Was it possible to love someone you hated?

Ed stared at his superior officer, completely ignoring the lecture he was getting. Hey, that old warehouse was coming down anyway. He'd just helped it along.

He let the words go in one ear and out the other, only paying attention to Roy's face.

He liked the way Roy looked, always militarily tidy, but just disheveled enough to be sexy when he was relaxing.

He liked the way Roy smelled, like cologne and scorched air, and very faintly of gunpowder.

Yes, he even liked the arguments they got into. He wasn't above starting one over nothing, just to hear the man's voice.

"…Are you paying attention, hagane no chibi?"

He twitched.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORTER THAN THEIR OWN ATTENTION SPAN?"

Roy smirked. He liked Ed.
