35. Light
"You can't keep that up forever, y'know –"
"Shut up, Fullmetal."
"I'm just sayin', fire needs oxygen, and s'much as we need t'see, I think we need t'breathe more."
"I'm well aware what fire needs. I've only devoted most of my life to studying it."
"I'm just sayin'. When I start to get light-headed, I'm gonna faint right on you."
"Don't worry, the environment is much more oxygen-rich closer to the ground."
"...Did you –!?"
"I'm only saying, Fullmetal."
"Fuck you, Mustang. Now put the light out. I feel light-headed."
"Edward."
"Mustang."
Sigh. Pft-sss.
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
"...Mustang?"
"What, Fullmetal?"
"Now what?"
Sigh.
Though a 100 word limit doesn't allow for back story, I like to imagine what led up to this one. XD I'm thinking Ed did something stupid to bring a building down on them, and now they're trapped in a little bitty enclosed space underneath a metric ton of rubble. Where Ed is left to endlessly annoy Roy and vice versa. Joy! :D
