Authoress Note: I'm just cleaning up some of my previous work and I actually really like this one even though I wrote it a few years ago. Figured I'd brush it up a bit.
Oh Hughes, being insane all the time has its advantages. Oh how I miss you.

Crazy

Maes Hughes was totally and utter pissed off today. It's a rather hard thing to believe, but he is only human. His black hair was tussled, his beard was looking more unshaven than usual, and he had dark rings underneath his eyes.
A mug of steaming coffee was nursed in his hands as he walked through the many HQ hallways, the rather disgruntled man taking a sip every now and then to ground himself.
"Hey Hughes!" Havoc greeted in a cheery voice as he walked over. Although he wasn't any different physically, his cigarette still clutched between his teeth, orange blond hair still the same as ever, his mood radiated with a friendliness that Hughes didn't possess at the moment.
Hughes inwardly groaned.
Why did everyone have to be so damn happy? He wanted to be alone at the moment! Hughes pretended to be listening, nodding his head and sipping his coffee until he found an opening.
"Havoc! Would you like to see a picture of my darling daughter! Here she is wearing a…" Hughes started, his face one of pure joy a reached into his pocket to retrieve the picture he always kept stashed there. He never finished his sentence because Havoc had bolted like a stricken deer at the word picture.
Hughes slowly tucked the picture back into his blue military pocket, before a small grin crawled across his face.
"Gets them every time." Hughes said to himself as he continued his way to his office, shoving pictures in anyone's face that even tried to bug him today. Yes, sometimes it pays to be insane all the time.
