"Ed!" he jumped up happily from his chair and hugged me.
"Oof…!" I grunted as he collided with me, and I laughed. "Hey Al. Why're you so happy?"
He let me go and shrugged, that familiar smile on his face. All I could do was smile back.
"Well, food'll be done in a few moments. Do you like steak, Roy?"
"Yeah, sure." Roy smiled lightly.
Al just nodded, and went back into the kitchen. Roy leaned, whispering into my ear.
"What's steak?"
…
"What do you mean 'what's steak'?!" I growled quietly, not wanting Al to over hear and think something's wrong.
"I've never heard of it." he shrugged. "Well? What is it?"
I put my face in my hands. "What the hell, Roy…? How could you have never heard of steak?"
"I just haven't! I wasn't raised in a place that had steak, jeez Ed." He mumbled.
I looked over at him oddly. Al came in, a confused gleam in his eyes as he looked at us.
"You guys okay?" he tilted his head a little as he looked at us. Aw… He looked so cute… I shook my head, and then nodded.
"Yeah, we're fine Al." I smiled. He smiled back and informed us that the food was done.

Dinner went through, without much incident. The only problem was Roy's outburst when he had finally tasted it.
"Oh my god! This is really good!" he smiled goofily. All I could do was sigh, and lay my head down on the table, feeling embarrassed as ever. Al just thanked him, smiling.
Now we sat, Al and Roy chatting away about things. I didn't really pay attention, I was more in a place of my own, in my mind; in my thoughts. Of course, I never really thought about what I was thinking. Just thinking, and then…
"Al… There's something I want to ask you about…" Roy said calmly, and the mood in the air seemed to change almost instantly.
I looked over at them, and I couldn't just act zoned out.
"What is it?" Al asked, the smile fading, and his tone becoming curious.
"Ed and I both think that maybe sometime soon… You guys should visit your mother's grave." Roy smiled a bit.
Al looked shocked. "Ed… agrees with that?"
I nodded, and closed my eyes, trying to seem uninterested. I remember Al had asked me quite a while ago to go back home, but I replied hastily with 'there is no home there for us any more.' I feel bad about it now, but I guess it's that sort of thing where you said it, and you can never unsay it, and feel even worse when you apologize.
Al smiled, even though I wasn't looking at him, I knew he did, because I heard him stand. He came over and hugged me. I just smiled and let him hug me.
"Thank you Ed." he whispered. I think I laughed a little.
This night went on as normal after that, but when Roy said it was getting late, and he had to go…
"Ed, why don't you go to Roy's house? You have work off for the next week, don't you?" Al smiled, happy as can be. Too happy… It's evil…!
"Ugh, you're--"
"That's a great idea Ed, come on!" Roy was happy too! Jesus, was I the only person who was not freaking happy about this?!
However, despite my protests, which weren't much because I couldn't think of a good argument, I was forced out the door with Roy. I grumbled, angry at first, but then it hit me…
Why did Al want me to leave so eagerly?
