A/N: AHH OMFG THE END OF THE DRABBLES! Okay, no, of course not! There's another series in the works, appropriately titled "FMA Drabbles II" And then there's some more to the title, but I forgot it. Sorry! Anyway, this is supposed to be the end of the Tales From a Desk Phone drabbles, but there's one more in the next series… because another friend requested it. :-P Anyway, enjoy this one! And please review! And review my other drabbles that will show up later this week!
50. Tales From a Desk Phone VI: Injustice's End
Lust faces me now, but she has a strange look in her eyes. She had just finished telling me of Mustang's death, shouldn't she be happy? After all, she was the one who killed him. I glare at her. "What's that look for?" I ask.
And to my surprise, tears fill the homuculus's eyes. Her hands clench into fists, and she hisses at me, "I did what you asked of me, but I… I regret it."
You regret it, woman? You regret killing the man who has caused me – and my former love, Penelope – so much pain and turmoil? You regret bringing justice to a man who has done wrong? How in the world can you regret this—?
"I loved him, Peter," she whispers back to me, using my real name for the first time. "I don't care what you think, but I really did. I loved Colonel Mustang, and I can't believe that you would be so heartless as to make me kill the one I love. I'm sorry, Peter, but I must correct you. It is not Mustang who is unjust; it's you."
Me? Me, unjust? Mustang deserved his death, he rightfully deserved it! After what he did to me and Penelope, he deserved much more than that! And you're calling me unjust because I ordered the death of a man who deserved it?
"Us homunculi learned a little something from the state alchemists," Lust continues. "It's a little theory called 'equivalent exchange'. 'One cannot gain anything without first giving something in return', or something like that… Roy's death was the give, but what have we gained? Nothing!" Lust spits in my face. "You're as bad as the colonel you unfairly vilify so obstinately, all but forcing me to kill my love… So now… the equivalent exchange is complete. A life for a life. You may eat him now, Gluttony."
I hear a voice, heavy breathing down my back… A touch of… what is that? Saliva?Ugh… oh… oh God! OUCH, IT BURNS! WHAT THE HELL? WHAT IS THIS? CONSPIRACY! HOW DARE YOU, LUST! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME!
Awwww, crap. I'm dead.
Wait… what is this place? Fire… burning… smoke, flames… Is this…? It can't be! I'm in HELL! But where is the colonel? I don't see that bastard anywhere—OH GOD IT BURNS! I'M BURNING! I AM IN SEVERE PAIN! THIS IS WORSE THAN MUSTANG'S TORTURE! AAAAAAHHHHHH! OHHH, THE PAIN! THE PAAAAIIIIINNN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And thus ends… the Tales From a Desk Phone.
A/N: And we revert back to screaming!Desk Phone. XD I love that. Please review!
Reviewer Responses!
MetalWingAlchemist: The "congratulations" thing just spontaneously came to me… But then I couldn't get the image of Winry out of my head for the rest of the night… :sigh: Yeah, Scar x Ed really creeps me out… Scar x ANYONE is scary! T.T Yay, FMA starts up again! But it's my homecoming that night… oh well. I'll just catch the later encore airing. ;) I'm so excited! Fun dance AND a new TV premiere. What a great week this is. Thanks for the review!
Wing Omega: Actually, it was for a contest. An acquaintance of mine and I used to have lemon contests (please don't comment… okay comment, but… yeah. Spare me the shame…), and the last contest we did before we stopped being friends was "CK x Kurama lemon in a dumpster". I won the last of our lemon contests - "My friend x Calvin Goldspink from S Club 8" – and I probably woulda won the dumpster sex one too… But I never finished it… It's nasty though. But I'm usually on some kind of high on life. :-P So I suppose I could answer yes to that question. Thanks for the review!
Sika Kuriyama: Lol, my last coupling just disturbs even me… hee he. Maybe because I love Roy too much and don't want to share him with Scar… o.o But hey now, don't worry, there's a second series coming soon! Thanks for the review!
