Ed vs. Maes Round 2: When Parents Attack!

By Chibi Viki

"… and I'll also be requiring a full report on the chimera alchemy from your assignment, Fullmetal"

"WHAT! You're making me write a report on that AGAIN!"

"It was badly written, you can do better… or perhaps you require a high chair to comfortably reach the table so you could write better, Fullmetal?"

"GO TO HELL!"

Lt. Gen. Roy Mustang smirked in triumph over Edward as the blonde young man fumed silently and at the same time, stopped himself from hitting the general before him.

It was just another day for them, just another spat, just another meaningless argument. So, as the Fullmetal Alchemist silently fumed, as he always did in the general's office, Roy took out an envelope from his drawer and presented it to the young alchemist.

"Here", he said as he moved the envelope toward Edward.

Ed, with a raised brow, took the envelope and inspected it as if expecting something important from it.

"It's an invitation", the general continued, "Maes is 6 months this week, halfway to being a year old. We'll be celebrating it in our house…"

"… you mean mansion"

"… whatever…Anyway, your brother and Ms. Winry are also invited so…"

"Who says we're going?", Edward countered.

Roy raised a brow, "what?"

Edward smirked. He knew teasing Roy about his son was the best way to pull his leg.

"I said, I'm NOT GOING to your son's STUPID party".

Suddenly, Ed felt an air of murderous intent from behind him as a cold steel barrel was suddenly pressed against the back of his head. He felt the safety of the trigger unlocked and ready to shoot him anytime.

"So… MISTER Edward Elric", said the all-too-familiar female voice which, at that particular moment, sounded cold, merciless and unforgiving. "I heard you're NOT GOING to my son's 6-month party...", he felt the gun pressing against his head harder and each word she said gave him chills, "is this… true?"

Edward swallowed hard as beads of sweat started to form on his forhead. Oh crap! How could he forget that the general's secretary and wife, Lt. Col. Riza Hawkeye-Mustang, was also there with them? Unfortunately, unlike the general, she doesn't take such teasing about their son lightly…

He laughed nervously, "W-what a-a-are you saying, Lt. Colonel! Who says I'm not going? A-he..ahehe… I-I'm already excited".

Once again, Roy smirked in triumph over the Fullmetal Alchemist. It's truly just another day indeed.


A/N: First of all, THANK YOU for all the reviews. I enjoy reading them immensely. This idea popped out when I realized my favorite nephew was turning 1 this march.

Someone was asking this so… ROYAI, is short for RoyxHawkeye which was shortened to RoyXeye, and transformed into a cute version: Royai… derived from the Japanese royxriza fandom.

Trivia: According to FMA manga DX, Roy calls Ed, Fullmetal because he actually forgets Ed's first name. o
