Tivo... it's a wonderful invention. I am now using it to record every Full Metal Alchemist episode that comes on adult swim. Which is only once a week... damn. Oh well, better than nothing. Yay, I got two reviews and no flames!

Edward dragged himself from bed and dressed himself. As he entered the dining area of the fort, he saw that Alphonse was correct, there indeed was, no food left. Ed angrily stormed about the fort, him and his stomach still desperate to find something to eat.

Then he saw it, a single plate of food! Some pancakes! Just sitting there on a table as if screaming, "Eat Me!" Edward practically jumped at the food, and just as he was about to sit down and devour the food, somebody did it before him.

It was Roy Mustang, the flame alchemist. The very person Edward loved so much. Edward was torn between forcefully placing his foot upon Roy's rear end and forcing him to get away from his food, and just walking away and finding some other innocent victim with food.

The Elric sighed and sat down in the chair next to Roy. Roy glanced at Ed, and just as he was about to sink his form into the delicious plate of breakfast drowning in syrup, Edward stopped him by saying, "Uh... Colonel?"

The colonel set his fork beside his plate. "Yes Full Metal?"

Edward had been about to ask him to share his pancakes, then decided against it. If he asked, Colonel Mustang would probably tell him to go away and find his own food. Besides, it would make him look weak like he couldn't find his own food. Edward's stomach growled.

"...nothing. Never mind." Edward replied as he got up and began to exit. The Colonel had noted the growling of Edward's stomach and knew what he wanted.

"You can have one of my pancakes if you want." Colonel Mustang told his subordinate. At first, Ed wanted to say no, just because he would look weak, but a meal was a meal, and he was hungry. Edward turned and nodded, fetched himself a fork and plate, and ate one of Colonel Mustang's pancakes as he sat next to him, hoping nobody was watching.

Edward finished his food rapidly, embarrassed to be seen eating with him. The Colonel was the object of his desire, and the elder Elric could feel himself turning red. The moment he finished, he quickly thanked Roy Mustang, and ran off.

He sat in the room assigned to him and Alphonse. The younger Elric spent most of his time there, to avoid being asked about his knight 'costume'. It was just easier that way.

"Ed, is something wrong, you've been acting really different lately." Alphonse asked his older brother.

"Yeah, but it really isn't anything Al. Just don't worry about it." Edward lied to his brother.

"Big brother, it might be more than you think. If it's making you feel so sad, it must be something bigger than you're telling me because something little wouldn't make you feel so hurt." Ed gave a small groan. He might as well tell his brother, he would probably find out anyway.

"I'll tell you Al, but you can not tell anybody for anything, understand?" Alphonse, being the loyal little brother he was, nodded.

Edward thought for a moment, thinking of how he could word this so his brother would not ne so shocked. He eventually decided on saying, "Al, Im gay and in love with Colonel Mustang."

I updated faster than I thought I would, and while I may not update much in the future, it will be more often than I thought it would be since I finished one of my stories. Review if you read this (I don't mind if you just say 'I read this'). Remember, I love constructive criticism!
