Shoo shoo go read the fic.


Confrontations


He’d seen this coming a long time ago. The trouble was, Roy thought to himself, that he surrounded himself with too many intelligent people. So it was no surprise to him when he was confronted about the relationship he shared with a certain young alchemist. And for all they declared their loyalty to him they were all somehow trying to protect the younger boy.

The fact that he’d do the same in this kind of situation didn’t make him feel any better.

“So what is your relationship with Ed-kun nowadays, Roy?” Hughes had offhandedly asked after going through the ritual of showing his best friend pictures of his ‘adorable’ daughter.

“I thought you could do better than that, Hughes,” Roy said dryly.

“Don’t be like that, Roy,” Hughes just said cheerfully. “Everyone’s just dying to know. First he avoids you in any way possible and you mope.”

Roy’s eyebrow twitched at the word mope.

“Don’t give me that look. I’m your best friend, right? So anyway where was I… Oh yes and the minute he gets back from yet another trip you send Havoc to get them. Then Ed goes to you office to rant to you about it and both of you disappear for the night. I mean our first reaction was to search for your remains.”

“My remains, Hughes?” Roy asked skeptically.

Hughes happily ignored him and plowed on. “But then I heard from Alphonse-kun that when his dear brother finally turned up he was distant and winced when he sat down. Of course he was worried that Ed might’ve hurt himself somewhere but Ed adamantly denied that anything was wrong. Now Al might not know what that means but I do.”

“I do have work too, do you know?” Roy said picking up his pen again.

“Aha! I knew I was right. Havoc owes me now.” Hughes said.

Roy decided that that didn’t deserve any reaction though inside his head he was happily plotting different ways to torture his staff members who were betting on his relationships.

“So is it anything serious?” Hughes suddenly asked turning serious.

“As if it’s any of your business.” Roy said pretending to work with the papers.

“Well you do know that he’s half your age… And I don’t think it’ll be good for him when you decide to move on.” Hughes pointed out.

That got Roy to raise his head.

“Who said I was planning to move on anytime soon?” he asked.

Hughes looked at him for a moment slightly surprised at the immediate answer and then he laughed. “That’s just like you, Roy. I think you two will be good for each other.”

“And just what is that supposed to mean?” Roy asked suspiciously.

He had the distinct feeling that he was being ridiculed… Damned if he knew how but still…

“Oh nothing. I’ll just leave you to your precious paperwork.” Hughes said getting up from the couch.

Roy decided against telling what had happened on the same couch though it was tempting just for the reaction he’d get.

“Oh and I spy something red, black and smalling ing this way,” he said before closing the door behind him.


***


Not long after Hughes had left his office someone knocked on the door again.

“Come on in, Fullmetal.” Roy said without bothering to even raise his eyes from the papers.

He swore there was more and more paperwork these days. For a moment he wondered if Hawkeye made up some extra just so that he would have to suffer more. He discarded that idea since Hawkeye was the type to come up with a more direct way of making him suffer. But for now he was buried in different forms and reports.

“I won’t even bo ask asking you know how it was me since I saw Hughes come out of this room a minute ago.” Ed said and sat down.

Quick glance told Roy that the boy was still avoiding the innocent looking couch. Guess that meant no further activities on that piece of unfortunate furniture.

“So why did you call me here?” Ed asked.

“Have you found any new leads?” Roy countered finally letting go of the pen and putting the papers aside.

“No. We haven’t found anything and we were thinking of going to Central city to go through that library again. No offence but East city’s library just isn’t good enough.” Ed said.

“Good since I was going to send you in that direction anyway. Here are the mission specifics. You’re to leave tomorrow.” Roy said handing some papers over to the boy.

“Can’t wait to get rid of me, colonel?” Ed asked dryly though it was easy to tell that he didn’t really mean what he said.

“Well they do say that distance makes heart grow fonder. And it’s not like I’m letting you leave without saying goodbye to you.” Roy said smirking.

“Don’t you ever thing of nothing else?” Ed asked blushing lightly despite himself.

Roy raised one eyebrow curiously. “And just what do you think I meant, Fullmetal?”

The blush turned redder from embarrassment and Ed jumped up from the couch.

“You bastard.” Ed muttered before storming out of the office.

Roy nodded feeling that he’d accomplished his task. That should make the rumors quiet down a little. Not that he really cared that much about his own reputation since even his enemies would probably consider bedding Fullmetal a good move. As it was some of the higher ups thought that Fullmetal should be brought under control and not let wonder around freely. But that was the downside of being a well-known and powerful alchemist.

Talking about leashes… Wasn’t Fullmetal the one who described his job in the military as being a ‘dog of the military’? But he didn’t want others to think that it was possible to control the boy that way so…

He had to admit that that wasn’t the only reason he was sending Ed away. When Ed had mentioned traveling to Central his suspicions had been confirmed. During the three years Ed had been a national alchemist he had spent almost all of his time traveling from one place to another and then back again. The only thing that kept him still for awhile were new books and since he and Al had pretty much scoured through the East city’s library already there was little he could do there anymore. Ed just wasn’t the type to stop and relax.

And even if he’d have liked to keep the boy close, doing so would just harm them both.

Al knew something was wrong the moment his brother opened the door. He was muttering something to himself and the only recognizable words were ‘bastard’ ‘transmute’ anolonolonel’. It didn’t take a genius to figure just who had caused Ed’s bad mood this time. It was the same person who caused most of Ed’s bad moods.

“What did he do now, brother?” Al asked.

“He’s ordering me around again.” Ed said pulling the suitcase from under the bed where he’s stuffed it when they arrived.

“But weren’t we leaving in any case?” Alphonse asked calmly.

Ed stopped his packing and sighed.

“Yeah we were… I just don’t like the way he does it that’s all,” he finally said before continuing.

Al didn’t say anything more. He knew that there was more to it than his brother was willing to admit. He wasn’t exactly sure what was going on between the two of them now but he knew that something had changed. He just hoped that it was for the better.

“I don’t want you to worry over something small like that.” Ed said as he closed the suitcase.

“Then tell me what’s going on between you two,” Al said. “and don’t lie to me and tell me it’s nothing.”

Edward froze. Al watched the red color slowly spreading to his brother’s cheeks. It all started to make sense now…

“Brother you didn’t…”

The blush got deeper.

“You did… With him?”

Still silence.

“And now he’s telling you to leave?”

“Yes.”

They were both silent for a while. Then Alphonse rose from the chair he’d been sitting on.

“I’m going to talk to him,” he said calmly.

“No nono!” Ed said unfreezing and stepping in front of the door to prevent his brother from leaving.

Alphonse just gently shoved his brother from his way and walked out of the room.

“Al! Stop! I said it’s okay!” Ed shouted running after his brother. “It’s okay.”

“Maybe it is but I still want to talk to him. You might as well accept that.” Al said still completely calm.

Ed sighed and let go of Al’s arm. He knew he couldn’t do anything to stop his brother from doing what he wanted. And since Alphonse hadn’t reacted too badly to the news he thought that Roy had pretty good chances of surviving the interrogation.

“I’ll finish the preparations then.” he said defeated.


***


When he heard the knocking Roy felt like banging his head repeatedly against the table. First it had been Hughes and then Hawkeye and now it seemed like he’d be forced to defend himself against one overprotective little brother. Hawkeye hadn’t actually said anything but while she was with him he got the strange feeling that he should be explaining it all to her.

“Come in Alphonse,” he said tiredly.

The huge armor moved in and closed the door carefully. For a fleeting moment Roy actually felt sorry for the poor abused door before shoving the ridiculous thought from his head.

“I believe you want to talk about your brother.” he said.

“Yes,” Alphonse said. “but I only have one question.”

“And what is that?” Roy asked tiredly.

“Do you love him?”

The instant he heard the question Roy knew that even a second of hesitation would be disastrous. It was a simple question, but one that would mean he either had Alphonse’s acceptanc tha that he’d have to fight for it all the way. So that left complete honesty as the only option.


***


Ed paced the small room nervously. He was fairly sure that everything was okay and all but… When he finally heard the clanking footsteps walking towards their room he yanked the door open and looked at his little brother.

“What did you talk about?” he asked.

Alphonse didn’t say anything but Ed got the impression that if he had expressions this one would be calculating.

“We didn’t really talk all that much. I just wanted to ask him something. I was satisfied with the answer,” Al answered walking past his brother into the room. “he also said that he still wanted to talk to you.”

Ed was left standing in the hallway trying to take in all what Al had said.

“Don’t be out too late.” Al said before closing the door effectively preventing Ed from going back into the room.

“Guess I’ll have to see the bastard one more time then.” Ed sighed and started walking.

In truth he wasn’t all that reluctant to go see Roy before leaving tomorrow. It was true that he had been thinking of leaving soon anyway but the immediate dismissal had still stung a bit. Now that he’d had time to think about it he thought that Roy probably had some reason for doing it.


***


Ed didn’t have the time to knock when the door opened and he was yanked inside. The door closed just as quickly and he was pressed against it trapped by Roy who was looming over him.

“Just what are you…” Ed started to protest.

He was silenced by a rather forceful kiss.

“Wha-?”

“Do you know what I’ve been through today because I got involved with you?” Roy asked practically growling.

Ed shook his head speechlessly.

“I just found out today that not only does Hughes know what we’ve been up to but the whole office had a betting pool going on.” Roy started explaining at the same time snapping open the clip that held Ed’s shirt closed.

Ed was still too stunned at the colonel’s unusual outburst that he did nothing when the jacket was slipped off his shoulders.

“I took care of that by threatening to fry anyone who still spread that rumor to a crisp. That of course confirmed all of their suspicions and I’ll have to say you’d be amazed at the sums that changed hands then.” Roy continued with his explanation.

The next article of clothing to be cast aside was Ed’s black tank top.

“W-wait a little!” Ed tried to protest when the hands fell to his belt.

Roy ignored his feeble protests completely and yanked the pants down.

“And as if that wasn’t enough the next person to confront me is your dear little brother. And believe me he is by far the nastier of you two even if he’s got his sweet harmless little boy act up pretty well. He practically forced me to tell something to him that I haven’t even told you.” Roy said pausing to steal another kiss from the surprised boy.

“He… asked me… whether I loved you…” the sentence was broken by the kisses Roy planted on Ed neck and shoulders.

Ed was already having trouble breathing and he wasn’t sure if his hand on Roy’s shoulder was trying to push the man away or draw him near. He lost the ability to think when Roy’s hand slipped inside the only article of clothing he was still wearing –his boxers.

“So considering all that trouble I think you owe me one answer, Fullmetal,” the colonel said continuing to stroke Ed inside the boxers. “do you love me?”

“Ah I…” Ed managed before throwing his head back and letting out a small moan.

“That didn’t answer my question, Fullmetal.” Roy said and pulled down the boxers leaving Ed completely naked and stiinneinned against the door. “Do you love me?”

“Maybe I’d be able to answer… if you stopped… doing that.” Ed growled out.

“But since I don’t feel like stopping I guess I’ll have to wait until you can tell it to me afterwards.” Roy said.

He stepped back just enough so that he was able to get off his blue military uniform coat and the gloves he always wore. He took a tube of something out of his pants pocket and grinned smugly.

“This time I come prepared.” he just said before opening the tube and spreading some of the slick stuff on his fingers.

“What!? You’re not thinking of.. of doing that! Here? Now? Against the door?” Ed shrieked getting a panicky look in his eyes.

“Yes, Fullmetal.” Roy just said and forced the boy’s legs apart with his knee.

“You can’t!” Ed said trying to push him away or at least escape.

Roy just smirked and kissed him again forcing Ed to open his mouth and take his tongue in. At the same time he slipped one finger inside the boy’s opening.

“You stupid…. idio-ah!” Ed growled after he got his mouth free again but was interrupted when another finger joined the first.

“I don’t want to stop, Fullmetal, and neither do you want me to stop.” Roy whispered licking Ed’s ear before biting lightly his neck.

Ed felt the third finger slip inside him and felt the need to protest die away while his tight opening was prepared in a hurry. He decided that since he didn’t have any say in this, he might as well try to enjoy it. But later he’d let the colonel hear just what he thought of his current actions. Later…

He didn’t protest when the fingers left his body since he knew that something bigger was on it’s way anyway. In fact he’d felt that something bigger whenever Roy bumped against him. He watched as the colonel hurriedly unzipped his own pants and pushed them down to reveal that yes it was bigger than three fis. Ss. Some more lube was added and then Ed felt the touch of Roy’s erection against his rear.

“You do like this, don’t you?” Roy asked before thrusting suddenly all the way in.

Ed let out a loud cry as he was forcefully spread even more open. He felt a few tears run down his face. When he opened his eyes again he noticed that he’d lifted his feet and wrapped them around Roy’s waist. That mean he was only supported by the door and Roy’s weight pinning him against it. There was absolutely nothing he could do.

“You look lovely like this, Edward.” Roy whispered pressing a gentle kiss against the boy’s lips.

One of his hands was tangled in Ed’s hair, and Ed had the distant feeling that he’d never see that hair tie again. Good thing he still had three left. All trivial thoughts fled his mind when Roy suddenly pulled back and then pushed in hard. Ed threw his head back and felt it hit the door but he didn’t particularly care.

“I said you’d like that.” Roy said smirking.

“Just shut up and get on with it will you.” Ed muttered, face red with embarrassment.

“While I don’t usually take orders from my subordinates, I guess this time I’ll oblige.”

Ed was vaguely aware that he got louder and louder with every thrust, but he was too far gone to worry about it. For now, all of his senses were concentrated on the length inside him. Roy set a fast speed and it was rougher than their earlier bouts of sex. Not that Ed minded it, even as he was repeatedly pushed hard against the door. And Roy seemed to have a knack of hitting that sweet spot inside him that made him scream louder.

“I…I…you,” Ed tried to say.

Hazy golden eyes tried to focus on Roy’s face but all he could see was that the other man had closed his eyes. Ed felt the familiar tightening in his stomach area and knew he’d come soon, and it felt like Roy wouldn’t last for long either. Since it didn’t seem like Roy was thinking of doing anything else than thrusting into him, Ed reached down and wrapped his human hand around his own erection. He was a bit startled when Roy’s hand closed over his and he saw two black eyes looking at him.

“…love you.” Ed whispered before his orgasm hit him.

He saw Roy shudder as his inner muscles spazmed around his length. Then he saw Roy’s expression turn to bliss.

They were both sitting on the floor leaning against the door. Roy had managed to fix his clothing again but Ed was too tired to even try to stand up.

“I’ll never be able to walk back!” Ed moaned hiding his face.

“I’ll give you a ride.” Roy said sounding slightly apologetic.

“It’s only fair since it’s your fault I can’t walk.” Ed said glaring.

“Well it wasn’t like you didn’t enjoy it.” Roy just said shrugging.

Ed didn’t bother to say anything to that since he had enjoyed it. There was no use in lying about it. Finally Roy got up and started to collect Ed’s clothes that had been more or less thrown around haphazardly. He helped the boy to dress despite his protests. Then he put on his jacked to cover the state of his shirt.

When they stepped out of the room they noticed that the office was deserted and all that remained of Roy’s staff was a note on one of the tables.

“It seems Hawkeye dismissed them for the night and had to go see a doctor about a nosebleed.” Roy said after reading the note.

Ed paled and felt like digging a hole and vanishing in it. That meant that they’d heard everything kne knew that his face had to be at least as red as his coat.

“Oh well…” Roy just said before throwing the note away.

Then he looked at Ed and smirked smugly. “How was that for a good bye?”

“Hmph baka,” Ed said. “see if you get any after I come back from that stupid mission.”

Roy just laughed and leaned in for a gentle kiss. Then he whispered something to Ed.

“Hmph… you’re an idiot,” Ed just said blushing. “but just so you’ll know… I do too.”

And that was it.
