Ch. 7 The gift

For the next three days Roy was on the point of exploding since he hasn't seen a hair on ed, he felt like shit and he wanted was to feel those lips above his once more. Those soft wonderful full of pure bliss were only a few rooms away from him but unfortunately Hughes had tied him up.
Yep, he was tied up to his bed with this unbreakable chain, sure he could use his specialty, fire but then his whole bed would burn down and then he'd have to go buy a new one plus he could probably burn himself and that's a chance he wouldn't take. Roy gave a heavy sigh, not seeing Ed for the past 3 days was hell and he still had a week and 4 days to go!

The pain of not even hearing his angelic voice, the pain of not being near him, the pain of being in these chains! 'Were the hell is Hughes when you need him! This is all his fault anyways! '

"Hughes Damn it! Were the hell are you I swear I won't go after him okay! Come on! You know what, how about we go to buy presents! Come on just get me out of these damn chains!" Roy yelled kicking his feet in fury.

"Okay okay, would you just shut up already! God I can hear you from the end of the hallway!" Hughes aid taking off Roy's chains. Roy massaged his hands for a bit and hit Hughes in the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Hughes asked rubbing his head.

"That's for chaining me up! I'm a grown man Hughes I can take care of myself!" He held his head up with pride, Hughes looked at him indifferently

"That's why yesterday you went on a rampage, because you didn't see your darling Ed?" Roy coughed.

"That's besides the point and--" He was cut off by Hughes.

"Then what is the point?" Roy just looked at him.

"Okay fine! Could we change the subject." Hughes nodded.

"Now, what were you yelling about? Going to buy a present for ed? But before you go an do that, do you have anything in mind?" Hughes asked while Roy looked at his feet.

"…"

"That's what I thought, how about a new jacket?" Hughes suggested

"A jacket?" Hughes nodded. "you have to be kidding me? A freakin' jacket! It has to be something meaningful! Something that's comes from the heart! Something that says I love you all over it!" Hughes snorted.

"how about a promise ring?" Hughes chuckled at his suggestion

"That's…perfect!" Roy graved a holed of Hughes hand and Ran to the jewelry store.

(With ed)

Ed was walking around central, just spacing out. He wasn't depressed about Winry at all anymore, which made him think from the beginning why he was in the first place. The image of Roy sleeping popped into his head. He looked oh so very peaceful, and looked almost innocent, almost. He hadn't seen him for a while, exactly three days and Ed was becoming worried. A small smile appeared on ed's face, but soon dispread when he saw Winry and Al shopping. If this was a week ago he'd probably ran out and cried his eyes out, but instead he'd just stood there and gawked at how happy they looked. He slowly turned away and walked to the closest store, so he wouldn't be seen. Even though he finally had gotten over his heart ache for Winry he still hadn't forgiven them for doing that to him, I mean come on his own Brother! Once out of sight he came to the conclusion that he'd have to talk to them sooner or later. Ed gave a loud sigh. But then out of the corner of his eye's he saw Roy and Hughes run to a jewelry store, this caught ed's attention, and curiosity.

He slowly crept into the jewelry store and caught sight of them arguing 'what's new?' Ed walked slowly and hid behind a plant waiting to here the conversation. 'Roy at a jewelry store? There must be something up...maybe a new...girlfriend?' Ed thought, he was about to cry but decided to see if it was a new girlfriend, because if it was...he'd break his dick off for making him feel this way about him! 'I-I m-mean I don't have no feelings for him...I'm just curious about a...a friend. Yeah! That's it I'm just worried about a friend!' Ed once again thought trying to forget that Roy might be more than a friend towards him.

"come on Roy do you seriously want to get a promise ring?" Hughes asked pulling his hand away from Roy's grasps. Ed was shocked at what he had just heard. 'Roy's getting marred! Oh his dick is so coming off!'

"Yea, so?" Roy asked confused by his question.

"So! The poor kid's only like what...19?" Hughes ranted on. Ed was still in shock. 'A 19 year old! That bitch! When I get my hands on that girl he's going to marry I'm going to---' his thoughts were cut off by Roy's voice.

"And your point? Besides age doesn't matter, as long as I know I love---" Hughes cut him off. Ed was growing impatient. 'come on just say the name so I can have a little...chit-chat with the bitch!'

"Yes I know that but would you think for a sec! What would h--" Hughes was cut off by a wack to the head from Roy. Ed was just sitting behind the plant waiting for the name. 'All I know is that her name starts with an H!'

"Look Hughes. It's my design and I will give the ring to shorty if I want to!" Roy said angrily.

"Shorty?" Hughes cocked an eyebrow.

"Yep cute nickname eh?" Hughes just chucked. Ed was clenching his fists. 'Great! He gave her a nickname why didn't he give me one...it's not like I want one, but still.' Ed sighed.

"You know what might happen if you call h--" Hughes was cut off once again.

"yes I know. I'll be six feet under in no time." They both laughed. They argued a little more. but Roy finally picked out a ring that was 24 kg with golden words emended in it 'To my beloved'. Ed had have enough, he ran out of the jewelry store tears slowly running down his face.

'How could he do that to me!' Ed thought running to the river were he could think this over.

The sun had almost set over the horizon, and it was starting to get dark, but Ed still wouldn't leave until he had finally adjusted his feeling towards Roy.

'okay! So lets get this straight!...I'm jealous about this new girlfriend of his. I love to be in his company, he makes me feel happy and needed. He's gorgeous, and I think I might be...in love with him?' Ed's heart pound against his chest. how could he not have realized this before! He was madly in love with Roy! And now he's getting married to this girl who starts with the letter 'h' and has a nicknamed by the name of shorty!' The tears that were dried were now replaced by new wet tears. Suddenly he heard foot steps coming towards him he quickly turned around to see...
