I really don't have much to say for this chapter except...FLASHBACK IN A FLASHBACK STORY! OW! * whistles *
BTW I use German in this chapter. It's probably wrong though, I used Google Translate for it so don't expect it to perfect.
Warnings- ummmm...language? I guess. Idk, not much.
The doorbell rang and Edward scrambled in excitement and anxiousness. He ran to the door spastic in fashion, but Mustang pushed him out of the way and opened the door. Alphonse smiled brightly at Mustang, a twinkle of happiness in his brown green eyes.
"Hello Alphonse, how nice to see you. Won't you come in? I bet you can't wait to see your brother," he greeted with a smirk adorning his pale, elegant face. Alphonse nodded his head, thanking Mustang. Mustang stepped aside for him to walk in.
Edward took a deep breathe and walked out from the hallway and looked at Alphonse, he gasped immediately, not expecting what he saw. Alphonse smiled even wider and ran towards Edward gripping him in an intense and loving embrace. Edward choked on air before returning the hug, wrapping his arms around Alphonse tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"Y-you...got your body...back...Al..." Edward stuttered, his sobs overwhelming him. Alphonse joined him in crying, nodding his head. Edward kissed both of Alphonse's cheeks, then his forehead, and then a light kiss on his lips. Alphonse smiled at Edward, "All of it, too. I have so much to tell you," he said happily.
"And I you," Edward said softly. They broke apart with one last squeeze. Mustang smiled at them, "I'll let you two talk," he said before going upstairs. They silently thanked him and went to the living room.
Alphonse handed Edward a suitcase, Edward opened it and saw all of his old clothes. "Thanks, I hope they fit," he said smiling. Alphonse nodded with a smile.
"Now tell me where the hell you went?" Alphonse said his smile sliding off his face. Edward nodded and told Alphonse about the other side, about Maes, and Alfons, and the others.
"I was so close to getting in the other Mustang's pants!" Edward huffed. Alphonse shushed him and pointed to upstairs. Edward nodded and sighed.
"You have to stop thinking he hates you because he obviously doesn't if he took you in!" Alphonse said softly. During the time Edward was gone, Mustang and him had talked quite about Edward. And Alphonse knew Mustang's feelings for his brothers.
Edward sighed, "that may be so but he doesn't like me the way I love him. If I could have just had a fling with the Mustang on the other side I could have died happy. But now I'm going to die alone because I don't feel attracted to anyone else in this universe!" he exclaimed quietly.

Edward walked down the crowded sidewalk of Munich, paying no attention. Street vendors called out for customers. Men and women alike walked down the street to work and other places. Edward didn't recall much before he hit the ground. He looked up and almost had a heart attack. The man looked down at him and gasped, grabbing Edward's arm and hoisting him up. Mustang? Edward thought to himself.
"Oh, es tut mir leid! Bist du okay?(Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?)" the man that looked exactly like Roy Mustang said. Edward rubbed his head and looked at him confused.
"I'm sorry I don't..." Edward said shaking his head. 'Mustang' nodded his head, Sie sprechen Englisch, mal sehen(You speak English, let's see)...I am sorry, are you okay? He tried in a heavy accent. Edward nodded with a sheepish smile on his face. Edward stared at the man for a moment, before smiling politely.
"Would you like to come over for coffee?" Edward chirped. The man smiled and put his hand out in front of Edward, "My name is Roy," he said slowly. Edward smiled wider and took the man's hand and shook it.
"Edward, it's a pleasure," Edward said his smile never faltering. They walked back to Edward and Alfons' apartment and thank the Gate Alfons wasn't home.
Edward made the stranger a cup of coffee and they made small chat over the coffee. The entire time Edward batting his lashes at the man. He had learned that sadly the man was working in the military, therefore he was into all the shit that the freak named Hitler was spewing out. Edward really didn't mind though, he just wanted to use the man. As cruel as that sounds, it was as close as Edward would ever get to Mustang.
"Would you like some more coffee?" Edward asked pointing at Roy's cup. Roy looked in his cup and nodded with a smile, "Please."
Edward got up and walked over to the coffee pot, he took Roy's cup and began to fill it. He jerked the coffee pot slightly so the coffee spilled on his prosthetic.
"Ah!" Edward yelped. Roy rushed over and grabbed Edward's hand, "Are you alright?" he asked gently. Edward nodded and looked at him sensually.
"I am...now that you're here," he said seductively. Roy's eyes widened before Edward planted his lips on his. Roy pushed Edward away and stared at him in shock. Edward looked into Roy's eyes for a moment and buried his face in his hands in shame. He walked over to the table, his face still in his hands and began sobbing. Roy walked over to Edward and got down on one knee, "Please don't cry, I am sorry I'm just not that way," he said gently.
Maybe he and the man could be in a relationship? Edward would deal with all the shit. It didn't matter to him. The man could keep it a secret from all his stupid Nazi buddies. He didn't seem like the other Nazi freaks. He would've shot Edward by now, he kissed the man!
"I'm sorry, I'm just so alone. And you look like this guy and," Edward broke off with another sob. Roy looked at him strangely, "Tell me," He whispered, rubbing Edward's knee.
..oO.o
Edward had told the man his story. About the other world. He tried his best to believe him but had difficulty. They had become friends and Alfons always told Edward that he should stay away from him.
It was hard to stay away from the man, but they were still friends. Edward embraced all the time around the man and could stare at him for hours. Alfons was...jealous to say the least. A week after Edward and the man started talking and going out to eat, Alfons had pushed Edward against a wall and tried to kiss him, but Edward pushed him away and ran out the door and stayed at Roy's place for the night. Sure, Edward forgave him but Alfons still didn't like Roy.
..oO.o
Alphonse listened to Edward's story and looked back at him.
"You don't have to dream anymore, just tell him how you feel and I'm sure he'll understand," Alphonse said placing his hand on top of Edward's flesh one. Edward sighed, "what if he doesn't and then he hates me?" he said softly.
Alphonse shook his head, "It doesn't matter, because if you don't tell him you'll spend your whole life wondering 'what if?' I want you to be happy Brother, just tell him. It'll make you feel better in the end. I promise you won't be disappointed," Alphonse smiled gently. Little did Edward know that during the time he was gone Mustang went through a huge pit of depression and drinking. He was stationed in a remote outpost and Alphonse couldn't stand it anymore and got him out of there. They had talked quite a bit about Edward and Alphonse knew how Mustang felt.
Edward nodded and leaned over to hug Alphonse, "Thanks Al, I don't know how I'll do it but I will."
Alphonse smiled and hugged his brother.
.oO.o
Kitty- That's all I can take for now. I tried so hard to find out where Mustang was stationed during the movie but, 'remote outpost' was all I found.
Roy- that shit was cold! :(
Kitty- Alright alright we all know how you hate the cold.
