Summary: "I look like a tool."



"I look like a tool," Edward said, and his voice had slid into the range of whining. He tugged forlornly at the buttoned collar of his dress shirt, two fingers hooked behind the tie. Roy rolled his eyes and pulled at Edward’s wrist, making him stand straight while Roy made final adjustments. “I should be reconnoitering on his trip, you should take Rian, I look like-“

"Hot damn," Rian said, sticking his head around the door. "Ed cleans up nice!"

Edward glowered daggers at the teenager, but Roy smiled. He dusted off Edward’s shoulder, pulling some shed hair from the dark material. “I agree,” Roy said. “You can hardly tell that I had to hold him down and make him shave this morning.”

Rian was wearing dark clothes, a pair of Edward’s favorite black pants that were too large for his slight frame, and a dark hooded sweatshirt. “Thinking about a balaclava, or do you think that would be too much?”

"Definitely too much," Edward said. "Unless you want to advertise that we’re playing spies and snipers."

Roy rolled his eyes. “We’re not sniping anything, unless you count whatever it is you do to buffets,” he pointed out. He looked Edward up and down and smirked. “But I have to admit, you DO clean up well.”

"Shut up," Edward said. "Shut up, or I’m figuring out a way for me to take Rian and leave you out in the cold for seven hours."

"You’re sweet," Roy ruffled Rian’s dark hair as he passed, and Rian tried to duck away. "You also can’t get into this function without me, or do you really want to see what happens to werewolves when they gate-crash a high-profile vampire function?"

Edward crossed his arms. “As I recall, this was YOUR idea, not mine, Mustang.”
