It was a beautiful day in the office of Roy Mustang and Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse had just finished another mission in a town nearby and were handing in the million words worth of paperwork to Roy, this is expected. Usually when Ed and Al "completed" a mission, they had most likely obliterated everything in sight just to get the job done, and they had to do stacks of paperwork to justify their actions. Roy, using 30 minutes, had just finished reading the ridiculously huge stack of paperwork, it seemed as though he was a teacher grading a piece of homework. A few moments passed, Roy was gently tapping his desk with his index finger, then, breaking the silence, he said :"A fair attempt, but I have to say your a little bit...how should I put this...short." he ended his sentence with a smirk. Within a second Ed started screaming :"WHO THE FUCK IS SO SMALL THAT A RASIN COULD LAST HIM A FUCKING LIFE TIME TO EAT?" and jumped at the colenel, luckily Al had already grabbed hold of him. Ed quickly cooled down since he got called short often and was finally starting to get used to it, he casually asked :"So? What now? Am I supposed to write it again or something?". Roy chuckled and said :"Dont worry I'll let you off this time, just try not to kill everyone who tells you the truth alright?". Ed immediately knew what he meant jumped and Roy again screaming :"I'M NOT SHORT DAMMIT!". Unfortunately Al wasn't quick enough and just barely caught him by the ankle and Ed's weight was pulling him and Al to the ground. Ed, attempting a punch at Roy while falling, only managed to hit his desk with his automail arm, creating a very large hole in the desk. The room became silent.
Roy was quite astonished by the sight of Ed accually attacking him, Ed had always been easily pissed but he never thought he would accually attempt an attack with his automail arm, it almost seemed as though he tried to kill Roy. Looking Edward in the eye with a kind of caring look, Roy asked :"Hey kid, chill, I was just kidding. Are you under some stress or something...?". Ed, getting up and straightening his clothes simply stated :"Yeah, I'm fine. C'mon Al wer'e leaving." Al was hurrying behind Ed and politely bade the colenel goodbye. Just as Ed opened the door, Riza Hawkeye was standing at the very same door with two mugs of coffee, about to enter the room, she seemed to have seen everything that just happened. Ed stared at Hawkeye for a moment and greeted her in a way that no one would possibly even imagine, he said :"Hey hot stuff! Lookin' Good!" and started walking away. After about two seconds, Hawkeye drew here pistol and shot Ed in the palm of his automail arm, he stopped and gazed and his metal palm for a little while and grumbled, seemingly talking to himself :"Perfect, I'm gonna have to get this shit repaired, another hundred bucks down the fucking drain..." Ending his sentence he growled a deep voice and slammed his iron fist into the wall, creating a very big hole. He turned his head to look at Roy and yelled :" Dont worry about it Mustang I'll repair the wall and your desk tommorow!" Al had not said a word all that time, he too was confused by his brother's strange behaviour.
After Ed and Al had left, Roy stared at Hawkeye, who was putting down two mugs of coffee she was holding in one hand since she used the other to grab the pistol. With a confused look on his face, Roy asked :"Hey Riza, whats up with Ed? He seems really pissed, did I go too far with the "short" issue?" Riza on the other hand was not confused at all, she replied :"Everythings perfectly normal Roy, don't worry, he's a teenager, he's growing up, haven't you noticed how deep his voice is now? Thinkabout it Roy,he's found no clues to the Philosipher's Stone, you've given him a ridiculous ammount of paperwork to do, ofcourse he's angry.And, given that he has an automail arm and is such a skilled alchemist, he just makes things seem a bit exadurated, thats all, I'll talk to him about it at lunch. But he's becoming very rude in his speech, 'Hot stuff'...I don't know why he would call me something like that." Roy couldn't help but laugh at his girlfriend's comment about Ed's rudeness. "What are you laughing at!" Riza sharply damanded. Roy, who was still giggling, asked her :"How could you not know why he would call you 'Hot stuff'?" Riza coldly looked Roy in the eye and demanded again :"What is it!" Roy finally stopped laughing, but he was still smiling, he put his arms around Riza's waist and with a a dreamy look in his eyes he quitely answered "It means he finds you attractive, so that must mean I've got the hottest chick in town." Riza's face automatically turned from a cream-ish color into bright red. Looking at the floor, she said :"Well...I'll talk to him about that at lunch too then..." Roy quickly added :"There wont be any need for that, he was just complimenting you, thats all." Letting go of Riza and sitting back in his chair, Roy cooly added "My house, 9 o'clock tonight?" Riza blushed again and simply said "Sure." Everytime she blushed she reminded Roy of a school girl who was talking to a guy she had a crush on for the first time. Before Riza left for her lunch break Roy reminded her :"Dont forget to talk to Full Metal for me." After nodding her head, she left for lunch.
