Oi, let the hedgehogs feast... Sorry! We've been doing a bunch of GEPA Prep. crap in school. Anyway, at long last, here's the 5th Chapter! Also, Fluff won the vote, sorry Smut Lovers! You guys, may attack me with anything you want. I will prepare by putting a pot on my head, shin guards on my ankles, wrist guards on my arms, and pillows on my front and back. Oh, and don't forget the wooden spoon! SPOON!

Disclaimer: There's no yaoi, there's no odd messages at the end of each episode saying: Made By Kyoushu Amaya. So guess what? FMA is not mine!

Since Ed had opened up to Roy that night, their relationship had never been the same. Ed and Roy talked more, they even made a point to try not to piss each other off ( mainly a rule for Roy...).

Today was no different. Roy was signing the usual stack of paperwork and Ed sat on the couch, playing with a feather he'd found outside. The samll, yet entertaining feather intrigued the boy. Up and down, up and down, every so often landing on Ed's nose, making him sneeze. Roy shook his head, " Edward, what could possibly be so interesting about watching that feather?"

" I dunno.." The blonde replied, nearly sneezing again as the feather landed. It was possible that Ed was just comfortable on the couch. He was laying down on his back, his hands were rested lazily behind his head and his feet barely reached the end of the couch. Roy shook his head and continued to sign the dreaded papers.

About an hour later...

" Pssssssst! "

" ... "

" Psssssssssst! Roy!"

" mm..."

" Guess what?"

" What Edward?"

" HI!" The boy shouted, it almost echoed in the room.

Roy flinched at the sudden shout, " Ed, why are you so upbeat?"

" I dunno."

" That's not the answer I was looking for. Anyway, what time is it?" The Colonel asked, putting his pen down and lounging back in his chair. Roy had lost track of the time, it had gotten quiet. Roy couldn't help but wonder where the feather was either.

Ed looked at the small clock, " It's about 5. " Ed now sat cross legged on the couch, looking at Roy with childish eyes. Ed had obviously had a burst of energy. Perhaps it was from playing with the feather...

Roy sighed in relief and stretched, " All right then, lets start getting ready to leave." Ed nodded and looked around for his red jacket, which was nowhere in sight at the moment. Roy neatly put the finished paperwork in a stack on his desk, " Edward, go get Riza for me and tell her most of the paperwork is done."

Ed did a sort of salute just out of being a smart ass and stood up, " Sure thing Colonel Bastard."

Roy ignored that comment and got his own jacket. He shut his office door behind him, locked it, and waited for Ed to return. When Ed came back he had a slight look of triumph on his face, " Well, she was pleased. She said she wants to see it tomorrow. "

Roy nodded and walked out of the building, Ed on his heels.

Ed's mood became normal once more on the car ride home. He sulked in the seat, " Roy..."

" Yes?"

" Was I annoying?"

Roy looked over and down at Ed, " Well, you were a bit hyper Ed. But, that doesn't mean I found you annoying."

Ed scoffed and shifted his position, " Fine, whatever you say."

Roy was concerned now, " What's wrong? Why're you so pissed off?" Ed didnt answer. he just sulked more until they got home. Then, he was happy again, strange. The small blonde literally bounced out of the car and through the front door, he made his way to the couch, bounced, and landed with a sigh.

" Ed?" Roy asked, taking his jacket off and feeling the boys forehead, " Are you okay?"

Ed shooed him away, " I'm fine Roy, geez."

Roy shrugged it off and went into the bedroom, " I'm going to bed early Ed, good night." he called. Ed nodded in reply and sat on the couch for a bit longer, plotting. Oh yes, the small blonde had indeed used being hyper as an excuse to plot.

Roy was half asleep, half when Ed came in around 10. Ed snuck up behind him, " unnoticed ", and tackle hugged him, " HI ROY! " Roy jumped slightly, laughing when Ed began staring at him.

" Ugh, Ed, I was almost asleep. What's wrong?" Roy asked, turning around to face the young blonde. Ed shrugged, flopping lazily on his side of the bed. Roy shook his head, " Ed, you are strange. " Ed laughed a little bit before, out of the blue, hugging Roy tightly.

The young blonde snuggled up against Roy, and sarcastically said, " Hmph, bastard."

Roy smiled and returned the hug, " Love you too brat." Heh, brat. That's a new one. Soon they fell asleep, Ed curled up against Roy and Roy, well, just being himself. I'll leave it at that...
