Edward Elric sat at his desk, lightly tapping on the worn wooden surface of it with his prosthesis fingers. Having earlier called the new teacher, Roy Mustang, a bastard he was told to stay after school as punishment. Roy had not arrived yet; becoming bored Edward laid his head down and closed his eyes. "WAKE UP!" Edward's eyes snapped open and he sat up quickly, causing his chair to tip back and fall to the ground. Edward rolled out of the chair rubbing his head "What the he-!" he growled, as he looked up into two angry coal black eyes he stopped mid sentence. "Sorry." Edward mumbled as he stood up, he picked up the chair and put it in front of the desk. Roy continued to glare at Edward silently; Ed stared back and finally frowned angrily "What." He demanded. "I have been trying to wake you up for two hours." Roy hissed angrily "Who sleeps for two hours straight with someone yelling in their ear?" Edward blinked and looked at the clock behind Roy '6:23 pm' Edward groaned and sheepishly looked back at Roy. "Whoops..?" he offered with a small innocent smile. Roy leaned against a desk and continued his hard stare down at the Elric boy, obviously not amused.
Edward, becoming a bit irritated, finally scowled back. "I wouldn't have fallen asleep if you had simply showed up on time or had not punished me!" Roy arched his eyebrows at this and laughed dryly "Mr. Elric, I can agree my time management is a bit off but, I don't fall into a sleep so deep I act as a corpse. You've wasted plenty of my time today, you can leave." Roy turned and walked back to his desk to gather up his coat and bag. Edward stared at the back of Roy's head, trying to come up with anything to retort with. Unable to, angry at himself and at Roy he simply grabbed his bag and stormed out of the room. "Bastard!" Edward cursed loudly as he slammed the door. Roy looked up from his bag and toward the door, smiling a bit he chuckled.
Edward angrily made his way home, continuously mumbling curses about Roy. When he finally reached his apartment door Alphonse, his younger brother, threw open the door. "Brother!" he exclaimed with relief. "Where have you been?!" he asked with a mixed tone of worry and irritation. Edward looked at his brother and smiled shyly "Erm...school?" He offered. Alphonse crossed his arms and stormed back inside the apartment. Ed chuckled and went inside as well, closing the door behind him. A while back his father had left on an expedition in Egypt, later on, his mother fell ill. In an attempt to save her Edward had led her to the car, being only twelve at the time, and attempted to drive her to the hospital. In the collision he lost his left arm and right leg, along with his mother.
Edward dropped his bag and coat in the hall; he slowly made his way to his room. Exhausted he collapsed on his bed and drifted into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, a dark blue car was parked across from the building Edward no rested in peacefully. The car door opened and Roy stepped out of the car, he lit a cigarette and silently stared at the apartment door. He chuckled under his breath a bit and mumbled. "Bastard, huh?" he exhaled some smoke and tossed his cigarette to the ground; he opened his car door and looked back at the apartment again and smiled. "See you soon." he mumbled as he got into his car and drove away.
