Grown

"Um, Ed? I really enjoy your company, but seriously, kid. How long are you going to stick around"

Fullmetal looked up, vaguely surprised. "I didn't know that I was such a bother..."

"You're not. I was thinking more of your brother getting so massively worried that he'd do something aesthetically irreparable to my head."

"Aesthetically irreparable? That's a nice term."

"Thank you."

"All right, Jean, what's wrong? We both know that my brother's back with Winry –"

"Don't forget to invite me to the wedding, kiddo."

That earned a grin. "Very funny. But it's not Al that's worrying you. Is it Roy"

"Very perceptive" Havoc said approvingly. "How'd you guess"

"I am grown up now. I can see things that I used to just pass off as stupid." Ed unfolded himself from a wicker chair and came to perch on Havoc's lap. "I know that you two were involved while I was still just a little kid." Warm amber eyes studied cool blue. "H'm. Roy's jealous, isn't he? He's angry that I'm camping out with you. Though... that could go two ways..."

"He's mad that I'm paying more attention to you than to him."

Ed gaped. "All right, I... that's just fucking bizarre. I thought you two separated a while ago."

"We did. Or I did. I moved on. But... he's –"

"Still clinging to the memory" Ed finished gently.

"Yeah. That sounds about right."

Ed's eyes began to sparkle mischievously. "You know..."

"What are you going to do now"

"I just have an... idea..." Ed purred.
