Wearing a Mask
"Loser machine junkie!" a boy of around fifteen snickered.
"Alchemy Freak!" shrieked a girl of similar age.
A loud clang was heard from the collision of Winry Rockbell's famous wrench and Edward Elric's equally famous thick head.
"Ow! What the hell Winry? Are you trying to kill me?" Edward shouted while holding his now throbbing head.
His younger brother Alphonse was standing off to the side with granny Pinako, watching the two teenagers go at it, "Granny, aren't you going to stop them?" he asked the short old woman.
Pinako chuckled at the boy's oblivious question. "Why would I stop a display of young love?" she stated. Noticing Alphonse's vacant and confused expression, she felt she might need to elaborate. "Alphonse, the way they fight with one another is just their way of showing they care. It's kind of like..." she trailed off, pondering on how to word it. Alphonse understood though, he smiled knowingly and turned to look at the still bickering teenagers.
"It's like they're wearing a mask."
