Duo felt uncomfortable in the uniform, but tried his best to work with it. Ed and Al hadn't woken and it was already late morning, so he decided that he would wake them up. Hughes hadn't been able to deliver he clothes, but an officer did anyway.

Duo had also snagged one for Edward too, in case he wanted to get his clothes washed too. When he got a good look at himself, he actually thought the uniform looked somewhat good on him, and hoped Ed would think so too.

"Hey Ed, Al… Time to wake up!" Duo tapped Edward first but Al woke up without need of assistance.

After Ed had grumbled a few curses in Duo's direction he tried to put on the same clothes, but Duo snatched them away. "I got you a military uniform for now, so just where it until these get washed."

The little alchemist seemed to finally have realized that Duo was wearing a uniform as well. It seemed strange to see Duo in those clothes, but at the same time somewhat arousing. He would make sure to keep that to himself.

"You want me to wear that? You've got to be kidding…" He looked in disbelief as he was handed the smaller uniform and then noticed Duo had a strange look in his eye. "Give me a minute to change, you and Al go get breakfast."

As soon as the two of them left, Ed put on the uniform and gazed out the window down at the courtyard and noticed that the Fuhrer was taking a stroll. He didn't feel alarmed, but he did begin to pray that he and Duo didn't accidentally meet up. That was when he remembered about asking Duo what had happened to him last night.

"Shit, I've got to talk to him soon before he forgets about it too."

He rushed to open the door and was greeted by a picture of Elicia Hughes on a tricycle. Immediately after Hughes began to swoon over his daughter and distract Ed from getting to Duo.

"Lt. Colonel! I'm trying to- Are you listening to me?" Ed tried desperately to fight off the swarm of pictures, but Hughes was being very persistent today. It wouldn't have been so bad if Ed didn't need to talk to Duo about that important matter.

"Isn't she so cute! I'm so worried about her once she gets to be your age Ed! All the boys will be ogling her till no tomorrow!" After a few more minutes of the struggle between the two of them, Ed finally succeeded in sidestepping Hughes and being able to escape down to the cafeteria.

"Damn! What's his deal anyway?" Dismissing the thoughts of Hughes, he hurried to find out where Duo was.

Duo was joking with Al when suddenly Alphonse stopped and began saluting. Duo was surprised by Al's behavior and didn't notice the rows of men coming towards them with Fuhrer Bradley in the lead.

"So you are Duo Maxwell, am I right?" Bradley didn't seem annoyed by being completely ignored by Duo who was oblivious to the whole situation.

"Mr. Maxwell- " One soldier began to get Duo's attention when Duo snapped at him.

"What the hell do you want?" Most men were taken aback by what he said in the Fuhrer's face, but Bradley seemed calm as ever.

"I am Fuhrer Bradley, and am very pleased to meet you Mr. Duo Maxwell." He stuck out his hand to the dumbfounded Duo who finally remembered some of what Ed had tried to explain on the first day he arrived.

"Holy shit! I'm so sorry Fuhrer!" Duo couldn't have known that this man was the one who ran the whole country. He looked like an ordinary soldier except for all of the underlings that followed him around all day.

"That's alright, that's alright. I just wanted to meet our visitor for the first time while I'm not swamped with paperwork. You seem like a nice boy, and I hope you're enjoying your stay here." Duo noticed how he spoke of him appearing mysteriously as if he had come from another town and not another world. With a quick nod the whole group of them left the two boys alone in the hall and wondering why the Fuhrer had only wanted to see him and then pass him by.

Hughes smiled as he strolled along nonchalantly until he came to Roy's office. Then he entered without even knocking and came to a scene of Roy asleep on his desk. He rolled his eyes and thought of how much Roy reminded him of a young boy falling asleep in class.

"Colonel! We're being attacked by evil, sexy penguins! Why won't you wake up? Why?" Hughes began yelling in Roy's ear. Roy nearly fell out of his chair from being startled by the loud yelling in his ear.

"What the hell are you talking about Hughes? Evil, sexy penguins?"

Hughes shrugged and gave his friend a pat on the back, "Just didn't want you to sleep through the whole day."

Roy sighed and tried to wake himself up more before asking Hughes for the information he had asked him to snoop around for. Hughes seemed to be eager to say what he wanted to say before Roy even had time to say another word.

"The really did it last night, I mean they went the whole way!" Roy swallowed hard and began thinking about his new girlfriend; she should be the only one he thought about.

"How do you know exactly?"

"They were both wearing military uniforms, meaning their clothes were dirty, and that means they must have made a big mess." Hughes grinned at Roy's look of jealousy, knowing it would be quite a while before Roy ever truly gave up on Edward.

Sorry for no sex scenes, but I've only rated this about K + or T, so I can't have too much adult content. Still hope you enjoyed the chapter though!
