Dangerous Waters

Disclaimer: I dont own Fullmetal Alchemist, or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Roy Mustang, the famed Flame Alchemist, was not very fond of children to say the least. The way snot dribbled out of their noses, drool dripped down their chins, their grubby hands that grabbed at everything and anything, everywhere, made Roy cringe and hold up his fingers in a cross, as if they were some unholy beasts sent straight from hell to warn him of his womanizing ways. So, when Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist, found out that a certain golden haired, sun eyed 12 year old had become a State Alchemist, passing the exam with flying colors and rainbow ponies, it was an understatement to say that Roy was shocked. Who in their right minds would have such a young boy become a dog of the millitary? Oh yeah, the same person who would grab a crippled boy by his collar and yell in his face. Him. Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist. And he was even more surprised when he found himself acting as a father figure for the Elric brothers. For the love of the Gate, this would be a long run...
CHAPTER 6: RECOVERY
Edward adjusted his red flamel coat and scowled had been out of the hospital for about 2 weeks now, but he still walked with a slight limp and stiffness in his flesh arm. Roy had forbid any missions until he was completely healed, and as he sat in Mustang's office, he could feel the pure tension rolling off him in waves. Shifting on the couch again, he looked up at the raven haired man. His hands were folded infront of him and he leaned his mouth against his joined knuckles. "Whats wrong, Dad? Got your panties in a bunch?" Said older man frowned at the blonde teen in front of him. "No, I do NOT Edward, considering as how I dont wear panties. Ed just grinned. "Sure you dont." His expression went serious again as Roy cleared his throat. "But seriously, why'd you call me in here? And why couldnt Al come in?" He questioned suspiscously.
Roy sat back in his chair. "Because, I dont want him fretting like the big can of kindness he is. I want to tell you this alone." Ed sat up straight in silent anticipation as the older man began to talk. "Apparently, Edward, there are people out there that want to assassinate you. They want you dead. And they'll stop at nothing to get what they want." Edward blanched. "M-me? Why?" Sure, he wasnt the friendliest person, but he sure as hell didnt give anyone a reason to want him dead. Unless it was Winry. He'd banged up his automail so much it wouldnt come as a surprise if the blonde mechanic hired someone to get rid of him. But the deep, baritone voice that sounded in his ears brought him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see a scowling Roy.
"Fullmetal, are you even listening?" Edward gulped. Roy only called him Fullmetal in public, or when he was in serious trouble. And since they were alone...Edward sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, a blush of embarrasment staining his cheeks. "S-Sorry, Dad...I wasnt paying attention. Ahehehe...could you repeat that last...everything?" Roy rubbed his temples. "Oy vey..." He sighed. "I SAID, that you need to be extra careful now. With that recent kidnapping, I dont want you anywhere alone. Always stick with Alphonse, and when you cant Ill be with you. If I have a meeting, I wont hesitate to drag you with me. The chances of them coming back for you are still high, even though I evaporated some of their lackees,is still high. I will NOT take the risk." And with that, he leaned forward. "Do I make myslef clear?" Edward nodded, hearing the no nonsense tone in his superior officers voice...no. That wasnt his superior officer talking. It was his Father. "Yes sir."
WOO! Done with another chapter! Gosh, Im sorry for taking so long DX. PLEASE REVIEW!
