The muse and I wanted to post this as soon as possible. He wanted me to write this at 4am last night right after I posted the other chapter but I told him I needed to sleep. So we waited till 3am today instead hehe He wants to get to the smut, but then so do I ;D

Blysse: So glad you liked it and so sorry for the losing control thing XD Another quick update for you, I think this was faster than the last one.

I've only read it through once so I apologise for any errors...

Chapter 6

The grand Finale…

Roy walked out of the bathroom with a very content smile on his face. He had really needed that, of course he would have preferred a certain someone had taken care of it rather than his overused right hand but still… It was done now and he could finally walk without looking like he was in pain. He headed straight back into the crush of bodies expecting to see Ed stood at the front already singing his second song but there was no sign of him yet.

Wondering where he was and if he had somehow managed to escape the clutches of the harpy that he called a friend, he began his search. He headed for the bar but when he saw Al downing four shots in succession decided that Ed must be elsewhere, plus he really didn’t think he could deal with another Al conversation right now. He saw Riza standing near the hallway and decided to ask if she had seen the younger alchemist.

His feet faltered in their step when he saw young Miss Rockbell approaching his first lieutenant. She leaned over and whispered something in Riza’s ear that had her smiling rather sadistically and then continued on towards the mic.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Edward will be out shortly, I’m sorry for the delay.” Roy watched as she placed the mic down and turned back the way she had come. Obviously she was the reason that Ed had been singing in the first place and the reason he would be singing again but just what were her and the other women up to? They were acting like a women’s group and he just didn’t like it. When women started cooperating with each other it usually meant that some man, usually him, was in severe trouble.

He continued to watch as she left the room but then his eyes were drawn away when Riza left her perch and walked towards Havoc. He was laughing away with a few of the lower ranked female officers and paid no attention to Riza until she was stood directly in his field of vision. Hawkeye sat herself down next to Havoc when he had made her some room and then she proceeded to whisper something in his ear.

Roy edged closer as he saw Havoc respond in the affirmative with a quick nod of his head. Riza seemed satisfied with his answer and after giving him a quick peck on the cheek which left Havoc looking like all his birthday’s had come at once, she stood back up and walked away to meet up with Sheska and Maria Ross.

Roy was completely confused now, something was going on in his house that he hadn’t planned and he wanted to know what it was damn it! He started walking towards Riza, intent on ordering her to explain everything before he decided to court martial her. He doubted it would work but it was always worth a try.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ed stood in front of the full length mirror that he had failed to see when he had first entered the room. He figured it made sense that a man like Mustang would have one in his room but still…vanity, thy name is Roy.

He was not happy, the fact that the top was almost sheer was bad enough but the leather was tight and right now it was uncomfortable. Maybe it was the knowledge of what was beneath the trousers but he just couldn’t shake the uncomfortable feeling that seemed to reach down to his very core.

The collar was a good fit but he couldn’t stop himself from continually pulling at it like it was strangling him. The message that said he was the property of Rockbell automail just kept him in a nice pissed off mood.

He had taken a quick glance at the sheets Winry had dropped on the bed and he didn’t know whether to feel completely mortified or just sad that she was so damn perceptive. It was almost like the song was written for him and for this moment but he’d be damned if he was going to admit it. He moved towards the bed, he hadn’t found any shoes in the bag so he assumed he would be wearing his own boots. He was about to sit down to pull his socks back on when the door opened making him jump slightly.

“Ed you look great” Winry was beaming at him and Ed almost lost his hold on the anger that he had directed at her. He caught himself just as he was about to smile and scowled at her instead.

“That’s a matter of opinion” he all but growled in response.

“Now Ed don’t be like that. Why are you putting your socks back on?” she looked confused and Ed wondered if she had something even worse than a posing pouch to show him.

“I have to wear something Winry and there is no way I’m wearing heals.” He flinched as Winry laughed. God that sound was grating.

“Of course you’re not wearing heals silly, they wouldn’t go with your automail.” Ed couldn’t decide if she was mad or if he was because that explanation seemed to make a horrible kind of sense. The only reason he wasn’t wearing heals was…because they wouldn’t suit his automail. He almost cracked and broke down in fits of hysterical laughter but somehow he managed to keep himself together.

“So what am I wearing then Winry?” Ed sighed and hung his head, ready for whatever new torture his old childhood friend had come up with.

“Nothing.”

“What?” Ed was sure he had heard wrong. Now would be a good time to humiliate him more and she was passing that up? Something was wrong here.

“Nothing Ed, you’re going out barefoot. Well barefoot and autofoot.” She walked over to him and removed the one sock he had already replaced. “So are you ready? Good” and just like that she grabbed his hand and dragged him from the room, taking him to meet his fate.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

On his way towards Riza and her little clutch of evil women, Roy had decided that it might be a good idea to not confront her. After all, she was rather a good marks woman, she had her gun with her and he rather liked having the use of his reproductive organs. So instead he had decided to find a spot close by where he could overhear snippets of their conversation.

“Is it all set up?”

“Oh yeah, Winry has this wired.”

“This is so exciting isn’t it?”

“Yes Sheska, I can’t believe it’s taken this long to set something like this up.”

“There hasn’t been an opportunity till now.”

“Right, I mean it’s not like we can just lock them in a room until they decide to get along.”

“Well we could but they’re both higher ranks than us and I would like to keep my place in the military.”

“Why?”

“What do you mean why?”

“Well, surely with your talents there are other things you could do.”

“I happen to like the military and the money isn’t too bad either. I think we lost the topic somewhere.”

“Oh, sorry about that.”

“Has Havoc done his bit?”

“Perfectly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him move so fast.”

“The poor guy, he was having real problems.”

“Is Al ok? I mean he’s never been in this state before.”

“He’s alright, Winry’s gonna take him home later and keep an eye on him so nothing bad happens.”

“He’s rather sweet when he’s drunk.”

Roy couldn’t believe what he was hearing, there was a plot going on here and he was pretty sure he was a part of it. He leaned a little further in and knocked a plant in the process.

“Girls, I think we have an uninvited guest” Riza’s head seemed to swivel around almost 180 degrees and Roy turned quickly and began to walk away. He really didn’t want them to catch up with him. He reached the far side of the room before he turned around to see if anyone had followed him and let out the breath he had been unconsciously holding when he saw that nobody had. This was worse than he thought if the drunken Al was a part of it. He was about to go and confront Havoc, the one person he knew he could break, when he heard someone tapping the mic.

“Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, for your pleasure and for one night only because I’m pretty sure that he’s going to want to melt this machine tomorrow, Edward Elric the Fullmetal alchemist.” Winry passed the mic to Ed while the crowd cheered and whistle at him. A few sending him appreciative cat calls at his rather provocative outfit. Roy decided Havoc could wait when he heard the first few notes. Winry actually had rather good taste in music and Ed’s voice quite suited it too. He listened intently, completely forgetting about the plot when Ed began to sing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Never know how much I love you
never know how much I care
when you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bare”

Ed’s body moved almost involuntarily with the music, his hips moving with every beat. People in the audience clapped and clicked on the beats while others tapped their feet in an unconscious display. There would never come a time when he would admit this, but Winry had picked him a good song and he kind of liked this.

“You give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night”

Ed’s eyes sought out the one person he really wanted to see but he couldn’t find him. At first he thought that maybe he wasn’t in the room but then he caught a glimpse of dark hair as it moved out from behind a bookcase. Those coal black eyes were staring straight at him and Ed stared right back.

“Sun lights up the day time
moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
and you know I'm gonna treat you right”

Ed wanted Roy to realise that the words were meant for him. Somehow Winry had figured it all out and had chosen songs that were designed in some way to be aimed at Roy. It was slightly pathetic that she had noticed before Ed had admitted it but still… If this got him what he wanted then he didn’t really care.

“You give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night”

Ed didn’t know what his body was up to but it seemed to be moving without him. His hand was moving rather sensuously across his upper body, teasing him and everyone watching him. He hadn’t even realised he was doing it until he had seen a look pass over Roy’s face. It reminded him of a hunter, and Ed was the prey.

“Everybodies got the fever
That is somethin’ you all know
Fever isn’t such a new thing
Fever start long ago”

Roy had begun stalking towards him, moving closer pace by pace as Ed continued to sing and continued to move his hand. It now moved down to his thighs and he was becoming increasingly less able to control himself as he watched the looks of lust and craving pass over Roy’s face the closer he came.

“Romeo love Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby you’re my flame”

Ed was sure to accent the last word just in case anybody was still in the dark as to who this song was aimed at. His eyes had closed as he sang, becoming lost in the song and just wanting his flame alchemist to reach him already.

“Now give me fever
When were kissin’
Fever with that flame in you
Fever
I'm a fire
Fever yeah I burn for you”

Ed felt someone put a hand on his arm and he opened his eyes to see Roy standing in front of him. The look on Roy’s face almost ruined him but he carried on singing. Roy just stood in front of him, not moving a muscle.

“Captain Smith and Pocahontas
had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said daddy oh don't you dare”

Roy pulled Ed towards him so that the young blond’s body was flush with his own. Together they swayed with the music as Ed continued to sing. There were moans coming from the audience but the pair completely ignored them as if they were the only two in the room.

“He gives me fever
With his kisses
fever when he holds me tight
Fever
I'm his misses
Daddy won't you treat him right”

The pair stared into each others eyes as Ed continued with his song. It was as if the universe had opened up and swallowed them, nothing else mattered. All that mattered now was that they were in each others arms.

“Now you listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade”

Ed’s voice had gotten a little quieter and his hips ground into Roy’s as they moved to the beat. The people watching were getting quite the show and Roy shouldn’t have been worried about his carpet, it was going to need a good wash after this anyway.

“They give you fever
when you kiss them
Fever if you really learned
Fever
Till you sizzlen
But what a lovely way to burn”

People were looking around for tissues to stop the nose bleeds, mostly unsuccessful in their searches. Blood was dripping onto the floor and Roy didn’t care. Some of the men were desperately trying to get into the bathroom to alleviate problems they couldn’t believe they were having. Winry looked completely smug and watched as Ed’s real leg moved up to encircle Roy’s waist. She couldn’t believe how well this had turned out.

“But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn”

Ed’s voice was so low that he wasn’t sure he had even sung the last few lines. He dropped the mic as Roy moved his hand down to cup Ed’s chin and tilt his head up. They looked into each others eyes and smiled.

“Remind me to thank Winry” Ed said before moving his lips up and brushing them against Roy’s in a chaste first kiss. They pulled away and again looked at each other lustfully.

“We’ll buy her something nice.” Roy replied before moving back down to claim Ed’s lips more forcefully than before. Ed moaned into the kiss, he had been waiting for this all damn night and he was not disappointed.
