"Why?" Edward could feel a blush spread over his face.

"Why not? You already said there's only two beds and it wouldn't be fair for Al to have to sit instead of sleep on a bed." Duo turned the sheets back on the bed and sat down.

Duo patted the spot next to him and waited for Edward to sit down. Edward sat down and was shocked when Duo leaned over and kissed him on his neck. He was also surprised by the sudden sensation between his legs when he felt Duo kiss him.

"What was that for?" Edward jumped up and took a few steps back.

Duo stood up after him, looking angry at Edward's reaction to the kiss. He walked out the door and left Edward and Alphonse by themselves.

"Brother, why did you do that?" Al asked referring to how Ed had tried to get away from Duo.

"I don't know... It's just I don't think I'm ready for such a foward approach. He keeps doing things without even thinking about what I really want out of it." Edward sat back down on the bed and dug through his suitcase to find something comfortable to sleep in.

"You should apologize Brother..." Alphonse sat on the other bed and hoped that it didn't break of anything.

"Why do I have to apologize when he keeps getting these mood swings. One minute he's happy, then he's sad, and then he's angry. I wish he would make up his mind!" Edward got up and kicked the suitcase shut before walking out the door.

Edward knew he would apologize even if he didn't want to. It was like him to be too nice to others.

"Duo!" Ed called into the bathroom before coming in.

To his surprise, Edward found Roy in the bathroom. Edward knew this was bad; Roy and him all alone where no one would find them. It was too perfect of an opprotunity for Roy to pass up.

"Hi Fullmetal." Roy grabbed Edward as he attempted to run and swung him around so he was pinned against the bathroom wall.

Roy used one hand to hold Edward's wrists together as he began unbuckling his belt. Edward resisted Roy and even atttempted to kick him, but Roy knew exactly what Ed would do. Since it was like all the other times Roy had done this.

"Remember, if you don't struggle... It won't hurt." Roy succeeded and slipped his hand into Edward's pants.

"No! Please Roy!" Edward could feel tears as Roy began groping him with an expert hand.

"This is payment for everything you and that Duo have put me through." Roy said Duo's name with such hatred.

Roy continued his abuse on Edward without even a second thought. When he finally got Edward to moan; he decided to change positions.

He turned Edward around and made Ed brace himself against the wall. He knew exactly how to humiliate the small alchemist, but was interrupted.

"You fucking bastard! Let him go!" Duo had somehow come upon them and had a gun drawn on the back of Roy's head.

Roy let Edward stop and he fell to the floor with exhaustion. Roy turned around with a smug smile on his face.

"You wouldn't shoot me."

Edward looked at Duo's eyes and found them empty and devoid of all emotion. Roy seemed to have noticed it as well, but was trying to see if it was just an act.

"You want to ask the other hundreds I've already killed?"

Duo showed no remorse or regret for what he had just said. Roy knew he wasn't bluffing by now and lost his confidence.

"Now, get out and if you ever touch him like that again... You don't even want to know what I'll do to you." Duo kept the gun pointed at Roy until he had left the bathroom.

Edward was scared of Duo; scared shitless was more the term. How could the guy Al and him had been hanging out with this whole time be this kind of monster?

Duo looked back down at Ed and had already put the gun away. His eyes were normal again and he kneeled next to Ed.

"Are you alright?" Duo didn't even seem to remember any of what he had just done.

Edward couldn't believe that Duo could act as if nothing had ever happened.

"Who are you really?" Ed pulled his pants back up and stood up.

"What do you mean?" Duo stood up also, and made sure not to corner Edward again.

"You don't remember any of what happened?"

Duo shook his head and embraced Edward. Edward could feel Duo's tears and lifted a hand to wipe them away. Then he kissed Duo on the cheek which made Duo loosen his grip on Ed to look at him.

"Can we get back to the room?" Duo asked as he let go of Edward.

"Yeah... and I wanted to say sorry for what happened. I mean how I acted and-" Edward was cut off by another kiss, but this time he returned it.

When Ed and Duo got back to their room; Alphonse had already fallen asleep. Duo and Edward both crawled into their shared bed and Duo wrapped an arm around Edward. This time Ed didn't pull away; he actually wanted to be held this time.

"Why did he do that to you?" Duo whispered and Edward snuggled a little closer to Duo.

"He's always been like that, and that's the whole reason I couldn't stay with him. It was all about sex for him, no love, and no compassion." Edward was completely pressed against Duo and could feel Duo's arm tightening his embrace.

"Oh... I'm sorry I had to make you remember such horrible things." Duo kissed Ed's neck and found Ed's hand gripping his hand he had wrapped around Duo.

Ed stared at the window and saw a group of shooting stars.

"Look! Shooting stars!" Edward felt Duo sit up on his elbow to see them.

"You should make a wish Ed."

"What if I want more than one wish?" Ed asked.

"There's more than one isn't there?" Duo smiled and kissed Edward on his lips one last time before lying back down and letting sleep claim him.
