A/N: 16th drabble! Celebration!

16. Promise (171 words)

"We can't, Edward, it's raining."

"So? You can sort of see shapes..."

"I see one giant mass of gray. A giant mass of gray that could very well rust your arm and leg."

Edward glared at the older alchemist. Roy glared back. "For your information," he said, "I have the best automail from the best automail mechanic and this automail will never rust."

"Okay, but I still don't want to go cloud watching today."

"Tomorrow, then."

Roy gave his lover a strange look. "Why do you want to go cloud watching anyway?"

"It just seems like something normal lovers do," Ed said, shrugging.

Roy leaned back in his chair. "But we aren't normal lovers."

Edward looked defeated. "Yeah, I know."

The colonel smiled sadly. He knew Edward wanted to be as normal as possible in any and all areas of his life, but Edward was not a normal person and that made it quite difficult. "If it's not raining, we will go cloud watching tomorrow."

"Promise?" Edward said, looking hopeful.

"Promise."

A/N: Ooh, that was cringingly bad. No, I didn't just make up the word "cringingly" for that sentence. Word says it's a word. So there. Nyeh.

I was going back and rereading my drabbles and I realized I made a mistake! In drabble 7, State Alchemist, it's suppose to say "Good morning, Fullmetal." not "Good morning, Edward." so you know that it's definitely Roy but you probably already knew that, because, uh, the title. oO;

Reviewer Responses!

Happiness's Deceit - HA! I got it right on the first try! Okay, so I lied. I accidentally put a v instead of a c. This position is hard to type in! I don't want to post them out of order n.n; I wrote 30 of them before I posted the first drabble, and now I only have two more to write. I just finished another one before I started typing the responses. :D Thanks for the review!

Marii - I could actually see that happening x3 We should tell that to my friend DG, who's very "EDWARD IS MINE AND NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE HIM!" Now, DG's my friend and I love her, but uh, Edward belongs to Roy and he's very possessive :) Also, he has those gloves... x3 Thanks for the review!

Genkai-chan - Thanks! That's okay, I don't always review TT.TT Sighing is so annoying, but I do it all the time. -sigh- ...Goddamnit. Thanks for the review!

Uchiha Kuraiko - Yum, barbequed Edward. x3 Thanks for the review!

Mistress Sprite - Yeah, see... Killin' em off is the easy way out. And it mixes things up a bit 'cause you gotta deal with the stuff that comes after, blah blah blah. Whatever. Just a sec, I'm listening to the FMA theme song. -dances- Okay I'm done. YAY! I luff RoyEd fanart! Have you seen Dogtags? xDDDDD Thanks for the review!

Lady Idhril - YAY! I luff reviews. xD I can't right -cough- "interaction" very well. xD FMA has SO MANY DRABBLES, you can't be a true fan unless you've read or written some. I do both! Yay drabbles! Thanks for the review!

Noniechan - Yeah. So there. Hmph. Er. I wish I knew a guy to fangirl with. TT.TT -attempts to talk cousin into liking FMA- It never works. Stupid anime-not-liking cousin. It was very sad! It made me cry twice as much as the anime. Of course, when I go to that part, I covered my head with a blanket... but still! My family gave up on saying "it's just a show." I GOT MY HAIR CUT LIKE EDWARD'S! It was just today, but whatever :D I luff my hair. -dyes it blonde- o.o; Heh. My mum ignores me when I make noise. Any noise. -sigh- GODDAMNIT. My dog threw up and I'm supposed to clean it up. x.x; Thanks for the review!

PrincessMononoke7 - -waves little Roy flag- I hate repeated noises so much. It's SO ANNOYING. ARGH! Uh. That's okay n.n I'm so easily distractible. I write a lot. Instead of what I'm supposed to do. Now I'm in a summer school TT.TT It was so worth it though x3 I have some white gloves that I want to turn into Roy gloves, but I'm going to cosplay as Edward, so I need to keep them plain white. Or I could get a Roy hairdo instead of my Edward hair (yes, I got my hair cut to look like Edward's :D HEE!) Stop looking over my shoulder, Sarah. Er, ignore that. Uh, anyway, Roy's hair and gloves, but with Ed's clothing and I could be ROYED PERSONIFIED! Like that guy at A-Kon! That was awesome, by the way. Whoa, I'm ending this response now. Thanks for the review!
