Ch. 25- A Streaming Dream.

Roy pulled Ed up.

"Ed, I need you to calm down."

Ed was completely overtaken with the thought of his brother finally getting his body back after so long. He was standing there, as if he expected a telephone to fall out of the sky.

"Roy...I..We need to get to Risembool...I have to see if it's true...If he really-".

Roy grabbed Ed's shoulder's and shook him.

Ed looked up into Roy's eyes like a child would at a parent after being scolded.

"Ed. Calm. Down." Roy gave these order's calmly. He was trying to sort his thoughts.

He went over what Ed had told him time and time again.

He knew Ed was correct, they needed to find out if Alphonse had actually gotten his body back somehow, and if not, they needed to figure out where the hell the body Ed had marked with the seal had gone.

"Hmm...Ed, we have to go to Risembool, I agree...but we can't exactly take a train considering that there's no-one here to tell us when the next one is...so..."

"So...what?" Ed looked at Roy as he scratched his head trying to think.

"Well, we're going to have to walk along the tracks until we find another station, it may take a while but it's the only way, besides it's not like you'll get bored, with me as your company." Roy gave his cocky smile, which did seem to cheer Ed up.

"Walk, all that way with you? Great." He complained, sarcastically of course.

Ed knew there weren't many people that could tolerate him for so long, Roy was one of the few.

Roy smiled.

"Yeah, you'll have to live with it for now." He teased.

"Beside, maybe I can end up having a little bit of fun too." He winked and pulled Ed close to him.

Roy wrapped both his arms around the front of Ed's chest, and rested his head on Ed's shoulder.

He lowered his lips next to Ed's ear and whispered..." Maybe we both...could have a little fun..."

He licked behind Ed's ear, following that with a light breathe.

Ed's face turned completely red, as he quickly pulled away from Roy's grasp.

He started to walk away, when he said..."Yeah maybe..."

Roy stifled a little laugh.

"Now let's get going, Colonel Pervert."

Ed ran out the side of the station, following along the tracks.

'Did...he just call me...Colonel Pervert, Well..guess I'm going to have to live up to his expectation...' Roy quietly plotted.

He heard Ed yell for him to hurry up, and so He ran forward, quickly catching up to Ed.

They'd been walking for a while, not really saying anything to each other, and the silence was starting to get on Ed's nerves.

"Soooo Roy..."

Roy glanced over at Ed.

"Yeah?" He smiled.

"Uh-uh...We should...uh-well talk..." Ed looked down, he'd had no idea what the hell he meant by 'talk', but He couldn't stand the silence between them any longer.

"Talk? About what exactly?" He took Ed's hand into his, lacing their finger's together.

Ed ran his thumb along the side of Roy's palm, and looked off into the distance.

"Well...I dunno...about you...us..." His face turned a flush pink.

Roy looked at him, and smiled. Returning Ed's gentle touch with his own. He traced Ed's jawline with his free hand.

"I'd love to talk about us...and you especially."

"Oh..." Ed freed his fingers from Roy's and placed his arm around Roy's, their elbow interlocked with one another's.

"Colonel...I want to know...after all this is done...will you...I mean...will we...still..be...this..." He looked Roy up in down.

Roy gave Ed a soft smile.

"You mean...this." He freed his arm from Ed's and placed his hands on Ed's hips. Pulling his body closer to his own. He leaned in a kissed Ed passionately on the lips, tracing every possible place in Ed's mouth with his tongue.

He pulled away before Ed could kiss back.

"Like that you meant...?" Roy smiled lacing his hand between Ed's hand once again, pulling him forward to continue their walk along the train tracks.

"Mmmm...that and more..." Ed looked up into the sky, and sighed.

Roy looked over at Ed, giving him a questioning gaze.

"Edward, whats wrong, you can ask me anything..."

Ed nodded, taking another deep breathe before speaking again.

"Roy, I know that people will question our relationship...I mean, it's not exactly a typical...well..you know, what if you get into tr-" A finger stopped his question.

Roy stepped in front of Ed, yet again stopping their walk.

"Ed stop worrying about what other people will think...all that matters is what we feel, here."

He placed Ed's hand over his heart, and placed his on Ed's.

"My heart will always beat in sync with yours, I am yours, and you are mine...I will always love you...no matter what everyone else may think or say..."

Ed giggled, his face pink, and Roy looked at him, confused.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"You..when did my pervert get so deep?" He giggles again before kissing Roy lightly on the cheek.

"I knew you could be a sweet heart if you tried." He kissed him again, on the other cheek.

"Ed..." Roy laughed back. Now feeling a little embarrassed.

"I...uh..." He looked at Ed, who had a smile plastered on his face.

"Oh, Roy, don't be embarrassed, I like you like this...It's kind of...cute..."

"Me? Cute...wonderful..." Roy frowned...

"What...you don't like being called-Oh..." Ed jumped.

Roy had snuck his hand behind his back.

"I haven't been able to play with you lately, Edward..."

He squeezed his hands through Ed's belt line, and traced Ed's butt with his to fingers, and the squeezed again.

"Roy...you..perv..." Ed pushed himself up against Roy.

"Ed...your very playful today aren't you..."

Ed started kissing Roy, moving his lips up and down his neck, repeatedly.

"Mmm...Roy..." Ed purred, speaking softly against the colonel's skin..

"Hmm...?" Roy hummed.

"We're never gonna get to the next station..." He jumped, as Roy's hands rose from his backside, tracing his back.

"...If...we...mm...keep stopping...like..this" Ed pulled his body back away from Roy's.

"Ed..." Roy whimpered, he wasn't exactly worried about reaching the next station.

"Lets...relax for a while...and we'll take a break tonight, then we can..." Ed moved towards Roy again, lifting his finger to trace Roy's collarbone, causing a slight shiver.

"then we can..." Roy continued repeated.

Ed smiled.

"then...we can continue...this..." He kissed Roy once more on his neck, nipping him just slightly.

"Ed...your to much..." His softly said.

Ed nipped a little harder.

"Of a tease..." Roy continued, trying to ignore Ed's touch.

Ed gave Roy one last nip, before giving him an evil little grin.

"Oh...I know." Ed pulled away quickly, grabbing Roy's hand and yanked him along.

They continued they're walk, asking each-other questions about eachother's pasts, and they're plans for the future, each agreeing that the future for both would include the other

"Ed..."

"Yeah Roy..."

"It's getting dark, I think we should take a rest for the night..."

They had been walking for a while, and before they both new it the sun was starting to set, and their legs were beginning to feel the effects of fatigue.

"Yeah...I'm getting pretty tired myself, and..." Ed laughed.

"What?"

"If I'm tired, god only knows how tired an Old Perv like you must be."

Roy frowned. Taking a step away from Ed.

'Roy...I didn't mean to..." Ed frowned.

Roy turned his back from Ed.

"Roy...I.." Ed was confused, why was Roy suddenly so sensitive?

"Just go...there's a stream over there...clean up...I'm going to sleep." Roy walked away, and sat on a stone, facing the opposite direction of the stream he'd mention.

Ed didn't get it, but did as Roy suggested.

He frowned, and walked towards the stream.

He got to it's edge and slipped his boots off from his feet.

He stuck half of his foot into the water, to see if it were cold or not.

"Well...at least it's a comfortable temperature...but.." He looked back into Roy's direction, and saw that Roy's eyes were peeking back at him.

"What the hell's gotten into him...geez...whatever I really do need to wash up...I smell horrible..."

He removed his jacket, shirt and pants, leaving his boxers on.

He slipped himself into the water and submerged himself.

'Ah...this feels nice."

He drifted back up, floating on top of the water.

He closed his eyes.

Suddenly...He felt something cause the calm water start to ripple, as if something had dove in.

He opened his eyes and looked around, there was nothing...he thought about getting out to see what was wrong with Roy, but decided against it. If Roy was mad...he didn't want to feel like his was pushing him to say what was wrong.

Suddenly something grabbed him around the waist.

"WHAT THE F-" His eyes were still closed as he felt something press against his lips, fiercely.

He opened his eyes, as he stared into deep midnight colored eyes...

He pulled away, gasping.

"Roy...you...what the hell! I thought you were...mmmm" Roy pressed his lips against Ed's, halting any questions Ed wanted to ask. They were both still in the water, Ed's upper body, held in Roy's arms, as his lower half floated freely in the water.

Roy was standing, in the middle of the stream, still fully clothed, Ed was completely dazed, still surprised by the sudden invasion of personal space, not that he didn't enjoy it.

Roy pulled back.

Breathing heavily he spoke.

"What, you seriously thought I was angry..."

"Well...yeah...all you did was walk away and suggest that I..." Ed re-thought about what Roy had suggested.

Roy smiled as he saw Ed come to a realization.

"Roy...you perv..."

"Well...you did say we could continue what we started earlier tonight, didn't you..." He smiled again, as he traced Ed's lips with his thumb.

"I did...didn't I...but I...I mean...do you really want to do this in the water..."

"Hmmm let me think...You completely naked, wet...with me...in a clear stream at night...No, why the hell would I ever want that." Roy rolled his eyes as, smiling with a twist of sarcasm on his face.

"Roy...I'm not naked..." Ed hinted, with a hint of a naughty smile on his face.

"Well, then I guess I'll have to fix that, won't I."

He pulled Ed up, allowing his body to float on top of the water.

"Roy, what are you..."

"Shhh...and wait."

Roy dove under,and went under Ed, rising out of the water, he had Ed completely laying on top of him. He slowly wrapped one of his arms around Ed's waist, using his other hand to slowly trace the contour of Ed's back.

"Mmmm...Ed your so...smooth in the water..."

"...Roy...what are you..."

Ed's back quickly arched as Roy's hand went passed his boxers waist band and traced the side of his left butt cheek, going down and back up.

He gave a soft moan.

Roy smirked.

"You like that, huh Ed?"

"Mhm..." was all Ed could say.

"Well then..." Roy slowly brought his hand back up to the waist band of Ed's boxers and gently pulled, cleanly removing Ed's last layer of clothing.

Ed shivered as little, as the cool breeze gently waved passed his now naked body. The only thing keeping him warm, was Roy's warm body under his own.

"Ed...are you cold..."

"Only a little..."

"Alright, just alittle longer then we'll get out..."

Roy took his free hand and placed his back onto Ed's butt, tracing it once again. Up and down, slowly.

Ed groaned again.

"Roy...go...low...er.."

"Slowly Ed. Slowly." Roy promised.

"And...you call...me a tease..."

"Never said I wasn't one too..." Roy laughed.

He brought his hands between Ed's legs, gently stroking Ed's length.

"Mmmm...Ed, your enjoying this..."

"Duh..."

He lowered his hand from Ed's length, and removed his other arm from around Ed's waist.

"Roy...Don't stop...please..."

"Shhh..." Roy cooed softly kissing Ed's ear.

He grabbed Ed's shoulders, and gently kicked his feet,bringing them to the edge of the stream.

"Roy...I don't want to get out yet..." Ed whimpered.

"We're not...I can't do what I want while floating and having you lying on me.."

"What do you mean...byy..AH!" Ed's body stiffened as he felt his thy's being spread apart.

Roy' hands were each place on the side of Ed's thys, pulling them slowly apart.

His hands moved from below Ed's butt, down his thys to under his knees, and back up again.

"Oh..." Ed closed his eyes...enjoying the feeling of having Roy's strong hands slowly massaging him.

"Roy...I can't even feel one of my legs...you don't have too..."

"Ed...I enjoy all of you...and that includes the steel parts...every part of you...is beautiful..." He kissed Ed's neck.

"And...besides...you feel so...wonderful under my hands..."

"Roy...I want...to..." Ed rolled over, pressing his chest against Roy's.

"You want to...what?" Roy smiled, bringing his hands up, gently stroking Ed's back.

"Mmm...I want to feel your skin...too..."

Ed had been completely naked the entire time, while Roy was still completely clothed.

"Ahh...so...do you want me too...or.."

"nuhuh...I wanna do it..."

"Hehe...alright..."

Ed pulled himself onto Roy's lap as he rose and pressed his back against the muddy bank.

He quickly unbuttoned Roy's shirt, tossing it onto the shore behind him.

He lowered his hands towards Roy's belt, quickly removing it, and again tossing it onto the shore.

"Ed...your a little to good at taking off my clothes..."

"I can do better...just watch..."

Ed unzipped Roy's pants and pulled them completely off in one move.

"What am I watching for exactly..."

Ed giggled..."For this..."

Ed brought his head down, and took the waist band of Roy's boxers between his teeth, and slowly took his head down, dragging the boxers down.

He got the boxers down to Roy's knees, before releasing them from his teeth,and bringing his lips up, tracing Roy's left thy with his tongue.

Ed felt Roy slightly twitch with anticipation.

He laughed.

He brought placed his lips to Roy's tip, and opened his mouth, bringing the rest of Roy's length in.

Roy arched his back, giving a rather loud groan of pleasure.

Ed used his tongue to slowly massage, up and down, side to side.

"Ed...your...amazing...ohhh..." Roy closed his eyes.

He felt Ed's mouth release him.

"Ed...no..not yet..."

"Sorry Roy...but that's enough..." Ed grinned, bringing his body upwards, and re-covering Roy.

Ed pressed his lips against Roy's collar bone and kissed it gently.

He felt his hair being pulled.

"Ed...can I..."

"If you want...I don't care.."

Roy pulled the band from Ed's hair, releasing the golden strands from the entanglement and allowing them to fall over Ed's shoulders.

"Beautiful."

He laced his fingers through Ed's hair, gently tugging it.

Ed shivered.

"Did I hurt you...?"

"Yeah Right."

Roy laughed.

"Well aren't you a tough one."

"You bet I am."

"Well then..."

"Hm...?"

Roy quickly placed his hands on Ed's butt once again, squeezing.

"Mmmmm" Ed moaned.

"I love this...I love you..." Roy whispered.

He squeezed again, causing a groan to rumble within Ed's chest.

He pressed his body closer.

"I think...you enjoy this...way...to...mmm..."

Before Ed could even finish, Roy crushed his lips against his...

"Much..." He continued.

"You have no Idea..."

Ed shivered, as he felt the nights cool air caress his back.

"Roy...I'm cold..." He shivered again.

"Alright, time to get out."

Roy placed his arm beneath Ed's back and the other under his knees, lifting him out of the water as he stood up.

Roy then shivered himself.

"Ed..."

"Mhm?"

"I don't t-t-hink this was the smartest thing to do at n-n-ight."

"Maybe not...but it was fun..." Ed yawned, and gently nuzzled Roy's neck.

Roy walked over, into the grass and sat.

"Ugh...and of course my clothes are completely soaked..."

Roy sat there completely naked on to ground.

Ed opened his eyes.

"My clothes are still dry...their over there."

He pointed off into the darkness.

"Where...?" Roy squinted. It was now completely dark out.

"Next to the stream on the rock."

"Alright I'll go get them."

Roy got up, leaving Ed on the ground, and quickly grabbed Ed's clothes.

He ran back to Ed, lifting him back into his lap.

Ed shivered.

"Here, Ed." Roy wrapped Ed in his jacket.

He looked around.

"Now I need to .light a fire...Of course my gloves are useless now that they're wet."

He didn't bother getting up, he grabbed all the dried grass he could from around him and piled it in front of Ed and himself.

He etched a transmutation circle around the grass and tapped his hand on the ground, igniting the flame.

"Ed...feel better?" He looked down at the blond in his lap.

Ed had already fallen asleep.

"All that...must have tired him out.

Roy moved his body so that his was laying on his side, his back almost pressed up against the giant stone behind him, he curled up a little, allowing the curve of Ed's back to press against his chest. He moved closer so that the flame of the fire would keep Ed warm.

He kissed the back of Ed's head, and closed his eyes, and before he fell asleep, whispered...

"Goodnight Edward...I love you...my little alchemist..."

And under that night sky...the pair drifted off into a deep sleep.
