Roy was annoyed and relieved in a way when Ed didn't show up to his house for dinner. Relieved that he could control himself again. Annoyed, because the other didn't even tell him no. He'd spent the night cleaning up and thinking over what to do. He wanted to let the blonde know how he felt, then again, how would the other want him to show his feelings?

Dinner didn't seem to pan out which seemed like a good idea at the time. He finished and then walked up to his bedroom. He flopped back to stair at his ceiling in thought. What else could Ed want? Certainly he didn't want to be courted like some woman, right? He frowned and turned over on his side.

What did he know about courting women? He was used to just getting most things out of women with a smile and a couple of nice words. They usually were panting at his feet from just that. Then again, he should know better about Edward. He wasn't going to be like others.

He changed for bed and laid down again to figure out just what he was going to do. How does one court? There was a possibility he could just read up on this stuff, but maybe he could just give it a try out of the blue.

Roy was up and dressed not long before his alarm went off. He'd dreamed of what he could do to show his feelings and to feel out if Ed felt the same way. A quick call to AL not long after and he found himself standing in the back of a conference room. He didn't bother trying to sit like all the others pouring in. He didn't plan to stay too long.

He watched the stage like a hawk and couldn't help the small smirk come over his face when a familiar blonde walked across. He made it a point to lock eyes with the other, an eyebrow raised.
