Okay, so here's the second one. It's supposed to be the theme "treat". I promise I was going to make a serious short story but as I was writing it just turned into a funny little story. So sorry about that!. Anyways, I hope you still enjoy this!. For those of you who are wondering, I will be doing my best to write everyday about a certain theme. I'll be doing my best to do this for a hundred days!.
Roy rubbed his head, hoping for a cure for his aching headache. He'd been overloaded with paperwork that he'd been required to get finished today and it was only two in the afternoon.
A knock sounded at the door before Hawkeye stepped inside the office holding more paperwork in her arms, not a welcomed sight.
"Hello, Sir. I have more papers for you." She plopped them onto his crowded desk and stepped back. "Sir, you also have a meeting with Edward soon. Don't forget." She reminded him.
Roy let out a big sigh, just how much worse could this day get?. "Why is he coming here again?. I thought he had went to some distance place in the west?." Roy asked hopelessly praying that Full Metal was still there and there'd just been a mix up on who's coming.
"No sir, he arrived in Central just this morning." She informed him then saluted, "I have to go back to my duties now Sir." She turned and left, quietly closing the door and sending Roy back to his peaceful silence.
He picked up his pen and grabbed up something that seemed important. "I guess I better get back to work, these stupid papers aren't gonna do themselves. Sadly..." He started to sign his name neatly at the bottom when he was interrupted by the office door being kicked in, it banged loudly against the wall.
Roy groaned to himself, he knew without even looking up, that was his 'guest' for the day.
"Full Metal," Roy set his pen down and steepled his fingers upon his desk, "For what do I owe this pleasure?"
Edward scowled at him as he stormed into the room and flopped down on the couch.
"I take it you didn't find the Philosophers Stone?" Roy asked, although from the way Full Metal was acting, he already knew the answer.
Edward folded his arms tightly against his chest, "No, all I found was some backwater town. They didn't even have bathrooms!, do you know how awkward it is to have to go outside and-"
"Okay, I think I get it." Roy interrupted him and rubbed his forehead before thoughts of that rushed into his mind.
Edward frowned but continued on anyways. "They worshiped cats. Cats of all things!." Edward fumed.
"I bet Alphonse liked that though, so it wasn't a total waste." Roy attempted to cheer him up before the screaming started, he didn't want his headache to get any worse. It was purely for Roy's own health, nothing else.
"Are you even listening to me?..They worshiped cats, and you don't find anything odd about that?" Edward raised a brow.
Roy smirked down at him, "Well here in Amestris, people pretty much worship a shrimp in black and red. So, no. I find nothing weird about that." Roy calmly spoke.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SOMEONE SO SMALL THEY'D BE LOST IF THEY WANDERED ONTO THE BEACH?!" Edward stood and yelled.
Roy flinched as pain flooded his head, he should have known better than to tease him. He put his hands to his forehead, "Full Metal, would you just calm down. I have a headache and you're making it ten times worse." He glanced over to the boy who had a sly grin on his face.
"Does sugar make a headache worse by chance?" Edward put on an innocent smile and stood quietly by Roy's desk.
Roy immediately sat up in his chair and eyed the boy suspiciously, what is he planning?.
"Yeah...why?" Roy asked hesitantly, did he really want to know the answer?.
"No reason. I hope you get feeling better, Sir." Edward grinned as he made his way out of the room and closed the door quietly.
Oh shit, what's he planning?. He never closes that thing softly, ever!. And calling Roy sir?, that doesn't happen unless he's planning something.
Roy swallowed and felt a bead of sweat slowly roll down his forehead, he nervously wiped it off and looked around his too quiet office.
"Dammit!, I can't leave. I have work to do, but I can't just sit here and wait for Full Metal to do something either..." Roy spoke out loud, that always helped him when he needed advice. Because who better to ask than a genius like himself?.
He stood and started to pace the room, every now and again he stole glances out the window to make sure Edward wasn't climbing his way up. Roy paused and face palmed himself, why would he choose that route when he could literally just form a new door anywhere he wanted?.
The door opened and Roy snapped his fingers, sending a hot wave of flames towards the door. Nearly hitting who stood there.
"Sir, what have I told you about trying to kill people who walked into your office?. Hmm?. I told you if you tried again that I would make you sit in the hall and you wouldn't have an office!." Hawkeye stood with her hands on her hips, she sent an icy glare at Roy.
Roy swallowed, "If it makes you feel any better, you weren't my target." Roy nervously smiled at her, was it getting hot in here?.
"Roy Mustang, I am ashamed of you!. Get in that corner right now and think about what you've done!" She pointed to the corner of the room.
Roy folded his arms against his chest and shook his head. "No, I am a mature adult." He looked over at her.
She raised a brow and scowled at him.
"I'm an adult." He quickly chanced his last sentence, "And I don't take orders from anyone." He put his chin up in the air.
"Stop throwing a fit and do as you're told. I'm doing this because one: you tried to kill me, and two: You haven't finished your work like I told you. So, unless you want the ladder than I suggest you get into that corner." She gave him the evil eye.
"What's the ladder?" Roy asked quite hesitantly, he felt like a little kid at that moment, and he was not liking it!.
"Being shot." Hawkeye answered simply as her hand went to her gun, she raised a brow as if asking his decision.
"Fine." Roy pouted as he headed over to the corner and plopped down, he folded his arms against his chest and looked at the wall.
"Good, I'll be back in a minute." Hawkeye turned to leave, "If I find out that you moved while I was gone I'll shoot you." With that, she left him in an empty silence.
He was still worried about Full Metal, he should be coming back to pull whatever prank he'd been working on and Roy was helpless against him.
Just then, Hawkeye came back into the room pulling a rather short blond by the ear. She walked over to where Roy was seated and threw Edward next to him.
"What did I tell you about raiding the candy bowl in the cafeteria, Hmm?" She stood with her arms crossed as she tapped her foot against the floor.
"Not to do it.." Edward mumbled softly while looking at the floor and messing with his red cloak.
"And what did you do?" She pressed him.
"Took the whole bowl and knocked out the lunch lady's because they tried to stop me.." He answered.
"And what did I tell you about manners?." She asked for more.
"That it's not kind to hit people in the face with my auto-mail because they're a bunch of weaklings and they can't deal with it." Edward muttered.
"Edward Elric, that is not what I said!. Now tell me, what do you two have to say for yourselves?" She asked the two of them.
"We're sorry!" They both said at the same time only to look over at each other and glare.
"Now, I want you two to sit here and think about what you've done. I also want you two to work things out between you, if I hear even the slightest mumbling about killing each other. I'll kindly do the job for you, understood?" She asked them. She swore, it was like dealing with two little kids!.
"Fine." Roy mumbled in anger as he looked at the wall and avoided Edward's face.
"I'm sorry Miss Hawkeye, I didn't mean to disobey you!" Edward looked up at her with a wide sad golden gaze as he begged for mercy.
She had to admit, if she had been someone else, she would have let him go. "No." She turned and left the room.
Edward glared at the door, all traces of the face he'd pulled now gone. He folded his arms against his chest and glared at the other side of the room. "This is all your fault."
Roy whipped his head around and stared at the boy. "My fault?, how?. I didn't tell you to knock out lunch lady's and steal a bowl of candy!"
"Whatever." Edward huffed.
"You sure don't look like a cute innocent kid anymore. That look almost had me fooled, but now your normal face is back.." Roy smirked.
Edward turned his head towards Roy. "Are you really gonna do this now?. I want to get out of here without being shot so if we could just hurry this along and make up already, that'd be great!" Edward said.
"Fine. I'm sorry for calling you a stupid small fry who I constantly lose under my paperwork!" Roy started.
"Fine then!, I'm sorry that you're such an ugly bastard that no woman ever wants to be with you!" Edward screamed with fisted hands.
"I'm sorry that you're so tiny people mistake you for the younger brother!" Roy yelled.
"Yeah well, I'm sorry that you're so lazy you have to be put into a corner and think about what you've done just so you can get you're work done afterwards!" Edward yelled back.
"I'm sorry that you act like such a kid that you tried to steal the candy bowl!" Roy started laughing.
"It's not funny!" Edward huffed.
"You knocked two full grown lunch lady's out because of a bowl of candy. Those women aren't tiny you know!" He started sputtering laughter.
"They deserved it!, and just because I like candy doesn't mean I'm a little kid!" Edward complained loudly.
Roy rolled his eyes, "What were you gonna do with a full bowl of candy anyways?" Roy asked.
"Oh I don't know...Maybe eat it!. Well, I actually was planning on shoving it all down your throat and making your headache worse but..."
"Wait what?" Roy started to ask but Edward stood up from the corner and started for the door.
"Wait, Full Metal. Don't you remember what Hawkeye said, we aren't supposed to leave this corner until we've figured things out!" Roy stood and rested a hand on Edwards shoulder.
Edward shifted his golden orbs onto Roy's hand and raised a brow. "I think we just made up considering you were just laughing at me." He shrugged Roy's hand off and crossed his arms.
The door opened and Hawkeye stepping inside. Roy and Edward huddled close to each other and stared in fear at her.
"I heard you two from outside the door. I would have liked it if you two would have said nice things to each other but, I guess that's as good as it's gonna get. So you're free to go." She guestured out the door.
"Whatever." Edward hustled by quickly and ran for the stairs to leave.
Roy was about to follow when Hawkeye folded her arms and raised her brow. "And just where do you think you're going?" She asked.
"Uh, out?" Roy answered.
"Nope!, you still have work to do!. Go sit down and finish, I don't want any complaints!." She commanded him as she pointed her finger to the chair.
"Fine..." Roy slowly walked over to his desk and plopped down.
"I want this done by midnight, you hear me" Hawkeye asked as she stood by the door.
"Yes, I hear you." Roy picked up a pen and started writing his name.
Hawkeye left and shook her head. What was wrong with the people in this building?. They allowed children into the military, and one of them was her commanding officer!. She shook her head and continued walking.
