Drabble #25: Girlfriend
-----------------------------------
"So, Wrath, are you going to let us in on who your new sweetheart is, or no?" Envy asked, looking impatient. Wrath grinned, and took a sip of chocolate milk. "Maaaaaaybe…" he drawled, resting his legs on the kitchen table. Al rolled his eyes and said "Oh, come on, Wrath. Just tell them before Envy starts frothing at the mouth." Ed nodded worriedly in agreement—Envy looked as though he was about to hurt something…or, knowing him, someone. Clearing his throat, Wrath brushed a few strands of raven-black hair out of his left eye, and began:
"As you all know, Alphonse and myself went to visit the…erm…packadermial Hughes family…"
"Gracia Hughes is related to elephants, is she?"
Wrath blushed crimson. "Oh, shut up. Anyway, Al n' I met the Hughes'. They were very nice. We had cake…"
Ed interrupted "So, who is it?!"
All of a sudden, Wrath blushed even harder. Twiddling his thumbs, he said in a tiny, embarrassed voice "Elysia Hughes."
At once, Envy and Ed began heckling the young Homunculus. "OH-HO! Somebody's got a girl who's underage, OOOOOH!!" Ed teased, ruffling Wrath's spiky hair. "My little baby's all grown up! Oh, this is so heart-wrenching…" Envy sobbed in a dramatic tone, hugging the raven-haired boy tightly. Ignoring the taunts and theatrics, Wrath continued "'N guess what? She doesn't care about me being a Homunculus!"
Silence filled the room. Envy smiled sadly, and hugged the boy even tighter. "Now this really is a cause to cry. For joy, anyway."
Ed and Al couldn't have agreed more.
