Wow, this took longer to write than I thought. I am so sorry to those who read this. I do wanna know what you think of it though!

In this chapter, I wanted to have Mick finally in the hot spring for herself. Yeah, I know, but that is all I really had planned for this chapter. What happens in this chapter is what I was feeling at the moment. So, if you're currently laughing at me, then I completely understand because I am too!

It was well into the night when I woke up next. The moon in the deep navy sky was shining through my window. I sat up slowly, careful not to make any noise that would disturb my roommate's sleeping. I didn't know who it was yet, but I had a feeling that they would wake up from the slightest bit of noise out of the ordinary. I crept across the room and gently opened the door. The door opened with a slight creak and I slipped behind it, shutting it just as silently.

I sneaked away from the door, heading toward the hot spring when I was sure everyone in the house was asleep. If anything was going to make me relax, it was experiencing the hot spring alone and at night while everyone slept. When I had reached the hot spring, I quickly stripped from my clothes, feeling the cool, night air hit my once warm skin. I wrapped into a towel before stepping silently to the spring, sliding into the heated water.

I felt instant relaxation. My muscles instantly relaxing under the constant heat of the water. I tilted my head back, my eyes facing toward the moon as it shined town onto the hot spring I was in. I watched the stars and the moon, taking in the deep navy sky. The small, silver stars twinkled above me. I smiled as I looked to the moon, noticing the lighter blue around the moon as it illuminated the dark world below it.

I shifted in the hot spring, making sure I let my shoulders feel the magical, heated water of the spring. I sighed more audibly, finally feeling that sense of relaxation I'd been looking for since the Blondie incident. I could feel my brain start to slowly ease into thinking about absolutely nothing but myself in this hot spring alone, the moon, and the sky. It was no wonder that Jen, Roy, and Ed were relaxed in this and wanted me to join them. It was heaven on earth.

That was until I heard a voice speak softly behind me.

"How'd I know you'd be out here if you weren't in bed?" the voice asked from near the house.

I jumped a little, tightening the towel around my body, even though I was pretty sure I knew who it was. I turned to them. "God damn it, Ed! Can you not scare the living shit out of me?"

He chuckled as he walked to me. "Feeling better than from earlier?"

I nodded, feeling my cheeks get even more hotter. It wasn't from the hot springs. Ed was clad only a pair of his boxers, like he had woken up and noticed I was gone, and had gone to find me without giving what he was wearing a second thought.

"What the hell? Don't you ever wear clothes?"

"Yeah, I was too tired to put on pajama pants when I went to bed," he said. I could easily tell he was lying.

"Liar."

He chuckled. "Fine, fine, I nromally sleep in my boxers and my tank top. Al never seems to mind."

"That's because you're his brother. I am merely the girl you're dating."

"So? Shouldn't make a difference. It'll make you and Al equals if I am the same in what I wear to bed."

"You must be the one in my room."

"Yeah. Roy and Jen went to bed a little early."

I scoffed. "Damn bunnies."

He chuckled, grabbing a towel and slipping it around his waist before he slid his boxers off from under the towel. I felt my cheeks get hotter and my heart pound even faster. He was seriously thinking about getting in with me. I fought the urge to slide away from him when he stepped in beside me and sat down with a relaxing sigh.

"It feels so much different than in the daytime," he whispered through another relaxed sigh.

I nodded, tilting my head back again so I faced the sky, and closed my eyes. "Yeah."

Ed casually slipped his arm around me, making me lean against him. He gently kissed my head and rested his against mine. "You do feel more relaxed, Mick."

I only sighed with relaxation, rendered unable to say much else. "I am," I finally managed out after a long, almost awkward silence.

"Good, that's all we wanted," he said. Then he added soon after, "I don't care if you get out here in the middle of the night. It's just wrong that you're the one still suffering after what... happened."

"You can say the name," I said slowly, trying to convince myself as well that it was time to shape-up and move on just like I had always done since I lost my parents.

"I'm not going to, it's still too fresh. We're here to relax. Let's talk about something else other than him," Ed said with a slight smile.

"Like?"

"Where are you from?"

"Can't really remember," I said honestly with a shrug. "Since my family died when I was younger, I've lived damn near about everywhere. That's why," I sighed, thinking about it. "That's why I would lean back on the train railings like I used to until that one broke."

"That's the scariest shit I've ever witnessed."

I fought the chuckle. "I guess I did it to feel something. To feel alive in a world of contracts to the Amestrian Military and getting by on my own."

Ed stared at me. "You decide to almost kill yourself each time you do that to feel something? What the fuck? You've got to be more twisted than I am."

I shook my head. "We've all got our little twisted things about us, Ed. You're still trying to get your brother's body back while I am still wondering why I am here."

"Again, twisted as hell."

I stayed silent, he didn't get it. I mean, yeah, he's also witnessed horrors of this world that no one should know, but he still felt emotions, while I am still wondering if I can feel them at all. I shook my head when I came to the conclusion that we'll never see eye-to-eye on that small subject.

I turned my attention back to the stars, trying to think of something else to talk to Ed about. It was either that or say to hell with resisting the urge to straddle him and make-out with him like the rest of my body wanted. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach as the back of my mind screamed for it.

"Aw, fuck it," I said as I moved in the warm water and straddled him, mine and his lips locking almost instantly.

I pressed my body to him, my arms wrapping around his neck as I felt Ed's hands hesitantly press against my back and press me even closer to his body as we kissed. Instinctively, I sucked his bottom lip, hearing a wanton moan emit from him. I smirked a little, knowing that I was making him practically melt against me.

It was like Roy's closet all over again. Hands moved all over, rediscovering each other's bodies. Heat rose my body temperature, making me shudder in delight as his cool automail arm slithered around my body. I let out a small moan of pleasure.

"Hm, Ed," I uttered into his ear, feeling him shudder beneath me.

"Mick," Ed whispered into my ear as I began to kiss and nip at his neck, letting my hair swing to one side of my body, the ends teasing my arms and his left arm. "You're teasin' me."

I pulled from his neck just enough to mutter against the skin of his neck, "Good."

The morning sun shined through the open window of the room. The warm morning breeze shifted the curtains that hung in the window to blow in the direction of the breeze. I stirred my head and began to open my eyes, letting my senses slowly go to normal as I began to wake up. The first sense to come back was my sense of weight, feeling that I was on my stomach and something was over my back, and it wasn't the blanket either.

I turned my head to see another blonde head next to mine. They were still asleep, looking so peaceful where he lay. I watched him a while, taking in the fact that this was the second time I had woke up with Ed next to me. The last time was when I got out of the hospital. I turned in bed and noticed red fabric against the light blue of the blanket the bed owned. Was I wearing Ed's red coat too?

"What the fuck happened last night?" I asked in a low, almost inaudible whisper when no memory of how I acquired his red coat came into light. I pressed my hand to my forehead as if it was going to help me remember what happened.

I remembered going to the hot spring in the middle of the night. I remembered Ed joining me. I also recalled straddling his lap as we made out. I pressed my body against his, my boobs rising just enough to make Ed notice and enjoy them for a moment. I remembered staying in the hot spring for a while, just making out with him under the pale light of the moon. Then we got out, both of us were wet and slick from the hot spring, and I dropped my towel on the hot spring porch and running inside. Ed got a little excited, trying to pull me into his arms, but never getting the chance. I remembered Ed following me into our bedroom, where we resumed our make-out session-which was slowly turning into a more erotic and something more as the time passed. I somehow had my legs wrapped around his body, keeping myself up as I nipped and kissed his skin, careful about leaving hickies, even if Ed wasn't. From there, Ed dropped me onto our bed and we...

"FUCK!"

Ed jumped, hearing my voice, nearly falling off the bed. He sat up suddenly, turning to me. "What?"

I looked at him, wide-eyed. "Nothing. Just remembered something... I forgot to do at work."

"Like what?"

I shook my head, hoping Ed would get the message to drop it. But, as smart as Ed is, he can be a real idiot sometimes.

"Oh, well," he said, leaning in and giving my forehead a kiss, "would you like to go to breakfast?"

Right then, breakfast was the last thing on my mind.
