"And then, when he kissed me, it was..."
Al nodded, listening, for the third time, to Roses' babble on about the wonderful evening she'd had with his brother. Al knew it had been for old times sake, to catch up with someone he barely saw anymore, but Rose believed it more than that.
If she hadn't gone away for so long, she might have been right about her assumption. Al remembered how Ed had pined over the desert beauty for weeks after the woman had left to help restore her town with the others. He remembered Ed's half-pout, how it gradually subsided into something else...
And he also knew what was going on in the office behind him with his brother at that moment. Of course, Rose, being the never-suspecting soul she was, believed Edward to be in a meeting with Mustang. Al was merely stalling her at the door...but if the woman didn't shut up soon -
"Did I tell you about the kiss? Oh, Edward loves me for sure!"
Sighing deeply, Al hoped it would suppress his annoyed rage. Then, showing his innermost cynical side, the youngest Elric brother broke. The door, to be literal.
"No, Rose," Al said, as the girl gaped into the office where, now in perfect view, stood a very naked Mustang and a very sweaty Ed."Obviously he doesn't."
End.
