Title: Rain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rain. He had always hated rain. He was useless in it, vulnerable to anything while in the rain. But no matter how hard he tried, he never got any stronger out there. It just brought back more memories of the Ishbal war. Yet rain made him reflect and sobered him. It brought him reality and a sense of sorrow. The grey skies, bleak scenery and pouring rain were just so reflective of his personality. Everything was beautiful after the rain, so clean and fresh but it could never wash away his sins. It only re-emphasized them. He would never be clean again. That was why he always walked in the rain without an umbrella, to give himself hope that his sins would be cleansed one day. Shaking his head briefly to get rid of these thoughts, Roy Mustang hurried away just as his first lieutenant shouted, "Taisa! You forgot your umbrella again!"

I was thinking about rain when I remembered the first scene where Roy was about to meet the Elrics, he was out in the pouring rain, looking really hot (pardon me), so I linked it to his sins and what rain represented.
