I apologize for not updating in so long. I hope my readers aren't too upset with me. To make it up to you all, I've written a nice long chapter for ya. Hopefully this will make up for my lack of updates. I have two jobs and still in College so free time is very, very limited. Anyways, hope you enjoy :)
Edward sighed and whispered, "Thank-you Roy," before he drifted back off into his unconsciousness. Roy laid in silence thinking about everything that Edward had told him over the last few hours. He felt so bad for the young boy, no one should every have to go through that and he was furious over. "I will find out who did this to him and I will fry that mother fucker. I will make him regret every fucking breathe he's ever taken!" Roy thought angrily. He tightened his grip on Edward and took a deep breath before finally closing his eyes and following the young boy into the world of unconsciousness.
"More soldiers come each moment we delay. If we don't hurry and get out of here, they will kill us. I know that you're weak right now, but you're our only hope to survive this place." I felt my arm being tugged on and the grunts of a small voice. I struggled to lift my head while forcing my eyes to open. "A-Al…phonse?" He continued to pull on my arm as my legs trembled below me. The stone floor cold on my bare feel I managed to get the strength to stand up. The voice was Alphonse, but not the brother I was used to seeing. He had his body back and he looked like he had grown up. "Your…body…"
Alphonse smiled and wrapped his arm around me. "Let's hurry brother. You don't have time to stare." We walked as quickly as I could through the halls. The building halls are a maze, twisting up themselves like the vines of a forest. We reached a four way and I squinted down the dim corridors…
"This way Ed."
At the end of the corridor there were a row of beautiful canopied beds set on top of a velvet carpet. All of them are covered in a thick layer of dust. "The door is over here," Al stated pointing to the corner of the room. I stared at the beds, an unsettling feeling in my stomach, as I was led across the room by him. Upon reaching the door, I noticed there was a pile of something in the other corner. It had been shoved against the side of the wall.
"Al…" I mumbled, swallowing hard and walking towards it. I reached out my hand and touched a piece of the pile, when it suddenly turned to dust and vanished right in front of our eyes. I felt my knees buckles and I collapsed to the group in horror. "…Corpses." It's a pile of charred and crumbling bodies. I looked at the beds and then back at the pile. "Someone piled these bodies here and burned them alive Al." I sat there, slightly shaking in fear of what would happen to me and Al if we didn't make it out of here soon. Alphonse grabbed me and ran out of the room as the footsteps were heard only a ways down the hall.
"There's the exit brother! I can see the sun light coming in from underneath the door! Run brother!" Al flung the door open and pushed me into the brightness. The light blinded me.
The sun has risen, shining brightly through the window on to Edward's face. There laid Roy, softly staring at the boy, watching his chest rise with each of his silent breathes. Roy placed a gentle kiss on Ed's cheek as he carefully slid out of the bed. Roy cleaned up the bathroom, washed their clothes and towels, and scrubbed the mud from the carpets as Edward continued to rest.
"There. House is clean," Roy stated, looking around the living room. He glanced at the clock and sighed realizing it was now two in the afternoon. "I wonder if I should wake him up" Roy mumbled to himself as he walked into the kitchen. "What does that brat even like to eat?" he question aloud, scratching his head and staring at the open fridge. Grabbing what he thought sounded good, he began mixing ingredients together, covering himself in flour in the process. "Everyone likes pancakes... I think." He set the last platter on the dining room table. The sounds of footsteps thumped up above him. "Perfect timing" Roy yelled up the stairs, "Food is ready. Come down and eat." Edward grumbles as he walked into the kitchen. His eyes widened at the sight of all the food. There was a plate of eggs, bacon, a huge stack of pancakes, toast, jars of different jams and juices all across the table.
"Holy shit Mustang! This must have been a lot of wor-" he stopped abruptly, looking at Roy and busting into laughter. "Now that's a sight to see!" Mustang was covered in a bit of everything he cooked. "Did you wrestle with the flour bag?" he continued to laugh.
"Shut-up Brat! I'm not used to cooking, especially this much."
"You didn't have to make so much" Ed stated with a smile, finally catching his breathe. Roy shrugged his shoulders and smirked.
"I wasn't sure what you liked. Is what I made okay?"
"Yeah" Ed grinned and pulled out a chair and sat down. Roy did the same.
"Maybe I should have made more" Roy mumbled as Ed finished up the last few bites of food. All of the food was gone, Edward ate most of it, and there was now a stack of dishes to do.
"That was delicious! I can't remember the last time I've had food that good" Ed said leaning back in the chair, rubbing is bare stomach. Roy smirked again and turned to face him.
"How are you feeling?" he asked, wiping some of the flour off his own chest.
"Better. Thanks." Ed stood up and walked over to Mustang. He placed his left hand on Roy's head and shook some of the flour out, laughing a bit as he did so.
"Thanks Ed. Why don't you go shower while I clean up. I'll take one after you." He ran his fingers through the blond tangled hair.
"You can go first, let me clean up. And no I'm not giving you an option," he demanded, looking up into those dark eyes. Roy sighed and started to walk out of the room, only to have his wrist grabbed and be pulled back to Edward. Roy stared into the boy's eyes, as his heart betrayed him and beat hard, deep in his chest. Edward smirked and leaned towards him, standing on his toes, while his sweet syrupy, warm breathe made Roy's face flush. He reached his right hand up onto the back of Roy's head, and slid his fingers into his hair. Edward gripped his hair slightly before smiling. "Don't get any dirty thoughts you pervy old man."
"Huh?" Roy asked in a haze.
"You had a piece of egg in your hair" Ed stated, clearly not surprised. Roy's expression changed to a more slightly disappointed one.
"Urgh!" Roy yelled as Ed's automail had snagged some of his hair.
"I'm sorry! Just hold still and let me slowly pull my hand out. If you're hair wasn't such a mess this wouldn't have happened!" Ed yelled back and he tried pulling his hand free. Again, Roy let out a grunt. His eyes shut, head tilted back, and he bit his bottom lip ever so slightly. Another sound escaped his mouth, each sounding more and more sexual. "Roy?" Roy responded with an erotic hum. "Um…are you enjoying this?" Ed asked slightly concerned. Roy's eyes slowly opened to reveal those once dark, soul piercing eyes, now a lighter, glazed over grey color. Roy weaved his hand in his hair, pulling it free from the gears in Ed's fingers.
"Go...take a... shower" he panted. Ed took a step back and just looked at Roy. He smirked and shook his head no. "I'm your commanding officer Fullmetal. I'm not giving you an option."
"I will only follow your orders when at the office. Here, you're just a hot headed, stubborn bastar-" he was cut off, suddenly being pushed back against the kitchen counter.
"Really Fullmetal?" he smirked. "You're playing a dangerous game here,"
"Dangerous game, huh?" he chuckled a bit. "Please, you're going to burn yourself all up before the game even begins." Ed quickly placed his hands on Roy's neck, pulling him down and placing a kiss on Roy's lips. Roy placed his hands on Ed's hips, pulling him up onto his toes, kissing him back. Ed licked Roy's bottom lip; Roy quickly opened his mouth and brushed his tongue against Ed's. Pulling away, Roy lifted Ed up onto the floury counter and began kissing his neck. Ed's breathing increased with each kiss. A soft moan escaped him as Roy began nibbling. His kisses traveled down to his chest. Roy slid his finger over Ed's nipple, causing the young alchemist to shiver. Roy smirked and softly nibbled on it, switching between the two, sucking a bit on each one. Edward grabbed Roy's hair and pulled him up into a passionate kiss, shoving his tongue in Roy's mouth aggressively. Roy let a muffled groan out as he began kissing Ed harder. Roy grabbed Edward's hair and pulled his head back, a louder moan came from Ed. Roy dropped his head down onto Ed's shoulder, breathing heavily onto Ed's bare, hot chest.
