Thinking

--------------------------------------------------------

Edward Elric sat next to his brother on the train. They had just finished a job for Colonel Mustang. And if you were to look at the short blond, it would seem that he was deep in thought. Which he indeed was…

It had been a couple of weeks since he had found that site. Damn that site. Ed thought. Why did I have to look that stupid thing up! As he was mentally attacked himself in his head, his brother Al was starting rather intently at him. So when Ed shook his head to clear his busy mind, he happened to notice Alphonse looking at him. The young state alchemist did a quick check to see what his brother found so interesting, that he just HAD to stare.

Edward found nothing.

So Ed politely asked, "Al?… What are you looking at?"

His brother quickly looked away. "Nothing." The suit of armor replied. Ed wasn't convinced. He tried again.

"Al. I know you were staring. Why were you staring?" Edward was sure that it had to be SOMETHING.

"It's just you seemed to be… daydreaming and well… I was wondering what could have kept your attention for so long that you didn't notice that the train has stopped." Al replied hesitantly.

"…Oh…" Ed could feel heat rise to his cheeks. "It's nothing Al." He said as he looked away. "Is this our stop Al?"

"No brother. Ours is the next one." Al answered his brother. "Won't you tell me?" He insisted.

"It wasn't anything important." Commented the blonde as he stared out the window. He didn't understand why he couldn't get that site out of his head. Ed began to space off again, he was sure his younger brother was saying something but he didn't care at the moment.

"…And another thing, brother, we'll be getting picked up to go see Mustang. So try not to start a fight…"

Ed looked at his brother. He had heard that last part. A meeting with Mustang. The young blonde wondered if he could do it. He was sure that the results from that test would appear in his mind again. He might not be able to handle it.

--------------------------------------------------------

From the outside looking in Toy Mustang's life had not changed a bit from that day he had been bored enough to find that site. He still procrastinated, was still fairly lazy, and still liked to make FullMetal do tasks he didn't want to do himself.

But if you took a deeper look, into this man's mind, you would see he's been thinking of things he hadn't really thought about, at least in detail, before.

These thoughts had even been in his mind when he sat with Hughes at a bar. (1.) They were discussing things, had someone walked by they would have just heard about Hughes' daughter. And such things, but these two men were really talking about Roy's little problem.

Roy was drinking; Hughes himself was still on his first drink. "So what's wrong Roy?" asked a still sober Hughes. "Something has been keeping your mind a lot these past days."

Mustang looked at his friend. "I can't say really…."

Maes looked at him. "Oh? Really? Nothing interesting? Not at all? You can't fool me Roy. I've known you too long."

The colonel let out a sigh, "I see…" He said lying his head on the bar top. "Well, I found this site… I just can't get it out of my head." He sat up to finish off his drink only to lie his head back down.

"What kind of site was it Mustang?" His friend asked. Now he was interested. He cocked an eyebrow at his long time friend.

Roy was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol. "It's not what you're thinkin' Hughes." He started, "Its jus some stupid site, dealing with Valentine's Day."

"Hmm….. Any way of this leading to some deep secret about yourself Roy?" Hughes asked with a smirk. Roy's face became more flushed, not just from the alcohol now.

"A'course not..." He stated still flushed.

"Then what is it Roy?" asked Maes as he took another sip of his drink. "It has something to do with a small blonde alchemist, doesn't it?"

The colonel looked at his friend. How does he figure this stuff out? … Oh yeah… That's his job… Roy pondered just a bit more before answering his friend. "And if it does?"

"No need to take that tone with me. I was just inquiring…" Hughes cleared his throat. "Then maybe you should set up a meeting? He comes back today doesn't he? So you'll see him anyway."

Roy realized he hadn't thought of that. He wondered to himself if he could face the blonde. Hughes was still talking to him. Mustang figured he had best listen to what his friend was telling him.

"…And he could come to the bar for some drinks with us on Saint Patrick's Day. Roy?" Hughes looked at his friend who looked like he was planning something. When he smirked like that one could never be sure.

--------------------------------------------------------

The train came to a stop and the Elric brothers got off the train. Stretching Ed looked for whoever was going to take them to Roy's office. He scanned the area again. "Do you see anyone Al?" The blonde continued to look around.

"No brother. I don't see anyone." Al sweat dropped as Ed's temper became evident.

"THAT BASTARD OF A COLONEL! NO ONE'S COMING!" As Ed yelled and fumed, Al continues to look around.

"Brother! Calm down! People are starting to stare."

Ed stopped after a few moments, mumbling something Al had missed. "Come on Al. Let's go home." Ed walked off out of the station.

"W-wait up brother!" Al called going after his brother. The two started their walk home.

--------------------------------------------------------

Roy deciding he had had enough to drink decided that he should go back to the office before Ed and Al got in. Not wanting to be too drunk when he saw them.

--------------------------------------------------------

When they got home Ed went straight to his room. Damn that colonel. It's his entire fault. Saying there was going to be a meeting and no one showing up. Ed flopped on his bed.

Al was about to follow Ed but the phone rang, and knowing his brother he wouldn't answer it. So Al went over and picked up the phone. "Hello?" asked the suit of armor. "…Oh! Winry!" There was a pause. "Come there for the holiday? … I don't know…. Ed's been spacey lately and we might have to-" Al was cut off when there came a knock on the front door. "Uh… I'll ask him about it. I've got to go answer the door… Uh-huh… Okay. Bye Winry." As Al hung up the phone there was another knock on the door. "Coming!" he called as he made his way to the door.

Ed had been lying on his bed when he heard the phone ring. He hadn't bothered to get up. He knew full well that Al would get it. He had also heard parts of the conversation. He really didn't want to see Winry until he got this site thing figured out. The young alchemist heard the knock on the door as well. Hm? He sat up on his bed. I wonder who that is…

Out of curiosity, the young alchemist got up and started to head for the door. He could hear his brother open the door.

"Hello Colonel." Al greeted him.

Ed froze in his tracks. Oh crap. He started to back up slowly. Ed was hoping that no one had seen him.

"Hello Al. Is FullMetal here?" asked the dark haired man, who was now sober because it had been a couple hours after the bar. Mustang looked around. He spotted Ed at the end of the hall. Roy smirked, his all too famous smirk. "Ah, FullMetal." he called.

Al turned around, "Oh! Brother! The colonel is here to see you."

Ed's heart sank as Roy called out to him. He stopped backing up and put on a sheepish smile. What is he smirking for? Ed walked up. Clearly upset that his escape had been robbed from him, by the person he was attempting to escape. "Oh is he?" Ed commented to his brother. "I don't see why. He's the one that didn't come and get up." He added a little bitterly.

Roy looked at the teen. "I didn't forget FullMetal. Your train came in early and you didn't wait."

Seeing where this was going, Al asked the colonel, "So what did you need colonel?" Al was feeling quite uncomfortable. The tension between the two becoming so strong, one could almost feel it.

Roy tore his eyes away from Edward to look at Al. The results of that test couldn't be right. "I came here because I needed the report from the last assignment."

Ed was staring at the floor silently. In his head he cursed himself for ever finding that site and taking it serious. But that didn't stop him from thinking about it and a light blush appearing on his features. "I've got your stupid report." commented the blonde.

Al looked at his brother. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Roy also noticed the change. Or maybe it could be right. He thought about this. The colonel cleared his throat. "Well then, may I have them?" he asked the young alchemist. He put his hand out. (2.)

"I-I don't have it right here and now." Ed said his voice just a little shaky. Al looked at his brother then Roy.

"Um… I'll just go get dinner started." With that Al was out of there.

Roy raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then where are they FullMetal?" He's so cute when he blushes… Roy blinked. Surely that had not just crossed his mind.

"They're in my room," the young blonde started. "I'll go get them. Just shut the door and make yourself at home." With that Ed went to his room.

Roy stood there for a moment before walking in and shutting the door behind him. The dark haired man took the time to take in his surroundings. He started to wander around the house.

--------------------------------------------------------

Edward let out a sigh of relief as he reached his room. He shook his head trying to clear it. Again that site came to his mind. He let out a frustrated groan as he lay back down on the bed. He crawled up to the top and buried his face into a pillow. His intent was to fall asleep and hope that everything would just go away. And that distracting colonel would be gone. Again his plans were crushed. He heard a knock on his door frame. "Nngh!" was what could be heard through the pillow.

A soft chuckle was his response. "This is getting me that report? FullMetal." Roy leaned against the door frame. His arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

Ed's head snapped up to look at the colonel, who was currently looking very smug. A light blush covered his features. "Uh… Well…" he attempted.

Roy put a hand up to stop the boy. "Just get me them FullMetal." Roy watched as Ed got off the bed and went to his desk. As Ed was getting the report he spoke. "FullMetal? Are you busy the holiday?" He asked uncertainly.

"Huh? Holiday? You mean St. Patrick's Day? Uh… I don't know. Why?" the blonde responded pulling out a file.

"Just curious. Wondering, really, if you would like to go out with a few of us on Saint Patrick's Day." Roy said as he took the file from Ed. "You can tell me tomorrow." And with those words he left the Elric's home.
