Presenting Drabble the Nineteenth!
Babysitting. Of all the demented, completely out of left-field things Maes had asked of him in all the years they had known each other…hell, he hadn't thought it was possible to get Maes to willingly leave little Elysia for any reason that did not involve him going to work.
Roy looked at the toddler, who grinned up at him, revealing one proud tooth and a lot of drool-y looking mouth. This was going to be…interesting. If Maes hadn't reminded him of that one time last year that Roy really owed him for, Roy would NEVER have agreed to this.
What the hell does one even DO to entertain children?
That must have been on Elysia's mind as well, for she looked up at him, expectantly, waiting for something interesting to happen. Well, with a father like Maes, one couldn't blame her for thinking all adult males were going to be an endless source of amusement and attention.
Roy awkwardly hefted the disproportionately heavy child and huffed in surprise. How did something so little get to heavy? It made no sense…Though there was something…comfortable about the way the little one scrunched her face into the crook of his neck, how her tiny hands clutched at his white shirt. She had a sort of powdery smell, which was unfamiliar but tweaked some bit of parental mechanism in the primal depths of his brain. That must be the explanation, because Roy Mustang did not cuddle small children.
Deijiko Mew Mew - I like to think of Ed as having a sort of grudging relationship with Hohenheim. you have to have really loved someone to be that determined to hate them when they leave...
Animegoil- good to hear from you again! i am glad you like the drabbles! Roy and Maes really do have the most amazing relationship ever! EVER!
