Drabble one – Ticklish.

The Silicosis scan was approaching fast. Ed was not happy. He was not happy that he had to be checked. He was not happy that the only way he would not get checked, is if a guardian informed the nurse that he was not to be checked. He was not happy that everyone said that Roy would be best called his guardian. He was not happy that Roy found it incredibly funny and said he was to be checked. All in all, Ed was not a happy bunny. At ALL. However, he had also been told that he could do nothing about it. Turns out, Al had agreed with the Flame Alchemist that Ed should be checked. Luckily, Riza thought it was a bad idea, as the Nurse would be checking the shoulders and hips, which she couldn't possibly do. Unfortunately, she was the only one, and not her 'guardian'. Ed came to the decision, that it was all Mustangs' fault. The guy was out to get him.

Roy was amused, to say the least. However, he was also curious to why the blonde objected so much. He planned to find out. Ed outright refused to tell him anything. The blonde sat on the couch in the office, arms and legs folded grumpily, and a clear look of distaste on his face. Roy smiled at this, no matter how strong or grown-up the teenager tried to be, he was still always cute in the end. 'TEENAGER' Roy reminded himself. Standing, he walked to his door, Full metal immediately behind him.

"Where are you going?" He asked. The whole situation was like this, as Ed had sworn not to leave the older man alone until he said Ed didn't need a check up. Roy smirked.

"The bathroom, not going to follow me there too are you?" Ed blushed and stormed back to the chair, setting himself down again, pouting childishly. Roy had to leave the room that instant. He walked to the outside of the building, where the younger of the brothers sat, as always. Looking up, the brother couldn't help ask.

"What do you want, sir?" Roy smiled slightly.

"Why does Full metal not like Nurses so?" Al looked back to the steps. "I won't laugh, I'm just curious." The brother nodded.

"When he was smaller, Mother was worried about his height," Roy raised a fine eyebrow. "And so took him to the doctors. The doctor said he would only grow to be 5 foot. He's very embarrassed about it, though I tell him not to be." Roy looked down.

"I'd be embarrassed if I was told I'd only grow to be 5 foot. Though … I bet he just doesn't want everyone else to find out. So he doesn't want to see the nurse." Al nodded in agreement. "Still, it's for his own good." The Flame alchemist stood and strode back into the building, straight to his office. The check-ups needed doing as soon as possible. Alphonse looked after him.

"But…that's not the only reason…"

"FULL METAL!" A few shots. Some yelling. Some diving. "You need to see the nurse!" Roy entered his study to find Riza, gun in hand, pointing at his desk. The situation didn't need explaining. Putting a hand on the woman's shoulder, he nodded/ she stepped back and put her guy away. Roy coughed. No reaction.

"Shrimp."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT A NEEDLE CAN EVEN SURPASS HIM IN HEIGHT?" screeched the youngest occupant in the room. Before he knew it, he'd been scooped up into two strong arms, and was quickly being taken out of the room. When what was happening registered, he blushed hard and froze. Roy was … carrying him. When he was finally put down, he tried to run as fast as he could. However, Roy was one step ahead of him, and wrapped his arms around the boy, once again, getting a hard blush and a frozen Ed. He could've laughed if the boy wasn't so cute.

"Ed," He addressed the boy, making the blush more dominant. Roy turned him and pushed him forward. A few men where in the room, shirtless and watching the two. "The Nurse is here for your spine. Not your height." A clear round of cursing and shouting set off. Everybody saw that one coming. The nurse seemed kind. Ed took off the red coat and black shirts. Roy HAD to admire that body. The nurse put her hands on Ed's shoulders, and hips. Roy looked the boy in the face as he squeaked. He watched the boy's face carefully as the nurse turned him round and got him to bend over. She ran a hand down his smooth, well toned back. His face twisted, half in a frown, half in a smile. When her hands rested on his hips, he lost it, he laughed, in a painful and short laugh. He bit down on his lip. The nurse finished and smiled at the short boy.

"That's all." She announced. Ed grabbed his clothes and shoved them back on messily. Roy followed him, catching up as fast as he could and ran hi fingers along the boy's sides. He laughed. Hard.

"You're … ticklish." The elder said. Ed frowned and tried to run, only to have himself pinned to the floor, dead in a tickle attack. Tears ran down his checks as his sides started to ache. He hated the man. He hated him so much. The one on top eventually stopped, looking down into joyful golden eyes. The gap seemed to close on it's own accord, as he hadn't planned on briefly kissed a teenager. And said teenager hadn't planned on kissing some ass-wipe. And if they did, neither of them planned on Riza firing her gun and demanding that Roy took the TB shot he'd been avoiding for a good few years.

When Fullmetal heard this, he DID plan on getting his revenge.

Kitty: my first FMA fiction. Taken from school today when I had to be checked for scoliosis … I also was afraid of being tickled, and traumatized from being take to the doctors for height deficiencies…there wasn't anything wrong with me though, but I wasn't going to grow very tall --;

Anyway, I've got chapters mapped out, and I'm going to try update as soon as possible. Reviews would be nice
