The Songbirds Are Humming

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA. Hiromu Arakawa does.

Warning: This contains light yaoi in it. If you can't horribly stand yaoi at all, I suggest you leave. And it was rated Teen because of violence, language, and romance.

Pairings: Yaoi: RoyxEd

This fan fiction will also work around the brotherly love of Ed and Al. No incest stuff though. Because sadly, I'm not that insane.

Some questions will be answered in this. :3

Enjoy!

Chapter 3

Ed soon opened the door and saw a brown fluffball scurry out. "Al..." He said patiently, walking inside and shutting the door. "Yes brother?" Al said innocently, as if nothing had happened. "You know we aren't supposed to have cats in the dorm." Ed sighed taking off his jacket and smiling at Al, trying to fix the scratches in the wall with alchemy, as he scribbled a transmutation circle, and touching it, fixing the walls of scratches.

"I'm sorry but he looked so sad in the cold out there, and I just couldn't help it." Al said trying to explain.

"Alright. We just have to remember we're guests here so we can't create too much of a mess." Ed sighed yet again, contemplating the mission that was supposed to be his. He rubbed his temples as a headache was forming.

"What's wrong?" Al asked in worry, as he neatly put everything away that he had for the cat. "Mustang gave me a mission...but..." He stopped his sentence, remembering the smirk that was on Mustang's lips as he walked in.

"But what, brother?" Al asked curiously, breaking Ed out of his flashback. "But you should probably stay here. I'll be back later." He rushed out the door, not forgetting his coat on the way out, leaving Al behind clueless.

He rushed out into the cold, his breath showing in the air as he ran. He remembered the smirk that played over and over in his mind. He wanted to touch those lips with his own. He then remembered. No military personel could date or be married to another person in the military. Mustang might think he was crazy anyways. His breath was heavy from running so much, and he went into the nearest cafe and got a bagel to cover up from running out of the dorm.

He made his way back to the dorm, only nibbling on the bagel, to proove that was why he ran out, although in a second, he could devor the bagel whole inhumanly. He felt embarrsed that he went out so suddenly just to come back with a bagel.

He went deep into thought about the cold window pane, combined with his own warm breath, and thoughts about his own dreams. He wanted to be by the side of Mustang so badly so someone could comfort him when it rains for him. He wish he could tell him so bad. He wanted to speak out sharply that he...Ed quickly shook the thought from his head.

It took him longer to walk back to the dorms since he had ran the first time. His own thoughts were deep within his head as it started to snow, little by little, 'I love you, Roy Mustang.' He thought as he looked into the sky, his eyes filled with sorrow and lonliness.

Ed then saw Mustang pass him, but Edward stopped him by shouting "Wait!" at him. Roy turned around and did his famous smirk. "What do you want, Fullmetal?" He asked in his normal deep tone. "I-I'm sorry for snapping at you. You were right." Edward apoligized properly. "Ah, so seeing my ideals rational finally?" Roy kept a smirk on his face, while Ed looked miserably at Roy's face, wanting badly to feel those soft appearing lips of his. Ed snapped back to reality and quickly said "Gotta go." before passing Mustang, leaving him standing there, but Mustang continued on to his destination; the bar to shake off some memories for a while.

Ed had finally arrived home and night was approaching but not much difference was in the sky that night, as of the grey clouds filled with percipitation covered the dawn sun. He came in and stared into space while laying on the bed. "Brother...what's wrong?" Al asked worriedly, seeing his brother space out. "Nothing. Just thinking some." Ed said in a plain manner. "Well, I got some dinner/lunch for you to eat when your ready." "Ok." The short conversation was followed by a long silence as the older Elric drifted off to sleep.
