The day after
Ed was walking in the halls of central heading to Roy's office. Finally getting to the door he just stood there. 'Should I knock or just barge in like I used to?' Right when Ed was about to knock he heard voice from the other side of the door.
"Well I'll be damned Roy actually did it."
"Havoc you did make the bet with Roy you really think he wouldn't be able to do it?"
"But, but it was with Ed. Ed hates Roy he wasn't supposed to." Ed was very interested in what they were saying, 'what bet are they talking about? What wasn't I supposed to do?'
Hawkeye's voice broke Ed out of his thoughts, "Well he did it; Roy got Ed to sleep with him so you lost the bet. Starting Monday you will be doing all his work for a week so he can go on vacation."
Ed's eyes got wide. 'What! He, he slept with me all for a bet. Ugh I'm so stupid of course why would Roy the womanizer like me?' Ed couldn't take it anymore he decides he doesn't want to go in the office anymore and that he just wants to go home and forget today and yesterday. Running out the front door he ran into the person he least wanted to see.
"Hey Ed. Where you running off to so fast?" Roy looks at Ed more carefully and notices a tear drop on his face. "What's wrong?" his face got more serious.
"Nothing don't worry about it, forget it. You don't care anyway."
Roy shocked and confused as of what Ed was saying, "What of course I do Ed what makes you think that."
Ed's finally looked up at Roy and all Roy could see was hate and hurt. "Bullshit I heard your subordinates talking, I know you don't care it was only for a fucking bet!" Roy's eyes went from shocked to shame so fast that Ed barley caught it.
"Ed it's not-"
"shut up I don't care. You empiric asshole! I hate you!" Ed started to run away. Roy grabs his wrist and tries to stop him.
"Listen Ed it was about a bet at first but it changed I really like you. My feelings were real."
"No Roy my feeling were real I never had an excuse to go out with you besides the fact that I wanted to." Ed ripped his wrist from Roy's hand and ran away not looking back at the sad depressed Roy looking at him.
Roy walked into his office all depressed all his subordinates were wondering what was wrong.
Havoc decided to speak first, "Hey cheer up! You won the bet right?"
"How did you even know I won the bet? I didn't even tell you." Roy was entirely confused. After he was alone from his wonderful night with Ed, Roy remembered the bet and decided the vacation wasn't worth letting everyone know that Roy and Edward made love. So Roy was planning on lying.
Havoc oblivious to Roy's emotions answered his questions. "What you really think I wouldn't keep tabs on you to make sure you didn't lie. You I can't believe how good of an actor you are. The guy I had on you told me that he could have sworn you were gay. He told me how you treated the boss, even he would have slept with you. Cheer up, you get a free vacation soon!"
Roy looked up at him with a plain expression, "Whatever I don't care anymore."
"Yo what's wrong?"
"Ed found out about the bet." That's all Roy said before he walked into his office and slammed the door. Implying he didn't want anyone to come in.
"What was that all about?" Havoc asked very confused.
Hawkeye knew of course. Sigh, "Can't you tell Havoc, Roy actually liked Ed. What your spy saw wasn't acting." All attention turned to Hawkeye and all eyes in the room went double the size in shock. Ignoring everyone Hawkeye continued. "And now that Ed somehow found out I'm guessing he hates Roy and Ed probably doesn't think Roy likes him back."
Havoc was the only one able to talk. "But, But Ed hates Roy."
Sigh, "Your unbelievable no he doesn't you know Ed is terrible with expressing his feelings. You needed to look under the picture the whole time Ed always had feeling for Roy. Well at least he used to."
"Oh, oh shit I guess I didn't think of it that way. Wait but Roy isn't gay. Trust me he has taken enough of my girlfriends to prove he isn't gay."
"He doesn't have to be gay, he could be Bi or maybe he just has feelings for Ed. Ed is his own character no one is like him."
"So what should we do?"
Hawkeye just rolled her eyes. "You are going to just get back to work you already made a mess out of things. I'll go clean up you mess. Don't you worry about it." As to put emphasis on him not doing anything she made sure he saw the gun on her waist.
Hawkeye gave Roy sometime to cool off before she knocked and entered his office."Sir, are you alright?"
"Go away Lieutenant I'm doing my paper work, I don't need you in here." Hawkeye ignore his order and came in anyway. Shocked to find that he actually was doing his paper work.
"Sir I'm sorry but I am not going to leave." Evil glare from Roy. Ignored from Hawkeye. "You know all you have to do is prove to Ed that you really care about it."
"Psh I don't know what you talking about."
"I'm sorry sir in advance."
"Huh?" Roy looks up, confused as to why Hawkeye apologized to him and gets smacked by Hawkeye.
"Sir may I please speak freely?"
"Well you just slapped me, so you might as well."
"Roy please don't be stupid. We all know you like him. For God's sake you were crying, not to mention you are doing your paper work."
Roy was kind of confused. "Isn't that what you always wanted?"
"Yes, but I would rather you not cry sir."
"I'm not crying I just had something in my eye that is all" Roy exclaimed while rubbing his eye to get the tears/thing that was in his eye.
"Please sir don't make me slap you again. Go find Ed and tell him the truth."
"I can't I have work." Honestly Roy could care less about the work, however at this moment he would rather do the work that is on his desk then confront a really pissed of Edward.
"Sigh, Roy I'll take over your paperwork you just go find Ed and talk to him."
Sighing in defeat because there is no way Roy could turn down Hawkeye offering to do his paper work especially when there is four high stacks waiting. "Fine, thanks Riza I owe you."
"Yay just go."
"Wait what do I say? How can I get him to forgive me? He hates me."
"Roy he doesn't hate you he's just sad. He thinks you don't care about him and that all it was, was just for a bet. You need to prove to him that it wasn't. Your great with dates you'll know how to fix it."
"I'm good with girls though. Girls that I am just planning on sleeping with then never seeing again. This is Ed were talking about. He's special. With all the other girls I went out with I never cared if they didn't like me after the night ended. Half the time I was pushing them away anyway. Yet with Edward I just can't get him off my mind. I just want him with me all the time. I enjoy him smiling because of me and only me. Now I don't think I will ever get him to smile."
Hawkeye look at him with a sad smile, "Roy there is only one way to find out." Grabbing his shoulder she nudged him to the door. "Go."
Roy walks out the office. When he left his office, Roy started walking around town. He went to all Ed favorite restaurants. The next place he checked was every single library in central. It has been 5 hours sense Roy started looking for Ed and after running all the way across Central, Roy was out of breath. He was leaning over panting. Everyone who passed him, looked at him with a weird stare.
Something clicked into Roy's mind. 'How can I be so stupid? I didn't even check his apartment!'
Roy took off to Ed and Al's apartment. When he got there he fixed his hair and knocked.
Alphonse opened the door. "Colonel?"
"Alphonse what are you doing here? I thought you were in Resembool?"
"Yeah I came back to get my clothes. I was supposed to leave today."
Roy not paying attention to how Alphonse spoke in past tense asked "Do you know were Edward is?"
"Yes I do." Although Edward didn't tell Alphonse what was wrong when he saw him, Al did know about Edward's crush on Roy, so when Ed came back crying he had a hunch something happened between the two. Because of that, Alphonse did hesitate when Ed asked to borrow his ticket back to Resembool.
"So where is he if you don't mind me asking?"
"Before I tell you may you tell me why you are looking for him?"
"I have to apologize."
Barely above a whisper, Al said "I knew it."
"Um knew what?"
"Well when Ed came home crying he didn't tell me why, and since I knew Ed loved you for like forever, I had a feeling you must of done something."
"Wait, you saying Ed had loved me for a long time?"
"Yeah Ed knew he was gay for over two years now, girls just grossed him out. One time when we were on a mission we started talking about crushes and I told him I liked Winry and he told me he liked you, but back then he told me it would never work. I guess he was right?"
"Wait what makes you think that?"
"Well I am guessing that today Edward must have told you that he liked you and you must have rejected him seeing as he came back crying."
"No Alphonse I didn't reject him. Actually I love him."
"Then why did he come back crying?"
"I am going to have to start from the beginning. It might take a while can we sit down or something?"
"Yeah, come on in."
Roy stepped into the apartment and started looking around.
"Don't think you will be finding Edward here. He's probably in Resembool by now."
"WHAT!"
"Yeah he took my ticket I am supposed to leave tomorrow now."
"That idiot!"
"Hey don't talk about my brother that way. With the way he looked, I am surprised he didn't go somewhere farther."
"You are right, and it is my fault."
"So are you going to tell me what happened?"
"Yes." Roy took a deep breath and started with the conversation. "It all started with a bet…" After about a good 30 minutes Roy finished the story on what happened.
"YOU WERE GOING TO SLEEP WITH MY BROTHER FOR A BET! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!"
"Language Alphonse!"
For the second time today Roy got slapped. "Shut up I am extremely mad. I have every right to cuss at how. How dare you!"
"Listen Al like I said I was for a bet, but every time I was with him I forgot about the bet. I really did fall in love with him. After we made love, I realized that I didn't care about the bet. I didn't want that week vacation because I already got the perfect ending right there, so that day I was going to go to the office and tell them that I wasn't able to sleep with him and lose the bet, but Havoc had a spy on me the entire damn time and when they were talking about it Edward over heard."
Alphonse sat there for a moment to process all the Roy said. Then finally he asked "So you really do love him? And you were going to lie to lose the bet?"
"Yes and Yes I really didn't want to win the bet especially because I knew if it ever got out this would have happened."
"Well then what should we do?"
'We? Does that means he forgives me and will help me?' "Does that mean you will help?"
"Yes as long as you don't hurt my brother again."
"Never. I care about him way too much."
"Good you better. Cause if he comes back looking like he did I swear your other cheek will match that one." Alphonse said while pointing at Roy swollen, red cheek.
"Yes let us not let that happen."
"So again what are we going to do?"
"Well for starters, you need to get Edward to come back, then you can leave the rest to me."
"Deal. I will call you when I can get him to come home, so you can meet him at the train station or something."
"Thanks Alphonse, I owe you." 'Damn I am going to owe a lot of people after this.'
"Yes you will."
Author: Yay I got it up! I hope you like it!
Muhaha I always have to make Alphonse such a badass stories, and everytime Al's a badass, Roy get a beat down either physical or mental hahaha!

QUESTION: SHOULD I ADD A SMALL CHAPTER OF EDWARD IN RESEMBOOL (will include Al talking to Ed, Ed coming out of the closet to Winry and Granny, Edwards reaction to Roy telling Al everything… on the side Roy being extremely annoying to Alphonse trying to get Ed back faster) OR SHOULD I MAKE IT WHERE HE IS ALREADY COMING BACK? LET ME KNOW PLEASE!
