Last update before A-Kon! I meant to make this sooo much earlier, but I couldn't log in for some reason... Just a little cute bit off the top of my head!
All in all, Riza Hawkeye's birthday party was a tremendous success. There was chocolate cake, confetti, and high spirits all around (Plus, no one had been shot for not working).
The only major problem had been when Hawkeye reached for a second piece of cake. "Hey! Don't you have to watch your girlish figure?" Havoc had been hoping for the piece she took because it had a bit more icing than the others. Instead, he nearly got a bullet between his eyes for the trouble.
"So where'd you learn to bake like this? First cookies, now cake?" Ed asked Al, munching away and not bothering with a plate.
"I've just been practicing, is all. It's really not that hard," Al answered. "Oh! I forgot to give the Lieutenant her present." He headed across the room towards Hawkeye, and Roy took his place next to Ed.
"I think he likes her," Ed said. "I mean, really likes her."
"/I/ really like this cake." Roy tried to grab the last slice.
Ed's hand knocked his away. "Hey, that piece is mine!"
"I was reaching for it first!"
"Prove it!"
They glared at each other, Roy's fingers twitching, Ed's hands barely an inch apart.
Hawkeye walked over and scooped the cake onto her plate.
She smiled at Ed and Roy's astonished faces, and continued her conversation with Al.
Kiete: Hi hi! It's so cool that you're going... if you see the girl dressed as Watari from Yami no Matsuei (aka Descendents of Darkness) that's me! Say hi!
Sasuke: uh, glad you like at least some of my drabbles... Some people just like yaoi or yuri, some don't. Whatever floats your boat. If you don't like it, dont' read it.
Everyone else: really really sorry I don't have time to respond to everyone personally right now, but I love you all! Thanks so much!
