Red Coat
As Edward Elric, made his way to Roy Mustang's office, he heard murmurs and laughs behind his back. He assumed they were secretly making fun of his height and was immediately put in a bad mood.
The fact that, upon arriving at the office, he noticed that Mustang was in a good mood; put Ed in an even worse mood. Ed noticed that Hughes was already there, reporting something or other; or most likely showing Mustang the latest picture of his daughter. Bu what really caught Ed's attention was the amused look that Hughes and Mustang shared.
When Edward glanced at his brother, Alphonse, he realized that the suit of armor also shared the joke that amused the military men. Despite being a suit of armor, and therefore having a perfect poker face, Ed could read his brother like a book.
Mustang opened his mouth to speak, but Edward cut his off. "Who are you calling so short that everyone laughs at him behind his back?!"
Mustang blinked, Alphonse played innocent and Hughes held back laughter.
Edward gave each of them a stern look. "What's going on? You're all hiding something from me. Even my own brother knows and won't tell me!"
Alphonse instinctively backed way when Ed caught him. "I don't know what you're talking about..."
"You're a terrible liar, Al!" Ed was certain that they were hiding something, and he was determined to find out what it was.
Al looked to Hughes for support. Hughes was unable to hold it in any longer, and exploded in a fit of laughter. "Elysia is a little genius."
"Don't change the subject!" Edward demanded.
By now even Mustang was smiling and Alphonse was making noises as if holding back laughter.
"I demand an explanation!" Ed stomped his feet, making 'thump' and 'clang' sounds.
As soon as Hughes was able to catch his breath from laughing, he started explaining. "Remember yesterday when were discussing your report and trying to put together some clues?"
Edward nodded and willed Hughes to continue.
"Elysia wanted her big brothers to read her a story, so Alphonse volunteered while we worked. She said that Alphonse looked like the tin man from the Wizard of Oz..." Hughes stopped his narration there.
Edward did not understand. He already heard the tin man story from Al. If that was all there was to it, then wouldn't they be laughing at Al? "What else?"
"Well..." Hughes delivered the devastating blow, "she said you looked like Little Red Riding Hood."
Ed's mouth was agape, as he witnessed Hughes, Alphonse, Mustang, and even Hawkeye, who had just entered the office, laugh to their heart's content.
Hawkeye was the first to compose herself, and set the paperwork she came to deliver on Mustang's desk. She wisely exited the office before catching the wrath of the offended red coated midget alchemist, formerly known as Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric, now known simply as Little Red.
Unfortunately, Edward Elric knew that no matter how much property damage he caused that time, nothing would stop Mustang from calling him Little Red when ever he saw him.
