DISCOVERY

Mustang’s quarters weren’t as plush as Edward thought they would be, but they were definitely a step up from the enlisted dorms. On the right side of the room was a large fireplace with two high backed chairs and a throw rug in front that looked well-worn in. On the left side a queen sized four poster bed that looked more inviting than any bed should. He assumed the door at the far end of the room led to a private bathroom. “Please, have a seat.” Roy motioned to the high backed chairs in front of the fireplace, which crackled away softly. Sliding into the soft cushions with a sigh he stared into the embers, lost in the popping sounds that surrounded him. He had forgotten where he was until a new glass of dark liquid was presented to him. “It’s good.” Roy assured him as he took the chair opposite and like Ed had, got lost in the fire.

They quietly sat staring this way for what felt like an eternity when Ed’s eyes began to droop. He cleared his throat loudly and tapped the file of papers on his chain mail leg. “So, Tucker left some research behind?” He queried. Roy continued to stare into the fire as he spoke. “Apparently he had several apprentices that no one knew about. They all seem very dedicated to his cause; my men have captured the four of them and we are holding them for questioning.” He sipped the drink and continued. “Apparently Tucker gave them the means for human transmutation- all of them had tubs full of bodies when we raided.” Ed’s fingers tightened around his glass. “Was it Nina?” He asked through clenched teeth. Roy nodded still not looking up, he didn’t want to break again.

They fell into silence as Ed picked through the papers, making little snorts of disgust here and there. He wasn’t sure how much time had passed when he finally shook his head softly and glanced over to Mustang, who had once again drifted off, this time he seemed more peaceful. Ed yawned long and loud and when the Fuhrer did not wake he stood from the chair and walked over the end of the bed where a blanket had been folded. He picked it and shook it out while crossing back; he placed it over Roy and tucked it in around his shoulders.

Ed stared at the older man’s face, the light playing across his features. He looked so tired and war worn. Touching the man’s face he smiled, for now he could sleep. They both knew they had barely scratched the surface on their issues but it was enough to allow a few hours of sleep. Hell knows they both needed and deserved it. Ed went back to his chair and curled up; resting his head on his arms and like Mustang he too drifted off to the sound of the crackling fire.

Roy was the first to stir many hours later, he was rewarded with the view of Ed who at some stage must have left the chair and curled up on the floor at the fire. He stretched out lazily and noticed the blanket draped around him. Something deep inside his chest ached at the thought of the blonde looking after him. He watched the younger man sleep soundly for a moment as he folded the blanket and placed it back on the bed. A quick glance out the window told him they had been sleeping for a lot longer than he probably should have allowed but he could not bring himself to wake Ed; the look on his face far too peaceful. Instead he lowered himself down to the floor next to him and took in his features.

The long thick blonde hair pulled into the familiar housing of its braid, that glowed golden with the help of fire light; the lean muscles that hid themselves behind the tight black shirt that Ed always wore- he brought his hand up to tentatively touch the metal of Ed’s chain mail arm. So many sacrifices made to get Alphonse back to normal and still Edward wore the price. It was cold to touch, almost bitingly so, but Roy traced the limb from shoulder to fingertip- It was truly a work of art. He knew he was attracted to Edward; he had been for quite some time. How could you not when you saw the mans’ physique and knew his nature. Roy had never acted out on the urge purely because it was still taboo in the service for men to fool around with men. He knew that his command was aware of the multitude of lovers that had taken his bed at one time or another- both male and female. They said nothing and he appreciated it, Roy sought comfort where he could find it.

The body next to him stirred slightly and Roy watched as Ed’s mouth gaped in a wide yawn. “Mmmm…” Ed moaned happily as he stretched out luxuriously along the floor, stretching the taut muscles tighter. The young man scrubbed the sleep from his eyes as he reorientated himself with his surroundings. “Well Full Metal. Who would have thought we’d end up sleeping together?” Ed jumped about foot as Roy’s voice pierced the air.

“How long was I out for?” He asked sleepily, trying to glance out a window or find a clock. Roy shrugged a shoulder and helped him to his feet. “It’s dark out, so I would assume we have missed the mess dinner.” As if hearing the words, Ed’s stomach growled menacingly, the man chuckled and rubbed the area. “Well that sucks, I haven’t eaten since breakfast!” Roy walked to his closet and rummaged around, pulling out some clothes before turning to Ed. “Wait here.” He ordered, walking into the room that Ed still assumed was the bathroom.

He walked the confines of the quarters as he waited for Mustang to finish and join him. There were no pictures of family or friends. No cards, no personal mail. Ed frowned and looked around the room; for all intents and purposes this could have been a hospital room and no one would have known the difference. He spun round when he heard the door open again and Mustang reappeared wearing a long sleeved, black turtle neck sweater, dark denim jeans and black boots with metal buckles on the side. Ed raised his eyebrow in amusement and almost laughed when the man blushed. “I own more clothes than my uniform Elric. Unfortunately everything I own would be too long for you so…” He trailed off and laughed as Edward finally cracked and started shouting about how he was not ‘A tiny insignificant pipsqueak who shopped in the kids department!’

“Are you hungry or not?” Roy asked walking passed him and into the office, picking up a set of keys. Ed followed grumbling about how unfair life was and how he had grown several inches in the past few years.

They walked in silence, Ed following a step behind as he had no clue as to where they were going. The wind, what little there was of it, hotly oozed passed them. “So are you buying me dinner?” Ed asked cheekily. “No Full Metal.” Came the clipped response. It deflated Ed quickly, he began to pout and kick at the rocks on the path. “Going to starve to death if I don’t eat something soon.” He grumbled. Roy shook his head and turned the corner, leading Ed down a short street with only three town houses on it. They almost looked like gingerbread houses with their boards and white trimmings, all gated in with a white picket fence. Ed gaped at the one in the middle when he saw that Mustang had unlatched the gate and was checking the mail box. “YOU LIVE HERE?” He almost squealed, but managed to get it down to a strangled cry. Roy looked up from his hand full of letters and turn from the street to look up at his house. “Yes Edward, I live here.” As if nothing more need saying. He walked the path to the door, unlocked it and went inside, not waiting for the still stunned Ed to follow. Blinking several times to prove to himself he wasn’t dreaming he trotted quickly to catch up. Tonight, Ed thought to himself as he shut the gate, is going to be interesting.
