It was a gentle kiss yet Ed could feel the passion behind it. He wrapped his arms around Roy's neck and relaxed into the kiss and let Roy take control.

Roy felt Ed respond and decided to try and take things a little deeper. He gently licked Ed's lower lip, asking for permission to enter. Ed's gasp gave him the perfect opportunity. He thrust his tongue into Ed's mouth and explored every inch of his lover's mouth, electing a moan of pleasure from Ed.

Roy pulled Ed tighter and put a hand on the back of Ed's head and lifted it up a little so he could gain better access to the kiss Ed, hesitantly, opened his mouth wider for Roy, Mustang smiled into the kiss and thrust his tongue deeper, lovingly mapping out every detail of Ed's mouth. Ed let him dominate the kiss.

He had no problem with Roy taking lead he preferred it actually. He didn't know how to do these things so he decided to follow Roy for now.

Finally, in desperate need of air, the two broke apart.

Roy looked lovingly at Ed. His lips were swollen and parted; his breaths coming out in gasps. His eyes were clouded over with: lust, desire, want, need and over all adoration. Inside of Ed's eyes he saw everything he had ever dreamed of in a lover; loyalty, need, companionship, promise and love. Not just lust for General Roy Mustang but love for Roy Mustang. When he looked in Ed's eyes he saw that Ed didn't care if he was the highest ranking state alchemist or not; he saw that Ed loved the person, not the rank or fame or looks.

He knew in that moment that Ed was the person he needed by his side; his lover, companion, and equal. He knew Ed wouldn't treat him any differently if he suddenly got demoted to private or even resigned from the military. He knew Edward would stay by his side and would never leave or betray him. All in all he had found his soul mate.

Ed jus stared up at Roy. He saw that Roy was staring at him and thinking about something.

His lips were parted and his breathing had started to become normal once again, yet the look in his eyes never dissipated. It was a look that showed more then words ever could. It mirrored his own; A look of pure feeling. Ed could tell Roy was perfect for him.

Just because Ed was the youngest state alchemist in history people treated him like he was special but Roy didn't; Roy treated him like any other soldier. He was glad he had found Roy and that he had his feelings returned. It was all he could ask for. Since Al had gotten his body back Ed had felt like he didn't have a purpose; his goal before had been to get Al's body back and now it was. But now he had Roy and he finally felt complete.

"We should head back the others will be waking up soon." Ed mentioned.

Roy agreed. They walked back holding hand like they had on the way there and once again Ed stopped but, this time it was right next to a tall tree.

"Roy there was something I wanted to talk to you about." Ed started. Roy didn't like the tone in Ed's voice; it usually meant Ed had something on his mind that he needed to get off. Roy walked over to Ed and put a hand on his shoulder.

"What is it?"

"Well, now that Al had his body back…" Ed trailed off. Roy froze and then spun Ed around.

"You're not gonna resign are you?" he asked desperately. Ed's eyes widened at the tone but then softened. He put of hand on top of Roy's and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"No. I was going to ask if you wanted me to stay in the military. I'm thinking of moving to Central. I don't belong here I never did really. Al is more laid back and doesn't like action and stuff, plus now he had Winry again, finally. I'm not meant to be laid back I get fidgety and I can't stand not doing anything." Ed soothed him.

Roy sighed with relief. "Please don't use that tone again." Edward raised an eyebrow at this. Roy sighed once again and released Ed's arms.

"When you use that tone it usually means something isn't right, and what a dumb question. Of course I want you to come back to the military; you could even live with me if you wanted or we could start finding you a place to live as soon as we got back." Roy huffed.

Ed laughed and almost fell over. Roy sighed and then joined in laughing.
