I woke up on the couch eyes swollen from crying. "Ed! Get up for school." I wiped the sleep out of my eyes before yawning and getting up. Wait a second…. We skipped 3 out of four classes! I sighed, 'Well it can't be helped'. I got up and made breakfast. We sat there eating bacon, toast, and eggs. "Ed are you ever gonna tell me why you freak out when your braids undone?" I sighed deeply and set down my toast. "Al you know I don't want to talk about it." 'I could never tell Al about what he did to me.' I thought as we finished our breakfast.

I hopped into the shower and undid my braid so I could wash my hair. I poured a decent amount of shampoo into my hand and began to lather my hair. As I washed my hair I could hear his voice.

"Such pretty golden locks Edward… why do you always wear a braid? I would love to see it undone framing your beautiful face. I sight like that would have everyone swooning over you, even the men…"

I rinsed my hair, the water dripping down my face disguising my tears. I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked to my room and put on my clothes then called Alphonse into my room. "What do you want Ed… Oh!" he saw my tangled mess of hair and grabbed a brush. He sat behind me on the bed and began to run the brush through my knots. Al is the only one allowed to touch me because he would never hurt me… anyone else and I would freak. After Al finished brushing my hair he ran his fingers through it and began to braid it. He finished and left to go take his shower. He came back 10 minutes later dressed and ready to leave. We grabbed our backpacks and headed out the door. We made it to school and went to our locker grabbing our books for English. Great fucking first hour with Roy…

We walked into class and there he sat. Roy-Fucking-Mustang. I prepared about 20 comebacks incase he brought up anything about yesterday but surprisingly he just stared at me. I took my seat and to my displeasure he was still staring at me. "What are you staring at pony boy!" I yelled and everyone in class jerked in surprise but he just sat there twiddling his thumbs. I turned around and faced the front and the teacher started the lesson. About half way through class I heard a 'psst' noise come from Roy. I turned around but my murderous glare didn't phase him. "Umm, well I just wanted to apologize about undoing your braid yesterday, I didn't mean to pull off the hair tie and you flipped out… So um sorry." I was utterly shocked, he apologized… I was about to smile but before I could he quickly added "But your still a shrimp…" he smirked as my face turned into a scowl. As I began to turn around I swear he said "He's cute when he's mad…" I couldn't help but whip my body around before screaming, "What did you just say?" the class was awkwardly quiet and I saw Roy blush, what the fuck? " Mr. Mustang, , after school detention today. The bell rang and she handed us the slips. Everyone left the class single file.
