Drabble 24: Girl Talk
Alphonse supposed it had been Greed's comment about how amazing his Teacher was that had galvanized him into starting this conversation.
"Martel's just...she's so...um..."
"Come on kid, just pick one of the great things about her, then start listing the rest." The Homunculus lightly chuckled, patting the armored boy on the shoulder.
"Oh, please be careful Greed-san, you might wake her--she is asleep, right?"
"Al, I just checked a minute ago, yes, she's asleep, so you can safely gush about her--"
"But, come on, she's right inside me, that's cutting it a little close--"
"In my experience, I find that cutting it a little close can be rather fun."
"...She's just really hot."
"Ah, glad to see you have good taste in women--"
"Taste? I don't know, I think it's just my hormones stuck in overdrive, especially with...well--"
Alphonse gestured toward his armor, and the Sin nodded quietly, once again kicking himself for being so...well, insensitive; the kid had soon explained to him the overwhelming downsides to his so-called immortal condition, and Greed soon recognized himself as an idiotic jerk.
"...But her hotness isn't really just her hotness--I mean, it's not just how Martel looks, it's how smart she is--"
"She's a damn clever woman all right."
"--and how nice she is--"
"Very observant kid; most guys would just write her off as a cold-hearted bitch."
"--and how brave she is--"
"Oh yeah, brave. Sometimes foolhardy brave, but..."
"Well, everyone has foolhardy bravery at one point or another."
"True, true..."
"O.K., your turn; I wanna hear you gush about Teacher."
"I don't know kid; some of the material I have is rather mature, and she is your teacher after all--might put her in an awkward light--"
"Greed-san!" The Homunculus just chuckled, then began talking about Izumi Curtis.
A/N: I love AlxMartel, and here's a little more GreedxIzumi fluff. (I stand by the idea he was crushing on her a little...) Timeline here, a little screwy; manga-inspired, perhaps? In the manga, there was a point in between the Greed/Izumi fight and the Greed/Ed fight where this could be set...
