Chapter One:

Such Cruel Things

Saying Roy wasn't happy, would be a understatement. The reasons of why today was, indeed, not a very good day just kept piling up. The morning started off with him, being late to work and Hawkeye, aiming her beloved gun at his head. He then proceeded to locate some nice, black coffee... And some idiot just happened to bump into him and spill it on Roy's uniform (Needless to say, that man now has a scorch mark on his uniform.)

Luckily, Riza kept a spare uniform for the Colonel, in case of accidents like that. Thank god. Only then, did Riza proceed to deliver him a high pile of paperwork everyone knew he wasn't going to do. To make matters worse, Havoc's girlfriend had just broken up with him this morning, so the crying wails coming from him could be heard echoing through the office while he cried out phrases like, 'Why Jennifer? WHY? I thought we had something special!'

And to top it all of, it was raining. Life must certainly hate him. Roy always hated rain. You can't get a spark when you're wet.

Riza knocked on the door. Not hearing a answer from the livid Colonel, she welcomed herself. "Sir, you do remember you have a meeting with Edward in ten minutes, right?"

Roy whammed his head on the desk. As if things weren't bad enough, the Fullmetal midget is coming by to give another damn report. 'He can be such a insufferable little brat. Always mouthing off. Sure, the kids had a tough past, but come on, theres no reason he has to be such an ass about everything.'

Immediately after he thought the hurtful words, did the door to his office get kicked open. 'And here's the awful little boy himself' Roy probably wouldn't have been thinking such cruel things, if his mood had been better.

Ed stalked over to his desk and shoved a crumpled report in his face. "Here." That one word that came from Fullmetal's mouth was spoken with disdain. Roy knew Edward couldn't stand the reports. With the complimentary short joke on behalf of the Colonel.

Roy took the report from the metal hand. "Ah, as usual Fullmetal, a sloppy report, almost as short as the one who created it..." Roy said plainly, without even a hint of a smirk. His joke would have been better, but he was in a rather foul mood.

Seems Edward was as well. "DON'T CALL ME SMALL! I'LL BREAK DOWN YOUR FEET AND STICK 'EM ON YOUR HEAD!"

There was a pause before Ed added "And there's not a damn problem with my report, bastard."

Roy sighed. He really just wanted to get this over with before his headache got worse. "Fullmetal, I demand you re-write it. It's simply horrid."

Ed opened his mouth to protest but Roy beat him to it. "Thats an order."

Fullmetal's scowl deepened. He glared at his superior with that special fire he had in his molten gold eyes. But that glare had no effect on Roy, seeing as he had this conversation after every mission.

"Now." Roy spoke in his I'm-your-commanding-officer-don't-test-me voice. He took a pencil from the top drawer of his desk and extended it. Ed begrudgingly took it.

"Fine, you bastard. But I'm only doing this so I can go find the Philosophers Stone faster!"

Roy's tone was harsh and cold as he spoke "Well, you wouldn't have to write reports if you didn't join the military, you little brat." He was in a horrid mood. And Fullmetal was simply making it worse.

"You know damn well I had to join the military!"

The older mans glare become harsher and his tone colder. "Because of the idiotic mistakes you made. Honestly, it was pathetic what you did. And you did it to your own mother and your brother. Your own father left you. He probably couldn't even stand to be around you."

Ed froze. His mouth hanging open and his eyes were brimming with translucent tears. But Roy didn't stop there.

"You turned your own mother into- that thing. It was, repulsive... Revolting. Disgusting. It wasn't even human. Not even close, it was a monster. You turned your own mother into a monster." Roy honestly didn't know why he was saying these things. He knew it was hurtful. He knew it was cruel. But, if he was miserable, Ed could be miserable too.

Ed's tears were flowing freely, the words from the older man were like a slap in the face.

"And your brother. He sacrificed even more than you. And what do you do to him? You trap him in that tin can he now calls a body. He can't feel, eat or even sleep. He can't feel pain and he can't cry. You turned him into that of your own free will. You did that because your selfish. You didn't want to be alone, so you forced your little brother to suffer with you."

The clear liquid did not stop coursing down Edward's tan face. But still, Roy did not stop.

"You're worthless, you know that? Completely worthless. All you do is screw things up for everyone else. Worthless. That's all you are. No one wants you here. No one. Not a single one of these good people here want you in the proximity. No one wants you. Why? Because you're worthless. Disgusting. It pains me to even be within eye sight of you, you horrid little selfish creature."

Ed's tears did not stop as turned and walked quietly down the office, the crystal tears still cascading down his cheeks. "I see." That was all he said before quietly leaving the office. The betrayal, the hurt, the pain and the sorrow in his eyes was evident. But Roy thought nothing of it.

Usually, Roy would have felt at least a little guilty for speaking such cruel words to the boy. But not this time. Roy sighed. His headache had gotten exceedingly worse, so he removed himself from his chair. Walking over to black couch, he sprawled out on it, sinking into the comfort.

A short nap wouldn't hurt. He could do paperwork later. Besides, maybe it could help his painful headache...

Yawning a final time, Roy fell into a deep sleep.

He was not expecting to have this sort of dream...

Usually he dreamed of hot girls in tiny mini skirts...

This time it was different. Very different...

It broke his heart.

And he said such cruel things...
