Theme: Roy/Al #1: "Good Morning"


Alphonse was not a morning person. He had lostthree good years' worth of dreams, and five more of long, sleepless nights; he had too much to catch up on. This meant that he didn't give up his sleep without a fight.

This did not translate well for Roy Mustang, who needed to leave early each morning for work. So he tried wriggling, and squirming, and out-and-out wrestling with the sleeping Elric, but to no avail. He was locked in a deathgrip, and all of his efforts were futile.

It didn't help that he felt so comfortable in the warm embrace, or that Alphonse really was beautiful when he was asleep. But Roy also didn't give up without a fight, personal feelings or no. So he resorted to a time-honored technique, one that had been made famous in children's tales.

As it turned out, a properly-administered kiss would, indeed, wake up even the deepest sleeper. Slowly, Al stirred to life, but didn't release his grip until another kiss coaxed his body into relaxing.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," Roy teased, "But I thought Prince Charming only needed to bestow one kiss before getting his reward."

"Mrmph."
