Chapter 5: Fall

It was the next morning after Al had come and told Ed about the papers. The morning after Roy and Ed had almost kissed.

Roy and Ed booth had the day off, thanks to Riza and some paper work. Al had come over to do some work to get them back to normal, him and Ed were now in the library that Roy had; Roy had come in to check on them every so often, and when he did he chanced some glances at Ed, Ed did the same but neither noticed the other. Al on the other hand saw everything and had to smile to himself.

Roy was down stairs cooking some lunch. Just some grilled cheese sandwiches. He poured some orange juice in to 3 cups and picked it all up to go to the library.

Roy had his hand on the door knob when he heard a loud crash, a lot of cursing, and pounding. He quickly opened the door and went in. He sat the food and drinks down on the table and turned to go find to source of the noise, not that it took long; he could hear Ed's voice yelling form here. As he got closer he could hear what Ed was saying," No... I am ok... Yes just a little." He could also hear Al voice, but not make out what he was saying. As he came to the End of the library where he had a small 2nd floor mainly for relaxing He saw why Ed had been yelling.

"Ed! You ok." Roy ran over to Ed, who was holding his bleeding tail and almost biting his bottom lip off in pain.

"Roy," he looked at Al, "It is all my fault. I was on the 2nd floor and backed into a vase near the edge of the rail. Ed had no clue till it crashed onto his tail; I think some of it got in his tail." Al looked like he was blaming himself for it.

"It's ok Al, it was not you fault; besides we can go and clean out the cuts in the bath room. Ok." Al shook his head, "Al could you help Ed down the hall to the bathroom, I'll go ahead and set up a while." And with that Roy went down the hall to the bath room and started to set up.

*^Neko Neko!^*

About an hour later they were all in the dining room eating lunch. The cuts Ed got were not too bad, they were easy to clean out. right now Ed was looking tiered and dazed, Al had said it was because the side effects of the pain killers they gave Ed would be stronger the normally. "Hey Ed," said blonde looked up at mustang, "why don't you go and rest in the living room?" Ed nodded slowly, then got up and went to rest; giving a Huge yawn as he reached the door way.

Al smiled and said, "Thank you so much mustang. For everything." Roy looked over at him.

"No problem Al." Roy started to sip his juice.

Al looked at mustang, his smile turning somewhat evil. "So, you 2 going out yet?" Roy nearly chocked.

"Waite, what?"

"I ask if you two were going out, I saw the looks you have been giving each other all day."

"Ummm... No." Roy seemed a little out of it now himself.

"You should ask him out, I know he likes you. I also know you like him." Al leaned back in his chair smiling even bigger now.

"Ok...ummm...sure." Roy's ears twitched and his tail now waved a little.

"Ask him when he wakes up; he is ten to one out like a rock now."

"Al since when are you a relationship expert?"

"Roy I was a suite of armor for how many years, I watched as everyone else fell in love, and I did not get may by looking good."

"Wow, there goes the innocent little brother."

"No, I lost my innocents when me and may-"

"AL I DO NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT!"
