Drabble 26:
Silence
Ed was ranting. Again. And once more, it was about something so minor and inconsequential that everyone else had already forgotten about it completely, until the teen brought it back into their attention with his yelling, which could be heard clearly, even through the closed door of Colonel Mustang's private office.
Mustang himself, who was unfortunate enough to be inside the office, had to bear the blunt force of Ed's yelling. The man closed his eyes, and even tried to close his ears in an attempt to block out Ed's voice, but it was utterly impossible. Then teen was young, and he seemed to contain endless energy, sustaining his yelling. Mustang just wanted the boy to shut up and leave him in peace, but Ed just went on, and on, and on.
Mustang had seriously considered yelling back, as he sometimes did in such situations, but decided to hold back his temper this time round. He already knew, from past experiences, that yelling back would not only not stop Ed's yelling, it could cause the teen to go on for an even longer period of time, at an even louder volume, plus insults.
Now, for all the yelling there was to endure, Mustang had actually developed a serious crush on the teen alchemist, even though he had vehemently denied it to himself when he had first realized what he felt for the boy. So another reason that the raven-haired Colonel had decided to cut down on shouting back at Ed was because he wanted to reduce the unhappiness between them that all the yelling created, which greatly reduced the chances of any relationship occurring. Of course, Ed noticed none of this.
As the thought of having a relationship with Ed crossed his mind, Mustang reopened his eyes, and looked at blond teen, who, unfortunately, still refused to end his ranting.
Very handsome. Mused Mustang. But extremely noisy too.
Ed's rant continued.
He would never, ever have imagined that I, of all people, would fall in love with him. The man thought to himself. Then, as an idea came to his mind, Mustang smirked.
Ed's rant continued.
Mustang made his move. Standing up, the Colonel moved swiftly over to the ranting teen, bent down, and kissed him, right smack on the lips. A moment later, he straightened himself, opened the door of his office, and strode out, leaving a stupefied Ed standing speechless in the office.
There was only silence. Ed's ranting had ceased.
