Pills and Buttons

Round About

After that little... romp in the sheets, the next two weeks passed without any problem. Ed was slowly managing to get back to his feet, being able to walk a few minutes before his legs would give out. He could smell and see again, both recovered fully. He and Roy made themselves official and now they sit in Roy's office, writing up several reports.

"I think I'm done with missions for now." The one Ed had just finished had really drained him, even if he didn't do any fighting. He had his hair back up in a ponytail, having been too lazy to braid it properly.

"Aw, I'm gonna miss reading your notes at the end of your reports." Roy faked a pout, leaning over and kissing Ed's lips. They tasted vaguely like crackers. "What did you last eat?"

"Uhm..." he rubbed the back of his head, trying to remember. "I want to say dinner last night and crackers a few hours ago." Roy chuckles lightly, leaning in for a second kiss. He was rewarded with what he wanted.

"Fullmetal, sir?" A short brunette appeared in the doorway, snapping to a salute. Ed twisted around in his seat, raising a brow.

"Yes, master sergeant?" He rested an arm back on the chair, leaning against it. "What do you need?"

"There's a call for you from an outer line. Winry Rockbell?" Edward starts to laugh, getting up to follow the Master Sergeant back out into the hall. "I'll patch her through." She clicked her feet together, turning and heading back to the desk.

"I'll be back, babe." Roy smirked at the nickname, shaking his head and scribbling on a piece of paper. Ed walked out to one of the booths, nodding and taking the call.

"Hey, Rockbell. Whatcha need cause I'm really kinda busy."

"Thats's a shame, Fullmetal Runt." The sweet tone of Lust tickled at his ear. "I really wanted to talk with you. How about coffee? Say... now?"

"What do you want?" He swallowed down his yelling about the runt comment, focusing his energy elsewhere.

"Someone you know well. Meet me outside the front doors and I can keep my promise on the coffee." The line clicked off and Ed gulped, replacing the phone. He calmly walked to the Master Sergeant, smiling.

"Tell the Colonel I'm heading for coffee with L." He turned away, slowly making his way down the hall and out the front doors. She was just as slender as he remembered. Her hair was pulled up, pitch black with steaks of red. Ed stood next to her, looking straight ahead as a cup of hot coffee with a spoon of cream was placed in his hand.

"I remembered your kinda coffee, Ed." Lust said, her left shoulder covered by the jacket hanging off it. Her skinny jeans were tight and she almost seemed taller. "How about we take a walk?"
