Theme 40baisers 39: jealous
Fandom - FMA
Pairing - Roy/Ed
Havoc and Breda were having a field day with their new betting pool - how long would it be before the Fullmetal Alchemist cracked and gutted the next woman who made flirty eyes at a certain Colonel with his automail. Ed wasn't known for his restraint, so it was nothing short of a miracle that even after all this time he hadn't killed anyone yet. Fuery had said that it must be a sign of how much Ed really loved the Colonel in order to tolerate it, his eyes misting slightly. Havoc's theory meanwhile was that Roy was keeping Ed so busy that he was too tired to try anything and Falman had merely suggested that they leave the discussion for another time since Hawkeye was giving them an evil glare across the table and was slowly reaching for her gun.
Nobody said anything after that, but all eyes had turned back to the red seething ball of fury that was currently giving the newest temptress that was sparkling AT HIS COLONEL death glares that would frighten even the hardest of soldiers.
Ed couldn't help but fidget uncomfortably. How many times had he told Roy that even though he was now an official officer in the military that he hated having to wear the uniform, especially one that seem intent on making him itch this badly, but no, Roy had insisted that for once he should look like the State Alchemist he actually was, not just some wild boy who wouldn't know how to make a good impression if it smacked him in the head. But really, Ed couldn't see what all the fuss was about, just because the Emperor of Xing had sent one of his sons to act as a second ambassador. But at least he didn't as bad as Roy, who had been recommended by General Hakuro to act as guide for the royal intruders.
At least it'll be over soon he thought. He'll say hello to Roy then we can go.
But wait a second, it looked like the Xingian was staring at him. No, no, no you bastard. Just go already. Why the fuck is he coming over here for?
"You are the Edward Elric... the Fullmetal Alchemist, right?" That accent was strange to Ed's ears, even though he had traveled lots and encountered all sorts of people in the past three years.
But before Ed could reply that yes he was the Fullmetal Alchemist, who wants to know, Roy stepped smoothly in.
"That's right. Fullmetal qualified as a State Alchemist when he was only twelve. Youngest ever. Now -
"If it's alright with you, Colonel Mustang, I'd like to speak with Ed some more. It's certainly interesting that there's someone my own age here, it certainly makes a change from all the older men" The Xingian suddenly grinned down at Ed, and before either he or Mustang could say anything he had gently grabbed Ed by the arm and was walking away. Normally anyone who tried that would have found themselves either missing their arm suddenly or transmuted into something horrible but Ed was too startled to really react to it.
"Now, I have a few questions for you...
"Would you feel strange if I told you I was attracted to you?"
Havoc leaned over and nudged Breda. "The bet's off, just look at the Colonel's face"
Fuery, Breda and Falman all glanced over at their superior. To most people it would have seemed as nothing was wrong, but the three of them knew Mustang too well and they could tell that he was pissed off at something. That something was across the room standing far too close to Ed and grinning at the blushing alchemist as if he was enjoying a private moment.
"Huh. I never figured the Colonel was the jealous type"
