Curiosity
Chapter Seven
Orange and scarlet streaked across the sky as the sun set over the small town of Resembool. A small lamp on a plain wooden table was lit in preparation for the loss of the natural light. At said table sat a very confused and angry Roy Mustang, currently glaring at the cup of coffee Alphonse had set in front of him. Across from him sat a dead man. Or, at least he was supposed to be dead. For some reason, it was insanely hard to keep Edward Elric dead.
"So, am I going to get a full explanation for all of this?" Roy lifted the cup and took a long sip of coffee, giving the rest of the household time to come up with a suitable answer.
Alphonse was the first to speak. "Fuhrer-"
"Roy. No need for formalities."
"Ah..Roy.. Well, as you can see, brother is not dead. " The younger Elric scratched his cheek, clearly unsure of how to continue.
"Yes, I can see that. I'm assuming the train accident was staged? Five other people died that day. "
Edward scoffed. "No, I didn't stage the damn train accident. It was just convenient. So, now you know I'm alive. Can you please go the fuck back to Central? Forget you ever found this out."
Roy set down his cup, clasping his hands together so that he could rest his chin on them. He studied the young blonde, intentionally avoiding looking down. It was hard to determine how to approach this situation, which was serving to aggravate him further. Roy Mustang did not like uncertain situations. Finally he forced himself to take in all of Edward, trying to access the damage. A metal hand was settled on the round lump that was once a flat stomach, absently rubbing it.
"I think, at this point, simply forgetting this is not an option. " He sighed. "Fullmetal, I think you owe me a better explanation, especially one about your.. condition."
The table shook as Ed slammed down his own coffee cup. "I don't owe you a god damn thing. There is no condition. Now, leave." With that, he stood and exited the room. Alphonse clicked his tongue in disapproval of his brother's rude behavior, standing to collect the coffee mug.
After a few moments, the previously silent Pinako Rockbell tapped her pipe and cleared her throat. "The shrimp is moody these days. Wish he wouldn't lose his temper so easily though, not good for the baby. "
Roy let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. "So it's true.. he's really..pregnant?"
She chuckled softly. "Indeed he is. About 7 months by our calculations. Said he remembered the exact day he conceived. By both of your faces, I'm assuming your the mysterious father he refused to tell us about? I can see why he's so upset. I would be too if I was having a baby with someone I was supposed to hate."
More silence floated by. There really wasn't much to say at this point. Edward Elric was carrying his child. There was something he never thought he'd have to face. He sighed heavily and turned to the younger Elric. "Alphonse, I still need to speak to Edward. Where would he have gone?"
"Um..well he has trouble with the stairs, so his bedroom is downstairs. It's likely he would have gone there. Although, even if he went out the backdoor, he can't waddle very fast. "
"Which room is his?"
"When you leave this room, the hallway leads right to his door. I know you need to talk to him, but please don't upset brother too badly. He's been through a lot."
Roy nodded and headed out the door Edward had previously exited through. As soon as he shut the door behind him, he noticed the door directly in front of him was ajar. Opening it, he realized it led outside into the chilly evening. There on the back steps sat Edward, wrapped up in his trademark crimson cloak. Roy walked out and gently shut the door. "You know, you shouldn't be out here. You'll catch a cold."
The younger man turned slightly, studying Roy through a curtain of blonde. "I usually run hot these days."
"Ah, I see." Roy cleared his throat, coming up to stand on the first step. The sun was almost done setting, bathing the yard in a red-orange glow. "Not as cold here as it is in Central. It was snowing there when I left."
"Nah. We hardly see snow out here."
"We didn't see much snow in East City either."
Edward stood, climbing up to the top step to stand next to Mustang. Gold orbs glared at the dark haired man. "What are you still doing here Mustang?"
Roy met his golden stare. "I'm here because you weren't done explaining everything to me. I think I deserve to know about that. " He pointed at Edward's swollen stomach.
"Deserved to know? Ha! You deserve a kick in the junk Fuhrer Asshat, but that's about it. I faked my death to get out of the military without any fuss. If you are here to make a big deal about that, so be it, but the kid isn't any of your concern."
"Is it mine?"
Edward scowled at the older man. "Of course it is! I don't just go sleeping around with everybody!"
"Okay, then it is definitely my concern. I'm insulted that you would hide this from me."
"What the hell was I supposed to do?!" His voice began shaking. Ed sat down on the step again and put his head in his hands. "Do you even realize what could happen because of this?! You're the Fuhrer! I'm a man! If the military didn't drag me off to be studied, the media would have a field day! I couldn't risk any of that. The best course of action was to disappear, and take my child with me. "
"Our child."
"What?"
Roy sat down next to him, rubbing his temples in an effort to ward off the impending migraine. "Our child. As in, that kid isn't just your's, it's mine too. Damnit Fullmetal..." The headache was coming anyway. "You should have just said something. We could have figured out a way to fix all of this. You didn't have to go with this half assed scheme. "
"Half assed? If you hadn't randomly showed up, no one would have known I was out here. As far as the village is concerned, I'm Winry's pregnant cousin. It's held up so far."
"Eventually this would have blown up. Regardless, don't you think I had a right to know about this child?"
Edward folded his arms around his stomach. "At first, I considered it.. but in the end I figured it was better if you didn't. What happened between us was a freak occurrence. Leave it to my luck to screw it up. " He gave a weak laugh. "You didn't need a kid. When I explained that it was a possibility back then, you had the most freaked out look on your face. It's not like you asked for it either. I mean, guys shouldn't be able to get pregnant, so you weren't even prepared for this possibility. "
A sigh escaped the dark haired man. The sun had finally set, and the stars were beginning to show themselves all across the night sky. A cold breeze rolled over the green and brown hills, causing Roy to shiver a bit. "You're right. I was freaked out. I should have realized when dealing with you, anything is possible. I still wish you had told me. "
"If I had, what would you have done?"
"What I'm about to do now. I want you to come back to Central with me."
Ed looked up at Roy. "Why?"
"I would feel better knowing you are close by. That way you have access to top notch medical care should you need it. Your doctor is in Central is he not?"
"Yeah.. he's come out here a few times to check on me though. He was planning to surgically deliver the baby here in about 6 weeks." His gold hair whipped around him in the wind, obscuring his view of the older man. After a few minutes of contemplation, Ed rose up off the steps and walked back towards the door. "Fine, I'll go. You're right that it would be best if I was near Dr. Notting. I guess I'll pack and we can leave whenever you're ready. "
Suddenly he hunched over a bit, grimacing in pain. Roy moved to help him, but held himself back. "Fullmetal? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, yeah. She just kicks a lot. Kinda hurts when she hits ribs."
"She? How do you know the sex?"
Ed straightened up. "Granny says it's a girl, so I'm inclined to believe her." He massaged his stomach fondly, only to flinch again. "Ouch."
Before he could help himself, Roy closed the distance between them and placed his hands on the blonde's abdomen. Sure enough, there was a fluttering of motion between his fingers. That's when it finally sunk in. There really was a baby, a baby that was going to be here in less than two months. "I can't believe it.."
Finally Ed shooed his hands away. "Don't go getting all sentimental on me bastard." With that, he entered the house and left a stunned Roy standing out in the cold.
OooooOOOOooOOO
