Ok! Still being fairly new to yaoi, ok so I'm not REALY new to it but in terms of writing it…this will be my first. So be nice…I'm venturing out on a limb with this story considering I don't normally write this stuff. I'm not promising it's going to be a good story, but I am going to do my best and I hope it'll be good.

Anywhozles! Due to the fact I'm a Winry/Roy/ Envy x Ed (in that order) fan that's basicly what I wanted to focus on in this one shot, well that would make it kinda long. So! If people like it enough and leave lots of reviews then maybe, just maybe, I'll turn it into a multi-chapter story. But due to the fact that I've got so many other multi-chapter stories going, well, you get the picture. Though I am almost done with one of them so maybe if this is liked enough I'll replace that finished story with this one…(shrug).

Mine Alone

"Damn, another dead end." Edward Elric was walking down the near empty streets of Central with a very irritated disposition. His younger brother, Alphonse Elric, followed close behind and said,

"It's ok brother, maybe the next lead will be the one."

Ed sighed and shook his head,

"Perhaps."

The Elric brothers made their way towards Central HQ, they had to inform Colonel Mustang that they were back and Ed had to turn in his report. When they reached the large white stone building that was Central Command, 1st Lt. Hawkeye kindly escorted the brothers to the colonels' office. They were standing just outside the colonels' door; Ed turned to Al and said,

"This shouldn't take long Al, you can wait out here if you want."

"You sure?" Al asked.

"All I have to do is give the colonel my report and probably sit through one of his little speeches about how we struck out on the Philosophers' Stone…again." Ed replied, he had a rather irked look when he mentioned the speeches. Alphonse nodded, 1st Lt. Hawkeye then looked up at Al and said,

"You can help me with some paper work then, I'll need you to move some things as well."

Alphonse nodded again then followed the lieutenant while waving to his brother. Ed turned and glared at the large wooden door in front of him, finally after heaving a large sigh; he knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Who do you think!" Ed snapped.

"Come in."

Edward opened the door and walked in, he shut to door behind him, and then turning to see the colonels' chair was turned away from him facing the window behind it. Walking up to the colonels' desk, Ed slapped a two-page report down, then in an irritated tone he said,

"Here's your report colonel."

Colonel Roy Mustang turned in his chair; he picked up the report and examined it. Then, glancing up at Ed, looking him straight in the eyes. Edward bristled; a shiver had just run down his spine, there was something about the way Roy was looking at him that made Ed uneasy.

"Another dead end I see." He said in his usually smug tone and slightly knowing expression.

"You could say that," Ed grumbled, "Now, unless you have some other leads or assignments for me I'm going to leave." He then turned to leave, when he was about half way to the door the colonel said,

"As a matter of fact, I do have an assignment for you FullMetal."

Ed turned and gave the colonel a 'you've got to be kidding me' look, the colonel ignored this expression and took out a folder setting it down.

"You may not have noticed but we've been having some problems."

"Oh really? What do you want me to do about it?" Ed said irritatedly. Mustang got up, picking up the folder as he went, and walked over. He then sat down on the armrest of the couch that occupied the center of the room, flipping the folder open he said,

"It's about those homunculi, they've been causing some mischief. It's still not clear what it is exactly they are after or what they hope to achieve by doing all of this."

"So, you want me to investigate?" Ed grumbled.

"Yes, besides, you may find something out about the Philosophers' Stone."

Edward just huffed and rounded on his heels, due to his less then happy mood; he'd turned a little to fast that he stumbled over his own feet. Mustang jumped up and caught him before he fell, but, instead of letting go to regain his composer, he pulled Ed closer. Edward tried to pull away but found that the colonel wasn't letting go.

"What the hell are you doing?" he snapped. Roy just replied by pressing his face into Eds' hair and saying,

"What does it look like FullMetal?"

This time Ed elbowed the colonel in the ribs, Roy let go and Ed made a mad dash for the door, but before he opened it he glared,

"What the hell is wrong with you…" then he left slamming the door behind him. Roy smirked slightly as he straightened himself up, he bent down and picked up the folder he'd dropped when he caught Ed and walked back over to his desk. He set the folder down and sat down in his chair, turning it so he could look out the window.

Edward stormed down the hallway until he came to the reception area; he found the closest seat and sat down. His elbows resting on his knees and his forehead in his palms, he muttered,

"What…was that?" he then scratched his head vigorously trying to make the feeling go away, "That pervert…I don't even…" Ed then shook his head, "I already care about someone."

Moments later Alphonse walked in and noticed his brother sitting in the reception area, he walked over and sat down next to him asking,

"How'd it go?"

Ed didn't say anything for a while; he was mulling over, reluctantly, on the events that had taken place. Finally he turned and looked at Al replying,

"It would seem that the colonel has a new assignment for me, it has to do with the homunculus."

"What! Really? What is it?" Al asked, he sounded kind of excited and kind of shocked. Ed just shrugged.

"I think it's just investigating what it is they're up too. Apparently they've been causing some trouble around Central."

"That's odd…I thought they were after the Philosophers' Stone, what does Central have to do with that?" Al wondered out loud. Edward frowned and crossed his arms, he looked very flustered, Al looked down at his brother questioningly.

"What's the matter brother?" he asked. Eds' eye twitched slightly as the thought crossed his mind again; he looked over at Al and said,

"I just realized I forgot to grab the case file."

"Case file?"

"Yeah, the one on the assignment I'm supposed to do. I'm gonna have to go back and get it…" Ed didn't look to pleased about this so Al volunteered to get it, "No, I don't want you going in there ok."

"Why is that?"

"Never mind about that, I'll go get it later ok." Ed hissed, he got up and stretched.

"Lt. Hawkeye says we can stay in the dorms for the night, she's already set everything up so we can go over there anytime we like." Al said also standing up.

"Sounds like a plan Al…" Ed made his way towards the exit, "You go on ahead, I'm just going to go for a walk."

"Are you ok brother?" Al asked. Edward didn't say anything, he just paused for a moment not looking at Al, his face was flushing slightly.

"It's nothing Al, I'm just going out to get some air that's all." Ed smirked, he then left. Alphonse watched as his brother walk down the steps then turned and headed for the dorms, he could tell there was something up with his brother that he wasn't been told. He figured his brother would tell him what was bothering him when he was ready.

It had been about two hours sense Ed had went on his walk, he was on his way back when an officer ran up to him and said,

"FullMetal sir! You have been requested by Colonel Mustang."

Edward stopped and gave the officer a look then replied,

"Yeah…I'm sure he did…"

"You should return to Central command immediately."

"I was already on my way back…" Ed grumbled walking past the officer. He made it back to Central H.Q.; Ed walked up the stairs and made his way through the reception area. It took him another ten minutes to get to the colonels' office, he'd walked past it two or three times before he came to a stop. He then knocked on the door and waited.

"Come in."

Eds' hand twitched along with his eye, he then opened the door and walked in. The colonel was sitting at his desk looking over some paperwork, he looked up when Ed walked in and shut the door. Ed knew he really shouldn't close the door but whatever happened was to stay in this room.

"You called?" he grumbled, Mustang got up, he was holding a folder in his hands.

"You left before taking this," he said with a slight smirk on his face, "I think you'll be needing this if you wish to carry out your assignment."

"Yeah, I know…"

The colonel held out the folder, Edward just looked at it for a second then at the colonel with a suspicious glare. The colonel returned the glare with a smirk; Ed walked forward and reached out for the folder. Roy then reached out with his other hand and grabbed Edwards' wrist and pulled him in and kissed him. Ed tried to push him away, but Roy pulled him closer wrapping his arm around Eds' lower back. Ed managed to pull his head away enough to protest.

"S…stop it."

"I won't let you leave until I've done this one thing." Roy leaned in close to Eds' face and whispered, "You are mine…"

"Wh…what…" Edward pulled back with a little more force this time, why was the colonel acting this way? He'd never seen this side of him before; it was kind of unnerving, "what are you doing?"

Roy replied to this by letting go and walking over to the window behind his desk, he still had the folder in his hands, which irritated Ed slightly. He gazed down at the parade grounds briefly before turning to face Edward again.

"I guess you could call it equivalent exchange…" he had a faint smirk growing on his face. Ed glared and said,

"Equivalent exchange my ass, you're the one who should be doing me a favor! Not the other way around!"

"Ah! But who's the superior officer here? I am fully aware that you are searching for the Philosophers' Stone and that we granted you the right to conduct your own research on it with little to no interruptions, but that doesn't mean we still can't give you assignments. Besides, you wouldn't turn down something that may have to do with said stone now would you?" Roy said smugly.

"Alright, that explains the assignment…but what about…" Ed now had a very uncomfortable disposition. Roy merely continued to smirk before answering,

"It's simple really, you do this one thing for me and I'll give you the case file on your next assignment."

"Like hell! I'll pass on that offer and just look for leads on the stone somewhere else." Ed scoffed turning to walk towards the door.

"You really should look at this file FullMetal, considering it's the latest and only lead on the homunculus. They are connected to the stone if I remember correctly."

Ed stopped and turned his head slightly; he then turned around completely and looked at the colonel. The look he was giving was that of irritated realization, he glanced down at the ground and asked,

"Can you give me two hours to think about it…"

"I suppose, but I'll need an answer before tomorrow. Can't let this case go unchecked for too long." Roy answered sitting down in his chair and setting the folder down in the center. Edward turned and continued to the door, opening it and leaving. He made his way to the dorms where he found Al, when he entered the dorm Al looked up and asked,

"Did you get it?"

"No…"

"Why not?"

"I don't know…" Ed shrugged as he walked over to the bed while removing both his red jacket and the smaller black one under that and flopped down on it. He looked over at Al and asked, "Al, if you had a choice between looking for a lead on the stone by ourselves or taking an assignment that may lead to the stone but have to…well…do something in exchange for that assignment, which would you choose?"

"Well, I guess that depends…what would I have to do if I chose the assignment?" Al asked.

"It could be anything…"

"I'd probably go with the assignment then, because it would count as a lead wouldn't it? If there was even a small chance that the assignment could lead to the stone or something about it, then wouldn't that make more sense to choose that over looking for a lead from scratch?"

"I guess you're right…" Ed sighed, he lied over on his side facing away from Al, he then asked, "Could you wake me up in two hours?"

"Sure…" Al nodded, "I'm just going to go see if the lieutenant needs anymore help and I'll be right back." He then added.

"Fine…" Ed sighed. When Al was gone, Ed sat up again; he looked at the wall right in front of him and pondered his dilemma for a good twenty minutes. No matter which one he chose it wouldn't make him feel any better. It wasn't long before two hours had passed; Ed had fallen asleep so Al had to wake him up. Ed reluctantly rolled out of the bed and started for the door, Al piped in,

"What about your jacket?"

"…"

"Brother?"

"It's not like I'm going very far Al, I don't need it right now." Ed said with a slight smirk, Al could tell it was a forced smirk which usually ment his brother was going to do something without his consent.

"Where are you going?"

"I just have to tell that idiot colonel that I'll take the assignment on the homunculus. Don't wait up…"

"Huh?"

"…Never mind…" Ed shrugged as he left, Al knew that face. It was saying that Ed was trying to tell him something but had a hard time saying it, he figured Ed would tell him sooner or later, so Al figured he'd just occupy his now free time to do whatever he wanted. He wasn't going to follow his brother considering it was both rude and he never really did like spying on people, especially if they're family. Nope, he was going to maybe go over to the Hughes.

"Yeah! I haven't seen Elisia in a while! I do hope it's not too late though…" Al said to himself standing up and walking to the door.

(Pause) WHA! I ended it right here! Why! Why did I stop it here? (Pause again) Thank you muses, yes I have muses now, I may have mentioned them in one of my other story author notes. They're tiny little invisible elves; they live under my bed and steal my socks. Now they work in the casino in my brain…don't ask…it's a long story and most of it came from the scary pits of my mind that bubble to the surface late at night when I'm gazing blankly at the computer screen wondering…should I play another game of solitaire or type up updates for my other stories? But anywhozles, tell me what you think, this is my first yaoi fic (yes I know there wasn't much…sorry…there is more just due to the fact this is a one shot I didn't get to it yet…sorry again…) so please don't flame. Flames hurt…but I do accept constructive criticism, grammar checks, spell check (cause the computer spell check sometimes misses things), stuff like that! Ha! See! It's that dark pit again! This is one seriously long and pointless author note so I'm just going to stop there, if there are any questions or whatever floats your boat don't hesitate to pm me. Questions do wonders!
