Chapter 4

Roy reached over and opened the door, and in came a stumbling Havoc who leaned over minutes later and began retching into the toilet.

"Ah sorry Boss! Looks like Havoc couldn't take me in a rematch!" Breda came over and went to help Havoc who practically had his whole head in the toilet.

"Yeah...looks like it." Roy barely got the words out. He was confused and disoriented by what just happened with Ed. His thoughts were swirling in his head maybe from the alcohol but more like the heat from Ed's kiss...and the way his body felt pressed against his.

It felt so right and perfect.

Roy turned his head expecting to see Ed still against the wall, but to his surprise no one was there. Turning back to the door, he noticed it took his eyes some time to adjust from all these head turns. That part was definitely the alcohol slowing his reflexes, he grimaced.

"I never am drinking ever again." Havoc sat up looking completely miserable while Breda flushed the toilet.

"Yo Colonel can you give me hand with "Iron Liver" over here?" Breda motioned toward Havoc. "By the way, that nickname is officially revoked" He chuckled at the groaning Havoc.

Roy and Breda just barely managed to get Havoc onto the guest bed before he passed out.

"You think anyone else is going to be crashing here tonight?" Roy asked as he rubbed his temples, the half-walk, half-drag of Havoc to the bed had sobered him up a bit and all he wanted to do was go to bed.

Well, maybe after he found Ed.

"Eh the dorms aren't a far walk from here! I think we're all probably just gonna go back pretty soon together."

I wonder if Ed will go back to the dorms too. Roy thought he'd rather him stay here another night.

"Yo team lehgo!" As Breda began to assemble the "troops".

Giggling Hawkeye and Sheska were leaning on each other for support and walking toward Breda, while Fuery and a bellowing tipsy Armstrong followed. Even the generally stoic Falman was grinning from a few drinks.

"Is Jean allright?" Sheska asked worriedly.

"He'll be allright! Just a little too much to drink, he's gonna crash here tonight." Breda said with a wink.

"Ed too?" Hawkeye yawned. "I haven't seen him in a bit."

"Thought I saw him upstairs in the hall..." Breda mused. "Wait wasn't he with you in the bathroom Colonel? What were you guys up to?"

Well I was just about to fuck the kid you all watched right up against the bathroom door before we were interrupted.

"Oh he was drunk so I was just showing him where the bathroom was." Nice cover Roy, he mentally high-fived himself.

"Well he needs to come down so we can gooooo!" Fuery flapped his arms like a bird. Ok, no more drinking for him...

"Watch this." Breda smiled. "HEY PIPSQUEAK YOU BETTER COME DOWN HERE BEFORE WE ABANDON YOUR SHORT ASS!" He shouted up the stairs.

Then quicker than a flash of drunken golden lightning Ed was at the bottom of the stairs. He wobbled a bit as he marched toward Breda. "WHO 'RE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND EVEN IF THEY'AD A MICROSCOPE?!" Ed shouted but even his shout couldn't contain his obvious slurs.

Breda started howling with laughter. "Come on kid you're gone. We're heading back to the dorms." And everyone started moving toward the door, Fuery and Falman already outside.

Ed glanced back at Roy and bit his lip, this time he was thinking and not trying to be seductive.

Ed started rubbing his forehead. "Ugh but I feel like shit, mind if I crash on your couch Mustang?" he said glancing toward Roy, making sure he made his eyes as big as possible.

"Yeah fullmetal, I bet your not feeling well with how much you drank combined with how fast you made it down those stairs." Roy smirked, but inside his head a thousand Roy Mustang's were cheering.

"Yeah kid get some rest, and again welcome back!" Breda grinned, and Roy heard a chorus of "Welcome back Ed!" as the last of the soldiers filed out the door.

As the last of them left Ed turned again to Mustang. "C'mon Roy, the night is still young. Let's have another drink!" He practically slurred the entire sentence as he grabbed Roy's shirt and pulled toward the kitchen.

"Ed...no. You're way too drunk already. Let's just get you to bed." Hopefully my bed...he thought guiltily.

"It's just one more drink. Just between us. A real welcome home."

Eh what the hell. One more drink wouldn't do him any worse.

Ed got down two shot glasses and deftly poured some vodka into both. Before turning and raising the glasses towards Roy.

"To us. To a new era. To new beginnings." With that they clanked glasses together and downed the shot.

Before Roy could even set his glass down Ed was on him. Pulling Roy's shirt towards his body Ed kissed his neck, sucking hard. And it was all Roy could do to stop from moaning.

"Let's go somewhere more comfortable." Ed practically purred into his neck between bites and kisses.

If Roy had had the ability to speak he would've agreed, but as it was he let Ed lead him to the bedroom.

Was this really happening?

Roy pushed and locked the door behind him with one hand, the other on the back of Ed's neck as they continued a kiss. He felt Ed smile as he put another hand to Ed's waist.

Roy could have just kissed him all night going no further than that, it felt amazing and more than anything it felt right. He hadn't realized he was even capable of this attraction he had to the young alchemist.

Ed though, clearly did not just want to kiss and cuddle all night.

Shoving Roy backwards on the bed he climbed on top and took off his shirt bending down to suck on Roy's neck again before pulling at the ends of his shirt motioning for it to come off. Roy obliged and couldn't contain his gasp when Ed roughly palmed his crotch through his pants.

The most recent shot was making his mind fuzzy but he knew this couldn't go much further. Ed was still Ed, his former subordinate, what would happen if this got out? All of the work he had been so striving for could be ruined.

"Ed we have to stop" Roy gasped as Ed had one hand on his crotch and the other on his throat as he sucked and kissed it. Even he didn't think he sounded convincing.

"But why? I just want to play." Ed said in what was probably the most seductive voice ever, as he trailed his mouth down fumbling slightly with Roy's button before unzipping his pants.

"Ed no, what will people say?" Roy again wanted to hit himself for how stupid and unconvincing he sounded.

"They won't ever know." Ed whispered before going down and taking Roy in his mouth.

After that, Roy couldn't do anything more but moan and grasp at the blonde head.

Sunlight was coming through the curtains the next morning as Roy stirred awake.

As he flipped to his side his head ached and his eyes widened at a shirtless Ed Elric that was sprawled next to him.

He quickly flipped away. So that had happened. Hadn't been some weird drunken dream.

He couldn't deny how good it felt, not just the blowjob, but everything. Ed's kiss had been so passionate, not that he should have expected anything less of the Elric. But it just felt so right they way they their bodies fit together and when he had Ed against the wall...

Roy shook his head trying to get rid of the thoughts running through his mind. Maybe a shower will make him feel better, he thought, glancing at the clock which said 7:00 AM.

Havoc was up early and sitting in the kitchen nursing his hangover with some juice. He looked over and saw Ed's bright red coat sitting against a chair. Huh he must have left it there from the party.

Poor Mustang's house was a complete disaster. There were empty beer bottles, as well as some unopened ones laying everywhere.

I better sneak out of here before Mustang makes me clean all of it. Havoc thought, not envying the spilled cocktail in the living area Roy was going to have to clean.

Before leaving he grabbed the coat, Ed clearly hadn't been on the living room couch so he'd try to find the kid to return it.

When Roy got out of the shower he was surprised to see that usual solid sleeper Ed was stirring.

"Sup Roy. Mind if I call you Roy?" Ed said with a flirtatious smile.

"Uhm, hey...hi, fullmetal. Sure that's fine. I was just going to make some coffee do you want some?" Roy said nervously. They were obviously going to have to talk about what had happened last night.

"Yeah sure sounds good." Ed said, with slightly less of a smile as his brow furrowed.

Returning with two cups of coffee and a somewhat rehearsed speech Roy took a deep breath and started.

"So listen, Ed... about last night.. it really shouldn't have happened."

Ed took a sip of his coffee quietly and didn't say anything.

"I'm not even, well, into guys."

"You came pretty fast for not 'being into guys'." Ed said deadpan.

Roy started coughing on the last sip of coffee he had been drinking.

"Ed! That's not the point, yes I eh- enjoyed the experience. But it could really damage my reputation if this got out. Yours too."

"Like I care about a goddam reputation." Ed scoffed. "But yeah, I get it. You're trying to be Fuhrer one day."

"Right...So will you keep this between us?" Roy couldn't even look him in the eyes. He felt guilty.

"Yeah. Of course." He quietly said, eyes on the floor before sitting up. "Well I should get going. Enjoy the rest of your weekend though." Ed's tone was brief and formal.

"Yeah uhm you too... are you going to stay at the dorms?" Roy asked hating himself, he wished Ed could continue staying at his place.

"Yes until I can get my own place, I never liked the dorms."

"Well if you have any problems, just let me know and I'll sort it out." Roy couldn't hate himself anymore, the conversation was so awkward and forced.

"Will do, I'll see ya on Monday." Ed hurried out the door and started walking towards headquarters.

As he closed the door behind him, Roy felt guilty and wondered if this was the right choice.
