Ed was tired. No, scratch that. He was abso-fucking-lutely tired. He may have been immortal, and sleep may not be necessary for him to survive, but damn did the light make him tired. It didn't help that he knew it was going to be a long ass day.
Lupin was already asleep, so he might as well take a nap. He quickly sent a thought to Ouroboros, letting the hor-cat know to just go ahead to the school and wait for him. And with that, he let his head fall back and his eyes closed, sending him into a semiconscious state that was his most common form of sleep. He was awake enough to be aware of danger, so he could still partially hear, but he still got the "benefits" of sleep.
It was a rather uncomfortable position, but he'd relaxed in worse circumstances so it was manageable. That was until the bastard decided to help.
"Tha...uncomfortable...le...help..." he felt himself being pulled down, his head now laying on something more comfortable. The bastard had placed him on his lap, hadn't he? Fucker.
His lap was comfortable though. Damn. He might actually fall into a full sleep like this. He was still awake enough though to notice when the door opened and some kids walked in, although that wouldn't be true for much longer.
"This...available...s." The three kids went on to talk about whatever the hell they were talking about, he didn't really pay much attention. Not that he'd ever admit it, but Ed was more focused on snuggling up to the bastard that had offered him his lap. It'd been forever and a day since he'd last slept, and there would be no point struggling against the natural process already taking place. Besides, he'd need as much sleep as possible, no matter how unnecessary it was, to deal with this favor.
"H...s...cute." Hell no. They. Did. Not. Just. Call. Him. Cute! He cracked open his eyes, glaring at the girl in the trio. There were many a things that Edward Elric would admit to being, but short and cute were not on that list and anyone who dare oppose this would be sorely mistaken.
He began to feel a slight vibration against him. The stupid bastard was laughing at him.
"Looks like you woke the short stack over here." Ed smacked Mustang's leg with his automail hand, snickering at the flinch he felt from the other. Serves him right.
That didn't stop him though from curling back up onto Mustang. He, while it was a scary thought, honestly wouldn't be surprised if he wormed his way completely onto Mustang while he was asleep. The guy was real warm. So, for a heat deprived Dullahan with half his limbs being automail, this was amazing. Ed quickly found himself falling asleep once again in the Bastard's lap.

Roy stared down at the sleeping Dullahan in his lap. His mouth was slightly open, and it reminded him of this morning when he first met the faerie.
He had of course had the faint smell of a Dullahan, but it was Ed's mouth that had actually led to Roy's observation. While it did not stretch from ear to ear, it was larger than a human's. Not large enough to notice without prior knowledge, but larger nonetheless. That and his smell were the only things that have him away as a Dullahan. He had rather odd coloring for a creature afraid of gold and he wore his head as well. He didn't carry it around, but actually wore it. Not to mention how heavy he was. Odd.
"So, how long have you two been together?" It was the bushy haired girl that said this.
He pointed between him and Ed, asking if she was talking about the two even though he already knew. She nodded her head in a 'yes' motion.
"We're not together, miss. We actually just met today actually." She seemed a little stumped by that.
He was about to say something else when Ed stirred a little in his lap. No wanting to wake the other, for some reason, he looked down to check if everything was alright. All Ed did was let out a small whine and move closer to Roy.
