Theme: Roy Alphonse #12: "Abuse of Authority"
"I need you, Roy Mustang."
Roy raised an eyebrow at this; it was unusual enough for his lover to come into his office while he was working, but this... "So I gathered. What, exactly, do you want from me?"
"I... I need access to the Central Branch Library. I think there are some texts in there that have what I'm missing. Please?" Alphonse tried his best pleading tone; the one that, he was told, always worked on his brother.
Mustang smirked. "Only State Alchemists can gain access to the branch, you realize."
"I know."
"And I'm the only one you can trust not to reveal your plans."
"Yes. Please... I need you to help me. Please?" Alphonse didn't care that he was begging; what he said was true, he needed access to the confidential reports.
"Mm..." The Major General tapped the side of his desk. "If I do that, than Fullmetal will come back that much sooner. Not much of an incentive for me."
"But..."
"Tell me, Alphonse," he said, trying a different tactic, "What would you do to gain access?"
Al took a deep breath. "Anything. Absolutely anything."
"Anything, you say?" Roy's smirk only widened. "Now that's a proposition."
