I'm so sorry it's been so long since I have updated! My computer has not been working at all so this was the only time that I have had to complete this chapter. Hope you enjoy!
I Need You
"Roy, there's a new murderer inEast City," Hawkeye said, as soon as he walked in the front door.
The rubbed his eyes tiredly.
Of course there is! It's because I'm curses and nothing else has gone right this week!
"Shall I go collect Edward, Breda, Havoc, and Fuery, sir?"
"Umm... yeah. And could you also get Maes on the phone for me?"
Riza left to do the tasks at hand and Roy walked to his office slowly.
Ten minutes later, everyone had piled into the Colonel's for a breifing on the new murderer. Hawkeye read the details from a manila folder.
"Are there any connections to the people being killed and buildings being destroyed?" Roy asked.
"Not that we can tell. It just seems random." Hawkeye handed the folder to him. "And Leiutnent Colonel Hughes is on the phone."
"Thank you, Riza. I will let all of you know your positions by the end of the week.You are all dismissed." He waited until everyone had left before picking up the phone. "Maes?"
"Well, it's abouit time, Roy. I was just about to hang up," came from the other end.
"Glad to hear from you, too. So, how's the family?"
Oh, crap. What have I just done?
"Elysia's just great! She had her first day of preschool last week and now have pictures of her first steps into the preschool, her first letters, her first recess-"
"Well. it sounds like you're surviving over there," Mustang butt in. He couldn't take it anymore. The fast-talking man was giving him a migrane. "I'm going to assume you've heard about the new mass murderer?"
A sigh. "Yes, I've heard. I should be in town by tomorrow evening along with Major Armstrong."
"Good. We need all the help we can get."
After a few more comments were exchangedm the two men hung up. Roy turned back to his desk and was staring at the Christmas picture when there was a knock at the door. "Yes?"
The elder Elric stepped in, looking extreemely pissed. Before the colonel could protest, Ed had already thundered up to the desk and was face- to- face with Roy. "What the hell door do you mean by us getting our posts by the end of the week! People are dying now?"
The dark haired man wasn't paying attention to the words of the teen, but of the closeness of him.
If I only moved a little closer, I would be kissing him...
Roy suddenly shot out of his chair and made his way quickly to the other side of the room, shocking Edward. Mustang closed his eyes and leaned his forehead on the bookshelf.
I cannot be thinking these things. He is a guy and I'm a guy. Think of Riza... Riza...
But I imagine wouldn't come to him. The details were fuzzy.
What color are her eyes again? Brown? Green?
Just let your mind go blank, the crazier part of him recomended. Don;t think of anyhting. You need to relax.
The taller man breathed through his nose, then out through his mouth. It helped a little. What didn't help was the new image. Edward. Only his details were clear, down to the last strand of silky hair.
No, no, no, no, no! I'm in love with Riza Hawkeye, not Edward Elric!
Ah... so you are in love with him? cut in the annoying part of his thoughts.
I... I am in love with Edward. Roy opened his eyes. I can't believe it, but I'm in love with Ed. But I can't What about Riza?What About Edward? I don't even know if he likesme. Dammit! Why does this all have to be so complicated? He punched the bookshelf in frustration, sending a few books to the floor. The Flame Alchemist didn't bother to pick them up.
"Mustang...?" Edward ventured.
"I hate you," Roy whispered.
"What?"
"I hate you! I hate this!" Mustang turned to the shorter male, his face red with anger and frustration.
Fullmetal was hurt. "What? Why do you hate me?"
"Why? Why? You want to know why I hate you so much?" Roy took two long strides so he was right up to Ed. He cupped the confused teen's face in his hands, and kissed him, full on the mouth, not holding back.
When they broke for air, the blonde was in a state of shock.
Holy shit... Mustang juust kissed me!
"That's why I hate you so much. I'm supposed to be in love with Riza. But insteadof her; I'm kissing and dreaming of you! I hate you for making me fall in love wih you!"
Another wave of shock coursed through Ed's body.
Holy shit... Mustang just told me that he loved me!
"I hate felling so mixed up and confused. I like being in control, but when you're around, it's like I've become an infant and need you to be there for me." He stared at the silent male. He said nothing. Roy threw up his hands. "Is any of this sinking in!"
"Mustang..." Edward's voice cracked. "I don't know how I can help you. This is something that you need to figure out for yourself." He began to back toward the door. "I can't help you with this one."
