Ed rolled his eyes and headed towards the Inn that they would be staying at. He paid for a room with two beds, because he knew he would be sharing a bed with his brother, while Roy would have his own bed. After paying, he led the small group to the room. Once there, Al set his things down in a corner and waved goodbye as he wanted to check out some of the shops that were in the center of town. Ed sat down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, letting his mind wander. He wasn't sure what to say as he noticed Roy walk into the room. Ed knew that Roy would ask about the kiss that they had exchanged on the train. Truth is, Ed didn't even have an answer himself.

Ed laid down on the mattress and folded his arms behind his head.

Roy looked around the room. It looked like a shoe box, too small to fit the two bets in there yet they obviously had managed to squeeze them in, nothing more but a bedside table in the middle of the room separated the two beds, leaving just enough room to walk in between the beds. Roy put his case under the bed, before sitting on the mattress. It was soft - something he didn't like, but knew he would have to sleep on it whether he liked it or not. He peered over at Ed.

"Ed... What happened on the train... was it really just equivalent exchange, nothing more or less, just simply trying to make me embarrassed a little like I made you?" He asked softly. He wished it was something more than equivalent exchange, that Ed had feelings whether he was bi-curious or actually felt the same as Roy did.

'This... this feeling cannot be anything more than a feeling, you cant peruse anything Roy, you just can't...' He thought to himself.

"I dunno.. You were the first person to kiss me." Ed began as he stared at the ceiling. "I may be seventeen, but I've never had a relationship before." He confessed, shrugging slightly as he stretched out, his shirt riding up a bit to show off some of his stomach. He sank back down into the mattress and gave a little sigh and closed his eyes. He wasn't sure on what to do about this strange feeling he had for Roy. Was it love, or just curiosity? He wasn't exactly sure, but hoped to find out soon.

Roy watched Ed closely, when his stomach showed he couldn't keep his eyes off of him. He knew he had to look away though, not wanting to look like the pervert that he already felt like.

"So.. I took your first kiss..." He said, feeling slightly guilty about it now. "And I know I kissed you first," He said, eyes still on Ed like an eagle. "I just... couldn't resist." he admitted, feeling more like a pervert and a pedophile by the minute.

Ed sighed lowly. "Who care's if you took my first kiss? Do you really hear me complaining about it? I can't complain about it if you don't realize what I did when you kissed me.." Ed said, completely turning his attention to Roy.

"If you don't realize that I had kissed you back...then you're blind.." He stated again. He looked away from Roy to the ceiling again and followed the cracks in it with his eyes. He slowly let his guard down and closed his eyes after a brief time. He wanted to at least rest his eyes before they had to go off to look for Scar.

"Ed... What surprised me most is that you kissed me back..." He said, standing up and walking over to Ed, sitting next to him on the edge of the bed. "And all I can say is thank you..." He said, leaning down and kissed Ed on the forehead.

"Thanks..." Roy said, before standing up. He didn't understand fully what he felt inside but he had a faint idea of what it was he felt - no matter how much he knew it was wrong, he was starting to like Ed.

A lot.

Ed looked up at Roy. "It's.. Not a problem.." He said slowly. Ed slowly closed his eyes again and started to drift out. He was still slightly awake for his senses wouldn't let him fully sleep. After about thirty minutes of rest, Ed's ears twitched slightly has he thought he heard a scream coming from the city. Ed shot up and looked around.

"Roy.." He said as he stood up. He needed to get down into the town to see what was going on. Before getting the chance to react, Al came bursting into the room, out of breath from running.

"Its Scar. He just killed an alchemist.." He said and pulled on his brother's arm. "Come on!" Was the only thing he said before he bolted out the door again and after Scar, with Ed following closely behind him.

Roy shot up straight away from his bed, in shock. He looked over at Ed, before looking back to the door way. After Al told them what happened, he quickly got out off bed, pulling out the suitcase underneath, pulling out his gloves from it. He didn't care about the fact he was in pajamas - a normal white t-shirt and a pair of shorts - this was business. He followed on after them, a few feet behind taking time to put on his gloves, but soon caught up. He made sure he was either beside Ed or slightly in front, frantically looking at where Al was going - hoping Scar wouldn't suddenly pop up anywhere - he especially didn't want Ed getting hurt - and he knew that if anyone did touch him or manage to hurt him, Roy would make sure they would pay.

Ed clapped his hands once and touched his automail arm, making the blade appear, ready to attack Scar. He ran ahead of Roy and Al and caught sight of Scar and charged after him.

"Brother!" Al yelled, trying to get the chalk ready to use his alchemy. Ed clapped his hands again, picturing the right earth array and put his hands on the ground, trapping Scar in a stone box. Al drew a metal array and reinforced the barrier with it. Out of nowhere there came a low taunting laugh that Ed and Al both recognized instantly. Lust jumped down from the nearest building and struck her finger through Ed's shoulder.

"My my, haven't we grown a bit?" She said lowly. She twisted her finger in Eds shoulder slightly and he gave out a slight gasp at the pain. Soon after Lust caught Ed, Envy jumped down and stood in front of Roy.

"What have you got here pipsqueak? A body-guard?" He grinned wide enough to cut his face in half. Pride also appeared in front of Al to keep him where he was.

"We will be taking Edward now." She said coolly and pulled Ed close while knocking him out. Envy walked over to Lust and took Ed and hefted him up on to his shoulder.

"See ya later kiddies." He said and laughed. Lust, Envy, and Pride left the scene with Ed and run away to their hideout.

"Brother!" Al yelled, shocked that his only brother, was taken from him.
