Portraying Roy/Ed Relationship

Chapter 5

In Terms Of Talents

In terms of talents:

It's fairly easy to see that when it comes to talking about talents, both men are equally gifted. Ed had been graciously gifted with intelligence, a fast body, a high-maintenance automail and, not to mention, his ability to do alchemy without the need of a transmutation circle.

The same would go for Roy. Although he wasn't exactly admitted as a state alchemist at a very young age like Ed, he had his share of limelight. He was considered as the Flame Alchemist, the one who had the ability to sway any woman at will (Except Riza of course). He was great when it comes to strategy and people say that he born to be a leader.

Given that they were both famous in their own way, they fully accept that there are times that someone between the two of them would outshine the other in some parts, eventually. You might think that it would be difficult for the both of them because of their huge egos but a solid relationship teaches you (forces you) to learn how to accept where your usefulness ends and where the others potential begins.

Unfortunately though, relationships can also make you discover new talents that you wished your partner didn't have from the very beginning.

Like the way Roy Mustang hated the fact that Edward Elric has the ability to be the only "irreplaceable" lover he ever had.

Author's Note:

Unfortunately for you guys, this seems to be the only thing I can come up with. So you can go ahead and tell me how lame it is. That's ok. But, personally, I enjoyed writing this specially because I actually wrote it in 5 minutes!!! Well, that goes to "My major accomplishments" list.

Flamers out there, although you guys are not Roy Mustang, I would let it slide this time. If you want to offer me a flame, I would gladly accept. I need flame anyways to cook myself some dinner.
