Chapter 4: Photos

It was noon now and Roy Mustang had passed the day by doing the paperwork that Riza volunteered to bring 'so his work would not be affected by his absence to the office'.

'God, sometimes I doubt of who the General Brigadier is and who is the Colonel!!' Thought Roy.

Edward slept the rest of the day since the accident that morning so Valley gave him another sedative to prevent him from waking up in the middle of the night and hurting himself again.

The next morning Roy woke up at 6:00 a.m. like always and went to take a bath. 'Damn, I guess I fell asleep doing that stupid paperwork, oh well I better go and take a bath.' He had finished his bath and was putting his pants on when he heard sobs coming from the room. He ran out of the bathroom with only his pants on and found Edward crying and screaming on his sleep. He ran to his side and sat on the bed. Taking Ed in a hug, he tried to comfort him, but Edward was fighting to free himself from the embrace.

"NO…!! Let go, Al…!! Please don't do this, Al…!! Please…!! NO…!!!!"

"Ed, it's me, Roy. Please calm down, everything is alright" whispered Roy to Ed while caressing his back and hair in an effort to calm him. "It's ok, I'm here with you now." Edward finally opened his eyes still panting and crying, but not recognizing who was with him. He buried himself more deeply in the other man's chest, tightening the embrace like his life depended on that hug.

"Everything is alright Edward. It was only a nightmare. Please calm down. I'm not going anywhere; I'm here with you now." Roy was having a hard time trying to maintain his composure. Ed was always strong and stubborn and seeing him like that was heart-breaking. 'He is like a frightened little child.'

Edward, after a few minutes, started to calm down and slowly began to fall asleep but not letting go of the embrace for the fear that the person with him could only be his imagination playing tricks on him. Roy noticed that it was impossible to free himself from the embrace without waking Edward. He placed a kiss on Ed's forehead and started to caress Ed's hair and back once more and without realizing it, he fell asleep.

Roy was awakened 3 hours later by some strange noises and lights flashing. He lazily opened his eyes and looked to his left where Ed was still asleep hugging him, though less tightly. 'If Ed is asleep what were those strange noises and lights?' He raised his gaze to his right and saw Vallye with another 4 nurses giggling and…and… TAKING PICTURES…???!!!' He let go of Ed a little too roughly and jumped from the bed, scared from being found like that with Edward.

"What the fuck-" He shouted at them trying to find out what they thought were doing taking pictures, but his brain decided to fail at that moment.

"Don't worry, Roy. We all knew about you and Ed. We were the ones that assisted Edward the night you brought him here. Don't you remember?" Vallye asked through laughs because the looked of horror on the General's face.

"Well obviously no…!!! And what the hell… you were taking PHOTOS…!!!???" He shouted loudly forgetting about Ed being asleep.

"Well YES…!! You need to have this moment on film…!! Isn't it wonderful..?? It's not every day that you have the opportunity to have your first move on pictures..!!" She said as if that were the most obvious thing in the world and very excited believing that the hug was the result of the first move of Roy on Edward. Roy was blushing madly 'Not only had they believed I did something with Ed, all five of them were taking photos of me hugging Ed..! The perfect blackmail…I'm doomed!! God why me..??!!'

"B-but how did they found out? I mean, about my feelings? This is very embarrassing, you know…!!" The last part left like a whisper but was heard by the nurses and all of them started to laugh. 'Nice!! Now they are laughing at me..!! If they weren't women they would have been dead by now'.

"Ok, first of all they are Clare, Kaira, Anne and Mel. We are friends and we all work together here. Like I said before, we were the ones that attended Ed the night you brought him here; and well, just like me, they figured out as much as me that night. From there it only took one look at your behavior, when it was something concerning him, to know it. And about the photos, well, we just thought you would have like to have photos of you two together like that. Because I'm sure you don't even have a single photo of him, right?"

'How can I be mad at them after that? They were just trying to help me after all, at their way, but trying nonetheless' Thought Roy.

"Well …no. I have no photos of Edward but…" He said.

"You see…!! Ha..!! And, don't deny it, you are happy we took photos for you…! What would men do without us women…!!" Said Mel.

"Ok, fine! Part of me is happy, but, well you see, is just too embarrassing. I never thought I was being so obvious and it's not pleasant to wake up and find people taking pictures of you. And I too must admit that the only reason you are not all incinerated to death by now is because you are women and you were with Vallye." He said a little more forcefully than he'd wanted.

"B-but don't worry, Roy! Your secret is safe with us! We are like tombs!" They all answered in unison, scared by Roy's confession. "Oh, and don't worry about if you were obvious or not. You were just worried about the person you love! It's normal to act like you did. Hey, no one is that strong! Everybody would act the way you did if they were in your place. So don't worry about it anymore, ok?" Added Vallye causing Roy's cheeks to turn red.

"You'd better be if you don't want to be BBQ" Said Roy and started laughing at the look of terror in their faces. "Just kidding! I would never hurt a woman. But please the next time you plan to be 'creative' don't scare me like today!

Next time I don't guarantee I will restrain myself from incinerating you, cause like I said, it is not pleasant to be awakened by five women taking photos of you in such a compromising position" He said trying to sound firm but not so hard. "Oh and by the way I'm sorry to disappoint you but I haven't made any moves yet. I was just taking a shower when I hard Fullmetal crying so I came out to check him and to try to comfort him, nothing else." He said trying to explain the incident.

"Awww, too bad. We were planning to have a party at your expenses. Oh well we will have to look for another reason to have time off now!!" Said Clare laughing.

"WHAT!!??"

"Just kidding you silly!!" Managed Kaira through her laugh.

"You better be!!" He said not really trusting that they were just kidding him.

"Aw come on! You know you would have liked to celebrate your love!! It is so romantic!" Sighed Anne.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Roy answered blushing madly. "Of course I don't-" He started when they heard a noise like a sob and movement from the bed but fortunately when they looked at the bed they saw that Ed had shifted from his position but was still asleep.

"Well we better go before we awake Ed, besides we still have a lot of work to do" Said Kaira lowering her voice to avoid waking Ed.

"Bye. See you later!" They all said and with that they all left the room.

"Oh! And Roy, nice body!" Said Vallye showing her face from the door and laughing at the look of horror in Roy's face while he realized that he was shirtless all that time "And don't worry, next time we will not use the flash!!" And with that she ran from the room.

"Vallye!!" Started Roy but Vallye was already out of reach. "Women" He sighed and walked back to the bathroom to take another shower. The entire situation left him feeling very hot.

But all of them failed to notice that Edward had been awake from the beginning due to all the noise and had heard every single word.
