Four RoyEd Drabbles
I did the 45 RoyEd themes challenge on FFN, and decided to post a few of my favorite ones here.
Title: RoyEd Drabbles
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: RoyEd
Spoilers: None, really.
Warnings: None.
Notes: Four drabbles from the 45 themes (Notebook, Difference, Wait a Second, and Instinct)
11. Notebook (82 words)
Edward flipped through the notebook he'd found on Mustang's desk. According to Havoc, who had seen him pick it up, it was his alchemy notes, which were encoded as the names of women he'd dated or slept with or even just had a crush on (somehow, Ed didn't believe the Colonel had crushes).
So far, he'd only seen one name twice, and the notebook was almost entirely full.
Katie, Melissa, Rachel, Edward, Laura, Sarah... Typical female names.
Hold on. Double take.
"MUSTANG!"
21. Difference (199 words)
There were several differences between Roy Mustang and Edward Elric. One had raven hair and black eyes while the other had blonde hair and golden eyes. Roy was calm and collected while Ed was short-tempered.
But the most glaringly obvious difference was their height, and Roy's favorite past time was pointing this out and taking advantage Edward's short temper. It was a ritual of theirs.
Edward would walk into the office, Roy would crack a few short jokes and Edward would yell while Roy chuckled under his breath. Then he would hand in his report, they would have a serious conversation concerning the Philosopher's Stone, and Ed would leave.
It was the same thing they'd been doing for six years when Ed decided to try something different.
He entered the office, stalked over to the desk, and slammed the folder onto Roy's desk.
"Oh, Fullmetal," Roy said, smirking. "If you hadn't entered the room so loudly, I never would have seen y--" He was cut off by Ed pressing his mouth to Roy's.
It was Ed's turn to smirk. "I figured that would shut you up," he said, and then turned and walked out, leaving Roy completely speechless.
23. Wait a Second (120 words)
"Wait a second."
Roy froze. He hadn't expected Edward to stop him from leaving, especially after he had done something so rash.
He turned slowly, almost afraid of the short alchemist. Suddenly he found himself grabbed by the lapels of his unbuttoned shirt and yanked down to Ed's level. For a moment, he thought maybe Ed had forgiven him...
Instead, he got a metal fist in his face and shoved away roughly, slamming into the wall. Roy rubbed his jaw, wincing. It felt broken.
Edward approached him again and gave Roy a swift kick in the knee with his automail leg and throwing him out the door. "That's the last time you call me by the wrong name, you bastard!"
23. Instinct (193 words)
Roy Mustang prided himself on his natural instinct for danger. It had saved him several times, especially during the Ishbal rebellion. It didn't only apply to danger, either. He could sense when someone was trying to scare or surprise him.
As soon as he told Edward this, he, of course, became determined to scare Roy. At first, it had been rather obvious, as every time Roy left his office when Fullmetal was in town, he would pop out of no where. Roy would see it coming a mile away, and Ed would be disappointed.
One day, it all stopped. Ed didn't pop out from behind desks, or attack him from behind. After six months, Roy didn't even bother preparing himself.
Eight months after the last 'surprise' attack, Edward stared at him from across the desk as he handed in his report. "Nothing," he said dully.
"Ah, well," Roy said, knowing full well there had been nothing. "It was a good le--" He was cut off roughly by Ed grabbing him and covering his lips with his own.
When he pulled away, Edward was smirking at the shocked expression Roy wore. "Got you."
