[It had been an innocent enough fight, however, a simple sibling squabble was anything but when your sibling was in fact a skilled alchemist with a rather large temper. It's more than likely that his beloved sister had thrown the first punch and like any well mannered young man he deflected, it wasn't nice to hit girls after all.
That of course only makes things easier for Ed as Alphonse is brought down, groaning as he meets the sofa in the room of the Inn their sharing. The bright flash of light causes his eyes to snap open and as he tries to move away from the sudden alchemical reaction, he realizes it's already too late. The material of the couch has been altered, leather cushions now have many leather straps woven into the fabric and he is quite tied up.]
[ With Al securely in place, unable to retaliate or further try to avoid her wrath, Ed easily settles herself down at Al's waist, legs on either side of her brother as she stares down at him with all but devilish grin. Their fight had been a typical one, and as usual, she's had to cheat in order to win, but this time the outcome pleases her much more than usual.
Placing her hands on either side of Al's head, she leans down just enough to press their foreheads together, lips still curled in a smirk. ]
Now... what should I do with my bratty little brother?
[He says with his shocked expression taking on a much more innocent look. While he knew suggesting such was futile at best, he certainly takes the moment to make his best attempt at trying to get away. He dares not shift as she moves to sit atop his waist, though her much lighter form barely causes his any discomfort. That comes from trying to figure out what she plans on doing with him.]
[ A slight wiggle and she shifts her hips a little as if to remind him that she's not going anywhere. He's right in thinking his suggestion is futile. She has no intention of releasing him for a while. ]
You started it! Why is you always have to hit me when you know I won't hit you back!?
[It wasn't fair... if Ed was a boy, well, then things would be a lot different. It was likely that Ed would always lose these types of fights. Sighing and with a bit of a annoyed look he narrows his eyes upwards.]
[ Moving her hand to his hair, she tugs lightly, giving a frown of her own. Al's tendency to err on the side of caution, while usually one of the good parts about his calmer personality, could kill him someday. And that annoys her as much as the argument they'd had. ]
Did not. And you should, Al. That chivalry stuff is a load of crap and sexist.
[He struggles only slightly against his restraints as she gives his hair a tug. With pursed lips it would appear he's actually taking a minute to think his way through getting himself released. Of course, it's hard to do much of anything with his hands this far apart - he can't use alchemy like this either.]
It's not crap! Besides... you like it and don't even try and lie.
[There is a mischievous glint in his eyes as he silently suggests bringing up some of those moments from their past where Ed would randomly blush when it came to the actions of other men treating her like a girl.]
[ One of those moments kind of like now. His comment makes color form in her cheeks and she scowls, sitting up again in order to cross her arms. It's a bit true, she does like the attention she gets at times, but would never admit to blushing in response. She likes to think she likes the attention as the famous Fullmetal Alchemist, and that's it.
Huffing, she turns her knees inward to get them digging ever so slightly into Al's sides. ]
Do not. [ A pause as if she's trying to figure out how to word something. ] I mean, it's nice when you do it sometimes, but most of the time it's just annoying.
[Ah to be able to entice a response with his hands tied, at least there is hope he'll get out of this yet. The digging of Edward's knees is easy enough to ignore for now.]
Do too... what about all those times the Colonel insisted you follow orders and report to him, trust him because he was only trying to help you?
[ The blush in her cheeks intensifies, even as her expression darkens even more. A huff and she jerks her head to indicate that Al is far from the truth (even though he's like spot on). Her thighs dig in a bit more and she squirms uncomfortably with being put on the spot. ]
You mean the look of unadulterated loathing? Al, he's a jerk. Don't need his help anyway.
[He knows and he supposed if he were a girl that he might find the Colonel good looking as well. As that wasn't the case either all he can do is laugh a little bit, but the way he see's it if anyone is allowed to tease Ed about the little crush she has, it's him.]
[ Even more flustered now, she flails slightly, throwing her hands in the air before slamming them down on the cushions on either side of Al's head. Heat emanates from her face, but her eyes are flashing dangerously. ]
Al... What're you even thinking, huh?
[ So what if she might have the littlest of crushes on the bastard colonel (except she'll swear up and down that she doesn't)? There is and always will be one person that means more to her than anyone else. ]
[ Digging her fingers into the cushions (and there goes the leather as it rips under her automail fingers), she scowls even more. Stupid Al. Stupid, stupid Al. How does he not get it?
Huffs, looking away as the color in her cheeks intensifies. What he's implying that she's thinking isn't too far from wrong, it being only a half-formed idea in her head. But even with how intimate they tend to be (sharing beds, holding hands, long embraces), that kind of step is altogether different. One she's entertained several times, but always uncertain with how to initiate. ]
I tied you up 'cause you were being a jerk. Did- You wouldn't think I'd... do it for something else... would you?
[His eyes drift off to the side as he hear the tear of fabric as it begins to tear beneath the weight of those metal fingers. He's getting his way, but that was to be expected, this type of teasing always pushed her to extremes. Wriggling the wrist beneath the loose strap he begins to try and work that hand free, while he continues to hold eye contact with his sister.]
You know I was only teasing... I wouldn't do anything like that when I know it make you uncomfortable.
[The thought that she would even do something like this to initiate something else goes unanswered, mostly because the thought that she was even interested in him like that seemed so outlandish. They were siblings after all... siblings that did things most siblings didn't. However, when you risked your lives for one another on a daily basis and went through practically hell and back to restore the other. Well, it was hard not to feel something... and there are many nights that Al still remains awake watching Ed as she sleeps. Moving the hair away from her face and
( ... )
[ Flustered as she is, she doesn't realize what he's doing. She's too focused on her inner thoughts, caught on the way that he hasn't answered her question. It's telling in a certain way. Maybe they've both wondered about the closeness of their relationship, with how they really aren't like normal siblings, and maybe Al wouldn't mind if she did take the next step. But she doesn't know for sure and that's just a bit scary.
Shifting her gaze to catch his eyes again, she wonders if she can test her question. With the mind of a scientist as usual, she wonders if there's an experiment she could do to get an answer out of Al without outright asking. And given their current positions, it soon comes to her. As she nibbles on her lower lip, she gives her hips a tentative twist. Just a little to create friction between her body and his and thereby testing the waters a little. ]
What about you, Al? Does this- [ Another timid shift of her hips. ] -make you feel uncomfortable?

Nope. Not gonna happen, Al. This is your fault.

Well, I could always mention something to the Colonel next time we're in Central...
[But his words trail off as Ed demands to know what he's thinking about and he shrugs, arms falling still as he stops struggling.]
I could ask you the same thing... tying up your baby brother like this.
