Closing the Distance Between Us

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Fullmetal Alchemist sniff sniff

Haylo everyone so sorry for the long delay for Chapter 9. I hope you enjoy it.

Please Reveiew!

My week of vacation time has finally come to an end. Now I am in my own bed alone. I miss Mustang and his warm cozy bed. And I miss other stuff that we did in said bed. Okay not the time to be thinking of those kind of things. Today I am going to look for any signs of the chimeras. I have a feeling that the homonculi are behind this somehow. I know I am suppose to wait for Mustang to so we can go together, but I am ready to get a move on. I get up and put my hair in it’s familiar braid. I put on my regular clothing consisting of a black sleeve less shirt and black pants. I grab my red jacket and put it on. I lock up the house.
I start down the street with a sense to go north according to the people that were keeping an eye out that’s where most of the activity took place. I am heading more to the outskirts of Central. There are less buildings and more trees and grasses aligning the road. On one particular street I thought that I had spotted Mustang in the back seat of a car with Hawkeye driving. I think that I was mistaken. It must have been my eyes playing tricks on me. I longed for Mustang to be there with me, but I knew there were something’s that I had to on my own and this was one of those times. I pushed my thoughts of Mustang aside and made my way to where the last chimera was seen. I was now standing front of an old abandoned warehouse.

"Well, well what have we here? It seems that our chimera’s have brought on a pest problem." The sniggering voice of Envy rang through the air. I turned around to see Envy, Gluttony, and Lust were standing on the roof of the warehouse. I felt very out numbered especially with some of the chimera that were coming out of the wood work and starting to surround me. I did not let panic over come me. I knew I had to stay calm if there was any chance for me to survive and I knew that they wanted me alive so that came into play with me while I suddenly clapped my hands together to turn my automail arm into a sword like weapon.

I slashed the chimera surrounding me. The fell at the mercy of my blade. I ran straight for the building to somehow make it collapse so that the occupants on top would fall with it. I knew it wouldn’t kill them, but it would at least buy me some time to get away or think of a better plan. I don’t even know what is here for them to be hanging out here.

"Look at the little bug he’s trying to make the building collapse luckily there is nothing of importance inside." Envy said.

Did he or it just call me a bug? No time to think about that now. So this was just some kind of decoy to keep us from finding what they are really up to. Then I have no qualms with destroying the whole place. Before I knew it Envy was in front of me. Ready to fight.

"Envy don’t waste your time we have other pressing matters that have to be taken care of." Lust said while flipping her long black hair behind shoulder.

"Can I eat him Lust please." Gluttony looked up pleadingly at Lust.

Lust shook her head, "Remember we still need him alive. Remember Envy!" Lust tried to coax her companion out of fighting me.

"I know, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t still have some fun." Envy’s eyes gleamed with the thought of fighting. "And I will keep this form to battle you shorty."

Okay that’s it I’ve been composed up until this moment, but this guy is really starting to piss me off. "Who are you calling short you crossing dressing freak."

I think I hit a nerve, with my comment Envy lunged at me. I faked him and slashed at him with my blade, but he dodged it. I then attempted to punch him square in the face, he dodged my blow. This went on for a while nether of us having success when I suddenly heard "Ed duck." I did as the voice commanded. Luckily I did because a stream of flames came out of nowhere and hit Envy. Unfortunately Envy only got singed slightly. Mustang stood his ground and snapped his fingers again making the flames go toward Envy, Lust, and Gluttony. They got out the way, not without some injuries though. While Mustang was distracted Lust cut through the building causing it to start falling toward me from my place on the ground. I wasn’t prepared to run, I threw my hands over my head to protect it. Then a familiar weight was on top of me protecting me from the debris. Some of the debris was alight with some of Mustang’s remaining fire.

I felt the weight on top of me slip off me. That was when I started to panic. I got to my knees a little shakily not knowing how Mustang was, was causing me to start breathing hard. I checked his pulse which was beating, but rather faintly. I could feel my eyes burn with the sting of tears. I placed Mustang’s head in lap and ran my hands through his soft hair.

"You better not leave me you Bastard you still have to call me short and smirk." My tears ran down my cheeks landing on Mustang’s face. I didn’t even notice that it had started to rain. The rain washed away the remaining fire. Hawkeye had gone off to chase Lust, Envy, and Gluttony not even knowing what had become of Mustang. By the time she returned I was holding Mustang close to me and he was still unconscious I had tried rousing him, but nothing seemed to work.

"Ed we have to get him to the hospital." Hawkeye said calmly, I could tell that she was badly shaken I nodded my head in agreement. I helped her carry him to the car. I stayed in the back with Mustang’s head still in lap. I still stroked his soaked hair. I saw Hawkeye looking at me with the rear view mirror.

"You love him don’t you," She whispered.

"Yes I do. How did you know?" I asked looking down at Mustang to see that his face seemed to have relaxed a little. He didn’t seemed to be in immediate danger. His pulse was stronger and his breathing wasn’t as labored as it had been. He was still unconscious though.

"I could always tell. There was actually a bet as to when you guys would get together. It looks like Al won." My head jerked up to see her eyes smiling.

"You all knew." I was flabbergasted.

"Of course who couldn’t tell the you had crushes on each other. It was obvious to every one except you two." Hawkeye then turned her eyes back to the road. "How is he doing?"

"He’s doing better than he was before." I let out a sigh and looked down at the love of my life. He looked to be in a bit of pain. I did the only thing I could. I continued to stroke his hair and I started to whisper assurances that he would be okay. My heart throbbed in pain with the state Mustang was in. I started to blame myself. If I hadn’t been so damn eager to find the chimera’s he wouldn’t be in this state. Before I knew it Hawkeye parked the car at the hospital and she touched my shoulder to rouse me to let me know that we were there.

"Ed we’re here," Hawkeye had taken the liberty to get a stretcher. I reluctantly let of Mustang go and I held onto his hand as they rushed him into the hospital. I felt totally powerless when they wheeled him away from me. It was like my heart was taken with him and only would be returned when I got to see him.

Hawkeye stayed right with me in the waiting room. We found out that he was going to be fine. He had a concussion and some cuts and bruises. And he had to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. I was so relieved that I started crying when I saw him lying in his hospital bed smirking. It had been a day before I got to see him.

"Did you miss me?" Mustang croaked with his unused voice.

"Of course I did Colonel Bastard!" I said as I hugged him and squeezed him as much as I dared. Mustang hugged me back just as hard maybe even a little harder.

"Now tell me what the hell you were thinking when you went off on your own?" Mustang pulled away from our hug. I looked him in the eye and told him the truth.

"I thought that I could handle it on my own. I didn’t think any thing like this would happen."

"Ed listen to me. I never want you to do something that dangerous by yourself. Even if you think that you can handle it. And I know that you have been through much worse. I just don’t want to lose you." Mustang caressed my cheek and I leaned in to the touch. I was getting ready to kiss him when I heard some clear there throat.

I turned around to find Al and Winry standing in the door with Hawkeye bringing up the rear. I blushed slightly front my bent over position over Mustang. "Hey Al, Winry how are you?"I didn’t know what to say.

"Big Brother I am so glad that you are okay. Hawkeye called us and we came on the first train that we could get." Al rushed over and hugged me. I hugged him back.

"I am fine, but Mustang’s the one who got all banged up."

"I am so sorry Colonel how are you feeling?" Al asked.

"I am doing fine thank you for asking Al."

Winry came up along side me and hugged me tight. "I am happy that you not hurt." She breathed a sigh of relief. "And I am so sorry Colonel that you are."

"Thank you Winry," Mustang said while sitting up in his bed more. "Well I guess we are out in the open. I mean my relationship Ed that is."

"I knew that you two would end up together." Al stated he had a huge grin on his face. Then I remembered Winry and how she felt about me. I looked at her to find that she was smiling. It had tinge of sadness to it, but she looked happy for us non the less.

"I always knew too, I just kept a false sense of hope that you and I would end up together. I am so happy for you two. How long has it been?" Winry and Al pulled up some seats. It was like it was story time. Even Hawkeye looked really interested.

"We got together in Liore," I started and told them some of our experiences in Liore. I kept out some intimate and embarrassing details. I told them the whole gist of it though. When I had finished Al piped in.

"That means I won the bet," Al looked guilty when he made eye contact with me, "Sorry Big Brother I didn’t mean to bet on this sort of thing." We all started laughing.

"That’s fine how much do you get because you’re going to have to split the profit with me."

"Ah, Big Brother that’s not fair." Al tried to convince me that he had no intention of keeping any money. I told him if he did get some money that he could keep it all. Winry and Al left the room after about thirty minutes of reminiscing. They told me that they would be in town for a few more days and then they were going to be going back to Winry’s apprenticeship. Al said that he would stay there for about two more weeks and then he would come back so we could figure out what was happening with the homonculi. Right now all I wanted to focus on was Mustang and be by his side. I decided that I would temporarily move in with him until he was better.

Mustang ended up staying at the hospital for about four or five days. We were now back at his house and he was as good as new or close to it. He still felt sore in certain places. I was making the bed comfortable for him right now.

"Hey Mustang did you want the big pillows so you could sit up and read." I felt strong arms hug me from behind.

Mustang whispered in my ear and I shuddered. "No, but I do want something else." I knew immediately where this was going. And knew at that moment in time that I was ready for this.

"Oh, really then what do you want?" What?! I had to make sure it was what I was thinking. My answer came quickly enough. Mustang put his hand on my crotch. I became even harder than I had been with the whispering in the ear. He started making slow circular motions. I moaned unable to keep myself in control. I was still pressed against his back and his arousal was apparent. I could feel it on my ass.

Mustang suddenly turned me around neither us really took it slow with taking off our clothes. We practically ripped them off each other. I took one looked at Mustang and pounced him like I was the predator and he was my prey. Although you might think that it would go the other way. I kissed and delved my tongue in to his sweet cavern of a mouth. While we attacked each others mouth’s. Mustang ran his hands up and down my body. He pinched my nipple’s until they were hard. I moaned and our kissed swallowed it. We finally broke apart. I was on top, but it seems Mustang had other plans in mind. He flipped me over gently on my back. He licked and nipped at my collar bone. It was getting harder and harder to think clearly. My mind was in a whirl of pleasure. He slowly moved down my body. Planting butterfly kisses every where. Mustang reached my very hard and very throbbing member and it looked like he was going to take me in his mouth then he stopped. I almost begged him to keep going, but he got up before I had the chance.

I couldn’t take anymore I was ready, "Mustang I want you inside me," He turned eyes that were glazed over with lust. I could feel the love he felt for me radiating off him. I blushed at the intensity of his stare and my own boldness.

"I thought that you would never say that," Mustang’s voice was low and husky. Making me even harder with just the power of his voice. "I was actually going to get the lube." He blushed a pretty hue of pink making him look delectable.

Mustang grabbed the lube from the drawer. "How long have you had that?" I questioned curious as to what the answer must be.

"Since we got back from Liore," Mustang walked back over to the bed. "Are you sure you’re ready for this Ed?"

"Yes, I want you inside me now!" I breathed out. That was all it to for Mustang to quickly coat three of his fingers with the lube. Mustang climbed on top of the bed and he gave an apologetic look when I suddenly felt an instant intrusion. Mustang put the first finger in I felt tears swell in my eyes. Mustang kissed them away. He slowly moved the finger around slowly stretching me out. Before I knew it he put the second finger in. He started moving his fingers in and out in a slow rhythm. Then he hit a spot inside of me. It caused me to see white and it felt so amazing. I started pushing back down on his fingers causing him to hit the spot inside me over and over. Mustang finally put in the third finger. He then pulled them out of me and put his throbbing member in front of my opening. Mustang gave me a looked that asked if I was ready. I nodded my head not able to stand it any more. He slowly pushed his member inside of me. It was the weirdest sensation.

"Ed your so hot and tight," He moaned. I couldn’t help, but moan as soon as he starting moving slowly at first.

"Faster please and harder," I begged. Mustang obliged with much enthusiasm. He started thrusting harder and faster. Every time hit that spot inside me that caused me to see white. We started going in a fast rhythm. I pushed back down meeting his every thrust. Mustang grabbed my throbbing hardeness and started stroking it nsync with our movements.

"I am going to come," I screamed not believing the pure pleasure that my body was experiencing. "Mustang," I moaned as I came on our stomachs.

With one last thrust Mustang yelled out. "Ed," and came inside me. Mustang slumped against me. We were both still riding the last pleasure of our climaxes.

I layed my head against his chest. He looked so damn sexy. His haired was all mussed and he was glistening with sweat.

"I love you," Mustang whispered in my ear and kissed me innocently on the lips.

"I love you too," I whispered back. Suddenly feeling a little shy. Mustang and I cuddled together for the rest of the night. I never had such a great night of sleep.

Little did we know the danger that was lurking so close to us.
