Theme: Roy Edward #4: "Library"
The library was Alphonse's domain. While he was working, Roy knew that any interference would be met with bare tolerance (if he was lucky) or a very upset Alphonse. After stumbling in the first few times, he had learned that it was better for him to leave well enough alone.
Roy had a clear understanding about what his lover was doing, of course, but it was something that always went unsaid between them. Al knew that what he was doing was illegal, and Roy knew that Al didn't care. So... that, too, went unacknowledged.
That didn't help Roy's ego at all, though, nor was the fact that, for as much ashe loved Al, he was always going to be in second place. The sheer amount of time that Al spent in the library told him that much; until he got his brother back, he couldn't really settle down and relax, not in the way that Roy wanted him to.
So, every time the door to his library closed, Roy would go into his practice room, and relieve his frustration by incinerating everything burnable within. By sheer coincidence, these were usually cheap alchemy tomes.
Roy Mustang absolutely hated the library.
