A/N: 27th Drabble. 27 is my favorite number. I don't know why. It's just such a great number. I was born on the 26th of September. My aunt was born on the 27th. I wish I was born on the 27th.

27. Sleeping Face (166 words)

Edward's most favorite thing to do in the world was watch Roy sleep. Not just in bed, either. He'd watch him take naps on the couch, or fall asleep on his paperwork, or when he'd curl up in a chair and fall asleep, clutching a book to his chest.

It was the only time the Flame Alchemist looked innocent and carefree. The worry lines that bordered his eyes and lips during the day faded, and the gray hair that had appeared over the years looked more like highlights from the lamp. The hard look in his eyes was gone, and his mouth, permanently set in a frown, would curl into a sleepy smile that did illegal things to his heart.

Edward reached out and brushed a lock of salt-and-pepper hair away from the colonel's face, his fingertips gently brushing his temple, and Roy let out a pleased sigh, leaning into the touch. Edward smiled.

It was definitely his most favorite thing to do in the world.

A/N: Not my best, but passable. They're older in this, in case you couldn't tell by the fact that Roy is getting GRAY HAIR! Oh no! Eee! Our favorite alchemist is aging! The taller of the two favorites, at least. :D Don't tell Ed I said that.

Dearest Readers,

I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It hurts a whole lot. I am typing this with one hand and it is taking a while. The before and after A/Ns, along with the drabble, are all pretyped and ready to be uploaded, minus the reviews. So I didn't type anything from above today. I shouldn't even be typing this. I will not be able to respond to reviews until tomorrow, when I have Sarah to help me type them. However, last night, before I realized I had CTS (my hand had been hurting for a while, I just didn't think about it), I managed to respond to a few reviews. That's why there are a few reviewer responses. And here they are:

Reviewer Responses! (well, the first four)

EmeraldKatsEye - Oh, sorry did you want fluff? How's this for fluff? Don't gag on the fluff. You won't be able to read fluff in the future if you gag on THIS fluff. And I've got some good fluff coming up, too. I think. Yep, good fluff. Uh, anyway. Thanks for the review!

Xueyan - Geez, if you feel sorry for Roy now, wait 'til we get to... Oh, uh, never mind. Aw, he just wants Ed to luff him. Hello Imperfexion :D Thanks for the review!

Excuse me. I'm going to go cry now.
