I had to write this after watching ep. 59. Yes, spoilers! :0
Just a short drabble.
"Here's your glass of water, Colonel." Ed slowly opened Roy's hand open to indicate that he would be receiving the cup, all the while snickering in amusement.
"I'm not stupid, Fullmetal. I may be blind but I'm not a kid, I'll have you know," he stated firmly, ignoring the muffled sounds of giggling from his side. He reinforced it with a tighter grip on his water and raised the glass to his lips and gulped it down. At this Ed bursted into laughter.
And before he knew it, waves of bitterness assaulted his tongue and burned up into spicy flames of gravel-like slush. Roy sputtered and water huffed out from his nostrils and the sides of his mouth. "What the hell did you put in here?"
"Man, I think this is gonna be fun. It's just coffee powder and hot sauce that's all," Ed teased, shrugging. Except Roy couldn't see him shrug (only hear the shift of fabric) and he couldn't tell he was smiling unless that childish edge to his voice was there. Suddenly Roy tried groping the air wildly.
"I'm going to get you, you brat! You shouldn't be treating your authority like this, especially when he's blind!" In between of every three words he would gasp for air and spit at the ground. When his fingers couldn't claw at anything, he gave up. "Goddammit, this sucks." He sighed. "How am I going to rule a country if I can't even catch a pipsqueak like you?"
"Bastard, how do you know I'm tiny, huh? What if I hit a growth spurt last night? Don't go assuming things like that," Ed snapped angrily. "You're right, you'd make a horrible leader."
"Yes, you're right."
"Yep."
"Correct."
"... you know, when you start beating yourself up like that I think I should be more worried than I really am."
Roy smirked and crossed his legs. "Well, now that I think of it, I think I could gain a lot of privileges being blind. For example, I'm exempt from doing paperwork all day-erm, not that I don't enjoy doing it (don't tell Riza). Also, I'll probably have to get a personal chef and a seeing eye dog. And now that I can't really fight my enemies I probably don't have to fight anymore. Maybe I'll retire and move to Miami."
"I take it back, I think I should be really worried."
"And you can be my maid, and Alphonse can-"
"That's it, I'm getting you a fresh cup of water!"
