Drabble Two -- Flame
"I'm chasing you because I'm pissed! Why did you run off without asking for my help first!"
Edward looked at Roy, stunned. He hadn't expected the Flame Alchemist to react so strongly about him running off. For once Fullmetal had been totally wrong about how his Colonel would react. Suddenly, Edward wondered how much he really knew about Roy Mustang. Alphonse remained silent beside his brother, taking in the look of rage and disguised hurt in the Colonel's eyes. He knew somewhat of his brother's feelings for the tempermental man, but he also knew that Roy harbored feelings for his brother.
The younger brother wondered how long Roy had kept the knowledge of his suicide attempt to himself. He would already see that his subordinates were surprised, the same going for Winry and Edward.
"Colonel..."
"I want to help you boys, damnit! But I can't if you won't even trust me," he stated with a fire burning in his onyx eyes. A few seconds passed in silence before Edward finally responded to Roy's words.
"We don't need your help! Al and I are gonna do this on our own."
In that one moment, whenever Edward looked back upon it, he realized just how much he'd hurt Roy with such simple words. Onyx eyes were suddenly closed, the emotions they had previously held disappeared in an instant. Fullmetal realized a second too late how much damage he had done by letting his mind speak before his heart could figure it out.
"Taisa, I-"
"Don't let down your guard, Edward." and with that the air around Edward was engulfed with flames.
