Chapter 5 "Call to duty"
The next day while trying to clean up a crime scene Edward told Roy about everything.
"Good grief, Ed! Well, this is fate! She's single, we don't want to fix up the cabinets, only to move them to the other side of the room afterwards, and you need a girl. What do they call it when everything intersects?" Roy said, handing a piece of debris for Edward to throw away. Edward looked at him in the eye while throwing the debris.
"The Bremuda Triangle."
Al's at Riza's house
Riza was reserving a train ticket for Alphonse on the charts.
"I'm telling them you're sixteen so you can go by yourself with a cheeper fare." she said, scribbling the false information.
"Are you crazy! Who'd believe I'm sixteen!" Al said, eyes growing larger.
"If it's on the charts, they'll believe it."
"Are you sure?"
"Do you want me to say you're really tall for your age and have a young voice and they shouldn't say anything because it would hurt your feelsings?"
" Yeah, that's a great idea!" Al laughed at the thought. "It sounds like my brother!"
Edward walking home with the Colonel later that day
"You know, it sounds like this lady's just as desperate for men as the rest. I don't care if she's the same lady named Winry or not. Usually girls go for good looking butts, if you ask me." Roy jabbered all the way down the hill.
"Oh, shut up." Ed said, rolling his eyes. He was exhausted and didn't want to hear about girls and fanmail. "Don't they look for better things? Like, let's say, personality!" he yelled.
"Well, I'm just talking from experience, Ed, you don't have to get off the hook with me." Roy waved his hand like it wasn't supposed to be that big of a deal. They were quiet for a while. Then, Edward looked up at Roy with a serious face.
"So how's my butt?" he asked. Roy motioned for Ed to turn around. Edward moved his coat to the side.
"Not bad!" Roy said, slapping Ed's shoulder as they continued walking home.
A/N Sorry this was so short! And no, this is not going to be a RoyEd fic. I didn't realise it sounded like it might until I got to the part where Roy checks out Ed's butt for the sake of relationships. Anyway, Please R&R! I need ten new reviews to get a new chapter up!
