Temporary Residents
Van appeared on the grounds, moments before the others arrived, and looked to the windows of Ed's apartment. Some lights were still on, which meant that somebody was still awake. Good.

Not that he had any qualms about waking Ed up, even if it would mean dealing with a cranky Ed.

Roy and his family arrive a moment later, with most of them being seriously wigged out. He looked around. "Ah, there you are." He eyed the office. "It's closed. What time does Edward go to bed?"

You're an asshole, Van Fanel.

"No idea," Van said. "I've known him to stay up late sometimes, and not so late others. We'll just go in." He walked to the main entryway of the building and punched in the access code.

"There's four apartments per floor, and four floors per building," he explained. "The only exception is this one. Ed ended up merging apartments 3 and 4 to make one big one to fit everyone in it. And even if he's asleep, Brian's almost always awake. He doesn't need as much sleep as everyone else."

Stopping in front of the door, Van knocked a few times.

Edward has a terrible tendency to wander around the house while he's brushing his teeth. It drives Alfons nutty, Riza ignores it, and Al's used to it. William and Delilah are trying to teach their children not to do it, although Joseph seems to want to imitate his uncle, to his parents' consternation.

So he's near the door, his mouth full of toothpaste foam, and a toothbrush lazily hanging out of his mouth when there's a knock on the door. "Ah ge i!" he calls around the toothpaste, then sticks his toothbrush back into his mouth and opens the door. "... ohiice cosed," he says when he sees Van with four new people in tow.

Van stared at him. "You know, back home, something shows up foaming at the mouth like that, we put the damn thing out of its misery," he said. "And you can always just hand over a set of keys and do the paperwork in the morning."

Edward gives Van a tired glare, then waves everyone in. "Hay ah," he says, then wanders back to the bathroom to spit and rinse. Once he's done that, he comes back out to the main foyer where Van and the Addams Family are gathered. "Van? It's bedtime. What the fuck are you doing?"

Al was staring at him, feeling like his heart had stopped. The hair, the eyes, everything. It was Brother, and it wasn't his Brother. The awareness of how much he missed him grew acute, and he wanted to scream, but nothing would form past the lump his throat.

Roy tested the key in the door marked '13', finding it worked, as he rather expected it would. Good, Edward hadn't been so tired that he'd given them the wrong key.

"Thank you again, Van," he says as he steps back to let his family in.

"I don't know," Van told Sloth. "But I know that there's places around to convert currency. You can always go to Ed for that, or if you want to do that tonight, go to the Best Deadly Sin. It's owned and operated by people from Amestris, and I know they should convert some currency for you. Do you want a map to the place?"

Sloth considered that as she waited at the back of the line for everyone to go in. "The Best Deadly Sin? Which one runs that?" she asked as she finally crossed the threshold into the apartment.

"Greed, but he's from a different Amestris, not one where homunculii are made from human transmutation. I've been told he's not any different in personality. He's actually a friend of the family, and Roy's got an alternate who works there too as a manager now. He's the one from the same world as the landlord. They're good people there. Right now it's in nightclub hours, so it's probably pretty rowdy, but earlier in the evening, it's more of a restaurant and I've taken Celena there before."

"I didn't get to meet Greed while I was there," Roy said. "From his name and the name of his establishment, I hesitate to ask what he's like." He looked at Van. "Who's Celena?"

"Ah, Greed. I've heard of him," Sloth said. "If the general knows the way, I can pass on a map, thank you."

"This one grew up differently," Roy reminded her. "He never lost his brother. He sealed in him that suit of armor I found in their house. And he spent two years separated from his brother. Now that he has his family back, I doubt he's likely to take it for granted."

Roy sat down next to her. "We will. And we'll convince him to come home." He put his arm around her shoulder. "Are you sure you're okay with seeing him again? I saw how you reacted to that other Edward downstairs."

"I just... he was angry. I- I didn't want to- to draw any attention," she said softly. "M-maybe while I'm here though? Maybe I should, I don't know, go... talk. I don't know what about, just maybe being around another one before he gets home would be smart?"

She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, a bit nervous. "Just to... get used to it? If you don't want me to, I won't. I promise."

Roy smiled faintly. "I think that's a good idea," he said. "I'm sure he'll be fine talking to you. You should know, before you go talk to him, that his wife? Is your alternate. So he's familiar with some of your old mannerisms and may not be expecting your new ones. So have patience with him."

That made her look up sharply, wide-eyed. "She- I- what? He- what? Why?"

"But you did it for my sake," he said. "And I'm sorry you felt you had to push him for my sake. And since when have you ever acted like a true suboridnate?"

"In public," she replied, which was certainly true enough. Even before they'd broken protocol and took the risk that came with becoming romantically involved, she had never really held back from speaking her mind in the privacy of his office, or anywhere else she wouldn't be overheard.

"No," she admitted. "But you also did tell me to knock off the formalities back in Ishbal, at least when we were in the tent. So I am still more likely than not to be professional regardless, except with you. Because you're special."

"And I like being special, although I heard the sparkles on that word," he said lightly. "I don't like formalities. I didn't then, I don't now. But formalities don't matter between us anymore. That was one positive side of your discharge."

Riza looked down. "Being able to marry you, that's... really the only positive side. But..." She looked up at him and smiled. "It's a very big positive."
