Summary: Something is wrong with Roy Mustang.

Prompt: cold

"When you said you had to cool down, I didn't think you meant it quite so literally."

"Shut up. I'm still mad at you."

"Ed, please. Come back inside."

"Fuck off. Go away."

"Let's make an exchange. You go back inside and I'll stay out here."

"That's a shitty-ass deal. Don't be a moron."

"I'm afraid we're at a stalemate then."
