I am so sorry that I was not able to post yesterday! I tried hard, I really did, but something came up and I couldn't get around to it.
But, there was a drabble (again, written in the car), that I wrote that turned to 250 words and I thought, you know what, how about an extra long one to make up for my absence. So! Here you go!
365 LiveJournal Community #78 Paint
Another long day… after an argument with his brother, he just wanted to go home and sleep, perhaps take a nice bath. Yes… a bath sounded nice.
Of course, coming home and getting such luxuries was going to be harder than he cared for.
The moment he opened the door, he regretted it. Paint assaulted his nose, surely an offending odor. "Dammit."
Roy and Elysia looked away from their canvases, paint lining their faces, clothes and, most importantly, their hands.
"What are you doing?"
"Painting, Fullmetal."
"Right…"
Roy gave a devilish smirk. "Paint with us, Ed."
"Yeah!" Elysia chimed in.
Before Ed could make for the bathroom, those strong arms wrapped themselves around him, holding him in place, and, much to his disgust, bright blue paint was now sticking out on his black shirt. "Bastard!"
"You've had a long day. Why not relax by making messes?"
"You hate looking like a mess."
"Finger painting, Ed. You can't say you do it everyday." The Flame's thumb with the drying blue paint made a quick heart on the youth's cheek.
The elder Elric smirked. "Fine! Gimme that red paint, Elysia! Better run, Colonel!"
"Don't Ed!"
"Should'a thought about it!"
"Not the hair!"
Ed laughed. "How about I paint those lips and eyes first?!"
These were the times he thanked Roy for being a strange but loving lover. He doubted if he had chosen Winry that he's have so much fun. She'd never turn his bad day into a good one with paint.
