A/N: Again, this one's inspired by Shiruba Neko, in particular the 10th drabble in Behind Red Eyes. Also, for this drabble's timeline, I suppose it will have to be a bit AU, like say, Greed lives longer. (Yay!)
Disclaimer: Don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, and never will. I don't have the same greedy drive like a certain homunculus I love--er, admire.
Drabble 3: Can I Keep Her?
Izumi Curtis was in a fairly bad mood; in other words, ready to kill. How Dante, even after all these years of graduation, could still manipulate Izumi into carrying out her shopping errands, was beyond the pale woman. All she was certain of, was that she didn't like it. Trying to calm down as she continued walking toward the mansion, Izumi tried whistling a cheerful tune, which just resulted in a broken and harsh little jangle. Stopping and growling, she considered tossing the bag.
Izumi did indeed toss the bag once she noticed a mysterious figure laying in wait for her in the alley's shadows; the groceries hit the figure with a satisfying smack, but then there came dismay when it purred out a pitiful "MEOW!" The alchemist smacked her head, shaking it in tired disappointment, not noticing the other figure come up behind until...
STAB! "Huh?..." Glinting needle in her neck, and Mrs. Curtis was off to drug-induced dreamland...
&&&&&&&&&
Dorchet's blood-curdling scream brought both Roah and Martel barreling down the staircase, both in turn screaming "WHAT!" Soon, they too began cowering next to Dorchet. A seething and wrathful Izumi Curtis tends to do that to a person, even when bound securely to a chair. It was the twitching of her body that warned of impending pain that was truly terrifying. Then arrived one of the few oblivious to this particular alchemist's intimidation skills: Greed strolled in with a can of beer, which he promptly opened as he nestled himself behind Izumi, hugging her possessively with the tattooed arm, while gulping down the alcohol. Once finished with said beer, the homunculus swiftly crushed the can, throwing it perfectly into a nearby wastebasket, then asked quite innocently before gently kissing Izumi's red cheek, "Can I keep her?"
A/N: Ever since I saw the first meeting/fight between Greed and Izumi in the anime, I was bombarded with Greed/Izumi vibes; I was pleased to find those vibes continued--or more like originated--in the original manga I read on the Internet. I just find the Greed/Izumi pairing to be cool, cute, hot, awesome--all those good things, that I'd like to go into detail in future drabbles or long-term fic. The only problem with the unconventional couple that I have...I'm also a canon Sig/Izumi shipper. I can't help it, I just find their pairing good too. However, if Izumi wasn't happily maried to Sig--in other words, not married to Sig at all, or never met him--it would so totally be Greed/Izumi.
P.S. Thanks to all the reviewers so far!
