The small alchemist had been in their personal library for quite some time now. Roy was just finishing off the dishes in the sink from their dinner, after he had just finished a little paperwork himself. Roy knew that this particular client had been giving Ed some grief and for the past few days, he had been frustrated beyond belief.

Roy knew to give Ed his space to think and twist and work that circle to meet the client's needs. At times like this, Ed needed his space and Roy respected that but it had been 5 days. A whole work week without Edward beside him in bed. Roy was man enough to admit he missed the small alchemist. He missed his touch, his scent and his warmth. Hopefully Ed would finish his work tonight and join him in bed. It had been a long and stressful week for the both of them.

Maybe Roy could help him with the transmutation circle. Share his own alchemic knowledge and offer a fresh perspective on the problem. Roy liked the sound of that. They could talk out the thesis over a hot, refreshing cup of coffee, work the circle with several or less lines then before, test it and finally have an moment of peace that would eventually lead to their hands all over the other. Yes, did he ever like the sound of that.

The older alchemist made a fresh pot of coffee and got down two clean mugs from the shelf. Edward liked a disgusting amount of sugar in his coffee with absolutely no calcium what-so-ever. Roy prepared his own preference, with a little amount of cream. With a tray in hand, Roy made his way down the hall to the private study, where Edward had a habit of living when he was working on a particularily difficult array.

The older man bumped the door open with his hip and Ed's head shot up from his work. Roy smiled at him. His lover looked so cute with his hair drawn back in a messy pony tail with his reading glasses askew, his cheeks flushed and short of breath...wait, what? That's when Roy noticed Edward's pants around his knees and his flesh hand moving on himself. Roy sputtered and nearly dropped the tray of hot coffee all over the floor.

" Edward!" Roy cried, completely experated but turned on extremely by the sight of his lover masturbating.

Edward had the decency to moan in embarrassment, or what Roy hoped desperately was embarrassment but the blonde did not stop. He didn't even pause. " I'm s-sorry Roy, it's...ahhhh...mmm...b-been a while."

The blonde arched into his own hand, throwing his head back in ecstacy, sweat pearling on his brow. Roy set the tray on the far end of the desk, out of harm's way, and pushed Ed's chair back. Edward growled as Roy interrupted his rythem by wrenching his hand away from himself but fell to stuttered begging when Roy's hand moved on him.

" Oh, Roy...ah!" Ed moaned loudly, pulling on the fabric of the man's shirt and dragging him down into a heated kiss. Roy groaned as he plundered his lover's mouth, dragging his broad hand roughly over his lover's erection. Roy paused briefly to play with Ed's slit, causing the blonde to jerk in his grip and cry out his triggered release. Roy continued to pump him through his climax, warm and sticky trails of cum covering his palm amd flowing over his knuckles.

Edward sighed, trying to regulate his breathing. Roy gazed at his lover in the afterglow and cleaned his hand on a stray, blank piece of paper scattered across the desk. With his clean hand, the dark-haired man stroked Ed's damp bangs back. Golden eyes fluttered open and smiled.

" Why didn't you say something Ed?" Roy smirked, sitting on the edge of the desk gazing upon the sated form of his lover. " I could have taken care of you sooner."

" But you did anyway," the blonde smiled lewdly, pulling his pants back over his ass but not bothering to fasten them again. " What are you doing anyway?"

" I thought you might need some assisstance, and apperently I was right."

Ed smirked and took a sip of his coffee. " You sure did, but rest assured, I got the array completed and in working order. I no longer require your assisstence."

" That's were you're wrong," Roy said self-assuredly. Edward raised a questioning eyebrow. The older man got to his feet to stand behind his seated lover. He ran his hands over the blonde's shoulders, both flesh and metal. Ed's head rolled back as Roy messaged his knotted shoulder, a nearly inaudiable moan falling from his lips." Look at all this tension. It's from all those all-nighters and all of that hard work. You need to relax..."

Roy continued his minstrations, turning the massage into a caress, causing the blonde to harden again.

" Looks like you need some help with that..." Roy murmured in the blonde's ear.

" Shut up..." Ed grumbled and shivered. "Cocktease..."
