Title: Little Accidents

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist | (AU)

Characters: Roy Mustang, Edward Elric (technically), Maes Hughes

Prompt: None, really. I was doing quick writes, and 'Accidentally in Love' came on. I just had to finish it.

Word Count: 272

Rating: PG-13. Roy make-a the swear. ...I think. Also, gay people. :)

Summary: Roy has a little admirer. Which would be great, if his little admirer weren't out for blood.

Author's Notes: This one was a quick little plot bunny that bit and bit hard. I might add a few more, now and then, but if I do, they'll be in oneshot form.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, or the song that inspired this wee jaunt.

"I think he's trying to kill me, Hughes." So sayeth Roy Mustang to his longtime friend and (he hesitated to say) subordinate, Maes Hughes.

Hughes arched a brow at him as if his sanity were teetering on the edge of his coffee mug.

A few seconds of silence, then, "Who, Roy?"

"My mechanic. The little fucker that's been working on my car."

"Edward Elric?"

"The same. How do you know him?" Roy eyed him suspiciously, wondering whether Hughes was conspiring with the cheeky blonde to cut his brake lines.

Hughes rolled his eyes, "He's Alphonse's brother."

"Alphonse as in Elysia's manny?"

"We don't really use that term, but yes."

"He couldn't hurt a fly! How the hell could he have a little brother like Ed? What that kid lacks in height, he makes up for in pure, unadulterated rage."

"Alphonse mentioned that he's a little sensitive about his height... He also said that Edward is his older brother."

"...What?"

"Ed is the older Elric sibling."

Roy stumbled to his feet, as if burdened by the wealth of information. He moved for the door, mumbling about paperwork.

Before he could exit, however, Hughes called to him, smiling with his teeth bared and the glare from the overhead fluorescents obscuring any of the humanity behind his glasses.

"And, Roy? If the murder attempt you're referring to is the sudden increased velocity of your car...?"

"?"

"Wouldn't you do 'nice things' for the person you like?"

Roy left him with a flush of red and the slamming of a door.

A/N: More updates to my other works are coming very soon. I hope you enjoyed this one, short as it may be. Much love.
