My Armor Owns Your Ashtray
Chapter Seven: Bananas
The dead of night had always been a time of thinking for Alphonse Elric. He'd thought that it would have stopped once he regained his flesh-and-blood body, but he supposed he'd thought wrong. A normal person does need to sleep, after all.
I've finally become a State Alchemist, he thought, sighing happily, as if the fact that he joined the military would bring him some peace and quiet. Heh, fat chance. There's always something going on at the office and we might all get split up for the sake of peace, he thought, eyebrows furrowing.
Al really didn't enjoy the fact that they'd all get split apart and sent far away from each other. He had an attachment to all of them in some way. The Colonel would forever be somewhat of a mentor to him, and hopefully his brother, though one could never tell if Ed was going to say "Thanks" or "Go to fucking hell!" Hawkeye had always let him play with Hayate whenever they weren't busy and always had something nice to say to him, when she wasn't threatening people with bullets and the removal of someone's manhood. He'd learned a lot about food and cooking from Breda, though it was more from the observation of what the man enjoyed rather than showing the teen how to prepare it. Fuery was fun to be around, the two being similar enough and Falman was always there to keep an eye on them all.
And then there's Havoc. Oh yes, there's been a lot of that going around this past week, and I'm sure there's much more to come if Ed finds out, Al thought, his gaze wandering over to his unofficial boyfriend. Even in his sleep, the man couldn't let go of the other blonde, arms locked tight around his waist. I wish he would turn off his sex drive for one night, he thought, a small smile gracing his lips. He'd never been sure how he felt about the guy, but most definitely thought of him as nothing more than a good friend. Recently, that thought had changed into something a little different. Alright, completely different.
Thoroughly content with the situation at present, Al had unconsciously started tallying things off in an imaginary checklist. Havoc was tall, handsome, and clever when he wanted to be. He was corny, but sweet and had a good sense of humor. The man had a decent salary and knew how to drive.
Oh did he know how to drive, Al thought, smiling dreamily and leaning closer into Havoc's warm embrace. His body is to die for, at least in my opinion, he thought, tracing his finger along the sleeping Havoc's muscles. I suppose he needs to stay fit for service, he thought, suddenly remembering Breda, and decided to drop the thought. In any case, the man certainly knew how to…entertain his guests, for lack of better words.
"Mm, and your banana, Havoc," Al thought aloud, burying his face in the man's chest.
Suddenly realizing just what exactly he had said, Al bolted upright, looked to the sleeping figure of Havoc, and grunted unhappily. Perversion is contagious, he thought, deciding it was time to give his brain a rest and go to sleep.
"Do you prefer it chocolate covered, then?" Havoc said, waking from his 'nap' and grinning like the Cheshire cat.
Well, this is the next one. I swear I was going somewhere with this, honest! I think. Sorry for the wait.
In any case, thank you Kikyo for the lovely list of words and Kale for your lovely list of anime and the book.
