-1A/N: Hello people!
Ok I just want to be clear on one thing.

This is my first Fullmetal Alchemist fanfic so I will take all sorts of reviews. Those with advice most of all and if you decide to flame me I will use those flames to help make smores with my friends just so you know.

Like I said this is my first FMA story so if the characters are a bit off or I didn't get something wrong or I wasn't clear enough just tell me. And the way I see the Roy/Ed relationship is like father and son. I have absolutely nothing against yaoi lovers or writers or readers or any of the such but I just cant see them as a couple in the anime and I think the manga it is quite obviously like father and son and that's the way I like it.

Disclaimer: I have thought and thought about it and I am sure that I do that own Fullmetal Alchemist.

Third persons point of view

Edward Elric had just gotten back from another no-good-lead trip searching for the Philosophers Stone to help restore his brother's body and his right arm and left leg.

He walked down the halls of the military headquarters to his superior's office, mission report in hand.

He was stopped shortly by a familiar hand waving a picture of a little girl in a dress posing for the picture in his face (three guesses who huh? In my world Hughes never died because he was too cool to die.).

"Hey Ed your back. Look at how cute Elicia is in her new dress" said a familiar voice.

Looking over the picture Ed saw a tallish man in the standard military attire and square glasses stood Maes Hughes.

"Hey Hughes" Edward said trying to bypass around him to avoid the headaches that usually come after finishing seeing all of his photos. But to no avail as Hughes threw his arm onto his own shoulders and seemingly out of nowhere grabbed dozens upon dozens more of photographs and began to show them all to Ed.

"Uh Hughes they are wonderful and all but I've got to get this report to Mustang" he said holding up said report.

"Oh but you can spare a few minutes of your time to look at this" Hughes said not letting go of his 'hostage'.

And so Ed had to be subjected to seeing quite a few photos of Elicia for a few minutes until his patience had worn out.

"Hughes listen" began Edward before being interrupted by Hughes saying "Oh and she said that she was making me a card for tomorrow. Isn't that just the cutest thing Edward"?

"Uh very cute Hughes" Ed stammered.

"So are you going to give anything tomorrow" Hughes said finally putting down the pictures and looking at Edward.

What's tomorrow Edward thought to himself, mentally going through holidays and birthdays in his head. Nothing came up.

"What's tomorrow" he asked.

Hughes gave him an incredulous look and said "Ed you really don't know? Tomorrows Fathers Day".

Fathers Day. Of course Edward felt some of his insides freeze up and it brought a small frown on his face.

"So like I was saying what are you going to give yours" Hughes voice rang out to him once more.

"Hughes don't you remember? I don't have a dad" Ed told him.

Hughes looked down at him and said "Well not biologically but yeah you do".

"Now your just confusing me Hughes" Edward said irritated.

"Ed are you really that blind" Hughes said with disbelief in his voice.

"Hughes can you at least tell me who is it so I can prove you wrong already" Edward said losing patience rapidly.

Looking at him with a gentleness in his eyes and said in a gentle tone of voice "Ed I'm talking about Roy of course".

Ed froze up at the mention of the 'bastard' as he usually called him.

"T-t-t-the C-c-c-colonel! Roy Mustang" his voice kept getting higher with each syllable until he was screeching.

Hughes put his hands over his ears and said "Geez Ed calm down you'll bust everyone's ear drums with that screeching".

"What on earth makes you think that Mustang is like my father" Edward hissed at Hughes.

"Well it's obvious. Isn't it"?

"Hughes you have five seconds to tell me before I-" he positioned his hands in the familiar way to begin a transmutation when Hughes seeing this said real fast "Well it's obvious you look up to him".

Feeling dumbfounded he lowered his hands and said "I don't look up to him".

Seeing that he calmed down he put his arm on his shoulders again and said "Yes you do Edward, I can see it".

Shaking the taller mans arm off he said one word "Explain".

Sighing Hughes lowered himself in a chair, took his glasses off, rubbing his eyes, and putting his glasses back on said "Ed you do look up to him like he was your father. I've seen you watch the way he does certain things and then copy them like his manner of speaking or persuasion, or just plain lessons".

"Like what" Edward growled.

"Little things that I can't really name at the top of my head right now Ed" Hughes said with a sigh "But I've seen you use them like him. Heck sometimes I had to make sure you weren't really Roy" he said with a laugh.

Ed sat down in the chair next to him and sighed heavily.

Seeing this Hughes put his hand on his shoulder and said "You should at least thank him with a card".

"And what should the card say" he said sarcastically.

Grinning at the fact that he asked that he said in a gentle tone "Whatever you want it to say. You're his son" he said ruffling up Ed's hair.

Edward pushed him away and thought about what Hughes had said.

With a great sigh he got up and walked towards the exit.

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

He left the gift store with a single blank card in his hand and headed towards the dorms.

Once there he sat down at the table, put the card out in front of him and wondered.

What should he write?

'Whatever you want it to say.' Hughes had said.

He kept picking up the pen and putting it down and picking it up again before just putting down the pen with a rather loud snap.

"Brother" he heard a voice call to him from the doorway.

"Yeah Al in here" he called to his younger brother Alphonse.

A suit of armor came into where he was sitting and sat down next to him holding train tickets.

"I've got the tickets brother. We leave tomorrow 12 in the afternoon" he said holding out said tickets.

"Thanks Al" Ed said look over the tickets.

Al looked at the unfinished card and asked "What are you doing".

"Hm oh uh just some last minute things for the report I'm going to give to Mustang" he said clearing everything away.

"Weren't you going to give your report today brother" Al asked.

"Yeah I was going to but then I realized I forgot something" Ed replied holding his hand over the unfinished papers.

"Well your going to have to get up a bit earlier then normal tomorrow to give your report in then brother" Al said.

"Don't worry about it Al I'll give it in".

Ed then got up and went into the bedroom before collapsing onto the mattress.

'What the hell should I write' was the main thought gnawing at him.

Holding the card in his left hand and the pen in his right he quickly wrote something and put it down. Then feeling as though the cover was a bit too bare he drew an array that was familiar to both the himself and the Colonel.

Then with a sigh he kicked off his boots, put the card and pen on the night stand next to the bed, got more comfortable on the bed he fell asleep.

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

The office of Roy Mustang was occupied by three people that morning. Roy Mustang obviously, Maes Hughes, and one of Mustangs most trusted lieutenants Riza Hawkeye.

It was about 11:30 and Roy was trying to do his work while Hughes kept gushing on about what Elicia had done and given him for Father's Day.

"Hughes I understand that Elicia is very cute and all but Roy has to do his work" Riza said irritably.

"Oh fine" Hughes said a little put off. "Well I guess you'll have to wait for lunch to see them" he said with a smile on his face while looking at his daughter's picture.

Mustang gave an inwardly groan. Yes Maes is his best friend and almost brother but how many pictures can one person take before they snap and kill someone?

Speaking of killing someone he looked over at the clock and said "I wonder where Fullmetal is. He was supposed to give in his report yesterday".

Both Hughes and Riza shrugged while Hughes thought 'I wonder if he took my advice and got Roy something for Fathers Day'.

Then about ten minutes later they heard someone running down the hall and bursting into Roy's office, there in the middle of the office gasping for breath and leaning on his knees was Edward Elric.

"Sorry I'm late. Slept in" he gasped out trying to catch his breath.

"Are you all right Edward" asked Riza who started to walk towards him with a look of slight concern.

He waved her away and said "Yeah fine. Just a bit out of breath".

He then walked to where Mustang was sitting at his desk and held out the report "Can I go now? Our train leaves in" he cut off and looked at the clock and exclaimed "In twenty minutes".

Throwing one eye over the report he said "Fine your dismissed Fullmetal" before getting back to his work.

Ed then left the office leaving behind a whirlwind in his place.

Hughes looked out the window watching the young alchemist running alongside his brother who had evidently been waiting for him at the entrance of Central Headquarters to the train station. It was a half hour walk to the train station from here and they had less then twenty minutes to get there, hopefully.

'Guess he didn't take my advice. Oh Edward' Hughes thought before being interrupted in his thoughts by Roy's voice saying "What in the world".

Looking over he saw that Roy was holding a card with the same symbol on the front of it as was on his gloves to create fire in battle.

Roy opened the card and read the contents, once finished he had a bewildered look on his face.

Hughes reached over the took the card, opened it and read:

Dear Mustang,

Thanks for all the help and looking after us…dad.

Happy Fathers Day

From, Edward.

'Well what do you know' Hughes said to himself.

Roy took the card and read it once more, Hughes thought he even saw a flicker of a smile on his face for a moment before it went back to its usual smirk.

He put the card in his desk and pulled Edwards report once more to him to read what he had written.

'Happy Fathers Day indeed my son' Roy thought.

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

Ed leaned heavily on the seat in his and Als compartment trying to regain his breath.

'I wonder if that bastard read the card yet' he thought.

He looked out the window and allowed his mind to wonder for a moment to where they were going now to find the Philosophers Stone.

He looked over to where Al was looking out the window as well.

'Don't worry little brother I'll restore your body soon. Just you wait'.

Ok there you have it.

It took me about two days to get this story the way I like it.

Like I said before I will accept all kinds of reviews and if you flame me I will make smores.

And I am thinking of making this a series of oneshots based on Parental Roy/Ed what do you people think?

Leave it in a review what you want me to do.
