Chapter 8: The Decision

"Listen up, Mustang." The voice said.

"Everything that boy's been telling you is a lie, he's evil, not me. He didn't want to tell you because he knew I'd tell you the truth."

"I don't believe you." Roy said instantly, talking to the darkness.

"Theres nothing I can do to make you believe me," The voice said back. "But my job is to control him before he gets too far. He's more powerful than he's letting on, making it look like I have him in my control, when really it's starting to go opposite. I just wish I could have found you before he'd brought you to his side." Though the voice had no regret in it, Roy was starting to think. This person made more sense than Edward did, was what he was saying true?

"In fact, he's so powerful, that the leader's had to detach his soul from his body just so we could have some control on him. I've only been able to knock him out for a little while, but when he comes back, you can't tell him any of this happened. If you do he could destroy you on the spot, it's best if you don't get involved, tell him none of this happened, and let us get back to our jobs." After that, it was quiet.

"Us?" Roy called. "Theres more than one of you?"

But he got no reply. Just then, Edward stirred behind him.

Roy was confused, he had to choose. Who was he supposed to trust? Of course he should pick Ed, right? Ed was Ed...he...why did he trust him? What if the voice was right? His life was on this line, this was a hard choice to make.

No.

No it wasn't.

"Ed," He said, turning and sitting down beside him.

"Did he hurt you?" Was the first thing coming out of Ed's mouth.

Roy shook his head, and then commenced in explaining everything the voice had said to him.

-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-

"That's a blatant lie! Every bit of it." Edward growled in anger, some few minutes after.

"I know it is..." Roy said. Edward looked up at him.

"You trust me because you've known me longer though, don't you?" He said, a dull hint to his voice.

Roy blinked.

"Of course not! I trust you because..." He trailed off, and sort of spaced out for a second.

"It...It dosn't really matter why I trust you, I just do." He said, standing up and turning towards the trap door.

"Yes, it does!" Ed foot-sweeped Roy, so he landed in front of him on the floor.

"There has to be a reason. There's a reason for everything." Ed said, a tone to his voice that said 'And-that's-final'.

Roy froze, not sure what he would say. He looked up at Ed, hoping he'd let him out of this. But he didn't.

"Well...Um I trust you because...because you trust me...I guess?"

Wrong.

Ed nicked Roy's shoulder with his black boot. "You're lying." He said plainly, apparently not amused.

Roy sat up and moved beside Ed, staring at the wall in front of him, and then at Ed.

Edward blinked.

"What? It's not that hard of a question." He said, confused.

Yes it is... His brain screamed.

And then- Then!

Roy leaned over and kissed him.

Ed blinked a few times, registering what happened.

"Get off!" He said, pushing Roy away from him, his cheeks red.

"What do you think you're doing!?" He yelled. Roy could only stare in horror and happiness at what he'd just done.

"Get out!" Ed shouted, pointing at the trapdoor. He didn't know what else to do.

Roy took off down the stairs, down the third floor and into his room.

What had he just done!?

This was not good.

Or...was it?

-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-

Yes, yes, very short. But Hey, who ever said short was bad? This is a fic about Ed, remember?
