And day by day
Every second counts
I can't break away...''

''Roy Mustang, You're finally showing your tattoo again.'' Riza said the next day seeing the raven haired male sigh and stretch, seeing he was dressed in a white sleeveless shirt, blue jeans and a pair of black boots making Riza make a face, seeing a hickey on his neck, ''Yeah... I kind of got sick of covering it.'' Roy said looking over to Riza, who just kept looking at him, ''Where are you going dressed like that?'', ''...You know, don't you? Why are you asking...'' Roy asked with a softer expression. ''I didn't want to put you on the spot that's why.'' Riza said with a smile seeing Roy look away flustered, ''You're worried about Edward aren't you?'', ''Yes! He just left so suddenly, when we fell asleep, he didn't even give me the chance to ask if he was okay!...'', ''It was his first time... Relax. I'm sure he didn't mind one bit.'' She reassured seeing Roy make a face, surprising her since he never worried about people he slept with in the past, ''Maybe he just needs to time to take it in.'' Riza said. Roy just made a face running his hands through his dark hair, ''Like hell, I'm leaving things like this, see you later.'' He said pausing when Riza called to him again, ''At least have this before you leave.'' She said holding a fresh blood pouch up seeing the raven haired make a face, ''...I'm good right now... Maybe later, thank you though.'' He said before leaving, leaving the female caretaker in silence, ''I wonder if Al and Winry know already...'' She said to herself. ''My body hurts... But regardless... I'm happy.'' Edward thought at work making the usual coffee orders, dressed in a striped red and white shirt, red bandana around his neck to cover up the hickeys, dark jeans, usual boots, this time with his hair down and a the Captain's hat from the night before with Roy, ''You seem like a new person Ed.'' A voice said making the blonde turn seeing his German co-worker put an empty cup down, and look at him with a smile. ''Do I?'' Edward asked with a nervous smile and blush, ''Mhm, and I can bet it has to do with a certain somebody~'' Alfons said pausing when catching a glimpse of a hickey peeking from the red bandana, ''Oh my god...'' The German said seeing Edward smile with a flushed expression, ''...I understand now... Just please, take it easy on yourself today okay Ed?'' Alfons asked with a smile fixing the bandana, before getting back to work making Edward smile to himself. Edward went back to working on coffee orders with a smile on his face pausing again smiling with an even more obvious smile, speaking without turning around, ''Nice to see you Baby Dracula.'' He said simply making the German turn to see the surprised dark haired male standing at the counter, ''...How did you know I was here, if...'', ''I've been with you long enough to know when you're around.'' Edward replied turning to Roy with a smile, who looked at him with a quiet expression. ''Hey... You want a coffee, or you're good?'' Edward asked casually, ''No... I came here to talk to you.'', ''...I know what this is about... Wait for me outside yeah?'' The blonde said with the German going over and putting his hand over Ed's shoulder, ''How about you take the day off, Rose is coming in and working with me for the rest of the day anyways.'' Alfons said seeing Roy's hickey, but more surprised at his tattoo, ''But...'', ''No buts, just go and take it easy.'' The German said again. ''Alright... Wait for me Baby Dracula.'' Edward said walking off leaving Roy standing there with his arms crossed and a serious expression, ''I wished he stopped calling me that...'', ''I take it he calls you that because of those?'' The German said pointing to Roy's fangs that were peeking a bit, not really bothering Roy since he was getting used to his fangs retracting out on their own, ''Yeah...'' He replied with a smile seeing the German quickly make the coffee orders and put them on the counter, calling out for the customers. ''So...'', ''Hmm?'' Roy said turning to see Edward's German co-worker looking at him with his blue eyes, holding a Frappuccino towards him, ''Oh no, I simply couldn't.'', ''It's on me.'' Alfons said with a smile, ''Actually can I ask you something... The night I saw you-'', ''Next time Rose, I promise! I need to leave!'' Edward's voice interrupted making Roy smile artifically at the sound of Rose's voice, cutting his and Al's conversation short. ''You said we would go out though.'', ''I know but... I really need to go.'' Edward said walking out from the back door the tanned girl following behind him, ''Here we go again...'' The German said with a sigh, ''Are you with someone already Ed?'' Rose asked seeing Edward get nervous and Alfons step in, ''Rose, if you have time to flirt, than you have time to work-!?'' Alfons said but paused when Roy spoke up suddenly. ''Yes actually... Edward and I are DATING. As if you couldn't tell from the hickeys on his neck.'' Roy said casually making Edward blush heavily surprised at what he said, seeing Rose look at the raven haired male who smiled at her forcibly and artificially, ''So sorry he's taken by me... He's mine.'' Roy added with the German looking over to Edward who looked at him surprised at what he said about them, since he made it clear to him that they were just lovers and nothing more, ''Didn't take Roy as the jealous type...'' Was all the German mouthed to him when he looked over to him. ''Roy Mustang! What has gotten into you!-?'' Edward questioned when they had left, and were walking through the park, ''Shut. Up.'' Roy immediately cut off with an annoyed expression turning to the blonde who just stiffened up at new tone and expression, about to apologize but pause when seeing Roy sigh and drop his expression, and lean forward to hug him suddenly surprising the blonde even more when Roy spoke again, ''I'm sorry but... I meant what I said back there...''. ''...You sure you didn't damage anything last night?...'', ''No... Speaking of... You left suddenly before I could ask if you were okay... Is your body alright Edward?'' Edward heard the usually serious male ask, making him drop any anger he felt towards Roy about his jealous possessive behavior earlier heaving a sigh, and smiling a bit, ''That's all this is about?...'' He said with a small laugh feeling the raven haired male nod. ''...My body is just really sore, since you didn't give me much of a break, but that's what I expected from you to be honest other then that...I'm fine.'' He said hearing silence on the other's end, ''I'm glad you're okay...'', ''Hey Baby Dracula... Remember that deal you made with me a while back?'', ''...What about it...'', ''Still think humans are primitive and weak?'' Edward asked with a grin when Roy was facing him again, making a face at what he said and walk away from him with a huff, ''I wanna check on Winry, let's go.'', ''H-Hey! You didn't answer my question! Give me an answer!''. ''You know Pinako... Edward works today right?...'' Al said at his place looking over to the older woman who sat next to the expecting blonde, and Roy's caretaker, ''He's right Grandma...'', ''I know you two aren't telling me something about that boy, plus there's something you're keeping from me about this Roy he's seeing... He's a male too, but what's this about him not being human?'', Pinako asked with Al, Winry, and Riza looking at one another, ''...Pinako... You know my little... Hobby right?...'' Alphonse started simply seeing the older woman look at him serious, ''The vampire one? Of course.''. ''Hey, you still haven't answered me!'', ''I think Riza giving you a spare key is more important than that dumb question.'' Roy said with an annoyed expression, his fangs still peeking out as he followed behind Edward into his and Al's place, ''Would you prefered if I stayed the night with you!?'', ''Yes actually! It only makes sense to stay with the person you slept with!-?!'' Roy said turning to Edward when the door closed, but froze when he felt someone suddenly grab his shirt collar pulling him down, and putting their finger over his lip revealing his fangs, looking down to see a small woman looking at him with a serious expression, and a raised brow. ''W-What the hell...'', ''Well... Well... Nice to finally meet you Roy Mustang.'' Pinako said not bothered by what he was, letting go of the raven haired male who looked confused, ''E-Excuse me?...'', ''Edward, you never told me, he was older than you but good looking.'' Pinako said turning to Edward who was flustered, ''What are you doing here...'', ''Can't I visit?'' Pinako asked with a raised brow seeing Edward fix his bandana. ''Besides, by the looks of it, it looks like I came around at the right time.'' The older woman said turning to Roy who was mouthing something to his Riza in confusion, ''I see... She really is the one that watches over you.'' Pinako said looking over to Riza who smiled nervously, ''Why today...'' Edward said looking over to Roy who looked backed at him confused, ''Edward... Help?...'' Roy mouthed to Edward who shrugged mouthing back, ''I don't know, I'm sorry...''. ''I thought you were supposed to be working?'' Pinako asked seeing Edward force a smile on him, ''Yeah... But something happened... But seriously... When are you leaving...'', ''Aren't you just inviting today...'' The older woman said glancing over to see Roy moving closer to Edward, ''Edward...'', ''Not much of a talker huh?'' Pinako asked the raven haired male who just smiled nervously, ''Well... You kind of did molest me and invade my personal space...''. ''Now you know how I feel...'' Edward mumbled glancing away crossing his arms before glancing back to Roy, ''Roy... This is Pinako... She raised Al and I when we were younger... She's like an aunt to us.'', ''Nice to meet you Ms. Rockbell... I didn't mean to be rude it's just that...'', ''I'm just wondering why the boy didn't trust me enough, to introduce you to me... You seem like a good man... Inhuman... But good.'' Pinako said simply. ''You wanted to see Winry right?... Go, I can talk to this one here.'' Pinako said looking over to Edward who just made a face, ''I'm disappointed that you couldn't trust me...'' The older woman said but sighed, ''By the looks of it, you seem satisfied with your decision, you like him... Am I right?'' She asked with a smile seeing Edward finally lighten up, ''Yeah... I just don't think he sees it... He's too dense to see it.'', ''Quite the contrary... You don't believe me but... You're changing him, without him realizing it.''. ''Getting senile so soon?'' Edward huffed looking over to Roy who was on his knees, hugging Winry's stomach happily, ''I can't wait to meet you, so I can spoil you~'', ''Roy... you can't see my stomach yet...'' Winry said with a sigh, ''You'll see it in a few weeks, I promise~'' Roy said with a smile, making Riza sigh putting her hands on her hips, ''That lover of yours is getting baby fever... Didn't take him as the kids type.'' Pinako commented, ''Neither did I... And he's my boyfriend now... Just to correct you Pinako...'', ''Really? I'm just wondering how a skeptic like you ended up with someone of his kind...'', ''It's a long story, believe me...''.
