Ok guys, I'm sooooo sorry I haven't updated in so long. I got into a harry potter mood because of the 4th movie coming out on DVD and having a marathon, then I got into a Kingdom Hearts mood because of the second one coming out and I've been studying for exams at school (shocking to people who know me). Anyway this isn't very long and I'm sooooo sorry again. I'll try to update chapter three soon.

"Edward?"

The voice almost echoed, but Ed didn't know if it was the actual room, or it was all in his head. He looked over from his spot on the floor to look at the confused individual now openly gawking at him. "How did you get that name?" he hissed as strongly as he could, but all in all it was weak.

"Your… your brother told me about you… he is my partner…" Roy stuttered out, realization hitting him like grand pianos hit cartoon characters. He could have sworn that he saw hurt cross the golden eyes that belonged to the boy. "He joined to get revenge on Envy…"

Edward froze at that. "What? No, he can't what is he thinking…" then he stopped and coughed up some blood. Roy couldn't let him die, not like this, not when he was his friends' brother and all. He kneeled beside the blonde and got something out, starting to prepare it.

"How long has it been sense you were poisoned?" He asked, still not looking at Ed.

"Two hours ago…. Give or take…."

"Okay then; we have some time, I can save you." He then proceeded to inject something into Ed's arm, much to the others distaste. After he was finished Ed's body shivered and he fell unconscious on the floor. Roy let out the breath that he wasn't aware that he was holding. "Good thing I had that just in case…" He muttered to himself and picked up the unconscious form from the floor.

--Back at TAVE—

Roy was sitting down whining about his shoes. "Just look at this! The blood is even crusty around it! Aw man, I just got these last weeks too! Now I have to buy a new pair!" His partner was looked at him annoyed.

"You know, you don't have to buy a new pair of shoes, its called shoe cleaner." Al stated simply, tying to hide he was annoyed and failing miserably at it.

Roy gave him a strange look at the mere idea of something so alien to him. "What does it do?" He asked.

Al sighed in aggravation and shook his head. "It takes off stuff like blood off your shoes and makes them look like new."

Roy's eyes lit up in astonishment. "Whoa, is that true, really? Why have I never heard of this wonderful substance before?"

"Because you are a shallow idiot who can not come to terms with something of that sort." Hughes said from behind the raven haired man.

"What are you talking about?" Roy retorted innocently, "I am not shallow, just a bit…. Um…"

"Annoying, shallow, a prick, idiot, whiner, wimp, close minded, picky, aggravating…"

"Hey, annoying and aggravating happen to be the same thing!" Roy sneered.

"Yeah, I know that, it just counts for double when we are talking about you." The other grinned back to Mustang. "And last but not least, kind of a letch."

"Well I am sorry you feel that way Hughes!" Roy glared at him darkly.

"Well I am sorry that you ARE that way Mustang." With that said the other left, leaving Roy to seethe and Al in a laughing fit.

--In Roy's room—

Roy entered his room only to see the blonde sitting up from where he had laid him earlier. "Hey Ed, feeling any better at all?" He asked with a small grin. Golden eyes glared at him in annoyance, but then softened.

"Yeah actually, I am feeling a bit better. Um… thanks for giving me the cure and all…"

"Hey don't worry about it. Oh and I didn't tell your brother about you being here yet, didn't know how either you are he would react if I did." Roy stated as he walked closer to Ed.

As he walked up to the bed he noticed something kind of strange and amusing at the same time and he started to uncharacteristically chuckle.

"What, may I ask, is so amusing to you?" Edward bristled at the other.

"I just noticed something about you Ed…" Roy said shaking his head and didn't say anything further.

"Care to enlighten me on what this discovery may be?"

"You… are kind of short."
