Woot! 317 words! I think this is the shortest thing I have ever written other than my two Envy fics, but I think it turned out pretty well. Ok, that was my A/N, and now I should probably get on to the summary. Oh but wait… I need to do a disclaimer saying I don't own this… I think everyone who puts a disclaimer on their stories deserves a captain obvious shirt. That fact aside, and the fact that I just wrote my disclaimer in my A/N, I suppose that means I can actually write the summary now.
SUMMARY: the habits of various military personnel. Ed/Roy, cuz it's kawaii. Also Havoc/Riza.
Words needed to use: Squishy, evil zipper, short, chibi, midget.
Habitual Acquiescence:
Habits were commonplace in the military. Each person has to gain at least one; otherwise, they won't survive. Havoc smoked. Riza threatened him with her gun, saying that if he kept it up she would shoot him. She didn't want her boyfriend dying of lung cancer. He laughed, and said he appreciated the concern, but the gun would kill him faster. Armstrong scared people with his sparkles, and always boasted of his talents passed down the Armstrong line for generations. Hughes brandished his photos of Elycia to anyone he could find and blackmailed them into buying a squishy teddy-bear for his "sweet little angel," as he had so dubbed her. Ed always wore that black vest with the evil zipper on it and made a point of letting everyone know he was there, especially if they made the mistake of calling him short. It was all habit. After so long, it would be strange for them not to, and to be honest, none of them ever really thought of stopping. It kept them happy. It gave the life of a soldier at least one thing that would remain a constant, despite everything else that changed.
Roy's habit was going with the flow and never let anything phase him, and if it did, not to show it, not unless he could trust the person infinitely. Perhaps that was why when his short, chibi midget of a subordinate had come in with a determined look in his eye and his red cloak billowing out behind him, he had continued to sit there, and when the same blond kissed him on the lips, he kissed back. After all, it wasn't really that surprising. He had known it for years, and he had a feeling that Ed had too. It was the same day that Roy had gained another habit, and another person he could let his mask slip around.

A/N: Ok, now that you've read, please leave a review rating it on a scale of 1-10 (1 being crap and 10 being awesome), and then please go read the other 3 fics with which this is competing. They can be found in the stories of NinjaSquirls, Jane Austen Girl, and Happy-Moogle-Mustang. They all share the same title of Biscuits of Humor, and will have the name of the author posted in the title as well. For example, mine is Hanjuuluver's Biscuits of Humor. Please rate theirs as well, because otherwise this will be a really boring contest.
