Drabble Meme
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.

I chose Roy/Ed as my pairing (of course). ^^ Some of them may be up to a light-R rating, but really they aren't bad. I think #1 and #3 turned out the best. #2 is the worst, and the others are okay. Keep in mind these were written in about a 3 minute time frame, so sorry if they could be using some improvement.
1. Why Can’t I // Liz Phair
Every time Roy laid his eyes on Ed he found his breath catching. He couldn’t help it, the boy was just stunning. Golden flowing hair adorned his head, and the fierce gaze of his eyes matched. It wasn’t right, Ed was his subordinate, half his age, and well, a male. Still, every time he barged his way into Roy’s office, he found himself once again captivated. It was easily covered by a smirk and a smug remark, but once Ed left Roy found himself still thinking about him all day.
2. Shut Up and Drive // Rihanna
“You know Ed, you really need to start being more careful when you’re gone on your missions,” Roy scolded his young lover, who was slouched in the passengers seat starring out the window.
Ed gave a “hmph” of acknowledgement, and didn’t turn to face him.
“And you should really work on your penmanship, it’s getting harder and harder to read your reports.” Once again Ed barely paid him any attention.
“And you should-“
“Would you just shut up and drive already?” Ed said, turning towards him finally.
3. Dude Looks Like a Lady // Aerosmith
“Well, that certainly is an… interesting choice of attire,” Roy said, his eyes running hungrily over the body of his young lover spread on the bed before him.
“Aw shut up, I know you like it, you sick bastard,” Ed replied, sticking his tongue out at him, “Now why don’t you come over here and show me how much you like it?”
Who was Roy to resist a hot blonde in a miniskirt offering himself up?

A while later Ed lay his head against Roy’s chest. “That was amazing,” he sighed.
“You know,” Roy replied, “I think you make a better women than a man.”
An automail knee to the gut was the reward for his comment.
4. Dirty Little Secret // The All-American Rejects
Al hated this. He could tell when his brother was keeping something from him, and usually with a little prompting he could get him to confess. However, this time it had been weeks and he still couldn’t coax the secret out of his brother. He knew he was hiding something from him, brother didn’t grin like that for no reason.
He didn’t expect that the secret would be something like that though. And that had been quite the surprising way to find out. He decided next time he wanted to talk to his brother while he was having a “meeting” with the colonel, he would knock first.
5. Love Fool // The Cardigans
Ed knew. He knew he was nothing more than a quick fuck for the man, a way to get off some tensions. But he didn’t care. He would do anything to keep what little relationship he had with the colonel, anything.
“He loves me, he really does. He’s just afraid to say it. Doesn’t want to make me feel obligated into anything because of his rank over me.”
Al just shook his head sadly as he listened to more of his brother’s babbled excuses.
