Chapter seven
StIP: ... I have a bad case of writers block. Oh and to you readers, I have a very legiable reason as to why I haven't updated. It is called computer virus. My computer went all psychotic on me, and then my dad killed it so I've been without a computer for a long time. Thank you so much to those of you who reviewed. :sparkly eyes: You give me a reason to continue, and for this I am in your debt, and I will make up for that by writing this story and not quitting it!
... it's a pain to put up this story
SD: Then why do you do it?
StIP: Because I have no life
SD: Well put, Disclaimer guy
StIP: Sorry, he's on vacation, so Edward would you do the honors
Ed::grumbling: Sparky doesn't own FullMetal Alchemist or the other characters only Sei.
-chapter begins-
Looking at her skeptically he drank the glass. Since he liked the way the one tasted he decided to have a few more. Sei came back about ten minutes later looking fresh, and happy. Sitting down she carefully examined Ed who was grinning like a fool.
"What's got into you?" Sei asked poking Ed. He laughed as he pulled her into a deep kiss. This startled Sei so much she nearly jumped out of her skin. When he let go she was gasping for air. "What the hell?" she murmured eyeing Ed carefully.
"Sei, I really do like you." Ed murmured holding up his glass of coke, he took another swig of it and grinned. Sei glanced at Rae who was grinning from ear to ear, then she glanced at the coke.
"Ed, may I try some of your drink?" Sei asked politely. Ed smiled, handing the glass over. Sei carefully sniffed the glass, then gently tilted the glass sipping only a little bit. After a few seconds her eyes widened. "RAE! Please tell me you didn't give Ed some Coke and Rum?"
Rae began to laugh maniacally, Sei sweat dropped. "YES! I, RAE KUROHYOU, HAVE GOTTEN EDWARD ELRIC, THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, DRUNK!" Rae cackled. Sei anime fell. Recovering from her fall she looked over at Ed who was laughing for no reason.
Sei looked bewildered as Rae continued to cackle, and Ed, oddly enough laughed with her. Note to self: Never get Ed drunk... but he is a happy drunk, and the best drunk is a happy drunk... She thought to herself. (StIP: remember when your bro came home and ticked your mom off. SD: yeah, and then they both got drunk and began to laugh with each other. StIP: Yup, boy that was funny, SD: agreed)
Glaring at Rae she sighed irritated. "Great, now I have to watch over him or he might do something stupid." Sei mumbled looking over at Al who was playing with Kuwa-kun.
"Oh joy. Ed's drunk and Al's infatuated with a cat." She began to bang her head against the table several times.
A voice interrupted her self abuse. "Come on Sei, lighten up. Have a drink." She looked up to see Rae offering her a glass of some liquor. Taking the glass she sniffed it carefully.
"Ah beer." She grinned at Rae who in turn returned the smile."I'm surprised you're giving alcohol to minors. Haven't you got caught yet?"
Rae shook her head, "Sei Sei Sei, You think I'd give it to anybody. I just always wanted to get Ed drunk, and you of course always brag about drinking. I mean alcoholism runs in your family yet you're not an alcoholic, and I want to see you drink."
Sei brought the cup to her lips, then pushed it away, "I can't Rae, it's not right."
Rae gave an exasperated sigh, "You of all people preach about how it's okay to drink as long as you do it modestly and now here you are all saint like and 'No I can't drink it's wrong-" Rae stopped as Sei finished gulping her glass.
"As you were saying," She smirked pushing her glass toward Rae, "By the way my love, do you have karaoke night?"
Rae, standing up with the glass in hand, turned around grinning, "Of course my dear, what would a tavern be with out karaoke night?" They both laughed. A few minutes later Rae returned with two pitchers of beer, and a few more glasses.
-A few minutes later-
"People are you ready for the beginning for karaoke night!" A man shouted in the mike up on stage. Cheering was heard throughout the crowd. "Good, now we have Rae and Sei singing the remix of 'Livin La Vida Loca'." The man replied as music began to play Two parts of the stage lifted up. One had Rae on it and the other Sei. The began singing, everyone around them were cheering and dancing. It was pretty fun, and Ed joined in too, still being drunk. Al was off, outside playing with Kuwa-kun.
-two hours later-
Ed finally snapping out of his drunk state looked up on stage to see Sei and Rae hanging over each other grinning like two idiots.
"And now we're going to sing the beer song." Sei said holding up her glass. Rae cheered, and the music began.

HOORAY! (Rae: burps)
Ed sweat dropped looking at the two as they laughed as the song ended. Sei came stumbling towards the table. Rae gripping her tightly. Sitting down, well more like falling down, Sei grinned.
"Sei are you okay?" Ed asked her with a raised eyebrow. Rae wrapped an arm around Sei,
"Of course she is." A glint appeared in Rae's eyes as she poured Sei some more beer.
"Thank you my darling." Sei replied drinking the glass.
Ed's eyes grew as large as saucers, "Sei what are you drinking?"
Sei looked over at him with her brows furrowed, her lips pursed together, "The greatest liquid in the world... BEER!", she said holding the glass towards Ed suddenly enthusiastic again, "Want some?"
Ed set the glass down and helped Sei stand up. "Come on, I think we should call it a night." Ed replied holding Sei firmly by the shoulders.
"Okay Ed, if you say so." Sei replied standing a bit unsteadily.
"Sweet dreams you two, and don't do anything you will regret." Rae replied winking, Ed blushed, and Sei was so out of it she didn't really register what Rae said.
"Al, we're going to bed." Ed whispered to Al, "Come up whenever you feel like it. "Al nodded and then went back to playing with Kuwa-kun. (StIP: what Ed said could be taken one of two ways, one perverted and one not, here I am referring to being not perverted for you sickos, SD: You know this kinda makes you sick minded to be one to think of that, StIP: hn :crosses arms:)
In their room Sei sat on the bed watch Ed pace back and forth trying to figure out what to do.
Getting up she began to pace right behind him, Ed turned around giving her a funny look. "Sei, what are you doing?"
Sei began smiling like an idiot, "Pacing." Ed shook his head sighing. Looking at her, he locked gazes with her, instantly she glomped him.
"Sei what are you doing?" Ed shouted rather confused, Sei held on by his waist, not letting go.
"Please don't ever leave me, please." Sei begged clinging desperately to Ed. He looked down at her smiling.
"Didn't I make a promise." Ed replied reassuringly brushing Sei's hair. She smiled at him warmly, nodding her head.
Sitting up, she let Ed up. Sei sat by the window sill watching the night sky, Ed laid on the bed watching her. After Ed drifted off. Sei stood up, and walked over to Ed's bed. She stared down at him, just watching him breathe. I can't believe it. I'm actually here, in his world, with him. He's cuter in person. She thought, her lips curving slightly. She felt a bit woozy from the alcohol so she went to bed.
The next morning Sei woke before Ed. Heading down stairs she saw Rae standing by the kitchen door watching the entire tavern. Once she spotted Sei she waved. Sei walked over to her looking as if she was half dead.
"So, how did last night go?" Rae asked nudging Sei and winking. Sei gave a irritated sigh, she looked a bit unstable, then whacked Rae over the head.
"We didn't do anything. To tell you the truth, last night seems kinda hazy to me." Sei replied in a voice that sounded as if she could blow chunks any second.
Rae looked disappointed, "I thought by now you would've had some action with Ed." Sei glared at her, then turned her head away, no longer looking sick but more angered.
"What do you think I am, some wanna be slut."
"No of course not, but I see the way you look at him, and he's so into you. Why don't you do anything with him?" Rae asked confused and aggravated at the same time. Sei looked over at her and shrugged. Then she walked out of the tavern.
A little while later, Ed came down the stairs. Sitting down at a table he began to dwell on last night. Unaware, one of the waiters came up.
"Excuse me sir? Do you need anything?" The woman replied with a flirting manner. Ed looked up, pursing his lips in thought he shook his head.
"No thank you I'm just fine." The waiter's lower lip stuck out a bit, and she crossed her arms in a pouting manner. She was pretty, she had a small mouth, and curly hair, with a nice figure.
"Then would you mind if I joined you?"
Ed shrugged, "So, what's you're name?" She asked smiling at him seductively. Now he regretted letting her sit with him. Just grin and bear it. He thought as the girl continued to flirt. After a few minutes Ed was going to tell the waiter if she would leave him alone, Sei came up behind Ed.
"So, do you have a girlfriend?" The waiter asked, smiling seductively at Ed.
Sei standing behind Ed grinned, stepping away slightly she watched the two
"Well I.. uhh..-"
"Well if not, I was wondering if you'd like too-" She said as she stood up and began advance towards Ed. Sei came up placing both of her hands around Ed's shoulders.
"Ed, I see you're finally awake." Sei replied, her one hand playing with his braid. Ed looked behind him, surprised by Sei's sudden appearance.
The waiter glanced at the two, her mouth agape. "Wha... wha... What's going on?" The stuttered looking at the two.
Sei grinned, leaning over Ed's shoulder and giving him a kiss, Ed smiled stupidly. The waiter kept looking at the two, then with a "hmpf" the waiter stalking away muttering. Sei snickered as she made her way around Ed. He grabbed her by the waist pulling her down on top of his lap. She looked at him surprised, trying to form words on her mouth.
"So, what's up with the kiss?" Ed asked Sei, he looked her in the eyes, his tone serious.
"What? You like talking to her, I was just doing you a favor." Sei said defensviely. Ed raised an eyebrow.
"You're acting possessive," Ed smirked, Sei looked offended.
"No I'm not."
Rae walked up grinning, "Finally you two are together. Is it because of something you two did last night?" Rae asked slyly while winking. Sei sweat dropped while Ed stared in disbelief.
"Rae, do you think like that cause you read those ridiculous romance novels?" Sei asked her friend. Rae looked offended.
(SD: HUMPH! Romance novels HA! -- I don't read romance novels I just read many yaoi manga's and... :looks over at shelf filled with romance novels: eh heh heh heh never mind StIP::shakes head:)
"Romance novels? HA! I just know you, and your obb-" She faltered as Sei glared at her. Ed looked between the two.
Rae laughed nervously, "I'm going to shut up now." Sei nodded her head in a satisfactory manner, giving her friend a approving look.
(SD: ha ha. Sparky you know me too well I hadn't even read the rest after my first comment... I think that I may be spending a little to much time with you aman.)
The rest of the morning went okay, if anything it was a bit slow. Sei found out that they had a library nearby and was there in the blink of the eye. (SD: You're rhyming, StIP: unintentionally of course, SD::rolls eyes: suuuurrrrreeee) There Ed decided to teach her a bit more of alchemy, and also look up information on the philosophers stone, well if they had any anyway. Ed found something of his interest, and Sei wondered off to see what else the library had to offer.
Around 5 in the afternoon Ed had to pull Sei away from the books, because that's how they spent their entire day, and both haven't ate all day.
"Sei, it's not healthy to just research all the time." Ed said dragging her by the coat, while she was trying to crawl back to the library.
(SD: I highly doubt you were researching you were probally either reading the Wheel of Time series (Which Stip doesn't own) or another romance Novel... tho after the first one that scared you for life I can't be to sure... I'll let her tell you about that herself folks. I'll quit interuppting now.)
"It's okay, I do it all the time, and anyways THEY HAVE THE BEST FANTASY SECTION EVER!." Sei yelled overly enthused grabbing a hold of a pole, and was clinging to it desperately. Ed pulled even harder.
(StIP: I love the Wheel of Time series, oh and I doubt I'll ever read another romance novel again. Well atleast during class. Mr. Houghton had my undivided attention after that incident :shudders:.)
"No it's not okay, and big whoop." He said, his voice straining from all the effort. Letting go of her, he took a deep breath.
"What are you going to do?" Sei asked skeptically gripping the pole tighter. She looked frightened. Ed grabbed her by both of her wrist and threw her over his shoulder, he had a huge grin on his face.
"Meanie." Sei pouted, Sei hung their limply, giving up the fight, after various struggles, and also knowing somehow Ed would be able to get her to eat, despite her pathetic attempts. Arriving in the tavern, Sei was still hung over Ed's shoulder.
Rae ran over to them. "What happened to Sei?"
Sei grunted, "Ed wouldn't let me stay at the library." Ed grinned shaking his head.
"Is she always this stubborn?"
Rae scoffed, "Yes." Ed set Sei down, who was glaring at everybody.
"I'm not stubborn, if I was stubborn I'd still be at the library." Said giving the door occasional glances. Ed gripped her hand firmly.
"I don't think you'll be able to make it to the door in time." Sei looked at him, then the door. With a hmpf she sat down scowling. Ed shook his head smiling, then a thought occurred to him. "The first night we were out in the woods. What was that secret you were keeping from me? I specifically remember you saying that you'd tell me once you saw someone you remember before meeting me."
Sei grinned nervously, looking at both Ed and Rae.
