chapter 9:work

Roy woke up to the sun in his face and his alarm going off. He pulled his cover over his head to try and block it out as he hit around trying to turn his alarm off. "Stupid Mondays," And with that he finally hit his target and started to fall asleep again. "Waite... MONDAY!" Roy jumped out of bed and raced to get his shower, The whole time one thought kept passing in his head. Riza would kill him if he was late.

Mean while Ed was just starting to get up to the sound of running water and Roy yelling. Ed sat up in bed and stretched slowly, making sure to get the kinks out of where his automail was. After a huge yawn he slid off the bed and grabbed his pants and tank top, changing into them. He quickly went off in search of the rest of his cloths once he was done changing.

Meanwhile Roy had just got out of the shower. Right now he was pulling his blue pants on. Once that was done he put on a black t-shirt and looked for his blue military jacket. He grabbed his boots and left the room to go find his jacket.

As he was walking down the hall he passed Ed's room and saw no one was there. He quickly ran down the stairs and peaked in the living room. No Ed, "where could he be?" Roy thought as he went to check the wash room.

When he walked in the wash room he did a quick glance over to see if he could see it. He didn't see the Blue of the jacket but he did see what looked like a gold rope coming out of one of the piles. He reached down and pulled on it only to be scared shit-less at Ed popped up yelling.

"OUCH! Watch you're pulling on Mustang, It still hurts!" Ed said as he brought his still stinging tail to his face so he could look it over. After seeing nothing wrong with it he looked over at Roy seeing as he hadn't said anything yet. "What?"

"Y-Y-You," Roy said, pointing a finger at Ed. "What the hell are you doing in the wash!" Roy said still staring at the blonde, his own tail standing on end and his ears stiff.

"Trying to find my Jacket and overcoat; Have you seen them, I looked everywhere and can't find them." Roy only nodded and after a minuet of no more talking Ed finally spoke up, "Where?"

"Hanging on the coat rack by the door," Roy pointed in the general direction of the door.

A light pink dusting covered Ed's face as his ears twitched, "oh." He rushed out of the room without looking at Roy. Roy's tail kept swishing while he tried to his jacket, finding it in the dryer in the end.

"Hey sir, how are you doing?" Furey asked as he passed the two alchemists in the hall, a stack of paper work in his hands.

"Good, how about you kain?" Ed replied as he caught a few of the papers Furey was holding as the wind blew some away.

"Ok, why do you have your hood up, it's not that cold out yet. In fact it's like 76 out." Ed got a mischievous grin on his face before he replied.

Ed leaned in so he could whisper, "You see Furey me and Roy got into a fight on which was better, wearing a hood or a hat. I said Hood and he said hat so now we are trying to prove it. So tell me furey," Ed took a step back to stand even with Roy," who looks better?"

It was then that furey noticed that Roy had a military hat on. The dark blue fabric lined with gold and black. "Umm... Ed?" Furey didn't sound too sure, heck he didn't care, he just knew some of the pranks he had pulled on Roy before and didn't want to be at the center of one himself.

Roy pretended to be mad with Ed as they walked into the office with Furey behind them. Ed just smiled and walked into Roy's office, lying on the couch while Roy picked up his paper work from Riza. Ed just watched as Riza helped to bring some in, shutting the door behind her.

"So how you two doing?" She asked as soon as she sat the small pile of paper work down. Ed let his hood fall off as he sat up and looked at Riza.

"Other than the fact my tail can't seem to get a break," at this he pulled his tail up so Riza could see the cut on it. "I would say pretty good."

"What happened to it?" Riza brows furrowed.

"Well Roy nearly pulled it off," at this a sound was heard from Roy as he signed a paper." And before that Al bumped a vase and it brook on my tail. I'll be ok it just seems like my tail is doomed."Ed sighed and flopped back down.

Riza gave him a kind smile and walked over to him. "Don't worry, it'll be ok." She rubbed between his ears, which made Ed give a little hum. She then pulled up his hood so it covered his ears and walked to the door, "Please have that paper work done by the end of the day sir." And with that she left closing the door behind her.

As soon as she was out Ed jumped off the couch and walked over to the door. Once there he dropped to his knees and pressed his ear to the door. After a while Ed stood up with a smile on his face, Roy just watch with confusion. "I was so right." Ed stated as plain as day as he walked over to Roy desk, sitting on the edge aside of Roy.

"Right about what Kitty?" Ed's ears twitched and the kitty part but he didn't say anything.

"I was right that Furey would tell everyone and they would start making bets. Mind you I thought they would have more sense then some of them did."

Roy just smiled, "And who is being stupid out there now?"

"Everyone but Riza and Furey," Ed started to kick his legs and he leaned back on his palms.

"And just how are they being stupid?"

"What they are betting on." At this a light pink dusted the younger's face.

Roy sighed, "What crazy thing did they think up now?" He sat his pen down and turned his chair to face the blond.

"Well Falman thought we would get over this by the end of the week when you say the hood is better than the hat and then wear one to prove it. Breda said the complete opposite, Riza said that we would end up keeping up with this for about 3 weeks and then stop for no real reason. Furey said less than 3 weeks and that's when Maes came in." Roy groaned at the thought of then man coming in. " Riza made him leave after he got Jean to bet on his idea." The room was silent for a while, the whole time Ed was getting redder. Roy just picked up a glass of water from a side table and started to take a sip as Ed sighed, "Maes said that we would end up switching sides and then Fucking by the end of the week." Roy did a spit take as soon as he hear what his friend had thought of him.

"He what! Oh sorry."Roy said as he looked up to see Ed completely soaked. Ed's ears twitched as he slid off the desk. "No Ed stop," Roy put his hand up to block some of the water the boy was shaking off.

"You know, we should do what Maes said just to mess with everyone." Roy just stared at the boy standing in front of him, his mouth on the floor. Ed just rolled his Eyes, "Not the fucking part the switching sides part. You really are a Perv you know that." Ed crossed his arms and leaned agents the desk.

"Oh, yes I knew that." Roy suddenly found interest in the paper work again.

A moment of silence before, "Do you even have a hood?" Roy stopped to think before he shook his head and finished signing a paper. "Well I'll be back by lunch then," and with that the boy walked over to the door, pulling on his hood on the way. He opened the door and looked back before he left and closed the door behind him, leaving one really confused Roy in the room.
