Drabble Post - Weakness (FMA)

I've finally gotten some writing done again, starting with this silliness inspired by Hughes' awesomely hilarious first anime pajamas.



Title: Weakness

Warnings: None.
Continuity: Could be any continuity, but the baby chick pajamas are actually seen in the first anime.

----------------------------------------

It was a well-known fact that Maes Hughes' soft spot was his daughter. He himself proclaimed it to all and sundry. He could deny his precious Elicia nothing. The fact that they lived in the city - and Gracia's quiet good sense - was the only thing that had saved him from buying a pony.

But, even his enthusiasm flagged when he saw the pajamas. The very pink, baby chick printed pajamas.

“I picked them out just for you, Daddy!”

Maes felt himself melting in the face of Elicia’s bright smile. Well, on second glance, they weren’t so bad.

“You did? Well, guess what? Daddy loves them!”

He swooped her up into a hug, and Elicia squealed with delight.

“Uncle Roy said you’d like them!”

Meanwhile, 'Uncle Roy' is out there somewhere cackling gleefully.

And, the rest of his crew is wondering why he's so darn cheerful. And, if it involves Ed. And, if they should run for cover.

*DIES, "and if it involves Ed"::

Well, the rest of the crew is probably safe from Hughes' wrath, but "Uncle Roy" should watch himself ;)

"Uncle Roy" is going to need plenty of coffee (probably with a hint of rum) when Hughes comes a-knocking with his new patch of pictures. Of him hugging Elicia. While wearing said pajamas.

Well, okay. "Uncle Roy"'ll forget the coffee and go straight for the rum.

*cackles*

Except Hughes will have involved Ed, who was all too happy to help a great guy like Hughes (and who will join in... pretty much anyone's vengeance against Roy). Thus, Roy will find that his rum has been transmuted into... Well, no one's sure what it is, but it probably tastes bad. Prompting Roy to exclaim, "But, why is the rum gone?!"

::DYING::

After which Roy will send Ed to Briggs to "recover something very important"... and call it "training". For a month.

Because no one messes with Roy's rum.

Well, Roy can rest assured that it will be a month of bitter cold, long days and longer nights... all spent planning terrible, awful revenge!

...And, so the cycle continues.

Most definitely. And, this is where the crew requests time off.

XD Very evil. ♥

[identity profile] kristensk.livejournal.com 2012-05-16 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so very evil. I suspect Hughes' revenge will be too. ...Whenever he gets over how cute Elicia looks when she smiles.

His revenge will have to wait until Doomsday then. ^^

--His revenge will have to wait until Doomsday then.

Ah, but as soon as the photos develop, Roy can share in the cuteness with Maes! The many, many, many photos.

And I see you used one of your remarks from our conversations. (About the pony.) *g*

[identity profile] kristensk.livejournal.com 2012-05-17 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! The pony (or, well, lack of pony) was where it all started.

I was telling Kris that I wanted to write a rebuttal to this fic. Looking at Hughes' face in that shot gives me even more reason to. ::DYING!!!::
