Weet! alright here's another chapter...
"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.
"Yeah, I mean. We, uh..." Roy trailed off, thinking of how to put everything they've gone through in simple words. "We should just spend some time together. So how about it? Tomorrow night, you and me?"
Ed hesitated. He thought about it. "Uh, um. Sure, I gueeesss!" Ed said, falling over for the thrid time into a puddle of mud from his boots. 'DAMNIT, that's enough of that.' He thought to himself. Ed stayed seated this time and grabbed the phone again saying, "Colonel, I'm having a little trouble at the moment, how about I just talk to you tomorrow, alright?"
"Yeah, sure. Don't kill yourself Edward!" Roy said, with a slight laugh. Ed rolled his eyes, even though Roy couldn't see him, and said, "Good night, Roy."
"Good night." Ed reached up and put the phone on its cradel. Ed sat Indain style and put his face in his muddy hands. "What did I just agree to?" Ed questioned himself. Of course he liked the Colonel, but going out on a date? That's a little strange, but yet... Ed lowered his hands to reveal an evil smrik on his face. "This could turn out to be quite amusing..."
Roy hung up the phone, then questioned his own sanity. He liked Ed and all, but he wasn't sure if he could really just do that. "ARRRGH!" Roy said aloud, pulling at his hair. He confused himself. Roy scared himself even more when he started agruing with himself.
Roy got up from his couch and started pacing. "Okay, alright. No problem. This is fine. No, this is a good thing. Yeah. We can spend some time with each other, get to know each other, and maybe, get to know each other better in a different way..." He stopped pacing and looked wide eyed at the ground. "NO NO NO NO! WHAT AM I THINKING?" He pulled at his hair again. "I can't be thinking about that just yet! I mean. Isn't this illegal?" Roy began pacing again. "I mean he's what, 16? And I'm 23. That's..." Roy counted on his fingers. "...a seven year difference! HOLY SHIT!" He said, slightly tripping over a leg of his couch. He sat down. "Oh god, what have I done?" he said covering his face with his hands.

The next day at work, the air was heavy and awkward, and everyone could feel it. Ed was pacing aroung his office, thinking about how he should aproach the Colonel. While in the Colonel's office, he was doing the same thing for Edward. Roy gave up pacing first and marched his way to Ed's office. Ed wasn't paying attention when the Colonel opened the door, and stood in the doorway. He watched as Ed paced around the room, hands folded behind his back, head down. Roy couldn't help but snicker at Ed's apperance. Ed happened to hear this snicker and turned to look at the dark haired man in the doorway.
Ed got angry, "HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING!" Ed blushed whenever Roy walked in and chuckled, closing the door behind him.
Roy suddenly became very serious and looked at Ed. "Are you alright? I meant to ask you last night. You seemed really upset whenever you left yesterday. Is everything okay?" Ed who was standing a few steps away from Roy, looked down at the ground with a small, sad smile on his face.
"Yeah, I guess. I've just been thinking a lot is all." He said, still not looking up.
"It's not like you do that often..." Roy said under his breath.
"What did you say?!" Ed asked, furious. Roy just laughed at the overreacting boy. Ed quickly said, "So what are we doing tonight?" Roy stood shock still. And Ed didn't realize he said that until he looked at the shocked expression on Roy's face.
"Uhm, I'm not quite sure yet, but I have some things in mind. So I'm not gonna tell you, I just wanted to see if I picked you up at 7 o'clock tonight. If that would be alright?" Ed looked at Roy with eyes slightly wider than usual.
"Why aren't you gonna tell me?" Ed said taking a small step closer to Roy. Ed looked up at Roy with pleading eyes. Roy couldn't help but smile at the younger boy. He just looked so cute, just like a little child begging for something in a candy shop.
Roy smiled evilly, "Nope, I'm not gonna say!" Roy said, folding his arms across his chest, looking away.
Ed crossed his arms, and made a 'hmph' sound. "You didn't answer my question, baka." Roy looked down at Ed who was giving him an 'I'm smarter than you and your an idiot for not listening' look.
"Umm, what did you ask me?" Roy asked. Ed sighed.
"What are we doing tonight?"
"You'll find out later tonight. I'll be at your place at 7 sharp. 'Kay?" Roy said, turning around and walking to the door.
Ed took a step toward Roy. "Wait! Just a minute!"
Roy turned around a little, opening the door. "Alright! See ya then!" then he quickly disappeared behind the closed door. Ed stood there and stared at the door for a little, then relaxed and said quietly under his breath, "Baka..."

Ed looked at his clock. 6:58. Damn, the Colonel should be here soon. Shit. Ed thought as he paced infront of his clock some more. What the hell did I agree to! I don't wanna go on a date with Roy! Wait, I take that back. I do want to, but I'm nervous. What if I do something stupid? Ah! Damnit! Ed thought, pulling at his hair. He looked down at himself and wondered if he looked nice enough. He was wearing his normal black, tight pants with a black tanktop with his red coat over top. Basically what he wears any other day when he isn't at work.
"EEP!" Ed jumped whenever he heard the knock on his door. Ed cautiously walked over to his door and opened it. And there stood Roy Mustang. He wore dark brown pants and a white button-up shirt. No, I didn't dress up enough. Or at all for that matter... Ed thought kicking himself mentally.
"So, um, you ready to go?" Roy asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Uh-huh." Ed said stepping out into the hallway of his apartment building, closing the door behind him. "So have you decided where we are going?" Ed asked, finishing up locking his home. Roy just took a few steps forward and said, "Yeah."
"And where might that be?" Ed asked using his smart-ass tone, just to get on the Colonel's nerves. Roy turned and gave Ed an evil smirk.
"It's a surprise." He said with a wink, then contiuned walking. Ed seconded-guessed going on a date with Mustang, but then thought how fun it could be torturing Roy, and spending all his money. Ed ran a few steps to catch up.
"I hate surprises! Can't you just tell me?" Ed pleaded.
Roy gave a side glance toward the shorter boy. "Nope." Ed started to become irritated. "Come on! Just tell me!" Ed moaned.
"You are such an impatient child!" Roy said, knowing that this would set off the little blond.
"WHO YOU CALLING A CHILD?!" Ed shouted at the taller man.
"Thank you for proving my point." Roy laughed. Ed huffed and crossed his arms, but contiued to walk next to Roy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roy had taken Ed to dinner and a play, which Ed throughly enjoyed. After that, they decided that they were going to go to the bar and have a few drinks (well, one drink in Ed's case, haha). They picked a booth and sat down.
"So, why is it that Hohemheim is going to be in Central? Why not East City?" Ed wined to the Colonel.
"I'm confused about this myself, to tell you the truth." Roy pushed some hair out of his eyes. "I just know that the Fuhrer wanted him to work in Central. He made sure that Hohemheim had a place to stay and everything. It's baffeling why the Fuhrer would take so much care in your father." Ed shot Roy a glare as to tell him never to treathim and Hohemheim like father and son ever again. "Oh well. Just don't lose yourself whenever you do see him. I want no unnecessary bloodshed, understand?" Roy said seriously.
"Yeah yeah, I understand. Heh..." Ed smiled evilly, and began plotting Hohemheim's death, without bloodshed.
"Quit plotting things Ed, they aren't gonna work."
"Oh yeah, how do you know?"
"Because I know you, and I know that you don't have it in you to kill anyone."
Damn, he's right. But that doesn't mean I can't get revenge... on both of them... Ed thought wickedly, and began plotting revenge on both that bastard and the other bastard. Their drinks arrived and Ed stopped plotting.
"Hey Roy?"
"Hm?" Roy said into his drink.
"I haven't seen Riza Hawkeye around. Did she go somewhere?" Ed asked before taking a small sip of whatever it was Roy ordered for him.
"Oh? You didn't know? She quit the military and got married!"
"What?! When?"
"Um, the exact date I'm not sure of, but about a month ago. She eloped. I'm the only one that knows she got married. She called me to apologize to me." Roy looked down at his drink with a small smile.
"Why did she apologize?"
"She thought I was in love with her. In a way I was." This hurt Ed a little, but then Roy finished with, "But that in that kind of way. I looked at her like a younger sister, just making sure her older brother wasn't doing anything stupid, or putting himself in danger."
"I know what you mean..." Ed said quietly. Roy mentally threw himself against a wall and started beating himself. He should have known that saying something like that might make Ed sad. Seeings how Alphonse was the same way. "But hey, at least you don't have a gun pressed at your forehead all the time." Ed chuckled. Roy laughed.
"Haha, I guess you're right." Roy said, giving Ed a smile. Ed moved his folded hands so they were out on the table. Roy moved his own hands until they were just about on Ed's, when:
"ROY MUSTANG!" Roy looked up to see two of his friends, Maes Hughes and Jean Havoc.
"Oh hey guys. What are you doing here?" Ed, who had moved to be facing Maes and Jean who were behind him, said. Both Hughes and Havoc looked at Ed in shock. They looked between Ed and Roy, then they looked at each other and Havoc said, "Uh, Ed?"
"Yeah, Havoc?" Just then, the bell on the door rang as it opened. Roy, Ed, Maes and Jean, all turned to see who had just entered. Ed sucked in a deep breath when he saw his father walk into the bar.
"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.
"Yeah, I mean. We, uh..." Roy trailed off, thinking of how to put everything they've gone through in simple words. "We should just spend some time together. So how about it? Tomorrow night, you and me?"
