(Oh, and if you're wondering about the title, Envy and Roy insisted that I include their namesin it. So, instead of Hagane noRenkinjutsushi Drabbles, welcome to Storytelling with Envy and Roy. Hope you like it!)
A cool, Autumn morning dawned upon the seemingly tranquil city of Central, covered still with night's dusting of frost. Only one place bustled with activity; the State Alchemist Headquarters. Yes, the entire building was in a uproar, as Scar had recently been spotted in the area, and military personal were slowly vanishing. Again. And Colonel Mustang was getting blamed.
"Where is that damn kid?" Mustang slammed a hand down on the table. His fellow officer, exchanging wary glances, backed off slowly. The Colonel wasn't wearing his infamous flame gloves, but everyone was sure they were with in a second's reach. "Late, all the time, didn't even bother to show up yesterday for work! I swear, those two aren't worth my time. I have too much work to do!" Mustang hadn't worked over time since he dyed his hair black, so, work overload was personally his fault.
(Roy: My hair is naturally black, though.
Madetsuchi: My point exactly.
Envy: -Snigger-)
Then a rather hollow, metal-on-wood knocking sounded on the closed, wooden door. Hawkeye, closest, cracked it open, and looked outside. Then she faced Mustang and gave a small salute.
"It's younger brother Elric, sir."
"Let him in. Maybe he can tell us why Fullmidget isn't here," The man growled, reaching into a pocket on his uniform. Everyone, excluding Hawkeye, who was greeting Alphonse, gave a small jump, and scurried backwards until their backs were pressed against the wall.
Mustang paused to give them all a puzzled look, before pulling out his pocket watch, and clicking it open to examine the time. Then with a sigh, put it a way, and glowered at the lonely suit of armor.
"Where is Fullmetal? Wasn't being gone yesterday, without permission, bad enough!"
"We're sorry, sir, about not telling you...we went to Risembool for the evening...for supper...Winry threatened our lives if we did show up, sir!" Al amended as the Colonel reached into his pocket again.
Mustang forced himself to relax, and left the glove slip off his finger tips. "Well, where is he now?"
"Well, brother said he'd meet me here..." Al looked around, as if expecting to see Ed crowed up against the wall, looking terrified like the rest of the officers. "He had something to pick up, he said..."
Silence filled the room for a moment. And then-
"Hi everyone!" Edward Elric stood in the doorway, and bright, doopy smile plastered on his face. His eyes were kind of unfocused, and his blond hair was badly pulled into a braid, loose pieces of hair sticking up everywhere. But strangest of all was his red coat, which he was wearing backwards. He looked pretty strange.
"Is he drunk?" Havoc whispered to Huges, who was standing next to him. The Lieutenant Colonel shrugged.
"Fullmetal, you're two hours la-!" Roy was cut off, as Ed crossed the room, and being the pipsqueak he is, gave Roy a sideways waist hug, looking for all world like a little kid hugging his father.
The Colonel stood there stunned, as did everyone else. Ed looked up to meet the older man's eyes.
"You've always been a father figure to me, Mustang." The boy released the Colonel. "Thank you. Happy Father's Day." Ed began to leave the room, still with the dumb grin, and paused by Roy's desk. He removed a wrapped package, and placed on top of the papers. Then he breezed out of the room.
"Wha...WHAT THE HELL?" Everyone pretty much agreed with Colonel on that point.
"Alphonse, what did Winry do to your brother?" Hawkeye said, staring wide-eyed out the door.
"Well, hehe, she made him drink a glass of milk. He'll be ok in a couple of day though..."
"Hey, Roy..." Huges had picked up the package and unwrapped it. Inside lay a bright pink tie, with neon green letters that read '#1 DADDY'. "You should wear this. I hear women go for single dad's...it might even help you get a wife!"
Mustang was finally getting over his shock, and the tie and Maes' words didn't help. He growled. Eyes widened, and all made a frenzied dash for the door. Havoc even crash-dived through the window. And just as the last person made it out, then entire room erupted into flames, traced with flashes of alchemy.

Madetsuchi: Yeah, that was pretty long for a drabble, but it's probably the longest...who knows...
