Chapter 7 Drink your sorrows

Roy was looking at a angry Edward. Roy scowled at him, and Ed did the same back with his hands on his hips.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Ed cried out.

"So there would be awkward tension?" Roy asked in a enraged voice.

"Open that door!" Ed demanded.

Roy's eyes narrowed, and his face showed the word no.

"Your suppose to be helping me!" Ed screamed.

"I am!" Roy shouted back.

"I bet you are more ogling me then helping!" Ed screamed.

Roy clenched his teeth, threw the door open with force and pinned Ed to the wall.

"Why do you to tease me damn it!" He screamed.

"What the hell! I'm not doing anything!" Ed screamed. "Jerk!" Ed shouted.

Roy looked up at him, and pushed himself away. Alphones began to back into the kitchen as the two entered the living room.

"How can you say that?!" Roy demanded. "I fine you on the street, you cry, and then you-

Roy began making odd gestures that had no meaning.

"What does this mean?" Ed asked mimicking him.

"You know!" Roy shouted.

"No, I don't know." Ed replied. "Why would you think that I cared that way about you?" Ed asked.

Roy turned his head, remembering how Ed looked at him when he called him dear, and how scared Ed looked when the men advanced him. He began to wonder if when he saved Ed there that Ed didn't show any feelings for him. He remembered what Havoc said to him, and hated himself suddenly. The memories of Ed helping him when he ate. Then look in Ed's eyes meant nothing.

"Well?" Ed shouted.

"Why me?!" Roy screamed.

"What?" Ed asked.

"Why of all people did you come to me? Why did you even stay?" Roy asked.

"You found me!" Ed shouted.

"Why did you stay with me?" Roy asked.

"You idiot! I didn't choose that!" Ed screamed.

Roy's eyes narrowed, and he went over to Full Metal's red long coat, and threw it in his face, then opened the front door.

"GET OUT!" He screamed. "YOU DON'T FUCKING NEED ME! I DID SHIT FOR YOU! GET OUT!" He screamed.

"Fine I will!" Ed hollered. "Lets go Al!" Ed called.

Al ran past Roy, and then bowed.

"Thank you Co-

"Don't thank him Al…A jerk like him doesn't deserve it." Ed hissed as he turned around.

Roy slammed the door, and then went back to bed. He saw the book lying there, and threw it into the living room with so much force he heard a vase break. He fell on his bed clenching his covers. Meanwhile Ed and Al where walking the streets.

"Stupid jerk." Ed whispered.

"Brother." Al reprimanded.

"What? You heard him he didn't even help me. He said it himself." Ed retaliated.

"You know he was being sarcastic brother." Al tried to calm him down.

"What has he done Al, what!" Ed screamed.

"I looked up his hours for work. Brother he cuts his hours in half now." Al explained. "Brother he kept going to Tucker's to pick up more books because he knew that Tucker had shelves of books, Riza couldn't bring them all at once." Al explained.

Ed looked down.

"He tried to kiss me Al." He growled.

Al was silent not knowing what to say. Ed shook, and tears ran down his face.

"WHY AL!" He screamed.

"Doesn't the colonel have a reputation for dating girls?" Al asked.

"So what? So he thinks he can date me; is that what you are trying to say?!" Ed screamed.

"He hasn't dated anyone for about half a month now, he's been protecting you brother." Al stated calmly.

Ed's shoulders sank, and he looked down.

"If I told you something…You won't laugh will you?" Ed asked in a whisper.

"Em emm." Al shook his head no.

Ed made a laugh. He looked at his brother with a smile. Al wasn't sure what that meant at all.

"Sad, he might be the only one who can turn me back." Ed said rubbing the back of his head.

"We should go back brother." Al stated.

"Yeah, yeah…. Lucky son of bitch is lucky I need him." Ed sighed. "Lets go Al." He sighed again.

Both Ed and Al returned to Roy's house to find the door unlocked. Ed walked in to see a broken vase. As the two looked around the found that Mustang wasn't home. Ed got a twist in his stomach.

"I don't like this Al." Ed whispered.

Al looked at hi,. The two bolted out of the house and began running around the blocks.

Roy eyes where droopy and he pushed his glass forwards.

"You've had about seven of those sir. Don't you think you should stop?" The bartender asked.

"I asked for another." Roy growled.

The bartender filled up his glass, Roy had his hand on it, but before hi picked it up a hand was placed on top of it.

"That's enough sir." A voice called out to him.

Roy looked up to see a military officer. It was Maes Hughes, and he sat down in a stool next to him. Roy looked dazed.

"Tell me what happened." Maes stated putting a hand on Roy's shoulder.

"Eve….Tucker…" Roy couldn't say much as his face went forwards and was fallowed by his body.

Hughes quickly caught him wondering what that meant. He picked Roy up then placed him in a restaurant booth that was in the bar and went over to a phone.

"Hi I would like to do a background check on someone…..Name, Eve Elric." Maes stated.

Hughes waited about five minutes for any information then finally hung up. He looked over at Roy who was out cold. He took Roy's arm and put it over his shoulder, and began to drag him.

"Wake up sir. We are going for a walk." Maes stated.

Roy's head hung down as he walked outside; where it began raining. It was soon after that, that Hughes spotted a person in a red coat looking in a booth where Al stood in. It seemed Al pointed, then Ed turned. He saw Hughes, and began to run towards him upon seeing Mustang.

"What the heck happened to him?!" Ed shouted.

"Tell me about your cousin Ed, how is she." Maes asked.

"She went to a hotel." Ed stated.

Roy fell down to the ground, and Maes punched Ed in the face.

"You sound nothing like Edward, and there is no Eve Elric. What kind of information are trying to get? Who sent you?!" Hughes half screamed grabbing Ed by the collar.

It was then Alphones separated the two.

"What Hughes! Its true." Al intervened.

Maes scratched Ed's torso with a concealed knife, and pinned Ed to the ground.

"I'm not stupid!" Maes hissed.

"AL! AL ARE YOU OKAY!?" Ed screamed in worry.

Maes's eyes narrowed finding this odd.

"What do I do brother?" Al asked.

"Get out of the rain." He told Al.

Al began running to the bar that had an awning, which he stood under. Maes heard Mustang vomit a few times and Ed looked at him with worried eyes knowing he went out drinking because of their argument.

"Edward." He said staggering to his feet.

His head rolled a bit and then hung down very still. His breathing was off.

"We should tell him before this gets out of hand." He sighed.

"He won't believe me!" Ed screamed.

"Maes…Release Edward that's an order." Mustang said in a low voice.

Maes didn't let go.

"Sir she knows something about Tucker. She could be using you." Maes stated.

"Tucker turned him into a woman." Roy stated.

"Let him go." Roy stated.

Maes didn't.

"Maes!" Roy shouted.

"You said let of Ed. This isn't Ed." Maes stated.

"It is Maes." Roy stated.

"I know how we first meet! Ed screamed. "You saved me from falling off the train!" Ed screamed.

Maes had a strange look on his face.

"Then explain to me why you're a girl." Maes asked.

"I went to find Tucker and he turned me into a girl!" Ed screamed.

Maes blinked, and let go. He looked over at a more composed Roy Mustang.

"It's true Hughes." He stated.

Hughes nodded.

"So that's what you where working on. Now I understand. Sorry Edward." Hughes stated helping him up.

"It's okay." Ed said rubbing his arm.

Roy averted Ed's gave. Hughes gave them both side glances seeing that they where ignoring each other's gaze.

"Look Ed…I didn't mean-

"It's fine." Ed whispered.

Roy's eyes looked into Ed's.

"We've both had a hard couple of weeks. We should take a break for a couple of days okay. Don't look at Tucker's books for a bit." Ed stated coolly.

"Yeah, you should relax and get your military work done." Al said happily. "You deserve a break sir." He said happily.

Roy blinked.

"Well regardless…We have to get out of the rain before we all get sick." Roy stated.

"I'll bring my car around for you Al." Hughes stated.

"Mind walking?" Roy asked Ed.

"No." Ed stated.

It was obvious to Hughes they had to discuss a private matter.
