And here is the chapter 2!

In the other room, Alphonse looked worryingly at the door.

- "Why Brother and the General aren't coming back?" He asked.

- "Your brother is quite a handful, you know?" Riza said, smiling softly. "I don't think he can recognize his faults as simply as you do."

Just when she finished her sentence, the door opened. Roy gave her a comforting look, while Ed walk directly to his sibling:

- "Al! You all right?"

- "Sure bro! What about you?" Al said.

At this statement, Ed blushed and nodded. Al could see he didn't want to talk about it. Behind them, someone cleared his throat. The Elric brothers turned to look at the adults.

- "Oh! You wanted to tell us something, right?" Ed asked. Then he thought: " It's strange… Roy and Riza look… Embarrassed!"

- "Well…" Roy started, "In fact, Riza and I…"

- "Are getting married!" the lovers said in unison.

- "WHAT?"

- "Oh! That's nice!"

- "All right boys, calm down… There is more!" Riza smiled. Those answers showed so much their different personalities.

- "Edward," Roy began, "you want to be removed from the military, isn't it?

- "Hum, yes, that's true."

- "And you're both underage…" Roy continued.

- "That's also true." Ed said. He didn't know where Mustang was leading him…

- "So, the two of you will go in an orphanage until you are 21." Mustang finished.

A big silence came in respond. Both boys stared at the couple, open-mouthed. They obviously never thought about it.

Then, Riza said, smiling: "This is why we decided to adopt you."

- "Really? You would really do that?"

This had been spoken softly. The youngest Elric was now looking at them with hope, a smile growing on his lips.

- "Eh! Wait a minute, Al! I've never said I'll agree with the whole idea!" Ed said, angrily. "I don't give a damn about laws. We can take care of ourselves, like we always did!"

- "But bro…"

- "Edward, I don't think you have a choice in the matter…" Riza began.

- "FUCK OFF!" Ed screamed. "Think what you want, I don't care!"

Riza was stunned. But Roy wasn't. He grabbed the boy's upper arm, and landed four stinging swats on his already sore bottom. Ed yelped at each smacks and try to pull away from Mustang. But the general didn't let go. He bent to Ed's level.

- "Apologize, NOW!" He shouted, pointing at Hawkeye.

Edward gulped and nodded quickly, before he said:

- "I-I'm sorry Riza."

- "Don't worry about it, Ed. I forgive you." She replied.

Then Roy let go of Ed's arm. The little one looked at the floor while he rubbed his bum.

-"In case you're wondering, we talk about our project to your aunt Pinako." Roy said. "And she agreed with us."

- "In fact, she said it was better for you to stay in Central. And she thought that a parental guidance would do some good to you." Riza added.

The kids nodded in agreement. Ed sighed and said: "Could you let us some days to think about it?"

Roy and Riza seem happy that Ed tried to think about the adoption, so they quickly accepted his suggestion.

When they returned to their dorm, the brothers both lay down on the beds. They stayed silent for a long time before Ed said:

- "We're leaving."

- "W-what?"

- "I'll take you away from those peoples."

Wow! What a reaction, Ed! And how Al is going to take this?
