Hello everyone Yes I'm back with ANOTHER Fullmetal Alchemist story, yet I haven't updated any other stories? Cringes at the death glares I know I know but I can explain. This story first made is way into the world as a chat role-play message between me and a friend of mine, after a while we agreed that it would make a good story and I promised him credit on the story. 12 hours of role-playing later, andwe had 53 pages of the unedited story from outbRP.this 1st chapter is the first13 pages.

While we role-played Bloodyfire (His pen name on Gaia) wrote as Ed and Alphonse (And a bit of Hughes in this chapter), while I (Jade Rotaski) played as Roy and Havoc.

Trust me, after editing it; it's a hell of a lot better than it sounds XD. Be warned this is EdxRoy and will have eventual HavocxAl Yaoi Enjoy!

Disclaimer: The characters aren't mine; only half of this story is mine, the other half belongs to Bloodyfire.

Twisted Days

Chapter 1: Confusion and realization

-------------

Colonel Roy Mustang yawned as he stretched lazily and leaned back in his chair, blatantly ignoring the piles of paperwork Hawkeye had left for him, as his mind wandered elsewhere. 'I wonder when Ed will be back from his mission in Zenotime' Roy sighed and closed his eyes; he would never, EVER admit it to anyone, but try as he might the dark haired alchemist missed the blonde loudmouth more than he let on. 'This place is just too quiet without him'

MEANWHILE…

Ed groaned as he and his brother trudged on, the mission was finally over but with that he had to go and do a dreaded report, which meant he had to go and see the stupid Colonel who took pleasure out of teasing him and making fun of his height "That bastard!" he yelled out loud for no reason, just thinking about the meeting was getting him annoyed and aggravated and he still had at least another hours walk ahead of him, why oh why had they accidentally trashed the car on the way back?

Alphonse sweat dropped at his brothers out burst; since Al had gotten his body back he had applied for the state alchemist's exam and passed with flying colours, so now like Ed he was a skilled State alchemist who didn't need to use a transmutation circle. "Come on brother its not far until we get to central" Al said softly, half wishing he was armour again because he'd never been tired as armour. With a sigh the two brothers walked down the long road to central.

--------------

Jean havoc was whistling to him self cheerily as he drove back to headquarters after running an errand, there was no real reason why he was in a chirpy mood, he just was. It was then he spotted two familiar red jackets. "Hey!" Havoc yelled as he slowed to a stop next to the brothers and wound down the window. "Are you heading to HQ chief?" Havoc asked with a grin.

"Yeah we are what it is to you!" Ed snapped, having gotten into a bad mood and wasn't in the mood to speak to anyone nicely today "Brother!" Al scolded before looking to the other apologetically "Yes we are" he said bowing "Sorry about my brother he's in a bad mood"

Havoc grinned, more then used to Ed's erratic moods swings. "Well you two want a ride? I'm heading back there myself" Jean offered lazily chewing on the end of his cigarette. "Thank you it would be much appreciated" the youngest Elric brother said a friendly smile and a bow, Ed just grumbled under his breath and crossed his arms as the Elric brothers climbed into the back seat of the car.

Jean grinned as the Elric brothers got into the car. "What you so tense about Ed? Let me guess, you have to see Mustang today am I right?" Jean said with a sly grin, as they drove to HQ. Ed glared at the man through the rear-view mirror "It's none of your business!" he snapped again.

"Calm down brother" Al said and apologised to Jean once more "I can't take it though, that smug bastard and his snide remarks and calling me stupid names like squirt, and short, and really small shrimpzilla!" the last name was followed by a short temper fit.

"Don't go that far brother, he never says too bad of things" Alphonse said, The blonde alchemist crossed his arms, huffed and turned away once more "He's still a bastard!" Ed insisted, as Havoc waved off Al's apology, and resisted the urge to burst out laughing at Ed's temper tantrum; himself, Hughes and Riza Hawkeye knew that the Colonel actually lusted after the teenage alchemist, but denied the boy his feelings and covered them with insults to the blonde's height so that The blonde wouldn't suspect. "Ah well think of it this way; the sooner you see him the sooner you can leave" Havoc said with a grin.

"Yeah but the sooner I see him, the sooner he gets his face punched in!" Ed grumbled watching the scenery pass by and not uttering another word, Al chuckled nervously at his brothers comment before sweat dropping heavily; his brother would never change, even though Al knew, that Ed knew that the Colonel wasn't such a bad guy really.

Havoc couldn't stop himself from laughing this time and he winked at Ed through the rear wing mirror good naturedly. "Come on Ed we all know that REALLY deep down you have some sort of respect for Mustang, even if he does tease you about your height" Havoc said this as the drove through the gates of Central HQ.

Ed lunged forward wrapping his hands around the man's neck and shaking him violently "Don't say stupid things like that!" he growled his eyes glinting evilly "That man is nothing but a stuck up, spoiled jerk who doesn't know a thing about people and respect!" Edward yelled not noticing that Havoc was gasping for air, or that at the rate they were going, they were going to crash into a wall. "Bother!" The younger Elric brother exclaimed in a panicked voice as he pulled the blonde off of Havoc in time and held him in place "Knock it off or we'll crash!" he scolded. Ed growled and struggled against his brother's hold before giving up "I don't like Mustang, I'll NEVER like that bastard" he said in a pouty tone.

Havoc took deep breaths and altered the cars course to stay on the road instead of smashing into a building, the dirty blonde solider rubbed at his neck sheepishly where Ed had grabbed him, but the smile didn't falter from his face as the car came to a stop inside the Central HQ and the dirty blonde solider killed the engine to the car. "Come on, out the car, I'll inform Mustang your here Ed" Havoc said, but just before he went inside the dirty blonde haired solider grinned at him evilly "Oh and Ed? We all know you get a kick out of Roy insulting you about your lack of height" Havoc then proceeded to run inside the building, like the four horsemen of the apocalypse were after him.

Al grabbed a hold of Ed before he could chase after Havoc like a hound of hell 'Why does he have to say such things?' the younger Elric though with a sigh as his older brother ranted and yelled about stupid Lieutenant's and there flapping mouths. Eventually Ed had managed to calm down enough so that they could meet up with Mustang. The Elric brothers proceeded to enter the building once Ed had calmed down. "Lets get this over with, just stay calm and everything will be okay brother" Alphonse sighed as he stopped outside of Roy's door. Ed just growled at what Al had said and burst through the door looking for Havoc, in Roy's office so he could rip him apart; Ed had said he'd never kill with alchemy but in Havoc's case, he could damn well make an exception.

Havoc however was cowering behind Hawkeye's desk as Ed walked through to Mustangs office. Roy grinned to himself; it seemed someone (Probably Jean) had annoyed Fullmetal before he had. "Ah there you are, I wondered how long it would take for me to spot you over the desk" Roy said with a smile, while his eyes raked over Ed body hungrily, he knew that Ed probably wouldn't notice and that was a good thing; the military opposed same sex relationships, especially if it was between a superior officer and his subordinate.

Ed growled at the comment and threw a fit "Bastard! I'm not that short, you freak!" The blonde teenager was in too much of a bad mood to take lightly the Colonel's sarcastic comments "Let's just get this over with, so I don't have to look at your ugly mug anymore" he growled angrily wanting dearly to be anywhere but in the Colonels office right now.

Roy smiled and stood up out of his chair "Please, Fullmetal if anyone is the freak in here it is you with your abnormal lack in height" Mustang said, hoping to make Ed blow up big style; His plan was to get Ed annoyed enough to try and attack the flame alchemist, who would, in turn pin the smaller man to the floor and see what reaction the blonde gave out. Roy inwardly smirked evilly at his plan, it was nearly flawless.

Ed tensed up, the hairs on the back of his neck bristling like that of a cat "That's it!" he yelled, lunging at Roy as he leapt over the Colonel's desk. Oh how badly he wanted to punch that smug look off the others face. Roy however, was expecting this, and had easily gotten a firm grip on Ed's metal arm before it could strike him; Using Ed's weight against him, Roy flipped the boy over and the blonde landed with a hard thud on the floor, Roy pinning him securely to the floor. The dark eyed colonel smirked and leaned down his face near the blonde's ear. "Tsk, Tsk Fullmetal, you could have had your alchemist status revoked if I had let you had hit me" Roy said in his usual tone of voice only he whispered it into the blonde alchemist's ear.

Ed was winded momentarily from his rough landing and shivered unconsciously from Roy's breath on his ear, then remembering where he was and who was speaking, started to struggle as violently as he could "Get off me!" he yelled trying to force the other away. Roy smirked evilly to himself when Ed shivered and kept a good grip on Ed as the blonde struggled. "Not until you apologize to me" Roy said simply, once again whispering in the blonde's ear. Roy liked the position he was in; he had pinned both of Ed's arms above his head, while he pinned his legs with his own. Overall, Roy Mustang really liked where he was at the moment, and had no desire to move for a while.

Ed's heart started to race as he realized how futile his struggling was "No! I'll never apologise to you!" he yelled up at Roy glaring fiercely from his current position, his golden eyes burning fiercely. 'Kuso!' his mind cursed him, how had he gotten himself into this mess and why was it affecting his body so much? Damn his body!

Roy chuckled, he had to resist the urge to just ravish the boy right now, instead Roy sighed and looked like he was disappointment, then he ever so slowly sat on Ed's lap, as he did this he brought Ed's arms from above his head to have them pinned at the blonde's sides. "Well I'm not moving until you apologize to me Ed, and we can stay like this all night if you like, Hawkeye is out on her day off, and I doubt Havoc will be intruding upon us..." Roy broke off and grinned, before leaning down, his lips mere inches away from Ed's. "So apologize...Edward"

Golden eyes widened in shock as the colonel did this as a realization hit him 'That bastard! He probably had all this planned from the start, just to embarrass me!' He thought and started struggling again, "You bastard I hate you!" He yelled trying desperately to throw the older male off him. But finding that it still didn't work switched to a new strategy.

"Al!" he yelled out desperately, embarrassing as this was, and he knew that his brother would come help him…right? Unfortunately for the blonde, Al was currently outside playing with a stray kitten that had mysteriously found its way into the military HQ and did not hear his brother's pleas for help. Ed growled at his failed attempts to escape the Colonel's clutches, and glared at the man above him fighting down a blush; this was way to close for comfort and was quickly becoming an even more uncomfortable situation.

Roy mentally thanked Havoc for brining in a stray cat especially to keep Al away from Roy's office, as the dark haired alchemist once again managed to keep Edward pinned underneath him. With a lustful smirk, he not-so-innocently brushed his knee gently against Ed's groin as he shifted and tried to get into a more comfortable position on top of Ed. "Looks like you brother isn't coming to save you Elric, so why don't you just admit defeat and apologize" 'Before my resolve breaks' Roy thought to himself, as he resisted the urge to undo Ed's braid and rake one of his un-gloved hands thought Ed's silky blonde hair.

Ed's eyes widened once more and he chocked back a gasp of shock and of slight pleasure that went through him at the touch of Roy's knee on his groin; There was NO WAY in hell Ed would let that jerk have the satisfaction of knowing he could rise another emotion other then rage, out of him "I'll never apologize to a bastard like you, so I hope your damn comfy Colonel shit!" Ed growled out still struggling, even though he knew it was futile; the older man outweighed him easily and could use his weight and to Ed's annoyance, height to his advantage in this situation.

"Get the hell off me you asshole!" Ed yelled trying to kick the hell out of Roy with his metal leg but he couldn't really flail about as he normally did when angered because he had a certain Colonel pinned on top of him. Ed cursed Al and wherever he had disappeared to; if his disappearance was due to another feline, the blonde would go on a killing rage to make sure that the feline race became extinct.

Roy smirked at the choked gasp Fullmetal gave out; it was quiet, but Roy picked it up easily enough and his penis twitched at the sound. Mustang sighed and shook his head "If you don't apologize, then I'm afraid that I'll just have to punish you instead" Roy said, innuendo hidden behind every damn word and he made sure Ed knew it too by whispering his words in the teens ear. "Two choices, Fullmetal; apologize, or face your punishment" Roy knew, he just knew that Edward would resist until the very end; after all, it was in the blondes nature to be as stubborn as a mule.

Ed growled, so pissed that if he wasn't already pinned he would "You have no basis on which to punish me on!" he protested angrily ignoring his body and the shivers coursing through them as Mustang spoke close to his ear, his warm breath being what was making him shiver slightly. He couldn't lose to Mustang, even if he was in a very compromising position. Damnit it all to hell, damn Al, damn the smug bastard that was on top of him, and damn his body for betraying him. He gave another growl of annoyance, Mustang, that damn pervert of a bastard had him pinned and exactly where he wanted him, 'I am going to kick his fucking ass when I get free!' the teen thought, attempting to kick the colonel with his free leg.

Mustang sensed this coming and managed to block it "Basis of punishment? You tried to hit me Ed, that is basis enough, and seen as your not going to apologize, I'll have to punish you" Roy said, and before The blonde could protest, The flame alchemist gently he brushed his knee yet again over Ed's groin before he bent down and captured Ed's lips in a kiss.

Ed tensed, he was frozen to the spot, all his movements stopped when Roy kissed him suddenly 'What the hell! What kind of punishment is this?' half his brain yelled 'He's a damn perverted paedophile!' But the other half, the other half which had only recently developed, was whooping for joy and throwing a party; after all the teasing and suggestion the Colonel had gone into action and was finally doing something.

But, since this half was still only partially developed, the more stubborn and rational, or irrational part of his brain, depending on how you look at it, took over and he turned away breaking the kiss, faint traces of a blush lining his cheeks "Bastard" he growled out, although it was much quieter then any of his previous statements. Damn that bastard for doing this to him, confusing him and angering him both at the same time, as well as sending the weirdest sensation coursing through his body, Ed cursed the dark haired alchemist's knee for what it was doing to him.

Roy smirked at Ed's more than subdued answer and chuckled and slowly brushed his knee up against Ed's crotch, again. "Why Ed, if I didn't know any better, I'd think a part of you was beginning to enjoy your punishment" Mustang teased mercilessly before he began to nibble at the blonde alchemist's neck gently, licking and sucking here and there

Ed's breath hitched at this and he attempted to free his hands to push the Colonel away, this was wrong, what the hell was wrong with the Colonel? Had he gone insane or something! He wasn't even a girl! Then something in his mind clicked; this was another stupid ploy to piss him off! Mustang was insulting him by treating him like he would a girl! This angered Ed off to no extent; how dare that bastard toy with him like that!

With a surprising amount of strength and energy Ed didn't know he had, he managed to flip them and pinned the Colonel down, his flesh hand on Roy's throat and his auto-mail one poised in the air ready to strike, his legs straddled either side of the raven haired man's hips, and he growled "You bastard! I'm not a girl!' he yelled bringing his fist down to strike the others face.

Roy didn't know what happened until Ed had flipped them over; Roy smirked, Ed being all dominant? That was a definite turn on, quickly he caught Ed's fist and stopped its descent to his face as he spoke calmly. "Really? Good, because I wouldn't be kissing you if you were female" Roy said huskily, before using his other hand to tug on Ed's shirt sown and bring the blonde Alchemist down for another passionate kiss.

Ed was shocked, no…stumped was a batter word. Yes, Ed was stumped by what Mustang had just said. 'What the hell was that supposed to mean? Does that mean that the bastard's gay?' Ed thought, but it didn't add up…Roy Mustang had a notorious reputation for stealing other people's girlfriends and sleeping around with women, and he was always going on about how the female personnel should wear tiny miniskirts.

This was way to confusing for his 16 year old brain to comprehend; he tried to pull back and away from the Colonel, but Roy had a pretty good hold upon the back of his neck, and his auto mail arm was also held firmly, if he moved his left hand as well, he'd fall completely onto the other man and he did not want that.
Faintly, he thought that maybe he should apologize and end this, but he still didn't believe he should and somehow he knew lying would only make this bad (to him anyway) situation worse. 'Give in' a part of him hissed 'enjoy it' it urged, more persistent this time. 'I can't, it's wrong' Ed thought as he tried to block out all thoughts and concentrated solely on getting away from Mustang.

Roy knew that he'd confused Ed, I mean all he'd ever talked about was getting all females in the military to wear miniskirts and going out with as many women as possible...but all of that had changed since he had met Ed, no one had noticed bar Hughes, Havoc and Hawkeye, but Roy had actually stopped going out on dates with women, and the only time he bragged about the miniskirts was when everyone else was around, in truth, he'd given up on dates and getting women into miniskirts a LONG time ago. Roy broke the kiss and saw confusion in Ed's eyes, Mustang chuckled to himself and let go of Ed so he could move.

Ed quickly put distance between himself and the dark haired male "You!" he said "you bastard! I should report you for this or something!" he exclaimed eyes wide and mouth gaping. That had to have been one of the most disturbing, yet arousing experiences in all his life, what disturbed and sickened him the most was that a large part of him had enjoyed it, it had enjoyed it a lot, and was currently willing him to pounce on the Colonel and continue what they were doing, which of course, rationally Ed would never do, because that would mean Mustang would have won yet again. He looked around for something to throw at the bastard and found he wasn't close enough to anything to throw and had backed himself into a wall; he stood on his legs and glared daggers at Roy.

Roy sighed a strange, satisfied smirk on his face and slowly he stood up from the floor, taking of his blue uniform jacket and dumping it on a nearby sofa, leaving only his white shirt (With the two buttons at the top of the shirt undone) "I don't mean to sound like I'm threatening you or anything Fullmetal, but who would believe you?" Roy smiled and knelt next to Ed so that they were at eye level; Roy was close enough to touch the blonde, but also far away enough for Ed to get up and run if he wanted to. "And besides, I have a feeling part of you enjoyed what just happened...right Ed?" Roy asked, locking his onyx eyes with Ed's golden ones.

Ed looked away, while biting his bottom lip in anger, and how could that bastard see right through him so easily? Besides it wasn't his fault! He was a teenager, teenaged bodies acted weird to the right kind of stimuli right? But that normally came from a girl and not a guy! He glared down at Roy since he was standing and the other was crouching, although sadly, there wasn't much height different and that really annoyed the blonde.

But Roy was right; who would believe him that Roy, the super pervert womanizer had sexually assaulted him? It would make him seem bad for saying such things and tarnish his reputation. "Kuso!" he cursed clenching his fists, knowing that he was stuck there. Why oh why had this day taken a turn for the worse? Roy stood and smiled at the blonde. "Kuso, doesn't answer my question Ed" Roy said, as he stood and closed in on Ed a little more (Though there was still space for him to move) "And as you superior officer I demand you answer the question truthfully, did you enjoy it or not?" Ed blinked as Roy was once again towering over him, how he dare pull that trump card, it was mean and cruel, and downright unfair. He blinked a few times and muttered a reply "I didn't hear that" Roy said arrogance clear in his tone "I said-" Ed started to yell, but was cut off as the phone rang, both males looked to the black phone, Ed with relief, Roy in annoyance.

The Colonel frowned and moved away from Ed slightly so he could pick up the phone; Roy had a premonition that it was Hughes, so he put his gloves on. (Lol) "Stay there Fullmetal" Roy ordered, as he picked up the phone, his eyes not leaving Ed's.

"Why hello Roy, how nice of you to answer" Hughes voice rang out from the other side of the phone "I can't believe how big Elysia (sp?) Is turning 4 years old next month! And she's such a doll, a genius even!" the male exclaimed in a gushy voice from the other side of the phone "Her smile warms my heart and it just makes my eyes water to hear her laugh" he said prattling on about his beloved daughter. Ed meanwhile was very slowly and very cautiously inching his way along the wall and towards the door. He knew Roy was watching him very closely but in a daring instant, he made a mad dash for the door.

Roy, figured that this would happen, hence another reason why he'd put his gloves on. Roy merely clicked his fingers and the entrance to his office was suddenly engulfed in flames, preventing Ed from escaping. "Hughes as much as I enjoy speaking to you on the phone, I'm rather busy at the moment...I'm dealing with Full metal's…report..." Roy said, a smirk appearing on his face.

"Eyeah!" Ed screeched at the flames and stopped mid run.

"Oh ho, you're finally making your move hmm?" Hughes said, and Roy could practically hear the smirk and barley contained laughter in his voice "Well good luck to you, god knows you'll need it with him! I'll leave you to it…but Roy, don't traumatize the boy to much" Roy smirked and rolled his eyes at Hughes voice; typical of the man to be giving him advice "Of course I won't...much, goodbye Hughes" then with a chuckle, he hung up the phone. Hughes also hung up and started laughing, before the woman at the front desk told him to shut up and get back to work.

Ed rounded and glared at the Colonel from across the room "Let me out!" he exclaimed pointing his hand towards the door. Roy put the phone away and walked over to Ed, pulling him away from the door, a good grip on Ed's shirt. Then using alchemy Roy lowered the oxygen density in the air, which put the fire out. "Your not leaving until you answered my question, though I give you full marks for trying to escape" Roy said with a smirk.

"Damn you bastard let me go!" Ed said stubbornly grabbing Roy's hand trying to force the other to release him; he silently pleaded for some miracle to save him, but suspected that Hughes phone call had been it and he had lost his opportunity. "Teme what does it matter if I enjoyed it or not, doesn't' change the fact that you're a sick bastard!"

"Ah...so you did enjoy it..." Roy said, a smile forming on his face, not a smirk but a true smile of warmth and affection. "Hmmm, I'm sick am I?" Roy smiled and kissed to top of Ed's forehead quickly before letting go of Ed a sad look on his face. "Why am I sick Ed? Is it because I'm in love with you and wanted to find out how you felt in my own way, or because you think I'm using you for a quick fix?"

Ed's eyes widened a blush coming onto his cheeks again "I never said that" he exclaimed flailing his arms at his sides "And there is no way that YOU are capable of love!" he exclaimed, "You are a bastard who is self absorbed and only cares for himself as well as toying with me because I'm short!" he heaved, so maybe he had went a little bit overboard, but come on, what would you do if someone you had considered a rival or opponent of sorts confessed love for you out of the blue? "And I won't be a quick fix for you" he said, having misheard the question.

Roy smirked and shook his head, obviously amused "Okay, 1) You might as well have said you liked it, because your body certainly did, 2) I am capable of love, I'm human just like you are, contrary to popular belief and 3) I never said I wanted you to be a quick fix, that was a part of my question" Roy said then with a deep breath he turned from Ed and sat back at his desk. "You can go now if you want to" Roy said 'But no worries' Roy thought to himself 'you'll come back demanding answers, I know you will' Roy thought as he leaned back in his chair.

Ed gaped at Mustang for a few moments before turning on his heel and leaving the room "That jerk" he grumbled as he stormed down the hall, in a far worse mood then ever before "How dare he say that to me" he yelled still stomping through the halls "I should have kicked his ass when I had the chance!" he yelled, exiting the Office part of the HQ and headed to his residence in Central, where Al no doubt would be.

As expected Al was there and looked up when his brother entered the room cursing the Colonel's name to the 7th levels of hell "Brother! Are you okay? Did you meeting go well?" he asked innocently when he heard his brother enter there room Ed didn't answer at first, instead he slammed the front door hard, and that was never a good sign. "No it did not!" Ed yelled flailing his arms once more "It was the worst meeting in the history of that jerk wads meetings!" Al bit his lip worriedly, he's never seen his brother so hysterical from one of Mustangs meetings before "Calm down brother, it couldn't have been that bad" he said

"I will not calm down!" Ed screeched throwing a fit and starting his destructive venting session. Al sighed and shook his head; there was no way he would be able to stop his brother until he'd gotten all his pent up anger out of his system. Quietly, Al left the room and his brother to his childish behaviour and went off to find the possible source of the problem, Colonel Mustang. He stopped in front of the Colonel's door and knocked on it gently "Colonel Mustang?" he called peeking through the door.

Roy, who had been trying to focus on paperwork rather than thinking about Ed, looked up and was genuinely surprised "Alphonse? Is something wrong?" 'Idiot of course something is wrong, Ed is throwing a hissy fit no doubt!' Roy's brain scolded him. Alphonse entered the room and bowed "Ano colonel mustang sir, I was wondering what happened between you and my brother, he seems more angry then normal."

"Ah..." Was all Roy said for a moment, contemplating on exactly what to say to you younger Elric brother "I believe that he's angry at something I've said and done, but there's no need to worry, the situation will sort itself out soon enough" Roy said giving the younger Elric a friendly smile, but Al didn't buy it for a minute; he knew how Ed 'sorted things out himself' and when he did, it never turned out very well; the boy would be left confused, angry and way to depressed for Al's liking, whatever Roy had said he could tell was not going to be good. And if it would hurt his brother well he would solve this before it got to that point.

"Many excuses sir, but I want to know exactly what happened, so we can save military property and us both some grief on my brothers behalf" he would not back down. Roy blinked, knowing that Al had seen right though him avoiding the question then sighed, knowing that Al could be as stubborn as his brother. "Alright, long story short, I came onto Ed and told him I was in love with him" Mustang said, waiting for the look of horror and shock to pass across Al's face.

The younger Elric's eyes bulged and he started to stutter and blink, before he took a calming breath and sighed, he should have seen this, he was very empathetic after all, well he did know there wasn't as much hate on the colonels side as there was from Ed, but love? How could that be possible? But on the other hand, how could it not? Those two had such an intense connection weather they be yelling at each other, or most precisely Ed yelling and Roy being a cocky bastard, he was more shocked he hadn't seen it sooner. Then he bowed to the Colonel "congratulations sir, and I wish you well" he said, he was quite open minded about these things, and could easily come to terms with such seemingly impossible things.

He understood now exactly why Ed was in such a foul mood, he was confused, and when he got confused he got extremely temperamental, and who knew the blonde better then his younger brother? Alphonse knew that Ed respected and even somewhat liked the colonel, maybe not the extent that Roy might hope, but still, maybe in some weird way things would work out, at least he hoped they would. He understood now and smiled "Oh, and thank you for the kitten, I'm guessing it was in the headquarters so you two could have private time together?" The colonel flushed lightly and Al smiled "I named him Skuzz and he's very happy now" he said.

Roy nodded "I'm glad I have your blessing to go through with this, it makes me feel a little more relaxed" Roy said with a smile. "Oh, and thank Havoc for the cat, it was him who brought him inside" With a small smile and a wave of his hand he dismissed Alphonse "Oh and Al...I would appreciate it if you pretended you didn't know what was going on, if he found out that you knew, things might get more difficult than they already are"

Al turned to the dark haired alchemist and smiled "That's alright, I didn't plan on letting him know anyway, he still thinks I am really young and oblivious to the world" he gave a small laugh "Goodbye Colonel Mustang" he said and left, mostly to go clean up after his brother. It was rather late in the evening by now and the young Elric was quite tired.

-------------

The sight that greeted him however, stirred a fire of rage within Alphonse's gentle soul; Ed was currently chasing his precious new kitten around their place, threatening to kill the poor innocent creature. Ed stopped when he felt a dark presence behind him and slowly turned around, actually scared for his life.

"Brother" Al said in a dark and scary tone

"It's… It's not what it looks like Al" Ed said slowly shying away from his younger brother, his eyes wide in fear; there room, hell the whole apartment was a complete disaster area and that only served to tick the younger Elric off even more. Alphonse cracked his knuckles before promptly kicking the other Elric brother out of the already broken window (Luckily they were only on the ground floor of the building) "Don't come back tonight!" he yelled at his older brother slamming the shutters shut.

He gathered the small grey and white kitten into his arms and started petting him fondly. "Geez" Ed muttered picking himself up and heading off "It's only a mangy cat, dogs are much better anyway" he grumbled walking along the streets now, his hands in his pockets. He hated when he upset or pissed off his younger brother, when he'd been a suit of armour he had been scary, but somehow Al was even more terrifying in his human form.

And that was the first chapter, these was more originally but wouldn't accept it so I had to cut it down. Enjoy Anyway!
