Roy had expected Ed to be late. It never failed after all with the blonde. The kick to his knees took him by surprise though. He let out a muffled sound, quickly catching himself before he hit the ground. That little bastard! He turned quickly to try and catch Ed with a punch.

So this is what Ed wanted? He wanted to meet in the park for a spar session?!

He bit back the disappointment he felt from it. When did he start to give his hopes up on something like this crush? He'd knew he missed Ed when he felt just air where the other's face had been. He moved back, dropping into a defensive position.

If he could help it, he was going to try and keep from using his alchemy. He still let a hand drop to his pocket to feel for his gloves. The action comforted him when he felt the familiar cloth beneath his fingers.
