A/N: I got the idea for this in the middle of my vocab test in AP English.

Definitions

Paramour: one who is unlawfully and immorally a lover or a mistress.

Ed was not the colonel's mistress. He wasn't even a girl. How dare Al insinuate something like that! The nerve of that boy…

Fullmetal's angry thoughts began when Alphonse mentioned casually that Edward was the colonel's paramour. Ed, not knowing what the word meant, looked it up in the dictionary. The definition bothered him to no end.

One who is unlawfully and immorally a lover or a mistress…

Unlawfully? Yes.

Immorally? Also yes.

Lover? Most definitely.

But, of all things… a mistress?

The cosmos were conspiring against him.
