I'm doing my best to post as many chapters as I can before spring break is over. I do apologize for spelling errors and some poor sentence structure here and there. I struggled a bit with some writers block in the last 2 chapters so I don't know if they were really written the best. I would appreciate some feedback to know if my rewrite is a lost cause or not.

"Told you it was too much information" Edward mumbled as he walked back down the stairs. Roy made sure Edward was out of sight before reaching down and grabbing the crotch of his pants, pulling the fabric away from him. Roy groaned at the slight pressure problem he was experiencing.
"How awkward…. This should not be happening…not when the thought was with him," Roy was back to talking to himself. "What's wrong with me?" He sighed again and pulled the comforter off the bed. Something caught his eye though that was in the bed where Edward was laying. "Is this dirt?" Roy reached down and picked up a small piece of dried mud. It crumbled when he added a little pressure to it. He quickly pulled the sheet off only to see tan stains and dirt where Edward had been sleeping.
"He was completely clean last night…. I double checked….even his…err, yeah….was clean. How is this possible?" Roy was a new level of confused. It was time he came to the bottom of this, and the only way to do that was to get Edward to talk. Roy grabbed the blanket and headed downstairs.
The interrogation had officially began for Roy had enough of all the mysteries. He understood Edward expressions and moments of silence were due to some trauma, but he was tired of being useless. How can you help someone if you don't have even the slightest idea of what happened to them? Enough was enough.
"Is this my friend or my boss asking?" Edward curled up in a ball at the end of the couch, sitting opposite of Roy. The older alchemist just gave Ed a stern look. Without turning his gaze away from his lap, Elric knew Roy was serious. He just wanted to avoid the subject and try and move on with his life, as much as a struggle that may be, he didn't care. He just wanted it too all be done and over with.
"How about this? I'll ask some questions, and you can just nod yes or no. Then the small details, you don't have to say. At least right now." Roy sighed and slid off the couch to kneel in front of the boy. Edward knew he couldn't keep it a secret forever, the military would not put up with the silence nearly as well as Mustang has. Edward wondered why Mustang hadn't seriously pushed him to talk about it. Normally Mustang wouldn't have a problem torching a limb or two to get his answers. Maybe it was because he was just a kid, or he felt that method wouldn't work.
"After you tell me something," Edward glanced up to meet onyx eyes, struggling to swallow. His heart began to race the longer he stared into those eyes. Roy nodded at him to go on, confused but curious. "You've been so kind to me. You even bathed me. A regular co-worker, especially a superior, never would have done that for me. Why are you so nice to me?" Roy chuckled softly, closing his eyes, but didn't give a response. "You agreed to my terms, so answer me." Edward demanded.
"I assumed you came to me for a reason. I was so relieved to have finally found you that contacting someone else for help never even crossed my mind. Taking care of you was all I cared about Edward." Roy ran his hand through his hair before opening his eyes to meet Ed's sparkling eyes. "Is all I care about." Those words made Ed's heart flutter while he opened his mouth to speak, but quickly close it. "Everything okay? Your face is rather flushed Edward." Edward just snapped his face away and looked out the big window. The trees where he was found were in plain view and it made Edward uncomfortable. He stomach churned while his fist lightly gripped at his skin. Roy could tell something immediately went wrong and leaned towards the boy, putting a hand on his back. Edward could hear his name being called, however, no matter what he tried to do, his body didn't want to respond. He wanted to warn Mustang about his stomach, he wanted to run to the bathroom or even the kitchen sink, but nothing would move.
"-Ve" Roy raised an eyebrow at his sound effects. "S…ry" Edward mumbled before his body lunged forward and he vomited on the floor and Mustang. Roy didn't seem phased though, he just took a deep breath and held it, quickly grabbing the tangled blonde hair and pulling it back so it's out of the way. "I'm sor-" cut off again with another violent gag followed by more puking.
"Don't worry. Come here and try and hold it," Roy stated calmly, wrapping an arm around Ed's waist and lifting him up like a child with one arm. Edward wrapped his legs around Mustangs hips loosely, as he was hurriedly carried back into the familiar bathroom. Roy sat him down in front of the toilet and quickly snapped the elastic band off the loofa to tie the messy hair back so it wouldn't get in the way. For the next 20 minutes, Roy kneeled silently behind Edward, rubbing his back and tracing invisible circles on his bare skin with his fingertips. The internal violence seemed to stop for the time being so Roy went and got a glass of cold water for him and some nausea medication.
"I'm really sorry….my stomach just turned and I wasn't able to warn you" Edward brushed the few strands of hair that had come lose out of his face, avoiding eye contact.
"Its fine, I'm just going to shower. Will you be alright for a few minutes?" Edward nodded but hesitated at leaving the room. His stomach was still uneasy and he didn't know what to do if he were to get sick again. Roy wouldn't be there to help him right away. He desperately wanted Roy to stay by his side. He didn't want to be alone. "Your face says it all, ya know? Go ahead and stay there, just don't sneak any peaks." Edward rolled his eyes at his perverted comment, but he could feel his face heat up and his heart flutter again.
"Thanks…" Edward gave him a soft smile. Roy set the class of water next to him and stepped a few feet back, turning on the shower.
"If you need anything, just ask. I'll get out immediately." Edward nodded and out of the corner of his eye he could see mustang reach down and unbutton his pants. Edward swallows, turning his head a little, trying not to watch. Something was almost begging him to watch and the battle with himself seemed to rage on for a while. He took another quick glance to see Mustang undressing in slow motion, he was down to just his boxer. His fingers slid under the band, tugging them off his hips as Edward followed his hands all the way down to his ankles. Ankles. Shins. Knees. Thighs. He paused for a second, knowing he shouldn't be looking at his commander this way. "So much for no peaking," Roy couldn't help but point it out, enjoying the severe embarrassment Edward was experiences for being caught.
As Roy was rinsing himself off, he decided to tease Edward just a bit more. One of the only times Edward seems to relax is when he's being teased and Roy enjoyed that. He looked around the shower, trying to think of what he could possible use to start off his little game, when it suddenly hit him. The shampoo bottle Ed broke open, the consistency of the soap and the color brought back the dream Ed was having last night.
"Hey, tell me more about your dream last night," Roy smiled, peering his head out of the shower. Edward whipped him a glare that Roy only laughed at. "Oh come on Edward… Pleeeaaase" the begging only made it worse.
"I already told you…" Roy shook his head in disappointment, he wanted Edward to play along and he wasn't.
"I want to know more. Why did I kiss you?" Edward, as red as his usual jacket, just began to hum and mumbled words. "Louder. I did say please earlier," the smile only growing in size as Edward began to squirm uncomfortably.
"I don't know…I woke up and you were shirtless and crouched above me on the bed… next thing I know you were lightly touching my face with your fingers…." Roy pulled his head back in, and began to wash his body off. A thousand questions running through his head, like why he had a dream like that and why he didn't fight him off.
"You like me that much Edward? Allowing me to dominate you in your dreams," sarcasm very obvious to Edward, but he caught on to Mustangs game. Playing the game with him seemed like a fun way to test Mustangs limit. Edward let out a small laugh, already throwing Mustang off.
"Never thought of you like that, but in my dream, it's like you had me under a trance. I only wanted more," Edward voice shook because what he was saying was actually true. The dream made him truly happy, for a minute he completely forgot he had only been with Roy overnight instead of months. He felt so happy to have someone show such strong affection towards him. Edward twisted his body and leaned his back against the side of the toilet. Roy's body temperature was rising, quickly, playing out the scenario in his mind. Edward grunted as he changed his position, separating his knees and pulling his feet towards the side of him. Roy peeked out of the shower to make sure he was alright, only to notice Edward was looking down at his lap, and Mustangs eyes followed. His eyes widened in surprise to see a bulge through the shorts Edward was wearing. Mustang's heart began to race as his own dick seemed to react. He quickly pulled his head back while staring at his own tough situation.
"What the hell do I do? I can't just do the normal and jack off with Edward right there! He'll think I'm a pervert!" Roy began yelling and arguing with himself over his thoughts. His game took a surprising turn and he really had no idea what to do.
"Roy?" Edward was feeling very awkward in this situation and decided playing along was a very bad idea. He put his hands over his dick and just the slightest pressure caused him to feel very aroused, and a soft moan escaped Ed's lips. "Shit" Ed whispered, really hoping Roy didn't hear his little screw up.
"Uh… What was that?" Overwhelming embarrassment filled Edward to the point he thought he was going to pass out.
"Nothing" he quickly added. He glanced up at the shower to see the curtain was left open a few inches and he could see part of his friend, as he innocently was trying to wash his hair. He was completely fixated on him, the curves and bulges of the muscles down his back. So fit for a 30 year old man, actually just simple gorgeous. Edward kept replaying the dream in his head as we secretly watched, hesitating momentarily before slowly sliding his hand up and down on his shorts. He couldn't contain himself and he had no idea why. All he knew is he had to be very quiet and careful so Roy didn't notice. Roy took the time to wash his body, making sure to clean every inch since Edward had gotten sick on him
"How are you feeling?" he called from the shower.
"Go…od" Edward cleared his through, knowing his voice just came out airy and shaky. The voice caught Mustang off guard, and his erection grew bigger. He knew that tone of voice too well after spending countless nights with women. He carefully peeked over his shoulder to see out of the shower and was struck with awe. Edward had his head tilted back against the wall, eyes closed, bottom lip was being bitten, and his left hand was slowly massaging himself. Arousal kicked into overdrive and Mustang felt like he wanted to jump the poor kid. They seemed to come to the same realization at that moment…
"I want him"
That's it for now. They have finally realized they like each other, or at least they do get turned on by each other. I will give a warning, the next chapter, is going to be much more serious and possibly depressing. I haven't fully decided on how far the next chapter will go yet. Please leave a review so I know what you guys think. Anything you would like me to include, change, or just would like to see eventually? Please let me know! See you in the next chapter!
