Hey everyone! I'm going to try to destroy my writer's block and challenge myself by writing one theme per day (and it's summer now so... nothing else to do!). I'm just trying to improve as much as possible, so feedback is most certainly appreciated. Enjoy~

prompt: beauty


At first, he really doesn't understand why she feels the need to keep such rigorous practices. At only thirteen she balks at the thought of going to sleep without at least washing her face first (and putting on all these different lotions and creams that are apparently beneficial); Ed didn't take her for the kind of girl to worry over something that he considers so petty. He teases her one evening -when he and Al are stopped back in their hometown for a repair.

"I don't want zits," she huffs, indignant, before poking his cheek (which, he notes bitterly, is less smooth than hers).

"Zits aren't that bad," he huffs back at her, but he is strangely silent for the rest of the evening.

Al doesn't mention it, but he notices his brother's beauty habits follow suit.
