Never What You Ask For, Always What You Want

a Fullmetal Alchemist drabble
by Fox in the Stars

Yes, it's glee. I never give you what you ask for, but I always give you what you really want.

A woman snatched for the warmth of family, afraid she was losing it - I sent her tumbling into her husband's arms. A boy wanted to be a better man than his father - I put him on that road. His brother wanted to go further, just once to be the special one - he did, and he was. A man had seen things he never wanted to see again...

But when he came the last time, he knew what he really wanted.


Author's Notes:

This is my first proper drabble, and my first (probably only) FMA fic; this idea has been in my head for a long time before I realized it didn't have to be anything bigger to be written. Hope you enjoyed it.
