any of the stores mentioned here except for Loincloth Emporium! Woo!

It was six o'clock in the morning and Ed's alarm clock was going off. "Mehhh… snarfle garfle, damn alarm clock…" Ed was groaning when he was woken up from his very nice dream with Roy in it… let's stop there.

Al got up immediately since he technically didn't even have to sleep. He just sleeps to pass the time when everyone else is sleeping. "Snarffle garffle? What's that?"

Ed just groaned as a reply and smashed his clock to bits with his automail arm. Then, he rolled over and went back to sleep. Al walked over to Ed and started shaking him gently to wake him up. "Nii-san, get up. You have to go to work."

Ed just mumbled random stuff and sat up. He walked over to his dresser and put his clothes on. "Nii-san, you put your shirt on backwards."

He tried to look down to see what he did wrong and accidentally got a mouthful of collar. Ed unclasped his shirt, turned it around, and put it back on. As Ed transmutes his alarm clock back to normal, Al asked, "Nii-san, can I spend a day with you?"

"Sure. Do you want to just come along with me to work, or do you want me to take a day off tomorrow and go do whatever?" Ed walked over to the cabinet to see if there was anything he could have for breakfast. There was a box of Pipsqueak Crunchies in the cabinet.

"Umm… Let's do it tomorrow, going to work with you would be boring." Al was watching Ed eat the bowl of cereal so quick, that it made him sick. Al looked away as Ed was emptying the contents of his stomach onto the floor. "Nii-san, I know you're in a hurry, but you shouldn't make yourself sick…"

After Ed was done, he said, "Yeah, well, I'm going to be late for work!" Ed ran out the door. "Bye, Al!"

"Wow, Al really doesn't know when I go to work, I'm going an hour early and he didn't notice," Ed thought wile walking down to Roy's office. When Ed got to Roy's office, he heard Roy talking to Riza.

"You have to do your paperwork!" Riza was yelling at Roy… again.

"But I don't want to! Paperwork is so boring!"

"You were on vacation for three days! You have to get back to work!" Ed heard a gunshot, then Roy whimpering.

Riza went to the door to leave. Ed was standing outside the door and went in as Riza was leaving.

When Ed go into the room, he saw Roy in the corner with his hands over his head, whimpering. There was a bullet hole in the wall above him. "S-scary…"

"Didn't feel like doing paperwork, huh?" Ed put his hands on his hips.

Roy took his hands off of his head and said, "No, not really, but Hawkeye is in a really bad mood today. She usually doesn't shoot at me… just threatens."

"Well, I'm taking the day off tomorrow! I'm spending a day with Al." Ed then offered a hand to help Roy up.

Roy took his hand and got up. "Thanks. Do you have to go? I don't want to be shot! If you leave for a day, I might die!"

Ed felt truly sorry for Roy. "I'm so sorry! I haven't been spending enough time with Al, though. I don't want him to think I ditched him for you! I have to be a good brother."

Roy sat behind his desk and offered Ed the chair on the other side of the desk. Ed sat, and Roy said, "Yeah, you're right. I don't have any sibling, so I really wouldn't know. By the way, here's your mission." Roy handed Ed a folder.

Ed looked in the folder, then said, "Envy's confusing people again?"

"Yes, this time he's confusing military personnel by turning into Gran. They think he came back from the dead to haunt them. Also, why did you come here so early?" Roy leaned forward on his desk and rested his head on his hands.

"Because I wanted to see you…" Ed got up, walked over to Roy and swiftly kissed him on the cheek. "See ya!" Ed left the room, with Roy stupidly sitting there with his hand on the spot where Ed kissed him.

The mission was pretty ordinary. Ed yelled at Envy, and Envy yelled at Ed. Ed walked out with a black eye because he called Envy a girl.

After that, Ed went home and went to bed.

The Next Day

Ed was furiously poked away by Al. "Nii-san! Get up! It's seven o'clock! Let's go!"

Ed groaned and mumbled, "Five more minutes…"

"Fine." Al patiently waited over Ed for five minutes for him to wake up. As soon as five minutes passed, Al poked Ed again. "Okay, nii-san! It's been five minutes! Go take a shower and get dressed!"

Al started shaking Ed since there was no response from him. Ed's head just flopped around with a tired, dazed look on his face. Then he started groaning, "O-o-okay-y-y… s-s-stop-p-p sh-sha-a-aking-g-g-g-g m-m-m-me-e-e…"

"Oops! Sorry!" Al stopped shaking Ed so that he could get ready.

After Ed was done showering and getting dressed, he asked Al, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Hmmm… first we can go shopping, then we can go fishing, then we can visit Winry, and then…"

Ed cut him off by saying, "Ahh! Too much stuff! We have only one day, you know. Pick one or two things!"

"Oh, erm… let's go shopping first. I need a few new loincloths, and then we can get a cat!" Al cheered.

"No kitty. I can get you a plush kitty if you want."

Al was disappointed. "Aww… I wanted a really kitty, and I already have a kitty plush."

"Start a collection. Now let's go!" Ed started to walk out, and Al followed behind.

"Wow, where did this giant building that says 'Mall' on it come from?" Ed was in awe and confused at the same time.

"I dunno, but I'm sure it'll have everything we need."

Ed shrugged and walked in. he looked at the map to see where Al could buy loincloths. "Here, Al. There's a store called 'Loincloth Emporium'… that's a funny name…" Ed pointed at the store on the map.

"Okay, let's go!" Al started walking towards the store.

Ed followed, looking around at the stores at the same time. He saw a Spencer's and decided he would go into it later… maybe.

When they got to the store, they were the only ones in there, besides the cashier. The cashier saw Al and started to hide behind the desk, afraid of the seven and a half foot tall armor in the store. "Nii-san, did you find any purple ones?"

"No, but I found pink. You want that?" Ed held it up, laughing a little. It was about half the size of Ed's whole body.

"No! I don't want pink!" Al took the loincloth Ed was holding and threw it back at his face. Al continued to search while Ed was being stupid and holding up girly looking ones. "Here's purple! Let's buy it and go!"

Ed took the two loincloths Al was holding and bought them. "Where do you want to go now?" Then Ed's stomach growled.

"Looks like you're hungry. Let's go eat… well, you go eat." They found the food court pretty easily, and Ed got some teriyaki chicken.

"I want to go into my own stores for about half an hour. You can look around and get whatever you want. Here's $40." Ed handed Al the money and Al put it in the pouch on his leg.

"Okay, I'll see you later." Al got up and headed towards Hot Topic for some reason.

"Well, I guess I'll go to Spencer's, and then go to Victoria's Secret…" Ed thought, getting up and throwing out his garbage.

Ed headed to Spencer's, walked in, saw a few things in the back of the store, was grossed out, and left. "Eww… I'm never going in there again… too many references to sex…"

He walked into Victoria's Secret, and he was Roy in there looking at thongs. Ed scared the crap out of him. "Hey, Colonel! Shouldn't you be at work?"

"Ahh! I wasn't looking at those! Well, actually, I was, but it's for Riza's birthday present!" Roy was talking really fast, with his voice getting higher and higher as he talked.

"Sure… you don't get girls underwear for their birthday. Especially Riza. I don't even want to know what you were really doing." Ed walked over to the night gowns.

"What, are you buying yourself new pajamas?" Roy stood next to Ed.

"No, Winry's birthday is in a week. I have to get her something. I assume Al's getting her something, also." Ed continued to search the rack as Al passed by the store. He saw Ed with Roy, in Victoria's Secret, looking at nightgowns. He knew he didn't want to know what was going on.

"Ed, I think your brother just walked pass. He looked shocked. You should go find him and tell him what was really happening or he'll tell Winry some crazy story…"

"Great… well, what do you think of this?" Ed held up a pink tank top and short set. "I didn't find any good nightgowns, but I saw this and I thought she would like it."

Roy mumbled to himself, "It would look better on you…"

"What was that?"

Roy sweat dropped. "Nothing! I think it's nice. Do you think you could find a shirt with a wrench on it and wrench print on the shorts? I think she'll love that!" Roy laughed.

"As a matter of fact, there are." Roy stopped laughing as Ed held up exactly what Roy had described. The shorts had a pink background and the shirt was white.

"I was just joking, but I think she'll love it. Go buy it so that we can go." Ed went up to the cash register and Roy followed.

"Now, I have to find Al… he shouldn't be too hard to fine." Ed and Roy were searching around until Ed found him in the pet store, petting the cats.

Al heard someone behind him and turned around. "Hi, nii-san. Hello, Colonel."

"Hi. Did you get a present for Winry? Her birthday's in a week." Ed held up the Victoria's Secret bag. "By the way, I wasn't in there to buy stuff for myself. It was to buy some pajamas for Winry. I had found Roy earlier and he was helping me look."

"Oh, good. I was pretty freaked out when I saw you with Roy in that store." Al slapped himself in the head. "I completely forgot that Winry's birthday's next week! What do you think I should get her?"

"I dunno, but you better find something quick." Ed noticed Al had a Hot Topic bag. "What did you get from there?"

"Oh! I got this cute keychain of me. I was annoyed because it said it was a robot keychain. Although, I'm not sure what a robot it… well, I guess I'll get her something from Abercrombie & Fitch…" Al headed towards the store, leaving Roy and Ed alone.

"So what should we do now, while your brother is looking for a present?" Roy asked Ed.

"You know, you never answered why you weren't at work today… How'd you get out alive?"

Roy was thinking, "I was stalking you," but he said, "I felt like taking another day off. Riza shot at me a few times, and she grazed my arm…" Roy lifted up his sleeve to show a bandage.

Ed laughed, and then said, "I'm kind of hungry. Let's get something to eat!"

"No, I saw you eating like an hour ago. No food for you."

"Awww… I need pants… we have to go over to the leather store." Ed headed towards the leather store and Roy followed.

"What size are you? I could help you," Roy asked.

"I'm a size 32…" Ed was searching through the rack.

"Wow… that's really… small…" Roy prepared himself for the spazing.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PINT-SIZED SHRIMP?" Ed automatically spazed without thinking, and accidentally knocked over a clothes rack. It hit a huge biker guy.

Roy quickly ran over and put the rack upright with the giant guy leering at him. Everyone was staring at Ed and Roy wondering what had happened. Ed went back to normal, found some pants, paid for them, and left. He forgot about Roy was getting death rays from just about everyone in the store.

Roy had finally edged out of the store, and he found Ed at the food court eating French fries. "You eat way too much. I'm surprised you don't weigh 300 pounds."

"I exercise everyday, so I need to eat a lot. Where were you?"

"Avoiding being killed by bikers because you spazed." Roy showed a huge bruise on his arm. "I'm lucky I came out with only a bruise on my arm."

Al finally came out of the store with a bag filled with clothes. "Geez, Al, how much did you get her?"

"Is this too much? Then again, I also got you some clothes…" Al showed Ed a shirt that looked skin-tight for Ed. He had gotten Winry a blue tube top and a belt.

"Al, this shirt looks really tight… my chest might be constricted from wearing it…" Ed looked through the bag some more and saw some plain normal jeans. "I like the pants, though. I think Winry will like the shirt." Ed showed Roy the pants, then threw them into the bag.

Roy whispered to Ed, "I think you would look very nice in that shirt…" Then smiled, showing that he was joking.

But Ed yelled, "Perv!" anyway.

Ed looked at his watch and said, "It's pretty late, Al. I don't think we'll be able to do anything else. Let's go home."

Roy drove them home since it was getting dark. Al just barely fit in the car, and Ed sat in the front since he would have been impaled by a spike on Al's shoulder.

They went back to their apartments. While they were walking back, Roy slipped his hand into Ed's while they were walking behind Al. Roy almost got killed by Riza when he got to the door of his apartment.

When Ed and Al got into their apartment, Ed said, "Next week you should go visit Winry. I won't be able to come because I've missed enough work."

"Okay. I'll call her tomorrow. It's too late now. In fact, you should be getting ready for bed." Then Al took some boxers out of the Abercrombie & Fitch bag and threw them at Ed. "I got these for you, also."

Ed caught them. "Uhh… thanks… I guess I'll sleep in these…" Ed went into the bathroom, changed, came out, and went to bed.

Fullmetal-Alchemist10: Awww... Ed kissed Roy on the cheek! Anyway, I'm sorry once again for the long delay... and for the chapter being huge... I don't know what I'm going to do for the next chapter, maybe just Ed doing something stupid at work... I know that a few chapters later it'll be Al going to Winry's for her birthday!

I think people are starting to hate me... I only had two reviews for the long time that I didn't post for... (cries)

Mookie and Moofie: Woo! Have fun with that!

AnimeDutchess: I dunno, I think having Al and Winry there was better instead of Riza or the Furher... I don't like the Furher anyway... he scares me with his eyepatch of doom... (I'm thinking of stuff that happens at the end... yes I saw the whole anime)... The Corpse Bride was awesome! It was a musical, which I didn't expect, but it was good all the same...
