DISCLAIMER I don't own FullMetal Alchemist, I merely transmuted a fan-fic from late night insomnia…
Mustangs New Cat
Roy Mustang strutted out of Central Head Quarters. The sky was fluffed with clouds and his expression soured. "It's going to rain," he grumbled, before stretching and yawning broadly. Another all nighter, thanks to Full Metal's stupid battle request. He'd get home, sleep for five hours, and be back here. He reached the perimeter gate…
Then darted back and leaned against the wall. There was a rustling noise on the other side.
I'm the only one left here so late, he thought. Someone's waiting to jump ME, the Flame Alchemist? What a fool…
He leaned towards the gate, fingers poised to click at a moments notice. He began to peer round; more rustling.
CLICK.
He jumped into the open. "You thought you could defeat me, the almighty Colonel Mustang, master of the flame? How do you like that? Hahahaha!"
A pink buggy stood before him, and he had lit the lace on fire. A yellow kitten appeared in the opening and mewed, eyes bugging in terror.
Mustang yelped and flailed helplessly, then swiped the kitten from its burning home, which soon became a pile of ash.
He glared up at the singed kitten in his hands. "Cat, huh?"
His face transformed into a demonic scowl. "I hate cats! They sleep whenever they feel like it! They wet the carpet! Expect food whenever they desire it and think humans are their slaves! Oh, loathsome evil creature how I despise the!"
He dumped the kitten on the ground. It blinked its wide amber eyes up at him beseechingly and mewed.
"Looks like I burned down your house, huh?" He looked up at the darkened, cloudy sky. "And it's going to rain." He ruffled its fur, before standing and walking away. "That's too bad. I can't transmute it back from ash."
"Mew."
He paused and looked at the pile of ash. "That looked like Full Metal's work. So, I was meant to take care of you if I lost, huh?"
"Mew."
He scooped up the kitten and dumped it unceremoniously in his pocket. "I didn't lose, so I'm not keeping you. But you can stay in my place tonight. Call it an equivalent exchange, for burning your house down. I'll make you a new one tomorrow…"
A/N Willing to bet he keeps the cat? Just a bit of fun really, but reviews welcome and appreciated as always!
