Pretty Little Bride Chapter 39: Don't Cry, a fullmetal alchemist fanfic

"Ready to go?" Havoc asked.

He slowly opened the door to the room he and Fuery shared and tapped on the doorway.

Havoc's eyes went large.

Fuery was almost completely naked except for a little wash cloth he had placed across his genitals in the slight hope of actually keeping it out of Havoc's sight.

Havoc put a hand to his eyes and tried not to laugh.

It was so cute, yet so wrong, yes so funny, yet so cute.

"What are you doing?" Havoc laughed out.

Fuery growled. "I thought I should wash everything before we leave."

Havoc fell against the wall laughing and slapped his forehead.

"You crack me up."

He then came to a conclusion.

"Did you walk down there in the buff?"

Fuery growled, "I had clothes when I went down there, thank you!"

Havoc then started laughing even harder and said, "So you came up in the buff?"

Fuery growled.

"So?"

Havoc's eyes went a little larger and he choked out, "Did... Mustang... did he... see...you?"

It was then Fuery's turn to laugh.

"No you nit! I was wearing a towel!", He yelled and threw the towel at him.

Havoc then erupted into a rather large fit of laughter and yelled out, "You had me going there."

Fuery laughed and said proudly, "Yes, I did."

He leaned his head against the wall and said, "If he had... I would've..."

He paused.

"I would've told Edward... then..."

He laughed at the thought and said, "I would've killed him."

Fuery laughed. "I would have too. No worries."

Havoc then got a thought.

"Hey Fuery…"

"Hm?"

"If I saw…" He paused.

"Would you kill me?"

Fuery laughed. "Maybe not kill you, but I would be pretty mad."

Havoc laughed. "Well, that's good."

He paused and laughed.

"I can risk that…"

Riza rolled her eyes as the door closed.

"'Bout damn time, Havoc…"

She then walked to Hughes' room and pressed her ear against the wood.

"I'm not wearing that!" Edward yelled.

"It looks like... I don't know. Like something a girl would wear!"

Roy laughed.

"I'm sorry Hughes, as cute as it may be, Fuery doesn't dress like a girl…"

Hughes made a sad face and sighed.

"I understand…"

Riza then slowly opened the door and said,

"Why not just put him in the uniform you idiots?"

Roy then laughed and put his hand into the snapping gesture.

Upon reflex, Edward grabbed the hand and yelled, "You idiot! You wanna fry us?"

Hughes then burst into laughter and said, "He doesn't have them gloves on!"

Roy laughed, "Don't you mean my "boom-boom" gloves?"

Hughes laughed even harder and fell against the wall, pulling Edward along with him.

"Poor Edward." Riza thought and began to walk off.

"Oh." She said as a lost thought.

She looked straight at Hughes and said while pointing to Havoc and Fuery's shared room, "Maybe we should make departure time a bit later umm…"

She paused and made a kissy face, then moved her hands around in a few strange gestures Edward had never seen before.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ed yelled.

Roy cupped Edward's face and said, "Ahh! The power of love!"

Hughes then put his hand on Ed's shoulder and said, "Yes! The power of love!"

Riza rolled her eyes and said, "Tomorrow it is." She then walked off, shaking her head in disgust.

"Men…"

Edward's eyes then went large and he choked.

"You... mean... them... and... now... I mean... right... now... they... hush... are... doing...it... them... in that room... right now…"

Hughes just laughed and said, "Oh yes! Isn't it beautiful?"

Roy snickered and said, "Bout time too…"

Edward felt as though he might faint and fell backward onto Hughes' bed. Slightly dragging Hughes along.

Roy felt Ed's head and said, "No fever, so you can't wimp out now."

Ed growled out sleepily and said, "Yes, I can."

Hughes brought his face pretty close to Edward's and said, "He's pretty tired, Roy"

Roy then opened the door to look down the hall at the clock and said, "Wow."

He then looked at Hughes and said, "I didn't think dress-up could make the time fly by so fast!"

Edward's tummy then grumbled and Roy laughed.

"Well, since Fuery is a bit… busy… I'll have to cook."

Edward felt as though he might die. "Oh god no. Please no."

Hughes laughed and nudged Roy's side with his elbow.

"He's actually a pretty good chef."

Ed rolled his eyes and said, "Coming from you, that means what?"

Hughes pouted and said, "Fine. You'll just have to see for yourself…"

Ed yawned and said, "I'd rather just go to bed…"

Roy looked down at the boy sympathetically and said, "You're going to at least eat an apple."

Edward closed his eyes and sighed.

"If you insist"

Roy walked to the door and closed it behind him. He could hear "noises" coming from the shared bedroom. It would be great if Havoc's camera wasn't in there. Roy smiled evilly.

He then walked passed Riza's room. He heard a slight whimper and pressed his ear against the door to investigate.

It sounded like… crying.

Roy raised an eyebrow and felt a slice of guilt in his heart. Why had things become so twisted?

Roy leaned against the door and cleared his throat. Immediately he heard the crying stop.

"Yes, sir?" She said, trying to sound normal.

"I was just checking on you. You seemed a bit distressed earlier."

Riza sniffed and said in the gruffest of voices, "I'm fine, thanks for caring."

Roy rolled his eyes. It was the standard response.

"Oh." She said.

"I think there isn't sufficient protection for the "fake Ed". I would like to accompany them."

Roy closed his eyes and smiled sadly.

"Permission granted."

Roy leaned against the wall and whispered,

"May I come in?" He asked.

"To be in a girl's room. Now isn't that inappropriate…"

Riza said with a hint of anger.

Roy sighed and said, "I get it. Just..."

He stopped.

"Just… don't cry… Please."

"Why?" Riza asked.

"Because." He paused.

"You shouldn't have to…"
