When they arrived still no one was up and about so they decided to spar.
"No alchemy." Ed clarified.
"Ed are you sure you should be sparring right now? I don't like fighting injuried people plus I don't think this is a good idea. What if you make your condition worse?" Roy cautioned.
Ed shrugged. "I did when I was 10 so why can't I when I'm 17? Besides now I have to learn how to control my new limbs." Ed pointed out.
Roy grimaced. "So in other words I'm your guinea pig." Ed just smiled.
"I'm glad you love me so much." Roy groaned. Before he could get into his stance Ed was attacking him and he was thrown back.
"You know I do." Ed replied.
Roy pushed himself up on his elbows and rubbed his soar head. "Yeah tell that to my head." Roy whined.
Ed chuckled and disappeared behind the house. He reappeared seconds later with a rag.
"Here." Ed said as he placed the ice pack on the place where Roy's hand was.
Roy hissed at the sudden cold on the back of his head and the pain but then relaxed as it started dulling. Ed then pulled Roy's face towards his own.
"You." He started. Roy just stared at him, waiting for him to continue. "You aren't a physical fighter are you?"
Bingo! Roy's face paled. "I, I, I don't know what you mean Edwards." Roy just fake laughed and looked anywhere other then Ed's face.
Ed just looked at like 'I knew it' then sighed. "You need to work on that Roy. Alchemy won't always save you."
"I know but still look at me." he gestured towards himself. "Do I look like the physical fighter?" Ed just glared at him and then once again sighed.
"Well I could teach you but I don't wanna hurt you though." Ed pondered.
A vein popped in Roy's head. "Pardon me! You hurt me? The only reason you just got a point was because I wasn't ready! Don't think I can't fight just because you won one round." Roy snapped back.
Ed just smirked over at Roy. "Is that a challenge, old man?" Roy's eyes started to twitch. 'This little brat is doing this on purpose.'
"Come at me again then if you don't believe I can beat you." Roy challenged back.
Edward grinned evilly at this and Roy instantly regretted what he had just said.
"Ok but don't regret it when you lose." Ed tried acting nonchalant but you could tell he knew he had won not only the verbal sparring but the physical sparring too.
Ed raced at Roy and stopped a few centimeters from him and then jerked his hand to the left. Roy followed the motion through his peripheral vision yet he made sure he could still see Ed in front of him.
Ed's fist came from the side to try and connect with Roy's head but Mustang's arm blocked it. Ed jumped and did a side kick to Mustang's side. Roy grunted in pain and then pushed Ed's hand away from his head and grabbed his leg. Ed jerked his leg away and then landed in his ready position. He was barely panting but he could tell Roy was already tired. Ed then just got up and walked towards Roy. Roy expecting another attack just stood tensed and ready. Ed smiled and lifted his hand up to Roy's cheek. Roy's eyes narrowed in suspicion but he didn't push the hand away.
Ed laughed as he noticed how tense Roy was. "Don't worry I'm not going to strike. I can tell you aren't made for physical fighting."
Roy's eyes softened and his body relaxed.
"Of course not, I told you that before we started." Roy said coolly as he started to walk towards the house to grab a bottle of water.
Ed smiled at his back. 'He can be such a fuss at times.' Roy smiled and thought about how fun life was going to be now because of Edward.
What the pair didn't know is that they had been watch and their whole conversation had been heard.
