Notes: I had forgotten to post Store-lined Streets, but I've put it up and into it's correct place now.
Eleven: Liar
The room was dark, all of the lights turned off as though everyone had left, but the two of them still stood there, watching one another silently. Neither moved, but adrenaline pumped through both of the frozen figures, and they knew that something would break soon.
She let out a shuddering breath, the tear-tracks on her cheeks reflecting the moonlight that shone in through the window. "Fuhrer Mustang. I said- I said that if you ever strayed from your path to do right by the people I would shoot you."
His mouth tightened sadly, and he stood from behind his desk, eyes set on hers, not once looking at the gun held shakily in her hand. Slowly, he walked towards her, and gripped her wrist with one hand, the other softly brushing her tears away as he squeezed to make her loosen her grip. He stroked her cheek tenderly when the gun finally dropped to the floor, and whispered, almost victoriously, "Liar."
Notes: This is the first one that stood out to me. It turned out just the way I wanted. Oddly enough, if it was part of the anime, or a scene in a movie or something, it'd be entirely different, because of the camera angles (I can see them clearly), and the loud music playing over the top of it. Or at least the end of it. Unfortunately, I don't have the particular piece I'm thinking would play then, and don't know what it's called, but since I want to give a musical reference for you, I'd say . . . perhaps in the style of Rachmaninov's Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2, from about 2:20 onwards very quietly starting with the third paragraph, slowly getting louder until the beat right on 2:38, which would be just as she dropped the gun. My story finishes on 2:43, on that hanging note, but the music continues in much the same way the story might.
