Sorry to take awhile on this chapter. I was pretty busy with school. My finals are coming up and everything. I started to work on this like, 3 days ago, but then I fell alseep, so I finally finished this chapter. I am pretty happy with it, but it's not really myself that I am trying to make happy, it's you all!

I also found this really cool manga called Vampire Knight. I was very happy to stumble upon it some how because it is very good. You all should read it. I love it. Plus I also was happy yesterday when some FINALLY subbed D. Gray-man episode 60. Took them like, forever to do it.

I want to give thanks to Paon and xfacexthisx for their reviews. I would also like to give an extra special thank you to Sennie who has been following this story from the beginning and has helped me with ideas. Thank you oh so very much! I hope you are pleased with this chapter.

Now, before I forget

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Full Metal Alchemist or any of the characters in it. If I did, Roy would be serving me peanut butter sandwhichs in a maid outfit, while Ed fanned me. Mwahaha... but I do own Monica! I made that chick up.

So now, onto the story!

Previously on A Leap of Trust

Roy could tell Ed was tired by the way he was breathing and had his eyes closed. "Go to sleep Ed. You'll need your strength in the morning."

"Alright. You better be here when I wake up. I love you Roy.

"I love you to Ed," Roy said as he leaned over and kissed Ed on the cheek.

He laid his head back on the pillow and listened for Ed's breathing to even out. When it did, he knew Ed was asleep, and then he followed.

Ed woke up to the sun coming in through the window and an arm draped over his stomach. He looked down at said arm, and froze. All his memories came flooding back from last night along with the feeling of being happy for once. He followed the arm to the owner and smiled. Roy was laying half under the cover and naked. He couldn't hold in a laugh at the thought that he just slept with the Colonel.

Roy slowly opened his onyx eyes and saw Ed laughing. He slowly sat up and stared at him. "What's so funny Ed?" he asked yawning with his arms over his head stretching out an ache in his shoulders. Ed just couldn't help but watch and when he caught this, he smiled. "Ah, at a loss for words. That's a first," now it was his turn to laugh.

Ed watched as Roy stretched and he couldn't tear his eyes away from the muscular chest. He felt like he was in a trance as he watched the muscles ripple. He came back to the world when he heard Roy's last comment. "I was not. I was wondering why I slept with a bastard." he tried hard to come up with a smart-ass remark, and he knew that was not the best he could do. He was to drawn to the man in front of him.

Roy laughed as he got up out of the bed and walked to the bathroom door. He knew Ed didn't mean what he said and decided not to push it any farther. He cleaned up the blood that was in the bathroom when he brought Ed home from the hospital. He didn't want anyone else to do it, because he didn't want them to tell anyone what they saw.

He walked in and picked up a towel and sat it on the towel rack and started filling the tub with water. He put bubbles in the bath and flower petals because he was going to do something special for Ed. He turned off the water when it was high enough and the right temperature, and walked back into the bedroom. Ed was still laying on the bed staring at him.

"What were you doing?" Ed asked as he again was drawn to Roy's lean naked form. His eyes traveled up and down his body, but mostly stopped on his lower half. He couldn't help but lick his lips at the site. He could feel heat forming in his stomach and quickly grabbed more of the cover and covered himself the best he could.

"I was getting you a bath ready because I had something's planned for today if that is alright," Roy said with a sly smile growing on his face as he saw Ed pull the cover over himself. He walked over to Ed and bent down giving him a kiss on the lips as he slowly pinned his arms down to the bed.

Ed was shocked at first because he wasn't expecting this at all. It took him a minute to realize what was going on and then finally he kissed back. Roy started to nibble on his bottom lip to ask for entrance and he allowed it. Their tongues fought for dominance, and of course, Roy won.

Roy slowly pulled away and brought his arms around Ed to pick him up while he was still stunned. He scooped him up and started to carry him to the bathroom. He gently placed him in the tub and turned to walk away before Ed said something.

"Why are you doing this for me?"

"Because I love you Ed and you've been through a lot. I thought I might as well give you something to show how much I care. When your ready to get out, call me alright." Ed nodded and Roy walked back over and gave him a quick kiss before leaving the room.

Ed slowly slid himself lower in the tub and winced when he felt pain between his legs. He knew why it hurt, but he didn't mind. He had been through worse then this, so it didn't bother him much anymore. The water seemed to sooth all the pain away after a few minutes. Ed picked up a handful of bubbles and couldn't help but feel like a little kid again. He held his hand in front of him and blew and watched as the bubbles flew into the air and floated back down.

'Roy is being so nice after all of the stupid things I've done. I thought he would have left me alone after he found the bathroom. I love him, and I guess him staying means he does love me.'

"Your crazy. He just wants a play toy and you know it. Accept the fact that your nothing but his fuck toy and keep letting him fuck you till he finds someone better." Ed remembered that voice, Shad. He grabbed at his head trying to shut him out. "Ah come on little Edward. You know you can't block me out. You've tried before and have failed each time. So don't even try." Shad laughed.

"Shut up! He wouldn't do that to me! I know he wouldn't! He loves me! Doesn't he?" Ed didn't know what to believe anymore. Roy was suppose to keep Shad away, but it seemed like it didn't work.

"Of course he doesn't you dumb-ass. Who would love someone like you. Your just a screw up and everyone knows it. Why do you think Al isn't with you huh? It's cause you made his life hell so he decided to leave you. Next thing you know, your precious Colonel will leave you to. Except he'll leave you broken. Your nothing but a whore and you know it."

"SHUT UP!! He wouldn't do that! He would never hurt me or anything. He loves me. Just leave me alone!"

"I guess I'm going to have to prove it to you that he doesn't care and is only using you for sex. Plus, I'm going to make your life hell, but until that time comes, your on your own. Bye shorty." and with that, Shad was gone and Ed was alone once again to dwell in his thoughts.

It had been thirty minutes since Roy left Ed in the tub and he had gone to have the cook to prepare a special breakfast. It consisted of all of Ed's favorite foods with a rose in the middle and rose petals scattered on the tray. That food now sat on Ed's bed which was also scattered with rose petals. Roy didn't know if anything was wrong with Ed or not, because he didn't hear movement in the water or anything.

"Roy! Are you out there?" Roy sighed with relief as he heard Ed's voice come out through the bathroom door.

"Yeah, I'm here. I'll be in there in a minute with your clothes," Roy stood up and walked over to where he placed Ed's clean clothes and then walked into the bathroom. He placed the clothes down on a table and picked up the towel. He walked over to Ed and slowly helped him up and out of the tub while slipping the towel around him. Ed shivered when the air hit his wet body, and was thankful Roy chose a really fluffy towel.

Roy slowly dried off Ed as he took in the sight of him. He couldn't help but be drawn to his toned chest. Ed was toned for a kid his age but that was only because of all the work it took for him to carry around his auto-mail. Roy laid the towel over Ed's legs to cover him as he stood up and picked up Ed's clothes. He picked out the usual black top and tight leather pants. He helped Ed into them and when he was dressed, he picked him up.

"I have a surprise for you Ed," Roy said with a smile crossing his face.

Ed didn't like the fact that he was doing all this for him, but he let it go. He rested his head between Roy's neck and shoulder as he was carried from the bathroom. He felt the bed under him and he didn't want to let go as Roy pulled back. He pulled Roy closer just enough for their lips to touch for a quick, but soft, kiss.

When Roy pulled back, Ed spoke softly, "Thank you Roy." Roy watched as a blush crept up Ed's face and stained his cheeks. He couldn't help but chuckle. He unhooked the arms around his neck, sat Ed up on the pillows, and covered Ed up, but left the top of the cover folded down so he could move his hands.

Roy lifted the tray up and sat it on Ed's lap with a smile. He watched as Ed's eyes grew wider as he took in all the different food. He walked to the other side of the bed and sat down swinging his legs up. "I hope you like it. I had the cook make everything you like."

Ed looked over at Roy with tears forming in his eyes. "I love it Roy," he said as he sniffled trying to hold the tears back, but failing as one slipped down his face.

Roy reached over and whipped the tear away. "What's wrong Ed?"

"It's just... no one has ever done this for me. Al always made me breakfast, but, it was never like this," he motioned to the food, then the bed. "I have never been treated like this."

Roy smiled, "I think you always deserve to be treated like this." Roy leaned closer to Ed and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "When your done eating, I have more in store."

"I thought you had work today?"

"I took the day off to be with you. Hawkeye was upset, but I sent her to the spa to calm down. She gratefully accepted it."

"I bet she would after having to put up with you," Ed smirked as he made this comment because Roy looked taken back.

"Oh my. I never thought after all this, you would still be treating me like that. What a meany," Roy said making it seem like he was hurt. Ed laughed and started to eat his food starting with the eggs first and then whatever he saw next.

After Ed was done eating, Roy took the tray downstairs and was making his way back upstairs when he heard a crash. He sprinted up the stairs taking 3 at a time and dashing in his room to find Ed on the floor, next to a broken glass with vomit all around him. He ran up to him and kneeled by him.

"Ed are you ok?" Roy waited for a reply but never got one. "Ed! Say something!"

"R... Roy..." Ed managed to choke out and look at Roy before he threw up again.

Roy put his arms around Ed and huddled him to his chest and pulling his golden hair, that was sticking to him, out of his face. Roy could feel him starting to shake, but that was from the tears that started to fall. "Shhh... Ed it's ok. I'm here alright. Don't worry."

"R... Roy... it... it hurts," Ed said as he cuddled closer to Roy.

"What does Ed? What hurts?"

"My... my stomach. It feels... it feels like someone is... stabbing a knife in it."

Roy looked down at the boy crying in his arms and slowly pulled away. He leaned Ed against the bed and slowly pulled his shirt up to reveal a long, red, bleeding gash along his stomach. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight. He noticed that it was deep, but not deep enough for him to have to take him to the hospital again. He could take care of this wound himself with what he had at the house. "Monica! Come here please," he yelled out to one of his maids because she was always nearby.

Monica appeared in the door way and bowed, "Yes Colonel? What do you need?"

"Can you get me some bandages and a bowel of hot water with a rag."

"Right away sir," and with that she left quickly hurrying her steps.

Roy look at Ed's face again and noticed that he seemed to be spaced out. His eyes were no longer glazed over the way they usually were, and he didn't like the look of it. "Ed." Roy said slightly shaking him.

Ed snapped back and looked at Roy. "Roy, what's wrong?" he could see the worried look on his face.

"Ed, did you do this?" Roy pointed to his stomach and Ed looked down. His eyes widened and his breath hitched and he shook his head. "Well how did it get here Ed? It can't just magically appear by itself you know."

Ed shot his head up and to the door as he heard Monica come back with what Roy asked. His eyes widened ever more as she walked over to them and sat the water and bandages down. "Thank you Monica. You can leave now," Roy said as he turned to grab the rag and dip it in the water.

Ed scooted as far as he could into the bed and the night stand as he watched her make her way to the door, but turn around and give him an evil smile and a wink.

Roy turned around and saw Ed and didn't know what to say. He could see the fear in his eyes and his expression. "Ed. Are you ok? What is wrong with you? That's Monica. You remember her. She brought you lunch one day. Remember?"

Ed nodded his head and watched Roy as he slowly reached towards him with a wet rag to whip the blood on his stomach away. He watched the water in the bowl turn red with every new dip in. "Ed, you need to calm down and tell me what happened. How did this happen to you?"

Ed sat in silence for a minute as he let Roy bandage him up. "Roy... I honestly don't know. I was laying in bed waiting for you to come up, and then I felt this pain in my stomach, and I rolled over and fell off and threw up. Next thing I remember, was you next to me. I don't know how it happened. You believe me, don't you?" Ed looked at Roy with fear and sadness in his eyes.

Roy let the story sink in as he thought about it. "I believe you Ed. How could I not with how scared you are." Roy leaned in and kissed Ed on the head as he slowly picked him up being careful of his newly bandaged stomach, and laying him in bed. "It seems that what I had planned has to be rescheduled. I'll be back in a minute ok." Ed nodded and with that, Roy left the room taking the water, rag, and left over bandages with him.

Ed pulled the covers over himself and snuggled himself under them until he knew he couldn't be seen. He honestly didn't know how the cut happened, but he had a feeling that he could guess and it be right. "Roy," Ed said to no one in particular knowing that he was alone, "that wasn't Monica." With that, Ed fell asleep, not able to wait for Roy to get back up to the room.

Author note:

So I hope you all like this chapter. I bet you all are wondering, "If that's not Monica, then who is it!" and you all are planning on ways to take out your anger on me. Don't worry though. I won't leave you all hanging that long, at least I hope not.

Now for a poll!

For the next few chapters, which would you all like to see:
A.) Another hot lemon
B.) Something happen to Roy
C.) Shad making Ed's life hell to no end and back
D.) Ed preg (yeah, totally random)

I would love to hear from you. If you have any other choices besides this, let me know and I will find a way to work them in. I will give you credit of course. I am not the kind of person that steals people's helpful ideas. Those people are just dumbasses.

Till next time!
