++Breda++

Kain's party is off to a nice start and I'm trying not to spend the whole night watching you chase someone else. That becomes nearly impossible once Ed decides he wants to hang out with us. You're pulling out all the stops and I'm impressed with how charismatic you can be when you want to.

Who knew you had it in you.

When you manage to actually grab and maintain Ed's attention I decide not to fight it and move on. He's laughing, you're laughing you don't need me hanging around.

I know a third wheel when I see one.

++Havoc++

It's Kain's birthday and we are all at the park cooking out, relaxing and celebrating.

I've finally got you alone and we're talking about a little bit of everything yet nothing all at the same time. I grab us fresh drinks and ask you if you want to take a walk. Just because you're no longer pissed at him doesn't mean I shouldn't take action.

I'm tired of idling on this.

No sooner than I open my mouth to ask you out on Saturday does he appear.

Clamping my mouth shut I try not to bite my tongue in two.

++Ed++


I am doing a damn fine job of avoiding you at Kain's birthday party, so when Jean asks me to go for a walk I am all for it.

We are talking, all is well and if I I'm not mistaken Jean was working toward a point of some sort when you appear out of nowhere and sit down beside us.

I try not to appear as uneasy as I feel but you are too close for comfort and I have to go.

I tell Jean I'll catch him back at the party and leave.

I need room to breathe.

++Roy++

When Fullmetal all but runs away as soon as I arrive I tell Jean that he must still be a little pissed off at me only to have Jean look at me like I'm a moron.

"What's that look for?"

"Nothing Chief, I just never figured you for the dense type."

"Did I interrupt something?"

"Would it matter to you if you had?"

Stunned at his words I can do nothing but stare after Jean as he walks away.

What happened to my charm? Anymore it seems I'm able to piss off people without even trying.

I need a vacation.

Ah, the angst-fest has returned. :(

Poor Breda. I still feel so sorry for him. :(

Jean. I just can't see Ed ever wanting to be with him if for no other reason than he smokes like a damn chimney and Ed clearly takes better care of himself to want to put up with that. :p

Ed. Drowning in his own unrequited desire, the poor guy just can't win can he? :(

Which leads us to said unrequited desire, Roy. Man, dense doesn't even begin to describe him! sheesh! There are black holes that are less dense than he is! I'm beginning to wonder how he ever made it to the rank of colonel. :/

I enjoy making them suffer too much don't I? They are all so inwardly miserable it's almost stifling. I feel extra sorry for Breda too... he just seems so defeated.

There are black holes that are less dense than he is!

I laughed so hard at this I couldn't breath! LOL... massive LOL babe

So pleased to see more of this despite the agony of them all suffering so much.

I don't know how you manage to get so much sexual tension into such a short wordcount...

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you are enjoying this. I realize this level of angst isn't everyone's cup of tea.

*blushes* thank you for the praise! *hugs*

[vexed_wench]

I still love this. I am so glad you updated.

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Thank you chic a dee. I missed emotionally torturing the boys on this level.

[vexed_wench]

They are good for that.

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

LOL that they are. I was surprised just how well Breda could angst when given the chance... color me shocked

[vexed_wench]

Breda needs more love in fandom.

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

He does... poor guys is left out or in the shadows most of the time.

[vexed_wench]

It is sad so many unsung people in FMA. We should give him & sheska more time in fma_candiednuts.

You know I love this series <3333

I have missed the angst so and you angst it up so very well :)

I kind of feel sorry for everyone, I feel less sorry for Roy than the other three but that's because I like him suffering :P

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Thank you chic a dee *kisses hand* I have missed this series too (I may have too many series in the works but I digress) They angst so beautifully together I could resist.

I like torturing Roy too...

[shell-mel.livejournal.com]

This is so... beautiful. To have four people all hurting and aching in such a perfect circle. I know I shouldn't enjoy their pain so much, but it is so well written. :)

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you so much for the compliment.

I love writing angst and these four pull it out of my muse in spades! So glad you're enjoying their anguish ^_^

[nochick-fics.livejournal.com]

Finally got caught up on this. Loving it!

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

*hugs on you* Thank you my dear I have a weakness spot for torturing the boys. They just angst so damn well together ^_^

I am so loving this series. You express so much in so few words. Their hurt is wonderfully vivid. Can't wait for more.
