Al was on the couch finishing a novel that he had started a while ago when he heard his brother and the Colonel come in, and as usual the two were bickering. 'more like flirting' he smirked.
"you know you two should seriously go out, you're totally meant for each other."
"Oh for the love of -, not you too Al! Dammit what is wrong with everybody today?"
Roy scoffed hanging up his coat and rolling his eyes when he picked up Edward's coat from where he'd ceremonially dumped it on he floor. 'for a genius he sure doesn't know the difference between a coat hanger and a floor.' "Nothing is wrong with anybody, shrimp's too proud to just admit that he's got a thing for me."
"For the last time bastard I do not have a crush on you!"
"prove it," he smirked leaning over the shorter alchemist and into his personal space, his smirk widened on seeing the boy's face start to redden from the close proximity, "come to the movies with me tonight."
Edward narrowed his eyes and forced himself not to take a step back. He could play this game too. "I'd rather throw myself into a river with man-eating alligators"
"I'll be paying" Roy included.
Edward raised an eyebrow. 'well if the colonel was willing to spend some money...maybe he should rethink this through and see if he could use this to the fullest of his advantage.. "food included?" if the colonel was willing to throw in some free food to then he would definitely be in, though the bastard had better not get any funny ideas, he wasn't the type that put out so easily and not on the first date either...wait where in the hell had the thought of him putting out to the colonel come from? why was he even thinking of this as an actual date? the colonel was probably just taking him to tease him, the asshole. Besides he mentally shook his head, the last time he checked the colonel was straight and only dated woman, and he was definitely NOT a girl..stupid long hair..maybe I should get a haircut like Al's always telling me too...
"-ward did you hear me? earth to Edward!"
Edward blinked, shoot how long had he been out for? "What'd you say?"
Roy sighed, "I said that yes food included. So yes or no?"
"ok, I'll go," he stuck a finger in the taller man's face, "not because I want to but just to prove you wrong and for the food." there that should show the bastard that he wasn't playing any games and that he did not, did NOT have a crush on the colonel...even if the ass did look kind of ho- NO NO NO. AHHHH he mentally pulled at his hair. everyone and their stupid talk of crushes!
Al who'd been watching the whole scene from the sofa just rolled his eyes and shook his head. "they always say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Who knew my brother was living proof of that?" Just then the phone rang, Al picked it up to find that it was none other than Winry. "Oh hey Winry!"
"Hey Al, what's up?"
"Nii-san has a date with the Colonel finally." knowing that Winry loved nothing better than having ammunition to use to tease Edward later with the next time they went to Rezimbool.
Ed whipped his head to glare a his brother. "What do you mean a date? We're just going to the movies! Dammit Al stop making a big deal out of nothing!"
Al shot him a look that said "you're hopeless you know that?"
"Hey colonel bastard, exactly when are we going?" ignoring the stare Edward turned back to his apparent 'date' well if they were gonna do this stupid date thing he might as well know when they were going so that he could get ready.
Roy frowned in thought. it'd been awhile since he'd gone to the movies but he did remember that most of the good movies didn't usually start til the late evening. "hmm 8:00 sound good? I heard that's when they show all the good movies."
Edward nodded, 'holy shit he couldn't believe that they were actually going through with this'. "8:00 is good"
Al stared at his brother who stared back at him defensively "why you looking at me like that?" he asked irritated. 'why was his brother looking at him like that?'
Al just shook his head and just shrugged, "nothing, it's just that it's weird that you guys actually agree on something for once... without the usual destruction of property first."
Ed felt offended 'hey! he wasn't that difficult! "whatever Al!' he huffed not bothering to argue with his brother and headed towards the stairs to his room. "now if anyone needs me I'll be upstairs getting ready for this stupid movie date"
"aww! did you hear that Winry?" snickered Al to Winry over the phone. "Nii-san just admitted that it was a date."
"Al I'm warning you!"
Edward's brother and Winry just burst into laughter.
When 8 o'clock rolled around the two alchemists got ready to leave for the movies.
"ok Al, we're leaving to go to the movies now!" Edward called from the front hall while adjusting his second boot. Just cause he was going on this date didn't mean that he was going to change his wardrobe, even though his brother had kept berating him about it.
Al came from the den and chuckled, leaning against the stair banister and chuckled. "Look at my Nii-san all grown up and going on his first date, I wonder if he'' be getting his first kiss tonight too?"
"Stop treating me like some inexperienced teenage girl Al!"
Roy chuckled too, amused at the little alchemist's antics. the little shrimp was sure cute when he wanted to be..not that he'd ever tell him that, he'd rather not have a blade driven into his heart thank you very much. "don't worry I'll make sure to not bring him back too late." he smirked joining in on the role playing.
Edward scowled, "I'm not some little kid you know! and I'm definitely not some girl bastard!"
"Well Edward,"
and can you believe it? the jerk actually had the nerve to smirk!
"tell you what, when you stop acting like a kid, I'll skip treating like one." On the last word he tapped the short blonde on the nose.
Edward knocked his hand away irritably, "Can we just leave already? I wanna get this stupid thing over and done with already!"
"As you wish your highness." Roy opened the door and bowed to allow Edward to go through first. Edward opened his mouth to give the bastard a piece of his mind but before he could say anything, the two alchemists were shoved out the door by the younger Elric, who then slammed the door.
The last thing they heard was Al shouting "please try not to kill each other!" as they drove to the theater.
