Centrefold Reprise

"Now that's an ass," Riza Hawkeye stated with approval.

"Mmmm, and those abs. I'd love to get my hands on that." Winry Rockbell voiced her approval as well.

"It's those legs for me." Maria Ross ran a fingernail along them.

"He has nice eyes." Schieska said hesitantly and the other three turned and looked at her.

"Schieska, this man is the epitome of hot sex just waiting to happen, and you're looking at his eyes?" Winry nearly choked as she gaped at her friend.

Schieska looked at the centrefold spread out on the desk they were standing around. Long dark hair, tanned skin, broad shoulders tapering to a slim waist. The main image had the naked man sprawled invitingly across a white rug, and smaller pictures in the page corners had him half-turned under running water, flowing down a well muscled back and tight ass.

"Did you even look at anything below his chin?" Winry asked. "Damn, I wish Ed looked like this. I'd have him in for automail checkups every single day."

"I did look." Schieska protested and the others grinned at the defensive sound of her voice.

"It's ok, Schieska. But having seen this, don't you wish Falman was just a bit more… more…" Ross waved her hand in the air as she tried to think of a word.

"Muscled?" Winry offered.

"Masculine?" came from Ross.

"Well hung?" Hawkeye added.

"No!" Schieska spluttered. "I like Vato as he is, I don't need a …a…an over endowed photo to drool over!"

They stared at each other, smiles beginning to appear as they began to see the funny side of it.

"He's not that big anyway, Schieska." A male voice had them turning around slowly. Edward Elric stood there perusing the image calmly. He looked up, a guileless smile on his face. "Roy is bigger."

Author's Note: This is the third variation on the centrefold theme… I'm hoping this bunny has wagged its last, but I make no promises… the damned things are coming back at me lately…
