A/N: Drabble 12, here I come and get it. OMFG. Too much FLCL.

12. Hot Day (199 words)

It was very hot. Boiling hot. Fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk hot. It didn't help that the heat had caused a brownout and the air conditioner wasn't working.

It was lunch break, and Edward was eating outside so he wouldn't melt inside the command center. His jacket and black shirt were tossed aside carelessly, leaving the blonde in his tank top.

"If you stay out here for too long, Fullmetal, you'd going to suffer a heat stroke."

Ed looked up at Roy, sleepy with heat. "At least I'm not forced to wear that uniform," he responded. "I bet you're just a pile of goo inside your clothing."

"Come inside," Roy commanded. "The air conditioner is fixed."

Ed held up his right hand so Roy could help him to his feet and, without thinking, the Flame Alchemist reached out a bare hand and took the steel one.

"Ouch!" Roy jerked his limb back to his body and cradled the burnt flesh.

Ed looked at his automail in amusement. "Huh. Forgot how hot that can get. Guess it comes with traveling with someone made of armor for so long..."

Roy glared. "Just get inside," he said before storming back inside for a pack of ice.

A/N: I'm trying to make every drabble UNDER 200 words. Not 200 or less. 199 or less. This specific drabble started out as 248 words. xo Oops?

Haha, no RoyEd. Just Roy and Ed.

Also, I don't like this drabble. Oh well.

Reviewer Responses!

Dea Lunae - Yeah. It's gonna take some getting used to. I doubt that's how it -really- happened (even though I wrote it oO;). That was just the gist of it. x3 Three o.o; I wasn't drowned, heh... Yes. Edward is short. Shorty short short. Shorty McShort (that's my nickname :D!) Heh. I luff my notebook drabble. It's my favorite. :D It's sort of shorter than the others. o.o; Not by much... Thanks for the review :D

Marii - Thank you:D I'm quite proud of that drabble. I show it off to everyone, even RoyEd haters. I'm so good... x3 I didn't hold still at all. I was like, bouncing up and down and like SQUUUEEEEEEEEE! By the way, the girl that plays Winry, Caitlin Glass, is the Queen of Squee. I loved her too, she was fun :D Except she wrote Winry hearts Ed one of my wall scrolls and Ed hearts Winry on my poster and I was trying SO HARD not to crack up... Uh... o.o; If you IM me or email me, I'd be glad to give it to you! My contact info is on my profile and in one of these drabbles... I'm trying to update but I got distracted by Sarah... o.o; Thanks for the review!

FireanIce - Heh. Wow, you type better than I do when I'm not coherent. When I'm incoherent and typing, it comes out like this : Iwanfkdlsgd... Yeah... :D Thanks for the review!

Uchiha Kuraiko - Hee! I love Roy. :D I actually heard that was actually how he encodes his notes... But I'm not sure. When I meet Travis (absolutely positive I will, by the way. I have to show him my "You want me to do WHAT?" picture), I will ask him. That's how I found out how tall Edward really is :D I asked Vic. I bought THREE doujinshis. One was just called "Edward Elric x Roy Mustang: Fullmatal Alchemist" (yes it was spelled like that), one was called Classic Milk 2004 and the last one was called Messiah. All had pretty pretty art. Although Ed looked rather young in Classic Milk and uh, that one was very dirty. ;D! Thanks for the review :D

Lady Damali - Hee! Everyone is jealous of me! Finally o.o; Hehehe. Ed is funny when he's pissed (but you know he's secretly happy :D). Thanks for the review!
