Lexi: Ello peoples! Ummm... just got bored and had tons of story ideas already written... so I thought, "What the hell, might as well type one up," And that is how this story was born ^.^ Its kinda of an odd one, but if people like it I will continue. And please don't get on my ass about not updating "Locked in Love." I promise I will finish it eventually, but this is why I wasn't busy working on that story.

Roy: How can you expect people to read it if you haven't told them what it is about?

Lexi: Eh... ^.^, good point

Summary: Roy is a colonel trying to make his way to the top. Edward is a suicidal teen who thinks he has nothing to live for. When Ed tries to kill himself, he fails and gets taken to a military hospital. Now he Roy's problem. Can Mustang show Ed there is something worth living for? The military is after Edward's power, Roy is supposed to help them. After he comes to know the teen, can he still go through with the plan? Or will Ed and Roy find something different altogether?

Pairings: RoyxEd, HavocxRiza, AlxWinry, not sure if I'll use all those and there may be some others too!

Ed: ooooh I wanna read it!

Lexi: Umm Ed?

Ed: Yes?

Lexi: I'm not really finished with it yet...

Roy as at his desk, ignoring his paperwork as usual. No missions to go on. No fiesty subordinates to yell at. Not even a wanted criminal to go after. Nothing.

A boring day, a bland sky, terrible weather, just his luck. Roy was pulled out of his reverie by Hawkeye yelling into the room, "Phone call from the Fuhrer, Colonel Mustang!"

Roy froze. What could the Fuhrer possibly want with him? He picked up the phone and answered, "Colonel Mustang speaking."

"Hello Colonel. I have a new assignment for you. It's a little odd, but I think you can handle it," he said.

"What is it, Fuhrer sir?" Roy asked hesitantly.

"There is a person of interest in the Cental Military Hospital," he started, "Your job is to help him."

"Help in what way?" he questioned.

"This boy needs someone to save his life."

"How exactly can I help him? What did he do to get into the hospital in the first place?"

"He tried to take his own life. His brother died and he didn't want to live anymore. You can help by convincing him that life is worth living. He won't talk to anyone, but I have a feeling that you might be able to get him to,"

"I'm supposed to help a suicidal teen?" Roy asked disbelievingly, "What does the military even have to do with him?"

"Yes, you are. The military wishes to recruit him and use his alchemic powers for its own purposes," the Fuhrer said.

"So, we're going to gain his trust then use him?" Roy faked a cruel laugh, "Sounds fun."

"I figured you would enjoy this assignment, that's why I gave it to you. All you need to do it act like you are concerned whether he lives or dies. I don't care what you have to say or do to accomplish it. Once that's done, ask him to join the military under your command. If he refuses you, threaten him or use force. We will take his power, then dispose of him,"

"Okay. What's his name?" Roy asked.

"Edward Elric," he answered.

Roy had a flashback of a boy with black hair and golden eyes. His little brother Edward. Ed died when he was 6 and Roy was 8. He hadn't protected his brother, it was his fault he was gone. For some reason, Roy felt protective of his new assignment without even meeting him yet.

"I'm counting on you Mustang," the Fuhrer said.

"Yes sir," Roy replied. The line went dead and he hung up the phone.

The colonel felt terrible everytime he got involved in something like this. But, if he wanted to climb ranks he needed to act like he didn't disagree with every single thing they did. Anytime someone outside the military got closed to being hurt, Roy would fix the situation. It had never really gotten to be something this bad.

Roy knew that he would have to find a way to stop this. But, for now he would have to make them think he would follow the plan. Just imagining having to "dispose" of some kid who tried to kill himself make Roy's stomach clench.

Mustang heard a beeping and looked towards his computer. An email telling Roy the details of his assignment was on the screen. He was to leave in 20 minutes to meet Edward.

Roy sighed. They couldn't give him a while before starting the mission? How important could some kid be to the military anyways?

He grabbed his coat and pulled his arms through the sleeves. Roy locked his door on the way out. Riza followed him silently and got into the backseat of the car. The colonel sat next her and told the driver where to go.

They walked inside and went to the front desk. "I'm looking for a Mr. Edward Elric's room?" he asked the nurse.

She looked up from her computer and blushed at the sight of the man before her. It was true, Roy was the most handsome of all the men in Central. Maybe that was why he was called a womanizer... or the fact he went on so many dates. Mustang thought this reputation would eventually either hurt him or find him someone to spend his life with.

"Oh, yes," she typed something into the computer and responded with a piece of paper she printed out and then wrote something on.

Printed, It read:

Edward Elric

Mental Ward

Room 212

Doctor Marco

Admitted for slitting wrists and attempted suicide.

On the bottom in curly handwriting and heart-dotted i's it said:

Miranda Delphinia 867-5309

Roy looked up from the paper, frowned, and said, "Thank you,"

As soon as Riza and Roy started making their way down the hall, he ripped the bottom off. He had enough women as it was. No need to add another fan club member.

"Not interested?" Riza asked jokingly. She would never be jealous, they were only friends. Though Roy had thought about getting together with her just to end the lonelyness. But they would never be anything more just good buddies.

Roy stopped at the door labeled 212. He knew they had been getting close as he heards shrieks of pain and nurses calming frantic patients at every room.

He slowly turned the handle and peeked inside. The first thing he saw was an older man with a labcoat sitting on the bed. The second was a pair of beautiful molten gold eyes belonging to the person in the bed.

Roy froze at the sight of them.

Lexi: Well, not too bad for being the product of sickness and some paper. I was ill so I thought writing might make me feel better. Turns it out it didn't, but at least a chapter came out of it. This story has actually been written for quite some time. Just never felt like putting it up! I have another story that is like 7 pages long, but I hate typing up something already wrote.

Roy: When do Ed and I finaaaaally get together?

Lexi: No whining or it might be a while!

Ed: Awwwww come on! You just got your first 100 reviews on your other story and you're still acting like a bitch?!

Lexi: I'm always a biotch!

Roy: So your highness... how many reviews till chapter two?

Lexi: Since I'm in a good mood, only 3!

Ed: Wow, you usually ask for much more!

Lexi: Exactly! You people better take advantage of this cause I mostly ask for much more than 3!

Roy: Comments? Questions? Compliments? Flames? We take em all! Just press that pretty (green?) button at the bottom!

Lexi: Talk to you in a couple reviews!

XOXO
