Hey guys :D I just thought of this one-shot so I figured I'd write it, also I should be updating 'Comforting Times' fairly soon if anyone's curious. Im just at a dead end right now and I've been super busy with school. And I hate to say that, cause everyone says that on here but ive had some writer's block and I thought If I could write this maybe I would get out of it. So here you are. Also, I'm taking requests. So if someone has an idea for me to write, do tell. Don't hesitate to tell me about them and ill write them for you! Really!
Movie Sparks
Ridiculous. That's all he could say. Seriously, going out to a movie with his team? A movie? He's becoming too soft. Roy Mustang, was becoming a softie. Seriously. And not to mention that before he could object, that Hughes just had to invite Ed who was in his office at the time. Greaaattt.
Just what he needed. To be in a movie theatre with his subordinates- with Fullmetal- and act like it was the most normal thing in the world.
There were plenty of other things he could think of doing instead of this.
Like. Um… cleaning?
No, that wouldn't do.
A date.
Yeah that was a good one.
He could be going on a date, a date that sparks could fly, and possibly become boyfriend/girlfriend, and then become married to her and have kids and build a family and live a happy fucking life.
Well actually he really didn't want that, that was just his mind making up excuses to give to Hughes, since there was no way of getting out of this.
But of course, the reply to that excuse was, "Roy, it hasn't happened yet, it's certainly not gonna happen when you're in a movie theatre for an hour and a half. Besides, maybe you're future dream girl will be in the theatre!" And then that led to how he met Gracia outside of a movie theatre, and then that lead to of course, the inevitable.
"AND DOESN'T SHE LOOK ADORABLE IN THIS PICTURE? SHE'S AN ANNGEELLLL AND ABSOLUTE ANGEL! SHE JUST GOT A BUNNY YESTERDAY AND SHE ASKED ME TO HAVE A TEA PARTY WITH HER! IT WAS THE CUTEST THING SINCE SHE DID THAT ONE THING ONE TIME-"
Yeah the rest kinda went one ear and out the other.
So here, was the present. Where he was sitting between Fullmetal, and Havoc. Yippee.
The only good thing that came out of this was that he got free popcorn. Which, he honestly thought he would have had to have paid for but luckily Hughes thought of that and he was greeted with a bucket of popcorn being shoved in his face.
The movie started and the lights went out. He was surprised also, for the millionth time, that Fullmetal even agreed. Probably a threat from his brother that he needed to be social, or Maes coaxed him into it. He could just see it.
He placed the bucket of popcorn between him and Edward, so he could share it with him. He was glad that Edward looked like he was thinking of mental excuses to give to Hughes as well, since he sat there with his arms crossed, slouching in his chair with his lips in his normal scowl and his brows furrowing together suggesting he was concentrating on something rather important.
The movie was entertaining to say the least, at least it wasn't a chick flick like he had to watch whenever he went to movies with woman. About halfway through though, he was getting pretty bored seeing as it was going nowhere. Apparently Edward was too, since he was falling asleep.
About five minutes later he felt a weight on his shoulder and looked to find that Ed had fallen asleep and fell on him.
Just greeaatt. Really. Wonderful.
He always dreamed he could have an asleep Fullmetal leaning against him in the middle of a dark movie theatre watching a boring movie with boring subordinates and being bored. His dream had finally been fulfilled.
He shook his shoulder to find that Ed was a rather heavy sleeper. Another shake. Another one, another one, another one, another one, another one, another on-
"Damnit Fullmetal I'm sick of shaking your shoulder just wake up!"
"Nnngh.." Ed swatted Mustang's hands away but sat up straight rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Hell of a way to wake someone up, Mustang. Then again you must still be in 'hurry up and get dressed your boyfriend will be here any minute' mode for the ladies, huh.''
Mustang sighed. "Whatever."
Ed snickered but was shushed by Havoc. "Guys, could you move to the seats behind us? Maria wants to sit."
Roy facepalmed. He couldn't believe Havoc actually brought a date. He got up and walked around to the next aisle behind him as did Ed considering he didn't want to sit next to some strange woman while Havoc tried the same old 'stretching his arm and then putting it around her shoulder' move.
He reached for the popcorn but instead grabbed something else. He looked down to find that he was gripping Edward's fingers. "Whoops.. sorry.."
Mustang's eyes went wide as he let go of his hand and sat back down. It sounded really cheesy and it was, but pretty much about a million sparks flew right then. He looked down to see Ed was blushing as he did so easily, but his hand was in the same place that Mustang had left it.
Mustang wondered if Ed had felt the same thing he did.
Then again, there was only one way to find out.
He reached down again, looking as if he was just reaching for the popcorn, but instead grabbed Ed's hand and held it steady in his palm.
He squeezed it and didn't feel anything until he felt a hesitant squeeze back.
Aw, how adorable a cuddly embarrassed Edward.
Soon he found Edward leaning against him again, except this time intentional, and Mustang's arm wrapped around him while they kissed.
Suddenly, the lights flicked on and it looked as if they had burned each other or something compared to how fast they went away from each other and composed themselves to make it look like nothing had happened.
Although he was rather disturbed when he saw a rather amused looking Hughes smirking at him.
Mustang sighed and grabbed Ed's hand finding him blush again- this shade deeper- and lead him outside. He proceeded to go to his house with Ed following close behind.
Everyone always wondered why Ed was limping every day after the movies.
Hey I know it's kinda short, but not too short I guess. I had that in my notebook for a while. Anywho, again, if you have some requests I would be glad to write them for you.
Also, this is dedicated to my best bud who loves RoyEd as much as I do and fangirls with me everytime we talk. You know who you are ;)
