Roy and Ed entered the little flower shop, a lady with brown hair walked up them, "Hello? May I help you?" She asked.
"Oh, hey Gracia!" Ed said, waving to the older lady, "Maes sent us to talk to you! Have you heard him say anything about a—" Gracia cut Ed off.
"Hold on a second, Edward! Who's your friend? Is this a friend of your fathers?" She asked more toward Roy than Ed.
Roy held out a hand, "Col…er…Roy Mustang. Nice to meet you." He introduced himself, almost forgetting to leave off the 'colonel' part at the beginning.
Gracia put her hand out, "Well, it's nice to meet you!" She said cheerfully.
Roy smiled at her and whispered into her ear, so that the other patrons of the flower shop would not hear him. "Maes told us about a man in the mountains. We have to talk to this man. He said you knew how to get there."
Ed stared at the two, quickly whispering back and forth. Is he flirting! Ed thought angrily, "AFTER LAST NIGHT! HE'S FLIRTING WITH A DAMNED GIRL!" Ed said aloud, thinking he had thought it, but when Gracia and Roy stopped talking and stared at him, along with a few other people, his face turned as red as a tomato, he turned around, embarrassed, and said, "I, uh…GOTTA GO GET SOMETHING!" He yelled, running the other way.
Roy blushed a little bit as Gracia looked at him, "Roy…what happened last night? He's just a boy!"
"JUST TELL ME WHERE THE MAN IS! I'M ON AN IMPORTANT MISSION!" Roy yelled, inpatients coming on him in waves.
"Fine…my door is unlocked. It's in a dresser near the bookshelf in the living room. Goodness, you act like you're from the military…" She explained, turning to a plant and pouring some water onto it.
"I am. Just not here. Thanks for helping." Roy said quickly before running off to find Ed. He could still see Ed, a few blocks ahead, but at least he knew where he was headed.
After Roy got the paper, he opened it up and realized that the paper was covered in alchemic symbols and such. There was a small map at the top.
Roy folded the paper back up and put it into his pocket. He continued down the main strip of the city until he saw a small diner.
Roy sat next to Ed at the bar-area of the diner, "I figured you'd either be eating or sleeping…sometimes I really think you might be part cat, Fullmetal." Roy said, laughing lightly.
Ed turned his head slightly, food hanging from his mouth. He swallowed and said, "Food in this place is really weird…" He looked down at the plate, "Want some…?"
"I'm fine…but about earlier…I wasn't, uh, flirting, I was asking her about what Hughes said." Roy explained.
Ed blushed, "I figured that's what was going on…I don't know why I freaked out like that…I was just…I don't know…l-let's go, now…" Ed stood up and grabbed his jacket and started to leave. Roy stayed there, "I've already paid! We can leave now…"
Roy still didn't move.
Ed turned and stared at the older man, he walked up to him. "What's…what's wrong…?"
"That look in Gracia's eyes…that look as if…as if I was the bad guy…I know I'm in the military and I've killed people…but…that was a different look than I've seen before. "What happened last night?" She asked, "He's just a boy!" she yelled…and I…I just looked at her…Ed…is it wrong for us to be together? Not just because we're both men…but…our ages…your so much-"
Ed cut him off by pressing his lips to Roy's, which earned a few stares and gasps, and a couple fangirl-ish squeals. "Roy…I'm eighteen now. I'm an adult and I can be with who ever I want. And I like being with you."
Ed was somehow pulled into Roy's lap. They sat there, tongues dancing inside Ed's mouth until the clerk of the store interrupted, "Take it somewhere else, please. Away from my diner!" He yelled.
At this time, five girls popped up from behind trash cans and bushes, "NO!" They shouted in unison, before realizing the odd stares were now on them, then they disappeared back behind the bushes and trash cans.
Ed and Roy stared at where the odd girls were, stood up, and left. Making the girls let out a simultaneous, "AWW!
Once away from there, Ed asked Roy, "What did that paper say? The one you got from Gracia?"
"Well…looks like were headed to the mountains. She didn't know his name, that, or she doesn't want to tell me." Roy explained, taking the paper out, unfolding it and handing it to Ed.
Ed skimmed over the map, they were maybe a large city's length away, and it was all up hill. This would take days to get there…but he'd traveled further, so this was nothing.
Ed looked up at the mountains; it sort of looked a bit scary. He didn't see any conveniently placed trails going around the sides of the mountain, so how did they get up the mountain?
Maybe the man's house was at the bottom of the mountain…?
Roy looked ahead skeptically, "That doesn't look like fun, does it Edward?" The way he said 'Edward' was a bit on the sadistic side.
"Nn…no…" Ed mumbled as he stared up at the sun slowly setting behind the mountains. It turned the clouds into beautiful pink and purple cotton candy. "Maybe we should rest for the night?" Ed said, sitting down on a small patch of grass next to the road. They hadn't even gotten out of the city yet!
"That sounds good…" Roy said, sitting next to him. They sat in silence for a few moments before Roy pushed Ed onto his back and climbed on top of him, "Except…I'm not tired yet. We should," Roy bent down and licked Ed's neck, sending a shiver through the smaller boy's body, "stay up just a little longer. Doing," Roy started to grind with Ed a little, making Ed moan out, "adult things."
Ed clung to Roy, and said through hitched breathes, "Th-that sounds good…but…aren't we still on the side of the road in the mid-middle of town?" Ed's blush kept growing and growing as Roy ignored this obvious fact, and that people were staring, and that the five girls from before were back, and began to have butt sex with him on the side of the road. You know, until the cops came, good thing Ed was fast, and his embarrassment pretty much fueled him on, as he ran out of the city, only thing he was able grab to cloth himself before he ran was his coat.
Ed ran down the paved road until it turned to gravel, he switched to running in the grass. He turned back and didn't see Roy, What were they going to charge them of, anyway? Well…probably public nudity or something… Ed thought as the figured he was far enough away from the city to stop running. In fact, he was at the bottom of the mountain. No houses, but there was a run down mining tunnel. Ed looked through the some broken boards in the opening as he wrapped his arms around himself to keep the coat on. There was an abnormally blue light inside, it was there for a moment then disappeared.
ALCHEMY! Ed started to brake the boards down and began to run through the tunnel, trying not to shout out his pain as he stepped on nails or sharp rocks with his real foot. He followed the tunnel maybe a quarter of a mile before he found a large metal circle on the floor. No doubt an alchemic symbol drawn in the middle. What did all this mean…?
About this time, he heard scattered foot steps a far ways away, he heard wood braking and someone coming closer and closer. He had figured it was Roy when the black haired man caught up, Roy was able to get all his clothing on, Ed noted to himself. Although, even after Roy stopped running, the foot steps continued. Ed felt like someone was staring at him, he thought he saw a figure disappear back behind some wood piled up near the walls.
Roy looked at the metal floor, "Alchemy?" He asked, "You said it didn't exist here…"
"I-I know…in most places it doesn't…it did when I had to get out of this world…and now this…I just…I'm not sure anymore…Roy, I'm starting to think were never really going home…"
Roy took Ed in his arms and let him rest his head on his chest.
The floor shook and began to rise upward. Ed and Roy looked around surprised, it was like an elevator.
A/N: Well…I got a lot of writers block on this chapter… :/
Also this chapter calls for some news! XD
First, because people keep asking for M chapters, I will write a sequel story when I finish with a collection of all the smut times, or in other words, the deleted scenes (that I really didn't wanna delete…D:) But I didn't want this story to be a smut filled story…so…yeah…
Second, I would love to thank you all for your support in reading this story! You guys are all so nice! ^^
Third, because I am very, very, very bad at just letting a story happen, I have already decided everything that will happen in this story, including the majority of last chapter…-^.^-' So the chapters will hopefully come out a lot faster than normal!
Forth, I would like to share with my loving readers a scene I took out of this chapter for the incredible OOC ness and the incredible randomness…and well…it just didn't fit…XD But it was there!
I now present, Out Of Control and Out Of Character! XP
Roy and Ed were walking through the main strip of town after talking to Gracia.
Roy looked down at their feet, then back at Ed. He linked arms with the boy and began to skip. "WERE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD! THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ!" He sang.
Ed stopped, "What are you doing?
"Making the long walk more enjoyable..."
"No, you're not...your being out of character..." Ed said, hands on his hips.
"AM NOT! THIS IS NORMAL FOR ME!" Roy insisted.
Ed looked up at the sky, "HEY! AUTHOR! MAKE HIM MORE IN CHARACTER!"
At this point, Roy began to spin like a ballerina.
Ed sighed, and facepalmed, "DOES THE WIZARD OF OZ EVEN EXIST IN AMSTRIS! WHAT ABOUT HERE IN WHATEVER THIS WORLD IS! IF SO, HAS IT EVEN BEEN WRITEN YET! THINK THINGS THROUGH BEFORE YOU WRITE ABOUT THEM, DAMNIT!"
At this point in time, I fell from the sky and began to sob and cry, "I'M SORRY! I JUST GOT CAUGHT UP IN WRITING AND-"
"NO EXCUSES! YOU'VE MADE MY BOYFRIEND ACT LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT! I'M LEAVING THE STORY!" Ed yelled as he through down his script, which had been rolled up under his sleeve, and stomped away.
I sighed, "There..." I spoke to Roy, "He's sad, now go comfort him..."
Roy stopped spinning and looked at me, "He's not sad, he's actually pretty ma-"
"I AM THE AUTHOR AND THE DEMANDING FANGIRL NOW GO FUCK YOUR BOYFRIEND AND LET ME WATCH!" I screamed at the black haired man.
Roy chases after Ed. They fucked, and I watched.
Oh dear lord, does anyone know what was written there! XD That story is posted up by itself on fanfiction, but seeing as it was originally part of this story, I thought it couldn't hurt to just add it into the author's note! If anyone read it when I had this story up by itself, as it's own story, it was altered for that so it could be understood by people not reading this story, but this was the original way it was written!
Well, these author's notes were really long this time, so I'll talk to you guys later! Please review and favorite and maybe subscribe! ^^
'Kay! I shuddup now!
