AN: Okay… I just decided to include this random drabble here. I didn't really want to make a new story for it considering it's so small. Apologies in advance, if there are any grammatical errors… it seems that there are always one or two that elude me.
In Which Ed Studies the Flame
Roy Mustang is a man of contrasts. In a word he is… oxymoronic. It was one of the few things that were evident when you first looked. That arrogant bastard for all his delusions of grandeur is very absorbing. He probably knew it too. I scowled.
He's giving me a lecture about some historical building I destroyed. His mouth is forming the syllables of words that are not really registering. Why listen when his lips are much more interesting? The colonel has very pink lips. A poet would call it a sensitive mouth. Amusingly enough, that sensitive mouth doesn't hesitate at giving out harsh military commands day in and day out.
The color is randomly placed there, though. Especially against the harsh paleness of his skin and the dark inkiness that was his hair. That hair is so black it was blue. I bet the bastard dyes it.
"Fullmetal, are you listening to me?"
My eyes snap up to his. If I had to pick his most intriguing element it would be his eyes. They could have been blue once. Maybe if you looked at them in the right light.
"Fullmetal?"
To most people those eyes would seem his most hardened and impenetrable feature. But really, they reveal so much. You can practically see the pain that molded them. It's as if he's seen horrible things. That' s explainable, he's a state alchemist and he went to Ishbal. I've heard of their sins time and again from my teacher. But, who am I to judge?
There's an ambition in there too… A kind of resolve.
I smirked slightly.
Mustang is a man of secrets and I guess it's the alchemist in me that wants to find them out.
"I'm listening."

AN Cont: Not an actual pairing going on, not fluffy or angsty… Just a contemplation… With at couple of insinuations and double entenderes. Because there are really very few straight men who would call another man's lips pink and sensitive. :D Now, if my reviewers are nice I might just make a companion piece from Roy's POV.
REVIEW!
