Roy paced outside of Ed's office the next day. Roy thought that it would be best if he was the one to tell Ed about his father. Later on, Maes had told Roy that the Fuhrer surprisingly wanted Hohenheim to work at Central. Roy thought about how Ed would react. Ed would either A) Flip out, breaking things, B) Start yelling and blame it on Roy, or C) Sit down and silently fume to himself. Roy laughed at that last thought. He could never picture Ed doing that. Taking in a deep breath, Roy stood in front of the door to Ed's office and knocked three times.
"Enter." Ed's voice came. Roy opened the door just enough for him to slip in. Ed stood without looking at his desk, he didn't look up until he heard the clicking of boot heels together. Ed looked up and saluted the Colonel. "Colonel." was all Ed said before he sat down and continued working on the papers that were on his desk.
"Fullmetal. I have something really important I need to discuss with you. But..." Roy took a couple steps towards Ed's desk. Ed didn't look up, but he said, "But what Colonel? What's so important?"
"I don't know how you'll take this..." Roy hesitated. Ed was getting annoyed.
"Just spit it out, Roy! It doesn't matter how I'll take it, just tell me already!" Roy stopped in mid step, and took a half step back. He looked down and the thoughts of how Ed was going to react popped back into his head. 'It's A, I know it.' Roy sighed and looked up at Ed who was finally looking at the black haired man, with an annoyed expression.
"ROY!" Ed slammed his hands on his desk, standing up. Roy's face stayed blank. Ed was pissed off. He was already mad at the Colonel, and it wasn't exactly like his day was going good to being with.
"Fullmetal. Your father, Light Hohenheim, has joined the military-" Roy was broken off when a lamp landed at Roy's feet and heard Ed shout "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ABOUT COLONEL?!"
"FULLMETAL! I'M NOT FINISHED!" Roy had balled his hands up into fists, digging his nails into his palms. Ed was working on Roy's last nerve, as he was for Ed. Ed stopped throwing things and glared daggers at the older man.
"The Fuhrer has assigned him to work here, in Central. BUT!" Roy shouted, cutting Ed off before he could say anything. Ed closed his mouth and continued to glare at the Flame Alchemist. "You will most likely not be assigned any missions with him, since he is not as high a rank as you are. But I cannot promise you on how often you will see him." Ed sat down and huffed like a small child that couldn't get what he wanted. Ed was pissed beyond belief. He wasn't sure what he was going to do with his so-called 'father' suddenly coming back into his life. Ed leaned back in his chair covered his eyes with his automail hand.
Roy studied the younger golden hair boy. He could tell that Fullmetal had been under a lot of stress. Roy had noticed earlier that Ed had bags under his eyes. He also noticed that Ed wasn't smiling as much, and when he did smile, it seemed sad. Ed was never good at covering up his emotions.
"Edward, I'm -"
"Get out, Roy..." Roy did a weak salute and walked out of Ed's office, closing the door quietly behind him. As soon as Ed heard the door click shut, he let one tear roll down his cheek.

Ed went home from work early that day, saying he wasn't feeling well. He slowly walked home, letting the cool air of autumn surround him. Ed stopped walking as an old lady holding a shopping bag passed him. He looked up at the darkening sky. 'It's gonna rain today...' Ed put his automail hand out, as if to catch something, but the 'something' never came. Ed out his hand down to his side and sighed. He stuffed his hands into his coat pockets and walked down the street, watching his feet take him home. He was suddenly very depressed. He thought about how Al would have reacted if he knew that their father was now suddenly back in their lives. Ed stopped walking when he realized that his feet had taken him to the graveyard where Al was buried. Ed sighed again. He walked through the gates and towards Al's gravestone. Ed stopped when he came within a few feet of it. He read the gravestone aloud:
Alphone Elric
1900-1915
Loving friend and brother.
"Hey Al. I just kind of wondered here." Ed said numbly as he stared at the stone. "Guess who's coming back? That bastard that we sometimes call 'dad'." He said, sitting Indian style on the ground. "Yeah, somehow he joined the military. I'm not sure how he got in when exams aren't until spring. He couldn't have gotten in unless he took them last spring and just, never told anyone. Oh well. I'm going to try not to think about it so much..."
Ed leaned over and picked off some of the weeds that were covering the headstone.
"You know. I've been thinking. I know that I promised I'd get you your real body back. But isn't it that we are all like how you were in that suit of armor?" Ed leaned back, straching out his legs and leaning on his hands. "I mean. Everyone dies, and then your body gets decomposed by the earth. So basicly, everyone in the earth is just a soul, temperally using the bodies we have. Weird isn't it? Everyone is just like how you were. Only you did have things to hold you back, like, eating, or sleeping. Nothing like that ever applied to you. You had an advantage that nobody else did, and neither one of us realized that. Heh, how stupid of me..." Ed said, sitting up, pulling his knees to his chest. He heard thunder, then suddenly felt light rain hit the top of his head.
Ed didn't say anything for a while. He just sat infront of Al's grave, getting hit by the rain. He began crying, softly, as not to let the rain know that he was slowly breaking down. Inside out. Ed stood up and said, "I miss you brother. I'll come see you soon." He slowly walked away from the graveyard. It began raining harder as he walked down the street to his house.
When Ed reached his apartment door he heard his phone ringing. "Shit.." He said quietly and quickly tried to unlock his door. When he finally got the door open, he didn't even bother taking off his shoes and went to go answer the phone. "Hello?"
"Edward?" came a familiar voice. Ed gave out an annoyed sigh.
"Roy." he said, irritation dripping from his voice.
"Please, please don't be angry at me!" Roy begged. Ed was accutally a little taken aback. Since when did the Colonel beg?
"What the hell did you do this time?" Ed asked, while attempting to take off his soaking wet and muddy clothing.
"It wasn't what I've done, it's what I'm about to do."
"Oh really? Ow! Damnit!" Roy confused. Those four words where the only thing he heard before he heard a bunch of crashing sounds and a few curses.
"Sorry, what were you saying?" Ed said breathlessly. Roy chuckled.
"What the hell just happened?" Roy said, trying to hide the laugh that started to emerge.
"Eeh, nothing.((A/N: he fell and dropped the phone when he tried to take off his shoes. >.<)) What were you saying?" Ed asked, forgetting to use his irritated tone.
"Um, I was just about to ask you if you wanted to go out with me sometime. You know, like, on a date."
"What?" Ed said, before dropping the phone again, cursing.
