The Prince And Alchemist (A RoyEd Cinderella AU)

Parties And Gatherings

Ed's POV
"Alright Edlyn, we're heading out." Hohenheim explained as Winry and Al stood behind him. Winry was dressed in a blue dress. It was long, and had ruffles at the bottom. Meanwhile, Al was dressed in a nice dress shirt, and black pants. He looked very grown up, and that thought made me silently chuckle a little bit. "It's not a surprise that you're not going." Hohenheim muttered. I sighed silently. "This house better be spotless when we get back." He threatened, making me stiffen and nod. I quickly began sweeping the floor. They walked out, and Al gave me a look of sympathy as he left. Within a few hours, I had finished. I ran up to my room, and threw my closet door open. In there was a dress shirt, and pants. The shirt was red, with buttons. The bottoms were black, and fit me just right. I hurriedly threw on my clothes, and pulled my pony tail. I had to make sure Hohenheim didn't see me. I quickly put my silver pocket watch on as I walked out my home. I had to get back by 12. I sighed as I began walking to the castle. A carriage pulled up next to me. "Hey, your that girl that saved the prince right?" The guy asked. I nodded shyly. "Ye-Yeah..." I replied. "I'm Maes Hughes, a friend of the prince. And you are?" He asked. "I-I'm..." I trailed off. He raised an eye brow. "Ed. My names Ed." I replied. He nodded. "Well Ed, would you like a lift to the castle, seeing how your going there now?" Hughes asked. "If it's not an inconvenience." I replied.
-Time Skip-
Hughes and I stepped out. "Thank you." I said softly. He grinned. "No problem. Edward." He replied before walking in. I froze. 'He....he figured it out....' It made me happy, for some weird reason. I smiled softly as I stepped in, only to be stopped by guards. I frowned softly. 'No....I was so close to seeing him....' "She's fine, let her on through." Roy's voice cut through the air. I smiled softly as he walked over. He took hold of my hand, as we walked in. "I almost didn't recognize you." He chuckled. I smiled sheepishly. "Yeah..." I muttered. "Care for a dance?" He asked. I nodded, and he wrapped an arm around my waist, and grabbed my hand with his free hand. I placed my hand on his side and rested my head softly on his shoulder. We danced around for a bit, and he suddenly leaned towards my ear. "You don't have to say anything....just let me do the talking okay?" He whispered softly. I nodded in confusion. "Your name isn't really Edlyn is it?" He asked. I stiffened slightly. "I thought so....your name...Ed. It's really just a nickname for Edward huh?" He continued. I nodded slightly. "I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner Ed...he hasn't been treating you right has he?" Roy asked in a soft, gentle tone. We stopped moving, and he wrapped his arms around me. I shyly hugged back. "Ed, I need you to answer me honestly. Has your step father hurt you?" That question made me stiffen, and I looked at the clock. It was 11:30. I had to leave. So, before I could respond, I ran off. Back to my home.
