A/N: 32nd drabble! Woo!


32. Do you like? (183 words)

"Do you like ice cream?"

Edward cringed. "No, it has milk in it." He paused for a moment, and then said, "Do you like winter?"

"No," Roy answered. "When it snows, it's hard for me to get a spark. Do you like spring?"

Ed shook his head. "That's when Al starts bringing in all the orphaned kittens and we end up having to keep them for days because it's raining too hard to let them go." He adjusted himself in his seat. "Do you like cats?"

This was a game the two alchemists played, started unknowingly one day when they were both stuck working overtime. It was the only time they ever got along, and no one knew of the game's existence.

"No," the colonel answered. "They think for themselves too much." There was a moment during which Roy studied Ed, and then a smirk glided across his lips. "Do you like me?"

It was silent for a few moments, but it wasn't a hesitant silence. It was a contemplative silence as Edward turned the question over his mind. Finally, he answered.

"Yes."


A/N: I don't really like this drabble, but the topic was weird. x.o; You're just going to have to deal with it. Rawr.

Reviewer Responses! (I know, finally!)

Orenji Yoh-Chan - Oh, are they really the best? n.n; They can't be that good. But thank you! I don't think it's going to get better, but the pain will go away with magical nurse kisses xD Do you know Marii? She did the same thing o.o; I've been typing almost every single day for several years now. I'm glad you liked my drabbles so much! n.n I didn't know it was possible to squeal for an hour x3 Thanks for the review!

Marii - Ellen says "You're welcome." :D I should be getting a brace tomorrow. Instead of the ghetto one Sarah made me (I was grateful but it was rather painful to wear). I rather like that drabble, even if Roy and Ed are kinda OOC. I can't really see them being all fluffy together. Anyone that can write those two as fluff and keep them in character are very good writers x.x; Thanks for the review!

Alana-StarSugarCat - Ellen says "You're welcome." :D Thanks for the review!

H's D - Ellen says "You're welcome." n.n Wait, she's grounded BECAUSE you pushed her out the window? oO; How does that work? Heh, I don't show anyone my back.
