Bitter Strawberries.
Edward Elric also known as the Fullmetal Alchemist sat in a small caf'e counting the flowers on the floral pattern cloth, through bored, hopeless eyes. A figure stood over his shoulder for a moment slightly amused as he quirked his brow. "Fullmetal what are you doing?" Roy Mustang asked. Jumping the blonde looked back.
"Oh hey Cornel." Edward said quietly looking back down at the floral print. Roy -without permission- pulled up a chair and sat next to Ed. He quirked his brow slightly amused. Why was Edward acting so uncharacteristicly calm? A small mouse like waitress with brown hair and large wire frame glasses scuttled forward.
"Any thing for you two today?" she asked pushing her glasses up her nose. Roy shook his head then smirked.
"Actually me and Ed will take two strawberry short cakes." The girl nodded writing down the order on a small note pad with a blue pen. Quickening her pace she ran to the kitchen to hand the cook their order.
"Aye Ed like strawberry short cake?" Mustang inquired. The blonde shrugged lethargicly not really listening. "I'll take that as a yes." Mustang said mentally sweat dropping.
Soon the same mousy waitress returned setting two plates on the table. Each contained a small golden cake smothered in red goey strawberrys topped with a spoonful of wiped cream. Together it looked like a small volcano touching the clouds. It was reallly something to admire. Roy took his plate sticking his fork in it. He stopped looking up at the teen who seemed to be frozen with misty eyes. "Ed gonna eat yours?" The blonde looked up scooting the plate close to him. Sticking the fork in idly he slowly lifted it to his mouth taking a bite. They both soon began to eat quietly, Roy ocassionally glancing up. It was peculiar but the blonde seemed to be pushing the majority of his strawberries to the side of his plate. "Do you not like strawberries?"
Edward shook his head. "No it's just I like them bitter." Mustang snorted and rolled his eyes.
"Bitter strawberries? Why am i not suprised?" Standing up he looked at the blonde studying him quietly. "Fullmetal take a break. Spend some time with Alphonse. Then come back when you feel better." Roy left not saying another word. On his walk home he smirked and laughed lightly.
"Bitter strawberries. What an odd kid."
