4) Library

Roy finished brushing his teeth and put his toothbrush away, noticing that Ed's was missing. He sighed and headed for the library.

There he was, toothbrush hanging out of this mouth and his nose in a book. Roy snatched the book away.

"Mmm!" Edward leapt up and grabbed for the book, but Roy held it out of his reach.

"Go spit."

Ed growled and stomped off to the bathroom, sucking wetly on the toothbrush before pulling it out of his mouth.

How he could stand to sit and read with a mouth full of toothpaste foam Roy would never understand.

18) Telephone

Edward stared at the payphone. Al was buying food, so he was on his own. When they'd decided to go to Central and become state alchemists they knew they'd be facing the unknown, but this . . . this Ed hadn't prepared for. It wasn't as if he didn't know how—he'd seen the Rockbells use theirs, and this one even had instructions (lift receiver, insert coins, dial number)—but he'd never used one before and the concept of talking to someone he couldn't see was strange.

And Edward really wanted to get a look at the man connected to that deep voice.

25) Beach

"You can't go in the water at all?"

Ed hunched his shoulders. "Salt water's bad for steel. Winry'd kill me."

"I suppose walking on the beach is out."

He shrugged. "Nah—the sand in the joints is annoying, but I can deal with it."

Roy sighed. "I'm sorry, Love. If I'd thought this through, I would have suggested vacationing somewhere else. Why didn't you say something?"

Edward shrugged again. "The town is nice. And the view from the deck is great, especially at sunset. And besides," he said with a mischievous grin, "I get to see you in a swimsuit."

26) Name

"It's not for your automail, you know. Not really."

"What do you mean?"

Roy snaked an arm around his lover's waist as they lounged in bed. "On the day of your test, you ran forward."

"Huh?"

"To save that other applicant. You put yourself in danger."

Ed snorted. "No one else was doing anything. Including you, useless bastard."

Roy pinched his side. "Point is, the Fuhrer commented later, 'that kid must have balls of steel. In fact, I think that's a good name for him.'"

Edward threw his head back and laughed. "Well, shit. That changes the meaning, doesn't it?"

27) Sleeping Face

Roy likes to stay awake until after Edward falls asleep. For one thing, the only time Edward will snuggle is when he's falling asleep. When he's awake he merely puts up with Roy cuddling him. But mostly, Roy likes to watch his face. Sometimes, it's the only way to gauge how stressed he's been. He's too good at hiding it during the day, but the tension will follow him into sleep, keeping his face from relaxing completely. On those nights, Roy will rub his back and shoulders until he sees the frown lines fade, always careful not to wake him.

My favorite was Name. And the reason Mustang didn't act was because of all the hydrogen gas- its all explosive. But I loved the real reason for the name... *cackles*

I'm sure Ed knows that, too. He just can't resist getting a dig in >:). (I'm not sure what Roy could have done about falling stone, anyway, explosive gas or no. Made melted falling stone?)

He go splat. ^_^ That's all he could do.
