Here you go, the long awaited. Sorry it took so long... I was worried it might be too cliche so I wasn't sure I wanted to post it.

Chapter 6: Unexpected Twist

Chapter 6:

During his officer's training course Roy's thoughts wandered aimlessly towards Ed and what he might be drawing in art club. Riza perhaps? Did Ed like Riza? He remembered catching him drawing her before… but if that was so why did he request a date from him? Was it just to get Roy's approval for his best friend? Or was it something else? Did he care? No… but then why did he keep wondering about it?

Roy sighed. He was in a bad mood. He decided he was going to go straight to sleep as soon as the training let out. Fuck his last two classes. The last one was gym anyway. He did not want to see that man. He might not be able to stop himself from killing him.

Edward had gone ahead and did what he said he would, joining the art club. But today there was a sub, the usual art teacher was having a baby. Most of the other students were making her cards but he felt that it would be weird for him to write one, never having met the woman. So sitting in a corner by himself he drew in his own sketchbook. Before he knew it he was looking at Roy's form appearing on the page. Making an executive decision he added a military uniform as best he could. (check out my profile to see what he drew. No I did not draw it I'll find and give credit later.)

Surveying his work he thought the picture was worthy of being pinned up… If he weren't sharing a room with the guy he probably would have.

The bell rang and he shuffled to the AP English classroom. They had a pop quiz. Roy wasn't there. Edward tried not to think about it. Jean was apparently in this class too, neither of them had realized it previously. Jean normally sat toward the front and Ed was too preoccupied before to notice him. Jean joined him in the back and they passed notes together. Jean wanted to know if he had set his sights on any girls yet. Ed said he had been too busy to pay attention. Jean pointed out a pretty tall burnet girl he was interested in. She had a cute pair of pink glasses. Ed said he thought she was a pretty good pick and Jean threatened him not to try anything with her. He assured he wouldn't and then the class ended.

On his way out he saw Riza heading into the classroom and he warned her about the quiz. She smiled and thanked him.

Being his last class was gym Ed headed to the dorms. When he opened the door to their room he saw Roy already there sleeping quietly. Ed smiled to himself and decided napping sounded like a good idea. He changed and got into his bed facing toward the wall. He had decided he should always sleep facing the wall in case Roy wanted to wake him up, that way his flesh arm would be on top.

When he was almost asleep Ed heard a rustling followed shortly after by dragging feet. Why didn't he pick his feet up? Roy went to the bathroom. Ed settled more comfortably in his covers as Roy came back out. He felt his covers moving. "…what are you…?" he turned his head to see Roy's eyes were closed.

Roy got in the bed behind him and placed his left arm over Ed and his right under the pillow. Ed stopped breathing. Was this happening? What was he supposed to do? Should he wake him? If he left him Roy might think he was weird. But then again they were in his bed so it obviously wasn't his fault. And it felt kind of… nice.

The arm held him close. All of Roy was pressed against him. He could feel warm breath in his hair. After a while, when it seemed Roy would not wake any time soon, Ed relaxed. The extra heartbeat lulled him into sleep. He had only planned on taking a nap but he was so comfortable he slept for a long time.

They toppled onto Roy's bed. Roy was on top. Their shirts had been removed. Roy ran his hands down the perfect tan skin and flat stomach to reach for the belt as he kissed the boy under him gently."R-Roy are you sure we should…" He silenced him with a kiss as heat flared across his vision.

"It's okay." Another feather kiss to Edward's forehead.

Riza unlocked the door and walked in. "Roy, PT is cancel— uh…" she took in the sight before her then got an idea. "You know what…"

She left and came back with a camera, took a few shots, and left them to sleep.

Roy awoke feeling warm. Very warm. He was holding tightly to… a person? He opened his eyes. He saw a sea of gold shining in the morning light. He backed up to take in the sight of Ed's body curled to match his.

The movement woke Edward. He rolled his upper body back to look in Roy's direction, eyes bleary, a small dab of slobber on the side of his mouth. "..huuhhh… wha…"

"What do you mean wha? Why are you in my bed?"

Ed's eyes snapped into focus, the cute vulnerability gone. "Your bed? Notice that this is my bed."

Looking around Roy realized this indeed was his roommate's bed. "Why…?" he was a little at a loss for words.

A smug look entered Ed's face. "We had sex, of course."

"We WHAT?!" Roy tumbled backwards out of the bed. "How could… what? I don't… No.. Wait this is—but that was my bed…" he said weakly, the words meshed together.

"Geeze are you that unhappy about it?" Ed looked hurt.

"I… I'm sorry no I would never be unhappy… er.. wait… ahhh…" Roy carelessly threw a drawer open and grabbed some clothes, rushing into the bathroom. He closed the door with a bang and flicked the lock which sounded a reassuring snick.

His hard-on was unmistakable under his clothes. He hoped Edward hadn't noticed. He didn't want to scare the guy off… What was with that dream anyway? Or was it a dream? Had he just been really sleepy? No it was impossible.

Ed snickered to himself as he got ready for class. Then he stopped suddenly. What did Roy mean "that was my bed"? Whatever.

He went to first period and the whole school was buzzing with news. The P.E. teacher had been arrested. Apparently evidence of him being a pedophile was found and some students were accusing him of sexual assault. Their names were not released however. Ed was relieved. At least he didn't have to worry about that anymore.

There was apparently a new teacher who was a part of the military. He would be taking the P.E. teacher's place who was also a training officer for the Military Program.

When they got to second period gym a loud booming voice greeted the class. "Greetings children! Please quickly change you're uniforms! I will be right here waiting!"

Ed sat down in his usual place on the stage.

"AH!" The man said, "You must be Edward! I'm Major Armstrong!" The major stripped off his shirt. "Maybe seeing my perfect manly form will help inspire you to train on your own and become stronger! Good luck, my boy, I wish you well. You should strive to be this physically fit!" Tears streamed from his eyes. Then he put his shirt back on and went on his way.

Wow. Ed thought to himself. This guy is strange.

Roy, having a military family already knew Major Armstrong and greeted him happily. He knew the guy was odd, but he was kind and had a good heart. They were in good hands.

He was kind of disappointed they had no alchemy Fridays but the day went quickly enough. Before he knew it he was in firearms class watching group B shoot from the sidelines with Riza.

It was fine with him to just watch today. He was quietly pondering what he was going to do with Edward on his date tomorrow. "Hey Riza?"

"What?" She didn't spare him a glance.

"What would you think was a romantic date?"

"If you're asking me out, you know the answer."

"It's not that. Help me out."

This is their Friday. Review and you will have said date! )
