A/N: Presenting to you, my first actual drabble(which is exactly one hundred words!). Inspired by that scene in FMA: B, episode 58. Only, it's an AU drabble. So it's sort of a spoiler, but sort of not, 'cuz this doesn't actually happen but is based on a scene that did. Confused yet?
Disclaimer: Please kindly crawl out from the rock you are living under if you think that I, this nobody writer wannabe owns Fullmetal Alchemist. Hiromu Arakawa owns this awesome, awesome manga(and I'm 90% sure that Square Enix owns the anime...).
Blood on My Face
A drabble by CelestialSands
She was dripping blood on my face.
Her arm just wasn't built to handle that much weight. Even without King Bradley hanging off me, I was still heavy.
I had insisted than she left me to die. She insisted that it was their duty. Except that 'they' were they no more.
Just her.
I decided that Old Man Fu, who protected me since birth, should be a higher priority.
"I'm sorry. "
Smiling weakly, I shook myself loose.
"… After all, a king exists for his people."
"But without the king, there can be no people!" she screamed.
"… Sorry."

Yes, it's super short, but it's meant to be exactly one hundred words. Ah, drabbling. What a lovely pastime.
