Roy stood near a wall still at the party. He would have tactfully left ages ago, but he was still hoping the blonde beauty would reappear. He was, however, forced to give up due to the woman batting her eyes and trying to catch his attention in front of him.
“Roy?” she simpered. He mentally rolled his eyes and her folly and excused himself as politely as he could in this situation. He decided he would look for the girl and leave if he couldn’t find her.
He wandered the halls looking nowhere in particular. A guard emerged from a room down the hall. He was busy locking the door when Roy came up to him.
“Hey, have you seen a gorgeous blonde around here?” he asked. He expected the guard to joke back or be annoyed. Instead, he shifted nervously and glanced at the door he had just locked.
“No,” he said, unconvincingly, “No one is allowed access to this area, so you had better be gone by the time I come back.”
Roy quirked an eyebrow, but nodded. The guard left immediately, waking a bit too fast. Roy rolled his eyes. ‘Well, that sure wasn’t suspicious.’ He looked at the lock on the door before calmly snapping his gloved fingers and heard the sizzle of the lock. He pushed on the heavy door, which opened easily.
Inside it was pitch black and the only sound was a small moan and a string of curses. It came from farther within the chilly, dungeon-like room. He recognized the voice. It was Ed’s! ‘But what would he…’ Roy’s train of thought was cut into by a louder, more obscene line of curses.
“Edward?” he called out in to the darkness. The voice ended in a squeak as the curses halted.
“Colonel Mustang?” came the disbelieving voice in return.
“Where are you?”
“Don’t come any closer!” Ed’s voice was a squeak again. Roy paused in mid-stride. What was going on?! Why didn’t Ed want him to come near? And why did his heartbeat quicken and his chest hurt so much?
“Fullmetal?”
“Erm…Where am I?”
"In The DeManch’s mansion, but what are you doing here in the first place?”
Ed paused before grunting “detective work”. Roy raised an eyebrow. He would have recognized the small alchemist anywhere. He couldn’t have slipped by Roy. Unless…
Then it hit him. “Wait a minute…were you…that girl that I, um…danced with?” He could feel a blush spread across his face.
The silence he received to the question was answer enough. So that’s why the blonde had seemed so familiar! Roy walked toward where Ed’s voice had come from, lighting a small blaze on his palm as he went.
The room he saw in the firelight truly was a dungeon, complete with Ed chained to the wall with his hands above his head in such a way he couldn’t clap. He looked increasingly embarrassed when Roy studied him up and down.
“What?”
“You look very good in that dress, Ed.” Ed just glared and blushed.
“Shut up! Now get me out of here, I got the info I came for!”
“Hmm…” Roy thought for a moment. “What will my reward be?” Roy wanted to play this to his advantage, and the look of outrage on Ed’s face was adorable. Adorable? Never mind, it was.
“Fine! I’ll reward you just…unchain me, please!” he added when Roy didn’t move. Roy smirked and unchained the boy by melting the locks until they opened easily.
“Come along my dear.” Ed glared. “I will escort you away to look less suspicious.” He offered Ed his arm. The blonde looked at it and hesitantly took it, allowing Roy to walk him out of the room
The party was in full swing and no one noticed the pair leave. Roy hailed a taxi and handed Ed in before joining him.
They shortly arrived at their destination, Roy’s house. Ed decided that the briefing could wait until tomorrow. He had recorded the incriminating conversation, so it was alright.
Roy unlocked the door and led Ed to the living room where he stared a fire in the fireplace to warm the freezing room. He stared into the dancing flames, admiring them, until Ed’s voice brought him back.
“Do you want your reward now?” Roy glanced at him to find the blushing alchemist standing much closer than before and staring at his feet.
“Sure, what…”
Ed cut him off by pressing his lips gently against Roy’s. Ed grabbed at his shirt and Roy responded instantly, an arm going around his waist and the other at the back of his head as Roy deepened the kiss, not quite done with his “reward”.
Ed gasped when the colonel nipped his lower lip and Roy took that opportunity to slide his tongue into Ed’s warm mouth, coaxing his tongue into a playful dance. Ed whimpered when Mustang pulled back.
He gazed into the chibi’s half-lidded eyes. “Ed…I…” he started, but Ed stopped him with another kiss and an, “I know, me too.” Roy smirked into the kiss and Ed pulled back, scowling.
Roy began to place small butterfly kisses around Ed’s jaw line and down his neck before returning hungrily to his mouth. The game of dominance began and Roy won.
He moved down Ed’s mouth back to his neck and licked and nipped at his neck, earning a moan from the blonde. Ed pushed him back when he snuck a hand under his shirt.
“Roy,” he began. Roy looked back up at him. Ed was blushing furiously. “Are you sure you’re not just….in the moment or something?”
Roy looked squarely into Ed’s eyes. “I wouldn’t do that…not to you.” He planted a chaste kiss on Ed’s lips before deepening it. Ed clung to him because that was all he could do while Roy kissed him senseless.
“I love you, chibi.” It was a mark of how distracted he was by the kissing that he didn’t even notice the “chibi” remark.
