Prologue

Roy Mustang sat back in his chair, dark eyes widen by the frustrated request he had just received. But he hadn't misheard Fullmetal. Edward was always very determined in everything he did and this newest conquest of his was no different. He stared back at his superior, his gaze unwavering and his jawline set.

"Then you show me."

This whole thing had started a couple of days ago when another odd request presented itself to him. He thought it was something that he just had to give a simple answer and it would resolve itself but that was not the case. He remembered being a teenager and all the frustrations that came with it. Forget about all the baggage Edward had to deal with on top of typical teenage angst. And now with this sudden interest in sex and relationships just made Roy want to help more. The kid already had his sympathy even if he did enjoy harrassing him.

"So this is actually about a girl?" The blond nodded hesitantly. At first he couldn't even look the Colonel in the eye. He shifted uncomfortably where he stood.

"You seem to know all about women and what to say to them." Roy had already decided he was going to help however it didn't mean he couldn't have any fun.

"So our little Edward is growing up and showing interest in women, how cute." Despite the awkward obvious embarrassed look on his face, his anger still managed to surface. His amber gaze could have cut through the Colonel if he could will it to.

"Oh just forget it! I don't know what I was thinking asking a lecher like you. You wouldn't know anything about real romance anyway." His face became an even deeper red as he balled his fists at his sides and was considering stomping out right then. Mustang put his hands up, almost in a gesture of surrender.

"Alright, alright. I couldn't resist." Despite his semi-apology the tension in Ed's body didn't seem to lesson. "Ed, you can talk to me about this, really. Despite the womanizer everyone makes me out to be, there is nothing wrong with admiring how women look. And everything that is frustrating you about this is normal. It's just weird coming from you. You're always so focused on getting your bodies back and righting all the wrongs in the world. You just don't seem to let this real life stuff get to you."

"Well I do. I've been thinking about it a lot...and it's just not an area I'm very confident in. You don't seem to have that problem."
Roy raised an eyebrow and smirked slightly.

"It's your mechanic, isn't it." Ed's face now seemed to go several shades paler as he stared in shock at the conclusion. He struggled to swallow before answering and tugged at his collar some.

"You sound just like Hughes."

"Well as much as he could jump to conclusions, she is pretty cute." That didn't seem to ease the teens nerves either.

"I don't want you of all people thinking about her like that," Ed grumbled through clenched teeth.

"I'm just saying you have good taste, take it easy." The Flame Alchemist reached for a pen and paper from the corner of his desk and jotted down some quick notes for Ed. "Here." He handed him what looked almost like a check list. "The next time you see her and want to be a man about things, these are some tips." Edward quickly read over Mustang's note, only to find himself blushing again and his mouth hanging open.

"You seriously want me to do some of this stuff?" The Colonel leaned back, placing his hands behind his head and closing his eyes.

"Don't want to be a frustrated teen forever, now do you?" The challenge had been thrown down. It almost seemed that the older Alchemist was daring Ed to make a move. Edward released a deep breath and glared slightly at his superior.

"Whatever." He stomped out of the office, slamming the door.
