Love me tender. --- Chapter two.

In two months, Edward had managed to take the Prosthetics and robotics area by storm. The ideas the rather short genius came up with were shattering and amazing. The young man had been laughed at in the beginning. But soon, he had shut them all up and brought the department up in leaps and bounds.

Rather impressed with Edwards work, and the excitement he brought to the said area, Roy made sure they had the necessary funding. Giving anything and everything to avoid the blonde genius. When avoiding didn't work, he gave the man the cold shoulder in hopes Edward would get the wrong impression.

Edward didn't mind it at all. With Mustang avoiding him at times and then giving him a cold shoulder, he figured he wouldn't have to trade his body for funding. So, he was happily working his ass off to learn more about various robotics and prosthetics, trying to go this route first to find the thing that would aid his brother.

Schezka blinked as she pushed the bridge of her glasses up further on her nose. "What is that your working on ed?" she asked

Edward looked up and over at the woman. She was truly amazing. She could memorize whole books after reading them once. "I'm trying to come up with something for spinal cord injuries."

"Can't you use the same kind of metal used on the cyborg's spinal cord. the metal doesn't deteriorate and a human with such problem wouldn't experience anything negative. the body shouldn't attack the metal or reject it at all. ..sort of like they use those metal disks to replace the damaged vertebrae disks."

"I've tried that... but for some reason the neural connections won't work on a completely mental spine. We need a new type of material that will work with it."

She tapped her foot "what..about asking Roy for more funding so we can find a new material?" she offered "I was going to suggest synthetic bones, that could support the neural connections...but i dont know how that'd be possible or where to get such."

Edward thought about it, even as his left hand rubbed over his right wrist. "I think there is a way, but more funding is certainly necessary. I'll fill out the appropriate papers for it and send it up and see what comes of it."

Schezka nodded "Alright, well, I'm going to lunch." she gestured at the clock. "aren't you hungry?"

Edward held up a brown bag. "I've got food."

The girl looked a bit disappointed with Ed's response "ah... well. enjoy your meal.. dont work too hard." she commented before leaving the room heading to the cafeteria. Her head hung a bit, and shoulders slumped.

Edward filled out the proper papers and sent them up, even as he ate and worked at the same time. He couldn't ignore the feeling that something was missing, but he didn't want to just step away from work. His best work came when he was a little hungry and feeling over worked. He knew the girl was flirting with him, he just... didn't look at women like that.

Not having the most pleasant day. Roy frowned when he received yet another funding request from the prosthetic and robotics team, on top of just about every other area in the facility. he went through the paperwork deciding which ones needed the funding more than others. Just to get a bit of fresh air, as well as to get out of the rather gloomy office, he delivered each funding notice personally. When he reached the prosthetic and robotics lab, he calmly entered the room. and placed the declination of funding down in front of Edward.

Edward looked at it and frowned, looking up at him. "I take it us making leaps and bounds over the other areas means we've outlived our funding grants?" he asked, golden eyes serious.

Roy looked at him "Actually it has nothing to do with that. it has everything to do with everyone requesting funding within the past 24 hours, your section is not the only one that got declined. I just thought some of the reasons for the other grants were far more important than your request."

While Edward mentally fumed at the thought that helping cure quadriplegic people was less important, he didn't say anything to show his anger. "I see. Well, we'll keep working as best we can then," he murmured.

Roy ran his fingers through his hair. "Have you ever noticed when your angry your eyes light up just a bit?" he asked "you could always yell at me elric, after all no one else is around. and wont be for..awhile. Holding everything inside is bad for your health, physically and mentally...but.. you know that already dont you?" he sighed "why dont you yell and scream and say how you truly feel so it'll make you feel refreshed, and your work performance would greatly improve"

"There's nothing wrong with my performance and the last thing I'm gonna do is yell at my boss. You've rejected the funding. I'm certain it'll happen more times than not. I'll survive."

pursing his lips mustang scoffed. "You're something else." he murmured lowly, as he took his time walking away from the younger man.

Edward turned slightly. "I'm something else? I'm not the one acting like a child and either avoiding the new guy or else giving him the cold shoulder," he replied in a huff, wanting to control himself but finding his pet peeve was setting him off.

"I'm not acting like a child, I recognized you for your work and give you the funding you need. Thus is my job as your boss, what more could you possibly want?"

"I don't want anything. But if having you avoid this department for over a week is normal, then I'm sorry I said anything," he replied, knowing he was right. Everyone in the department said he was down every two days to check on their progress. Since Ed started... he'd been down about three times, counting this one.

"I accept your apology." Mustang commented coolly "keep up the good work."

Mentally Edward debated wither or not he should let all the air out of this man's tires. He then focused on his work, figuring that if he wanted to ignore him, then he could do the same.

Roy moved so his face was rather close to eds. his lips were just barely brushing against the youngers. "i said...keep up the good work...Edward.." he said softly studying his employee for a second and not even comprehending himself how he could go from the icy and apathetic demeanor to.. a down right..lustful one. it bothered him, he figured the lust and desire he had for the blonde would dissipate...but instead...it grew..stronger..to the point he could see himself...just..fucking the man anywhere.. no matter who was around.

Edward looked up at him, his gold eyes staring right into Roy's. "Thank you sir, I will," he replied, not fully giving the other man what he wanted. He wouldn't give away his feelings. Especially not to someone like this.

unsatisfied mustang gently grabbed ahold of ed's metallic hand and pressed it to his lips "You really are something else." he whispered softly his eyes filled with the want and desire. as well as the determination to get exactly what rather who he wanted

Edward was grateful he hadn't fixed all the sensors in his false arm when he watched Roy take it and start to press kisses into it. He had fixed the heat cords, but apparently, just seeing the other man kiss his skin was enough to make his breathing hitch. "I'm sorry I'm displeasing to you."

"Now why would you think that you are displeasing to me?" he asked as he pulled ed into his lap, making the blonde straddle him while he kissed his employee's neck

Edward closed his eyes, finding his whole body tingle. "Well, in the fact I don't react as you wish me to," he replied, not understanding why he didn't mind this man's touch, even when he knew it wasn't because Roy cared for him. The man could care less.

Licking and nipping on Edwards neck, Roy moaned hotly before focusing his attention on the mans ears, he licked along the outer rim, "Just seeing you makes me.react in ways I dont want to." he whispered hotly through the moans and panting. Slowly bucking his hips upward he let ed feel his arousal.

Edward couldn't help but gasped, feeling that heat against himself and unable to control the answering arousal at it. "Its... simple. Keep me busy... and keep avoiding me... and you won't... have to react that... way."

the elder held him firmly moaning hotly. he slid his hand down ed's pants his fingers wrapped around his length and began stroking it gently as he rubbed his own hard on against the young mans ass, and kissed his neck and shoulder "I can't help it." he panted heavily "it's not that simple.. its far...far more complicated...i want to make you scream my name...i want you to see heaven...i want to take you there." he panted stroking him firmly

"Okay my funding... and you can do whatever you wish," Edward panted out, figuring he could play this game. He leaned in, moaning sexually into Roy's ear before licking the rim of it, finding small whimpers and groans passing his lips with each touch.

Roy smiled a bit "Let me go get that funding for you.." he whispered, lying through his teeth. he got up and walked out of the room, as if nothing had happened in there, and resumed his own work, in his office.

Edward sighed, his breathing shuddering slightly. Damn that man. He was fairly certain Mustang wasn't going to do anything about the funding. Honestly, a part of Edward was depressed over the thought while the other was glad he wouldn't. If he got physically involved with his boss, it would only cause problems. It really was better this way. Running a shaking hand through his hair, he turned to focus back on his work, ignoring his aroused body until it gave up and relaxed as well.

Schezka ran inside extremely excited "ed. guess what?! we got approved for the funding!" she chimed happily. "so...what are we going to do now?" she asked seriously "are we going to be looking into the synthetic neural acceptable bones?"

Edward couldn't help but freeze at those words. Was Mustang serious? Why would he change his mind? Was fucking him really that important to the man? It just didn't seem possible. Yet he had something else to deal with now. "Well, we'll have to get the synthetic material that can handle being inside of a body and then test it with the neural patterns and pathways that run through it."

"Sounds like an excellent plan." the girl began gathering the books and searching through them for specific neural patterns that may help Ed.

"I'm glad you approve of it," Edward replied, glad the girl was so easy to work with.

"Of course I approve. After all it makes more sense that way." she chimed ecstatically, she then looked at Edward "is there something bothering you... you didn't seem so thrilled when I told you that our funding was approved."

Edward shook his head. "I was just surprised. I got the message saying that it wasn't accepted."

Schezka looked a bit troubled "Oh...you applied for a fund as well?" she murmured "I thought..that I'd save you some trouble and apply for the funding. and got an approved notice.

Edward blinked, staring at her. "You sent one up as well? And it was approved?" he asked, feeling his mind begin to race with ideas. That... fucking bastard! He'd purposely teased and played with Edwards mind, even when he already knew that the funding was okay'd, just at Schezka's request, not his own.

"Well yeah," the girl whispered timidly 'did you not want me to?" she pushed her glasses up on her nose yet again, a continuous nervous habit of hers. "Maybe you should talk to.. Miss Riza." she suggested "you dont look so thrilled about the funding.. is there a problem?"

Edward quickly schooled his features. "No, that isn't it. I just wish you had told me you were going to submit it."

"I am so sorry! I just wanted to surprise you. I know.. I'll go talk to Mr. Mustang." she said before getting up and running out of the room. A short while after schezka ran off she brought mustang back with her. "Ed..show him what your working on.. he's interested and wants to know what we're working on."

Edward raised a single eyebrow at those words. "Is that so? Well, then by all means, boss, come look and learn," he said. He then began telling him all about his ideas and how he wanted to be able to restore a severed spinal cord.

Roy walked over and listened to ed while listening to him explain how they were going to heal quadriplegic people. He looked at Ed after fully listening. "The person who helped your friend, would be your best bet to go along these lines." he said "doesn't your friends arm and leg have sensation even though the limbs themselves are metal?..Couldn't you do that with the spinal cord?"

Edward nodded. "Yes. As long as everything is connected right, they can."

"Im sure it's not a problem, I'm sure you know the central nerve system fairly well."

"I've come to learn it very well"

Chuckling, Roy turned his head looking at the young blonde "I'm sure you have." he whispered sultrily into the mans ear. He purposely let his lips linger in front of ed's ear, his hot breath caressing it.

"You are a liar," he hissed softly to him, so that only he could hear it and not the woman in the room.

"How am I a liar?'' Mustang asked softly

"You said you rejected the funding," Edward remarked

"I did, but only because you two both applied for a grant."

"I see. You didn't feel obligated to tell me that?"

Schezka watched the two of them interact and began feeling very uncomfortable herself. She quietly slid out of the room leaving the two men to their disturbingly quiet conversation. "I felt as if you should communicate better to avoid such discrepancies in the future.. obligation..nah." mustang murmured

"I see. Then I'll just have to never take you at your first word until I hear something else"

Grabbing ahold of ed, the elder pinned him to the desk, and slid behind him pressing his groin firmly against the blondes ass. He rocked his hips teasingly and licked the back of eds ear. "actions do speak louder than words..dont you agree?"

Edward gasped, even as he closed his eyes. "They do. They speak of a lawsuit should someone see this going on while I'm supposed to be at work"

You dont mind...do you?" Roy asked as he kissed his way from the back of ed's ear to the crook of his neck sucking on it. "mmm you taste...so good." he drawled huskily

"I... wouldn't mind so much... if we were... somewhere other than here."

Pulling away Mustang gently grabbed ahold of ed's hand "We'll go to my office then."

"Is that safe, while I should be working?"

"...Of course it's safe.. or are you just stalling.. do you not want to?" he asked looking a bit confused

"I didn't say I didn't."

Smirking, Roy led Edward back to his office. Or attempted to. When they stepped onto the elevator and got half way there. He hit the stop button before turning to the petite blonde. The first thing he did however was reach around and removed the hair tie from the blonde's hair. "you look so much better with your hair down."

Edward felt his pulse pick up at the closeness. "This is going... to be rather telling... and leaving my hair down isn't in the guidelines for work."

"Which makes it even better, because then only I can see you ..like this." the raven haired man pulled his employee close and leaned down, pressing his lips against the others'. He slipped his tongue into Ed's mouth groaning hotly as his tongue attempted to persuade Elric's to join in.

Edward's did join in, almost as if battling for dominance.

Mustang's breathing became labored and his pants sported a rather telling sign of his arousal. Paying that no mind he continued kissing the younger male, his tongue quickly gliding and swirling around the blondes as he tasted him, then devoured him. Just one little kiss wasn't cutting it anymore, his body wanted more. He couldn't get the man off of his mind...as as much as the said male responded to sexual contact, Roy decided he wouldn't go away with nothing this time.

Edward was trembling slightly in the taller mans arms, panting against his lips, even as he returned each lust-filled kiss. God... this was driving him nuts. If he was going to do something, he needed to do something.

Sliding his hands up the back of Edwards shirt, Roy licked his lips and groaned at just how soft his skin was. Not wasting anymore time, he quickly discarded ed's shirt and hastily removed his pants as well as any undergarment. Kneeling down he lustfully looked at the blondes length before licking the tip of Edwards penis.

Edward cried out, his golden eyes growing wide at the hot touch of his tongue.

Enjoying the noises his partner was making, Mustang slowly took more of the hard organ into his mouth. His tongue wrapped around the stiff length, gently kneading every inch. Wanting to hear more of Ed's voice, Roy brought his right hand up and began massaging Edwards sac.

Edward felt one knee shiver as pleasure washed over him making him twitch. "G... God..."

Moving his left hand up, the elder man slid it along the back of ed's knee all while engulfing his cock completely and sucking firmly on it as if it were a delicious lollipop.

Edward began to press up into his mouth, a hand coming up to run his fingers through his hair, urging him to move on him more.

Moaning heatedly, Roy moved his left hand from the back of ed's knee up to the blondes lips, his fingertips gliding along them as he silently asked for Edward to coat them, while he continued pleasing him

Ed parted his lips, sucking on them eagerly, even as he began to press his hips deeper into Roy's hot mouth.

Moving his fingers from ed's mouth once he felt that they were lubricated enough, the elder man slipped them in between the blonde's legs, teasingly rubbing ed's pucker before slowly pushing his middle finger into him. Groaning and sucking harder at the tightness and heat that captured his digit. Roy felt his own length twitch in anticipation, as well as his entire body seemingly being consumed by the lust.

Edward whimpered, shifting on that finger, feeling as if he was hard and patine. It was hard to remain standing, the pleasure washing over him was almost too much to take. It was amazing, the feelings washing over him.

pulling away momentarily Roy sought to accommodate Edward by making him more comfortable. He guided the blonde to lay down on his back, before continuing where he left off. Gradually working that middle finger in and out of Edward, searching all around for that sweet spot, hoping to drive the man over the edge. Just to let him have a small taste of the euphoria he could bring to him

Edward groaned, arching against him with each move and caress. "God... don't... stop."

Adding his index and ring finger into the tight passage way, mustang gently stretched him, panting heavily and sucking harder, his head bobbing at a faster pace than earlier.

Edward pulled on his hair slightly. "S... Stop... before... I cum before you..."

Heeding ed's request, Roy pulled back and looked at him shivering a bit. He removed his clothes and looked at ed. "Do you want to get me wet?" he asked huskily "or do you want it now?"

"It'll hurt if its... now," he replied, before shifting and moving to take the length into his mouth, to suckle it and make it moist.

Roy reached out and tangled his fingers in the silky blonde locks, pulling gently on them. "fuck...yes." he moaned hotly while bucking up into the hot Orpheus

Once he was soaking, he smiled. "Good?"

Nodding, the elder moved back and slid himself in between eds legs yet again. the tip of his penis slowly pressing into the blonde. He kissed him deeply, groaning as he fought the urge to just embed himself in the glorious heat.

Edward gasped, closing his eyes. "G... God... your... so... big."

"You..you're so tight..." Mustang moaned "mmm fuck..yeah.." licking his lips as he rocked his hips to and fro until he was completely inside of Edward

Edward winced and gasped, taking the length inside, even as he felt like he was pulled tight. "You... really... are... big..."

Roy looked at him concerned "Are you alright? It's not hurting you is it?"

"Its... tight and tense... but I'm not... in pain."

Giving the blonde a quick peck on the lips, mustang waited a few minutes, allowing ed the time to adjust before rolling his hips yet again. Slowly pulling out and thrusting back into him, moaning hotly. His brow turned up into pure bliss "mmm god yes.." he panted. He shifted his hips a little bit, causing the head of his cock to hit ed's prostate. "mmmg come on baby.." he whispered to ed huskily. while nibbling on his ear "let me hear your voice."

Edward cried out at the feeling of that hot, hard, length pressing up into him, working his prostate. "Your... amazing," he panted, rocking against him, finding nothing but pleasure in this mans actions.

Roy smiled against the younger mans neck before kissing the corner of his mouth. He placed a hand on each of the blondes hips holding him still while he began increasing the pace, panting heavily against Edwards chest as he did so, His skilled tongue worked each nipple, the same so neither was neglected, or less hard. "ungh Edward..." he moaned "god...your so tight..." he panted

"I... I'm rather... small... you know..." he panted back, even as he rocked against him.

"Yes..but your body molds perfectly against my own..that's what I like." he chuckled. moving a hand from one of ed's hips he wrapped his fingers around the blonde's length stroking him in time with his thrusts.

Edward whimpered, even as he groaned and panted. "I... don't know... if I can... hold on... much longer."

"i..i...can't." Roy choked out as his thrusts became nothing more than quick rapid jerks of his hips, his hand gripped eds length firmly, but not too firm as to where it'd inflict pain upon him, he slammed his cock into the blonde's prostate repeatedly moaning hotly his back arching slightly, as he neared his own orgasm.

Edward screamed, arching back, even as he panted and came, his whole body shaking and his ass closing around his cock

Groaning lowly, Mustang muffled any screams of his own by gently biting down on the slender shoulder dip of the petite blond beneath him. His eyes fluttered closed when he felt his hot seed pour into the tight canal. "fuck..." he whispered almost inaudibly into eds ear.

Ed whimpered, closing his eyes. "Damn... that was... rather... intense..."

"...Yes...it was."

We shouldn't... keep the elevator held much... longer."

"No...we shouldn't." Roy responded hesitantly pulling out of ed. he grabbed a handkerchief cleaning ed up a little bit, along with himself before he dressed and straightened himself out to look as if nothing had happened.

Ed moaned, wincing, even as he dressed once more and fixed his hair.

Mustang watched Ed and sighed softly. Once they were both ready he pulled the stop button back allowing the elevator to move yet again.

"I guess going to your office isn't necessary now... right?" he asked, pressing the button for the floor before his.

"your more than welcome to relax and rest in my office, I know your ass has to be hurting."

"I have work to get back to... and a grant in our budget to earn."

"I see.." clearing his throat Roy relaxed back against the railing in the elevator. "get to it then..." he murmured.

Edward nodded. "Yes, boss," he replied, even as he stepped off on the floor he pushed and moved to get back to his office.

Before he walked out of the elevator Roy kissed him gently, then shoved him out. Pressing the 'close door' button continuously in hopes that the elevator doors would close quicker, he then proceeded to go to his office. plopped down in his chair and sighed heavily. "I wonder if my lust will subside..for him." he muttered to himself

Edward wondered what that last kiss was about. It was just sex, right? Not anything special. There was no way it could have been.
