Hey everyone time for the next chapter! I need to explain a few things real quick. This is the first chapter I involve the use of alcohol. The best way for me to express intoxication is to show slurred words by misspelling them hope you don't have much problem reading through it but after reading it through to my self they really do sound a little drunken I guess I didn't think it would work as well as it did. I also want to thank everyone who was nice enough to leave a review. I really enjoy them!

Chapter Three: Temptation
The side walk that led to the front door seemed to be miles long or maybe it was Ed dragging his feet while he rubbed his face. The sidewalk was lined with small shrubs and just inside the shrubs were flower patches. Ed began to wonder who's house they were at. The closer they got to the door the more noise they could hear. Just in front of the house was steps leading to the door. Strong laughter was heard through the front door and just as Ed reached up to knock the door swung open smacking him right in the face.
"GREATINGS ELRIC BROTHERS AND WELCOME TO THE CELEBRATION!" Armstrong was the doorway shirtless while flexing his 'perfect figure'. Ed lay face down twitching a little. Al tried not to laugh.
"This is no time to sleep Hagane." Roy said from behind Armstrong who was still flexing while little stars seem to float around him.
Ed and Al finally made it inside the large home. Everyone from Roy's division was at the party. Everyone greeted the brothers as they passed. Riza was sitting at the bar that was set up for the party. There was even a bartender that was hired for the night. Ed and Al took a seat to order a drink.
"Hello Ed…Al" Riza said to them as Ed waited for the bartender to come their way.
"Hey." Ed ordered a drink then turned to Riza.
"Hello Riza."
"Some party, who's house is this?" Ed asked
"General Mustang's." She said sipping her cocktail.
"WHAT!" The brothers both seemed to be in shock.
"He just got it not long ago, the military want him close by now that he is a General." Riza said
"Amazing, this huge house?" Ed said leaning back against the bar.
The night seemed to go on smoothly. Ed and Al socialized with their fellow Military comrades for some time into the evening. Ed even got his mind of the certain person he had been so vexed about. Roy found the two well into the night at a table chatting with a few people. He sat two drinks down for them.
"Here loos like you two need anotthher." The sluration of Roy's words indicated that he had been drinking quite a bit. Ed laughed taking the drink in hand.
"No thanks I need to take it easy." Al said.
"Nonsssense, don't worry I wooll have you essscorteddd home." Roy said sliding it closer to him.
Roy took a seat and another swallow of his drink. Al looked at Ed hoping he would give a reason why he could stay sober but Ed only chugged down his own drink. Al being the lightweight he was took his time with the drink hoping Roy wouldn't pass him another. Ed had finished his fairly quick and Roy already had two more sitting next to them. Al was tricked into one after another and being quite inexperienced with alcohol started to become quiet intoxicated, Ed however handled it fairly well though he was still fully drunk. The night went on and on until the wee hours of the morning when finally mostly everyone was gone already or too drunk to leave. Al was sloppy drunk. Ed was nearly as drunk but was able to stand up alright.
"Generrnal so sorrrry me an Al shood get goin' now." Ed's speech was also very slurred.
"I wo have my driverrr take yuuu." Roy stood up and walked a zigzag line over to the driver who was there to drive non-sober people home.
"Common Al." Ed said nudging his drunk brother.
Al was staring off into the swaying room that seemed to spin slightly. Ed chuckled and helped Al stand up. Some how they both made it to the car and the ride home was almost a blur for Al. All he could see was the night sky and once and a while a flash of light out the car window. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them and Ed pulled Al out of the car. He lead Al to the door trying to get it open. He stood Al up hoping he could stand long enough for him to open the door. The door knob seemed to be swaying around as Ed took hold of it and turn it letting them inside. Al took a step forward nearly collapsing into the floor but instead Ed caught him.
"Need to learrn how to holdd your drinnkk a little better Al." Ed mumbled helping him find his way upstairs.
"So sorrrrry Niissann." Al managed. After they were safely inside their bedroom Ed let go of Al for a moment hoping he would find his bed. Instead Al leaned a little to far and nearly fell again. Ed caught him. Al held on to Ed trying to stand on his own but leaning on him seemed to be the only thing he could do.
"Arrre we home yet?" Al hiccupped. Ed laughed.
"Ur bed isss behhind you." Ed said as Al put his arms around Ed's neck hoping the room would hold still. Al seemed to stop all movement resting his hot face into Ed's neck. Ed backed him up to his bed and sat him down. Ed began to untie Al's shoes for him knowing he needed the help.
"Niissann." Al mumbled.
"Yes?" Ed answered in a low voice.
"Thank you."
"Just sleep." Ed slipped off the shoes then he turned to his own bed.
"Onissannn." Al mumbled.
"What?" Ed turned back towards Al.
"Do you love me?" Al whispered. It was a bit of a shock at first. Ed was quiet for a minute then he took a seat next to Al who was now laying on his back with his feet on the floor.
"Of course I do…" He paused for a moment. "…I love you more then I can even tell you." Ed said looking at Al's perspiring face. Al smiled a bit.
"Nnisann."
"Yes?"
"Take my cclloths offf…" Ed blushed a deep ruby shade at the request and was frozen for a moment. A few things ran through his mind that could happen after Al's cloths were removed before he shook them away.
"Please, I'm hot." Al said rubbing his hot face.
Ed who was a little nervous, helped Al sit up then took hold of his shirt slipping it over his head. He then let Al lay on the bed again and he began to take Al's pants of. His hands were a little shaky as he unbuttoned the leather pants and pulled the zipper down slowly. His hands so close to the flesh he secretly wanted to touch. He pulled at the pants nearly sliding off the boxer briefs under them. He discarded the pants and ran his eyes slowly over the bear sweaty skin of Al's stomach and chest then up to his face which was resting now. Seeing Al in the tight boxer briefs which hugged his pelvis richly suddenly made his hormones go crazy. The sudden arousal was like a wave engulfing him completely. He found him self reaching out to tough the bare skin in front of him. His fingers were only inches from the firm yet soft stomach muscle just below the navel area. Al stirred a bit in his sleep which snapped Ed out of his daze. He pulled his hand back quickly and stood up.
"Goodnight." He said walking to his bed and laying down. He fell asleep repeating to him self that Al was his brother.
