''Hey, you like this girl don't you, Winry?'' Envy said holding up a cd towards Winry's direction, making Winry glance up from her searching, ''Melanie Martinez?'', ''That's her name?'' Envy said looking at the pink album, ''...Yes... She's actually good, you should give her a listen sometime.'' Winry said with a smile seeing Envy look at the album again. ''I'll consider it, I'm not like the Pipsqueak... I'm not picky like him.'' Envy said in his usual tone hearing Alphonse laugh, ''You know Edward is taller than you right? As am I.'' Al teased seeing the palm haired male's face get red and embarrassed, ''I'm still older than you two!'', ''Just because you're older, doesn't mean they can't tease~'' Winry added in. ''Shut up!'', ''You're such a lively group.'' A male voice said making them turn to see an older male with kind green eyes and glasses dressed casually, standing next to a familiar person Winry knew, ''Hughes, Riza...They were the ones I was telling you about the other day.'' Winry said with a smile, ''You've been here before?'' Al and Envy asked seeing Winry nod. ''Mhm, They been open for a week now.'' She said looking over to Riza who had a single nose piercing followed with a single pierced left ear, black tank top, black jeans with a pair of dark converse, a tribal flame band tattoo going around her left arm, complete with a bun holding her long blonde hair up surprising Envy and Alphonse, ''Eh?...''. ''Well I'm off there's some customers waiting, if any of you need help finding something don't hesitate to ask Hughes, Roy or myself.'' She said walking off with a wave, ''Roy?... There's another one working here?'' Winry asked seeing Hughes sigh, ''Yeah, he's the one in charge here, but he's really quiet most of the time despite his appearance.'' The male said with a shrug.

''Either that or he's always organizing something... I can't really fault him though... He has his reasons... So he's a little quiet and unsociable sometimes...'' Hughes said with a nervous laugh, ''Anyways... You can't miss him, he has these baby cheeks, with these cute piercings on his lips.'' Hughes said seeing Envy look at him oddly, "You mean snake-bites?...'' He corrected. ''Yeah those, don't take what I said out of context. I'm actually married with a child.'' The male said showing his ring finger about to pull his wallet out and show pictures of Gracia and Elicia, ''Hughes, don't start that again.'' A voice said making Hughes pause, ''Speaking of, there he is now.'' He said excusing himself. ''Hmm?'' Making Envy looking over to Roy who was behind the counter holding boxes in his hands smiling at Riza nervously when she opened her mouth to say something to him with a serious expression, ''He also has a tongue piercing, you can see it when he talks...'' He thought thinking of Edward at that moment since he was nowhere to be heard or seen. ''Speaking of unsociable... Where the hell is the pipsqueak?'' Envy asked looking around to see the blond even more angrier walking towards him, ''Whoa, whoa, whoa... What crawled up your ass and died?'' The palm haired male asked seeing Edward scowl, ''I'm leaving!'' Edward said looking seeing Alphonse and Winry jump back feeling everyone's eyes on him. ''Take it easy-?!'' Hughes started seeing Edward turn to him angrily but seem flustered when seeing him look over to Roy and give him a nasty look making the confused raven haired male back up nervously, when seeing Edward scowl but get flustered red in the face storming off slamming the door behind him, making Envy and company confused to Edward's sudden behavior towards the raven hair male that just laugh nervously.

''What a nasty attitude, and only towards you.... What did you do to him?'' Hughes said making a face turning to Roy who laughed with a nervous smile, ''I only apologized to him...'' He said quietly with Riza turning to say something, seeing Envy make a face pinching the bridge of his nose, ''I am really sorry on his part... I really am...'' He said with Roy waving a hand around after putting the boxes down smiling shyly. ''It's fine... I'm used to people with bad attitudes. But I know now not to get anywhere in his way now, he's too... Temperamental.'' Roy said leaving again making Envy put his hands to his face, ''Listen... You two go after him, I'll pay for everything.'' Envy said with a sigh looking to Alphonse and Winry, ''You sure?'', ''I'm sure, just go before he does anything stupid.'' He said again with them leaving. ''You seem used to his nasty attitude.'' Hughes said making Envy sigh, ''Unfortunately... He's still a bit of a migraine though...'' The palm haired male huffed fixing the pile of CDs and DVDs they had gotten, excusing himself walking off to the counter with Riza apologizing again, making Hughes wonder what Envy was to Edward when he quickly left after paying. ''If I didn't know any better Roy, the kid likes you.'' He said about Edward glancing over to see Roy from his organizing and look at him confused, ''Hah?! The kid looks at me like he wants to murder me!'' Roy said seeing Hughes laugh, ''You looked at me exactly the same when we were younger, look at us now... The best of friends.'' He said walking off to help a customer. ''...I was not THAT bad!'' Roy said making a face thinking of Edward's flustered expression getting him thinking, ''Roy you need to take a break, you been organizing nonstop all morning.'' Roy heard Riza say turning to her, seeing her look at him with her large brown eyes, ''Want me to do something about Winry's friend the next time he comes in?'' She asked seeing Roy shake his head, ''No, I'll just stay out of his way from now on.'' Roy said with a tired smile making Riza sigh when he walked off to help someone, thinking how similar Edward and Roy were, ''One of these shapes is not like others...'' She said to herself getting back to work.

Okay but listen.

I have VERY good reasons for missing in action.

1) I just had a viewing and funeral, so I needed some time.

2) I just went to a Cradle Of Filth concert, and I am VERY sore. (Mosh pitting reasons)

3) I am currently suffering from a massive toothache, so I'm too grumpy to do ANYTHING which doesn't help my concert aches.

Don't worry I'll try to update things more when my toothache goes down and I'm less grumpy.
