Chapter Five: Exposed
Ed was half asleep when the phone ran. He jumped and fell to the floor. He sat up looking around to stopping the ringing noise. Winry picked up the phone just as Ed reached for it from the floor. Ed listened to Winry as she talked on the phone. Ed was almost falling back asleep in the spot he fell at on the floor. He could barely hear her laughter as the phone conversation came to a close. Al sipped a cup of tea watching Ed drifting to sleep in a weird position on the floor. Winry hung the phone up and squealed like a school girl over a rumor. If Ed was on the couch he would have fell off again. Al watched her from behind his cup.
"Sciezka is invited to a party and she is afraid to go alone so she is inviting me!" Winry said hugging a pillow.
"Wonderful." Ed said crawling back onto the couch sounding very unenthused about it.
"We have to bring a date silly." Winry said pointing a finger at him. Ed blinked a little surprised.
"Who me! Well what if I don't want to go?" Ed said crossing his arms
"Too bad!" Winry smiled. Al laughed a little as she shook her finger at Ed.
"Al you are going, Sciezka needs a date too." Winry said. Al's eyes widened and he faintly blushed.
The party seemed to be a big deal for Winry. She made sure Ed and Al were ready on time and they left in plenty of time to get to where ever it was held at. First stop was to pick up Sciezka. She seemed like she would have a panic attack from being so nervous. Winry explained that parties were no big deal and she should just have fun.
"But I've never been to a party before." Sciezka said blushing.
"Not to worry you are with three party experts! Right Ed?" Winry said shooting a glance at him.
"Sure, so where is this party anyway?" Ed said coolly. Sciezka read the address of her paper. Ed was startled realizing where they were headed. Al realized it too.
"What is it Ed?" Winry asked.
"I just didn't know we were going to the General's house for a party." Ed said
"General Mustang?" Winry asked
"Yeah."
"How do you know where he lives?" Winry asked
"We've been to one of his parties." Ed said.
"Really? Are they boring?" Winry asked. Ed and Al looked at each other trying not to laugh.
"Actually I think that's the first party Al ever got smashed at." Ed laughed while Al blushed.
"He enjoys buying us a lot of alcohol." Al said slightly embarrassed.
Indeed the party was similar to the first one they went too. Nearly all of Roy's sector of the military was there. Again Ed and Al seemed to be two of the most popular there. They seemed to strike up better conversations then anyone. Al seemed to handle the drink a lot better then the first time. Roy insisted everyone have a good time as well as drink which Ed didn't mind. Sciezka finally gave in to a drink and soon she loosened up but by her third drink she was cut off even by Roy for being the lightest weight drinker there. She was completely drunk. Somehow an alchemizing game got started. Every alchemist in the room that wanted to try took turns alchemizing the object named by the previous player which wasn't as easy as it sounded when you had been drinking all night.
"Scissors."
"Arright." Ed said clapping his hands and placing them firmly on the chunk of wood. It warped for a second before forming its shape to look like scissors.
"HA!" Ed cheered proud of his funny shaped scissors.
"Good job Nnissan!" Al said. Ed slid the wood over to Al.
"Bicycle." He said. Al took the wood and gave a clap before alchemizing the wood. It formed too large and it was missing a wheel. Everyone including Al laughed.
"U'm not as guudd." Al said.
"Loos like he needss anotthher drinnk." Roy said. Al passed the wood to the next person.
"Lesse you try a bicycle." Al said. Ed watched as everyone else took their turn. Most couldn't make anything close to the object they tried for. It was nearly Ed's turn again when Winry grabbed him and pulled him up off his seat.
"I need your help." She said dragging him away.
"Wait…Winry…!" Ed protested but she continued to drag him away. She stopped in front of the bathroom.
"I need you to help me get Sciezka home." Winry said. Before Ed could question her she opened the door to the bathroom revealing Sciezka huddled over the toilet. Ed's mouth dropped open. Winry helped stand her up while Ed stood there for a minute.
"A little help Ed?" Winry said. Ed took the other side helping Sciezka walk.
"She isn't going to.." Ed began.
"No I think she is done." Winry said. Its not as if Ed wasn't intoxicated himself, but Sciezka really needed to get to a bed and sleep it off. They got her to the car fairly fast but Ed had to go back inside to find Al. He found him trying to refuse yet more liquor from the General.
"Sorry we gotta leave." Ed said pulling Al up. He was thankful Ed new how to make an exit. Ed helped him to the car too and they both collapsed in the back seat.
The two in the back laughed about the game and the funny way their alchemy looked since they were drunk. They were talking and laughing so loud is was making Winry laugh.
"You two are nuts!" She kept saying. Finally after getting Sciezka safely home they arrived home too. Ed and Al headed to their room. Ed kicked off his shoes and pulled off his shirt. He rubbed his eyes and looked up seeing Al taking off the leather pants that he once again borrowed from him.
"Thhatt was a lot of fun wazn'it Nisan?" Al said. Ed blinked at him and looked away. He didn't want to start to feel those feeling Al gave him. Al watched Ed as he began to stare a hole in the floor.
"Yeah…fun." Ed said quietly.
"Nisan?"
"Yes?" Ed didn't look up at him.
"Is something wrong?"
"Its nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay." Ed started to pull back the covers to his bed.
"Nisan?"
"What?"
"You never told me why you avoided me those days." Al said. Ed didn't answer at first.
"It wasn't your fault." Ed said looking up and immediately wishing he hadn't. Al's eyes were pleading to him almost. The wonderful gray depths like a gray rain cloud under the sun. Ed sighed.
"I want to know."
"Al…I can't tell you." Ed said
"Why not?" Al asked
"Because I'm afraid. No one will understand." Ed said trying to pull his eyes away from the gray eyes.
"I will." Al said
"No Al. I can't."
"Please." Ed stood up and turned him self around so he wouldn't have to look at those eyes.
"No one will understand or accept the way I feel." Ed said. A hot blush crossed his face as he felt arms wrap around his waist. Ed looked down to see Al sitting on his bed hugging him.
"You don't have to be scared. I want to know what is it that you are feeling." Al said. Ed sank down to the bed. He heart was racing. His face and ears grew hotter. Al's warm body was still holding him.
"Al……" Ed began as his mind seemed to float away slowly. "…I love you." Ed said. Al smiled.
"I love you too Nisan." Al said innocently. Ed shook his head.
"No Al. Not love as my brother. I love you more then that. I can't help the way I feel." Ed said looking down at Al. Al seemed to be confused. His innocent ash yellow colored eyes drew closer to Ed. His mind wasn't there. His action all seemed to come from his heart as Ed leaned closer to Al's lips.
"I love you Al." Ed said as his eyes slid shut as their lips met.
