Sorry I was gone so long...
The Way Things Are
So much had changed, but in a way, nothing had.
They pretended not to notice the gold ring on her left hand, the silver one on his.
They played dumb to how she couldn't do everything she had before, but helped her however they could.
They played dumb to how he'd become even more self-conscious, but didn't put him on the spot quite as much.
They ignored her slightly swelling tummy, but took heavy things away from her, and took orders more obediently than ever.
They ignored the adoption papers on his desk, but never put anything on top of them, and failed to bury them like all the other paperwork.
They still called her Hawkeye, still called him Fury. It was only just habit anymore.

Heh, I enjoyed writing this one. Okay now:
A/N: I will continue/finish the Christmas drabbles despite the January-ness if you people want me to. If not, I guess I'll save them for next December... (is long way off...maybe I'll just finish them anyway as I get a chance...)
Marii: 'Dark Humor' updated! dances Turns out Christmas time killed me after all... All right, who do you think the last present is for? Havoc needs serious help. Writing Lust was surprisingly fun...I shall have to do it again... Don't feel bad for Al. Feel bad for Ed. After all, what if Winry got a new wrench for Christmas? Riza's wonderful. People just need to quit being idiots around her...
Thine-When-Slain: Tracey... muffles laughter Little Mouse? I don't believe I've heard -that- nickname for Fury before. 's cute. Yeah, I know... Actually, Ed/Envy is the only pairing I have that's in any way incestful. I still like it... Besides, Envy has been through the Gate, and isn't exactly human anymore...
