Disclaimer: I'm bored. So here goes.

Edward Elric: Taka does not own FMA, but I know for a fact she really wants too. I saw her drooling on the table dreaming about the Taisa. (Cackles madly!) Hey wait a minute…the Taisa is mine; wait till I get you Taka!

Chapter 2:

Their destination was a small island town called Crystal Waters. True to its name, this island was surrounded by waters of different hues, sparkling clear and beautiful in the sun. Ed looked out in fascination; Aquroya had been nothing like this! The beaches were beautiful with palms trees strewn here and there, there weren't any crowds and the small sea food shacks littered the beaches gave it such charm…it was so romantic! A snore from the Colonel yanked him out of his reverie; bringing him brutally back to reality…he was not on a romantic holiday with the love of his life. He was on vacation with the most trying bastard in the history of history! With a small growl he tossed his crushed paper glass, hitting the colonel squarely on the head.

"Ow!" Roy woke up rubbing his head. He glared at the short alchemist, a sarcastic remark on the tip of his tongue, but he held back. It was vacation after all…so he settled for a lame "What did you do that for, shorty?" before he realized his mistake.

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT…?" Roy interrupted. "That they're smaller than bacteria? Smaller than the beans filled in a beanie baby? Smaller than a microscopic grain of rice?" he glared at the boy. "You know you're really going to have to stop this, if we have to spend time together, you never know when I'll get angry enough to eliminate you with a snap of my fingers!"

"Kusoyaro! (Bastard)" Edward yelled. "I don't have to take orders from you, you're not my superior right now, so I can throw my glass in your face and I can do this!" he punched or tried to punch the colonel in the stomach. Roy caught his hand and calmly picked him up throwing him over his shoulder. Ed struggled for all he was worth; he hadn't thought that Roy was this strong. "Let me go! Kusoyaro! Let me go!" Roy stepped off the train and picked up their bags and hailed a cab. He dumped Ed unceremoniously into it before giving the cab driver directions.

Ed glowered at his superior wishing he could mangle that handsome face. He suddenly found a blush rising up and looked out of the window to cover it. He'd felt distinctly uncomfortable when Roy had picked him, being to close to him physically was distracting. Ed frowned wishing he could forget the faint smoke tinged cologne smell of Roy Mustang. The cab halted abruptly and Ed realized they'd stopped at a small house on the beach.

They went in and looked around. Ed bagged the room that had the view of the sea; the other room faced the garden. It was really small and cozy juts right for two people. The kitchen was all wood and Metal completely fitted with all the modern appliances. Ed saw to his dismay that there was just one bathroom, which meant that every time he lazed there Roy would be yelling for him to get out. He dumped all his stuff on the bed and lay down. He could hear Roy unpacking downstairs. He went down to see the living room transformed. The empty bookshelves were filled with books; two huge suitcases littered the floor. Edward promptly tripped over them.

"What the hell are these?" he yelled glaring at Roy who was bending over the lower part of the shelves. He looked up a speck of dust on his nose. "Hmm? Those are suitcases…you know the things which you fill with stuff and take along on a holiday?"

"I know what suitcases are! But how did they get here? You just brought one small bag didn't you? What's in them and why have you left them littering the floor?" Roy smirked. "I had Riza send them over…they are full of clothes, books, essentials, etc. I am on a vacation…which means women, women and more women!"

"Is that all you think about? Women!" Ed growled trying not to wipe that fleck of dust of his nose. Roy looked so cute down there. The colonel smirked. "What am I supposed to think about Edo-kun? You?" Ed stood up trying to hold back the blush he knew was creeping over his face and walked to his room. The Kusoyaro! The bloody smug idiot! He dozed of in the middle of cursing Roy Mustang

-----------------------------------------------

Ed woke up at twilight to a really yummy smell. What was it? Sausages? He swore he could smell sausages! He went down the stares to find Roy wearing a "King of the Kitchen" apron, stirring something and sipping on a glass of scotch. "What are you doing?" asked Ed looking absolutely surprised.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Sometimes you make me wonder if you really are a prodigy or just a dumb shorty who happened to qualify as a state alchemist." Roy went on stirring. Ed bit back a yell about his height and looked curiously at what Roy was stirring. It was some kind of rice…"What are you making?"

"Its sausage and prawn rice…a delicacy in some places. It's called Jambalaya." He added a bit more salt and spooned a little out, blowing on it. "Care to try some and tell me if it's ok?" Ed nodded. After prodding at it a bit he tried it…Oh my God! This is heavenly! Before anyone knew what was happening Ed had dumped almost have the rice into his mouth…most was which was on its way to his stomach burning his insides. "Hot…hot…" Ed danced around the kitchen for a while until Roy tipped a jug of water into his mouth and all over the rest of him.

Ed sat down in a wet heap on the floor. If looks could kill Edward Elric would have been deader than a doornail. He gulped maybe this was when he was supposed to run from all the flames…? Roy really didn't know whether to laugh or yell. He decided on neither, instead he turned his back on the dripping alchemist and picked up the phone directory. He found a place and ordered some food. He turned back to Ed who'd alchemized his clothes dry.

"I'm taking a walk and pick up the food I ordered. By the time I get back you had better get this mess cleaned up or no one will be able to find your ashes when I'm done with you." The door shut after him. Ed stared at it in silence. How was he going to put up with this kind of thing for the next few weeks…wait a few weeks? Shit it was a month and half!

------------------------------------------------------------

Ed drooled on the table as he slept. He'd been so tired after cleaning up that he'd fallen asleep. "Ed!" he woke up as someone shook him awake. He looked up to see Roy standing over him smiling. "I'm sorry I made you work so hard…" he smiled back at Roy. The colonel picked him up, smiling. His smile is so awesome…the colonel kissed him softly…mmmm….Ed woke up to the sound of giggling outside.

Ed hastily wiped the table and looked towards the door which was opening. Roy entered smiling at someone. Ed frowned looking at a pretty girl with long brown hair and wide green eyes, who was giggling uncontrollably. "Oh Roy…you really are funny!" Kusoyaro! He tried to erase the sudden hurt he was feeling. Roy looked around before turning to Ed with a smile. "You've outdone yourself Edo-kun. You must be hungry, here why don't you help yourself? This is Cheryl; we'll join you a little later, if you don't mind."

Edo took the bags, not looking at the colonel. Roy escorted his new date to the chairs on the back porch and returned to the kitchen. He'd caught Ed's hurt look and wondered if he'd been too harsh on the kid. They were supposed to be rooming together; maybe he shouldn't have let his temper get away with him. He saw Ed listlessly running his spoon through a box of gravy. "Hey, Ed?" the blonde looked up at him, an expressionless look with a tinge of anger. "What?"

"I'm sorry I was such a prick. I just let my temper run away with me I guess. I'll make it up to you tomorrow, I promise, maybe we could do a barbeque or something." Roy smiled and extended a hand. Ed swatted it away. "I don't care. It didn't make much of a difference anyway, you treat everyone like that…must come from being a cold, uncaring bastard." He walked out with his food, ignoring the hurt look that flitted across Roy's face before the other man could reply.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ed covered his face with a pillow. God that woman was too loud! Didn't Roy ever stop? How much stamina did the man have? He stopped that train of thought…it was too embarrassing. He turned to other thoughts…about Roy. Why had he felt so hurt when Roy had brought Cheryl over? It was Colonel Roy Mustang for crying out loud…he was a womanizer. Bringing women home was normal for him…then why did it hurt so badly!
