42. Invasion (154 words)

It was a slow invasion. He crept stealthily, easing himself into Roy's life carefully like a disease, a silent killer, so just maybe he wouldn't notice until it was too late.

At first, he only came for dinner twice a month. Then it weekly, quickly increasing to daily. Soon after, he was spending an occasional morning at Roy's house, leaving before Roy woke up completely. Then he was spending so many nights there, he decided to keep a few sets of clothes in the almost empty bottom left drawer. The clothes developed into books which shifted to knick-knacks and before Roy could even stop to think about it, Edward Elric had invaded his home and claimed it as half his.

"Geez," Roy said while Ed filled out address change forms. "You might as well become 'Edward Mustang' while you're at it."

The grin the blonde gave him almost made him regret saying it.

Almost.


A/N: I rather like this one. Edward Mustang... Bwahaha.

Wow, almost 600 reviews! Think I can make it to 700? Yeah, me neither. BUT I CAN TRY VERY VERY HARD! Let's see if we can't get that many! n.n My fingernails are orange!

By the way, SnarkyKat, what did you do to get you that grounded? Kill someone? oO;

Sorry, no responses... I'm just posting this really quickly before I'm kicked off again. It's either get on the computer and be forced to listen to Metallica (who I hate, by the way; I apologize to any Metallica fans, I don't care if you like them, but don't bug me about it...), or get off and be allowed to play DDR and possibly watch Naruto. I pick option... B. o.o;

Thank you for all the reviews!
