Red Dress
Roy grumbled as he sat up. Ed was already gone to spend the day with his brother and he knew he had to get to work. However lack of sleep from the previous nights of working late had worn him out and he was ready to just call in sick.
Of course he quickly concluded that that idea wouldn't work, so against his will, he slid out of bed and stumbled toward his bathroom. He walked in half asleep, half awake, and with out even opening his eyes he turned the water on and splashed his face with cold water, in hopes of waking himself up.
He wiped his face with a towel and looked up at the mirror. He immediately noticed the bright red words written diagonally with lipstick on the mirror. He laughed out loud as he read the words:
Hey Colonel Jackass, Come home early tonight and I'll wear that dress you like so much.
Ed
He smiled. He'd bought Ed a bright red dress as a joke before they'd even begun a relationship. It was quite funny when Ed got it. And even funnier when, a few drinks later, they (Roy and Maes) managed to get him into it that very evening, when the boy was plastered.
Suddenly, going to work didn't seem so bad.
