An older story of mine, previously uploaded on an old DeviantArt account. Still, I love this piece and it makes me giggle whenever I read through. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do.
One-Shot Short: The Letter
The door slammed behind them as the two stormed into the office, yelling as they went.
"I come all the way out here just to see you and that's all you have to say?"
"Can it, Fullmetal! I don't want people in here asking what the racket is!"
"Don't give me that crap you bastard!" Edward slammed his hands down against the desk as the colonel sat down. "Don't tell me you're embarrassed? Don't want everyone hearing about it, is that it?"
"Embarrassed? This coming from the runt who can't even bring himself to give his report? How many buildings did you flatten this time?"
"What the hell are you talking about? This isn't about the report and you know it!" The Fullmetal alchemist glared across at his superior, a look of confusion crossing the man's face.
"Eh? If it's not about the report then why are you here?" Roy looked up at him blankly, this serving only to make the teen angrier.
"The letter?" Ed leaned forward, glare becoming deadly. "The one about the 'nature of our relationship'?"
The colonel blinked and leaned back in his chair.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Fullmetal."
Ed stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, slamming it down in front of Roy. Curious, he picked it up and ran his eyes over the words. His expression suddenly darkened and his grasp on the letter tightened.
"Uh … Colonel?"
The Flame Alchemist very calmly placed the paper back on his desk and picked up his phone, waiting for someone to answer.
"… Havok? Send Hawkeye through here. Now!"
Ed stood there, looking rather nervous as the colonel snapped completely. Despite how calm he had looked, he had nearly crushed the phone receiver in his hand. Then the knock at the door came and Riza stuck her head round.
"You wanted to see me Colonel?" Then she spotted Edward. A sheepish grin covered her face and she moved backwards slightly. "Ah! I just remembered … I have to go feed Black Hayate! Later Colonel!"
With that, she turned and ran back down the corridor.
"Riza Hawkeye!"
Edward had never seen Roy as angry as he looked as he bolted out the door and followed after the blonde. A series of explosions could be heard echoing throughout the building and Ed couldn't help but wonder if there was something he was missing …
"Dear Edward,
Please come to Central Command as soon as possible. I urgently need to discuss with you the nature of our current relationship.
Love,
Colonel Roy Mustang"
