I have absolutely no idea how this came into existence. O.o I was just happily walking along doing my thing (namely trying to update my RK fic) when all of a sudden…
SMACK!
X.o
I was smacked in the face with a plot bunny.
And let me tell you, when a bunny gets thrown at you, it WILL try to SCRATCH YOUR EYES OUT! –cringes-
Anyways, this is bit serious at the beginning, so the actual genre for the story is humor/(light) angst/romance/(87.45364567 ½)pure crack.
Though not in that exact order…or percentage…X3
PAIRINGS: RoyxEd (duh) and (IMPLIED, A BARELY EXSISTENT!) RoyxRiza and (ALSO IMPLIED) RizaxHavoc (I'm becoming quite fond of this pairing…)
But mostly RoyxEd….
And I have no idea if electricity even exists in the FMA world (with the time period and all but…electricity should've been discovered by then in the FMA world, right? Right!)
….If it doesn't, let's just pretend it does, my sanity is on the line here…
Be warned, dear reader, the content of this fic has –dramatic pause- YAOI! –Dun dun DUN!- If that is not your cup of tea, (Hee hee hee..buy YAOI tea today! Now in Sweet Lemon flavor XD! You'll have to excuse me, I let my mind out for a walk, and it hasn't come back yet…) then go read something else!
Namely my Resident Evil fic. –End shameless plug-
I aslo do not own FMA, or this might've actually happened in the anime...maybe...not really...
Now Mizurio presents her first ever FMA fic…
Pitch Black! (Cue dramatic violin music…)
Chapter One
"Mrrowr…"
"Al, what the hell was that?"
Said giant suit of armor jumped at the sudden break of silence. "Um,er…ah, it's nothing! Yup, it must be the wind! You're just hearing things brother…." The empty suit of armor quickly answered and hurried out of the central library mumbling about something that Edward didn't quite catch. It was something along the lines of 'pouring rain', or 'never ending pain'. Whatever, he didn't really care at the moment, as he was to busy looking over one of the many alchemy books that he'd just pulled off one of the many huge books shelves of the Central Library. He flipped through the pages without reading, and put the hardcover book back in its rightful place on the shelf.
At this rate he'd never be able to recover from the strange encounter he'd had not even 24 hours ago with a certain smug bastard…He pulled out another book, making sure it was twice as thick as the last. He immediately flipped it open and began to read it while making his way to a nearby chair. By the time he was sitting in the chair all he was doing was staring blankly at the pages and reliving that moment that had happened not to long ago over and over in his mind. Arrgh…damn you, Mustang! Thunder clashed outside the walls of the building where a raging storm was taking place, as if to emphasize his anger with the said Man.
If only he hadn't gone in at that particular moment, then maybe it wouldn't have happened. Then again, his whole life was practically based on a series of 'what if's' and 'if only's'. For example: What if he had never tried to bring his mother back to life? What if he hadn't been able to bring back Al as a suit of armor? What if he'd known sooner that Tucker was going to use his own daughter and combine her with a dog to create a chimera? What if he'd never became a State Alchemist? These kinds of thoughts would go through his mind a least once a day. What if…
What if Mustang hadn't kissed him?
Yes, he could definitely now add that to his life long 'what if' list.
It had started when he was going to Roy's office to turn in his report on his latest mission. He wanted to just throw it at the bastard and stomp off without so much as a word of acknowledgement, but one insult lead to another, and Ed had walked up to the Colonel's desk to finally tell him off when all of a sudden he had been pulled across the desk and had ended up in Mustang's lap. The next thing he new both of their tongues were doing a dance that the young alchemist never though he would do with a man. Ed chalked it up as another one of the bastards' games, and had decided to play back. Only when Ed had felt a pair of gloved hands take off his belt and begin to unzip his pants did he realize that this was no game…
And that's when the Fullmetal Alchemist knocked his superior upside the head with his auto mail limb, grabbed his things, and hauled ass out.
And now he was here, STILL thinking about it….Note how you didn't say it wasn't nice…DAMNIT! Ed threw the book in his hands on the floor and walked toward the exit of the library. To once again try and clear his thoughts about you-know-what, he decided now would be a good time to find his younger brother.
BOOM! FIZZIT!
"SON OF A--!"
Roy Mustang slowly opened his eyes and was greeted with a looming darkness that engulfed his vision. He got up into a sitting position on the floor, and instantly regretted it when a sharp pain surged through the back of his enitre skull. Slowly, he began to put what pieces of his brain were left together…Shit.
Well, he now remembered why his head hurt, but why the hell was it so damn dark? He hadn't been hit that hard by Fullmetal, had he? He blinked a few times and the dark shape of his desk (that was about to break from the amount of paper work piled on it) came into view. The Colonel let out a sigh of relief knowing that he wasn't blind for life, and he slowly crawled over to his desk. Using said object as support he shakily got to his feet, the pain in his skull making itself known even more.
He heard the door open. "Sir, are you alright?"
Roy winced at the female voice ringing in his eardrums. "There's no need to yell Lieutenant. I'm fine just…lost my balance for a moment…" He mumbled.
Riza Hawkeye squint her eyes at her superior, she couldn't see his face all that well, but from the tone of his voice she could tell something had happened. She sighed. He'd probably tripped over his own two feet when the lights went out, just like most of the other inhabitants of the building had done. (Havoc being a sever case, had been set to the infirmary. He had tried to light up a nearby plant on a secretary's desk as a source of light with his now some-what trusty lighter. Things did not end well, as the blonde was now missing half an eyebrow and a sleeve of his military uniform, along with some severs burns to his hands.)
"Sir, the storm outside has caused the electricity to go out as well as back up generators to malfunction."
Roy prayed to god that 1st lieutenant couldn't see him (or the neglected paper work) and cautiously walked toward the door. "I see…" he said irritably. "Then, I'm leaving." I'll have to settle things with Fullmetal later…
"As was I was about to suggest, but take this with you."
Roy suddenly felt something shoved against his chest; it was warm, furry, and purring like crazy. "L-Lieutenant…What the hell?"
"It's called a cat, sir."
"Ah…" He responded, absent mindedly scratching the feline behind the ears. Then it sunk in. "Alphonse."
"Find him and Fullmetal, and I'll pretend that pile of paper ready to crack your desk in two doesn't even exist…(at least until the light come back on…)"
The man was about to protest to his subordinates request but quickly changed his mind when he heard the click sound of a gun being loaded. A lighter (that had once belonged to a certain 2nd lieutenant) flickered to life and Riza was finally able to see Roy's bruised face. Tripped in the dark her ass.
"Sir."
"Hm?" Roy continued to stroke the fur of the cat in his arms.
Riza couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Go get an ice pack. And apologize when you find Fullmetal." She said walking away, and she could've sworn she heard the Colonels' jaw hit the floor.
Alphonse Elric was dead still. He couldn't believe what he'd just done, and what he had just heard. If he had a jaw, it would most definitely be on the floor right now.
How could he have been so careless!
That poor, poor kitty….
Let's start from the top…
The suit of armor had been walking along the halls, minding his own business when the lights had suddenly gone out. Out of concern for his animal friend he gently pulled the cat out of his armor to make sure she was still alright. Thankfully, she was. He stroked her ears gently and safley made his way to one of the benches near by a secretary's desk. He could make out the faint shape of a woman sitting behind the desk and he asked what had just happened.
"Oh! There's nothing to worry about little boy—" Al just sighed, he didn't blame her. Although he was a huge suit of armor and looked intimidating once in awhile, he still had the voice of a child, "—The powers gone out is all. Just sit tight and we'll wait for the lights to come on together, alright?" The woman said cheerfully, which gave Al the feeling that this had happened a lot before he ever came here.
"Alright…" He said softly. He was truly grateful that he had company, or else he would've been running around looking for his brother. He decided it best if Ed find him instead. Besides, he couldn't just leave this poor woman all alone in the dark.
And that's when trouble literally walked by.
"Hello? Anyone over here?"
"Second Lieutenant! Hello!" The secretary greeted. "Are you okay, you sound quite troubled…"
"It's nothing. Are you by yourself? I could keep you company you know…."
Al didn't have tosee to know that there was a huge smirk plastered on the mans' face. "AHEM"
"Awha-?"
"Oh my, are you alright, little one?"
"I'm quite alright, thanks."
"ALPHONSE?"
"Hello, Second Lieutenant Havoc." Al said as deadpan and robotic-like as he could, knowing that it always freaked the man out. He heard shuffling noises and saw a lighter light up and bring life to a cigarette. "Those will kill you, you know."
"And so will sitting around here doing nothing." Havoc responded, trying to lighten the mood. "C'mon, I'll lead you two outta here."
"No thanks, I'm waiting for brother."
"As much as I appreciate the offer, I can't see a hand in front of my face!" The secretary replied. Havoc sighed, the lady was right, it was very dark. And his lighter was a piece of crap; it was pure luck that he'd gotten it to work just now.
"Well then," He pulled over small plant from the corner of the woman's desk. "How about this…" He took the still lit cigarette from his mouth and placed the fiery tip on one of one of the plants leaves.
"NO, JEAN DON'T—"
FWOOSH! "AAAAH! PUT IT OUT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...!"
"MRRAAAAWWWR!" The cat in Al's metal arms went haywire at the scene and bolted out of the armors arms and into the darkness.
"No! Plum, come baaack!" Al shouted, chasing after the affectionately named cat, not caring to look back at the two left to control the fire.
"Pluuuum!"
Back to reality…
Al hung his head in sadness as he listen to Riza give Roy his kitty. If only he'd found her sooner…"Plum…" If the cat stayed in the Flames' hands for long, Plum would be set outside in the rain in no time.
Don't worry plum; I'll get you back no matter what!
I think I'll stop here. Yes there are some plants that are quite flammable, but I cant remember any of there names at the moment…..
I have no idea what made me write this (we see a plot bunny that eerily looks like Riza holding a gun to Mizurio's head) but I think that I'm doing pretty well so far.
Please review and leave comments and criticism, as it will make the plot bunny happy (Plot bunny: -Smiles innocently while still holding gun-), and it will make me happy, therefore making me write a second chapter, which in turn just might have some RoyxEd. XD
You know you want to….
PLUM THE ALMIGHTY KITTY COMMANDS YOU TO REVIEW!
Al: O.O Plum! Where? Don't worry, I'll save you Plum! –runs off to find said kitty-
Well, that was odd. XD Brain…still out…on that walk…
So, will you review? Hope Plum-kitty didn't scare you to badly….
