“I could just use a hug.”

This one goes out to all the ‘Ed gets kidnaped and Roy goes dad crazy’ fic writers, yall are a hoot and I love ya.

When Edward Elric was younger he liked to pride himself on being independent. That he could handle himself, and take care of his little brother Alphons Elric. Stand on his own two feet and try to be that pillar of support.

Unfortunately, this became a far greater challenge upon the passing of their mother Trisha Elric. If you were wondering about the boy’s father, well he up and left a long time ago. So with an absent father and a mother now six feet under with no other living relative they know of, it left the two boys alone. Only ever being checked upon by the Rockbells, a family friend. Occasionally (that’s a lie, it’s always) going over for a meal or any other necessity that didn’t revolve around alchemy. Speaking of which, about a year after their mother’s passing they met Izumi Certus- a housewife and a powerful alchemist, but most importantly a housewife.

She taught them not only alchemy but how to defend themselves. Looking back on it, despite how terrifying that woman can be, she really was like a second mother to the two even if they, more so Edward, wouldn’t admit it (the same applies to Sig Certus, Izumi’s husband, next to Mr. Rockbell he showed them what a true father looked & acted like.)

After a year with their monster of a teacher, the two blonds were back home and ready to commit the ultimate taboo.

Human Transmutation.

Another bust! Damn it stupid Mustang and his stupid false leads!

At this point he’s just having them deal with the shit he didn’t want to deal with, the lazy bastard.

Edward Elric - The Fullmetal Alchemist, Hero of the People was seething.

Since losing his leg in the taboo and his right arm to bind his brother’s soul to a suit of armour since Alphons lost his whole ass body to fucken Truth. (a bastard Ed just wants to punch silly-Mustang being the first, tied with Hohenheim that is)

Making his way through central headquarters Edward arrives at the front of Mustang’s office, Alphons having gone back to the barracks. Before he can kick the poor door in he spots a note tacked on it.

Okay, that’s odd, that like never happened before, not even when they were stationed in Eastern Commanded, what the fuck is happening? Did something happen to the office and they had to relocate temporarily?

Fullmetal,

If you’re reading this, it means we haven’t come back yet.

The team has been dispatched to XXX.

You can leave your report on my desk and take the rest of the day off. If we’re not back by the following afternoon it would be appreciated if you could meet us at our location.

- Colonel Mustang

“Bastard” The blond muttered pocketing the note, and for once entering the office like a normal person, and made his way over the Mustang’s personal office and placed the report neatly to the side.

It was odd- odd not seeing anyone here. It felt empty.

Empty just like their old house after…

Shaking his head to rid of old nightmares Edward stretched, some bones popping as he did so.

‘Damn when did everything get so stiff?’

Just as he exited into the main office area the door creaked open, tensing Edward became hyper-aware of his surroundings. Having been attacked more than once in a closed-off space does that to a person, apparently. When the door fully opened it revealed a blue military uniform and a somewhat familiar face. Edward relaxed a little at that, but he was still very aware of his surroundings, not the first time military personnel have tried to lull him into a false sense of security only to strike.

What can I say? boys got issues.

“Major Elric! There you are, heard wind that you were back in central.” Ha, now Edward remembered him, all thanks to that scratchy voice of his. Colonel Marks, someone upon first meeting Edward didn’t like. In all fairness, no one on Team Mustang liked the guy, it was clear as day man had a thing against their Colonel, and was too blind to see they had already figured him out. So it was an unspoken rule to just avoid him, the same applies to all military officers that rub any of the team the wrong way(and to beat the ever-loving hell out of the ones that so much as look at Edward the wrong way but shhhhh the golden boy doesn’t know that rule)

“Colonel Marks, is there something I can help you with?” Edward said, his voice indifferent not wanting to make his distaste for the man known just yet.

“Yes, in fact, there is! One of my subordinates came across a strange-looking alchemical formation earlier this week.” ok that was interesting.

“And you want my help? Can you just take it over to one of the research labs for something? ``A valid question, after all the military's research labs, would be more suited to handle this than some random state alchemist.

"Ha well, we actually did! But they were preoccupied with more important things" Okay bullshit, Edward has checked out the labs and they have nothing remarkable going on(especially since the Tucker incident). Best to say no to this guy and be on his way.

"Sorry Colonel, but I can't help. My superior is off on a mission with the rest of the team and left instructions for me to stand by" not a total lie. Mustang’s note said he had the rest of the day off and should meet up with them at their location tomorrow afternoon if they are not in by then. Besides this left him and Al a good chunk of time to research the philosopher's stone, he wasn't going to waste it doing work for another Colonel. Mustang may be a bastard but he's Edward's bastard and will only report to him, the General and King Fuhrer Bradly himself, not some random Colonel with an inferiority complex.

"Are you sure?" Marks pushed, Edward walked past him to the exit of the office.

"Yes I'm sure, now if you'll excuse me I actually have to leave now my brother is waiting for me"

As Edward stepped out into the hallway, making his way to the barracks the creeping sensation of some kind, like the one when you're being followed but you're not totally sure riddled his anxiety. As the Blond picked up the pace, he rounded the corner and something hit him dead in the face, causing the Fullmetal Alchemist to blackout.

Did they really have to call in military enforcement for a protest? A god be damned protest! It’s not like these people were rioting; they had poorly made signs for heaven’s sake. And being forced to spend the better part of a week watching in case it did turn violent? What in the actual fuck was the General thinking giving them this assignment.

THEY WERE PROTESTING FUCKING MEAT FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Fucking hell man these are mostly vegans and animal rights activists, the MP’s should be handing this not the fucking military, let alone a state alchemist!

Needless to say, the great Flame Alchemist was seething. The only thing that made it worth it was not doing paperwork-then again he’d have to write a report to hand it in.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

(no disrespect to vegans or animal rights activists(the VeganTeacher is the exception)- it was just the first thing that popped into my head)

At least he can make fun of Fullmetal, that’s always a win.

Speaking of the pipsqueak, where is he? They had just entered Central Command and were making their way back to their designated office space, and it was just about noon, they should have caught the brat if was making his way over to check for them, well that or he was in the office waiting to see if they’d come back but knowing the blond he would hold himself up in either the library or dorm with his brother and a mountain of books and scattered paper before realizing what time it was and scrambling to follow his commanding officer’s orders unless he wished to be court marshalled. Not that Roy would actually do that, as much as he pretends the older alchemist has a soft spot for the younger. And if anyone dares bring it up, pray that they are fireproof.

Upon entering the office Roy was surprised to find it empty, as everyone filed in and got cozy, finishing off any conversation in preparation for writing the report due later in the week.

Okay maybe he missed Fullmetal because of how small he is, so he peaked back outside, not seeing his major concern start to rise. Despite Edwards' abrasive nature, he’s never more than a few minutes late to something.

‘Kids probably sleeping in just to spite me’ Roy reassured himself after all this wouldn't be the first time, then again the last time this happened Edward ended up getting kidnapped and almost smuggled over the border by spies. Okay so maybe there was something to worry about.

Just as Roy was about to call in Fullmetal’s absence the clanking of armour caught his attention. Oh, thank GOD, Alphonse! And where ever the youngest Elric is the oldest is sure to be with him. Unfortunately instead of the office door getting kicked in like it usually does when Edward’s in, it was opened like, like when Al had to drop in and deliver field reports when Ed wasn’t able to. Sure thoughts days are far few and in-between, and Roy means far like it only ever happened maybe three or four times in the last two years.

“Colonel Mustang? Have you seen Ed? He didn’t come back to the dorm last night.”

Aww shit

When Edward woke up, he had a splitting head ake.

‘Son of a bitch by head’ as the blond started to gain focus in his sight. With each blink, Edward became more and more aware of his surroundings. As he was getting his sight back in working order, Edward started listening, for well anything that could give him a hint as to what was going on.

“Well well well, it seems that the Fullmetal brat is finally awake” Colonel Marks, that damn bastard! How dare he- FUCKING HELL MAN Edward knew that colonel was up to something but kidnapping a State Alchemist? REALY?! To hell with the military the second Edward gets back he’s transmuting all the uniforms pink- then again that might be an improvement-

“So, what ya want?” Ed asked a hiss of curses hot on his lips.

“...no what’s happening? What are you going to do to me?” Marks inquired now genuinely confused. Edward gave him a dry look.

“Not the first time I’ve been Kidnapped you, shithead, now answer my question what the fuck do you want from me?!”

Recovering from his confusion, Marks backhanded the boy.

“Shut up! I’ll be asking the questions here!”

‘Welp I didn’t miss the physical abuse that comes along with kidnapping’

“Now, what did I need for you? Oh, that’s right! I’m sure you remember Dr. Tucker”

“Ya, how could I forget…”

“Well before the military archived or destroyed his documents I stashed a few. And I must admit Dr. Tucker was an ingenious man- but his taste in test subjects is left to be desired” Marks walked off to the side, Edwards gaze followed him as Marks stopped at a nearby table. Marks picked up a stick, examining it. Despite the lighting, Edward was able to see a chunk of chock secured on top.

I think we can guess where this is going.

“Using regular average people, and regular almost common and unintelligent animals, bah what a waste! What about the real animals the rare and exotic kind? The ones that have greater brain function!” as Marks made his speech he waltzed over to a switch, and flipped it, turning on the lights. BlinkingEdward’s eyes finally adjusted to the light, and his ears were met with the sound of several different animal cries.

“And what batter human test subject to fuse them with than a Prodigy?”

‘fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck’ Edward swallowed heard. It took everything to keep his breathing even, to not show fear.

Back when Tucker had fused Nina and Alexander(the dog) there was a nagging part of him that always questioned why Tucker didn’t use him as a subject for his experiments? In fact, if Tucker used Edward Nina would be alive! But then, Ed would be…

AGHH this is so frustrating- frustrating and scary, very scary.

As Marks started making the circle Edward tried formulating a plan. The idiot had left both his arm and leg, sure they were tied down but he could still try to carve an alchemy circle in an attempt to free himself, wouldn’t be the first time but definitely not the last.

Just as Edwards had carved out half of an alchemy circle with a screw from his Automail arm, into the backside of the chair he was bound to Marks grabbed the chair’s head and tossed it onto the now complete transmutation circle. The force used tipped the chair on its side causing it to fall side wase and for Edward to his is head on the floor, screw falling loose out oh his hand.

“Now~ what animal to fuse you with hm?” Despite the throbbing pain in his head Edward was trying his damned hardest the unscrew another bolt. Sinelty prayed to whatever god could hear him,(despite not believing in holy ghost) that this was just a bad dream, that it wasn’t real- that Al would come charging in w-with Mustang and Hawkeye and everyone else that, that he could just escape! Escape this mad man and his deranged experiments!

“Links, bobcats, lions, apes…hmm squid maybe? No, they may be intelligent but one good hit and it’s dead. OH how bought a cheetah! Or or maybe an elephant!”

“I know, how bought a crow? Common yes but they have great learning capabilities and like parrots can vocalize! I would have actually used a parrot but that shipment came in late and the blasted things ended up dead and I need living test subjects-” Marks continued to ramble as he approached the cage that held the blackbird. As Marks took the bird out of its cage(the poor thing squawking up a storm) inspecting it to make sure its flight feathers had been clipped the door burst open, a pillar of flame erupting from the now doorless entrance as the fire dimmed and the smoke cleared there stood one(1) vary pissed Roy Mustang, hand poised and ready to snap again.

“Well isn’t this a surprise” Mustang hissed

“Colonel Marks I’m going to ask you this once let my Major go and ill only burn you a little” And just to be clear when Mustang says ‘a little’ he means A LOT!!

When all was said and done Marks was arrested and awaiting trial. Edward was taken to a hospital, despite saying he didn’t need to go to the hospital, to have his injuries looked after.

Alphonse had stepped out of the room for a little. While he’s glad his brother is safe he for some reason couldn’t help but think that Marks was working with or for someone, so to ease his fear that his brother was being stalked he opted to look around for anyone suspicious. Besides the younger brother, Mustang had opted to say a little longer as well, he was the boy’s legal guardian after all. As an added bonus he gets to slack off from his paperwork!

“So how are holding up Fullmetal?”

“...I’m fine”

Roy let out a sigh, of course, the kid would say that.

“You know it’s okay if you’re not right? Damn it Ed you were almost turned into a Chimera for crying out loud! By a fellow military personal, no less- doesn’t that bother you at all?”

Ed just stayed quiet dwelling on his commanding officer’s words. He wouldn’t lie and say it wasn’t scary, it was. If the Team hadn’t arrived when they did Ed wouldn’t be human anymore, or well less human than he already believed himself to be.

“I-” Roy raised an eyebrow arms crossed as he looked at his subordinate.

“I could just use a hug,” The blond said truthfully.

This was supposed to be fluff but here we are-

Josh, it’s been 7-8 pages on my Dox… that is over 2,500 words!

"You're jealous aren't you?" "I'm not jealous."

To say Adrian was jealous was an understatement. Not that he would admit it- no not in a hundred years, but he was in fact jealous. Jealous that Luka was hitting on his very good friend Marinette. He didn’t know why but his bones were screaming with jealousy every time they were close together.

As for him being subtle about it…

Think, wearing white to a wedding and tossing red wine on the bride, kind of subtle. And it seems everyone has realized that fact except Adrian and Marinette themselves.

And yes Alex has started a betting pool, it’s currently at a solid one hundred euro, and steadily rising by the day.

The only reason why anyone hasn’t said anything yet is that they want their sweet sunshine child to figure it out for himself, but it’s been two weeks! If this goes any further they just might have to intervene.

Yes, Intervene and ruin what might have been a tremendous eye-opening lesson to the socially inept blond… on second thought- no-no that would be too cruel, time for some bro action, and Nino is the best bro around.

“Hey bro, whatcha up to?”

“Oh hey Nino nothing much just trying to do my homework” the blond responded in his usual happy tone. At the moment the two were at the park. Adrian had a photoshoot and was doing his math homework in between shoots. Nino just so happened to be nearby when he spotted his friend.

“Ha, almost forgot about that, good thing it's not due till later am I right?” the DJ jokes, causing the model to laugh. From there the two chatted away about anything and everything- and when Adrian asked how he and Alya were doing he saw the perfect moment.

“Things between me and Al are perfect, but I got to ask man, are you interested in anyone?” Nino wigged his eyebrows to try and make this seem as jovial as possible. To his credit, the blond blushed and sputtered a little.

“N-no! At least I don’t think so? I-i mean-”

“Bummer, *gasp* what about Marinette?! I’ve seen the way you look at her you’ve so got a thing for her dude!”

“M-MARINETTE?! B-but she’s just a friend!”

‘Just a friend my ass”

“Besides isn’t she with Luka? Even if I did have feelings for her I wouldn’t what to get in the way of their relationship- that would be wrong!”

Nino looked him dead in the eye and tipped back laughing.

“Dude they aren’t dating”

“What”

“Ya bro, they aren’t dating. Buut if you don’t step in and ask her out they just might~”

“What makes you think I want to date Marinette anyway she-”

“-just a friend, I know, but dude you gotta admit you deen looking her way more often these days, especially when Luka’s around!”

Adrian scoffed “no I do not” he mumbled his flusteredness having worn off. The light dust of pink was still present though. That’s when Nino hit him with the ‘J boom’.

“You’re jealous aren’t you?” He teased

“I am not jealous” Adrian defend

“Adrian, my man I’ve seen the way you look at her, and just how much you brighten up when she in the same room you soooo got a thing for Marinette its glaringly obvious- in fact, how do you feel every time you see out every day ladybug with Luka?”

How he felt when Luka was with Marinette? What kind of question was that! It’s not like he wants to bat the musician away every time he’s near no totally not! Or go all Cat Noir him ether and whisk his princess away. And he totally wouldn’t do everything he possibly could just to see that bright smile-

Oh, oh no

“Shit,” Adrian said, realizing just how bad down he had it.

“Welcome to reality Adrian, it’s not easy but it’s whatever”

“You smile like an idiot when you are talking to them."

When wondering the world as long as this Elf has, it starts to take a toll on you. Especially when your travel companions are less than, how would one say? Competent. Regardless the purple-haired Elf put on a weary smile as her companions argued. It’s been going on like this since they all met. Hopefully, by the time they convince the last chosen to join them, they’ll simmer down some.

“Mei! Come over here, take a look at this!” A red-headed human called. Haru the energetic human and the chosen of the Sprite amulet. The first human friend Mei had ever made, and would never let go- not after what happened with Logan.

“I’m coming! What is it?” Mei asked, walking over to the redhead.

“Look! ButterBees!”

And ButterBees indeed. The little creatures were a buttery pale colour, and like the name implies they create Butter, not honey. The butter they made was sweeter and highly sought after.

“If there are this many here, there has to be a hive close by- we have to find it!” Haru said excitement lining her voice.

Mei gave a questioning look before mentally slapping herself in the face. Haru was homeless, a pickpocket thief- of course, she wouldn't have access to get such things regularly.

Now critically thinking about it, it's not out of their way, and it would be good to have ButterBee butter on hand, not just for cooking but for trade too.

“Sure why not!”

“YES! Luke, Simon! Where ButterBee hive hunting!”

The two in question were a bit ahead of the two young women. Luke was a tall gray-blue wolf beast, a werewolf as some would call him, yellow-lined his fur, his Ruby red cape swaying as he turned back around. Simon on the other hand was a mer-foke a fish person, their teal tinted scales glittered in the sun, eye patch fixed over their right eye. Brown leather tunic and maroon overcoat keeping the fish person decent.

“ButterBees?” Simon paraded, clearly confused

“Right your short-term memory curse, ButterBees are like honey bees Si”

“Ha thank you-”

“Luke”

“Yes thank you, Luke”

Shaking his head the Wolf beast led the way back to the girls.

Finding the Hive was more complicated than they originally thought. We won't bother with the details but it should be noted that fire was used to disastrous effects. In the end, though they ended up with about two jars of Butter. All in all, despite the burns- good job team!

“Aw ya ButterBee Butter! Can’t wait to use it!” Haru exclaimed, Luke, let out a chuckle as he finished rubbing some ointment on Mei for her burns. Not long after their little victory they set up camp to rest for the night, Simon had already gone off to bed completely dead to the world.

Just then a chill ran through the makeshift camp, and Haus amulet gave off an eerie glow.

“Hey, Sprit!” The human heated joyfully, the spirit was a purple, well spirit that had somehow ended up bound to the redhead’s amulet, it aided them in battle, but mostly to protect its human. Mei has suspected Haru might be a necromancer and just decent realize it yet, but isn't completely sure as Haru does have complete control over the apparition but chooses when to take control, leaving it to do as it wants unless otherwise. Still, regardless of control, she can help but smile as the redhead as she babbles the day’s events to Sprit, the apparition floating around her, soaking in the information and huffing responses that only Haru seemed to understand.

“Haa I know that look, you like Miss Holland~” the Wolf beast said. Mei’s eyes and face burned deep with a rose blush.

“N-no I do not! What makes you think such- such outlandish things!” the Elf stutters turning to face the beast. Luke lets out a chuckle.

“You smile like an idiot when you are talking to them."

“What?”

“Um-hm, and your smiling like an idiot right now, just looking at her”

And so my suffering begins

Prompts List

(I found these on Pintrest and compiled them because I thought they were interesting. They are not my original ideas.)

Fluff

You smile like an idiot when you are talking to them."

"You're jealous aren't you?" "I'm not jealous."

"I could just use a hug."

"I saw that. You just checked out my ass."

"You're everything to me."

"I don't care what they think, to me, you are perfect."

"You're not going to lose me."

"Hear my heartbeat? Just focus on that."

"How much of that did you hear?"

"I could kiss you right now."

"Just pretend to be my date."

"I'm going to take care of you."

"Are you still awake..."

"Don't get up. I'll do it."

"I think I love you."

"Just one kiss?"

"You're adorable when you are sleepy."

"It's ok. I couldn't sleep anyway."

"Shhh, come back to bed."

"Wait! don't pull away... not yet."

"You always make me blush so much!"

"From the second I saw you, I couldn't get over how beautiful you are."

"No you can't get up. You are my prisoner for today."

"You own my heart."

"It's nice that your voice was the first thing I heard today."

Angst

"I said I would be there when you need it but-" "You weren't. That's the thing. You weren't."

"Please don't leave me."

"Letting go was the hardest thing I have ever had to do."

"I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way."

"Why can't you love me back?"

"I can't forgive you."

"Leave."

"It's okay. I understand. You can leave. They all do."

"Don't. Don't do that. Don't make me choose. Every time I'll pick him. Every time. I can't have you hate me for that."

"I don't have a choice. I never had."

"Does it ever stop hurting?" "No, you just make room for it."

"We are not the same and never will be."

"You've never hurt me. Ever."

"I don't want your apology."

"You're not safe here."

"I wish you were here."

"I wasn't ready to say goodbye."

"Stop pushing everyone away."

"It's better this way."

"Don't make this harder than it already is."

"There's nothing you can do."

"It wasn't your fault."

"Don't leave."

"Just talk to me please."

"Let me help you."

Funny

"Surprise! I'm back from the dead! Isn't that exciting?"

"Go away." "You're holding me you idiot." "So mean."

"You have to tell me why we are committing a felony before we do it. Not that that's going to stop us, but at least I'll have all the facts."

"It's a long story." "I got time, try me."

"Are you stupid or stupid?"

"I love you, but sometimes I want to throw you off a cliff."

"Do you know how much I love you?" "Who do you want dead this time?"

"Are you done with that?..."

"I swear it won't happen again."

"Just admit it. I'm right."

"Excuse you?"

"I might have had a few shots."

"What's with the box?"

"I'm not going to stop poking you until you give me some attention."

"Isn't this amazing!"

"Stop hogging all the blankets."

"Are you really going to leave without asking me the question you have been dying to ask me?"

"Friends don't look at each other the way you two do."

"I'm not your friend. I'm your boyfriend, get it right."

"Blood looks good on you."

"I believe that was the very thing I told you not to do." "Did you really think I'd listen?"

"I'm not who you think I am." "You think I don't know that?"

"If you do that again I will throw you out the window you- what are you doing?" "Checking how high the drop is to see if it's worth it."

"I have a solution." "Thank goodness." "It involves fire." "Absolutely not."

"I didn't do it." "Then why are you laughing?" "Because whoever did is a genius."

Other

"Say that again."

"I promised I would protect you. And I intend to keep that damn promise."

"You weren't supposed to laugh! I'm so embarrassed."

"No, don't cry. I hate it when you cry."

"You're burning up."

"Hold my hand. You are going to be fine."

"You need to eat something."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Don't touch me!"

"You think I am dumb enough to fall for that stupid move?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Be more careful next time. I don't want to bandage you up again."

"I'll never let you go."

"Hands off."

"It was you the whole time."

"I feel like I can't breathe."

"Prove it."

"I might never get another chance to say this."

"You make me want things I can't have."

"Tell me I'm wrong."

"You did what!?"

"We'd make such a cute couple."

"Don't ask me that."

"You're not my favorite person today."

"You are remarkably well behaved tonight. What did you do?"
