Roy Mustang sat at his desk, pretending to be busy while twirling a pen around his thumb. Moments earlier he had rested his feet on
his desk, but he had learned his lesson against that when he leaned to far back and the chair collapsed, pitching him to the ground. Now,
a few cuts and bruises later, he was trying to do anything possible to combat his boredom.
The pen managed to slip from his slender fingers and fall to the carpet below silently.
"Gah!" Roy leaned back in his chair for a moment and spun around once, the walls becoming a dizzy haze in front of his vision until he
slowed down, dizzy. A grin stretched across the colonel's face, and he spun the chair again, faster and more forcefully this time, the chair
taking longer to stop.
"Ok...how about this!" Roy gripped the edge of his desk tightly and pulled forcefully, and the chair whirled around insanely, colors
spinning.
"And so this is how hard the higher ups work. No wonder I have so many jobs for the military."
Roy tried to stop the chair but it spun out of control, tilting hazily and crashing to the ground on top of the colonel, making him groan in
pain. "Oh. Fullmetal. You're here. I was just...working on some papers."
The small alchemist glared down at him, anger plain in his face and golden eyes. "You sent me on a wild-goose chase, Mustang!
Dammit!"
Mustang pulled the chair up and plopped down in it, folding his arms as he clicked his fingers once and watched the flame dance. "And
how did I do that, Fullmetal? Please elaborate so I might better understand your fury."
"I have FURY because you sent me to a town that didn't EXIST. Do you understand that, Colonel? You sent me to a TOWN that
DIDN'T EXIST!"
Mustang snapped his fingers again and the flame twitched and danced, and he looked at the young Alchemist. "I really don't know
what you're talking about."
"The hell you don't. Do you think it's funny to send me out into a desert? Do you? Because I find it HILARIOUS!" Ed clenched his
fists in anger, trying to get Mustang to at least communicate with him.
"Well if you thought it was funny, why are you yelling at me?"
Ed's face twitched in poorly concealed rage. "I DIDN'T think it was funny, I was being SARCASTIC!"
Roy's flame went out, and he looked up at the teen, who was now hovering over him. "Well, Edward. You can't expect me to
understand you when you contradict yourself."
Edward let out a squeal that can only be translated as pure rage, and reached forward to knock the papers clean off Mustang's desk.
What he didn't expect was for Roy to grab his wrist tightly and pull himself closer to Ed.
Fury forgotten, Ed flushed slightly. "S-sir? What are you doing?"
Roy seemed to have his mind on other things, and he gave a start when Ed spoke. "What does it look like I'm doing, Elric? Stopping
you from scattering paperwork that took me all day to do and sort."
A smirk crawled across Ed's face, and he pulled loose of the older man's grip.
"Paperwork that took you all work to sort, huh? Well consider this a down payment of revenge for screwing me over." Ed savagely
shoved the papers off the desk and saluted sarcastically. "Good day, Colonel." he said with emphasis on Colonel before stalking out of
the office.
"Damned cocky kid..." Roy glanced at the papers strewn about his floor and shrugged, leaning back in his chair. "I'll get to that another
time. I've already done it once today." A smirk grew on the colonel's face, and he clicked his fingers. The way Elric had reacted...it was
priceless. You would have thought Roy had thrown him to the ground and declared the boy his property. Ah...puberty.
Mustang's door flew open, and he opened his mouth, prepared to retort to Edward's annoying whine, when Hughes stepped in,
grinning.
"Look at her, Roy! I swear Elysia gets more beautiful every day! She takes after her mom, you know!"
Instantly a picture of an adorable child was thrust into Roy's face, and a quick glance told him he had seen it at least three million times.
"Yes, Maes. I agreed with you a half hour ago that she was cute." Mustang leaned forward on his desk, chin resting in the palm of his left
hand, playing his part of lazy man well.
Hughes' grin only grew as he placed the picture lovingly inside his pocket. "Roy...what did you do to that Elric kid?"
"Elric? I didn't do anything to him. He came in screaming and crying like a baby about some mission and I just tuned him out." Roy
paused for a moment. "Why?"
Maes grinned. "He looks like someone punched him in the stomach."
