ANOTHER ONE BY
acquisition
Title; On the Inside.
Fandom; Fullmetal Alchemist.
Explanation; This one came about from sheer boredom, and the fact that the idea of Roy and Ed dancing in my head is about ten thousand kinds of sheer adorable. Roy/Ed, once again, and is in Ed's point of view. Sort of.
Notes; Once again, Ed is about seventeen years old in this one. I have a thing for older!Ed with really long hair, so if you don't like it, don't read? Har. This one is a lot shorter than the other as well, and I don't really think it's a one-shot fic, because in my head, the Roy and Ed from the last fic are the same as the Roy and Ed from this one. If that makes sense. Sure it does. I don't really mention where they are, because I couldn't determine an exact location, but there are a lot of other military personnel there besides these two boys.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes watched him as he got up from his chair at the table, going around the end until he’d come to the other side and stopped at you. You didn’t look up at him immediately, because you felt your cheeks grow hot with some form of undeterminable mild surprise or embarrassment, but the appearance of a single white-gloved hand in front of your face forced you to look up. Gold eyes met somber brown ones as your hand slid into his, letting him lead you up and away from your chair, further out into the room.
By this time, few people were paying attention, but the few that were knew you personally. Hawkeye, Hughes, Havoc… so many sets of eyes seemed to be on the two of you, and inside, you wished that it had been the eyes that didn’t know you or your history with this man in front of you, the way you had once constantly bickered so vehemently with him until you were red in the face and had to be carried away by your brother to keep you from slitting his throat. Age, however, had calmed you, and made your boyish charm develop into something that characterized gorgeous. You still didn’t have the height you had so long wished for, but it didn’t matter so much anymore. Being short had its advantages… such as Roy’s arm easily fitting around your shoulders to draw you close.
Or in this particular case, for your head to rest on his shoulder.
He taught you to dance a year ago, right after your sixteenth birthday, while you were still a little inebriated and couldn’t protest. The next night came and while you were sober, you allowed him to start the lessons over, allowing him to teach you this most likely useless skill simply because he thought it might come in handy one day. Like today.
His arms were around your waist, and your own slid up and around his neck. The music created some sense of calm, and you closed your eyes, letting your mind erase the fact that people were staring. He knows it bothers you, and so he had turned the both of you so you would be looking in the opposite direction. You don’t need to thank him for this, because he knows. He knows so much more now than you’d ever intended on telling him, but you don’t mind so much. He’s the one that takes care of you, after all. The one that loves you.
Two short years ago you wanted him out of your life. Now you can’t imagine life without him in it, and it frightens you. Although you don’t realise it, your arms tighten around his neck. More so than the thought of not being able to live without him, the idea of him being taken away frightens you. You almost lost him once, and you aren’t going to let it happen again. But now wasn’t the time to be thinking of all that.
You look up at him, and he smiles. You return it, and for the first time tonight, you feel the same warm happiness fill you inside. Your smile turns into a silly grin, and he laughs, leaning down and kissing the corner of your mouth. You blush again.
“You’re beautiful.”
You don’t respond, but choose instead to hide your face against his neck, stretching up so you can link your fingers together behind his neck. There’s a gentle tug at the end of your ponytail near your waist and you raise one eyebrow, turning your head slightly to look at him. He simply leans down toward your ear, letting a kiss fall there before giving some quiet, elegant-yet-obscene comment about your ass in the pants you wore tonight.
You die a little on the inside but end up laughing anyway, your head falling back and the brightest grin you’d ever given shining on your face. Your right hand comes away from Roy and you cover the lower half of your face with it, hiding the bright red of embarrassment and amusement, then turn to leave the dance floor. He grabs your wrist and pulls you back, and though you give a pleading look to Hughes, he simply laughs and shakes his head.
This was going to be a long night, but you don’t mind so much.
...HAW HAW HAW HAW. Adjust pimping hat.
