Princess of darkness and crows.

I don't know if it's western/american puritanism or a foundational belief that Good Men Wouldn't Do That or what.

Like, yeah, he calls a bunch of Chris's employees his sisters but they're not really related and not every employee is going to be that to him. Chris will have hired on new girls since he moved out, for one.

Personally, I figure the mystique around sex and prostitution would have long worn off and he would have a very practical view on the matter. You hire a plumber to update the pipes, a mechanic to change your tires, an accountant to do your taxes, and a prostitute for sex. They're professionals, its just a job.

In my fic, Roy really only ever has sex with professionals after Ishval. He sees sex as transactional and so is perfectly happy to pay for it. Keeping sex as a business transaction also protects him from anyone catching feelings or becoming a liability to his ambitions.

Ed realizing that Roy has that mind set, and deals with his work in the military by thinking with the mind of a prostitute.

Roy eventually not acting that way with Ed because he feels safe with Ed, just the same way Ed feels safe with him. Given that from the outside their deal and roles in each other's lives shouldn't be safe. But it is.

Ed calling out Roy's bullshit when he's trying to uses those skills to manipulate him to avoid being honest with Ed and telling him what's wrong.

Ed taking care of Roy, as much as Roy takes care of him. When Roy has days where he's exhausted to his bones and having to deal with people in that way. With Ed he can let his guard down.

Roy saying off the wall shit about his childhood to Ed and Ed comparing it to his rather messed up childhood(this is not me saying that Madam Christmas was a bad guardian. But still Roy grew up in a brothal. Eventually he probably would have seen some messed up shit. As well as learn things that he may have been too young to learn at the time). Neither Roy or Ed had normal childhoods.

Why Roy is probably like that about his looks and how he acts around people.

Roy explaining his thought process and how his mind works to Ed when it comes to the military.

Is it terrible that my first thought was: YASSSS I'm fully justified in my intense, burning desire to write a WangXian mpreg fic.

I have never had that urge to dabble in anything like this. I don't even read abo fics (I know the lore of course but more thru accidental ingestion). But THIS GUY?? THIS GUY is desperate to get pregnant and have kids.
