Chapter 9: It's good to talk
The phone was ringing ad Ed entered their house with Black Hayate. Both were soaking wet because the rain has started without any sings as they went for the dog's walk. Black Hayate was a present from his father's officers to them. His father wasn't very happy at first but allowed the pet as it mad his son's and his wife happy. He took the receiver in his hand and answered the phone.
"Mustang Residence. Edward is speaking." He took his boots and his coat off while waiting for an answer.
'Hey, sweetie, it's your father. How are you?' Ed rolled his eyes. Will he ever stop calling me that??
"I'm fine Dad. Why are you calling? It's not the usually time you do." Roy was sent to the east as some villagers revolted against the military. It was nothing major at first but than an officer shoot a child and it died. They never found the culprit but the bullet was from the military. Roy was a Brigadier General and one of the best officers and diplomatic Central had. It was nearly a month now he had left and his family missed him.
'I'm calling because we're coming home. The train leaves tonight and we arrive at Central Station tomorrow at 1.30 in the afternoon. We could calm the villagers down and got the situation under control.' Roy sighed.
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy that you can come home?"
'Sure I am. But I wish we could have found the officer who killed the child, so we could have him under arrest.' He sighed again, than Ed heard Hughes' voice in the background demanding that he wants to talk to his pregnant wife.
'Ed, I think we have to end our conversation. Will you be there tomorrow?'
"I'm sorry, Dad. But I have to do some project for school with Winry."
'On your free day? That's a pity. So I see you in the evening I guess?'
"Yes. I'm home for dinner. I tell Mom you called."
'Give her a kiss from me and hug Al.'
"I will. Dad?"
'Yes?'
"Take care and I love you." Roy smiled.
'I will and I love you, too. See you tomorrow.'
"See you tomorrow. Bye."
'Bye.'
They ended the call and Roy had a happy and distant smile on his face.
"Hey, Roy, what are you smiling at?" Hughes waved a hand in front of his friend's face trying to bring him back to reality.
"It's nothing, Maes. It's just great to know that you have a family waiting at home for you." He went back to his quarter preparing for his drive home.
Ed was 16 now. Most teenagers try to be independent and go for a dance with their friends at night or have quarrels with their parents about nearly everything they do or don't do. Roy sighed. His son wasn't one of the usual teenagers. He was quiet, nearly shy, until somebody called him 'short' and one could count the arguments on one hand Ed and his parents had since he turned 13. He had a relationship with Winry but they hardly went on a date. He could remember the talk he and Ed had one night as all the other family members were sound asleep.
Mini-Flashback-Thingy
"Hey, aren't you supposed to sleep?" Roy entered the room. It was some days before he left to the east. Ed looked at him than back to the books he was reading.
"I'm 16 and not 10. You don't have to tell me that I have to go to bed or when I have to go." Roy sat on the bed and eyed him carefully. He took one of the photos from the desk.
"How's the therapy going?" Ed smiled softly.
"It's going well. The Doc is nice, much better than the old jerk before." Ed snickered. He didn't have much luck with the choice of his therapists. The first one was an old man, with salt and pepper hair, who searched in Ed's behaviour for any signs why William had acted the way he had. The second was not really interested in Ed himself but Ed's biological father, Hohenheim. Now he had his third therapist in nearly 3 and half years. It was a nice young woman, fresh from the university. She was befriended with Megan; that way the Mustangs got to know her.
"Maybe, because the doctor is a woman? They are supposed to be more sensitive." Ed giggled.
"Yeah, maybe. But it's good to talk to her. She is really interested in me and my story." Ed's smile was distant, thinking of the nice doctor.
Roy still held the picture in his hands, where Ed and Winry were standing in front of the huge Christmas tree in the Armstrong mansion.
"It was a pleasant party." Ed looked at him curious what Roy was talking about. He smiled to the memory.
"Yeah it was." Our first kiss and this photograph obsessed guy had made a photo.
"How long have you and Winry been together now?" Ed blinked several times than looked at the ceiling.
"I think for nearly 3 years now." Roy nodded and put the photo back on the desk.
"It's a long time, isn't it?" He swallowed and blushed a light pink avoiding looking at his son. "You… Erm… I think we have to talk a bit… about prevention." Ed looked at him questionably before it hit him what exactly his father was talking about. He blushed nearly ten different shades of red.
"No… nonononoo." Roy looked up and was as red as Ed was.
"Do you mean… you have already?" Ed shook his head fast.
"No. I mean… we talked about it, but… you know… I… would you be delighted if I would assure you that I'm still a virgin?" He swallowed and pushed his loose blond hair behind his ear. Roy let out a breath he was not aware he was holding.
"Yes… actually I am delighted." His gaze softened. "I wanted to talk to you before you do it." He looked at the carpet under his feet. "Because I would assume that it's kind of hard for you to let this happen." Ed nodded nearly invisible. He couldn't forget what William had done to him. But his Doc had told him, that forgetting would be crowding it and Ed didn't want to crowd it anymore he had done.
He pushed another strand behind his ear.
"Y…you… could you…? I mean tell me what may happen?" He gulped. "You know… when we would do it…" Ed laid a hand over his eyes trying to cool down a bit. That's so embarrassing. Ed swallowed and took the hand from his eyes still as red as a tomato. He stood up and sat down beside his father on the bed.
"What do you want to know? I… mean… what do you know already?" Ed lowered his head.
"The biological stuff?" His voice was high from embarrassment. His father nodded to his answer.
"So you know the basic stuff. You just should know that it sometimes happens… when both feel it should happen. It is normally not planed and mostly a bit fast." His father swallowed again than looked in Ed's eyes. "But I know that you and Winry will know when you both are ready for that. But to be prepared…" He took a small package out of his pant's pocket and gave it Ed. "…you should have those." Ed eyed the small package of condoms still very red.
"Thanks." He swallowed. He didn't know what to say else. Roy stood up and ruffled Ed's hair.
"Go to bed. You need your sleep." Ed grinned wide.
"I will. Good night, Dad."
He got out of Ed's room, "Good night sweetie." and closed the door behind him leaning against it for several minutes. This went better than I thought. He walked to his own bedroom to get his needed sleep.
Mini-Flashback-Thingy-End
Roy heard somebody knocking on the door as he closed his suitcase ready to leave.
"Come in." Havoc entered the room saluting lazily.
"The car is waiting, Brigadier General." Roy nodded, took his suitcase from the bed and left the room, happy that he could be with his family the next day.
Ed didn't like to stand up this early. He hated mornings. They had a free week to work on a project for school and he and Winry would meet at Winry's because it was too hectic with a young boy and girl playing in the house with a dog. Riza had taken Elicia in because Gracia wasn't doing well with her second pregnancy and lay in the hospital. So they decided to go to Winry where only she and her grandmother lived and they could actually get some work done. The teenager stood up performing his morning routine before he slipped in his black leather pants, the black tank top and the black jacket he wore in his free time. He went down to find a note placed on his breakfast.
Dear Edo-chan
Al and I went with Elicia and Black Hayate to Gracia's to clean up before Maes comes home. We will go to the station from there. Help yourself with the breakfast and greet Winry from us. Take care, I love you. Mom
Ed smiled to the note and ate his breakfast before he left the house to go to Winry. He didn't notice the persons eyeing him from the distance. He slowly walked down the streets.
As they were sure nobody would come, the woman and the two men went to the Mustang house. They unlocked it in seconds and got into it. The woman looked around to see a family portrait hanging there and took it from the wall.
"Oh, Envy. Isn't that the boy you have a photo of?" Lust swept with her finger over Ed's young face in the photo. The person in question turned around and looked at the photo in her hand. He smirked. Must have been taken as the bastard's son had been born.
"Get it back on the wall. We are not here for that." She put it back as the third person, a small bold man, approached them.
"I'm hungry, Lust." She patted him on the head.
"Eat whatever you like, Gluttony." They walked into the living room.
"This major is really amazing. She handles family and job." Lust walked over to the heath where more pictures were standing.
"What a cute family." Her voice was full of sarcasm.
"Do whatever you like, I'm going upstairs." Envy walked upstairs. The first room was the master bedroom. How domestic. He walked further until he reached his destination. Here we are. He opened the door to a smaller bedroom. The bed was standing under the window which was lightly ajar. Envy approached the well made bed and stroked with his one hand over it. So here are you sleeping every night. I wish I could know what you're dreaming about. He looked at the desk standing next to the bed and took the photo with Ed and Winry on it. So you have a little girlfriend? How nice. Envy took the photo out f the frame. He smiled evilly than went to the commode opening the first drawer. He took one of the boxers out of it and sniffed taking the scent in.
He laid himself on the bed and sniffed again at the boxers as he laid the photo next to his head unzipping his pants. He freed his throbbing member stroking over his tip. He hissed to the feeling as he took the boxers in his other hand stoking his erection with it. The photo was back in his other hand. Oh, Ed. You're so sweet. I hope I can taste you soon. He smiled and moved faster until he came, soiling the boxers and parts of the bed sheets with his seed. He panted heavily and sat up.I wonder if you do this with this little slut here. Suddenly Envy got angry and tore the picture apart leaving a half of Ed and one of Winry. He kissed the part with Ed on it and lay back against the headboard.
Ed was sitting in Winry's bed eying her, while he pretended to read the book. She is so cute in her new skirt and her hair down. They were alone at Winry's home. Her grandmother decided to join some ladies playing bridge at the city hall centre. He swallowed and returned reading the book. He was surprised as Winry sat next to him on the bed looking him straight in the face what held a pink flush.
"Ed…I…" He couldn't think as her soft lips met his. They had kissed before, but this time was different. It was more intense and lust filled and Ed knew he was ready for what would happen next, as he kissed back.
