And this is finally back from the dead. Sorry about that...I was cleaning up my GoogleDrive and I found this on there, as well as several other of the Affirmation drabbles!

This was written approximately when I was in 10th or 11th grade so either 2010 or 2011 (so long ago!)

I hope you will all enjoy this, and I'll try to get more stuff uploaded soon!

~ I Believe that trust is more important than monogamy ~

Roy walked into the apartment that he shared with his lover, Edward, late in the night. He'd been out late at work that night and needed sleep badly.

However, a certain blonde alchemist was perched on the bottom of the steps, blocking the only way to the bedroom. The blonde's arms were crossed and his eyebrows were knitted together, golden eyes flashing angrily.

"Ed, what's wro-?"

"What's wrong? Damn it, Roy. If you're going to cheat on me, do it right!" Roy's half-closed eyes snapped open at the accusation.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh," Edward drawled sarcastically. "Now you try to hide it!"

"Edward, I don't -" Roy was interrupted by Edward suddenly standing and thrusting a crumpled piece of paper in his face.

"You left me a damn note, telling me you were going out with this Jacqueline. And let's not forget Vanessa, Kate, or Braidy-kins!"

"You don't know?" Roy's face was blank with shock.

"Didn't know you were cheating? No! Not until I saw this on the counter this morning!" Edward growled impatiently.

"No, Ed. About the code."

"What code?" Edward was seething at this point, his face inches from Roy's.

"Well, Braidy-kins is really Breda."

"You're cheating on me with Breda?"

"No," Roy said, exasperated. "No. Listen; Jacqueline, Vanessa, Kate, and Braidy-kins are all code names, so we can meet in secret and talk of things we can't discuss in Headquarters -things the other officers outside of my command can't know."

"...So...You're not cheating on me?" Edward took an unsteady step back.

"No, Edward, I'm not." Roy placed his hands on Ed's shoulders to keep him standing. Edward's cheeks flushed, embarrassed.

"Sorry, it's just that-it really seemed like-And...And-" A comforting hug from Roy was all Ed needed. "...So, what's my code name?"

"...Shortcake."

"Huh. Why's mine foo- Hey! You bastard!"
