Metal, Flame, and Fangs
Welcome to chapter two of my lovely fanfiction, I hope you are enjoying it :)
I still do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, or anything I may cross this into.
Just so everyone knows, the updates to this do not have set times, I am a working person who also has three other on-going stories here on , but do not fear, I will not quit any of my stories, so if you bare with me I will eventually update.
On to chapter two.
"Ed time to wake, we are there" Roy said shaking the younger man laying in his lap. Edward opened his red eyes and looked up at Roy with a smile.
"Were already in Resembool? What time is it" Edward asked as he got up and reached to the compartments above their seats for his bags.
"It is five in the morning" Roy said as he also stood and grabbed his bags before they both exited the train, "I doubt that Al and Winry are even awake, so I think it would be nice to get some breakfast"
"Sounds like a good idea, there are some woods close to the edge of town that Alphonse, Winry and I use to go camping when we were kids" Edward said as he started to head for the woods.
They ended up catching a Deer and now it was around eleven in the morning so now they were walking up a small path that lead to Al and Winrys place. As the house came into sight Edward smiled. Sitting on the porch reading a book was his brother.
"Hey AL" Edward yelled in greeting.
Alphonse looked up from his book and looked over to see Edward and Roy walking up the path. He could already tell something was up because Roy was not wearing his normal military uniform, he was wearing a normal blue short sleeved shirt and black jeans with black boots, but hooked to the belt loop of his pants was a silver chain that was probably hooked to his sate alchemist watch in his front pocket. Edward was wearing a normal Black tee-shirt, his usual black leather pants, his normal black combat boots, and his usual red coat was tied around his waist, a silver chain also hooked to his pants and into his front pocket, but he was also wearing a pair of dark tented sunglasses.
"Brother!" Alphonse said as he sat the book down and stood up, he walked over to his brother as they reached the porch and gave Edward a hug, "I'm so glad you came to visit, I was so worried last time I spoke to you" he then pulled away from the hug and looked at Roy, "It's good to see you too General" Alphonse said as he extended his hand for a hand shake, Roy shook his hand with a smile.
"Please just call me Roy now" Roy said with a smile.
"OK, Roy, Ed what brings you all the way out here" Alphonse asked, he then grabbed Edwards Automail arm and looked it over, "Doesn't look broken"
"We are here because I wanted to visit you, and Roy wants to learn about Automail" Edward said pulling his arm out of his brothers grasp. Alphonse looked at Roy curiously. Roy could easily see the questions in his eyes and smiled.
"We will explain, but can we set our stuff down first" Roy asked.
"Yeah. Brother you can take the Guest room, Roy can take Pinakos old room" Alphonse said, but Edward shook his head.
"We will only need one room, we will both take the guest room" Edward said as he grabbed Roys hand with his one free hand and walked into the house, suddenly he was on the floor his bags laying around and a wrench laying beside his head.
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT CALLING BEFORE YOU SHOW UP" Winry yelled from her spot on the staircase.
"Gee I'm sorry, we had a lot going on I just forgot" Edward said as he rubbed his head. Alphonse held out his hand to help Edward stand but gasped when their eyes met.
"Brother, what happened to your eyes!" Alphonse asked. Roy frowned but stayed completely calm, Edward reached up and found his sunglasses were no longer there, they were laying on the ground.
"Well Al, remember when I called and said I was getting sick, the illness was something the doctors never seen before, no body knows how or why but my eyes turned red while I was sick" Edward said calmly that it impressed Roy how fast he had come up with that lie.
"Is it permenate?" Alphonse asked as he helped Edward stand.
"The doctors don't know, I hope it isn't" Edward said, "Honestly that illness was so bad that I am happy to be alive right now" Edward said with a smile and a quick glance at Roy who smiled back.
"Let me start making some lunch and you two can tell us what brings you here" Alphonse said as he went to the kitchen. Edward started to pick up his bags.
"It's good to see you Ed" Winry said as she went to help Alphonse with lunch. Once she was gone Edward let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"I'm surprised you came up with that so fast, It was very convincing too" Roy said as he helped pick up the bags.
"Yeah well I knew I wasn't going to be able to hide them from Alphonse for long so I already came up with that excuse before we even got on the train." Edward said with a smile, "Come on I will show you where our room is" he then walked up stairs followed closely by Roy.
They entered the room and set their bags down, Edward untied his coat and put it on the bed before walking back toward the door. Before he reached the door he felt two arms wrap around his waist and smiled as Roy kissed the back of his neck.
Edward turned around with Roys arms still around him, and kissed Roys lips while wrapping his arms around his neck.
"Lunch is ready" They heard Winry call from downstairs. They pulled apart and Edward sighed.
"Ready to tell them about our relationship and travel plans?" Roy asked.
"Yeah, Lets go, I can't wait to see the looks on their face when they find out we are a couple" Edward said as he grabbed Roys hand and almost ran down to the dinning room where they saw the table had a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches and some fruit.
Edward instantly grabbed an apple and took a bite of it with a smile as he sat in a chair at the table. Roy grabbed a sandwich and sat beside Edward. Alphonse and Winry sat beside each other across from Edward and Roy.
"So what brings you two to Resembool" Winry asked.
"We should start from the Beginning" Edward said, "For the past three years Roy and I have been dating" Alphonse and Winry looked at them in shock.
"How come you never told me brother" Alphonse asked.
"Because that would have put both our jobs in danger" Edward said then took another bite of the apple.
"So why are you telling us now" Winry asked.
"We will get to that soon" Roy said.
"About two months ago I started to get really sick, Roy made me take off work until I was better he even let me stay in his house and took care of me. He took me to the doctor when it started to get really bad and my eyes started to change, the doctors said they had no clue what was wrong and said they couldn't help me" Edward explained before sighing, "I came really close to death by that illness, I lost a lot of weight and I could barely move let alone keep down any food"
"Why didn't you tell me it got that bad, I would have come any try to help" Alphonse said.
"There was nothing you could do, plus I didn't want to cause more worry now that Winry is going to have a baby" Edward said with a smile, "Anyway, while I was almost on deaths door I thought about what I haven't got to do yet, and I realized there was a whole lot I haven't seen or done"
"He went into a coma like state for a few days, I took him to the hospital and stayed with him, everyone was amazed when he woke up, they thought he was going to die while he was sleeping, but he started to get better soon after that" Roy said with a happy smile.
"After they released me from the hospital I told Roy I wanted to travel the world, he said it sounded like fun and that he was going with me" Edward said.
"We resigned from the military and we came here because Ed wanted to see you guys first and I actually wanted to learn about Automail in case something happens" Roy finished.
"Wait, if you are no longer part of the military, why do you two still have your pocket watches" Alphonse asked.
"Fuhrer Yami personally told us to keep them as reminder of who we are, and as a gift for saving the land from Bradly and the other Homunculi" Edward said happily.
"So you want me to teach you how to work on Automail" Winry asked Roy with a smirk that sent a shiver down Roys spine, he nodded. "You start tomorrow morning, so make sure you are ready, you only have a couple months until I have to stop working for the baby, then you will either have to rely on books or find a new teacher"
"Yes Mam" Roy said with a solute earning a small laugh from Edward.
"Hey Al, wanna spar" Edward asked.
"Not right after eating brother" Alphonse said.
"OK, later then" Edward said.
(Time skip, One week)
"Where is Roy" Edward asked Winry from the door to her work room.
"He told me he had something to do and left, haven't seen him since this morning, why" Winry asked.
"Just needed to ask him something" Edward said with a small frown, he then went out to sit on the porch for some fresh air, he hasn't seen Roy since last night, and Roy seemed to be thinking about something last night but wouldn't tell what it was.
Soon he saw Roy walking up the path to the house and smiled.
"Roy" Edward called as he went to greet him half way and hugged him, "Where were you" Edward asked. Roy chuckled.
"It's a surprise, I know you are going to like" Roy said, "Now come on, I told Winry and Alphonse I was going to cook dinner today" Edward looked up at him with a curious look.
"I was going to ask if we can go hunt, I'm starting to get thirsty" Edward whispered.
"Don't worry, I filled a blood bag this morning, I was going to put some in our dinner tonight" Roy said as he kissed Edward.
"So that was what you had to do" Edward asked after the kiss ended.
"One of them yes" Roy said with a smile as he headed into the house and straight to the kitchen to start dinner.
"HEY WINRY" Edward yelled as he ran down a hall to her work room.
"What Ed" Winry asked looking up from a book.
"I was wondering if you could give my automail a check up, it has been a while since my last check up" Edward asked.
"I guess I can look it over" Winry said as she motioned Edward to sit in a chair.
It turned out both his arm and leg needed to be adjusted because he grew a little since his last check up. She decided to adjust the leg first and removed it giving Edward a makeshift leg for the time being.
"I will make the proper adjustments starting after dinner and it should be ready by noon tomorrow, then I will work on your arm." Winry said as she hooked in his makeshift leg. Edward left the work room and went to the living room to see Alphonse reading on the couch, he left his brother alone and went to the kitchen to watch Roy cook.
Roy made his and Edwards bowls first and pulled out his blood bag and poured half in his and half in Edwards, it wasn't a lot but it will do for now. Edward helped set the table and soon everyone was eating when Roy suddenly stood up and turned to Edward with a smile.
"What are you doing" Edward asked, Roy didn't say anything, just smiled bigger and kneeled down on one knee, instantly Winry and Alphonse gasped and Edward stared in shock.
"Edward Elric, Will you be mine, Forever" Roy asked as he pulled out a small box from his pocket and opened it, inside was a beautiful silver ring with a orange flame shaped diamond. Edward stared at it in shock for a moment in the blink of an eye Edward knocked Roy to the floor in a hug.
"YES" Edward yelled happily as he sat up sitting above Roys waist and handing out his flesh hand. Roy sat up as far as he could and slipped the ring on Edwards finger with a smile before Edward pulled him into a passionate kiss earning cheers from Alphonse and Winry. Roy pulled Edward into a hug and kissed his neck.
"Mine" Roy whispered tightening his hug and kissing Edwards neck again. They stayed like that for a while before Edward remembered they were in the dinning room and quickly got off Roy and stood up. Roy stood up also with a big smile.
"Congrats you two" Alphonse said with a smile.
"Thanks" both Roy and Edward said as they sat back at the table and finished their stew.
"I better be your maid of honor Ed" Winry said with a smile.
"Of course, who ells would it be" Edward agreed. Roy pointed at Alphonse with a smile.
"Ring barer" Roy simply said earning a smile from Alphonse.
"Who is going to be your best man Roy" Edward asked.
"Jean Havoc of course" Roy answered and Edward nodded at that.
That night Roy and Ed were laying beside each other in their shared bed, Ed had his head resting on Roys chest and Roy was running his fingers through Edwards hair.
"Roy, I was wondering, what did Havoc mean by calling you his king and him your knight" Edward asked.
"Hmmm" Roy hummed in thought of how to answer, "Well there are two reasons, one is a joke about the deal he made when he turned me into a vampire, the other is because I am the Attakai vampire king"
"How?" Edward asked amazed.
"About fifty years after Havoc turned me, the previous king wanted to meet me to see if I would join and serve directly under him... I really wasn't one for taking orders back then, so I refused, he got mad and tried to kill me, I won and Havoc said I had to drink the kings blood. That made me the Attakai vampire king, and gave me a extra boost in power" Roy explained.
"So my fiance is the king of Attakai vampires, I feel special" Edward said with a smile.
"You are special, it was my blood that turned you, that and the fact I am going to make you my husband makes you also a king of Attakai vampires" Roy said. Suddenly the door to their room opened to reveal Alphonse staring at them with wide eyes, Ed and Roy stared at him in shock and slight fear.
"I knew something was up with you two" Alphonse said, his eyes had conflicting emotions in them and Edward got up off the bed and took a step towards his brother, but Alphonse took a step back. Roy and Alphonse almost flinched at the look of hurt that flashed across Edwards face.
"Alphonse" Ed said sadly while looking at Al.
"You turned my brother into a vampire... I should have known that is what happened to him, the red eyes, the blood I saw you add to your bowls of stew, his new strength in our spars, and it explains why you haven't aged in all these years Roy" Alphonse said as he glared at Roy.
"Alphonse listen" Roy said as he stood calmly.
"I'm listening, tell me why you decided it was a good idea to turn my brother into a blood sucking vampire" Al growled.
"It wasn't his decision, it was mine" Edward said looking at Alphonse with sad eyes, Alphonse looked at Edward with a shocked look, "That illness I had was the same one that took our mother... I was on my death bed, the doctors couldn't help, I knew I wasn't going to get better." Edward said while looking at the floor, Alphonses eyes widened at that information.
"Why didn't you tell me this when you found out" Alphonse asked.
"I didn't want to worry you and Winry, stress and worrying is bad for the baby" Edward said while still looking at the floor, "one day I could feel it in my gut that that was going to be my last day of life, it was getting late and Roy went to make me dinner, I broke down and started to cry, there was so much I haven't done, so many people who would have been upset, I didn't want to die. Roy walked in while I was crying and hugged me, I told him I didn't want to die. That was when Roy revealed to me that he was a vampire, and that he could save me if I wanted him to."
"You wanted him to do it" Alphonse said I a small whisper.
"If it makes you feel any better Al, we do not drink human blood at all" Roy said as he pulled Ed closer to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders in a comforting way, Alphonse looked them over for a few moments then sighed.
"This was a huge shock, but knowing that despite being a vampire Roy watched over all his friends, as well as Havoc if I heard correctly. But more than anything I trust my brother" Alphonse said and smiled at Ed, Edward looked at Alphonse with wide eyes before smiling and walking over to give him a hug, "Now I wouldn't be too relieved yet, Winry has to know this, and I am sure it will be harder to convince her not to hurt you two" Both Ed and Roy paled at that.
"Alright, but you and Winry must swear to never tell anyone ells about us" Roy said while giving a serious look to Alphonse.
"I promise" Alphonse said, then looked at Ed with a evil grin, "You know brother... you will forever remain short now"
"I'm only two inches shorter than Roy" Edward growled with tick marks on his forehead earning laughs from the other two.
The next day Alphonse told Winry about Roy and Edward, she immediately tried to beat them both up with two wrenches, luckily Alphonse was soon able to calm her and she eventually accepted them and promised to not tell anyone.
Roy was in the work room with Winry as she was making adjustments to Edwards leg. Soon Winry called Edward back there to reattach it, Roy was the one who attached it, surprising Winry by how perfectly he did it. She then showed Roy how to detach Edwards Arm and then told Edward to leave while they made adjustments to his arm. By the end of the day Edward had his arm back and was sparring with his little brother to test the adjustments out.
After sparring with his brother and taking a shower Edward went to his and Roys room to make plans for their wedding that they plan to have about two months after Winrys baby is born.
The next day after Roy finished his lessons with Winry he and Edward made calls to central to let all their friends know the good news.
(Eleven Months later, Wedding day, sorry I not sure how to do the actual Wedding ceremony)
"You may now Kiss the groom" The priest said and instantly Roy kissed Edward passionately. Cheers erupted from the friends that gathered for their wedding, everyone was happy for them, even Alphonse and Havoc shed some tears.
"I love you, Edward Elric Mustang" Roy said as he looked into the now back to Golden eyes of his new and forever husband.
"I love you too Roy Mustang, and I always will" Edward said then kissed him again.
They then got all the congrats from all their friends and they all started to enjoy the wedding party. Roy asked Edward to dance and they ended up dancing together as Alphonse and Winry dance near by. Hawkeye was taking care of Alice, Al and Winrys baby. Havoc was having a drink from the hidden drink station Roy hid under the punch table specifically just for the three vampires. But most of all everyone was happy and enjoying themselves.
When it came time to pass out the cake, Edward and Roy took much enjoyment in smashing each others slices in each others face and then eating it off each other as Havoc, Fuery, Falman, and a buzzed Hawkeye cheered them on. When time for gifts came around almost half the guest were out cold form being drunk. They mostly received small gifts but when Fuhrer Yami walked up to them personally and presented Edward with his pet Chimera, all of the remaining sober guests gasped.
"Are you serious sir?" Edward asked looking at the winged cat in shock.
"Yes, now you should know something special about this Chimera, nobody knows why but it doesn't get older and it doesn't die, so when my alchemy teacher gave me him he told me to pass him down only to who I believed to be worthy of him, I have not met any one that I have seen more worthy than you two." Yami said as Edward took the chimera out of his hands, "He is also smart, although it can not speak, it can still understand what we say" Yami added before returning to the drink counter and grabbing another beer.
"I can't believe he actually gave us his Chimera" Edward said as he started to pet it behind its ears causing it to purr.
"Yeah, now what are we going to do with it" Roy asked.
"Keep it of course" Edward said looking at Roy like it was the only answer in the world.
"I meant for tonight and possibly well into next week" Roy said as he wrapped his arms around Edwards waist from behind and kissed the back of his neck before quickly licking Edwards ear.
Edward instantly got Roys hint and looked around. Most of the guests have already passed out except Yami, Havoc, Hawkeye who looked about to pass out, Armstrong, Fuery, Falman, Winry, Alice, and Alphonse. Edward moved out of Roys hold and walked over to his brother with a smile.
"Hey Al, Fuhrer Yami gave Roy and I a new pet, I was wondering if you can watch over it for a while, just till Roy and I make it home." Edward asked. Alphonse looked at the chimera with a smile.
"Alright brother, I will watch over it, have fun with Roy" Alphonse said with a suggestive tone as he took the winged cat into his arms. Edward returned to Roy and was instantly back in the mans embrace.
"Ready to go?" Roy asked, Edward nodded and they quietly left the party only being seen leave by Alphonse and Havoc. They went to a very fancy Hotel that Roy paid for and began a very long night of love making.
(Not ready to make a lemon for this yet. Time skip, one year later.)
"Well that is everything I can teach you Roy, you have passed all my expectations, and I know you could build an automail limb from scratch if you want to" Winry said as they finished the arm they were asked to make for a lady in town.
"Thanks Winry, you do not know how grateful I am you actually took the time to teach me all of this" Roy said holding out his hand for a handshake but was surprised when she pulled him into a hug.
"We are family Roy, no handshakes allowed" She said with a smile as she pulled away from him, "besides I'm just happy you actually took time to learn all of this just for Ed" she said as she put the arm into a box.
"I would do anything for him" Roy said happily.
"Including changing him at the risk of exposing yourself, You better take very good care of him" Winry said waving a wrench at him.
"Don't worry, Edward can take care of himself, and I will always be there with him" Roy assured her.
"So when are you two going to start traveling now that you finished learning about Automail" She asked as they left the work room.
"Well that depends on when Ed wants to go" Roy said, "I will talk to him tonight"
They entered the kitchen to see Edward had Alphonse in a headlock on the floor, and the Chimera Edward decided to call Rogue was sitting on a counter watching them.
"What are you two doing" Winry yelled causing the two men to freeze.
"We were trying to decide who would cook dinner tonight" Edward said as he released his brother and stood up off the floor.
"And your deciding factor is putting your younger brother in a headlock" Roy asked with one eyebrow raised.
"Yes because that means he lost and he has to cook dinner" Edward said.
"Your win still hasn't helped your height, your still short." Alphonse said with a grin.
"DON'T CALL ME SHORT" Edward yelled, everyone laughed.
"Anyway I better get dinner started" Alphonse said as he began to gather what he needed.
"Hey Ed, guess what" Roy said with a grin. Edward looked at him with a curious look.
"What" Edward asked after a few minutes of thought.
"I have officially learned all I can about Automail, and we can start our travels when ever you want to" Roy said, Edwards eyes widened at the news and a big smile found its way to his face.
"Really?" Edward asked excitedly.
"Yep, Roy-boy here can build you Automail from scratch if you ever need it, and knowing you that might happen" Winry said.
"Come on, lets go to our room and plan when and where we are going to go" Roy said as he turned and left the kitchen, Rogue flew onto Edwards shoulders as Edward followed after Roy.
"Can you two check on Alice for me while you are at it" Winry asked them as they left.
(Got to love these time skips, Two years later)
"I feel like I will actually miss this place" Roy said looking out the window from the train they were on headed out of the country, "Out of all the places I have lived, I liked this one the best" Roy said.
"That brings me to a question I have been wondering for a long while now" Edward said and Roy looked at him, "Exactly how old are you and what age were you when you were turned"
"Well, I think I am about a hundred and fifty. I was turned at the age of twenty-two" Roy answered after a few moments.
"That is cool, you are physically only one year older than me" Edward noted with a smile.
"It is a good thing too, we can still pass off as teens when we move around, and most the time people do not realize your not aging until you reach your mid thirties almost forties." Roy said with a smile.
"That's good" Edward said as he started to pet Rogue who was sleeping in his lap.
A/N
I know, it wasn't that good an ending.
Until next time
