Ed sighed. He was standing in front of Central Headquarters, with his brother Al at his side. He didn't want to meet with Mustang today, because he knew that Roy would get on his case for nearly destroying the city again while trying to catch Scar. Ed grew slightly agitated thinking about how Roy would start to talk down to him. His anger flared and he marched right on into the building.

"Brother.. I don't think you should let your pride get the best of you.." Al muttered lowly, but Ed only ignored it and barged straight into Mustang's office.

"Hey Colonel." He greeted in a slightly agitated voice, and plopped right down on to the couch after he flicked his report on to Roy's desk. While he honestly didn't care if Mustang lectured him, it was really going to get on his nerves.

Roy didn't look up from his work he was doing at his desk, almost as if he hadn't heard Ed or Al walk into his office - it was the usual routine involving the boys so they eventually had got used to it. He didn't flinch as Ed practically threw the report on to the desk, nor did he even look at him. Instead, he just sighed continuing to write away on the paper that lay in front of him.

"I see you can reach the door handle, Fullmetal, I'm quite surprised you managed to do that... and I also see your manners are improving, at least you greeted me this time." Roy said simply as he did the last few flicks of the pen, ending the last sentence with a full stop before looking up at Ed. His face was neutral, but his eyes held humor and insult, waiting to be spat out by his tongue to burn Ed, almost as if to test him.

Ed stood up quickly and Al took a hold of him.

"Who are you calling so short that you need a microscope to see me with?!" He roared and nearly clapping his hands then and there to take out the pain in the ass that was Roy Mustang. After awhile when Ed calmed down, Al let go of his brother and looked at Roy.

"I'm sorry, Colonel, but he didn't mean anything from his actions. We are just beaten up from the mission." Al said, slightly nudging his brother back into the couch. Ed huffed out a protest but was stopped when Al began to talk;

"Brother, you're tired. If I can guess at how this will work out, it will only be long enough until we can go back to the apartment for the night." He said and settled back to stand by the door. Ed slightly rolled his eyes and stared at Roy, hard. He didn't want to hear any more of this nonsense from someone who was a State Alchemist like him, though given that he was years younger than Roy, He was still nearly on the same level. Ed crossed his arms and braced himself for the lecture of a life time.

"Hmm, that's a pretty good insult for yourself Ed, I may just write that one down for future use." Roy said in answer to Eds rhetorical question. He put the pen to the side of the desk, standing up and not bothering to tuck the chair in after he moved away from it and in front of the desk.

"Ed, you know as your colonel, I am in charge of you. You are the dog of the military the same as I, but I'm an obedient rottweiler and your just a small chihuahua with a temper." Roy began to say, using another of his 'small' jokes. "Just because you have a short temper does NOT mean you can go around wasting valuable time nearly destroying the place! Ever since you joined the military you have made us lose hundreds of people, in fact the death toll has risen because of you..!"

Roy stopped and sighed, turning to look at ed, his eyes fixed to the kid's - he wasn't joking around.

"You have to start acting mature, you may be small enough to be considered a 7-year-old but the military is not some place you can mess about in like one. You need to be more focused, Ed."

Ed growled as the other small jokes got to him. Al knew better than to interfere this time and stepped out of the office to look for medical supplies that he knew that would be needed.

"If I'm a chihuahua, then I am more bite than bark.." He growled and stood up and glared hard at Roy. His automail fingers started to twitch as if they knew they were going to land a hit on to something, or someone in this matter, and it was possible.

"I may look like a kid, but the things that I have seen can break even the most bravest of Soldiers.." He growled. His temper was growing and he was trying his best to control it.

"And it is NOT my fault, that while trying to catch Scar, he gets to them first and kills them..." He said, not backing down. He was not about to let Roy get to him. He would defend himself and stand his ground.

"Even Rottweilers can back down... Mustang..." He crossed his arms and his golden eyes hardened.

Roy didn't even move, he just stood there, his arms crossed with a slight smile on his face as he watched Ed. It amused him so much seeing his anger build up inside his tiny body. He shook his head slightly sighing once more as his smile vanished.

"Listen Full Metal, this is why each mission I put you on it always ends in failure. Your short, and not just in height, but in temper too. And if you have more bite than bark then you have definitely bitten off more than you can chew if you dare try to challenge me." He said plainly, each word full of anger and frustration.

"Go to your apartment full metal, you're going to need the sleep for tomorrow." He said. "Its going to be a tough day, for both of us." He always tried to avoid a fight, it was his way of showing he was superior than the rest. He was in no way backing down from Ed, he just didn't want his office destroyed... again.

Ed growled at what he was told to do. He stepped up to Roy and gave him a good punch before stomping out into the corridor and walked off to find Al. He was in no mood to deal with Mustang anymore and he was on his last nerves with the Colonel. He decided to go into town and walk around to clear his head. He didn't really want to do what he was told, for it bugged the shit out of him when he was told to do something. He heard his brother running up from behind him. He was still getting use to Al being in his real body that he almost missed the metal sound of his brothers boots on the cobblestone on the ground.

"Brother! Did you really have to go so far to actually hurt Mustang? That was slightly uncalled for..." He said, scolding his older brother. Ed let it slide this time, for he couldn't really snap back to his brother. He was the only family he had after all.

"Yes Al, I had too.. He was not himself.." Ed said while looking at Al. The younger brother sighed and shrugged slightly "I suppose so, brother.." Al said and let the topic drop. He didn't want to upset Ed anymore than what he was now. After awhile, Ed and Al headed to their apartment and rested up for the night.

After Ed punched Roy in the face, he just stood there, face turned away as Ed stormed out. He didn't speak nor did he go after him - he didn't want the fight. Once Ed left, Roy looked at the door, his hand going up to his nose which hurt like hell, and he realized why. As he pulled his hand away to check it he saw the color red - he had a nosebleed.

"Shit..." Roy said, looking at the door once more as if he expected Ed to walk in again. "Don't worry, he will pay for this." He growled to himself, a frown on his face. He wasn't going to let it slide this time... Ed would be in for a little shock in the morning.

Ed sighed heavily as he felt the sun hit his eyes. It was morning and he didn't know what he was supposed to expect from the new day. He gently shook his brother awake and did his morning routine of showering, brushing his teeth and his hair and braiding it back. He wanted to avoid going to Headquarters, but he knew that he had to go. He got dressed and told Al that he was going to go early so that he could think for a while. He left the apartment and headed to Central Command. He hesitated slightly at Roy's office door. The anger still slightly lit in the pit of his stomach, but he grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. Ed ignored what looked like slight blood stains on the floor and sat on the couch with his eyes shut and his arms crossed against his chest. He wasn't going to tolerate any of Mustang's' bull shit for the day. All he wanted to, was get his mission, and then get out.

Roy sat at his desk, half asleep. He was exhausted as his nose would not stop bleeding last night, he had to go to the infirmary to get it checked out, and left with five internal stitches in his right nostril.

"Morning Fullmetal... You owe me big time for these stitches. Here's the bill for them considering it was a minor case, either you pay it or you will regret what will happen if you decline." He said, obviously in a bad mood as he stood up, walking over to the paper and over to Ed, chucking it at him.

What Ed didn't know was all he said and how he acted towards him was for a reason, he wanted Ed to be a great member of the military - deep down that is. He wouldn't even tell himself that, as if it were a thought of madness but ever since he saw Ed he saw promise inside him. The only problem was that Ed was too arrogant to see it himself.

Ed mumbled something under his breath. 'He deserved it though', he thought as he placed the paper next to him. He would sneak it back onto Mustangs desk when he wasn't looking anyway. For he knew deep down that Roy deserved the punch yesterday.

"So what is today's mission, eh?" Ed asked. He had little care for what Mustang had to say, he just wanted to get going and to jump into a mission to get it done. He truly did try to not destroy things when he was on a mission, but trouble usually found him and he didn't know what else to do but to defend himself. Roy was concerned about how much it would cost to fix up the mess Ed made, when Ed knew that Mustang didn't even know how much danger there is when it comes to trying to catch Scar or to encounter the other homunculi.

Roy heard Ed mumble, but he didn't ask what it was he said - he certainly didn't want more stitches today. He sighed, walking back to his desk and sitting down.

"You should put the bill in your apartment, or better yet give it to Al - and I will be asking him if you have it, plus if you do happen to loose it I'll just get another copy." Roy said, knowing what he was thinking for he knew Ed far too well.

"And today's mission is like yesterdays, we've had news of more sightings of Scar and all the other guys aren't willing to check it out, and considering you know what he looks like - considering everyone else that does have been blown to smithereens - you will be coming with me." Roy said, not sounding to happy about it.

"Also Fullmetal, yesterday wasn't too hard on you, was it? Didn't get hurt too badly after Scar realized you were a teen instead of a short 7 year old?" Roy smirked.

Ed's eyes flared but he said nothing. He was really tempted to put this bastard in his place but he didn't want to have another bill on his hands. He crossed his arms again and closed his golden eyes. He didn't give Roy the satisfactory of responding and only sat there. It did seem childish, but he was to pissed to say anything and he knew that if he had opened his mouth, he would end up hitting Mustang. He glared at the wall that was behind the other couch that was in front of him and didn't move. He wanted a different mission but he knew that all missions were absolute.

"I take it you're still pissed off, well I guess that's the last time I will actually care about your feelings then shrimp." Roy said as he checked the time.

"We have about 20 minutes before we have to leave central. That should give you enough time to get your things together and to get down to the court yard." Mustang said before walking to the door and opening it, looking at Ed to make sure he had the bill in his hand before he left.

"Now get going. And when we arrive, don't make yourself look like a fool - It makes me look bad too you know." Roy said, before waiting for Ed to leave in silence.

Ed got up and strode to the door with the bill in his hand. "You are a fool, Mustang. An even bigger one." He said and lifted his chin and left to get his things packed for the trip. He didn't stay long enough to see or hear Roy's reaction for he wanted to get out of there fast. He got to his apartment and told Al to pack for the mission. He also told Al that Roy was going along.

"Be easy on him, brother." Al begged. Al had a slight respect for Mustang but that was just about it. Ed didn't know how he felt about Roy. All he knew was that Mustang was a pain in the ass and was a real bastard. They got packed and waited in Central Command's courtyard for Roy to do whatever it was that he was doing.
