Chapter 5

Ed woke up with earlier than he'd expected that morning. The clock on the wall said it was only 5:30 AM. He stretched his arms out in a yawn and the slight movement of his neck caused a sharp pain. 'Damn stiff hospital chairs,' he thought. He gripped his head with both hands and cracked his neck loudly, producing a grunt from the still sleeping Roy. He sighed at the significant relief in his neck.

"Come on Mustang," he said loudly, "time to get up. No more being lazy just because you can't see." 'You should be used to that anyways' Ed laughed softly to himself. Seeing that Roy wasn't getting up anytime soon Ed decided he would get them some breakfast. He left the room and closed the door quietly before heading down the stairs. When he got to the cafeteria he was amazed by the food choices available. 'Well, it is the hospital that the Führer is being treated in.'

Ed realised he had never really eaten with Mustang before, and so he had no idea what he liked. Even last night they worked straight through dinner time. Ed decided to to fill three plates with eggs, meats, and pancakes. Surely he'd like at least one of them. Trying to juggle the plates together was difficult, and eventually he sat the plates down on a table and sighed in defeat. "Umm, sir?" a small voice spoke up. "Would you like a tray?"

Edward blushed as he saw the young woman standing behind the counter filled with food, holding up a rectangular brown tray. "Thank you," Ed said with a deeper blush as he took the tray. He started putting the plates of food onto the tray and lifted it with more ease.

"That's quite a bit of food for one person," the cafeteria woman said. "Are you bringing for more than just yourself?"

"I uhh…" Ed stuttered. "I'm not a patient. I'm just getting some breakfast for Roy Mustang." The woman's mouth opened and she seemed to be trying to speak but couldn't get anything out. "You okay?" Ed asked.

"Roy?! As in the Führer? We were all told we weren't allowed to see him I didn't think he was really here!" The mousy girl looked down with a bright red face.

"Yeah well I'd better get going before he gets worried," Ed said and briskly walked back to the stairway. It seems the Führer being in the building was a bigger deal than Ed had realised.

When he got back up to the room Roy was still sleeping in his bed. He looked so peaceful and… harmless. Unfortunately not everything is as it appears. He set the food down on the table next to his bed. "Roy," he said. "I brought you breakfast. Time to wake up." The man didn't even stir. Ed looked over his body and swallowed. Mustang's muscled chest was uncovered and one of his legs stuck out almost the whole way up to his thigh. Ed wondered when he had stripped last night, remembering he was still fully clothed when he'd fallen asleep.

Ed reached out a shaky hand and gently touched Roy's chest. His skin was soft and warm. Ed flattened his palm on the man's body and felt the whole way across his broad chest. Could this beautiful creature really be the man who had raped him? He knew it was true, but he still found it hard to believe. Ed pulled his hand back and sat back in his chair.

The telephone in the room rang and Ed swiftly crossed the room to answer it in hopes of not waking the sleeping man. "Hello?" he said into the phone quietly.

"Fullmetal this is Riza Hawkeye," came the sharp familiar voice of the Lieutenant. "I need to speak with the Führer."

"I'm sorry, he's still asleep," Ed responded. "Can I take a message?" A brief pause followed before Hawkeye spoke again.

"I'll be there shortly with new reports for you. Roy is your responsibility, so I hope you keep him on task and don't let him become lazy. See you soon Fullmetal." She hung up and Ed let out a long sigh.

"Who was that?" Mustang called from his bed. He was sitting up now and putting on a shirt.

"Oh uh," Ed started, "It was Riza- err- the lieutenant. She's bringing reports for us to work on." Roy nodded and stretched his arms above his head.

"I smell food," he said, quickly followed by the rumble of his stomach.

Ed grabbed the tray and brought it to Mustang's bedside table. "Yeah I got some from the cafeteria. I didn't know what you liked so I got a little of everything." Roy smiled.

"Anything with protein is great," he said. Ed grabbed the plate with the meats on it and set it on Mustang's lap.

"Here, it's ham, bacon, and sausage." He placed a fork in the man's hand and watched him instantly begin eating. Ed portioned some of the eggs onto a separate plate for himself to start eating along with a pancake. He hadn't brought any syrup up, but the pancake had a decent amount of flavor by itself. Ed hadn't realized quite how hungry he had been until he finished his plate and realized he was still hungry.

Breakfast continued silently except the sound of forks scraping on porcelain plates as they ate. The silence was broken by a brief knock on the door followed briefly by the entrance of Riza Hawkeye. She saluted Mustang even though he couldn't see her. "Führer Mustang," she said in her very official military tone, "I've brought you today's reports for you to review with Fullmetal." She turned and handed them to Ed before facing Mustang and standing silently.

"Thank you, Lieutenant," he said, saluting her in dismissal. When she left he sighed. "Guess we gotta get to work. But first, Ed, could you come here? I need you to help me with something." Ed swallowed and walked a bit closer to the bed, stopping about two feet away.

"What do you need?" He asked nervously. He realized he was still angry at Mustang; angry and afraid.

Roy smiled and reached his hand in Ed's direction, swiping empty air. "Come closer," he beckoned. "I need you to put some medicine on my burns." Ed stepped closer still, shuffling his feet on the ground. When he stopped again Mustang reached out and grabbed his arm firmly.

"Wh-what are you doing?!" Ed exclaimed, pulling away. Roy held his grip on Ed's arm and pulled him roughly onto his lap, instantly pressing his lips to Ed's. "I'm taking what's mi-" he cut off in a fit of choking coughs from the quick jab of Ed's hand to his throat.

"Don't you fucking touch me you bastard!" he yelled as he retreated to the other side of the room. "I'm your assistant because I made an agreement and I won't break it, but I am not yours!" He ran to the door and turned the knob. "Have fun doing your reports without someone to read them." He left the room, running down the stairs and out onto the street. He didn't stop running until he got back to his hotel room.

He only had the room reserved for one more night. He'd stay there tonight and head back to Resembool in the morning. Let Mustang find some other assistant to harass. He doubted most other people would be as lenient as he was.
