Long story short, it's been more than a year since the last time I've written something in English and feel good about it, and eight years since I've posted my last fanfiction. A month ago a friend of mine dragged me into the FMA:B hell and that ignited a spark (no pun intented) so here I am.
The drabble is meant as a sort of "what was Ed thinking when he saw Mustang burning the sh*t out of Envy", aka chapter 54 of the anime.
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA, only the silly plot.
He should have known better, that Maria Ross' end was more than a charade. The ugly truth was standing right in front of him, anger, recklessness and fire made man.
He was a fool, thinking Mustang wouldn't be like that just because in the end Second Lieutenant Ross was still alive. On top of that, he was a fool for trying to snap some sense into him. And to watch the First Lieutenant trying it too while giving him the the end of her gun made Edward feel sick, because it was wrong, and because it was too intimate; he wondered if Mustang's back was turned to her because neither that Colonel Bastard could stand to watch her going through hell, even if he asked her to do it.
He wondered again, if that was the look on Winry's eyes each time he left, his back turned to her.
