O_O hi. XD what i was thinking when i wrote this, i have no idea all i knew is i wanted a Ling x OC story where the OC jumps on Ling's head. so yeah XD
Disclaimer: i don't own FMA:B or it's characters. i own Yei but not Coulomb because legit Coulomb is a real character.
It was a relatively cool day and two very obvious Xingese teens were standing in front of a shop waiting for the shop owner to bring out their food. "Coulomb." The girl whined making the boy look over, "Patience. If you're just going to whine about it then go run around a bit, work up an appetite." Coulomb said and the girl whined again, "I can't work up much more of an appetite."
Coulomb glared at her and the girl turned around on her heel and ran off, glancing back over her shoulder every once and a while. With a sigh she ran up a pile of boxes and jumped off, landing squarely on someone's head bending her knees and extending her arms to her sides to keep her balance.
Slightly confused she jumped off and landed on the man in armor, who sat across from the one she's landed on. "What are you?" she asked with a tilt to her head as she crouched down to look at the man's helmet. When she felt two new presences behind her she jumped to avoid two kunai before landing on the armor again.
With a smirk she hooked the helmet on her foot and kicked it into the air before roundhouse kicking it at the two. "Yei, come along!" Coulomb called as he began darted past, Yei hummed a little before jumping off the armor and running after him. "Get back here!" a voice yelled and Yei turned around briefly before squeaking and running quicker, grabbing Coulomb's arm as she passed.
"Run!" she cried before giggling, "Yei who did you piss off this time?" Coulomb demanded as he too began running faster, not bothering to look over his shoulder.
"Hmmmm, dunno. Jumped off some boxes and landed on someone's head then I jumped on a man in armor, who honestly doesn't have a flow of chi, which creeps me out. Then two people tried to attack me and I kicked the armor's helmet at them then ran after you as you passed."
Coulomb gave her a somewhat angry glare before he said, "You need to learn to watch where you go because then we wouldn't be getting into fights every day and using most of our money on buying medical supplies!"
Yei giggled before letting go of his arm to stop, pull a pin on a flash grenade and throw it at the four chasing them. "Split up. I'll meet you back at the rendezvous point." She said as she ran past Coulomb, the elder teen gave her a glare before running off down an alley to the right. The younger teen giggled and whistled to get the attention of her pursuers, "Catch me if you can!"
With another giggle she was off, humming as she ran. Soon she used a few men as steps to climb up onto a roof. Giggling more when she heard frustrated groans Yei increased her speed.
Soon the urge to run along the edge of the building won out and she stepped up onto it before extending her arms to the side before running more. Suddenly a teen dropped in front of her, sword drawn and expression nothing short of angry.
Yei stopped and tilted her head to the side cutely before saying, "Took you long enough."
The teen was visibly confused but that just made Yei giggle more, "Too late though~." She sang before running towards him, her knife in hand but hidden behind her, "Yei do not harm him just come along!" Coulomb's voice snapped making her freeze before sighing and turning to jump off the building.
Coulomb grabbed her hand and pulled her up on the building he was on. "If we don't hurry we'll miss our ride and the food will spoil." He grunted and Yei hummed as she began following the elder teen chirping out a cute 'okay'.
"Why didn't you want me to hurt him?" she asked eventually and Coulomb grunted, "Long story but to put it simply I know him and he may or may not remember me." He stated and Yei frowned.
They reached the train station and Coulomb paid for their tickets as Yei began eating her food. "Not nearly as good as the food back home but it's still yummy." She said as she began following the elder teen when he walked towards the train, he glanced at her over his shoulder. "They surely do not have the herbs that we have back in Xing so that is sensible." He pointed out and she nodded in both agreement and in time with her step.
"Come on," Coulomb said. "Be any slower and the train will leave without us."
Yei giggled and picked up her pace to catch up with Coulomb as he climbed onto the train. She spotted a garbage can and rushed over to put her empty food container in there before darting back to the train and up onto the steps. But a hand grabbed her hair and yanked hard.
With a cry she stumbled back onto the platform, "Coulomb!" she cried, as the train started moving, Coulomb poked his head out the window and his eyes widened. "Yei!" he shouted before ducking back into the train and running down the isle to try and get to the door.
"Coulomb," Yei cried again. "Help me!"
The elder teen got to the end of the train and stared back at the platform as the train took off, "YEI!"
Yei reached towards Coulomb helplessly, "COULOMB!"
"Fu," a voice shouted. "Let her go this instant!"
Instantly the grip on her hair was gone and without any thought she ran but all that happened was she ran right into a person. Teary-eyed she pulled back and took frantic retreating steps.
"I-I'm sorry," she stammered. "I-I didn't mean to land on your head, please just let me go all I want to do is get out of here." The teen from the roof looked down at her with a somewhat concerned expression. "You don't need to apologize," he said. "I could've chosen a better spot to sit and it should be me apologizing for my vassal making you miss your train."
Yei could only look down the track to the retreating train. "By the name of the Western Sage how will I pay for another ticket for the next train? He had all the money…" she said to herself before whimpering and letting her shoulders sag. This was going to be interesting.
hehehehe :3 review if you like! no review no next chapter(or i might put one up just because XD) and how Yei and Coulomb met will be explained in the next chapter.
