The bus pulled up to the stop, letting Ed on it. She paid her fare and went to sit down. It was full but everybody still tried to make room for her. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Roy move his briefcase to the floor. She sat beside him. He took her backpack and tucked it beside his case. Most of the male and some of the female passengers tried not to look disappointed. He slung an arm around her and struck up a conversation. "What were you out and about for, my fun sized lady?"
"Grocery shopping, Colonel Mustard."
"Did you eat all the food in the house again?"
"Maybe…"
"Edwarda…"
One of the passengers happened to be a tourist from Xing. "Er…"
"You're from Xing, aren't you?" said the bus driver over the sounds of Roy and Ed arguing.
"Yes, first time visiting Amestris."
"Welcome to Central then. Those two do that all the time."
"Do they know each other?"
"Well, yes. They are married. He's General Roy Mustang and she's his wife, Edwarda."
"As in the Fullmetal Alchemist?"
"The very one."
"Oh, come on now, Edwarda Bear," said Roy.
Ed laughed and kissed him. His stomach growled. "Are you hungry, dear?"
"Starving."
"Hand me my backpack." He handed it to her. She opened it. "I got hungry while I was shopping and got myself a sandwich. I lied. I got three, but I ate two. You can have the last one." She handed him a sack and a bottle of water.
"What's on the sandwich?" He asked, taking it uncertainly.
"Tuna, cheddar cheese and honey mustard."
He unwrapped it with care. "You got chips, too, didn't you? They're on the sandwich." He pointed out before she could ask how he knew. He took a careful bite. "It's actually quite good," he said upon swallowing. He ate the whole thing. "It was kind of sweet though. I thought I could taste chocolate."
"Oh, that's because I put a chocolate chip cookie on there, too." She laughed at the face he made.
"Why did I have to marry a woman that can out a whole meal between two slices of bread? I'm never accepting another sandwich from you again."
"Okay then, I'll make two for your lunch tomorrow."
Their stop was next so they got up, grabbing their things. "Oh no." They disembarked. "The paper says we have some visitors coming. Apparently they're important."
