34. Scratching With Nails

Edward Elric and Roy Mustang were, by far, the most infuriating people that Alphonse knew. That wasn't to say that he didn't care deeply about both of them, but there were some times that not even his saintly patience could stand their stubbornness; or their low self-esteem.

Both of them blamed themselves for making the other upset, and yet they also blamed the other for upsetting them and, being two stubborn asses, neither was willing to forgive the other without an apology, but they were also too proud to apologize themselves.

Alphonse scratched his head and resisted the urge to pull out his hair as he headed back to the inn.
