Fullmetal Alchemist; Taking advantage of his rank.
Setting: Chapter 13 of the manga, pages 30-33
Paring: Ed/Maria Ross.

Resting in bed with one arm broken and a narrow yet lengthy slash across his abdomen, Edward Elric mumbled lowly to himself, "And I was so close to finding out the truth... there isn't time for me to be hospitalized!" unaware that the two soldiers tasked with keeping watch over him and his brother were close enough to hear him. Silently glancing at one another, Maria Ross and Denny Broshs' eyes locked and each nodded their heads with a slight expression of resigned resolve. Snapping to attention, each spoke loudly to catch his attention. "Fullmetal Alchemist, sir!" "Please excuse us for what we will do next!".

Glancing over at them in surprise, Ed barely has time to utter "huh?" before Maria steps forward and her left hand slaps him with a fair degree of force behind it. Head spinning around to the other side and cheek burning red from the impact, Ed's eyes widen and he stares blankly at the wall for several moments in surprise. "Major Armstrong told you so many times not to act on your own, but then you two did it anyway!" she scolds him with narrowed eyes and a sharp tone. "Even when he told you to stay at the inn patiently, because it was dangerous!" Denny chips in, although not with so much emotion in his voice and a more restrained expression. "And on top of ignoring the major's kindness, you almost died!?" she continues as Ed slow rotates his head around to stare at the two of them with the same widened eyes.

"First, recognize the fact that you're still children!" she state's strongly before her eyes soften a little and her voice drops down to more normal levels. "Next, don't try to do everything by yourselves. Please trust the people around you... Can't you put a little more faith in us adults?" pausing to judge his expression as he begins to relax back into his propped up pillows again, the two of them say in unison "That is all." Ed considers their word's with a small frown forming, taking note of the concern yet unwilling to rely on someone else that shouldn't become entangled in the current mess of things. It comes as another surprise when she suddenly says "Please forgive us for our violent actions and words unbefitting that of officers of lower rank!"

"Ah... I understand..." he murmurs softly. Despite that, and the way he has taken this so far, a bead of sweat still runs down Marias face as she asks with a tone of worry "And the punishment for the slap?" "Eh? What has you so worried?" he questions her. Glancing at Denny she responds, "Even though state alchemists aren't regular soldiers, they possess a status that is the equivalent of a major. We could be fired at a single word from you." Still feeling the sting from the slap, a slow grin spreads across his face at the idea that pops into his mind at that moment. 'I guess I've been hanging around Hughes too much lately.'

With a brief glance toward the doorway to make sure no ones hanging around outside, Ed sits upright again and gestures for one of them to help him stand up. Both soldiers step forward and together they walk toward the doors, where Ed motions for Denny to step through them before he presses his hands together as best as he can. The angle isn't perfect, but it's good enough as he slaps them against the set of doors and transmutes them into a wall. Eyebrows meeting in worry Maria looks at him questioningly, but he simply gestures for her to return him to bed. Once he is resting their again he explains. "This way we won't be disturbed." with the same grin on his face as before. Another couple of beads of sweat roll down Marias face as a feeling of unease creeps into her body. "I won't fire you." he adds to try and get her to relax. "Suddenly I'm not so worried about that." she responds.

"Heh. Why don't you join me up here?" he pats the bed beside him. Feeling more trepidation Maria slowly sits down on the end of the bed. "Well, thats a start. I meant closer to me." he says. "Just what exactly do you have in mind as my punishment, sir?" she questions. Ed leans forward and whispers it to her. She flushes as she pulls away, eyes narrowed. "Certainly not! You're still a child!" she exclaims. Ed shrugs. "I'm a teenager." he responds. "Besides, you really shouldn't have slapped a superior officer if you know what was at stake." "Really, your job or a few minutes of two-way pleasure?" he adds.

Feeling slightly ill, she reaches up and begins unbuttoning the top of her uniform. 'I really oughta feel guilty about this... but why spoiler the moment now?' passes through his mind as he focuses on the stripping woman before him. She manages to get the blue jacket undone and slips it down her arms and off, leaving her in a white sleeveless tank-top. Ed motions for her to slide up beside him on the bed and she does so after a few moments, pausing to untie her boots and slip them to the floor. Ed runs his left hand along the edge of her shirt and gently tugs it up to reveal a well toned stomach. As his finger tips dance along the surface of her skin her cheeks begin to glow brighter. He pauses to tug her shirt up further with a low flush of his own as the pale white flesh of her breasts is exposed to him. He doesn't hesitate to run his fingers over the first, gently caressing the flesh beneath them and savoring the softness.

She lets out a low gasp as his fingers trace over the rosy pink taunt nipple, the cool air of the room doing its job. He trails back down to cup it from beneath and gently mold the smooth flesh, enjoying the feel for the first time in his life. Maria breaths a little faster from his actions as she tugs her shirt up higher and finally stretches her arms over head to tug the material off altogether. Ed grins at her for it, tugging his eyes away from the feast before him. "You're so damn cute right now." he says with a hint of lust deepening his voice. She glances away from him at the compliment and sets her arms back against the mattress. Shrugging at her lack of response Ed drags his hand away from her breast and begins sliding it back down her stomach to dip beneath the waist band of her pants and the white panties below them.

She stiffens as his fingers brush up against her clit and a restrained moan slips past her lips. Ed glances up at her face to judge her reactions to his wandering fingers and can't help but smirk as they slide downward to discover the growing dampness at her nether lips. When he dips a finger inside her resolve cracks and she grabs his hand to still it, turning to look him in the eye. "Please, don't do this any further!" she pleads. Ed's smirk slides off his face at the tone of her voice and the sight of a tear welling up at the corner of her eye. "... alright." he agrees after a few moments, drawing his hand out of her and out of her pants as well, reaching up to sniff at and then lick the juices off. She lets out a relieved breath and begins sliding past him when his arm snakes around her waist and holds her in place.

"How about this, then.." he begins as he leans in and begins kissing the back of her neck tenderly. Maria shivers as his lips pass over a sweet-spot. In between kisses he speaks to her, "Just..." "Stay.." "Nearby.." "And..." "Stroke.." "Me.." with every second word he returns to that sweet-spot and earns another moan from her. She leans back against his chest partially as he guides her right hand with his own down to his boxers and up against the surprisingly large size straining against them. Flushing every bit as brightly as she herself is, Ed begins gently rubbing her stomach with his left hand. Her fingers slowly rub against his manhood through the silken material and she can't resist turning her head to look down and verify what her fingers are telling her. A small gasp escapes her and she pulls away from his lips to give it a fuller look. Ed's smirk returns as he lets go of her to drag his boxers down to his thighs and let his straining cock free.

"Even I'm impressed by the size." he murmurs to her as he once again guides her hand to it and lets out a low hiss as her cool hand wraps around his burning hot dick. Seeming almost transfixed at the sight before her, she nearly jumps when he resumes his kisses, only this time trailing down from her neck toward her chest. She looks down into his eyes and receives another surprise for the day, seeing the glint of raw lust swimming in and out of his eyes yet held back by an iron will of control. He maintains eye contact with her as he keeps going lower until at last he takes her nipple into his mouth. She breaks eye contact first and leans her head back, finally beginning to run her hand up and down along his length with another shiver as her panties grow even damper with her juices flowing outward.

Ed's tongue roams across the expanse of pale flesh as he moves along to the abandoned twin peak and begins making up for the lack of attention, cupping it from below as best he can with one hand. Maria can't contain the low noises of pleasure slipping free, and nor does she want to as she dips her other hand below the waist band to finish what Ed had started before. Her fingers dip inside, two and than three with ease at how wet and lubricated she is right now. Her breath picks up as her eyes become half-lidded and her ministrations to Ed's cock pick up, sliding up and down more rapidly. He groans around her breast as his balls tighten and he thrusts upward into her hand a couple of times before his seed spills out along her hand, lubricating things and allowing her to stroke him even faster.

The gooey material, the attention to her chest, and her own fingers dipping in and out of her pussy finally push Maria over the edge as she releases his dick to wrap her arm around the young man before/beside her, her inner-walls clenching and releasing tightly and again and soaking her panties with a flood of cum as she attains her orgasm, a loud gasp escaping her followed by several sharp breaths of air. Slowly relaxing her taunt muscles she relaxes and leans into Ed as he himself leans back and straight again. Slowly she drags her other hand free of her pants and rests her head on Ed's left shoulder. He can't help but grin again as he asks her "How was it?" Her eyes flutter open after closing in the moment of climax and she pulls back enough to stare him in the eyes with a small frown. "... punishment served?" she asks him in turn with a weary voice. Before Ed can respond, the wall he had transmuted explodes inward and sends them both jumping upward and spinning toward it.

Alphonse stands in the clearing dust with his hands set to use further alchemy should it be needed. "Brother!" he calls as he steps forward and pauses at the sight before him. Several sweat drops form on the outside of his helmet and roll downward as Maria lets out a low scream and shields herself behind Ed. "Er... I'll.. um... sorry!" Al exclaims as he backs out and turns away.

A/N: And that's that. Just a little oneshot idea that pestered me while re-reading Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 13 this morning and seeing the potential for Ed to use his rank for some fun. We might see a sequel some day considering Ed never actually answers her own question at the end :)
