Act one: "Jealous"
"You said what?" Alphonse dropped his jaw "You asked Winry into a date?"
"Yeah, I asked her for a date, Al what's your problem?" Ed scowled his brother while dressing the suit "She came here to see me, why not?"
"I never saw you interested on her before brother… besides, you never showed any interest for ANY girl." Al crossed his arms; Ed has been acting so weird lately.
"Piss off Al! I hate this stuff!" Ed struggled against the hot suit, it was so annoying and after being dumped by the Colonel bastard thousand times he deserves some fun "It's only a dinner if you wanna know."
"Brother, if you hurt Winry's feelings I will never forgive you." Al left his brother and locked himself in their bathroom.
"Shit, Al c'mon," the blonde followed his brother "I won't do anything, get out of there!"
Al remained quiet, he was so pissed because his brother wasn't telling what's going on, and surely Ed was up to something.
"Okay… you won, we talk later." Ed gave up on Al and headed to Winry's hotel.
Later then, Ed was sitting nervously in front of the blonde mechanic. They went into a nice place, an expensive seafood restaurant.
"What's the matter?" Winry narrowed her eyes "Your food isn't good enough?"
"The view isn't good enough." The short alchemist scowled.
"Don't blame me, I did my best," Winry glared at his friend "You're such a useless, do you know?"
"Shut up! It was your fucking idea!" Ed turned his head to see behind the blonde girl, precisely in a few tables ahead "I cannot see them!"
"Ed you can be alchemy's genius, but in your personal life you're such a dork." the blonde girl shook her head "First you tried porn movies and got dumped, and then gifts and other sort of things. All failed attempts."
"Okay love genius, what should I do now? He's dating that girl from the flower shop." Ed bit his lip, damned fucking Colonel left him so desperate that he had to ask help from Winry since he and Al were inexperienced.
"Let me see," she looked at the colonel's table and saw that the raven man and the brunette chatting "Nothing happened yet," she winked "Go there and do what I told you before."
"I don't know if I can do it." Ed was rather trembling there and his legs refused to move.
"Look under the table, discretely." the blonde girl grinned and Ed frowned but obeyed. He dropped his napkin under the table and leaned down to get it. He could notice that she was holding a huge wrench under the table "Meet Mr. 'Do what I'm saying or else you shall die'."
"I'm going!" Ed stood quickly as he could.
Roy was enjoying the company of Lucile, his new date. She was pretty, smart and Havoc was trying to ask her to go out for weeks, but he got her in just one day. On the day after, the jealous face on his subordinate was simply priceless. What a ladies's man need to do to keep his status.
He looked at her, she was interesting, but something was wrong in there. She should be blond, yeah surely it was better. Her brown eyes should be golden, two large expressive golden eyes. Damn Ed, if were you here, it could be perfect. But I can't. You're my teenager male subordinate and I don't wanna be arrested for corrupting minors. Someday you'll understand and my heart will stop to hurt so much when I think on it.
"Hi Daddy!"
Roy turned his head to his right side and saw the said devilish blonde grinning.
"Fullmetal?" he frowned.
"Daddy! You're so cruel, don't call me by this name!" he jumped into Roy's lap "Mommy is waiting for you at home."
"Roy, do you have a wife and a kid at this size?" the brunette stood with an angry red face "You said that you were single!"
"But I AM single. He is my-" Ed caught the older man unarmed and crawled into his neck hugging him tight.
"Daddy I wanna go home." The blonde smirked and looked at the upset girl "My daddy doesn't wanna you."
"Fine then, Good bye Roy Mustang." She left the table.
"What the hell is going on, get out of my lap!" Roy pushed the blonde to the floor.
"Ouch… it's my payback." Ed smirked "You're not getting any other than me in your menu."
"I'm afraid that I have shrimp allergy." Roy showed his trademark smirk.
"You're such a bastard!" Ed rose from the floor and ran to the exit.
"A DEAD bastard." Winry said behind the Colonel surprising him "Meet Mr. Don't mess with Ed or you shall die." She showed her huge wrench to him.
From that day the Flame Alchemist never was seen on that restaurant or any place with a girl again.
Act two: "Trust"
Al was so upset with his brother. Ed was up into something and haven't talking with him lately. By this thought he crushed the paper bag which he was bringing home. It was Ed's lunch.
"Oh-oh. I have to buy something again…"
When he came home, Ed was locked in the bathroom; this was the third time in a day. He's been locked there often lately. Al approached carefully the door, hoping that Ed couldn't hear him. But Ed was so busy inside that he didn't hear the suit of armor in front of the bathroom's door.
He was quite busy fantasying pale, soft and big hands tracing the lines of his muscles, caressing his sensitive skin. Experienced wet lips sucking and licking his hard nipples. Those dark eyes filled with lust and desire, watching and enticing him.
Ed released his restrained erection and stroked himself, from the tip to the base, in a frenetic rhythm.
Soft moans escaped from his parted lips, but he didn't care. Al was out at shopping.
New images formed on his mind, the gorgeous body of his partner and he could even catch the smell of his incredible cologne. Overheat came to his body when Ed imagined how Roy could be in his lower regions. He saw the colonel at the dressing room once, but he couldn't see so far.
His hand increased the speed, and the boy felt his body tensing before the promising release. He came shouting the name of his love - platonic love – but deep inside of his heart, he knew that Roy feel the same. He could notice the look of restrained desire on those charcoal eyes, and the pang of guilty behind them when they're together.
The teen enjoyed the aftershocks inside of the bathtub and then decided to take a shower.
Later in the same day, Ed noticed his brother so quiet and avoid to his presence that the blonde could only imagine what was going on with him. Al was reading a book seated on his bed when Ed decided to have a man to man talk.
"Hi Al. What's up?" Ed sat by the suit of armor side.
"Brother, do you trust me?" Al asked without looking at him.
"Wow… why this question all of sudden?" Ed raised an eyebrow.
"Today I heard you in the bathroom." He closed the book and stared at his brother.
"W-what?" Ed blushed and got some distance from Al.
"Yeah, how could you hide your feelings from me?" his voice sounded hurt.
"Al… what are you talking about?" Ed tried to avoid the situation.
"You have a serious crush on the Colonel, don't you?"
"I-I don't! You're fucking crazy…" the blonde rose from the bed and sat on the bedroom's small couch.
"Don't tell me lies, brother! I HEARD you calling his name!" Al increased the tone of his voice.
"I… okay, you're right." The blonde sighed and closed his eyes "I'm fallen for that bastard, but don't worry he's been dumping me out each time that I try. Satisfied?" the golden eyes turned from embarrass to anger.
"No, you didn't trust me. I'm against your relationship with the Colonel, but I have the right to know. We are together on this, you're so selfish…" Al paused to control his anger.
"It's not fair! I didn't wanna this too!" Ed fought against tears "I said don't worry 'cause this relationship doesn't even exist!" he shouted and punched the wall with his right hand.
"Promise to me that you won't run after the Colonel." Al stood "He likes women for god sake! He'll never look at you. Don't hurt yourself with this feeling."
"More than I am?" Ed gazed sadly at his brother. He lost the battle against his tears, but he held still. He can't cry, not in front of Al.
"That's why I'm begging you... forget the Colonel."
"Yeah, guess you're right…" the blonde sighed "Our goal is more important."
"I didn't say that."
"I'm going out." The blonde grabbed his coat and left his brother to his thoughts. No mather what he said, Al was his only brother... and the only person who cares for him.
Act three: "All that he wished was a little bit of love"
The loss of blood was making him dizzy. He was knocked down at the dirty floor. Beaten and exhausted, his body refused to move. The distant laugh from his enemies was echoing inside of his head, haze took his senses. When it became too much for him to bear, darkness came and overcome him.
Ed woke up in a hospital bed. He realized that wasn't dead, but wished he was. They lost the Philosopher's stone track and have been searching for it for months. Despair took him when he tried to move and felt a sharp and paralyzing pain. His broken ribs were tightly wrapped together and his stabbed shoulder was hurting like hell, making him pant in distress.
"Brother?" he heard the voice of his younger brother "Are you awake?"
"Al…" Ed's voice cracked, he was so thirsty "Water…"
"Water? I got it, let me help you." Al shifted Ed's upper body carefully and brought the cup of water close to his lips "Here, take it slowly."
The short blonde drank avidly and coughed a little. It brought more pain and made him whimper. Al laid his brother again.
"I was so worried, you slept two days." The suit of armor showed the flowers on his room "Our friends came from Central to see you."
"Sorry Al." Ed stared at him "I tried to bring you back, but I couldn't."
"What's your problem? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Al yelled "First was Scar, then the Fifth Laboratory, Father and now terrorists. If weren't I and Major Armstrong probably they'd kill you."
"I promised to bring you back no matter what it costs." Ed replied and averted his eyes. It hurt so much.
"I don't wanna that!" the younger shouted "I don't wanna you trying to kill yourself just to forget your feelings. Don't use your promise as excuse!"
"Al… I was so selfish… you're my only family." Ed whispered.
"Listen... I was wrong okay? I thought that your feelings for the Colonel would make you surfer." Al caressed Ed's blonde mane "I want you to be happy and be loved, if you chose him... I will support you."
"I can't..." the blonde tried to avoid his tears.
"I prefer to spend my life on this suit of armor to see you like this."
The blonde smiled slightly. Words were unnecessary, their brotherly love were stronger than simply words.
Listening from outside behind the door, a raven man was lost on his thoughts. He went there to pay a formal visit to his subordinate, but heard the entire conversation. Ed really loves him. The man thought that the teen was only attracted to him, its normal for Ed's age has a temporary crush on someone.
When the blonde suddenly lost his interest on him, he felt so disappointed and hurt... Roy thought that Ed didn't deserve his love. How stupid he was. The blonde was trying to forget him since he got dumped. All that Ed wished was a little bit of love. Silently, Roy crossed through the hospital's corridors with his heart renewed. Tomorrow will be a perfect day for a visit.
To be continued.
