Gift Wrapping

------------------------

Edward Elric: alchemist prodigy, the eldest brother of the two Elric brothers, state alchemist. And of all the things in the world that he COULDN'T do… would be to wrap a Christmas gift.

Riza, who was passing by at the time, stopped and peered in through the door. "Edward… I don't think that's how you wrap a gift."

Ed twitched. Of course he knew that! What kind of gift is lumpy and covered in glue, tape and ribbons? How could he mess up on something so simple! It was unheard of! I mean it's just taking a box, putting on colored paper, using a little tape and then put on a ribbon then blam! You're supposed to have a gift.

So he sat on the ground, practically pouting at his failure. He looked up when he heard a chuckle. Standing in the doorway stood Roy Mustang. Ed scowled, his mood already sour. "What do you want," he snapped.

Roy chuckled once more. "Nothing, nothing. It's just very amusing to watch you."

Ed glared at the older man. "Why don't you wrap it then if you think you can do better?" His glare intensified.

Roy smiled. "It's much more fun to watch you try to wrap a gift." He walked into the room and picked up the disfigured gift. "It is the thought that counts though." Carefully he undid the ribbons and tape, revealing the plain box that the gift was hidden in.

Leaning down he handed the box back to Ed. "Besides, I'm sure you'll figure out how to wrap it before Christmas." Roy kissed Ed on the cheek.

Ed turned a brilliant red as Roy walked back out.

No sooner had the Flame Alchemist disappeared from sight, did the realization hit Ed. "HEY! Come back! You're supposed to wrap this gift!"
