I'm going to do a Christmas thing. One drabble a day from today through December 25th. This is my Countdown to Christmas readers!

December 1st -- Roy & Ed

Holy sh-- December already? He'd meant to find Riza a wonderful present much earlier. He wanted it to be special. She'd done so much for him, and he gave her so little in return. Now he only had twenty some-odd days to find a meaningful gift to show her how much he honestly appreciated what she did for him.

Okay, okay. No need to panic. He still had twenty some-odd days to shop. Roy slumped back in his chair. Who was he trying to kid? He was terrible at thinking of gifts. That was part of why he'd intended to start a few months ahead of time. But he'd been so busy...

"Hey Mustang."

Roy whirled to face the person who had called his name, only to find Ed standing before his desk.

"Oh, it's you Edward."

The blonde looked somewhat indignant.

"Yes, it's me."

"What do you want Ed? I'm not in the mood to argue."

Ed sighed and flopped down on Roy's couch.

"Neither am I really."

"Then why are you here?"

There was silence for a few moments, and Roy thought at first that Ed had fallen asleep. Then,

"What kind of present do you get for someone you like?"

Somehow Roy managed not to choke on the drink of coffee he'd just taken.

"For...someone you like?"

"Yeah, I was kinda hoping you had some ideas. Ya know, seeing as you're always goin' out with someone."

Roy all but gaped. He'd never thought he'd ever hear something like that coming from Ed.

"Um, well it really depends on the person you want to give the gift to. It has to be something you know they'll like... Something that has to do with what they're interested in."

It wasn't like him to fumble his words, but he was in shock for crying out loud. And how could he not be, considering? Ed was asking him for advice. How was he supposed to answer that question for Edward, when he couldn't even answer it for himself? It was gonna be a long month...

Day one everybody. It'll never be the same person/people two days in a row, so it will be a different tone each day. Happy December!

Midori-Jester: You were gonna steal my soul... I liked it too, even though it really wasn't what I intended when I started it.

saffiremoon21: Aww, thank you.

ChieriAn9el: Maybe, maybe not. :)
