1. When he met him. 2. The first time Allen woke up from a nightmare crying. 3. One time Allen was badly injured and hit in the head (It wasn't Cross for once), and Cross had just finished kicking the shit out of whatever had messed with his student and picked Allen up. Allen was so delirious he thought he was Mana. Cross froze, and thought about holding him closer, but didn't. Later he hit him upside the head for it. 4. The first time they completely failed to save someone, and Allen was on his knees with his face in his hands in front of a makeshift grave for a homeless, nameless girl that nobody would ever remember except for them. He didn't say anything or move for an hour. Cross stood behind him, and didn't move or talk. But after one hour he turned to leave, and Allen forced himself up to follow him. 5. Allen burned his normal hand badly once when he was still pretty tiny, and looked at both of his hands for a long moment and just started crying, because they finally matched, but it hurt.
1. DIDN'T GET STRAIGHT A'S. She had high standards and knew he was a goddamn genius, what the hell's your problem boy. 2. Got into a fistfight with a customer who was harassing a working girl who was a big sister figure to him. Granted, he was in trouble for picking a fight with someone so much bigger than him (he was like, ten) and getting his ass kicked. And using really bad language. Honestly, what would people think of her if she had such a foul-mouthed bratty poor loser running around her business \o/ 3. ONE TIME when he was like thirteen, some mob dudes came in and his mom had to pay them off. Roy knew they were tight at the time (he was misinterpreting the situation though) and he offered to start working to help out. She blew him off and snorted and said there wasn't any market for it so he better put the idea out of his head (YOU KNOW, TALKING OVER HIS HEAD) And he got offended and said he'd already got offers so she could stfu! And she was like WHAT. And he got bitched at for not telling her when people were being skeevy pedos at him. 4. She found out he'd been having a LOT of sex in school and gave him a huge lecture about IDing STDs and it was basically the most horrifying talk Roy had ever had. 5. When he decided he wanted to leave home for a while and pursue an apprenticeship with Master Hawkeye. It was too far from home and she didn't want him to leave. When it became apparent that if she honestly stuck to being against it that Roy would stay, she let him go. She didn't scold him when she heard he wanted to join the military, however - that, she'd been predicting for some time.
