I stood in front of our door. I stared at out home, wondering if I should enter the place that is supposed to be a place of comfort. But what if I want to bite Alphonse again? Can I handle that urge…? Oh wait… the tablets Roy gave me! No, no… I didn't grab them in all the- Ah, well, you could say 'excitement'…
"Brother!" a voice called to me happily and I put on a smile, turning to my approaching younger brother.
"Hey." I reply, watching the colors of his aura swirl around him.
"Why are you just standing here? Let's go in. About to start dinner." he smiled and opened the door, shifting the bags in his hands from on arm to the other.
I took the bags out of his arms so he could easily open the door and we stepped inside. I looked out the window at the sun that hadn't yet dipped beneath the horizon. The light emitting from it was soft, thanks to the storm clouds that were about to envelop it. I sighed as a roll of thunder came from the darkening clouds.
"Eep!" I heard my brother yelp at the sound of the thunder.
I turned in surprise as my brother clung to my arm, but then smiled. "Come on, Al! You seriously can't still be afraid of thunder, can you?" I chuckled.
"Shut up Ed…! You know I don't like it, and I never will!" he whined and I just laughed more.
As we went on with our night, through dinner and such, I forgot for a moment the world outside these walls. I regretted the feeling I had earlier about entering here. I regretted it, because in this house, I forgot all urges to feed… I forgot I was a vampire all the same…

The next day at work was so unpleasant. Maes wasn't even there, Roy gave me the silent treatment, and everyone else was interrogating me about the night before.
"What did Roy say to Hughes?" they asked frantically, like women who wanted the latest gossip, they horded me with questions. Most of them about Roy…
"Look!" I yelled, "If you want the answers, ask Roy, not ME!"
"Hey! What's all this racket about?!" the bosses voice came.
They stood silent for a second like deer stuck in the headlights, and then rushed to their desks, writing fiercely. Our boss entered the room, looking over his silent workers in the maze of desks. We were all oh-so quiet except for the scratching of pens and pencils on paper. He turned, grumbling, and walked back into his office.
It seemed like years before the day filled with questions ended, and I rushed out of the door, the first one free from work. I knew exactly where I was going…
--
"Hello?" came his soft voice from behind the door. "Who's there?"
His voice sounded timid and sad, so different from normal. I almost ran away, but I couldn't…
"Me… It's me Maes, open up."
Silence…
"Maes, open the door…"
The door creaked open just slightly. I waited, staring oddly at the door, waiting for it to open as I heard a sort of clunking noise. Finally, I just pushed the door open, and he was gone. I sighed as I went up the stairs. I bust through his bedroom door.
"Maes…!" I called softly.
He looked at me and smiled. "Hey Ed. What's up?"
"Look Maes… I'm sorry I don't…" I sighed. "Come to work at least! I can't love you like that and I'm sorry, but I love you like a friend! I won't… I won't let you sulk over this…!" I stepped forward towards him.
He was silent for a moment, but as I opened my mouth to talk he spoke.
"Do you… love Roy?" he blurted out.
"My mouth stayed open in a slack jaw like fashion as if to say, 'what the fuck?! Why are you asking me that?'
"Well?" he persisted.
"I…" I my hands together and started to wring my fingers nervously.
"You?"
"I-I… don't… really know…" I mumbled, looking to the floor.
"Don't be wishy-washy Ed…"
"I don't know!" I argued. "What would you do if I did?!"
"I'd wish…"
"W-wish?"
"Wish for you to be happy with him… All I want is for you to be happy, and smile."
I felt tears well at the corners of my eyes. "Oh God Maes… I think I love Roy…" I broke down and fell to my knees. He embraced me, a sad smile upon his face…
--
I walked out of Maes house, feeling my cheeks, hoping they weren't as red as they felt.
"What's up?" I looked to the origin of the voice.
"So you're finally talking to me?" I smirked.
"Oh yes, Shrimpy. I'm talking to you!"
"Shrimpy?!" I cried out. "Who are you calling so small they couldn't feed a bug for a day?! I'll rip off your legs and--"
"Shush!" he smiled, covering my mouth with his warm hand.
Then…
That warmth… Warmth coming from his blood… My fangs grow in my mouth and I feel and overwhelming desire to feed.
"Ngh… Roy…" I mumble from beneath his hand, resisting the urge to bite down on his finger and drink from there.
"Hm?" he teases me. "Oh, if little shorty wants some blood, he'll have to beg!"
"Please… Roy… I…"
"Oh, come on! Grunting like that won't get you there! Sexier…!"
"Nnn… Roy… please lemme taste you…" I whisper into his hand.
He smiles and takes his hand away she reveals his neck. I move up and bite down harshly. He twitches in momentary pain, but stays still as I lap up the remaining blood and lick at the wound until the crimson liquid stops flowing…
"Ahh… Roy…" I mumbled in a moment of ecstasy, "Roy, you taste so damn good…"
"So do you love, so do you." he mumbled, a smile on his face, expecting me to lash out at the 'love' statement, but my mind was going haywire I think, and I mumbled something I may regret…
"Love… Roy… I love you…!"
