''I didn't know I was thirsty, till I met you...''

''You know I didn't get my growth spurt, till I hit Eighteen, and from there I actually grew. So you could imagine I was really short when I was Fifteen.'' Edward said with Roy spacing out as the blonde went on about his interests, as he wrote in the small notebook Roy had given him for his birthday a few days later, ''Hey Roy, do you remember who bit you or no...?'' The blonde asked looking up to see the raven haired male look off in the distance deeply distracted. The new behavior surprised Edward, since the raven haired vampire was never like that, leaning forward to shake his shoulder, ''Hey... Are you alright?...'' He asked seeing Roy finally blink and snap out of it and look at him, like he normally did, ''What...'', ''...I asked you, if you remembered who bit you, and turned you...'' Edward asked again seeing Roy make a face, staying quiet for a long minute, ''No, They're not even around anymore.'' Roy replied with his lie. ''Oh... I see.'' Edward replied tilting his head but let it go closing the small notebook, ''Are you sure you're alright?...'', ''I'm just fine.'' Roy said almost defensively taking the blonde back, making him notice he may have hit a sensitive topic and familiar tone, ''...I'm sorry... I have to go anyways, I have to work so... See you later... Maybe...'' Edward said with an unsure laugh petting Hayate before getting up, and excusing himself making Roy realize his attitude pushed Edward away. ''Edward, wait!... Fuck!'' The raven haired vampire said when Edward had left shutting the door behind him putting his hands to his face, ''Fuck!...'', ''How does he put up with you, with that uncontrollable temper?'' A female voice cut in making Roy quickly sit up and look around, to see no one was in the house, glancing over to the open window, ''I'm losing it... I know I'm losing it!...'' Roy screamed with a conflicted expression, never realizing Edward was leaned against the door making a face, since he had heard everything, piecing together what was going on with the raven haired male. ''Brother, you're back so soon?'' Al asked when hearing the door open,and seeing Edward walk through the door with an unhappy expression, before smiling when he closed the door behind him, ''Yeah.'', ''I thought you were going to spend the day with Roy, since you were off today?'' He asked seeing his brother smile with a laugh, ''Something came up suddenly, so I decided to come back.'' Edward replied seeing his younger brother look at him suspiciously. ''I can tell there's something you're not telling me Brother...'' Al said seeing Ed's face twitch, ''You're over analyzing things Al... Anyways Win in coming over in a bit right, so thought I would come back too, to see how she's been since anyways... It's been a while, you know?''  Edward replied simply going over to sit with his brother, who still looked at him suspiciously before dropping his expression, ''You know for Winry being pregnant, she sure doesn't have cravings...''. ''Really?...'' Edward asked feeling his face twitch again, ''Yeah, she's been the same with her eating... Is that normal?'', ''Well... I wouldn't know... I'm not a woman... But all I can tell you, is that her cravings got passed on to someone else, so no need to worry about it so much...'' He added getting up with his younger brother look at him with a raised brow, ''Do we know them?'' He asked, ''Yes we do... Hey Al, I'll be back... I'm going to change into something else, and take a breather in my room before Win comes here, okay?'' Edward said seeing Al nod. The moment Edward stepped in his room, he heaved a sigh feeling bad for lying to his brother, but didn't have the courage to talk about what occurred between him and Roy, ''He's questioning his existence... No doubt about it... It's almost as if he's becoming almost human again...'' The blonde said to himself putting the small notebook on the desk near his bed taking off his black long sleeved shirt, and tossing it on the bed. ''...I'm still curious about that woman I've been seeing lately... I haven't brought it up with Roy, since he's been kind of ignoring me lately...'' Edward thought looking at the scars on his wrist, making a face before grabbing his familair plain red hoodie he had used the day he first encountered what Roy was, quickly putting it on zipping it up halfway, since it was a bit hot going over to open his window looking out to see the nice view of the city. ''...Nice breeze... I wonder why I never open the window...!'' Edward said with casually shutting his golden eyes before opening them again seeing Roy sitting on his window, making him take a breath panicked putting his hand over his heart backing up, ''JESUS, that's why I never open my window anymore!-?'' Edward screamed only to be cut off by Roy's lips against his and dropping him down on his bed, bringing a blush to his face when the raven haired male pulled away after a long minute and look at him apologetically, with Edward panting softly catching his breath. ''...Let me guess, you're going to apologize... Again...'' Edward asked seeing Roy open his mouth but close it, and make a face exposing his fangs hinting Edward was right, making him sigh when seeing Roy look at him bothered with his dark sharp eyes, seeing Edward look at him with his golden eyes, ''You knew I was off today didn't you... That's why you came after me...'' Edward said seeing Roy make a face and lean his forehead against his, ''Yeah...''. ''What am I going to do with you...'' Edward asked with a sigh, seeing Roy look at his neck immediately making him nervous, ''You should lay off Rose's baking... You're getting heavier...'' Edward said seeing Roy look at him insulted, ''Take that back!'', ''Nah.'' Edward replied with a grin before pausing when the raven haired male looked at him with his dark eyes, inches from his lips, keeping a serious expression with a blush on his face. ''...You're back to your usual horny self, Baby Dracula...'' Edward said softly, seeing Roy look at him a moment, before pressing his lips against his again, pulling away, ''I'm sorry.'', ''I knew you were going to do that...'' Edward said with a sigh, before hearing Al's footsteps, and open the front door, hearing Winry's voice, ''Looks like Win is here, We can either see her or... We can mess around a bit... It's up to you.'' He said seeing Roy thinking about it for a moment, ''No... That can wait... Let's see Winry, it's been a while.'' Roy answered with a smile. ''Hey Al, where's Ed?'' Winry asked after kissing Alphonse backing up with a smile, putting her hand on her now clearly visible stomach, ''Here.'' Edward answered opening his room door and walking out with a smile, ''Jeez, has it really been that long, since I seen you?'' Edward asked referring to Winry's stomach, ''Yeah... Roy sure was right about my stomach...'' Winry answered before jumping up with a scream when feeling someone hug her suddenly. ''Of course, I'm right, I'm always right Winry~'' Roy answered with Al turning to his brother who was already looking at him, ''He came in through my window, before you ask.'' Edward replied with a sigh before turning back to Roy who was hugging his panicked friend happily who was surprised at his sudden appearance, ''Don't give Win a heart attack...'', ''It's alright Ed... He just surprised me is all... I forgot Roy could sneak up on people...'' Winry said with a laugh. ''I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you... I won't do it again.'' Roy apologized getting on his knees and hugging Winry's stomach happily, ignoring Ed and Al who just looked at Winry who just laughed nervously, ''Someone's getting baby fever... You should be concerned Ed...'' She said seeing Edward raise a brow at her, ''That's what I was about to say.'' Pinako's voice cut in making Al and Ed to see the small woman walk in. ''Wait... Who brought you?...'' Edward asked seeing the small woman raise a brow at him, ''She did.'' Pinako answered making Roy snap out of his baby fever, ''You don't mean...'', ''Well that explains why you weren't home.'' Riza's voice cut off making the raven haired male smile in a panic, ''Well... You know how I am...'' Roy answered making Riza roll her brown eyes, ''Mhm...'' Looking over to Edward with a smile. ''Babysitting Roy on your day off?'' Riza asked looking at Edward who laughed putting his hands in his sweater pockets with a shrug, ''Enough about me and Baby Dracula... Win, are you hungry? I can go grab something from the pizza place.'' He offered, ''No, I'm actually not hungry.'' Winry replied, ''It's weird... I would of thought being three months pregnant, I would of gotten cravings... Guess not.'' She said with a laugh seeing Edward make a face. ''Oh... Your cravings didn't go very far...'' Edward said making Winry look at him confused, ''I don't understand...'', ''Kitchen.'' Edward said simply making the group realize Roy was gone, turning to the kitchen to see Roy coming out snacking on some sweets that Edward had hidden for himself, ''Hey! Those were supposed to be for me!'' Edward said going over to Roy who just quickly ran from the blonde, ''Oh... I get it now.... Well looks like Edward is going to have to deal with his baby fever and cravings... We'll talk to them when they calm down.'' Winry said casually sitting on the couch, putting her hand over her stomach. ''So have you thought about a name for the baby?'' Roy asked casually getting Edward grumpy about taking his snacks, ''Mhm... I was thinking of naming her after my mom.'', ''Your mother?'' Roy asked with a few crumbs on his face, with Ed wiping his face, ''Yeah Sarah, my parents died in an unfortunate incident when I was younger so... Might as well name my little girl after my mom.'' She said seeing Roy look at her surprised, at how much she was opening up to him. ''I'm sorry...'', ''No, it's okay. She was a really kind person... So was my dad. But I don't want you feeling bad for me, I actually came here to ask you something.'' Winry said looking at Roy, who now looked confused, ''Well... You and Ed both.'' She added looking over to Al who just nodded, ''We wanted to know, if you two wanted to be our baby's Godparents?'' They both asked seeing the raven haired vampire look at them surprised, with his dark eyes. ''I... You two know what I am... Why me?...'' He asked with Edward closing his phone, ''Well lucky you Baby Dracula- ME?! WHY ME?!'' He said quickly reacting to what his childhood friend said turning to his brother and Winry, ''Of course I know what you are... But that doesn't mean you can't be her Godparent.'' She said looking over to Edward who looked at her confused, ''Ed... It's because I want you to, I know you're not religious but... I really want you to.'' She said simply with both Roy and Ed now looking at each for a long moment surprised. ''So... Will you?'' Winry asked again with a smile with both staring at one another, ''Uh...'' They both said in unison looking over to Riza and Pinako, ''Don't look at us, she's asking you two, not us.'' Both said with Roy and Edward looking back to Al and Winry again, ''So? Will you two accept?'' Winry asked again seeing both the raven haired vampire and Edward finally smile, ''Yeah, sure.'' They finally said making Winry smile in content with a bright smile, ''Yes! You two made my day!'' She said with Al smiling at Roy and Edward.
