Bad Ass

"Brother, what's with you and red?"

Ed turned from his now clean red jacket to his younger brother who stood behind him. Hard to see his expression now that he was an armor but from his voice earlier he sounded bored. Ed raised a brow, he had just transmute the coffee he accidentally dropped away from his jacket. He put the jacket away and took his cup of coffee from the table and sat back to the sofa. Alphonse walked following him and sat next to his brother. Luckily the sofa was wide enough for both of them.

"What's with you and red?" Alphonse asked again.

Edward sighed. His brother could be persistent sometime if he wanted to. He must have been bored. After all, they hadn't done much since they arrived in Risembool yesterday.

"Red is badass color, Al," Edward explained, "Black is cool but red is the real badass color!"

Al sighed, well as much as what a suit of armor could do, "What's with you and badass bro? Your definition of badass is... weird."

"Hey!" Edward protested, "You know I am a badass myself. I would only wear badass looking things."

Al would rolled his eyes if he had ones. He still remember that one time when he offered Al that he could transmute his body to be more badass looking. Of course Al, knowing how horrible his brother badass taste, refused him saying he was fine like that.

"You know, people may look down on me because I am sh- uh, not tall enough," Ed corrected himself quickly, "but I am always a badass," he flashed a feral grin to Al, "don't you agree?"

Al didn't say anything. He was about to say something when someone opened the wooden door and walked into the room. A girl their age stopped in front of them, hands on her hips and scowl on her face.

"Ed!" Winry growled, Al could feel that her brother mover slightly closed to him, uh-oh the big brother was in big trouble, "Didn't I told you to go shopping earlier?"

"Uh, yeah..."

"And?" Winry narrowed her eyes, "have you done it?"

Edward shook his head, "N-no, not yet."

"EDWARD ELRIC!" Now, even Al flinched, "I am busy doing your leg and you can't even do such a small favor for me? Granny's not home today and I get my hands full, can't you help me doing such a small thing?"

"Umm, I'm sorry..."

"YOU BETTER BE!" Winry scolded the older Elric, "Now I'll go back to the workshop, and when I finished and come back to the kitchen I want to see the grocery there."

Edward gulped.

"Do we understand each other?"

He quickly nodded his head. Al watched his brother, feeling amused. A badass, eh?

"Good!"

Winry snorted and walked leaving the room back to her works. Al tried to hold his giggle. He felt bad to laugh at his poor brother but it seemed like Ed could read what was in his head.

"What's funny?" Edward snorted as he stood up and walked to grab his jacket. Al giggled when he saw even Ed's ears turned red, "Even a badass like me have a weakness you know!"
