I know my updates have gotten kinda sporadic, but between work, getting ready for college, and my brother being a brat, everything's hectic right now.
Ed stifled a yawn and mentally invented another torture for whoever had created long, boring meetings. Across the table, Hughes' head was visibly drooping, which at least gave him the comfort of knowing he wasn't alone in his boredom.
Of course, Hawkeye was awake and alert, and glaring rather forcefully at Hughes, who started to snore.
Farman, standing at the head of the table, droned on and on about… something, Ed had stopped paying attention two sentences in.
Havoc and Fury looked awake enough, but a dropped pen quickly proved that they were playing footsie under the table, and, from the looks of things, had been for quite a while.
When Farman was /finally/ done, Roy stood up. Ed prepared himself for another lengthy speech on still more military bull, and Hughes' head /thunk/ed onto the table.
"And now, the report you've all been waiting for…" He glanced down at his papers, and looked around the room.
He tossed the papers over his shoulder. "Ah, screw it. Dismissed!"
Everyone was out the door before Hawkeye could draw her gun, Roy and Hughes in the lead.
Since I wasn't clear enough on the challenge rules in the previous chapter, here they are, simply stated: Pick two characters you think don't get enough fan love, and put them in a fic together. Bad excuses for how they got together are accepted. Or, pick an unusual pairing that you like, and can't find enough fics of. It doesn't have to be from FMA.
One example: Teal'c from Stargate SG-1. Such a cool character, and nowhere near enough fics about him. (If anyone watches Stargate, you'll know what I mean.)
Please notify me when you post your stories! Otherwise I won't be able to find them...
