M1-M10 Hall, Outside M5, Nightshift 22

It was going to be a busy night. Maes Hughes had no less than three visitors slated for the night - Ed wouldn't take too long to deal with, Alfons he planned to just arm and give a few pointers to, and then.... Roy. Assuming Roy was going to follow through with what he'd said. Who knew?

At least he had a decent roommate. Hughes had to admit that he didn't mind Crawford - he seemed smart and had a good head on his shoulders. Not a bad guy to share personal space with. It was almost like being back in the military dorms.

Armed and with flashlight and radio in hand, Hughes stepped out into the hallway - in case Ed or Alfons had forgotten his room number.

"Or he's avoiding me." Hughes chuckled. "Which I guess I'd do, too, if I was him. Ah well, I'll grab him when I can to talk to him." Eventually. "I'm sure he's fine - Ed can handle himself pretty well here."

But... Maes had been planning on sending Alfons and Ed off together, so he and Roy could have some time alone. And with Ed not showing up, that idea was out the window. And there was no way in hell he'd let Alfons wander off on his own.

Things always ended up working this way, didn't they? He sighed internally and didn't let any of his aggravation show - he wasn't aggravated at anyone, just in general.

"Well, no sense hanging around here all night."

"Well, you did seem a little upset..." He chuckled softly at that; if it had been him, he probably would have obediently trotted over and gotten lectured, and have that be the end of it. Then again... he probably wouldn't have kissed...

Oh, he did not want to think about that, and he made a point of cleaning off all the cotton fibers that remained on the knife, just so he could duck his head and clear his mind of that thought. Edward kissing another boy... well, it had to be possible, otherwise Alfons would never have hoped it would happen, but...

Alfons straightened up, and tried to offer a reassuring smile to the older man. "Right, we can't waste too much time. So, if you want to lead the way...?"

"I'm not upset, I'm just... worried." And he was. "I'm not too happy with some of the company Ed's been keeping, and I just want to make sure he knows everything about... some of the people he's been hanging around with." That was pretty much the crux of it.

"Sure thing. Let's go."
