Edward's body betrayed him as it leaned in for more, this feeling seemed familiar and yet still new. Ed placed his hands against Roy's chest, surprised to feel his heart pounding as hard as his own. Roy struggled to pull away, not wanting to waste any time he had with Edward. He was concerned about Ed losing his memories and didn't know if it would happen again.

"Something happened, didn't it?" Edward looked up at Roy. Roy nodded and glanced at Alphonse, who seemed to be enjoying the scene. Alphonse grinned and nodded his head, almost jumping with joy. His big brother was falling in love and the excitement of it was almost too much for Al to contain.

"I couldn't contain myself one night," Roy trailed off. He knew Edward clearly liked him, but he felt the need to explain himself like he had done something wrong. The pause grew longer and Edward began to get uncomfortable. Alphonse carefully snuck out of the room so they could talk alone. He felt telling granny and Winry was more important than him just standing there.

"What'd you do?" Ed asked, fidgeting with his fingers.

"Well, I wrapped my arms around you and kissed you… You were so beautiful… I just couldn't help myself."

"You made the first move?!" Edward cupped his hands over his mouth, surprised by the Colonel's actions. Roy nodded and chuckled softly at the boy's reaction.

"Honestly, I had no idea that you were into me. Like I said, I kissed you. I just couldn't help myself." Edward jumped into Roy's arms, ignoring the twinge of pain, as he squeezed him lightly. "Well, if I would have realized that it was this easy to make you fall for me, then I would have just been honest with you on the train." Mustang chuckled, nuzzling his head again Ed's.

"I never told you either though," Ed admitted as Mustang set him back down.

"Fair enough." Roy agreed. "So, where does this put us?"

"I don't know… If people found out, especially the Military, couldn't you lose your rank?" Mustang nodded. "Besides… Mustang, we are both men. You're known for being the womanizer on Central. People will talk…"

"I want you." Mustang cut Ed off. "I'm not going to walk away just because you are a man, Ed. Fuck what anyone else says. I want the man who I've spent a week taking care of each day. The man who had me in an absolute panic for weeks. The one who, in just one week, has changed the way I view the world. I want you, Edward." Roy's voice was stern, yet filled with passion. He held a hand out to Edward who eagerly took ahold of it. Roy placed a soft kiss on the top of Ed's hand before pulling him out of the bathroom. Edward felt like a teenager who was having their first crush, even though he had liked people before, somehow Roy Mustang was different. It made him happy. They could hear mumbling from the kitchen as they made their way down the hall. Silence filled the room once they entered the kitchen. Al had a grin from ear to ear and it made Edward blush deeply.

Granny cleared her throat, "Well, let's eat dinner, shall we?" They all nodded and took a seat.

Dinner went smoothly, not too many questions but a nice conversation about everyone's upcoming plans. Edward was beginning to feel rather tired, so Roy stood up to help him up from the table.

"Now wait a second!" Alphonse jumped up, speaking loudly, startling the two men.

"Yeah! We haven't asked you the questions yet," Winry added in.

"Yeah, like what are your intentions toward our little Edward," Alphonse smiled with excitement.

"Don't call me li-" Ed tried to interject.

"What's you plan for the future?" Winry quickly added, cutting him off.

"Can you support Edward and his destructive habits?" Alphonse asked, chuckling.

Roy stood there with a straight face, took a deep breath and spoke, calmly. "I plan on cooking for him, dancing with him, learning with him, and showing him off to the world as mine. I would like to see how this relationship goes and will do all I can for him. I've seen his temper and am well prepared to deal with it. It is a part of him and the stubbornness I find rather cute. I will give it my all, and stand strong by his side." Everyone stared in awe at Mustang, including Edward by his side who was a very deep shade of red. "That is, if you'll have me." Edward nodded and smiled brightly at the raven haired man. His man.

The two were resting upstairs, Edward was passed out laying peacefully in Roy's arms. Roy laid on his back, holding a sleeping Ed on his chest with one arm. The other arm was holding an alchemy book that Roy had a difficult time keeping his attention on. Every few minutes, Mustang would catch himself staring at the young blonde instead of the pages before him. Edward would occasionally mumble words in sleep, causing Roy to smile every time. How could you not smile at someone so adorable? Once in a while, his mumbles were actual words, but nothing enough for Roy to understand what he was dreaming about. All he knew, is he was in it, and Ed was smiling in his sleep.

Mustang woke up to coughing sounds coming from the bathroom. He stumbled to the door, and cracked it open. "It's Mustang. Are you okay?" Edward gave a quiet muttered answer as Mustang stepped into the room. "Still feeling sick Ed? I really wish you'd let me take you to see a doctor." A very concerned Mustang sat there assisting Ed in any way he could. He wiped his mouth and forehead of sweat and vomit. Held his hair away from his face. Traced small circles on his back and spoke softly to him for what seemed like hours. Another knock on the door pulled Roy from his trance. Al entered with a worried look on his face. Roy just shook his head, knowing the obvious question.

"Edward?" Al whispered.

"I'll be fine Al." Ed's voice slightly echoed from inside the toilet bowl.

"But-"

"Enough A-" another violent hurl cut him off. Mustang waved Al over.

"Will you watch over him for me? I just need to step out for a moment."

"Don't….. no doctors…"

"Don't worry Edward. I'm just going to grab a blanket and a glass of water for you." Mustang left with a small smile. He stepped out onto the deck and called Central Hospital. "Sorry Ed. You promised. You may not remember, but I do…"

Roy was on the phone for a short period of time, going over all the details he felt were relevant with the nurse on the other end. He was given possible diagnoses like PTSD, the flu, poisoning. The first worried Mustang the most. He's been there. He knows he can help reassure Ed, but worries it won't be enough. He's lived with his past, dealing with the monster he's become. Edward had fallen for him regardless. This gave the man hope. He quickly made his way to the kitchen for some water, when a blood curdling scream filled the house. That wasn't Ed…

"Alphonse?!" Roy yelled, bursting through the bathroom door. Alphonse was backed up against the wall next to the door, a terrified expression on his face. "What's wrong?! Ed are you okay?!" Edward didn't turn to look at them, just nodded his head. Roy looked back at Al, who was slowly raising his hand to point at Edward. His expression quickly changed from horror to anger.

"You're not Edward. You're not even human! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
