2)Wrath

It's no secret that the Fullmetal Alchemist had a temper even shorter than his height, and it never fails to amuse Colonel Mustang to see his subordinate/lover lose it. It's certainly interesting to watch him flail around i ah, first it's the screeching, next up it's the weird hand movements... who taught him that gesture/i though he has to be careful not to provoke him when the Generals, or worse the Fuhrer, are on an inspection visit. Ed looks so animated, and Breda has often said that merely watching Ed fling himself in or out of the office when he's angry makes him feel even more tired than usual.

However, when Ed's in a really bad mood, he doesn't stop at swearing or slamming the door, he sulks, avoiding the Colonel (and his bed too) and acts like a typical fifteen year old. Eventually he cools down, and turns up with that familar scowl and call of "What do you want now, Colonel bastard?"

Mustang's anger, unlike that of Fullmetal's, is a slow burn that will eventually explode. He swears revenge on the killers of his best friend, unlike him, they will enjoy an agonizingly long and painful death, sometimes it explodes because of his frustration with this, other times because of Edward's actions. He cannot control his emotions when it comes to the Elric brothers, especially the elder, and that is why he is so quick to lose his temper once his lover leaves without a trace yet again.
