Sunday comes around and I decide to take Kain up on his invite to go fishing. There was something beautifully numbing about mindless tasks. Bait and tackle in one hand, rod and reel in the other I knock on Kain's door. 

Imagine my surprise when Ed opens it.

So here I sit on the shore of Central's biggest lake with the last person I wanted to see. He'd be easier to dislike if he wasn't so blasted nice, comical, witty and all that other crap I sucked at.

Damn…  his jokes are funny too.

I'll try despising him again tomorrow.

++Havoc++

I'm picking up my sandwich to take a bite when I hear, "Is this seat taken?"

Looking up, I find Central's most sought after bachelor also known as my boss, standing by my table holding a tray of food.

Even though I'd rather eat pathetically alone than with him, I can't very well tell him to get lost can I?

I offer him the seat and before he can even get settled a redheaded woman with hips to die for is batting her eyelashes at him and asking for directions.

Must be nice to have the world at your feet. 

++Ed++

The next week flies by until Thursday arrives and the shit hits the fan. Two former state alchemists are found dead and guess who the Führer picks to send with Maes to investigate it. 

That's right, me and Roy.

Deciding fate had it in for me I snatch my coat off the rack ready to leave the office. I don't get five steps before I feel a hand around my wrist.  

The heat from Roy's hand is unreal. I can tell he's speaking but I don't hear a word. With no other options I nod.

Smooth Elric, real fucking smooth.

++Roy++

Maes was waiting for us in a car. Ed slides in the backseat and I follow. I know this confuses him because as I'm asking Hughes questions I can feel Ed giving me odd looks.

The crime scene was gruesome and the fact that I don't do this often shows when my stomach rolls causing me to have to step away.

I feel a hand on my back as I try not to lose my breakfast.

"Thanks Maes."

"If I can get him to stop laughing, I'll send him over."

Ed leaves without another word.

I feel like an asshole.

Ah, the intensity of this series is nearly painful and keeps me utterly gripped. You're the master of the 100 word drabble, you know!

Thank you my dear I am trying my best. So great to hear I am on the right track *hugs you*

Glad this is reading as angsty as I was going for! ^_^

[baroqueangel.livejournal.com]

My heart can't help but break for them all <3333

I agree with Chuckles, you are the master of the 100 words :)

*blushes more*

My angst muse is in full swing with this. I'm glad it's all reading well and no confusion.

*icon love again* still working on that btw and the Roy meeting Russ for the first time.

Yay for more Lynx drabbles!

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

*luffs on you*

LOL it has been a while hasn't it? Damn RL for getting in the way.

I'm about to post five more that go with some drabbles Vexed posted earlier

Oh wow, this is just... fucking... amazing.

I almost missed it on my flist. That would have been most tragic.

LOVE IT.

*blushes furiously*

Thank you my dear. My angst muse was all over this little series. Wanted to try my hand at something kind of introspective and angsty/emotionally painful.

*icon win*

I just feel for Breda here, like he's somehow getting the really short end of an already short stick. The rest of our dear(oblivious) boys have someone fixating on them but poor Breda's all alone in his one-sided yearning. :( plot twist Maes secretly wants Breda XD....or at least give the poor man Kain

Eagerly awaiting the next part four!

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

They are all so busy looking out of reach they can't see what's all but in their hands already...I too feel for Breda and I may consider a plot twist of some sort before this is over.

[damnationschild.livejournal.com]

Yay for plot twists! :D

asdkflj Roy, you know what happens when you assume, don't you?

And Havoc's last line just breaks my heart. Poor, poor man.
_{Of course, if you didn't write so well I'm sure this wouldn't be a problem.}

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed very bad of Roy to assume. For some reason I love writing Havoc dealing with a love/hate thing going on concerning Roy. He agrees with Roy's ideals and supports his ultimate goal (even likes him as a person) but on a personal level he has major envy/anger issues with him...

*hugs you for the praise*

[amethyst_koneko]

*glares* Uh, Ed, what the hell are you doing at Kain's?? Come on Ed! The guy is nice enough and all but for heaven's sake, don't settle! GAH! grrrr....

Up till now, I could really feel for all of them, Breda especially, but Roy lost sympathy points in this one. Poor Breda. Poor soul is pining away with no one pining for him. :( Roy lost some of my sympathy in this one for the "Thanks Maes" bit. tch! Yes, you should feel like an asshole after that one. *glares* Way to insult the one person who loves/wants you unconditionally ya jackass. :p
