This is the shortest chapter I will write, I know I'm like two weeks late. Lots of family stuff like my mom went to the hospital, I fell behind in school work, etc. After you read this you going to be like "WHAT! I WAITED TWO WEEKS FOR THIS!? WTF!" but it's okay I'm posting again, this is not the end. (I have a horrible feeling I'm going to receive some hate from this.) Please rate & review?

Chapter 5: Despair and Denial
I woke up with warm arms around me and surrounded by the sweet scent of something that was purely Roy. I pressed my back up against Roy's warm body snuggling deeper into his chest. I heard the downstairs phone ringing. I glanced at the clock on Roy's end table, an hour before we had to be at work. We should get up and shower, wouldn't want to go to work reeking of sex. I rolled over to face the bastard. "Rooooooy." He wiggled a few times and groaned. I poked his nose a few times, "Hey, get up. We need to get a shower before work." I watched his eyes open quickly as he jumped on top of me pinning me to the bed. "A shower with you, hmmm. Sounds captivating." My face instantly became red as I stuttered, "W-well I-" Roy just laughed. "Shut up!" I pushed him off me and stormed off to the bathroom in the guest room locking it behind me, he can use the downstairs one. Why did he have to embarrass me like that? I turned on the shower and jumped in immediately drowning out what Roy was saying through the door. Then I heard the phone ring, again.
After dressing and cleaning up the breakfast mess Roy and I headed out. Before I put my shoes on the phone rang again, "Who would be calling now?" Roy picked up the phone, "Seriously? They hung up." and with that we left. We climbed into his car with his personal driver. Roy didn't even have to say anything and the man was driving. "So who called earlier? When I was in the shower." I looked over at Roy who was barely awake even after two cups of coffee. "Dunno, there was no answer." I went back to looking out the window. The sky was a sickly grey and black, the fog was thick, and the air was cold. It made me uncomfortable because yesterday was so bright and warm.
We arrived at Central Headquarters within half an hour, it was the longest drive of my life; no conversation took place. I stepped out of the car and Roy followed I already forgave him mentally for this morning, though it should have been verbalized. I think he caught on. We walked up the stairs and through the first hall past the front desk. Out of the corner of my eye I notice a figure run past me. "What the hell was that!" I was pushed aside into the wall then to the floor. "What was what?" Roy offered me his hand helping me up, "You alright?" I brushed myself off looking in the direction the shadow had run off in. "Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about it, but what was that?" Roy shrugged but the look on his face said he knew something was wrong too, we started walking again. We passed random soldiers and other co-workers on the way to Roy's office. It was so quiet.
I probably wasn't going to do much work, now that I think about it I rarely have to do much of anything. Bypassing Havoc and Riza who were nose deep into whatever they were doing and Breda and Falman arguing with Fury over something he did. I didn't care so much to dwell on it, it was their business. Roy and I walked into his office closing the door behind us, I heard Roy make a strange noise as I turned to look at him, his face turned pale and had a look of complete fear. I turned to see what was in the room and recognized the source. In the middle of the room was a dark pool of blood and chalk. On top of the pool was a large mound of metal and flesh. I could feel my heart stop, breathing cease, and my body become paralyzed when I saw the face. Alphonse.
I could feel my legs shake and my vision began to blur, either from tears or my brain trying to make me block out the familiar figure in front of my feet. I couldn't hear Roy screaming for help or the panic of the soldiers who ran in and immediately back out, only muffled noise. The mound of fused metal and flesh that was Alphonse was talking, and I couldn't hear him. I felt two arms on either side of me dragging me back, all of a sudden my body could move and I began to breathe again. I fought, kicked, and screamed all while tears flooded my face. "ALPHONSE!" pushing, shoving, and biting. I reached for him, more arms wrapped around me pulling me out of the room. "NO! ALPHONSE! LET ME GO YOU IDIOTS, HE'S MY BROTHER LET ME GO!" I felt a sharp pain in my side and everything went black.
