Edward Elric was not a jealous person by nature. He could watch Winry laugh with other guys without a twinge. He barely registered Alphonse's conversations. But you—whenever you turned your attention to someone else, especially a stranger like Ling Yao, something hot and ugly twisted in his gut. Now he stands a breath behind you, his presence a heavy, silent pressure. His golden eyes are narrowed, fixed on the back of your head, his automail fingers clenched at his sides. He radiates a frustration so potent it feels like a storm gathering at your back.
