Changes


The scenery rolled by fast enough that anything you looked at disappeared from view in a couple of seconds. Not that there was really anything worthwhile to look at. After all, one field of wheat was pretty much like the next around here so instead of looking out of the window he stared at his own faint reflection in the glass.

It had been nearly three weeks since their forced vacation ended and they had left East city the very same day. And if he was honest to himself, Ed didn’t know whether their quick departure was because he wasn’t used to staying still that long or if it was because he felt the need to run away. In fact it was probably a bit of both and Al noticed it too. So far Al hadn’t questioned what had made him want to run away but Ed knew his luck wouldn’t last forever.

“Do you think it’s wise to go to the East city now, brother?” Al asked looking worried even if the metal shouldn’t really show emotions. Or maybe it was just the sound of his voice.

Ed studied his face in the reflection and had to admit that he didn’t look all that great. There was a fading bruise on his cheek in lovely yellow and brown shades. It went really well with the black circles under his eyes. The colonel would have a field day when he saw him looking like this.

The colonel…

Ed sighed and let his head fall against the cool glass surface. It was all fine and well to say that something had changed between them, but it was a whole lot different to actually think how to handle the new situation. The change from hate-hate relationship to love-hate was too sudden for his poor overworked brain.

“Is something wrong, brother?” Al asked.

“If I said that nothing’s wrong would you believe me?” Ed asked.

“Not when you’re acting like that. And from the way you’re acting I’d say that this problem of yours has something to do with the colonel.” his little brother answered.

“You know, Al? I hate it when you see right through me.”

“I know. So what’s the problem?”

Ed looked at his brother before waving his hand vaguely, “It’s nothing bad. Don’t worry about it.”

He was so not going to explain everything to Al… at least not now. He didn’t really like keeping secrets from his brother. But for now he’d keep quiet. But oh how he’d enjoy explaining all of this to Al. It’d go something like this: You see Al, I decided that I actually like the colonel and went to his office to tell him that. And then we kinda got a little further than just liking and ended up kissing in the hallway. Oh no, that’s not all! After all he did screw me on the couch in his office! So no worries, eh?

Ed groaned and hid his face in his hands. This was going to be difficult.

The train was finally slowing down while it approached the East city station and Ed was getting more and more nervous. And since this was Edward Elric the Fullmetal alchemist, he was projecting the nervousness in his own unique style i.e. by terrorizing the other passengers.

“Brother calm down. I’m sure he wasn’t thinking that you’re short,” Al said to his brother restraining him. “besides we’ll be in East city soon.”

Ed muttered something and stopped trying to attack the poor man who had just said something about beans. Then the train stopped and people started getting out.

“Al…”

“Yes brother?”

“Let’s not go there.” Ed said suddenly.

“Brother it’s a little too late to turn back now.” Al said.

“How’s that?”

“Well it seems like someone’s expecting us,” Al said pointing at the blue clad man walking towards them purposefully.

“Yo, Ed, Al.” Havoc said saluting Ed halfheartedly. “The colonel sent me to pick you up.”

“But we’d rather…” Ed started feeling his chance to escape slip away.

Havoc shook his head smiling evilly. “Sorry Fullmetal but the colonel said not to let you run away. Those were his exact words.”

“What have you done now, brother?” Al asked looking at his brother.

“Nothing! I’ve done absolutely nothing! That bastard is mocking me again!” Ed said fuming.

So Roy wanted to stop him from running away, did he? Well fine! He would tell the bastard just what he thought of him straight to his face!

The colonel Roy Mustang was sitting at his desk twirling the pen he was holding and thinking. It had been almost three weeks since he’d last seen the Fullmetal alchemist and during the two weeks of forced holiday the boy had very efficiently managed to avoid him. He would’ve thought it was cute if it wasn’t so annoying at the same time. They really needed to talk. Though now that he thought of it, maybe sending Havoc to fetch them from the station wouldn’t exactly make their conversation more pleasant.

“Colonel, you still have paperwork you need to do.” Hawkeye said sternly.

Sometimes it was hard to believe that actually he was higher ranking that her since she bossed him around more than he did her. Yet it was hard to not do as Hawkeye said. She could be one scary woman if she wanted to. That was an important thing to remember since she seemed to have taken the two Elric brothers under her wing.

“Yes, I know that. I’ll work on them now.” he said accepting the papers.

The first thing he’d do as the Fuhrer would be to get other people to do the paperwork for him. Or maybe that’d be the second thing right after the miniskirt rule. Roy spent few happy minutes imagining Ed in a miniskirt. Then the cruel reality hit him since there was probably no way to get Edward Elric to dress in a miniskirt. But still… He spent another happy moment in his personal la-la-land. The door opening and closing violently snapped him rudely out of his happy fantasy.

“Just what right do you think you have to do that to us?”

Ah, so the Fullmetal alchemist was back in the house.

“I think I can do that because you’re under my command, Fullmetal. Isn’t Alphonse with you?” he answered calmly showing the dirty thoughts away… for the moment.

“I don’t want him to hear all of the things I’m gonna say to you/” Ed said marching to the couch.

He was about to sit on the piece of furniture but stopped. Roy wondered why until he saw Ed blush furiously and sit on the opposite couch. Ah yes… so it was that, wasn’t it. As it was, Roy had gotten some very pointed looks from the cleaners although he had tried to clean the couch the best he could. That meant he’d just have to either be more careful or choose another place the next time. But for now he’d had to make sure that there would be a next time.

“And what were you planning to say to me, Fullmetal?” Roy asked raising one eyebrow and looking expectantly at the fuming boy. “I’m listening.”

“I…” Edward started but stopped then.

He seemed to search for words but…

“Damned bastard,” he muttered dejectedly.

Roy smirked and allowed himself a pat on the back. Even if their relationship had changed he still knew how to take the wind out of Fullmetal’s sails. Now the boy had calmed down, though he was still fuming silently.

“I believe I’ve heard you say that before. So are you now ready to listen what I have to say?”

Ed threw a halfhearted glare at him but nodded.

“Good. It’s always nice to see you be reasonable, Fullmetal,” he continued on not giving the boy time to protest. “You know that we have to talk about this new situation.”

“Some situation this is colonel,” Ed muttered blushing lightly.

“Yes but you have to admit that I’m not the only one at fault here, Edward. You said that I should know that it changed something, so I need to know what that something is.”

Ed didn’t look at him but instead he took off his glove and watched the metal of his automail hand reflect the lamplight.

“I don’t know what has changed. I just… It’s just a feeling. I was just thinking that if you now decided to continue dating all those women it’d make me feel a little sad. Angry too, but mostly sad. And I don’t really like that feeling,” Ed explained finally looking up with a defiant look in his eyes. “It’s not a pleasant feeling.”

Roy smiled a little, feeling more relieved than he cared to admit even to himself. And he had to agree with Edward; it really wasn’t a pleasant feeling at all. And yet… To lose that feeling would be even more unpleasant. It seemed that nothing was as simple as it first seemed when it came to the bundle of joy also known as Fullmetal alchemist.

“And I found myself missing you… just a bit… during the weeks I was away,” Ed added quietly.

And in his mind Roy had to admit that he had missed the presence of Fullmetal too. Then he remembered something. He opened a cupboard and took something from it and threw it to the boy.

“I believe I owe you.” he said smirking.

Ed opened his hand and looked at what he had caught. It was a packet of hair ties. He couldn’t stop himself from glancing at the couch and thinking how he’d lost the one he’d been using when they had… He could feel the embarrassing blush rising to his cheeks again. That stupid couch.

“So now that that’s settled why don’t we do something else?” Roy asked allowing the somewhat questionable thoughts back into his mind.

He stood up and walked to the couch where the furiously blushing boy was sitting. It had been almost five weeks since ‘the change’ had happened and he had missed the boy in more ways than Ed knew. But considering the hunger with which Ed answered his kiss he wasn’t the only one that had been missing something else too.

“As nice as it was to do it here in my office the last time I don’t think it’d be wise this time around.” Roy said when they finally separated.

“Who said we were going to do anything like that again?” Ed asked.

“Well I’d say that you aren’t exactly protesting against that idea. Or are you saying that I’m imagining this?” Roy asked smirking and let his hand fall between Ed’s legs.

Ed’s breath hitched and he turned even redder and refused to look the colonel in the eyes.

“It’s still not late enough so there are quite a few people still working here.” Roy said.

He looked out of the window and saw that it was already pretty dark. An idea formed in his head. He allowed a small smirk on his lips.

“Don’t you think that tonight is a good night for a bit of stargazing, Fullmetal?” he asked Ed who gave him a suspicious look.

“That has to be one of the cheesiest lines I’ve heard recently.” he commented dryly.

“Maybe, but you got the message didn’t you? I doubt anyone’s going on the roof this time of night and no one will hear you there,” Roy said not letting the comment get to him.

“Hear ME?! As if I’m the only one making noise during… during…” he trailed off embarrassed.

“During sex?” Roy asked feeling amused. “Fine then… No one will hear us there.”

Ed rose and stomped to the door yanking it open violently.

“Edward?” Roy asked.

“Hmph… Don’t let the stairs tire you, old man.” Ed said before closing the door behind him.


***


Despite his momentary fear of getting caught by Hawkeye, Roy managed to slip to the roof unnoticed. He found Ed was already there leaning against the railing and looking at the stars that littered the dark sky. Though he was sure that the boy heard his footsteps, he didn’t turn around.

“Took you long enough.” he muttered when he felt the warm weight of another body press against his back.

“Well unlike you I’m supposed to be working right now.” Roy said pressing his face against Ed’s hair.

“So I’m just an excuse to get out of work? That’s really low, colonel.” Ed said, though there wasn’t real heat behind the words.

Roy just laughed a little and planted a kiss on top of his head. He enjoyed it when they were like this. He even enjoyed the small arguments they had all the time, because during those arguments Edward felt so alive that there was almost electric feel in the air. He much preferred an angry Edward to a sad Edward because during that time they boy would retreat inside his walls.

“You’re thinking too much.” Ed suddenly said turning around and looking up at him.

“I agree you’re too much to fit into a single or even hundred thoughts.” Roy said and leaned down to kiss the boy again.

The kiss lead to another, and that lasted until Roy felt that if they were ever going to do anything more he’d need to get the clothes off of Ed. The red coat was easy as was the shirt under it. The tanktop caused some trouble by getting caught in the sharp edges of Ed’s artificial arm. Due to his own hurry to get Ed’s clothes off he didn’t give Ed any chances to get his clothing off.

“You’re still wearing all of your clothes.” Ed pointed out accusingly when Roy’s hands were working on his belt.

“Well we are on the roof of a military building so it would hardly be fitting of me to go around without a stitch of clothing on me.” Roy said pulling the black pants down while he did so.

“But it’s cold.” Ed complained shivering a little. “And if I’m cold you won’t enjoy this much either.”

“Then we’ll just have to share body heat,” Roy said and pulled Ed’s body close to his own. “and as for certain parts that don’t work well when they’re cold…”

His hand slipped underneath Ed’s boxers and wrapped around his length. Ed gasped and bucked against the hand.

“Well I can think of ways to keep them warm.” Roy finished smirking smugly.

“You always… have to get the ah!... last word don’t you… colonel?” Ed said between pants.

“Ah you know me so well, Fullmetal.” Roy said before kissing him again.

He pulled down the last remaining article of clothing leaving Ed naked while he was still fully clothed in his military uniform. All in all it wasn’t a bad situation for him, he thought.

“So are you still feeling cold?” he whispered against Ed’s ear while letting his unoccupied hand trail down the boys back.

“Do I feel cold to you?” Ed asked opening his eyes that had closed awhile ago.

“That you do not,” Roy answered letting out a small laugh. “but I bet that you’re even warmer inside.”

He trailed one finger along the skin of Ed’s inner thigh. Then he realized that he had nothing that he could use as a lubricant. Ed opened his eyes again and looked at him annoyed that he had stopped what he was doing.

“What now?” Ed asked impatiently.

“I don’t have any lube and I’m not going to do anything to you without it.” Roy answered.

Ed sighed and pulled away from him and searched around for his coat. For a moment Roy thought that he was going to leave but realized he was wrong when all Ed did was rummage through his pockets. He was surprised when Ed threw a small tube of something to him.

“And here I thought that I had to do all the work.” he finally said raising an eyebrow and looking at the boy who was blushing again.

“I wasn’t thinking that I’d need it for this! Don’t think stuff like that!” Ed protested.

“It doesn’t matter anyway since we are going to use it for this now,” Roy said pulling Ed close again.

He squeezed some lotion to his hand and prodded Ed to open his legs more. He slipped in one finger and watched as Ed cringed a little at the sensation.

“The first part just won’t get any better will it?” he asked half joking.

Roy didn’t bother with answering and decided to silence the boy by kissing him again. It was also a good way to distract the boy while the second finger slipped in to stretch the tight passage. By the third finger Ed was already moving against the fingers and panting slightly. Roy wasn’t having any easier time either since Ed was rubbing against him and making tiny sounds that were definitely a turn on.

“Are you thinking of getting on with it?” Ed murmured against his shoulder.

“If you ask me so nicely I must get on with it.” Roy answered.

He pulled the fingers out of Ed’s body and felt the tiny shock of cool air against them. Then he pulled his own pants down far enough that they wouldn’t hinder him from doing what he wanted to do. Roy used rest of the contents of the tube and pulled a very willing Ed to his lap. And then he waited.

“Why aren’t you doing anything?” Ed asked voice colored with impatience and need.

“You aren’t expecting me to do all the work, are you? After all you’re the one always biting me about my age.” Roy said pretending to be surprised.

Ed gave him a glare that promised some serious biting… but later. Then the boy positioned himself and started to lower himself so that he was taking Roy’s erection inside him. When he was halfway down Roy suddenly pushed his hips upwards so that Ed was forced to take in his whole length.

“Ngh! Roy you bastard!” Ed said panting.

“Hmm that’s what you always say. I was just helping you.” Roy said kissing Ed’s neck leaving a small red mark there.

“Then you might as well finish what you started.” Ed muttered rising himself a little and then pushing down again.

Roy didn’t need to be told twice. He grabbed the younger alchemist’s hips and started to move within the boy. Ed wasn’t exactly passive either as he moved against the other eagerly. It was easy to tell when Roy hit his prostrate since he let out a sound that was half gasp half moan and quickened his movement. Roy was having a hard time too, keeping his own release away. It felt better than good to thrust inside Ed’s tight body and while the air around them was cool, Ed’s body pressed against his was extremely hot.

Finally he thought he couldn’t last for long and wrapped his hand around Ed’s erection and started stroking him roughly. Ed let out another cry and tightened his inner muscles around Roy’s length inside him when he came. Roy continued to thrust into the boy until he too came.

When the world stopped being white with strange dots floating around everywhere, he pulled out of Ed and wrapped his arms around the exhausted body. They didn’t say anything for a while and just waited until their breathing slowed down. Roy started moving only when he felt Edward shiver.

“You should put your clothes on.” Roy said helping Ed up and fixing his own clothing.

“Your shirt…” Ed said smiling slightly.

Roy looked at his shirt and grimaced. He should’ve remembered that there would be this kind of mess afterwards.

“This is your mess,” Roy said trying to salvage his dignity. “you’re paying for the cleaning.”

Ed just waved his hand and smirked evilly. “Yeah yeah… but I can’t wait to see how your subordinates will react to that. You are supposed to continue working, aren’t you?” Ed asked.

Roy paled at the thought of Hawkeye seeing him like this. That’d mean that she knew that he’d skipped work again. And then she’d find out just what he’d been doing and with whom… That was one scary thought.

“I think… I’m not going to work any more tonight. You need a ride?” Roy said slowly.

“No no… We’ll walk,” Ed answered still smiling. “you owe me another hair tie.”

“That’s why I bought you a whole packet of them.” Roy said.

Ed nodded and opened the packet and used one of the ties to tie his braid. Then a stray thought entered his brain and he looked at the colonel suspiciously. The older man just smirked and turned to walk away. Ed sighed and stuffed the packet into his coat pocket.

There were 4 hair ties left.
