’t own FMA don’t make me tell on you. I swear I’ll do it
Roy and Mary woke up on Christmas morning, unlike everyone else calm and relaxed unlike most of the other family suites that were buzzing with the laughter and delighted squeals of small children. Roy and Mary exchanged gifts. Roy giving Mary a silver bracelet with a heart shaped charm on it that was engraved with her initials that were splayed across a cross that was also engraved into it. And presenting her with a charm that was an exact replica of her circle only very tiny. Mary gave Roy a bracelet with a small ruby studded in the small metal plate that said Flame Alchemist on it. It seemed strange that they had similar gifts probably because Roy had found where it was and got his idea from her. When he saw the bracelet he was pleased with it but after thinking on it he asked Mary something on their way to his office.
“Now this isn’t women’s jewelry is it?” raising an eyebrow at Mary who was happily fondling with the cross around her neck.
“Sam Thompson made it. He specializes in masculine jewelry, Roy. Chill out” she replied with a slightly annoyed look on her face, while she tucked the cross beneath her hooded sweatshirt. Roy nodded and smiled as they continued down the hallway towards the offices where they would meet with the subordinates’.
When they reached the offices, they found Havoc already getting a buzz off of eggnog and Armstrong flexing in the mirror while Hawkeye and Ed talked to each other in light conversation. Fuery greeted them when they entered.
“Merry Christmas!” he smiled broadly. A smile that just made you want to smile back at him. Mustang and Mary walked past him smiling and made their way over to Hawkeye and Ed. When the two caught sight of Roy and Mary, Hawkeye began to talk to Roy and, Ed blushed when he saw Mary. She along with everyone else in the room looks like they dragged themselves out of their beds just so they could be here on Christmas mornings but Ed thought she looked cute with her sleepy eyes messy ponytail and too big sweatshirt with her black sweatpants. She yawned loudly before joining him in a hug and him secretly sneaking a kiss to her cheek without the knowledge or consent of Roy.
“So how did you sleep?” he asked her handing her a glass of eggnog.
“What is sleep?” she asked sarcastically rubbing her eyes and then sipping at her eggnog. Everyone in the office space went around the room chatting randomly and drinking their eggnog and trying not to notice when Havoc began to sing various Christmas jingles quite badly. He eventually pulled Mary over to his side and convinced her to sing ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ with him. As they sung together they grabbed the attention of everyone else some even coming down the hallway from their offices to see. Many took notice that Mary had an exceptionally nice singing voice. She didn’t really have an identified singing style you could her singing soprano high notes and alto low notes which most considered a great talent. Halfway through the first chorus she grabbed Ed and he began to sing with her, their voices blending in together but still being able to identify Mary’s voice a little better than the rest. When they were done everyone clapped and went back to their conversations and those that had come from down the hall didn’t waste their energy going back and just blended in with the subordinates chatting in the same manner as those that had been there before them. Mary and Ed still remained together talking about random things like: alchemy, sports, other holidays, alchemy, music, media, alchemy and then somehow they got onto the stereotypical ways of the citizens of Amestris but their conversation was mostly about alchemy. After a while Ed pulled out a gift for Mary but she remembered something and shoved it back into his hands.


“No, I’m sorry don’t give it to me yet, let me get yours” she said turning away from Ed.
“I can’t believe I forgot it. Hey Roy!” Ari yelled motioning Roy over and then whispering in his ear. When he heard what she had to say his expression changed to one of pure humor he then stood up straight and said.
“We’ll be right back we uh…. Forgot something back at the place where we sleep and live and stuff” walking out of the room with Mary and heading down the hallway.
“I can’t believe we forgot the presents!” Mary said as they paced down the hallway.
“I know you were so excited about, giving presents to all the subordinates and then you forgot” Roy replied.
“Hey some of those gifts were from you!”
“So it was your idea!”
“Whatever! But we need to talk” Mary yelled then announced in a slightly lower tone. Roy just looked at her in worry.
“Who’s the father?” he said in a faked serious tone watching as Mary’s eyes widened and her hand clenched in a desperate attempt to not hit him.
“I wanted to talk to you about rules” Mary said changing the subject before her fist ended up in his mouth.
“Rules?”
“Yes like guidelines we set for both of us to make sure of no embarrassments or mishaps”
“Go on”
“Well I know of your reputation as a playboy and-”
“Wait, what?”
“Since we both know that you have an active life in the same but not the same sense as I do I think we should set some rules”
“Okay”
“First, no randomly brining girls home if I happen to have a friend over for studying after school I would like to know in advance so we don’t walk in on you and who ever might be in your company”
“Okay well then. I’m not being cruel but no sex” Roy said bluntly hoping Mary wouldn’t jump him.
“For you?”
“For you”
“Oh ok. Well another rule no fraternizing with my friends. None whatsoever. I will disown you if you make any babies with anyone I have class with” Mary said making it clear that this certain thing would not be tolerated.
“Ok um no boy’s period I don’t want to be a grandpa I barely got this other stuff down, you know how difficult you can be?”
“Isn’t no sex enough? I don’t think there’s any other way I could get myself in that position” Mary defended.
“I was a young man once. I know how they think and I don’t trust them. So if you do meet a boy I want to meet him before any eye contact occurs whatsoever” Roy said slightly threateningly causing Mary to sigh.
“Well then Mr. man male knows everything you get a curfew” Mary replied as she trotted down the hallway swinging her hands behind her back.
“Wait. I’m new to all of this parenting stuff but isn’t it me who distributes the curfews and guidelines?” Roy questioned thinking over this conversation they were having in of all places a hallway.
“Well see with me we have to make agreements nothing directly goes into order without the others consent. And you can also distribute a curfew but I’m giving you one so that you don’t end up gallivanting all over town on a school night. You asked for this responsibility and you’re gonna get all the good and an equal amount if not more bad aspects of being in your position” Mary replied.
“Ok Ms. Brain, I see what you mean. I will agree to follow all the rules you set so long as you follow mine. Oh and one more thing” Roy said stopping as he put his hand on a doorknob and brought out a key to unlock it.
“What?”
“You will not go anywhere unless I know and approve it in person.” Roy said with probably the most serious face you’d ever see on one person.
“Deal” she replied holding out her hand and having Roy shake it as he opened the door to their dorm suite and turned on the light. When this occurred a large black blur ambushed them. A large, more along the lines of fat man brought Roy to the ground on his stomach with his arms behind his back. And a woman with dreadlocks grabbing Mary and wrapping her arms around the girls neck.
“So we meet again” the woman whispered in her ear causing Mary’s eyes to widen with horror watching Roy writhe and choke over the cloth stuffed in his mouth to stifle his screams as he was pinned to the ground. Mary felt the aromatic kiss of Chloroform in a cloth cover her mouth and nose, and losing ability to move and then having her vision blur as she passed out. Her last sight of Roy pinned to the ground with horror and fear in his eyes stilled in her mind.
