I regret to inform you that all writings from me are postponed until further notice. I just wanted to let you all know. Some things have popped up that absolutely have to be dealt with and I hope you understand. I don't know how long I will be gone for, but when I come back, I will also be working on a Full Metal Alchemist side-story that goes with "Pretty Little Bride". I'm sure you will enjoy it. See you all for now.

Ed sat down against a tree and felt his stomach.

"Feed me!" It seemed to yell.

It then made its condition known to the other two by letting out an assortment of grunts, growls and snorts.

Roy fought off his need to laugh and handed a bag of chips at the boy.

"Where'd you get these?" Ed asked.

Roy winked, "I get hungry at night sometimes."

Hughes snorted and laughed out,

"Yeah, and usually if you get up to go get something to eat, you end up falling on one of two things, your face or your ass."

Roy threw a rock at the man and growled.

Hughes dodged it and stuck out his tongue.

Ed laughed, "So basically it's one thing, right?"

Hughes covered his mouth and fought off the intense need to bust out laughing.

Roy looked almost hurt and entertained at the same time.

He nudged the boy next to him and said, "That was a good one, Edward."

Ed closed his eyes and smirked. "Thanks, assface."

Roy then decided that was the best time to tell Edward exactly what his plan was.

"I HAVE TO WEAR IT AGAIN?" Edward yelled at the top of his lungs.

Roy slowly removed his fingers from his ears and rubbed his temples. "Yes, Ed, you have to wear it again."

"Nuh uh!" Edward yelled out and whined.

Roy had had just about enough of this.

He pulled Edward into his lap, facing him, grabbed his shoulders and yelled, "What the hell has you so bent out of shape?"

Hughes decided to slowly crawl behind a nearby tree and disappear.

Edward held up his cuffed hand and pointed to it.

"THIS!" He yelled.

Roy sighed. "Well, there's nothing I can do about that…"

Ed growled. "You know I could always break it with my auto mail… or even make a key.

Roy smirked, "I know you could, but you won't because you'd feel bad about it."

Ed scowled and yelled, "Why the hell are you such a jerk?"

Roy laughed. "I'm a jerk because I know how to handle you?"

Ed growled and looked away.

"That's what you think…"

Roy laughed and held Edward's flesh hand.

"That's what I know…"

Ed growled and pulled his hand away.

"DAMN YOU!" He yelled at the top of his lungs and got up, dragging Roy's arm with him.

Edward then sat next to the older man and sulked.

Hughes skillfully poked his head from behind the tree. Seeing it was safe, he decided to join the two once again.

Roy laughed and pointed at Hughes, "Smart Man."

Hughes laughed and pointed at Roy, "Stupid Man."

This time, Ed laughed.

Roy sighed and comically said to Edward, "You've turned him against me!"

Hughes laughed and replied, "Nope, sorry Roy. Just saw the light."

Roy laughed and threw a rock at his friend.

Hughes dodged it once again and smirked.

Roy smiled and suddenly yawned.

"Man, why am I tired?"

Hughes pointed to Edward and stated, "Cuz you're cuffed to him…"

Roy laughed. "Yeah, must be."

Roy stretched his arms in front of him and announced, "Nap time for me."

Havoc looked through the rear-view mirror to take a look at the sleeping Fuery. He was so cute.

"Hey Riza." He suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

"When he wakes up… Don't tell him."

Riza then nodded her head and sadly smiled.

"He doesn't need to know." She thought.

Havoc cleared his throat, "That goes for you too, Alphonse."

Alphonse laughed nervously and said, "O-okay."

After a few moments of silence Alphonse curiously asked, "How long until we reach Headquarters?"

Riza stared out the window at the fast moving scenery and said, "A day. At most."

"Good."

When Roy awoke, he found a very interesting surprise.

A small, sleeping body was draped over his lap.

Roy grinned and looked for Hughes so he could show off… But Hughes… was gone.

"Hughes?" Roy whispered.

He suddenly felt a chill go up his spine and he growled at himself. "I shouldn't have fallen asleep!"

Roy then carefully and skillfully reached for his gun.

"Hughes?" He asked again.

"WHAT?" A familiar voice yelled from behind a tree.

"Hughes?" Roy asked, skeptical.

Hughes let out an annoyed laugh and said, "I was peeing, mommy."

Roy rolled his eyes. "Don't do that…"

"Yeah, yeah"

Hughes laughed and pointed to Edward.

"How cute…"

Roy grinned. "Yeah. We should get moving, but I don't want to wake him."

Hughes giggled and said, "Do it… romantically!"

Roy rolled his eyes and said, "I'll do it… MY way"

Hughes laughed and sighed, "Alright then. But I'm staying out of sight. I don't want to bear witness to your love fest."

After Hughes found a comfortable tree to sit behind, Roy began to work his magic.

He carefully pulled the boy into his lap and held him.

Roy then put his hand on Ed's face and rubbed it with his thumb.

"Wake up." He whispered.

Ed groaned and twitched a bit.

Ed felt very warm. He could hear a constant heartbeat and pressed his ear against the chest it was coming from.

Roy smiled and tipped the boy's head upward.

"Roy?" Ed whispered.

"Yes." Roy said.

He then brought his face down and pressed his lips against Ed's.

Roy was surprised when, for the first time, Ed returned the kiss.

Roy blinked then pushed down harder. He was going to make this one count!

Edward's eyes then fluttered open and he realized what he was doing.

His face turned a deep red color and he grabbed the Colonel's shoulders to push him away.

He didn't succeed.

When Roy finally pulled away of his own will, it was slow and lingering.

Ed was stunned. Here was this beautiful, semi-wonderful man, holding him in his arms.

"I don't get it" He thought.

Roy grinned.

"You can have five more minutes, but we have to get moving soon." He whispered.

"Yeah." Ed responded, in a daze.

Roy's voice seemed so... dreamy.

Ed could feel the ghostly lips which seemed to still be upon his own.

He blushed as he stared at the man.

He then sighed and closed his eyes.

"Roy?" He finally whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Kiss me again."
