He didn't let go of my hand until we reached Head Quarters and turned around to face me.
"You must still come with me, Fullmetal." And he led the way. I kept my distance as I was still thinking about the stupidest but best thing I did. I just hope he doesn't bring it up in the near future 'cause I know how much he is going to tease me about it: "Fullmetal, I can't believe you are such a horrible kisser" or " Thanks to you Fullmetal my back hurts, so please drink your milk so you can grow up and by back won't hurt when we kiss again, if we kiss again." Aargh! It even pisses me off to think what he'll say! Damn man.
We walked all the way to his office and once we got there we were not surprised to find it empty. I was not surprised. Because of them I did something just an idiot would do.
"Sit down Fullmetal." He spoke as he made himself comfortable in his chair and I walked towards my favorite spot: the end of the sofa. Once I sat down I opened my mouth to ask why he needed me but found myself speechless. I guess I'm to embarrass to speak right now. Just now I can still feel how he tastes.
"We have been assigned to a mission by the Fuhrer,"
"We?" I finally spoke not really liking the 'we' part…sort of.
"Yes 'we'. Apparently the Fuhrer's daughter sneaked out about two days ago with her boyfriend and never returned.1"
"So we have to look for this brat? Jeez, can't her own father look for her? Or the personal guards?"
"My opinion is the same, but when the Fuhrer told me that the 'boyfriend' is an alchemist I understood why he needs us."
"Okay, I understand that part, but why me? Why not just you?" I asked. There really was not point for me to go.
"Because the boyfriend used to live in Reesembool and some witnesses say that they were last seen at the train station. So if they went to Reesembool you will be the perfect guide." Stupid bastard. This is what I mean; he only needs me near him 'cause I'm the perfect person to do his dirty job. I really don't care about the Fuhrer's daughter and I really don't care if I get kicked out from the military, that's precisely what I want.
"What if they didn't go to Reesembool? What if they are somewhere else? I think this is a waste of time."
"Not if we know where to look. Now Fullmetal, the Fuhrer said that the boyfriend is a very talented alchemist and that's why I requested for you to come with me." Holy macaroni.
"You what?! Why you did that?!"
"Clam down Fullmetal! You should be honored that the Fuhrer even accepted. Now sit down." Oh, I didn't even notice that I had stood up. But still, how dare he!
"Well, to give you a little notice: I do not feel honored, damn it!"
"Quit the whining Fullmetal, and whether you like it or not you are coming with me to your hometown." Heh! He makes it sound like he has to go there to meet with my relatives, you know like how the boyfriend has to go meet the girlfriend's parents. But of course, there are two things that are missing here, one it's that my parents are no longer here and the second one is that Roy isn't anything near the boyfriend category…I think. Pity, 'cause we could have been on the first page. Not that I really care about publicity but I'm just saying.
"Fine Mustang, but if you try anything I will take the first train back to Central." Then he had to smirk, of course. How could I have forgotten about the smirk?
"Oh wait just there Fullmetal, if I remember correctly you were the one who kissed me, not the other way around." I guess I'm blushing because his smirk it's getting wider.
"Shut up, if it wasn't because you didn't want to hear or do what I said I wouldn't have done that!"
"Right, I know you liked it Fullmetal." I rolled my eyes; I couldn't hold it! So what? And I didn't roll my eyes because it's a lie, I rolled my eyes because it's true, I know it doesn't make sense but it's true!
"And let me say this Fullmetal, for being inexperienced you were not bad." Did he…? Did he just say that I was not bad? I cannot believe this. I should have recorded him while I could.
"But then again, I guess since you are a cat now it must be because of the way you clean yourself." I got up from the sofa again (and yes, I did notice this time) and came up to him to be face-to-face with him. I could hit him right now but why not play along?
"Well Mustang, I know you enjoyed it as well by the way your tongue was moving." I answered with a grin on my face, especially since I know for sure now that we're face-to-face that he is blushing; I can notice it.
"You also look so cute when you blush." I added as I leaned back and turned around to leave the office. But…
"I never thought you felt that way about the General, brother." Why are my days worsening day by day since I'd been transmutated with a cat?
"I…I don't Al. I was just saying that-"
"Don't worry Alphonse, I will not let anything happen between me and Fullmetal." Roy…excuse me, Mustang interrupted me. But for some reason I felt a great disappointment when Mustang made this remark.
"Don't get me wrong General, but I hope that's a promise." I turned sharply to look at Al. why is he saying this? Wouldn't it be too obvious that I like the guy? Wouldn't he know since he's my brother? I looked back at Mustang and he just nodded.
"Well Mustang, I'm leaving. Now that you told me about the new mission there is no point for me to stay here any longer." As soon as I spoke I tried to make my way out of the office again but I realized that Al was not the only one standing there listening to the whole conversation but the rest of the subordinates as well. Shit, shit, SHIT!
I tried to push past them but Hawkeye was the one who grabbed my arm and stopped me.
"I need to talk to you Edward, sir." She said as politely as she could. I nodded and made one last glance to Mustang before we left. Though I didn't miss the confuse expression he had on his face.

We walked all the way to the end of the block from Head Quarters before Hawkeye stopped and turned to look at me with a real pissed off look on her face.
"What do you need me for Hawkeye?" I asked since she felt like silence was better than talking, something she wanted to do and got me out there for.
"I know that you are not going to keep the promise your brother asked for." Oh really? Well, that's not big news Riza; we both know we are not by any means going to keep that promise. Or at least I won't.
"And why are you so mad about it?" I asked not understanding her anger towards all of this.
"Look Edward, I don't want to be mean or anything but I just want you to stay away from him. If you haven't realized, Roy and I are going out. So I don't want you to ruin my relation with him." H.O.L.Y F.U.C.K. She is kidding right? Mustang and her? But I never saw the signs that they liked each other! I opened my mouth to say something but she spoke before I could.
"I have known for a while that you like him more than a friend, and I noticed that it was you who motioned to kiss him today. I just can't believe that the rest were so stupid to notice your cat ears, it was so visible." She said as she sighed.
"I'm sorry Riza, I didn't know that you were dating him."
"Well now you know Edward. So please, go fetch someone else, he is off the market now." I nodded and she smiled. This is what I mean, when finally something starts to go right in my life someone or something has to spoil it.
"Now lets head back so you can take Alphonse home." I nodded again and we started to walk back to Head Quarters. We both stayed in silence while we walked but then a thought keeps bothering me so I need to say it out loud to make me feel better. But will it be all right to say it to Riza? Nah, she wouldn't mind.
"You know," I started saying but waited until she gave me some kind of sign to keep going.
"Hmph."
"He is a really good kisser." Then she slapped the back of my
head.
