Prompt: 1 Roy/Ed (Any): Taking sparring to the next level.
Warnings: a bit of angst and a bit off-topicness in the middle

fma_slashfest. I've edited and re-edited this piece and I'm simply not happy with it still. I use the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" as the focus of this piece as verbal sparring or verbal jokes on different levels can be just as cruel as physical attacks. I thought Ed would probably have some feelings about this, especially when he was younger. Kids are cruel and I bet Ed has some hangups about his automail. Hence where I started this idea. (so in other words I took the prompt kind of abstractly)
Summary: Ed wants to prove the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones" wrong, but unfortunately Roy has saddled him with a job that requires all of his attention and Ed really doesn't want to finish it.
