Writing Prompt #8:
"Don't come near me - I'm eating peanut butter!"
Ever since Alphonse's body had been restored, life in Mustang's office hadn't been the same.
Ed had taken a desk job with the others, so he was still around. And when Ed was around, Al was never far away.
So Alphonse sittin beside Fuery eating from a jar of peanut butter wasn't very odd. Well, eating from a peanut butter jar was, but the others hadn't questioned it. Alphonse needed the healthy fats peanut butter provided to help him build up his strength. He was still far too skinny from being recently restored.
Edward hadn't been seen yet, but they knew he wasn't far away. So it wasn't unexpected when the blonde alchemist walked in.
"Hey, guys, I-" Edward was stopped short by Alphonse, who suddenly shouted, "don't come near me - I'm eating peanut butter!"
Ed stopped in his tracks and the others turned toward Alphonse like he had lost his mind.
"Thanks for the warning, Al," Ed responded, which caused the others to turn to him like he'd lost his mind too.
"Is there something deadly in that peanut butter that we should know about?" Havoc asked, moving his chair further from Alphonse.
"No, I'm allergic to nuts," Ed told. "I can't eat peanut butter, but I can stand near it, Al."
"How have we known you since you were eleven and not know you were allergic to nuts?" Breda asked.
Ed shrugged. "Hawkeyes and Mustang knew."
"What happens when you have nuts?" Havoc asked.
"His face swells up like a balloon," Alphonse answered.
"We should give you nuts to see this." Breda grinned.
"NO!"
You'll notice I skipped #7, but that's just because I'm planning on posting it a little closer to Halloween.
