Dark:
"good you jerk!" Al yelled, his voice trembling. "it's
what you get for being insensitve and stupid!" he was trembling.
"how could you think that i..." oh he was too mad to even
think right now. he was gonna leave. he needed to apologize to
Roy-san anyway. and see if the man was okay.
Havoc shook his
head and pulled him against him. he held Roy tightly to himself, his
hand in Roy's dark hair. "it's all right. whatever it is. it's
all right."
For-Chan:
Ed's too busy whining about his eye to really pay attention to Al
anymore. He really is insensitive and incredibly
self-absorbed.
"No!" Roy gasped. "It's not all
right and it's not going to be all right!" He pushes at Havoc.
"It's never going to be all right!" He says
frantically.
Dark: Havoc holds
at him tighter. "c'mon down!" he said. "Roy, stop
struggling and calm down."
For-Chan:
"Let me go," Roy says, still
trying to push Havoc away. "Please just let me go."
Dark:
Havoc bites his lip but does release him, somewhat. he's still
holding to Roy's shoulders but Roy's at arm's lenght. Havoc look
straight at his face. "what the hell happened?"
For-Chan:
Roy shakes his head. "It's nothing.
Don't worry about it. I..I'm just going to go home now. It's fine."
He babbles, not looking at Havoc, instead, looking around to find the
damn car. Why can't he remember what car it is? Probably because his
grandmother trades their car in every other week!
Dark:
"that's bull, Roy. something is obviously the matter! you won't
even look at me!" Havoc said squeezing his shoulders.
For-Chan:
"I'm fine," Roy insists. He
turns back to him and looks at his chest, but not higher. "You
don't have to worry about me. I just...lost the car is all."
Dark:
Havoc snorts but doesn't say it. they both know that's a piece of
bull. Havoc squeezes Roy's shoulders. "fine. well... are there
any landmarks you remember?"
For-Chan:
Roy thinks back to this morning. It
seems like years ago. When they got out of the car, Ed complained
about having to walk for eternity to get to school. so it wasn't
close. "I think...we passed a fire hydrant on the way."
Dark:
Havoc nods and starts walking towards one of the fire hydrants he
remembers in the area. "it's probably this way."
For-Chan:
Roy goes along with him, following
quietly. Havoc is so helpful and yet he feels bad for taking
advantage of that helpful nature. Hell, he feels like the worst
person on earth for using the Alchemist to get closer to Havoc. He's
such a disgusting person, how can Havoc still be nice to him?
Dark:
Havoc turns his head to glance at Roy before looking away again. he
can't fathom what could be bothering him... unless, "did the kid
do anything?" he asked
For-Chan:
He sighed and shook his head. While it
was Ed that brought it up, he hadn't said too much more than what Roy
was already thinking.....Ok, so maybe he ripped open a gaping wound
where before had just been a scratch, but he couldn't blame Ed
completely. Ed was just a stupid kid. He was an adult, he should know
better than to play these games.
Dark:
"you were fine this afternoon," he said. he was
worried!
For-Chan:
Roy laughs. He was more than fine. He
was fucking floating. He was so damn happy after the monster attack
was over and Havoc fed him and kissed him. He was completely elated
and then reality all came crashing down on him. The reality of it was
that he was just stringing Havoc along. That relationship just
couldn't exist. He'd end up really hurting Havoc in the end and he
just couldn't do that. He was too nice, and as much as he wanted him,
he just couldn't continue to use him. He had to set him free. "Yeah,
and I'm still fine now. Still breathing. Heart still beating.
Perfectly normal."
Dark:
"yeah, and moping about something," Havoc pointed out.
"which, though it is perfectly normal, it's not
pleasant."
For-Chan:
"It's something I need to mope
about." He sighs. Up ahead he spots the car. A big black sedan
with vanity plates that say "diva". No wonder he wanted to
forget he drove that thing in. "There's the car," he said."
Dark:
Havoc shoved his heads into his pocket, raising an eyebrow at the
diva. "all right then, diva," he begins. "i'll let you
mope, but if you mope for too long i shall be forced to take drastic
action. you don't want drastic action."
For-Chan:
"No, we don't want that." He
simply couldn't take Havoc coming over and trying to cheer him up
again. It would be too much. "Thanks, I'll see you
tomorrow."
Dark:
Havoc sighed at the brush off. "okay, i'll see you tomorrow."
he paused by the car, nodding.
For-Chan:
Roy pulls out his keys and goes over to
the car, pressing the button that unlocks it and climbing in behind
the wheel. "Bye," he says again, before pulling the door
shut. Inside the car with it's darkly tinted windows and sense of
security, Roy finds that he just can't hold it in. Looking out at
Havoc standing by the car, he lets out a choked cry as tears start to
roll down his cheeks.
Dark:
(awww drama)
For-Chan:
(*nods* Roy torture ^_^;; )
Dark:
Havoc's worried about Roy, especially because he feels like he can't
help. it's strange Havoc realizes as he turns and starts to walk
away, as much as he's cared about friends before... he's never been
so worried. He's only know Roy for a short while and he feels quite
attached to him, more so than he did for his oldest friends. if his
oldest friends didn't want to talk, he'd leave them alone. Havoc
feels like he shouldn't for Roy.... maybe it's different in Roy's
case. maybe it's because Roy sort of seems to always be in need of a
hug...
For-Chan:
Roy rests his head on the steering wheel
and cries. Hot angry tears, burning guilty tears, painful anguished
tears. They all stream down his face as his body shakes with gasping
sobs. He hates himself so much right now.
Dark:
he probably stays like that for a while, uninterupted. until there's
a knock on his window and there's Al. he's peering into the car even
though he can't see a anything.
For-Chan:
Roy looks up, surprised. He wipes at his
face that's all damp and stiff from the tears. He pulls down the
mirror and looks at himself, face red and eyes puffy. His nose is
running. It's obvious he's been crying, but he can't just make Al
stay out there. Wiping at his face again, he reluctantly opens the
door.
Dark:
Al slips into the passanger's seat. he shuts the door and looks over
at Roy. he feels horrible instantly. "Roy-san...." but he's
not sure what to say.
For-Chan:
Roy shakes his head. "Please don't
say anything. It's not your fault and you have nothing to apologize
for." Feeling a little more composed, he finally slips the key
into the ignition and starts up the car.
Dark:
"i know," Al said. "it's all my stupid brother's
fault, who has absolutely no idea what he's talking about because
he's stupid."
For-Chan:
Roy sighs. "It's not all his fault.
It was my fault first. He just stumbled onto the truth of the
matter." He backs the car out and starts the drive home, idly
hoping that Ed will get attacked by bums or picked up by police or
something.
Dark:
(http://cristgaming.com/pirate.swf)
Dark:
Al shook his head. "he was being naty about it and purposely
trying to hurt you," Al pointed out. then he leaned back in the
seat. "i don't think what you're doing is very smart either
though. but it's not like i can't understand...." he closes his
eyes, thinking about his stupid brother.
For-Chan:
(O_O! I am a pirate XD)
For-Chan:
Roy sighs. Of course it's not right.
It's completely wrong and he's beginning to regret that he ever gave
into the temptation. Suddenly, one of the best days of his life is
one of the darkest moments as well. When they get home, he goes
upstairs and locks himself in his room.
Dark:
Al follows him, standing outside of Roy's room. damn the guy's fast.
"Roy-san, locking yourself in here isnt' going to do
anything."
For-Chan:
Roy doesn't answer and doesn't open the
door. He's gone into brooding mode. He stripped out of his clothes,
crawling into something more comfortable, he crawls into bed, pulling
the covers over his head.
Dark:
"Roy-san, you could just work very hard at making him fall in
love with you," Al said. "i know there's a difference
between accepting and being gay. but what will it hurt to push that
boundry. he likes the Alchemist right? you're the Alchemist! he likes
*you*"
For-Chan:
Roy shakes his head. The logic of a
child is so simple. It sounds so easy, but it's not. Havoc is
straight. He likes the Alchemist because he thinks she's a cute girl.
He hasn't gotten to know her, so it's not like his like is based on
personality. He just has a crush on a cute girl and Roy is certainly
not a cute girl. He's a guy. And despite how he occassionally acts
and dresses, he's just not Havoc's type. He saw how weirded out Havoc
was by his room. It's just not meant to be.
Dark:
Al sighed. "fine, then, give up and mope. because that's really
going to accomplish anything." he turned to leave.
For-Chan:
And he does just that. Not coming out of
his room once until its time to go to work. He's dressed nicely, but
his face shows the fact that he didn't sleep at all quite clearly.
He's glad to see that Ed's still not home and he's quiet throughout
breakfast, only speaking to tell Al to get his things so they can go
to school.
Dark:
Al follows him, worried about his brother even though he's pissed at
him. "so what are you going to do?"
For-Chan:
"I'm going to go to school and do
my job." Roy says, deliberately not answering the question that
Al is really asking.
Dark:
Al sighs. "you're braver than that," he answers.
For-Chan:
"It's not as clear cut as you seem
to think it is. I know what I need to do and I'm going to do it."
Roy says as they get to the car and he unlocks the doors.
Dark:
he slips in and waits for Roy to do the same. "i'm not saying it
is. but what can you lose from trying to make something out of his
situation?"
For-Chan:
Roy gets in. "I could lose a very
good friend. I could lose his respect in me, which is pretty much the
same thing. I have a lot to lose. It's something that every gay guy
needs to learn early on. Don't fall in love with a straight guy.
Don't try to turn a straight guy. You're only going to hurt yourself
and him in the end." Making sure Al's buckled up, he sets off
for school.
Dark:
"but he really likes you," Al points out.
For-Chan:
"As a friend. He really likes the
Alchemist as a girl. He thinks she's cute and sweet and more
importantly, he thinks she's a girl. I'm not a girl." Roy points
out.
Dark:
Al shakes his head. "i'm not going to convince you otherwise,"
Al said. "but moping isn't going to make it any better. cruel as
i might sound, get over it. 'cause he's going to notice it's about
him, 'cause you suck at hiding stuff, and he won't know why and
that's going to hurt him." jeez, like two days living together
and the kid got all that out of them.
For-Chan:
Roy sighs. Al is right. What's up with
that kid being right like that? Of course Havoc is going to notice,
he already has, but...it'll just take him a few days hopefully, just
to let it all settle in that he can't have him and he can't string
him along. They just get to be friends.
Dark:
Al says nothing more instead he sits and waits for them to
arrive at school. he hopes he'll see Ed at school just to see him all
right, though he refuses to talk to him.
For-Chan:
They get to school without further
conversation. Roy goes to the teachers lounge and finds Ed leaning
against the lockers near the door. Roy is happy to see that he has a
black eye, but he doesn't say anything about it. He decides that he's
going to ignore him and goes to open the teacher's lounge door, but
Ed moves and grabs his hand.
"Did you think about it all
night? Did you finally realize that you need to give him up? I would
make a much better choice you know. I already know the secret and I'm
already predisposed to men. You should at least give me a try."
Ed says, leaning in close to him.
Dark:
(XDDDDDDD)
For-Chan:
(Did you miss pervert Ed? XD)
Dark:
(oh yeah totally lol)
Dark:
Al had gone to class, he had seen Ed waiting for Roy and it depressed
him. Ed goes to Roy instead of him. sighing, he turns and leaves. he
doesn't want to know what they say and he won't creep behind
corridors listening even if he did. he's suppose to be mad at Ed and
getting caught it wasn't going to help. he goes to class. screw Ed.
let him make a fool out of himself. it'll be good for him!
._.
For-Chan:
Roy yanks his hand away. Seething, he
smacks Ed across the face. "Don't you touch me you sick little
pervert. You will never even be an option as far as I'm concerned so
you'd better just leave me the hell alone or learn to like living in
a seedy motel on the wrong side of town that rents to punk ass kids
with no guardians."
Ed stares at him as he touches his
face. First Al punched him and now Roy slaps him. He might as well be
dealing with fricking women!
Dark:
(women that hit hard XD)
For-Chan:
(well, at least they don't have wrenches
>_> *cough*winry*cough*)
Dark:
(lol)
Dark:
(it's so funny when she does that)
Dark:
Havoc was coming down the corridor. huming a little to himself as he
headed towards the lounge. little did he know the level of drama he
was walking into as he stepped around the corner. x.x
For-Chan:
Ed looks up at Roy, angry now. "You
like playing rough or something? Cause I can play rough for you Roy,"
he hisses, grabbing Roy's hair and dragging him down the few inches
he needs to claim his mouth.
Roy lets loose a pained cry as
Ed grabs his hair. It's quickly silenced by Ed's mouth. Shocked, he
struggles to get away and finally resorts to kneeing him in the
balls. Ed crumples to the floor with a hiss, taking a few strands of
Roy's hair with him.
Dark:
(Ed's such a jerk XD)
For-Chan:
(yeah, well, he always has to play naive
little uke or spazzy angry Ed, now he gets to be "I want to be a
seme" Ed ^_^;; )
Dark:
Havoc blinked, catching the end of that little scene. "oh for...
it's too early for this." x.x
Dark:
(and he hasn't learned that it's not the same as Jerk!Ed)
For-Chan:
(Roy's the first guy he's gotten to
practice his "I wanna be a seme" skills on.)
Dark:
(XD)
For-Chan:
Roy stares down at Ed. Mystified, he
lifts his hand to his lip. The little fucker bit him!
Ed, for
his part, is moaning in a heap on the floor, curled fetal around his
precious family jewels.
For-Chan:
(randomly, the reason that men curl
around their stomach when kicked in the balls is because even after
the testicles descend in boys, the nerves remain higher up)
Dark:
(hey i didn't know!)
Dark:
(rps teach you stuff!)
For-Chan:
(XD heard that on the radio a few days
ago. it's an interesting little factoid)
Dark:
"what the hell's going on?" Havoc demands, already feeling
a head ache coming as he moves towards the two.
For-Chan:
Roy looks up, eyes wide. A wave of guilt
rolls over him, but he didn't do anything wrong! He tries to wipe
away the blood on his lip, his brain fumblign for a response.
Ed
stays curled up on the floor, eyes clenched shut as he hisses through
his teeth.
Dark:
he squats down next to Ed. "you okay?" he asked, even as he
glances curiously up at Roy. he's perfectly sure there's a reasonable
explaintion for this.
For-Chan:
Ed shakes his head angrily. Of course
he's not fucking ok! He just got kneed in the fricking balls!
Roy
stands there frozen. His head aches from the hair that Ed yanked out
and it seems that he bit him pretty hard too because his lip will not
stop bleeding. With Havoc giving him weird looks, he feels like he
should run.
Dark:
he shakes his head and hauls the kid up in his arms. nuding the door
open he slips inside. "Roy, grab my bag off the floor will you?"
he asks, and disappears into the lounge. there's a fridge in there
with some ice packs.
For-Chan:
Ed growls at being manhandled, but he's
in no shape to really protest.
Roy picks up Havoc's discarded
bag and walks into the staff room like it's the last place on Earth
he wants to be. He has to keep licking the blood off his lip and the
taste is making him nauseous.
Dark:
he sets Ed down in a chair, goes and gets the ice pack, brings it
back and settles it on the kid's crotch. honestly, it's not
necessary, but whatever shuts him up. he then moves to Roy and pulls
out a tissue from his pocket, handing it to him. "you're
bleeding."
For-Chan:
Roy doesn't bother with the tissue. He
drops their bags on the floor and hurries off the that bathroom where
he tosses up what little breakfast he ate. After he's done with that,
he goes to the sink to rinse out his mouth and poke at the gouge that
Ed left in his lip.
Ed holds the ice pack to his stomach and
watches Havoc offer Roy a tissue through narrowed eyes.
Bastard.
Dark:
Havoc rubs his temple, happy that they're more or less the early
birds. he turns to Ed. "what happened?"
For-Chan:
Ed shrugs in that universally sullen
teenage manner. He's not talking.
Roy cleans his face and
grabs some paper towels. Folding one carefully, he presses it against
his lip. He looks at himself in the mirror and sighs. He looks worse
than he did this morning after a night of no sleep. His skin is paler
and the circles under his eyes are more pronounced.
Dark:
"i'm guessing whatever romantic venues you tried didn't work,"
he said, looking towards the bathroom. he's giving Roy some time to
compose himself. the man looks terrible and Havoc's really
worried
For-Chan:
Ed shrugs again. "At least I'm
being up front about it. Unlike some people."
Roy makes
sure that everything is in order and finally comes out of the
bathroom, still holding the paper towels to his lip.
Dark:
he blinked in confusion. "some people?"
For-Chan:
Ed smirks. "Some people we both
know." He looks at Roy as he comes out of the bathroom.
Roy
sees Ed's smirk and watches him warily. What's that little shit up to
now?
Dark:
Havoc rolls his eyes and looks at Roy. "what happened?" he
asks, feeling like a broken record.
