Sorry it's been so long since I've updated this story. School was kicking my ass so I decided it was best to focus on school for the time being. I'm on summer break till for a couple months so I'll be able to work on my story again! Aiming for 1-2 chapters a week. Maybe more if I get in a serious sit down and avoid writers block! That'd be great! Well here is chapter 6! Please enjoy! Leave reviews and follow the story if you like it to stay up to date on the latest chapters!

Where we left off:

"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"

Edward stared at the fogged up mirror in the hot, humid bathroom. Mustang was finished with his shower and Edward gained control over himself once he heard the water stop. Roy stood in the shower, not knowing what to do about his dilemma or Edward's. Silence filled the room and the awkward feelings continued to build with each passing second.

"Are you getting out?" Edward's voice was almost so quiet that Mustang barely understood the question. He reached out and grabbed the towel, wrapped it loosely around his hips, and pulled the curtain open. Edward kept his focus on the mirror as the tall man stepped out stood in front of him.

"I'll go get dressed. Are you okay to wait here a minute?" Edward nodded. He sat alone with his thoughts as the sounds of Roy's footsteps vanished down the hall. Pleasant thoughts being broken up with moments from his imprisonment. 'Deep breathe….relax…I'm safe now.' He knew he needed to tell Roy… and it was becoming painful to keep lying and hiding the truth for him. The more Roy tried to cheer him up and help, the harder it became.

"He'll never trust me if I don't tell him the truth"

"Then tell me," Roy's voice softly filled the room. Ed was startled by his sudden appearance. He wasn't aware he had been talking out loud. Mustang walked over to the young boy and helped him to his feet. As much as he wanted to forget it all, he nodded his head and slowly followed Mustang back to the bedroom. Roy gestured for Edward to sit on the bed as he knelt down on the floor beside him.

Edward took a deep breath before he began, "I tried to escape…many times….but," he trailed off. Roy nodded at him reassuringly. His expression helped calm Ed's nerves a bit. Without words he knew Roy was saying it was okay. "Roy….they tested me… they wanted to know my limit." He coughed a bit as he slightly choked on his own words. Roy placed a hand on Edward's knee and gripped it tightly.

"Breath Edward," Roy's voice very soft and smooth.

"They chained me up in a cold room and performed tests on me…over and over again." Confusion and frustration building as Roy waited for more information. He was proud Edward was starting to open up. He knew how hard it was to break one's walls down and describe themselves at their weakest point. Hughes was his guardian and hero just as he was trying to be for Edward. "I couldn't use my alchemy either. They had a strange transmutation circle drawn on all the walls in my cell. They even told me it was pointless to try."

"Did you try?" Roy watched Ed's face twist in pain as he spoke, listening to each word carefully. Edward nodded. "We have some information already then. That's a start. We know they are advanced alchemists, since they were able to perform transmutation seals. As well as the fact that they were after you in specific," Roy stated matter-of-factly. "Can you tell me anything else?" He rubbed Edward's knee and gave him a nod of encouragement.

"Um... I remember having my arms chained above me, separated from one another. When someone would enter the room, I tried to fight them off, but they injected me with some green liquid in a vile. It made my entire body go numb. I couldn't even move my fingers… I remember being dragged by my hair across the cold, wet floor down a long corridor to another room. I wanted to scream so bad…" Edward paused again, his body slightly shaking. Roy moved to the bed and sat next to him and placed a hand on his back. "I couldn't sum up enough strength to even scream." A tear rolled down Ed's pale cheeks.

"Ed… you can stop. It's okay, we –"

"No… I want you to know…I need you to know. I feel like you're the only one I can trust." Roy ensured Ed he could trust him. Hearing Edward say those words warmed Roy's heart. He wanted Edward to trust him. To be able to come to him for anything. Even if it had nothing to do with work or even if it was something against the military. Roy wanted to be there for him. Edward glanced up at him, silence filled the room until Edward was comfortable enough to keep going. "I was thrown onto a splintered wooden table and pinned down. They clasped my hands and legs with rust iron wires that would cut into me. Barbed wire was wrapped around my neck and each breath I took, the briers would dig into my neck. I remember being in so much pain. Whatever I was drugged with would paralyze me but allow me to have complete feeling and senses. After what seemed like hours of being on that table, I would be able to scream. High pitched rings screamed in my ears as my ignored pleas to stop echoed around the room." Roy pulled the young alchemist's head down onto his lap. He rubbed his back and even played with the tips of his hair while repeating back parts of his story and reminding Edward that he was safe. "It would end the same way each time… someone would come over to me, rip my clothes off and draw a transmutation circle on my stomach."

"A transmutation circle? Do you know what it looks like?"

"Unfortunately no. The only reason I know what is was, is because the person would clap their hands together before placing them on my bare body. It was followed by a burning sensation that slowly travel across my body. It felt like some one taking a scalding hot knife and pealing my flesh off in strips. It was so excruciating….all I could do was scream until the pain faded but when I wouldn't feel pain any more, I would be back hanging in the room by chains. I just assumed I passed out from the pain. I was able to focus enough to see I was covered in blood but I couldn't see nay wounds or feel any pain. At first I thought I was dead, but instead I was somehow completely healed."

"They healed you too?!" Roy asked, a bit shocked. Roy's eyes were tight, dark, and filled with rage. "So they put you through hell and tortured you, only to turn around and heal you for weeks?!" The rage crept through into his voice, startling the already terrified boy.

"Yes…" Ed whimpered, the crying officially beginning. "So many things were done to me. Each time just as painful as the last, until the last day when I made my escape." Ed looked up at Roy, wanted to see some type of emotion on his face. There certainly was a lot of emotion in Roy's eyes- hatred, revenge, infuriated. Roy held his tongue and nodded for him to continue. "I was whipped by a belt with sharp things sticking out of it until I was full of tiny holes and covered in blood. They rubbed shit all over me and it burned like hell. Pins were shoved into my foot and my fingers and toes were broken by pliers…one by one…. They split my nails and ripped them off… It felt like they had broken all the bones in my body hundreds of times. I thought it was never going to end." The stuttering and small chokes turned into bawling and coughing fits.

"I'm assuming that's why you were covered in blood when I found you. You escaped before you're body had completely healed. You only had scrapes and bruises…" Roy looked into Ed's teary, gull golden eyes as he nodded in response. "Edward…please breathe. I'm right here. No one will hurt you as long as I am here. I won't let anyone hurt you like that ever again!" Roy states, tilting Ed's face upwards to meet his gaze. "You're safe…. I've got you…." Roy's voice trickled off as he pulled the small boy's face towards his own. Roy glanced down and Edward's dry, cracked lips before he pressed his own lips to them. The young alchemist cries came to a sudden halt. Roy pulled away to see his eyes lightening back up as the last few tear drops dripped off his jaw. Roy took the positive look in Edward's eyes as another chance and he leaned down to kiss him again. To his surprise, Edward kissed him back. Mustang pulled away again and stated at the flushed blond and smiled softly. Edward finally smiled again. Roy adjusted Edward so he was laying down on the bed next to Roy. Exhaustion hit Edward hard once he had completely calmed down and his eyes felt heavy.

"Thank-you for listening Roy," Edward whispered before the exhaustion took over and he drifted off into sleep. Roy laid in silence thinking about everything that Edward had told him over the last hour. He felt so bad for the young boy, no one should every have to go through that and he was furious over it.

'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!' He tightened his grip on Edward and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. "I'll lay here with you as long as you want Edward…. You can trust me."

Well that's it for now. It's 5:30am and I have yet to go to bed. So if it's not the best I'm sorry but I was really in the mood to work on it. Please leave me a review or a message to let me know how it's going. I've finally gotten to the part where Edward is beginning to open up about it. As well as a move made on Mustangs part. More will details, secrets, and romance will come very soon. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
