Day 69: Breakfast

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar scowled, both relieved and angry that he had woken up once again in his own bed. That lanky man who had become his new roommate on the night of his death was sound asleep one bed over.

This was coming to be the new "normal." It was infuriating.

As always, he begrudgingly followed his nurse into the cafeteria and took a seat. He preferred to file in with the majority of the patients in order to avoid sticking out, but no such luck this morning.

Scar stared at his food rather than starting in on it, despite the newly found appetite that had been lost thanks to that blasted sickness. He had a lot to think about. He hadn't managed to find Frank last night. The damn intercom had beaten him to it. And judging by Tsubaki's reaction to him, he had been out for at least a day's time. How many had noticed? Cared? It couldn't have been many.

But it was the few who did whose detection Scar was desperate to avoid.

"...Excuse me?" He had known Edward to be brash, but for God's sake. Scar didn't even know how to properly formulate an argument. Once again, his terrible conversational skills had damned him.

"I was not staring at anything!" he snapped.

Ed's eyebrows just slowly went up and he didn't say anything.

Scar tripped over his words once again.

"I am simply not used to seeing Alphonse as a human, yet. Sorry."

He reached across the table and smacked Edward in the back of his head.

"And that is not an acceptable way to talk about a woman," he growled.

Ed yelped and rubbed at the back of his head, thankfully remembering to use the hand that didn't have blood on it. A quick moment of reflection told him that he had it coming. Not that it was going to stop him from opening his mouth.

"Given how much that dress of hers shows off, I doubt she'd mind that much," Ed said as he had a moment of his memory filling in just how much it showed off and oh god, was he starting to blush? What was wrong with him? He took a hasty sip of his juice and hoped Scar didn't notice.

"Keep talking like that and I'll hit you again," he snapped. Scar didn't care for Edward's bullshit logic. These damn Amestrians had no sense of respect.

"Fine, I'll shut up," Ed grumbled and took his own look over at where Al and Lust were to see how his brother was doing.

Scar huffed, continuing to eat his breakfast after shooting one last dirty look at Edward. Clearly nobody had taught the boy any manners.

Scar would just do it himself.

[fullmetalheart]

Manners, what are those?

Ed idly made patterns in some of the syrup that got left on his plate with his fork.
