A/N: Okay, well, this is the shortened version of how I came up with this drabble: I like a guy (I shall dub him "Seisuke"). I am obsessed with Seisuke. Seisuke has told me we're just friends. Seisuke and I are going to the same high school this year. I am desperate to win his affectionate. So, while I'm sitting around one day wondering how to attract his attention, I came up with this idea. I would never do it because suicide is so not my thing, but it makes for a good drabble. :sweatdrop: Read and review!

16. Roy x Ed – Cry

"Colonel Mustang?"

FullMetal approached me in the hallway that morning just as I was about to enter my office for another day of paperwork – paperwork caused by the little midget in the first place. Needless to say, I wasn't really pleased with the young alchemist. Lately, he had been getting on my nerves more and more… or so I thought.

"What is it, FullMetal?"

FullMetal's eyes blinked once, maybe twice. They were gold. I just realized that. That day, though, I mostly just realized how… odd… he looked. I couldn't put my finger on the word exactly, but now I realize that just a three-letter word would suffice to describe it: sad.

"Would you cry at my funeral if I died?"

I remember smiling at this question. FullMetal sure could be weird at times…

"I dunno, FullMetal." I nudged him jokingly. "Why don't we try it to find out?"

I never really expected him to. I never expected him to draw out a gun from his pocket and press it to his left temple. I never expected him to pull the trigger. I never really expected him to die.

And two tears ran down my cheek the day he was buried.

Yes, FullMetal. If it answers your question, yes, I did cry at your funeral.

Reviewer Resonses!

MetalWing Alchemist: Thanks! I know, I felt so bad for poor Riza… Normally, I would give her Ed because I don't like the Ed x Winry pairing at all, but this opportunity for angst (or whatever it was) was too good to pass up. n.n Anyway, yeah, I can't see her in a miniskirt… Well, okay, yeah, I can, but… usually it's desperate!Riza who wears the miniskirt in my mind and not normal!canon!Riza :-P Thanks for the review!

Fading Wind: That's okay. Hopefully I'll have other pairings you enjoy. :) Though personally, Riza x Ed makes me SMILE. n.n But thank you very much for your compliments and your reivew!

TheBlondeWriter: Hah! I know what you mean. I am one of those people who rarely wears skirts or shorts except on days when it's super hot out or those days where she feels like impressing the city boys. :-P I live in the country and the boy closest to my age is an obese high school dropout who's like… 25 by now. o.o So the city is always fun to flaunteth thyself. XDDD I sound like a whore, don't I? Ha ha, oops:sweatdrop: Anyway, thanks for the review:)

Mint Pizza Queen: Thanks! I'm very glad you liked it! I couldn't help but smirk when I wrote the part about how Roy was right all along… such a smart boy Roy is! No, I'm not biased, what are you talking about:sweatdrop: heh heh Yeah, I would kill to see a Winry vs. Riza duel… Man, that would be funny. Wrench vs. Handgun. And Ed in the middle just going "wtf?" Lol, of course, food is always the answer:sighs: Wow, if only I could cook something other than toast, maybe I'd get more male-gender love… v.v I'll definitely take you (er… myself…) up on the idea of a Roy x Ed with a pet snake drabble! XD Thanks for the review!
