Roy asks Ed out for dinner one night, buying the small alchemist a set of Red roses. Rating: T

"Can you honestly tell me these mean something?" Ed asked sarcastically as he looked down at the roses Roy had just given him.

"Fine, they're just roses Ed. They're meant to look and smell nice." Roy stated back, annoyed at Ed's resistance to accept the red flowers he had given him.

"I'm not a girl Mustang, if you're going to get me something can you please make it a little less girly and something that actually means something?" Ed asked in return, and lowered the flowers onto his desk. Maybe he'd swing by Gracia's on his way to the dorm and give them to her. He knew she had a thing for flowers.

"I'll try to remember. Now do you accept?" Roy asked Ed, and Ed looked confused as to what the man was inferring to. "You forgot didn't you? I asked you out for dinner tonight earlier in the week. You never told me your answer."

'Shit that's tonight. I forgot to tell Al, he'll be worried and think I was off doing something dangerous. ...Which being with Mustang it probably was.' Ed looked up to the stern expression that now covered Roy's features. He couldn't accept, yet he didn't want to say no. He had looked forward to dinner with him, yet had thought it was a different date. And now he had no idea how to reply, so he'd be honest. "No I didn't forget, I just didn't thought it was a different day. Sorry but I can't go tonight, Al expects me home soon."

Roy let a small smile cross his lips before it turned to a devilish smirk. "Don't worry about it, we'll sling by the dorms before we go to the resteraunt." Ed nodded, though slightly frightened how that conversation would go. Al still didn't approve of him being with Roy, but of course the sex was just too hard to give up. Plus he did love the bastard for all his worth.

They continued out of the building, Ed carrying the bouquet of roses with him. They didn't talk much as Roy drove to the dorms, both exiting the car immediately after parking.

They walked up the stairs together and Roy eyed anyone with intent to kill if they looked at Ed the wrong way. Scaring off many people that stopped to say hello to the two. They continued until finding Ed and Al's shared room, opening the door. Al looked up from his book to the two. Ever since gaining his human form he was seeing more and more of Roy and Ed together and he obviously didn't like it. The man was his CO and much to old for Ed.

Roy was the one to speak up before the situation got awkward. "Hello Alphonse, I decided on bringing your brother out for dinner tonight, I hope you don't mind. I promise to have him back by eleven." Ed looked at him confused, knowing that it didn't take till eleven to eat dinner if it was only 6:30 now. Though Al nodded back angrily and Ed dropped off the roses onto the small coffee table in front of a small couch.

Al eyed them suspiciously before commenting. "Roses, you got my brother roses?'

"That's what I said!"

"This whole night is not about roses, and I will not let it be so. Now goodbye Alphonse and Edward please follow me."

If only Roy knew how wrong he was. The roses would be apart of the night, the whole night, yet nothing but that night.

This started as a small drabble and escalated. Took me about ten minutes to type the whole thing. And it is fault to three things I wrote this.

1.extreme boredom (I even re-read Skippy's list. A funny 213 thing list of things never to do in the military)

2.Procrastination...extreme procrastination.

3. I got a rose today from my grandmother, and I love roses.
