DISCLAMERS: Fullmetal Alchemist is property of Hiromu Arakawa, Square Enix and Studio BONES. These characters aren\'t mine, I\'m just borrowing them for a little while.



Ed was anxious, not just because he had to get to Risemboul so Winry and Pinako would work on his automail. No, it was rather because Russell was coming with him. Not that he didn\'t want Russell around, far from it, but because Winry didn\'t know about Russell. She didn\'t know about them and that made him nervous as hell.

\"It\'s going to be boring...\" Ed had said.

\"But I want to be with you. Help you if you feel pain.\" Russell had replied.

They didn\'t see each other as much as they wanted so in the end, Ed relented and Russell was now sitting next to him on a train to Risemboul. Ed was wearing the same old black outfit with the red coat. Russell admitted to himself that Ed looked so sexy in those leather pants. Russell was of course wearing what he always wore, slacks that were held up by suspenders and a white shirt. They sat next to each other talking quietly, until Ed grew silent as he looked outside.

\"Ed... Penny for your thoughts?\" Russell said, brushing his lock of hair that stubbornly went back in front of his eyes again.

\"Ah?... Sorry... Just... thinking about home...\" Ed replied.

\"I can\'t wait to see Risemboul!\" Russell smiled. \"I want to see where a genius like you was born...\"

Ed rolled his eyes. \"Aw come on, Russ, I was born there like a lot of people before me and they still make babies the same way. There\'s nothing special in Risemboul.\"

\"Still, it will be nice to see it!\" Russell replied. \"And I want to see this Winry you and Al talk about all the time...\"

Ed cringed. Winry -- how was he going to present Russell to her, and would he survive the encounter?

\"Mmm.\" Russell studied him. \"Was there anything between you and Winry?\"

Ed facevaulted. \"What? NO!... I mean... well there\'s that time when we were five years old and we kissed and said we would get married.... But she dumped me for Al.\"

Russell laughed. \"I was just kidding... Was that really your only kissing experience, at age five? Wow, you were born a good kisser, weren\'t you?\"

Ed blushed. \"Err... well... errr..\"

Russell smirked. \"I\'m still kiding, but I do enjoy seeing you squirm a little.\"

\"Why you...\" Ed started when the whistle signaling their arrival sounded.

\"Saved by the whistle...\" smiled Russell, giving Ed his luggage.

\"Don\'t think you\'ll get away from this, Russell Tringham.\" Ed lunged after him and exited the train. They ran until they got on the way to the Rockbells. Ed tackled Russell to the ground.

\"Gotcha!\"

\"What are you going to do with me now?\" Russell asked out of breath.

\"Why punish you of course!\" Ed replied and captured his lips in a torrid kiss. \"Mmmmm...\"

\"Mmm... I can take that kind of punishment any day.\" Russell kissed him back.

\"Mmm\' Ed smirked. \"Too bad we can\'t continue...\" And with that, he lifted himself from Russell.

\"Tease...\" grumbled Russell as he picked himself up.

\"That\'s what you get for making me squirm.\" Ed picked up a few strands of dry grass off Russell\'s hair. \"Besides... people can see us here...\"

\"You\'re right, of course,\" Russell replied. He saw Ed bite his lower lip. \"What?\"

\"I.. I haven\'t told Winry or Grandma Pinako about us, yet.\" Ed replied. \"So I don\'t know what their reactions will be.\"

\"Oh...\" Russell started. \"I see... Are you ashamed?\"

\"Of course not!\" Ed\'s voice was soft, the kind of voice he used when he felt guilty. \"I... I just don\'t know how to tell them. I\'m not ashamed of us, if you\'re wondering. But, I guess it\'s never easy to tell your family... Your orientation isn\'t the norm.\"

\"I don\'t give a damn about the norm, Ed... I love you and I feel no shame saying it,\" Russell told him full of conviction.

\"Oh Russ...\" Ed smiled. \"You\'re going to make me blush. But seriously, I\'ll find a way to talk to them. So we have to be just friends in their presence okay? Until I tell them.\"

\"Okay, but when they are not in view?\" Russell asked.

\"Then I\'m fair game.\" Ed smirked. \"Equivalent Exchange...\"

\"Don\'t you know it.\" Russell replied with a certain glint in his eyes. \"Shall we go?\"

\"Yes... But if you don\'t mind, I need to stop at a couple of places first.\"

**********************************

The first place Ed stopped was a florist, Russell saw him buy four bouquets -- and they were huge! After he paid, Ed handed two bouquets to Russell and told him to hold on to them. Russell wanted to know why Ed was buying so much, but Ed was already exiting the store and Russell had to rush to follow him.

When they hit the next place, Russell kept silent. They entered a small cemetery, Ed walked with purpose and knew exactly where he was going. Russell followed until Ed stopped in front of a tombstone.

Trisha Elric
Beloved Mother

Russell bit his lip, he couldn\'t see the date, because Ed had knelt before it. His lover tore the crabgrass that had grown around the tombstone.

\"Hi Mom,\" he whispered. \"Al couldn\'t come this time, he told me to get flowers for you.\" He put the flowers carefully on the ground in front of the tomb. \"Yes... This is Russell.\" He smiled then he became silent.

Russell took a few steps back, feeling like he was intruding. Ed must have really loved his mother -- well, who wouldn\'t love their mother, Russell did miss his own mother, a lot.

He looked back at the tombstone and saw the date, his heart sank. Ed must have been no older than ten or eleven when she died. That was way too young to be alone in the world. Oh, Ed had Al, but no more parents... Russell couldn\'t help but feel sad, remembering how his mother died when he was himself thirteen and Fletcher, eleven.

He was pulled out of his reverie when he heard Ed sniff and wipe his eyes with his white gloves. He stood up. \"Okay... I\'m ready...\"

Russell wanted to drop the bouquets and hold Ed close, comfort him. But they weren\'t alone, there were a few of the people in the cemetery and they waved at Ed, so it wasn\'t really the time to cuddle. Russell was starting to wonder when would be a good time. Then he felt bad, he came with Ed so he could be with his as they did work on his automail and all he could think of was finding a way to run his hands all over his body.

They started to walk again, Russell following Ed because he was not at all familiar with the area. Risemboul was very different from Xenotime, Russell decided, it was flatter and had less tress also, all around them there were nothing but farms and crops. He smilled, it was a very nice place. He wouldn\'t mind moving here.

As they walked, people working the fields would wave at them. Ed would wave back, calling the people by their names. Those who were closer teased Ed about his height, which of course made Ed angry at them. They laughed and Russell joined in the laughter, much to Ed\'s chagrin. They were only teasing him -- it wasn\'t mean, just a way to show Ed they liked him.

They walked until they reached a fork, where Ed turned and headed towards a house. Since it was the only one in the area, Russell figured this is was their final destination. As they walked though, he saw the remains of a house burned down to the ground.

\"One of your neighbours lost their house?\" Russell asked.

Ed stiffened and looked at his old house, what remained of it. \"That.... That was our home....\"

Russell could have slapped himself, he wanted to be ten feet under the soil.\"Oh...Oh Ed... I\'m sorry, I mean...\"

\"It\'s okay, Russ,\" Ed replied, his throat constricted on the words. \"You didn\'t know.\"

A question burned on Russell\'s lips but seeing how sad Ed was, he couldn\'t mouth the words. \"I\'m sorry...\" Those were the only words that he managed to croak.

Ed dismissed his concerns with a hand. \"It\'s okay Russ... really.\"

That didn\'t make Russell feel much better, as they neared the house, he wanted to cuddle with Ed and apologies to him in a very intimate way. He kicked himself mentally to want to caress Ed so much -- it made him look like a lecher. Where Ed was concerned, he was one -- he had to restrain himself to stop having lewd thoughts about him.

Ed didn\'t show it but he could feel Russell\'s restlessness, a small smile crept on his lips -- something Russell couldn\'t see because Ed was walking in front. He adored to tease the taller boy and he could tell by now, Russell was struggling with himself not to do anything.

Just to keep Russell on his toes, he had waved at EVERYONE. Ed knew a frustrated Russell was pure sexual delight when he was given free reign on his body. Ed shivered a bit just thinking about but caught himself, he wanted to keep the game going...just a little while longer.

They made their way to the house, it was rather large and Russell could see the nameplate in front of it: Rockbell\'s Automail. If someone told Russell he\'s found an automail shop in the middle of nowhere in Risemboul, he probably wouldn\'t have believed it -- after all most of the automail makers were in Rush Valley.

Russell heard Ed groan, that\'s when he realised that there was a note pinned on the front door. Ed climed the stairs to the porch, grabbed the paper and read.

\"Hi Edward and Friend,

We had to leave because we had an emergency call, Mr. Badhleir got his hand stuck in his mower...\" Ed stopped and winced, so did Russell. \"Due to the damage to his nervous system, we had to rush there and fit him with his automail port before it was too late. We should come back before diner, in the meantime, make yourself at home. Ed, your friend can sleep in the room Alphonse used, you might have to put clean sheets on the bed, though, it hasn\'t been used in a while... Oh and Grandma sais there was apple pie in the icebox. Just don\'t eat it all, she warns you, or else!

Winry xxxxx \"

Ed sighed. \"oh well looks like we have the place all to ourselves... Gimme a sec...\" Ed grabbed the railing and jumped down and scurried under the porch. Russell watched him, puzzled, wondering what he was doing. When Ed emerged from under the porch, he held out a key, ran back up the flight of stairs and opened the door.

When Russell entered the house with Ed, the first room he saw was the kitchen. It was spacious, much bigger than the one they had at their house. There was a strange contraption against the wall, which Russell eyed with suspision.

\"What\'s that?\" he asked Ed pointing the thing.

\"One of Winry\'s inventions... I think it\'s to cook food,\" Ed replied. \"Come, I\'ll show you to your room and you can dump your suitcase.\"

Russell nodded and followed him. They entered a small room with a bed that was shoved in a corner. They both worked to move the bed so Russell could sleep that night. It wasn\'t much, but it served its purpose. There were boxes full of automail stuff in a corner, so Russell figured that when the room wasn\'t in use, it served as storage for parts.

\"Sorry, I wished we could have shared the same room but...\" Ed started.

\"I understand\" Russell replied. Still, he thought, what prevented him from going into Ed\'s room at night? \"Where\'s your room?\"

Ed smiled and opened a door that didn\'t lead back to the kitchen. \"Right here -- so you see, it\'s not all that bad. One thing though, we should wait until they all fall asleep before...\" He winked at Russell and dumped his suitcase in the room. As Russell moved in to kiss him, Ed added, \"I\'m hungry -- let\'s go eat some of that pie.\" He ducked Russell and ran into the kitchen.

Russell was getting frustrated more and more by Ed\'s teasing. They were alone in a house, no one around to stop them from doing what they wanted. So why the hell wasn\'t he having hot, delicious sex with Edward Elric?

Because Edward Elric\'s stomach won over Russell\'s dick anyday, that was why. Russell was ready to weep when he heard Ed yell out, \"Great, they left us sandwiches! Come on, Russ! Get in here I\'m hungry!\"

\"I\'m coming,\" Russell said. Oh damn, how I wish I was, came the thought in the back of his head.

He watched Ed stuff his mouth with the sandwiches. He just looked at him, wishing those hot lips were around his hardened member instead of a piece of bread. He sighed.

\"Bored, Russ?\" Ed asked between bites.

Russell shook his head and got up. He walked to the water pump and started filling a pitcher. Ed looked at him when Russell poured himself a glass of water and drank it to calm down. Ed\'s mouth split into a loopy grin, he was going to tease Russell a little more.

\"I\'m done!\" The blond state alchemist stated. He got up and grabbed Russell by the arm. \"Come, I have to show you around!\"

And show him around he did, beginning with Winry and Pinako\'s workstation. Russell listened to him with only a half ear, automail didn\'t interest him as much as Alchemy. Sure. it was part of Ed, but still it wasn\'t his thing.

Ed realised Russell\'s lack of interest and nudged him. \"Come, there\'s one last room I want to show you...\" Russell followed him up a flight of stairs. \"This is Winry\'s room.\"

\"Whoa... Wait, Ed... I mean, are you sure it\'s a good idea?\" Russell wasn\'t too sure about this, going into a girl\'s room? He knew he shouldn\'t be doing that.

\"Ah, come on, live a little!\" Ed taunted and pushed open Winry\'s door.

\"This? This is a girl\'s room?\" Russell eyed the room suspiciously -- the floor was filled with spare parts, cans of automail oil and books with diagrams as intricate as high level arrays. He also wondered why a girl would have a wrench and a screwdriver on her bed.

\"Yes, this is Winry\'s room.\" Ed sauntered into the bedroom/workshop. \"I have a lot of fond memories of this room.\" Of course, those memories were of him, Al and Winry as they played here as chidren, but he wasn\'t about to say that to Russell.

\"Really?\" Russell replied, eyes still surveying the tools. He always thought a girl\'s room would be pink and that there would be ruffles on the bed.

\"Yeah,\" Ed purred. \"You know, before meeting you... I thought I would have my first sexual experience here... in this room...\"

Okay, that got Russell\'s attention -- his member even rose to the occasion. \"Really, now. Were you and Winry... boyfriend and girlfriend?\"

Ed sat on the bed, looking at Russell with his golden eyes. \"No. But, you know, I didn\'t know I liked men better then. I thought me and Winry would get married one day...\"

Russell looked at Ed, the blond on the bed was looking at him in a way that made his mouth water. \"I. . . I see,\" he managed to say. \"Would you say it\'s a fantasy of yours to. . . make love here?\"

Ed unclasped his jacket and snaked his human hand under his shirt. \"You might say that.\"

\"I\'m not Winry,\" Russell said, his voice strangled in his throat.

\"Good. \'Cause...\" Ed opened his legs and his hand travelled from under his shirt to his aching erection. \"I want Russell Tringham right now....\"

A low growl escaped between Russell\'s teeth. \"Fuck, Ed, don\'t tease me like that. We can\'t... not here...\"

Edward unzipped his pants and slipped his hand inside, stroking himself, still hidden from Russell\'s view. \"Why? Don\'t you want me?\"

Russell was trembling, Ed was teasing him and pushing back the restraints he put around himself. The more time passed, the more he wanted to be inside Ed, make him scream with esctasy. \"Ed....\" He was panting, but still had enough wits about him to look outside and see the sun was setting. \"They\'re going to be here soon.\"

Ed pulled out his erection and stroked it in front of him. \"I know, and you\'re wasting time, Russ. Come here...\"

Russell\'s mind was yelling at him to stop it this instant, but his dick got a hold of his legs and made him walk towards Ed. He sank to his knees, still fighting it, his mouth just inches from Edward\'s erection.

\"I want you...\" Ed hissed. \"Take me, Russ...\"

Something snapped in Russell\'s mind and he grasped Ed\'s pants and pulled them down. His lips wrapped around his erection and started to suck him. All the teasing, all the fucking teasing Edward had put him through had broken all resistance. Russell bobbed his head, sucking Ed hard and fast.

Ed was kicking his boots and pants away. \"OH YEAH... Oh fuck yeah Russ... Aaaah aaah your mouth..AAH... Ah you\'re going to make me come.... AAAH!...\"

Russell sucked harder, frenzied by Ed\'s sensual moans. This was his revenge for all his teasing and tasting his precome, Russell thought revenge never tasted so sweet. He wanted to drink him down once his semen burst into his mouth. He didn\'t care anymore about being discovered, he now wanted to make Ed writhe with pleasure.

\"OOH! AAH... OH Russ!...Oh yeah... Oh yeah... OOOH!!\" Ed was trembling, Russell had never been this hungry before, never this wanting. \"OH GOD!... I\'m going to come....\"

Russell didn\'t relent and even sucked harder, if that was possible. Ed started to buck his hips, the blond sucking on his member knew Ed was about to come.

Now, for the clincher. He reached into his pocket and took out a phial of lube, flipped the lid open and squirted some on his finger, then rubbed Ed\'s intimate region.

\"AAH! AAAAAH! AH RUSS!\" Ed\'s bucking was getting more violent, his breathing was getting out in gasps. He was close, so close. When Russell pushed his finger in him, sucking hard, Ed\'s reaction was immediate and he came screaming Russell\'s name.

\"AAAAH AAAH YES YEEEEEEES! RUSS!\" He grabbed Russell\'s head between his hands and came into his throat. Russell drank him as his finger started to go in and out of him. Ed tasted so good, he didn\'t let a single drop escape his lips. He continued to suck on the rapidly flacid member as another finger snaked inside Ed, scissoring him.

\"Aaah aaah... Oh yeah Russ...\" Ed was deliciously floating on a cloud when Russell let go of his soft member.

\"That\'s what you get for teasing me all day,\" groaned Russell.

\"It was worth it...\" panted Ed. \"Now, take me....\"

Russell didn\'t have to be asked twice, he was pushing a third finger in, to make sure Ed was ready for him. He smiled when the fingers went in smootly, Ed was totally relaxed and ready for him. He got up and started to pull down his pants when movement on the horizon captured his attention.

\"Oh, crap,\" he said.

Ed\'s eyes snapped open and he looked outside. There were figures in the horizon. He got back down on the bed, pulling Russell to him. \"We have time. Come on, Russ... we can\'t have them see you with your dick like that.\"

\"But, Ed...\" That was all Russell could say because Ed had taken matters into his own hands. He took Russell\'s erection and pushed the tip inside himself.

\"Ahh... Russ... We can do it... Come on...I want it!\"

Russell didn\'t know if it was Ed\'s tone of voice, the excitement of getting caught or the hot pull of Ed\'s body that made him move but before he realized what he was doing, he was burried to the hilt. Ed arched, making Russell\'s entry deeper. Russell\'s mind surrendered to the pleasure and he started to pound into Ed. Both their breaths mingled and came out in excited bursts. Mouths sought their twins and they kissed passionatly, stilling their moans as they could hear Winry calling Den to behave and to heel.

They were getting closer, both Ed and Russell were getting intoxicated with the thrill of having sex with their hosts so close. Russell changed the angle and Ed arched, biting his lower lip to keep from screaming. His lover had just brushed the sweet spot and his walls started to clamp down on Russell\'s member. Just a little more, a few more thrusts and Russell would come.

\"Oh yeah... yeah baby...\" Ed said in a husky voice filled with passion. \"Come in me... You feel so good..aaah... I want you to come in me.\" He caressed Russell\'s hair trying to keep the strand away from Russell\'s face.

\"Won\'t be long...Huh... Now...\" He started to move faster, the voices outside were growing louder. Russell never felt this excited before, the thrill of possibly getting caught was making him thrust into Ed all the harder and faster.

Ed tried to keep him moaning to a minimum but his lover\'s forceful thrusts were getting to him. Russell, who was also trying to keep quiet, saw a solution -- he held Ed closer and pressed his lips with him for a torrid kiss. Both of them started to moan in each other\'s mouth.

Ed could feel Russell was close, his breathing was labored, his movement were erratic as he burried himself deeply in him. He tried to create more friction with his movements, clenching the muscles of his ass -- and, as it turned out, his timing with the latter was excellent.

Just as Winry and Pinako were almost at the door. Ed did that sexy thing with his ass and Russell buried himself deep within him, lost all control and came, moaning loudly into the kiss.

Ed felt his lover shudder and a warm pooling in his loins, flooding him with Russell\'s love. His lover was against him panting when he heard the scraping on the stairs... DEN!

\"Get dressed, quickly!\" Ed said as they heard nails scratching the door.

\"DEN! COME BACK HERE!!!!\" But as she was about 100 yards from the house, Winry and Pinako couldn\'t do a thing. Den had scrambled inside using the doggie door. \"Damn... I hope Ed\'s friend doesn\'t hate dogs...\"

\"Oh I\'m sure it\'s going to be all right,\" Pinako replied. They were walking up the stairs when they heard a commotion in the kitchen.

\"Oh crap... DEN! BEHAVE!!!\" Winry yelled. She tried the door and found it locked. That was odd -- if Ed was inside, why did he lock the door? She shrugged and pulled out her keys. The sounds of a commotion came from inside. She frowned, wondering what that was all about.

When the door opened, she saw Ed on the kitchen floor while Den was licking his face. The short alchemist was trying to get the dog off him, but Winry could tell that Den had missed Ed and was making up for lost time. That\'s when she noticed Russell and blushed -- she didn\'t think Ed\'s friend would be this good looking.

Russell was trying to get Den off of Ed when Winry told Den to heel and the dog went to sit next to his mistress. Winry looked at both of them, she thought it was odd, they looked flushed and their hair was messed up. Well, she thought, Ed was fighting Den off himself, but she wondered why Russell was also that way.

\"Ah!\" Pinako broke the silence. \"You must be Edward\'s friend -- Russell, isn\'t it?\"

\"Yes!\" He was about to extend his hand, but he wiped it first on his pants. \"Sorry... the... the dog licked my hand.\" He shook hands with Pinako, then Winry. \"My name is Russell... Russell Tringham.\"

\"Well, Russell, a friend of Ed is a friend of ours,\" Pinako replied. She eyed them both. \"Maybe you boys would like to take a bath before diner?\"

\"That\'s an excellent idea, Obaasan Pinako!\" Ed said hurriedly, he grabbed Russell by the arm. \"I\'ll show Russell where the bath is -- thanks! Oh, and the flowers are for you and Winry.\"

Winry blinked at the whirlwind that just left the kitchen. \"What was that all about?\"

Pinako merely chuckled. \"Come on, Winry, let\'s make diner. The boys will come back when they smell food.\"

Winry nodded, but something was odd, she never saw Ed act so familiar with another person before, not enough to take a bath with another. She dusted off her clothes.

\"Grandmother, I\'m going to change,\" Winry called as she went up the stairs. When she reached the second floor, she heard yips and chuckles in the bathroom. She paused, that was odd, Ed seemed to be teasing Russell. She shrugged -- maybe it was a guy thing?

She continued on to her bedroom. When she opened the door, she was surprised. She looked at her bed, it wasn\'t even made. \"I was sure I had made it...\" She puzzled, thinking back. \"Maybe I forgot... that call did come in pretty early...\"

Then something caught her attention. \"What\'s that smell?\" There was a smell in her room that she couldn\'t put a finger on. There was a musty scent and something that smelled kind of sweet, like leaves also, it seemed to come from her bed. She slowly walked to it.

Den burst into her room and ran straight to her bed, nearly knocking Winry for a loop. He jumped on it and started to rub himself on her covers, soilling them.

\"DEN!!!!\" She rushed to get her dog off but it was too late, her bed was soiled now. She had no choice but to change it, a task she did while grumbling.

***********************************

When she came back down, Ed and Russell were STILL in the bathroom. She found that odd -- usually Ed was fast when cleaning himself, maybe Russell was a slowpoke. She helped her grandmother to make diner and, sure enough, the boys came back in the kitchen, changed and well groomed.

Winry blushed a little because she thought Russell was a cutie. He even pulled her chair back so she could be seated, she liked the gesture. But she could have sworn Ed looked jealous. She blushed some more -- for some reason to have two boys interested in her made her giddy.

What she couldn\'t figure out though was why they were sitting next to each other. Wouldn\'t one of them want to sit next to her instead of her grannie? She shrugged -- maybe they didn\'t want Pinako to yell at them.

The evening was nice, yet again, Winry as puzzled because Ed AND Russell vollunteered to do the dishes. Ed NEVER vollunteered to do the dishes. Maybe, he\'s growing up and taking responsability for himself, she thought.

The evening was short because both Winry and her grandmother were tired from their day so they retired early. Winry was about to fall asleep when she heard Ed and Russell talk in hurried whispers, and she could have sworn she heard Ed moan. When she strained her ear, she didn\'t hear another peep. She dismissed this, thinking she must have dozed off and had a dream.

Once Winry was back in dreamland, the voices started again and in the middle of the night, there was a soft moan and Den whined. Winry mumbled for him to get back to sleep.

She was going to have some questions for Ed in the morning.


End of this part.
