FMA Fic: Rule Number 23 (PG)

[what_works]

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Title: Rule Number 23
Author: Em
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~100
Characters: Roy, Hughes
Summary: On the day of his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, Roy makes a few rules for his new subordinates.
Notes: I challenged katilara to write a drabble based off the prompt "Roy goes on a date and discovers something." (Her awesome contribution is Hops To.) I'm not terribly worried about sticking to prompts, apparently.


Rule Number 23

"Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel." Maes dropped the bottle of wine on Roy's desk. "Heard the news?" he asked the office in general.

Roy's new subordinates grumbled, clearly still annoyed about the newly sanctioned "Mustang's Regime" office rules.

"Kind of hard to miss it, Major." Roy pointed to the balloon bouquet.

"Tasteful, huh?" Maes winked. "How about I take you to dinner tonight?"

Roy smiled, nodded. A free dinner was never a bad way to celebrate.

"Eight-ish?" Maes leaned over. "Wear something alluring," he mock-whispered.

As Maes strode out, Roy snapped, "Addendum. Rule number twenty-three: No chuckling at your commanding officer's expense."


~Comments and feedback fall under rule number 24.

*snort* You're right, you're not terribly concerned with prompts, but it's ok. <3

I swear, I tried. But this is the one that turned out the best.

Also, Maes is not made for drabbles, OMG.

I'm writing a read Roy/Hughes piece that should be fun and I have some other FMA thoughts in my head. I love getting new fandoms. ;)

Hehehe, I really liked this. Hughes is just made of awesome. :)

Why do I get the feeling that rule #23 is going to be very hard for his subordinates to follow? ;)

[theemdash]

Hughes is totally made of awesome.

And I'm sure #23 is difficult to follow. I break it all the time. ;)
