Yelling Takes Beauty

By: Rachel L. Mustang

Edward sat on a chair in front of Roy's desk. The older man stood behind the desk, arms folded, reprimanding his subordinate quite loudly.

Once again, Edward had not failed at screwing something up on his latest mission. And like usual he sat in silence as the Colonel yelled so loudly it made the others worry about what was happening in the office.

"Are you even listening, Fullmetal?!" Roy shouted. Ed knew Roy loved him; he just had a scary as hell way of expressing it. Plus, he looked so ugly when he yelled.

"Yeah…" was the only response Ed could manage. This only made the man grow angrier and the shouting continued. Finally Ed couldn't take it anymore.

He got up and took a few steps forward until he stood at the front of the desk. This made Roy quiet down a little bit, mainly out of shock. Edward reached up and placed a cold finger on Roy's lips.

"Shhh…you're so much more beautiful when you don't yell." Ed whispered. Then he removed his finger and replaced it with a gentle kiss on the man's lips.

Edward turned and left the room. Roy had half a mind to run after him, but thought better of it.

"I love you too, Ed." He said mostly to the door. Then he sat down and returned to work.
