Authors note: Sorry for the wait! I have been so busy with school and I haven't really gotten any time to write. I'm not abandoning it though if you thought that, I'm not planning on that either. I'm also sorry that the chapter it's pretty short, but I wanted you all to at least get something at last.

I also decided to stop writing whom I'm writing about (if you understood that.) I'm just going to stop writing who's POV it is; I'll let you understand who I'm writing about for yourselves. I also want to write thoughts in italics. I'm so sorry if this will confuse you, but I like it better. It would be nice if I could get some reviews on this, just so I know if you like it better or not.

Anyway, Hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Same as before, RoyEd would've happened in the series if I owned Fullmetal alchemist!

Chapter 5

"Can we leave already?" He was sick of waiting for his discharge from the hospital. Dr. Knox was literally giving Roy all sorts of medication and stuff for his own well-being. He didn't need all that stuff, he didn't, it wasn't like he was crazy or anything!

Roy obviously thought so; he was the one who asked Knox for the extra medication after all. Roy was being too overprotective, Ed didn't need Roy to take care of him; he could do that for himself.

Roy turned from where he stood beside Knox in the middle of the room and shot a small smile at Ed. "Just a minute, Ed," Roy said, turning his attention back to Knox again.

He sighed and flopped himself onto the bed. He had a feeling Roy was going to use more than a minute, no, he knew Roy was going to use more time. He just wanted to get out of this God-forsaken place; he wanted real food and a real bed right now.

To his big surprise, Roy said, "Okay, I'm done. Are you ready to leave?" Knox had apparently left the room without him noticing, and he saw Roy walking over to him with a big grin plastered on his face.

"Something amusing you, Mustang?" He wasn't in the mood for Roy's teasing now, he really just wanted to sleep, or eat, or maybe both.

Suddenly, Roy pinned his arms down, leaving Roy's face just centimeters from his own. He gulped and said, "You couldn't even wait with that before we came to your place?"

"I couldn't resist, you just look so cute," Roy said with an innocent smile.

Ed was sure his face had all the different shades of red at this point. He tried to bury his face as good he could down in the bed, but it wasn't as easy as he thought it would. "I'm not cute, bastard," he murmured in the sheets.

"Oh, but you are cute, Ed," Roy said while leaning down, stealing a kiss from him.

He opened his mouth and let Roy's tongue enter. It felt he was going to melt any second, but he felt uneasy at the same moment for some reason. He chose to ignore it, probably just some nerves.

Roy moved down to his neck and began kissing him there. His body went completely stiff, it just seemed too familiar; he was afraid. Roy seemed to take notice in his change, making him stop what he was doing.

Realization seemed to crawl in Roy, and he quickly released his grip on Ed's wrists. "I'm so sorry, I should have thought of my actions," Roy said with his eyes fixed on the floor.

I'm an complete idiot! Now he's sad because of me. He hopped off the bed and went over to Roy. "It's okay. Really," Ed reassured him. "It's not your fault."

Roy shook his head several times before saying, "But it is my fault, Ed! I... I should have known better."

Okay, now he was becoming slightly irritated with Roy. If he said it wasn't Roy's fault, then it wasn't, end of that discussion.

He sighed lightly and wrapped his arms around Roy's torso. "It's not your fault, Roy," he said, nuzzling his face in Roy's chest. "You understand?"

He felt Roy's arms wrap themselves around him as well. "Yes," Roy mumbled in his hair.

"Good," Ed said while he drew away from Roy's moving chest, now looking up in his eyes. "Do you think we could leave now? I'm pretty tired. I also want some real food"

He earned a light chuckle from Roy. "Of course, Ed, but I have to warn you; my cooking skills are amazing," Roy said proudly.

"Well, I certainly hope so. I'm starving!" he said before pecking Roy's cheek.

They stood there a while holding each other, but Ed was becoming hungry and tired, something Roy seemed to notice. Roy walked over to the bag with medication and the other items, picking it up as he began walking towards the door, motioning for Ed to follow.

"Whoa, it's huge!" Ed said, completely stunned from the sight before him.

"It's just a house, Edward," Roy said. "Calm down."

"Calm down? Just a house? It's a mansion!"

Ed strolled after Roy as he walked towards the front door. He stood excitingly behind Roy as he turned the key; he couldn't even begin imagining how it looked inside! Ed heard the click, and they walked inside. The sight that struck him was jaw dropping; it seemed even bigger inside. The living room were to their left, and there was a big kitchen to their right. Some distance before them were the staircase, leading up to the second floor. There were also a dozen of doors everywhere, which Ed didn't know what contained behind them.

Roy hung his jacket on a hook, and he hurried to do the same, following the man further in the house. He continued to look on all the different objects in the house; it just was so many! He heard Roy letting out a laugh, and he looked on him blushing like an idiot.

"What?" Ed asked. "Anyone would react this way if they saw your house."

"Yeah sure, Ed," Roy answered, still laughing lightly.

He let out a small laugh of his own, okay, maybe he was reacting funny. He was becoming more tired though, terrible tired actually. His tiredness was making his eyes dry and itchy, and he had a slight headache from the strain of staying awake. Maybe it was time for a nap, but he didn't know where the bedroom was, or which bedroom he was going to sleep in. He looked over at Roy, who was now standing in the kitchen making some food he guessed. The smell of egg and bacon hit his nose, and his mouth watered up in a second.

He walked over to the table and sat down; he couldn't help Roy when he was this tired anyway. He could probably have gone to sleep now, but since he was this hungry and Roy was making food for them, he couldn't exactly do that yet. He propped his elbow on the table and let his head rest on his hand.

"D... Ed?" He abruptly sat up in the chair, but the movement made him lose his balance and he fell to the floor. Roy hurried over to him, and Ed rubbed his eyes desperately trying to get the tiredness away. "Are you okay?"

He looked at Roy and smiled reassuringly. "I'm okay." His head hurt more than before, but he didn't want Roy worrying unnecessarily.

"That's a relief." Roy helped him up on his feet again, but he found his balance almost gone. He practically fell over again, but Roy saw this and quickly caught him.

He squeaked when Roy lifted him up bridal stile, but he was too tired to comment on it; he let his head fall onto Roy's shoulder, closing his eyes. His headache was even greater than before, and he didn't even want food anymore; he wanted this headache and tiredness to vanish in thin air.

Ed heard the bedroom door creak open, which made him wince due to his bad headache. It was terrible how his eyes couldn't stay open, and he felt himself starting to drowse.

He opened his eyes again, but now he was already in bed. He looked up at Roy, who was just about to close the door, knowing that he was truly thankful for the older man. He felt like he owned Roy so much after all the things he had done for Ed.

He let out a relieved sigh, he could finally sleep - and even better, in a proper bed. He turned slowly over to his side to make it more comfortable, but his head still throbbed pretty badly. He tensed a moment, but shortly after he eased down on the bed again. All he hoped now, was that he could get a nightmare-free dream. The nightmares were always terrible; he didn't want to be reminded about his time with Jason – it always made him feel sick and afraid.

Turning to his other side, he curled up like a ball as much as he could before finally closing his eyes. His breathing evened and it didn't take long before he was sound asleep. Ed didn't receive his wish as he had hoped though, it was much harder for him to escape Jason than he had though.
