So, I found this lying around and found that I hadn't posted it. I wondered why I hadn't and now I am. Problem solved. Enjoy.
(Start)
Edward's golden eyes narrowed at the piece of wood in his hand as he applied some glue to the edge of it and then carefully, oh-so carefully, slid it into it's spot. This would be easier to finish with alchemy; but that would just prove that smug bastard right that the great Edward Elric couldn't do a thing without alchemy.
Roy watched the boy with a plain expression. He didn't doubt for a second that Edward could do anything without alchemy, this was just a way to get the blonde's mind to start working. Get the wheels turning while he wasn't out on some mission trying to figure out the philosopher's stone. It was also amusing to see every atom at attention, focusing on one task. Roy had never really seen it, save for when Edward was sparring with him. But this was different.
Edward growled when a piece wouldn't fit in quite right. With a long sigh, he glanced at the instruction sheet again. This was pissing him off. He could make sense of the most elaborate and cryptic alchemy codes, but he couldn't figure out this goddamned piece of paper. Pressing his lips tightly together, the alchemist shifted in his seat and tried again. It still. Wouldn't. Fit.
Roy leaned back slightly when Edward snarled and chucked the instructions across the room, "Fullmetal…" He murmured in a warning way.
"I don't need it." Edward set the piece down and pressed his hands flat on the table. And for just that moment, Roy thought he would actually use alchemy to finish it.
Then, Edward picked up the piece again and fitted it to another spot where it went in perfectly. "Hmmph."
Roy was silent for the rest of the time that Edward was finishing up the wooden dragon.
When it was finished, it was like almost like looking at a real dragon. Something about the way Edward had put it together gave it life. Maybe artworks really did reflect the creator's soul?
Standing, the Colonel stretched and picked up the sculpture, examining the craftsman ship with a careful eye. "Beautifully done, Edward. I didn't know your mind was capable of keeping that concentration for so long." Of course he did. Ed didn't know that though.
Edward's eye twitched. "Are you implying something, Colonel?"
"Not at all."
