Edward just about jumped out of his skin when, behind him, Roy muttered, "What you doing there?"

Frantic and surprised, Ed covered up the paper he was writing on with his hands—then, deciding that wasn't enough, he slouched over so his entire upper body was blocking the words from Roy's view. "Don't scare me like that!"

Roy laughed, rubbing Edward on the back. "Since when are you so jumpy? C'mon, let me see what you're hiding there."

"No way!" Ed insisted. Carefully, he lifted himself up enough to turn the papers face down, before turning around and looking Roy in the eye. "I'm—I'm writing my vows, okay? And I want it to be a surprise."

Grinning now, Roy pulled Edward up out of his chair and over to the couch, pulling him into a hug. "Well, that's all right then. To be honest, I was kind of wondering when you would get around to doing those, considering the wedding isn't even three months away…"

"Uh huh, and when were you planning on writing your vows?" Ed pouted, cuddling into Roy's side nevertheless. "The night before the wedding?"

Rolling his eyes, Roy lifted himself off the couch for a moment, careful not to disturb Edward too much, and pulled a slightly crinkled, folded paper out of his pocket. "I've been prepared for a few weeks now, Ed," he replied lightly, waving the paper in Ed's face.

"Those are you vows?" Edward asked, eyes locked onto Roy's hand. "I dunno if I believe that. I mean, that's pretty convenient, just pulling them out of your pocket like that."

"Of course they're in my pocket," Roy responded, placing the papers back into his jeans. "I always carry them around. That way whenever I have free time, I can read through them. I've got the first half memorized, now, and I've only had to make a few changes."

Edward was brought up short. The idea of Roy carrying around the words he wanted to say to Ed on their wedding day was unbearably sweet. Smiling softly, Ed reached up to press a quick kiss to Roy's mouth, only for it to turn heated as the man took control.

"You know, I don't know if I can forgive you for doubting me," Roy murmured as they pulled apart. "Or for being so late in working up your vows."

"Hush, you," Edward growled, cupping Roy's cheeks and pressing their lips together once more. "You always forgive me."

"Sometimes I punish you."

"That's what I'm hoping for."

Abruptly, Ed was pushed onto his back and Roy was hovering over him, teeth scraping his ear as the man purred, "I'm sure I can arrange something." Again their mouths met, Edward's ever eager. He smiled into the kiss, lifting his legs and wrapping them around Roy's back to bring the man closer. Roy groaned in response, pushing himself onto Ed so that his weight was almost too much, encompassing him entirely. Not that Edward was going to complain. He never got tired of this.

"Hey, Roy," he panted when they finally broke for air. "You remember my birthday?"

"Obviously," the man snorted. "It was only a week ago, I'm not so old I'd forget that."

"Well," Ed continued playfully, stroking Roy's hair, "do you remember what I got for my birthday?"

"A garter, a necklace, free flowers, a blanket, and some photo frames," Roy rattled off with an air of superiority.

"Ah, ah, ah, you forgot something," Edward breathed. "Havoc gave me two gifts…"

"The ball gag?" Roy asked, confused. "That was just a gag gift—oh hell, it's even a pun…"

"That may be true," Ed admitted. "But guess what?" He raised himself off the couch to whisper in Roy's ear, "I kept it."

The man above him inhaled sharply, bending down to attack Edward's neck hungrily. "Where?" he hissed, grinding against Ed impatiently.

"Bedroom," Edward whimpered, unable to force anything else out. Without another word, Roy scooped Ed up, carrying him swiftly to the bedroom and tossing him on the bed. Edward wasted no time, pulling his jeans and shirt off as Roy rifled through drawers, finally stumbling across the gag. The man held it up victoriously, and Ed opened his mouth obligingly to that Roy could put it in.

The gag was an odd feeling, strange, but not uncomfortable. And judging from the feel, it wouldn't stop Edward from making noises, just from speaking, putting him rather thoroughly at Roy's mercy. Having been in that situation before, Ed couldn't suppress a pleasant shudder that ran through him.

Roy backed away, examining his work. "Comfy?" he asked, and Edward nodded. He could breathe, he wasn't in pain, all was well. Satisfied, the man stripped of his shirt, lifting Ed's arms and tying his wrists together with the sleeves. Edward couldn't help but picture where this was going to go, and it had his chest heaving.

"Ed…" Roy whispered, running his hands down Ed's arms. "You look so…edible."

Edward whimpered as the man stepped back, removing the rest of his clothing at the foot of the bed before clambering back onto Ed. The feeling made Edward's throat go dry. Without hesitation, Roy began to bite at Ed's neck, just gently at first, and then harder as the man made his way to Edward's collarbones. As he did so, Roy ground their hips together, making Ed whimper at the friction and wish he had thought to remove his boxers as well.

In fact, it was getting harder and harder for Edward to deal with the fact that he wasn't entirely naked. He bucked upwards, moaning, trying to get Roy to understand.

"What is it, Ed?" the man breathed, voice husky as he glanced up to meet Ed's eyes. "You want it?"

Frantically, Edward nodded, but Roy only laughed. "Beg."

Ed threw his head back with frustration, arching into Roy's touch as the man began to palm him. Fuck, he was such a tease. Desperate, he tried to form the word "please," but thanks to the gag, that wasn't working out. Why had he thought it was a good idea to keep the stupid thing?

A muffled shriek made its way through the gag as Roy moved further down, taking Edward into his mouth through the boxers. Nimble fingers ran up and down his sides, and Ed thrust upward, desperate for more.

"Mmpphf! Mmmm…"

Panting heavily, Roy moved back up with a groan, pressing a light kiss to Edward's chin before finally removing his boxers. Ed gasped as he was exposed to the open air, Roy immediately beginning to grind down on him once more. And oh, what a feeling. It was slippery, it was messy...it was wonderful. Roy was again at Ed's neck, and Edward took the opportunity to throw bound hands around the man's shoulders, holding him down, bucking up against him. He wanted to do more, claw at Roy's back, grab the man in his hands…but that was all he could manage.

All of the contact was beginning to become too much for Ed, and he was arching harder than ever. Even Roy wasn't that much of a tease, and once again the man moved down, taking Edward into his mouth. Again Ed screamed, huffing and moaning and unable to keep anything in. Anything at all.

Moments later, Roy pulled away from a gasping Edward, swallowing his mouthful before grinning widely at Ed. Edward, for his part, couldn't help noticing that Roy was still rock hard, and with great difficulty he sat up, nudging Roy's shoulder. The man seemed to get the idea and reached up, removing the gag from Edward's mouth.

Voice raspy, Ed panted, "Would you loosen my hands, just for a second?"

Roy obliged, undoing the bonds entirely. That just wouldn't do. Edward rolled his shoulders and clasped his hands behind his back. "Now you have to tie me up again, silly."

Looking confused, Roy nevertheless twisted the sleeves around Ed's wrists once more. Thus prepared, Edward murmured, "Sit. On the edge."

Ed stood while Roy twisted himself around, kneeling between the man's legs once he was ready. He glanced up, smirking mischievously up at Roy, waggling his fingers to remind the man that he still didn't have all that much control. Roy inhaled sharply, just as Edward took the man in.

Since he'd hooked up with Roy, Ed had gotten a lot of practice blowing the man, but never before had he done so without the aid of his hands. It was a little trickier, and Edward found himself having to take more in than usual to compensate. Roy didn't seem to be having a bad time, though, not judging from the sounds he was making.

"Fuck, Ed…"

Pleased, Edward continued, gradually speeding up the pace, bobbing forward and trying not to lose his balance, which was harder than he had expected with his hands behind his back. It wasn't long before Ed felt Roy start to shift, tightening imperceptibly. Close, then.

Suddenly there were hands in his hair, digging in and pushing him forward. Edward giggled around his mouthful, resulting in a shaking moan. It was so much fun to see Roy lose control.

Seconds later, the man lost it completely, pulling Ed's head back and off of him. Edward barely had time to close his eyes (a precaution he had learned to comply with by experience, unfortunately), leaving his mouth open wide as warm jets hit his face.

Opening his eyes cautiously, Ed smiled, licking his lips and looking up at a gasping, flushed Roy as he nuzzled the man's knee with his cheek. "Have a good time?"

"Edward Elric, you should not be allowed to be this hot," Roy rasped, running his fingers through Ed's hair…and pulling them back sticky. "Oops."

Edward laughed, standing unsteadily and turning around so Roy could let him loose. "I think I need a shower. Join me?"

"You say that like it's a question."
