Music box: 20: If I Was Insane...
Sitting in the office and doing nothing but paperwork was boring, especially on a hot drowsy day like this. The fan turned slowly and did very little to cool the heat. Mustang and his men were lounging around, sleeves rolled up and sweating. The heat had made everybody cross and they snapped at each other.
"Why did you have to be a fire alchemist, Colonel? I mean, it would have been a hundred times better if you were a water alchemist. You could have water rain on us lightly or something." Breda asked as he wiped the sweat off his nose.
"I'll have fire rain on you right now if you don't shut up." Roy growled, not lifting his head from his desk.
"Why is it so hot?" Havoc groaned. Everyone glared at him and Riza sat at her desk, not breaking a sweat as she continuously looked through paperwork and stacked her papers on the left side of her desk.
After his poor attempt to start conversation sparked nothing but a slight movement of the head, Havoc tried again. "Why don't we play a game?" That had sparked interest, Roy and the rest of the men looked towards Havoc. "It's called, "If I was insane."
"That sounds stupid." Falman grumbled and Havoc glared at him. "Go on, pretend like I didn't just call your idiotic game stupid."
"Basically you say 'If I was insane…..' and something you would do if you're crazy." Havoc explained as the other men nodded.
"Havoc, you can't play." Roy announced, raising a limp hand to fan himself.
"What? Why not?" Havoc was bewildered, why couldn't he play? He introduced the damn game!
"Because you are insane." Fuery, who was normally the nicest, said while he took off his glasses and drooped onto his desk.
"HMPH." Havoc, indignant replied.
"Hmph? What are you? A girl?" Breda said tauntingly before Riza shot him a look. He muttered an apology.
"If I was insane," Falman drawled out, "I would be Havoc." That earned a round of laughter from the men as Havoc let out another 'hmph'.
"If I was insane," Breda laughed, "I would challenge the Colonel to a fight." Everyone murmured in agreement and Roy grinned weakly.
"If I was insane, I would make Hawkeye angry." Roy said and another murmur of agreement went around the room.
"If I was insane, I would call Edward Elric short." Fuery concluded and Roy scoffed. He called that little alchemist short all the time. Everyone turned to stare at Hawkeye.
"Yes?" Riza said, as she scribbled something down on the paper she was holding. "Oh? You want me to go?" The men nodded.
"If I was insane, I would want to sleep with the Colonel." Riza sighed. Snickers were heard before Riza opened her mouth again.
"I've been trying to get admitted to a mental hospital all week."
A/n: Yes, I know. Very weak. I'm sorry. I need to get back on the ball with these short stories and drabbles. I heart all my reviewers and anyone who takes the time to read this. You deserve better and I am going to try and dish it out for you. Check out my profile for more information.
