(9-22-08) Thanks for the 10,000 hits! XD

I just started typing and this is what came out. This is crappy work compared to my other stories. The beginning is "jumpy" as I just ran through the days, but it gets better towards the end. Before you read there are some things you should know.
-Set in 21-century, modern, high school
-Alphonse is dead (explained later on)
-Alchemy died out years ago (explained later on)
-Roy's 18, Ed and Winry are 16
-This is still set in Amestris though

I think that's about it! Oh and the rating will most likely change to M for later chapter, I haven't decided yet. So please read and review! No flames though. Thank you!!

The sun was high in the sky and radiated a comforting warmth. It was the beginning of April, and spring was right around the corner. People couldn't wait for that, because after spring came summer and summer meant freedom to every student. Some of the kids were already starting to countdown; some of them had it down to a science being able to tell you how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds were left until the final bell of the final day of school. But summer was still a long ways off. Classes were going on, the hallways were still full of students, lessons were being taught, and tests were still being handed out. Everyday there was that one hour slot during school that was like a mini-summer, and everyday during the one hour lunch, the same girl would gaze with wanting eyes at the same boy across the yard.

Another sigh.

"What's wrong with you?" the boy asked his friend as he joined her on a bench. She was staring out at something, more like someone, across the courtyard.

"I want him!" Winry exclaimed and held out her arms toward the boy she'd been staring at, but he never noticed her. Roy Mustang never noticed anyone who wouldn't put out or wasn't in his group.

Ed started laughing.

"What's so funny!?"

"Roy Mustang? Seriously? That's your new obsession this month?" Ed asked.

Every month Winry would pick one guy to dream about, and if by the end of that month she hadn't established any kind of relationship with him, then she'd pick a new one. This month it happened to be Roy Mustang, a senior; Ed and Winry were only sophomores.

"Well, why not? He's popular, he's smart, he's dreamy, and he's got a body that's been carved by angels! I don't see why I can't have him," Winry said and she let out another sigh. "I'd give anything just for one date with him...Hey, where are you going?" she asked when she noticed that Ed was walking away.

"To get you your date," he called out from over his shoulder.

"Oh, no...please don't screw this up..." she muttered, but Ed had already made it across the courtyard.

"-that dumb bit...Well, what do we have here?" Roy said and turned his attention to the small blond that had entered his domain.

"Roy, I'd like to talk with you about something," Ed said.

"What was that? I can't hear you down there," Roy mocked, placing his hand around his ear and slightly leaning downward. His group of followers laughed. Roy was the leader in the group. He'd say jump and they'd all ask how high.

Ed bit his lip to stop the outburst of obscenities that threatened to come forth. He hated when people made comments on his short stature.

"Please, I'd like to talk with you," Ed repeated.

"Fine, fine," Roy said and they walked out of the group.

Ed would have said what he wanted to say with the group there, but he was a little embarrassed at what he was doing.

"You see her?" Ed asked and pointed across the courtyard at Winry and Roy nodded.

"Yeah, what about her?"

"Just one date is all I'm asking," Ed said and prepared himself to have to beg.

"Alright."

"You'll do it? Wow, that was easier than I thought..." Ed watched a smirk form on Roy's lips, "...wait a minute, what's the catch?"

"I'll go on a date with her if you become my slave for a week," Roy replied smirking still and folded his arms across his chest.

Ed thought about it and as he looked over at Winry, he sighed. "Fine, but don't try anything funny with Winry."

"Okay, I'll try my best. So we have a deal?" Roy asked and stuck out his hand; Ed just looked at the hand.

"Deal," he said. Roy took his unshaken hand back to himself and buried it deep in his pocket.

"Tell Winry I'll pick her up at 8 on Friday, and you are to come home with me Monday after school," Roy said.

Ed nodded his understanding, and each student went back to their respective places on the courtyard.

'This'll be interesting,' Roy thought as he joined his group and looked back at Ed watching the other blonde, Winry, hug him tightly.

The remainder of that day went by as normal except that Roy couldn't stop thinking of the small blond teenager. He was making a long mental list of questions he wanted to ask him. Ed came to this school as a mystery in December, five months ago. No one knew where he had come from or what his story was, he never spoke to anyone other than Winry and for that he was marked as a "freak" to the others, but that wasn't all to it. No matter how hot it was that day he'd always be wearing long sleeves and gloves, and he always had a Flamel cross somewhere on his clothing. Alchemy wasn't practiced anywhere near here, some people didn't even believe it existed or thought it was a sin to practice. There were so many rumours revolving around Edward Elric, and Roy really wanted to know which were true and which weren't.

Wednesday ended and Thursday began.

Thursday seemed to go by entirely too quickly. Friday came.

Like with all of his classes, Ed slept. He was far from a studious person when it came to these subjects. Algebra. Biology. English. History. These classes were all so boring to him and the information being taught seemed to be so menial compared to what he'd learned in the past before coming to this school. Alchemy. Alchemy was the only subject that mattered to him, but sadly, they didn't teach that here. Alchemy was hardly taught anywhere. He learned alchemy on his own, but he had to keep that a secret because there was no telling what people would do to him if they found out. He recalled reading an article in the paper a year back about someone getting beaten near death for studying alchemy. He didn't want that happening, so he kept it a secret, but he still always wore the cross of the alchemist on him. They couldn't do anything to him for that. The only person who knew all about him was Winry and that was because he lived with her under the care of her grandmother, Pinako.

The day whizzed by and next thing he knew he was back home and watching Winry pacing back and forth on the porch waiting for Roy to show up for their date.

"Would you calm down!? You're making me nervous! He'll be here," Ed said standing propped up against the wall.

"He's here! How do I look?" Winry asked as a convertible blue Ford Mustang (how ironic that it was driven by Roy Mustang) started to pull down the drive way.

"You look fine, now go already!"

Winry hugged him tightly and walked down the steps. Roy waved to him with a wink as Winry got into his car and they drove off.

'If he does anything to her, I swear I will kill him,' Ed swore to himself, gold eyes flashing in the dark. He thought of Winry like a sister. He needed someone to protect since Alphonse...He shook off the upcoming thought.

He sat on the porch swing and listened to his MP3 player while he waited for them to come back. He gently swung back and forth on the swing and hummed the guitar melody that was playing in his ears.

Three and a half hours later, the same car pulled down the driveway, it's headlights shining on the porch. Ed watched as the two teenagers inside leaned towards each other and kissed before Winry got out. Roy pulled out of the driveway and Winry slowly walked up the steps.

"You waited up?" she asked.

"Yep, nothing better to do on a Friday night," Ed replied hitting the stop button on his MP3 player.

They walked into the house and Winry told him all about it. They went out to dinner and then to the movies and then got ice cream and then Roy parked the car on a popular cliff that overlooked the city, but she insisted that nothing happened there and that they only talked, then he brought her home.

The weekend went by and Ed thought his ears were going to fall off; every other word out of Winry's mouth involved Roy and their date Friday night and how much fun they had. He was about ready to scream from the Roy overload!

Monday came and now it was time for Ed to fulfill his part of the deal. Instead of his normal sleeping through class that day, he wondered what Roy would ask of him. He actually had a dreadful feeling that Roy was going to demand things out of him, things that made him blush when he thought about it; Roy just seemed the kind of person to do something like that and plus Ed had heard numerous stories about Roy's actions with girls from Winry, but Ed wasn't a girl and Roy didn't like boys as far as he could tell...well, he hoped that was the case. He'd just have to wait and see, but if the situation came up, did Ed have a right to stop him? The deal was a date for one week of being Roy's personal slave, Ed never specified what could and couldn't be done, so that left open any action. Roy could do anything to him for this week and there weren't any parents around to stop him; Roy lived by himself in his own apartment.

'What the hell have I gotten myself into!?' Ed asked himself for the hundredth time that day.

The last bell of the day rang through the school and students poured out of every classroom and out of the building. Ed walked with Winry to the student parking lot and explained to her that he was going to Roy's to help him with his chemistry project; he didn't want Winry knowing why he was actually going to Roy's, but she seemed to buy his explanation as she shrugged and left.

Roy was sitting behind the steering wheel of his topless Mustang waiting for Ed. Ed opened the passenger side and got in.

"You ready?" Roy asked looking at him.

"Yes," Ed said softly. He shifted uncomfortably because he could feel Roy's black eyes starring at him, examining him. Finally, he started his car and they drove away.

Ed never realized how close Roy lived to him; he could see his house down the road. Roy fiddled with his keys until he found the right one, placed it into the keyhole, turned it, and was rewarded with a click. He opened the door and they walked inside.

"First order, I want you to do the dishes. It's just me here, so there aren't a lot of them," Roy said as he shut the front door and then led Ed to the kitchen. Roy sat down at the table and dug through his backpack until he found what he wanted. He motioned for Ed to get busy as he started doing his calculus assignment.

Roy watched as Ed removed his jacket for the first time and laid it on the back of a chair. Underneath the zipped jacket there was a long-sleeved black button-up shirt; Ed was still wearing black gloves though.

Sighing, Ed ran some hot water and starting scrubbing the dirty plates and glasses with a soapy sponge. He rinsed them well and dried them, then set them aside. Once finished he frowned when he realized that his gloves were wet. He looked behind him and saw that Roy was concentrating hard on his assignment and wasn't paying any attention to Ed. With that knowledge, Ed took off his wet gloves and reached into his pocket to pull out his other pair which were white and dry. When he was done, he turned to Roy.

"Finished. What now?" Ed asked. Roy looked up at him from his work and it looked as if he was thinking of what to tell Ed to do.

"Just go around the apartment and straighten up," Roy said and Ed left the kitchen to go into the living room where he started placing misplaced items where he assumed they went. After that, he went down the hall and through the first door which appeared to be Roy's room.

He walked over to the bed and started making it, that was all the needed to be done in there. He turned around to walk out of the room and gasped in shock when he saw Roy standing there.

"Don't do that! You scared me!" Ed yelled.

Roy laughed and walked closer to him. Every step forward he took, Ed took one step back. Roy's eyes flashed with something that Ed wanted nothing to do with. Ed ran out of steps to take as he ran into the bed and fell on it. He looked up at Roy.

"Shit!" Ed yelped as Roy grabbed him and pushed him on his back. Ed struggled as Roy's hands started unbuttoning his black shirt. As much as Ed tried to push Roy off of him, it was of no use.

Roy gasped when he got the shirt unbuttoned and discarded. Metal.

"It's true. Your arm is automail," Roy said and ran his hand over the cold steel.

"You could've just asked and I would've told you!" the blond seethed.

Roy smiled and remembered the other half of the automail rumour.

"Yeah, but this is just so much funner," he said as he pushed his hand down Ed's pants before he could react. Ed jerked as he felt Roy's fingers wrap around his length.

Ed couldn't move. He was deep in shock and surprise and fear.

"Well, that's not metal," Roy muttered. He dug his leg into Ed's and smiled, "but that sure is."

Roy didn't let go of him as he leaned forward and with his free hand wrapped his fingers around Ed's slender neck. Under his fingers, Roy felt Ed's pulse double; he also noticed that his breathing was now ragged. He wanted to take it one more step further to get the most out of Ed's reaction. He removed his hand out of Ed's pants and brought it up to play with Ed's right nipple. He leaned forward and closed his eyes as he ran his tongue over Ed's lower lip causing the small teenager to struggle wildly. Roy smiled as he slightly tightened his grip around Ed's neck which ceased the struggle. He then placed his lips on Ed's. After a few seconds, his lips left Ed's and he starting kissing the side of his neck that his hand wasn't covering.

'Not again! No! Please! Not again! Don't let this happen to me again!' Ed thought in panic.

He felt Roy starting to rock his groin against Ed's lower region moaning as he did.

"No!" Ed cried out as he gathered his strength and pushed Roy off of him. "No, no, no, no, no,..." Ed repeated the simple word over and over as he sank to the ground hunched over with his bare back to Roy.

Roy knew he had gone too far. He left his bed and walked over to the shaking body, but froze when he saw Ed's back. Ed's back was covered with scars. He'd been beaten badly before.

"...no, no, no, no, no, no, no,..." Ed was still repeated the word as Roy went down to his knees to meet the blond.

"E-Ed," Roy said, that was the only thing he thought he could say. He hesitantly placed a hand on Ed's back and Ed's head shot up to glare at Roy.

"Ed, I'm sorry. I-"

"Shut up!" Ed yelled and made an attempt to run out of the room, but Roy was quick and grabbed Ed's arm.

"No, don't leave. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done what I did. But I can't let you leave like this. You might get hurt if you leave here this upset," Roy said and stood to walk in front of the teary-eyed blond. "Please, just stay until you've calmed down."

Ed nodded as Roy walked back over to the bed to grab Ed's shirt; he handed it to him and Ed snatched it out of his hands.

After Ed got his shirt back on, they went into the kitchen. Roy made Ed sit down at the table as he put some tea to brew. Ed sat with his head bowed and mind buzzing. Roy placed a mug of hot green tea in front of him and sat across from him.

"Ed, I..."

"How far?"

"What?"

"If I hadn't stopped you, how far would you've gone!?" Ed yelled. His gold eyes dangerously glared into Roy's contrasting onyx orbs.

"Ed...At first, I just wanted to scare you...But once it had started I couldn't stop...To be honest, if you hadn't stopped me, then I probably would have done something terrible and unforgivable to you..." Roy said slowly.

"Just wanted to scare me? How could you!? I've spent years getting rid of those demons and now you've brought them back," Ed said.

"W-what are you talking about?"

"I...Forget it, I'm going home," Ed said and stood up to leave. He mentally cursed himself for mentioning "his demons". Roy would never understand his past.

Roy didn't stop him when he heard the front door slam shut; Ed's jacket still laid on the back of the chair.

'Great going, Roy. You sure screwed up this time,' Roy thought.

So thanks for reading and please review! I know the beginning was kind of hectic, but it'll get better as the chapters go on!
