I hope you enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ed woke up with the taste of vomit in his mouth and had a throbbing headache.

"What the hell happened...last...nigh- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY LIVING ROOM?!" Ed yelled but quickly regreted it, because his head started throbbing even harder. Placing a hand to his forehead, he walked into the living room, to find Roy Mustang sleeping on his couch.

"Huh?" Roy said in a raspy voice, as he rubbed his eyes and sitting up.

"Wjat are you doing sleeping in my house?" Edward said. He was done shouting for the day.

"Ah, yeah. After last night you were pretty drunk, so I took you home and Hughes took Havoc home. You know you let your... nevermind. Go take a shower, you reek of vomit." Ed just held his head in his hands.

"That doesn't explain why you are sleeping on my couch."

"What? You wanted me to sleep in the bed with you?" Ed blushed, but slightly shook his head no.

"I-I'm gonna go take a shower..." Ed slowly walked away. Roy watched as the younger boy walked into the bathroom. He then brought a hand to his lips and traced them.

*FLASHBACK*

Roy had a hand around Ed's waist while they walked down the street. Ed was babbing, and Roy wasn't interested until Ed said something that caught his attetion.

"You know, Colonel. I like someone." Ed snickered. "Yeah, that's right. I like you Colonel." Ed started laughing hysterically. "Shh, sh! Colonel, come here, come here." Roy stopped and bent down lower whenever Ed started tugging on his shoulder. Ed whispered into Roy's ear, "I-I think, I'm gay!" Ed started laughing even harder than before. Roy blushed, but stood up-right and contiued walking toward Ed's apartment.

When they reached Ed's apartment Roy walked Ed to his door, then welcomed himself inside. Roy wanted to make sure that Ed didn't fall asleep without sobering up a little bit first. He took off his shoes and walked into the living room where he found Ed almost asleep on the couch.

"Oi, oi. Ed. Do you drink coffee?" Roy asked bending down and getting a little to close to Ed's face. Ed slowly opened his eyes.

"Yeah." He said in a sleepy voice.

"Come on, lets go make some coffee." Roy said standing up and holding out a hand. Ed raised a hand to grab Roy's, but kept on missing. Starting to get annoyed, Roy used one hand to steady Ed's while his other arm grabbed Ed's hand. Roy slowly pulled Ed up. He stumbled and latched onto Roy's waist. In almost slow motion, Ed stood up on his tippy-toes so he was now eye-to-eye with the Colonel.

"Y-you know.. I've always... I've always liked you..." Ed trailed off on the last part of his sentence as he leaned in and kissed Mustang on the lips. Roy was, of course, shocked at first but then did something that would have normally given him a heart attack: he started to kiss back. Ed started getting into the kiss a little more and licked Roy'd bottom lip, asking for entry. Roy slightly opened his mouth and Ed's tongue began to explore the inside of Roy's mouth. Soon they were fighting for dominance. But before anyone could win, Ed quickly pulled away and ran to the bathroom.Roy heard the younger boy throwing up.

' WHAT THE HELL JUST CAME OVER ME?!' Roy thought in panic. He hoped that Ed wouldn't remember this in the morning. But then again, he kind of liked the kiss. Roy wondered what it would be like if Ed and him were to... he stopped that thought and began to think about other questions. If Ed did remember, would he acknowlegde it? Would he admit to his feelings again? Would he just use the excuse that he was drunk? Would Ed ever talk to him again? Roy stopped the questions running through his head whenever Ed walked out of the bathroom with tears rolling down his face.

"Come on, Edward. Let's get you to bed..."

*END FLASHBACK*

Roy found his shirt and put it on as he walked into the kitchen. He started looking around for some coffee. While on his search he also found some aspirin, leaving some out for himself and some for Ed. Eventually, he found the coffee and began brewing it. Roy sat down and just stared at the table, thinking about the events that happened the night before.

Just about the time when the coffee was done, did Ed come out of the shower. He either forgot that Roy was there, or just hoped he was gone because he came out in nothing but a towel around his waist. Blushing, Ed quickly went into his room to get dressed. Roy found to mugs from a cabinet, and filled both of them with coffee. Ed came out of his room with a shirt on his shoulder, and him trying to braid his hair.

"You made coffe?" Ed asked, raising an eyebrow, and taking a seat across the table from Roy.

"Yeah. Here's some aspirin for you. Try not to do anything to hard today. Hangover's suck, big time. Um, I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Yeah, I'll be going now. See you." Roy said, getting up and walking towards the door.

"Mustang!" Ed said, standing up from the table. Roy stopped and turned to face Ed. "I meant what I said last night, but I would recommend you not say anything. I know I won't." Roy looked at Ed with wide eyes. Then he looked at the ground and nodded, then turned around and walked out the front door.

Roy was seriously pissed off. ' Now what?' Roy thought to himself. He walked down the street toward his apartment. ' DAMN IT! How come he remembered?! What am I going to do now? I have to go Central today, and tomorrow. I know he'll be there tomorrow. SHIT! I'm not sure what to do...' Roy thought on, and on, and on about what he could do to aviod Fullmetal, but didn't really find any way out of it. When Roy reached his apartment, he was more confused than he had ever been in his life. He decided he would take a shower, then probably fall back to sleep.

Roy was just about to get out of his shower when he heard his phone ring. Quickly he grabbed a towel and ran out of his bathroom to answer it.

He picked up the phone.

"Hello?" but all he heard was the dail tone.

Shrugging, Roy walked to his room, got dressed and grabbed a book off his bookself. Walking into his living room, he stopped and looked at the phone, questioning who could have called, then just hung up. Pushing the question to the back of his mind, Roy went and laid down on his couch and opened his book. He began reading, but wasn't really concentrating on it. His eyes were moving over the words, but none of them made sense. To him, it seemed like he was reading a completely different language. He was thinking about the younger blond. Roy wouldn't even admit to himself that he'd thought about Ed that way since Ed had joined the military. Roy thought again about the next day at the office. He thought about what he might do if he saw Fullmetal, and with these thoughts, he fell asleep.

Ed was pacing around his house, thinking about what he should do. He was going to call and talk to Mustang about it, but chickened out after the second ring. Now that Roy knew about him, he wanted to say something to the Colonel, but was afraid to know the answer. Ed didn't remember much about last night. He only remembered, being forced to drink, and the kiss. Ed brought a hand to his lips and left it there. He wondered what Roy thought about him now that Roy knew he was, you could say, bisexual. His headache getting worse from pacing, Ed laid down on his couch and thought about what he should do. He needed someone to talk to. Ed sat up when he thought of someone, but regretted it when his head started throbbing horribly.

"Hughes..."
