Drabble Post - Brat (FMA)

[kristensk]

This was not the drabble I meant to be writing. But, since when do the plotbunnies listen to me?



Brat

Edward Elric was a brat. It pained Al to admit that, but it was true.

Ed whined, sulked, and raged on a daily basis. He was childish. He was rude. And, his reaction to the slightest suggestion - real or imagined - that he might be... less than tall was an over-reaction of epic proportions.

But, conversely, Ed never complained about anything truly important. If his automail pained him, he only grimaced. If he felt discouraged by constant dead-ends, he still smiled for Al’s sake.

Brattiness, Al realized, was Ed’s one indulgence. And so, Al would let him have it.

Aww. :) This is very much my perspective, too. (I observed in "Night-Riders" how it's only little things like needles, rather than extremes like losing a limb, that get to Ed.) And yes, I completely see Al suffering through the brattiness because he knows Ed is solid on the things that really matter.

Anyway, all of which is to say: cute drabble, and I totally agree. ;)

(And awesome music choice, too. *g*)

Thanks! And, yeah, I'd think we'd talked about this before too, but I never could get a drabble on it to materialize.

*laughs* I'd been taking a little Sawano break (well, sort of - certain tracks never seem to rotate out of my playlist), so it was the perfect time to find more of his awesomeness.
