Warning: Lemony m/m action ahead!

WINRY JOINS THE FRAY

“Don’t be mad at Edo-kun,” Tenshi pleaded with Al as he blocked the armored one’s path to the door. “I’m sure he had a good reason for leaving.”

“Ed keeps thinking he’s invulnerable,” Alphonse said quietly. “He’s not.”

“He knows that. But some emergency must have come up. He wouldn’t break a promise to you unless he had to!”

The armored Elric looked down at the small boy and sighed. Tenshi couldn’t prevent him from leaving, not without using Alchemy. And the Lightning Alchemist wasn’t capable of fighting anyone until he got his auto-mail arm reattached. Tenshi looked rather pitiful standing there in the simple white hospital issued nightgown that was too big for his slight frame. He was clutching the sleeve that should be covering his missing arm to keep the gown from falling off and held his ground.

“What’s going on?” a familiar voice inquired from behind Tenshi.

The little Alchemist spun around on his small metal foot and gasped in surprise when he saw a pretty girl with long blond hair standing in the doorway. She was carrying what looked like a very full toolkit and had her sharp blue eyes on Tenshi.

“So you must be Tenshi,” she said smiling warmly at him. “I’m Winry.”

“You’re Edo-Sempai’s mechanic!” he said return in her smile.

“Yes, and where is that screw stripping pain in the ass?” she inquired sounding a combination of annoyed and mildly amused.

“He went to Central,” Tenshi said. “An emergency.”

Winry rolled her eyes. “It’s always an emergency with him.” She sighed and turned her cheerful gaze on Alphonse commenting, “Well at least YOU’RE okay!”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” he said to her sounding a little down.

She grinned impishly at the younger Elric saying, “You can kick Ed’s butt AFTER I do! After all, it’s my work he ruined being reckless!”

“He’s wasn’t reckless!” Tenshi defended. “He got hurt trying to help me.”

Winry was caught a little off-guard by the intensity of Tenshi’s statement. His lilac eyes matched the tone of his voice and she sensed something major was afoot. Ed got injured rescuing Tenshi, who probably lost the arm fighting whatever it was they were fighting. She saw the arm he was missing had been taken off cleanly as though cut by an amazingly sharp blade. Repairing Tenshi wouldn’t be too difficult but she knew she would have to get it done soon. The designer of Tenshi’s auto-mail was not someone who had combat in mind when he created the structure. The arm wouldn’t stay “alive” for much longer unless it was reattached and receiving the neural impulses that told it to move and be a part of Tenshi’s body. And since she didn’t come equipped to create a whole new arm for either of her two patients, Winry grabbed Tenshi by his good auto-mail arm and led him over to his bed.

Tenshi didn’t complain as he was made to lie on his stomach and be still while Winry did the work she was renown for. Alphonse stayed with Tenshi keeping him company and distracting him when Winry began working on the more sensitive parts of the arm. Tenshi had to be awake for the connection of nerves to auto-mail, that was the only way to determine if the metal arm was receiving signals from his brain, and he bit back tears while the painful attachment was done. Winry noticed Tenshi was a lot like Edward: he kept how much pain he was in to himself and only cried out when it became unbearable.

The procedure took several hours because the auto-mail design was unfamiliar to Winry and she had to be careful in order to do the attachment right. However, once she was done, Tenshi’s arm was as good as it was the day when he first got it. The nurse gave him a shot to ease the pain from the reattachment and Tenshi welcomed the relief. He lay on his back exhausted from a combination of the day’s efforts and the medication and absently extended his arm extending and flexing the fingers.

Tenshi smiled up at Winry, “Thanks,” he said weakly while he inspected his freshly reattached arm.

“Next time it’ll be much easier I promise,” she told him ruffling his hair. “Now that I understand how you were put together it’ll be easier to keep you up and running.”

“Hopefully I won’t need to have this done again anytime soon.”

“Well, don’t hang out with Ed then,” Winry stated. “He seems to be good at getting himself into situations that test the endurance of my auto-mail!”
Tenshi giggled as he snuggled under the covers. His eyelids were beginning to feel heavy as sleep was trying to overtake him. He was just about to drift off when he heard Winry yell, “Where the hell have you been?”

He looked up and saw Edward and Colonel Mustang enter the room. The Colonel was carrying a backpack full of books and assorted items and Edward held a large rolled up sheet of parchment.

“I had work to do,” Edward responded calmly not letting her irate tone get to him. “Besides, Tenshi needed to get his arm reattached. Without it, he’s defenseless.”

“He’s fine,” she told him. “Unlike you, Tenshi did the responsible thing and stayed here and waited for me!”

“Yes, because he needed to be repaired first!” Edward shot back. “My arm is still working. The shoulder mounting was torn loose. I can still function well enough to do what I need to do!”

Winry got in Edward’s face, which was easy since he was shorter than she was, and stated, “Those screws you stripped were drilled into your BONES, Edward. You get an infection and you won’t be able to wear auto-mail again. Without a working mounting you HAVE NO ARM!”

Edward matched her glare for a long moment before looking away defeated. He knew she was right but he also knew the repair she had to do would put him out of commission for at least a day, maybe more.

“I just have to do one more thing and then I’m done,” he said his gaze scanning everyone in the room because he felt all those eyes boring into him. His intense gold eyes met his brother’s and he stated, “I’m sorry I ran off but we’re sitting ducks right now. We need a way to keep the Divines protected until a way can be found to defeat Kenton Ares.”

“Who?” Winry asked puzzled.

“He’s the one who cut off my arm and messed up Edo’s shoulder,” Tenshi explained.

“You could have told me,” Alphonse stated sharply.

“I’m sorry Al,” Edward said meaning it. “It’s just…I couldn’t stay here any longer and wait for someone from Central to get around to bringing me what I needed to make the Array.”

“So…that’s where you’ve been all this time? At Central?”

“There and at the safe house,” Edward told him. “The Colonel and I created the Receiving Array. All of us are going to have a little get out of jail free card just like Kimbley’s! So if any of us have our back to a wall we’ll have an out.”

“That’s a lot of Port Keys to make Ed,” Alphonse told him.

“I know,” Edward agreed. “My etching kit is in the bag the Colonel has. I’ll get to work on the keys after I make the Ward.”

“No, Ed,” Alphonse interjected. “The Ward is the last thing you’re doing. You have to let Winry fix your arm. There are enough Alchemists here that you don’t have to do all the work yourself!”

“It’s called delegating, Ed,” the Colonel told him with a sly smirk.

“Figures YOU’D know that!” Edward snapped at him.

Mustang chuckled as he handed him the bag. “Go make the Ward Fullmetal. We don’t have all night.”

Edward cast a glare at him that could have melted steel before taking his bag of supplies to a corner where he could work in peace. Alphonse joined him and the brothers worked together to build the Ward.

Mustang noticed Winry was looking a little put out and suggested to her, “Why don’t you take a break? Get yourself some food.”

She sighed. “Yeah, I think I will. Just promise me one thing?”

“Name it.”

“You’ll keep Ed here even if you have to nail him to the bed.”

“Done,” he promised.

She left the room without disturbing the Elric brothers or the semi-sleeping Tenshi. Once she was gone Mustang focused his attention on the dozing Lightning Alchemist. Tenshi looked like a little doll as he lay on his back surrounded by a sea of dark wavy hair. His soft rhythmic breathing told the Colonel the boy was fast asleep.

Messy two-toned hair fell over the boy\'s forehead and cheeks. His brilliant lilac eyes were hidden beneath fragile looking eyelids and a thick curtain of lashes. Mustang reached his free hand out to brush over a sleep-flushed cheek and was rewarded with a soft sigh as Tenshi arched lightly into the touch as he slept on. Mustang allowed a rare smile to tug at his lips, gaze wandering further. Tenshi’s full pouty lips were parted, soft sighing breaths escaping his slight body.

Tenshi’s hospital gown was askew revealing clearly the soft pink of a nipple. Mustang’s hand was drawn to that lithe body, brushing over the sensitive flesh exposed by the flimsy cloth. Mustang almost missed the slight hitch in Tenshi\'s breathing as he watched the boy\'s nipple harden and peak beneath his finger.
\"Uh...” came the soft sound from the little Alchemist, his body quivering and his lashes fluttered a little.

The Colonel jerked his hand back, teeth sinking into his lip. I want to see how far I can take this…how long he lets me have my way with him as he sleeps...How he reacts to my touch... If I can at long last make this one mine. Mustang’s heart pounded fiercely in his chest as his eyes flowed over the rest of Tenshi’s body. The simple white hospital gown was open to his navel, exposing his flat muscled stomach. The Colonel drew the sheet away from Tenshi\'s waist. Plain white boxers lay low on his hips, so low that the Colonel could see a peek of the soft blonde curls that lay at the base of....

Mustang drew in a shuddering breath. Tenshi was hard. The boxers did nothing to hide the bulge between the boy\'s spread thighs. He shifted, feeling his own arousal begin to make its presence known. He decided to try a less direct approach and moved to a position that placed his face above the Lightning Alchemist’s bare stomach. Keeping his eyes on the boy\'s face, Mustang leaned in, his lips kissing the soft skin near the shallow dip of Tenshi\'s belly button. A soft sigh came from above. Mustang slipped his tongue out to trace the faint ridges of the boy’s abs.

Another slight hitch in breathing sounded in the room as Mustang swirled his tongue into Tenshi\'s bellybutton, a soft mimic of what he could be doing to other places of the slight body. Tenshi\'s skin was soft to the touch and slightly salty-sweet to Mustang\'s taste buds as he drew his tongue upward, leaving a wet trail from navel to the pert little nipple. He pulled back to send a puff of hot air over the trail.

\"Mmmm...\" Tenshi\'s hands turned into his pillow near his head, grabbing at the material.

Mustang smirked, turning his attention back to the peaks of nipples that were exposed from beneath the flimsy gown. Using his finger, he drew circles around the nub, caressing until his lover\'s sleeping body arched into the touch slightly. With the smirk still in place, Mustang repeated the action on the other nipple.

“Taisa…”

The Colonel was caught by surprise. He had heard rumors Tenshi secretly wanted him but only kept his distance because of Ed. Tenshi was the only one who knew about his affair with Fullmetal and that was because he had been in the wrong place at the right time catching the pair flagrante dilecto. If Mustang hadn’t gotten involved with that mouthy brain trust from Resembool he might have had a world of fun with the little Asian import. He had no regrets about Ed. It’s just he would have liked to have Tenshi too Tenshi didn’t like to share. THAT was a problem for Mustang, who wasn’t interested in anything involving commitment. He DID want to enjoy some mutually pleasant nights with the adorable Tenshi but he didn’t want to marry him. And it was because he wasn’t into being faithful that Tenshi made him keep his distance.

And sometimes he used shocking force to keep the Colonel at bay.

Mustang leaned forward again, closing his lips over a nipple, his tongue raking over the sensitive flesh. He nibbled lightly and Tenshi’s body gave a shudder, a loud moan passing his lips. The Colonel moved to give equal attention to the other side. His fingers danced over the flat plane of stomach, getting a gasp from above. He pulled back to study the sight before him. Tenshi was more flushed than before, breathing harshly. Two pert pink nipples one of which was poking through the fabric of the hospital gown and the other hardness, the tip of his erection peeking over the waistband of his boxers let Mustang know Tenshi was more than ready for what he was about to do next.

The Colonel bit his lip to suppress a groan as he carefully pulled down the boxers to expose the boy’s hard length. Tenshi moaned when the fabric of the boxers finally slipped down his naked body, flowing over his hard cock before being pulled free of his auto-mail legs. A quick glance up and he saw Tenshi was still sleeping. Thank god. Mustang\'s eyes were drawn to the flushed length he\'d freed and he licked his lips in anticipation. He trailed a finger over the softness of Tenshi\'s balls, heavy and swollen, and up the dripping length. Mustang swirled the digit around the head, gathering the pearly drop onto his fingertip.

\"Mmmm...\" The boy\'s hips gave a twitch, as if trying to arch into the touch.

Mustang sucked his finger into his mouth, tasting Tenshi. He gave a low moan as he watched the little Alchemist’s eyelids flutter. Tenshi was still asleep and, as Mustang skillfully took the boy’s length into his mouth, he could tell the boy was very close to release.

Now...I have to have him now!

Tenshi moaned loudly and his body shuddered as ecstasy overtook him. When Mustang withdrew his mouth the sweet taste of Tenshi was still there on his tongue and he snatched the lube from his jacket pocket. A loud moan nearly made him jump. Tenshi had tossed his head back moaning loudly. His eyes were still closed but Mustang knew it wouldn\'t be long before he woke.

He squirted the clear liquid onto his fingers before tracing the boy\'s hidden entrance.

A whimper.

He pushed gently, his index finger sliding in easily. So fucking tight! He couldn\'t stop the shiver of anticipation that slid up his spine. Tenshi was unbearably hot as he clenched around the finger with a low moan. Mustang hissed as his cock gave an interesting twitch. The Colonel allowed another finger to slid into Tenshi. This time, Mustang moaned and Tenshi gave a little cry, his eyes opening for a moment and drooping shut again.

\"Dammit...\" Mustang mumbled as he twisted and scissored his fingers to prepare for something larger before the boy woke.

Suddenly his slender lover to be arched wildly into his hand. \"Ah!\"

Mustang knew he\'d found Tenshi’s magic spot. He stroked his fingers over it once more before pulling them out. He could try to be gentle tonight...maybe...!

Tenshi eyes suddenly flew open and tried to focus on Mustang\'s face. \"Taisa...?\"

Brown eyes met lilac. Mustang leaned over his tiny lover. \"Tenshi…my little lightning bug,\" he whispered into the soft lips he brushed with his own.

Tenshi’s body still tingled with sensations he had never felt before in his life. He had never been pleasured by anyone and never knew what it felt like to experience a body-shuddering orgasm until that moment. The combination of that experience and the painkillers had him feeling like he was floating on a cloud.

\"Did you...did we…?\" He mumbled, not quite awake, and as he brought his arms up to circle the Colonel’s neck.

\"You did.\" Mustang told him as he pressed his lips firmly to Tenshi’s, smothering any sleepy protests that might escape. With a whimper Tenshi kissed back, his tongue timidly flickering over the Colonel’s lips. “And we can if you want to.”

Tenshi could feel the older man’s hardness against him and knew what he wanted to do. He couldn’t do THAT, couldn’t let the Colonel be the one to break the Seal. There were other ways two people could pleasure each other but he wasn’t sure the horny Mustang would be willing to do it in a way that would allow Tenshi to remain a technical virgin: someone who has never had sexual intercourse.

Before Tenshi could respond a strong metal hand roughly pulled Mustang off of him. The Colonel didn’t get the chance to focus on who had grabbed him because the only thing he saw was an auto-mail fist connecting with his jaw. The punch landed him on his backside and he shot an angry look up at his attacker.

It was Edward and his gold eyes were flashing fire. He was furious.

“How dare you?” Edward rounded on him icily. “Do you have ANY IDEA what he’s been through? Imagine having needles shoved into every nerve ending in your arm and then getting them twisted several times with hot irons. That is SORT OF what it’s like to get an Auto-mail limb attached!” Edward shot a look at Tenshi, who cowered under the blankets afraid he was going to be next on Edward’s hit parade, and said in a gentler tone, “Are you okay?”

Tenshi nodded still a little too startled to speak.

Edward returned his fiery gaze at Mustang growling, “This is low even for you.”

“You’re jealous,” Mustang remarked. He tasted blood. Edward’s blow had split his lip.

“Don’t flatter yourself,” Edward spat. “You leave him alone and let him heal in peace.”

The Colonel and Edward glared at each other in silence for a long moment. He could tell Edward’s actions were not motivated by jealousy but by the strong fraternal bond he had forged with Tenshi. Mustang had been taking advantage of Tenshi. He wouldn’t be able to get THAT close to the Lightning Alchemist had he been whole and healthy. He had a few electrical burn scars from past attempts at Tenshi’s virtue. However, Tenshi DID flirt with him an awful lot for someone who wasn’t interested so he knew the little Alchemist liked him but wasn’t going to make a play for him while he was involved with Edward. He had too much love and respect for Ed to do something like that to him.

Changing the subject Edward stated, “We finished the Ward. We’ll get everyone together to create it after I get my shoulder repaired. Al will kick my ass if I even LOOK at another Array before then!”

Mustang grinned. Alphonse was the only one in their group who COULD kick Edward’s ass and get away with it. And there were times when Edward needed to get some sense beaten into him. Mustang easily got to his feet and ignoring the wide-eyed look he was getting from Tenshi went to face off with Edward.

“So, you get repaired and then the safe house gets a Ward,” Mustang stated.

“That’s the plan for now,” Edward said. “Once that house is protected we can move our base there. Or, at least, the Divines can stay there and be protected.”

“While a way is being found to get rid of Ares,” Mustang told him and Edward nodded. “I know what he isn’t but I’m not exactly sure what he IS.”

“There has to be something about him the Alchemy Library Colonel,” Alphonse interjected a thought. “He’s something old. I can FEEL it.”

“Researching things is something we’re damn good at,” Edward said with a wry grin. “If it’s in that library, we’ll find it.”

“Right now the only thing you are going to find is the insides of your eyelids!” Winry told Edward as she interposed herself between the Colonel and Edward. She glared at Edward, “In bed NOW!”

Edward cringed visibly but did as he was told. When Winry was in one of her bossy moods Edward knew better than to argue with her. It would only make what already was a painful procedure hurt all the more. The only good thing about getting his shoulder fixed was that he would be asleep through the procedure because it involved drilling into bones. Affixing mountings were the only auto-mail attachment process that involved the use of anesthesia, something Edward was grateful for. He would be sore for a few days afterward but it wasn’t as bad as when he had to get his arm reattached. THAT hurt like hell and he was actually glad it was the shoulder and NOT the arm that needed fixing this time.

The Fullmetal Alchemist gave not a word of protest as he was prepped for the surgery to reattach his auto-mail shoulder….
