Chapter Title: Meeting Pony-Boy

Still mentally grumbling, especially seeing as this 'Master Hawkeye' had been too far away for his liking, Envy watched with narrow eyes, arms folded squarely across his chest, as his Dad charmed the information out of a woman, who seemed quite flattered to be the subject of his father's attention, which she damn well should be. Still, it was an accurate way of getting directions to the alchemist's house, so he wouldn't protest… Just complain to his Dad later on.

Falling into step with his father, the blonde spoke up, half-curious and half just not liking the silence. "So what exactly does this 'Master Hawkeye' do?" he asked, boredom permeating his tone.

"He's an alchemist," Hohenheim told his son, sounding bemused.

That immediately gained him a smacking on the arm from Envy, who scowled at him. "No duh. I meant what kind of Alchemy, idiot." Most sons could not get away with insulting their father like that, but the immortal thrived on the close relationship with him and his Dad, which consisted of practically no boundaries.

Turning off course towards a house, the alchemist answered his son's question with a smile. "He is currently conducting research on flame alchemy." And didn't that sound badass. Hopefully, Envy wished, watching his Dad knock on the door, Master Hawkeye would be inclined to share some of that badassery with them. This wasn't looking to be too bad of a trip, after all.

Quickly, the door opened, revealing a dark-haired kid who looked to be fourteen or fifteen. "Yes, how may I help you?" he asked politely, though his voice was slightly rushed, and he seemed harried.

His Dad smiled at him. "I'm Hohenheim, and this is my son, Envy. We'd like to see Master Hawkeye, please." As the boy's eyes glanced over at him curiously, the immortal smirked slightly in the other's direction, before the entirety of what his father had said dawned on the boy. Oh boy, not another fan?

"You're Hohenheim of the Light?" the kid practically squeaked, eyes almost falling out of his skull. He looked completely shocked to have the man there, but not super excited or anything, so maybe he wasn't a maniacal fan.

Finally, Envy decided to speak up. "Yeah, yeah, he already said that. Get with the program already, twerp."

The boy lost his shocked look and his eyes narrowed on Envy. "Don't call me twerp." Personally, that response made the immortal preen a little inside, as while the kid wasn't angry, he seemed kind of irritated and his voice was just, well, too self-important. "My name is Roy Mustang."

Envy's smirk merely widened. "'Bout time you introduced yourself, Roy. I was beginning to think you had absolutely no manners. How dreadful."

Now forgotten, Hohenheim could only shake his head as he slipped past Roy, into the house, listening as his son goaded the other boy into an argument. That was not going to end well, and he did not want to be anywhere in the vicinity when one of them finally lost it.

A/N: Rooooooooy~. C: I love younger him, cause he's much easier to write, seeing as he hasn't gone through all the trials and junk that his older self has. This history is based on the Brotherhood/manga one, by the way, considering that the first anime doesn't have one, though I have taken a few liberties with it. And does he know Hughes at this point? I have no idea.
