I bet while Al’s in the hospital post promised day there’s a pretty strict limit on how many people can visit him and there’s a fight about who gets to go in the first group because everyone’s dying to see him
Team Mustang gets in an argument amongst themselves about it
Havoc: I should go first. I wasn’t even at the battle when he came back.
Falman & Fuery: Neither were we!
Breda: None of us were except the Lieutenant and the Colonel.
Roy: Well I was blind! And I outrank you! I’m going in the first group.
Riza: We’re drawing straws.
Ed: omg literally none of you are going in the first group, Teacher and Sig are.
Which starts the new argument of who’s going in the second group. And it’s not just Team Mustang – it’s also Major Armstrong, Dr. Marcoh, Maria Ross, Denny Brosh, Zampano, Jerso, Heinkel, Darius – literally everyone wants to go see Al. The doctors are losing it because half those people are also injured and should be laying down and resting still, dammit – the boy’s brother was bad enough and now they have to deal with an entire room full of people ignoring doctors orders to go see the Elric boy
Ed complains to Al about everyone being idiots about it (even tho he’s thrilled – of course everyone loves Al, his brother is the Best) and Al’s so touched he starts crying
