xD Started this one in math class. Actually, Roy's cure is something Our aunt taught Us. Think about white horses, and your hiccups go away. xD Creepy, but it works.

Pairing: RoyEd (We're on a RoyEd spree!)

WHITE HORSES

Squeak. Squeak.

Waht the hell was that, wondered Roy, throwing down his pen after a moment of thought and peering around the library. Had to be something in here, right? So now he had to find out just what it was. The colonel got up, then peered around the quiet library as the sounds slightly increased, almost as if..

It (whatever "it" was) was moving toward him.

Oh, Gatey Gate Gate, what if it was one of his subordinates? He'd have a laughing fit, and that wouldn't be very proper of a colonel such as himself. Especially if it was...

Fullmetal.

Roy ley out a snigger as one of the most useful alchemists in the state (not so useful as himself, of course) came trudging down the aisle, one hand over his mouth (to muffle the sounds?) in vain and... hiccuping?

Roy's laughter grew less and less unbearable till he couldn't help it and had to let out a laugh. Edward seemed to notice this: his head whipped up and he looked around warily for whoever it was. As soon as he spotted Roy, his face took on a look of great displeasure. "Aw, jeez..."

Roy simply grinned at him, a la Cheshire Cat.

"What are you looking a -- hic! -- at!"

"White horses, Fullmetal," said Roy simply, turning on his heel and carrying the books he wanted off.

Ed stared after him for a moment, giving another little hic! sound.. "What...?"

"Think about it," called back Roy.

The blonde stood stupefied for a moment as he did so, feeling quite goofy, then blinked when a warm feeling washed over his throat. "They're gone..." He looked down at his feet, then back up at the retreating back of the colonel as the door swung shut in front of it. "Thanks."
