A/N: Forgot to mention...title's inspired by a DeviantArt Greed fanclub with the same name.
Disclaimer: Don't own Fullmetal Alchemist; if I did, Greed wouldn't have died so relatively soon, no matter how bittersweetly cool his original anime/manga deaths were.
Drabble 2: Dinner
How long had it been since Martel cooked?
Not nearly as long as Greed had eaten, clearly.
Roah's face was so stony that it was obvious he was hiding his digust, while Dorchet sat on a chair, hunched over its back and arms draping it, his face slack-jawed as he shamelessly gawked, and Martel just wanted to go some place faraway and puke.
Greed was blissfully unaware, shoveling bowl after bowl of rice into his fanged jaws, violet eyes closed in childish delight. Then came the noodles, which he slurped down with wide-eyed surprise.
"Yournoodlestastesogood," the homunculus managed out after pausing for a fourth of a second, then diving back into the remaining half of bread baskets. Then he went back to the rice and the noodles. Then to the rolls of sushi. Then the tempura. Then the dumplings. Finally Roah just had enough, and proceeded to drag Dorchet out of the room, who in turn proceeded to whine about missing a freakin' miracle.
Roah left Martel alone, since there remained the terrifyingly likely chance that Greed would ask her to cook seconds. The snake chimera looked at the eldest chimera's back and mouthed "coward" before hearing the most satsified sigh she had ever heard coming from the homunculus.
Leaning back into his own chair, all the plates and bowls empty except for a litter of spoons and forks, Greed actually looked vaguely sleepy, again appearing for all the world like an overgrown child. Thankfully, the snake chimera found that the simile didn't brand the homunculus a brat.
"Really, thanks a lot Martel," whispered Greed in a groggy voice as he gazed at her with droopy eyes and a lopsided smile.
"...Are you sure your name's not Gluttony?"
Martel's coy expression soon burst into laughter at the disturbed face on Greed.
A/N: Pretty sure everyone can understand Greed's horror at being compared to the actual Gluttony. (Especially loved Martel's cluelessness in this; by this time, I'd imagine the chimera trio haven't heard of the other homunculi.) Upon consideration, I've realized that the whole eating-like-a-pig thing is a bit of an apparently beloved anime institution...well, I like it anyway. And I really believe Greed would have a truly huge appetite and ferocious feasting habits, and it would look so cute with him. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and please leave a review.
P.S. Thank you to those who have reviewed already by this point; I appreciate the support, and I hope you all keep reading! (And welcome to any new readers...)
To Psychodog: Actually, I've been keeping an eye on your Greed fic, skimming it, but leaving no reviews! Bad me; not giving a fellow author that highly valued sustennance, reviews... Right here, I can say your fic's good, and eventually I'll leave a review on each of your actual chapters. (Especially pleased by how quickly you're updating; hope the speed continues.)
To Nelja: I plan for the rest to be just as good, and I hope I could meet that goal. I wonder though, exactly what were the interesting and funny parts for you? (Although, I do have some idea what parts they were...)
To Dogtag-XD: Oh yeah, it is definitely sad how quickly he died in the anime and manga, and even if his deaths--characterization-wise and dramatic-wise--were ultimately cool and sophisticated, it's still sad, since there is some untapped potential. (I have all sorts of ideas of what things in FMA would've been like if Greed had lived longer, or just lived to the very end...some of those ideas will be here in the drabbles, and some may actually grow into long-term fics.)
