On Monday: Monday
A challenge with the word 'routine'
For

On Monday, Roy enters his office at eight o'clock sharp. Is separated from the brewing facilities at eight forty-five am sharp. He walks through the building, looking smug official until, at quarter past nine o'clock, the General Hawkeye takes aim on the head with his gun and asked politely to sit down and start seeing your paperwork so that, for now , everyone can go home
before the midnight.
At eleven o'clock to nine o'clock, EdElric Ward kicks the door and into the center of the room, his brow wrinkled. At eleven twenty-two has finally learned to yell and scream only give Roy the lead, even more than they already have. At eleven twenty-two, has made enough of what it is trying to achieve and to not hate everyone. At Eleven Twenty has grudgingly learned to accept the almost family with the building. At eleven twenty has the same height as Roy Mustang, that irony is something very, very cruel.
At half past eleven am, in point, Roy finally lifts the face of his paperwork and aims to realize the vision stop at your office for the first time. Feigns surprise. Also pretends he is not interested. Pretend it whenWard, automatically searching bandages, bruises or other injuries. There is none. Edward stops. Roy already has another mission for the next week. Somewhere warm and tropical. Some place with beautiful beaches and beautiful women. Ed really needs a woman. Roy
never expected to find one.
not want to give it, in this ritual, this routine. Is the bright spot in his day, the lighter part of his life. And simultaneously the most important. It's selfish. Someone really should find a girl to Edward.
At eleven thirty and three o'clock Edward leaves. Roy misses him even before you leave.
Thirty minutes after midnight, Roy finally goes. Hawkeye just shakes his headresources to the desk of Roy. It is so different from the routine that Roy turned away (at eleven to six o'clock and fourteen seconds), and Ed is beautiful, delicate features and golden. And Roy can not think of anything to say, and is wrong, everything is so bad, is so far from what he knows and where is safe.
Then Ed's face is wrinkled, and launches into one of his monologues daily insults, and everything returns to its place.
Roy let his cocky, entertaining expression gets in his face and wondered what kind of opportunity is just lost. Edward is closer today, and Roy can see how their muscles move under his shirt while moving the arms. Roy responds to what is supposed to respond, is an arrogant bastard whenis supposed to be, and usually shows his moral rotate your god complex.
When Ed goes to eleven am twenty-five Roy tells him to watch. Ed sees strange, shrugs and leaves. Roy is chides him for being stupid.
really having to watch their language more carefully when the boy is around.
Roy remains in office until a quarter past two am He wondered if Hawkeye is proud of him, finally stayed later than her. After probably remember this with Havoc, and not thinking about it at all.
walk home, because there is no one to drive. She hates her home.
is empty.

Wednesdayuarenta and nine o'clock
not sleep at all.

On Friday, Roy arrives at work at eight am sharp that there is nothing more for him. Café. Hawkeye. Desktop. Who the hell cares?
Among the paperwork from your desk is a silver watch. The silver watch Edward. On top of a letter of resignation. Led by Roy, alchemists can choose their own time of removal if they have served at least six years first. Roy hates the rule at this time.
Roy knows it's better this way. Always knew it would end well. Unfinished. He could not even say goodbye. Still
breaks down.
Nobody says anything.

At sa routine that must be hallucinating. Roy rubbed his eyes and looks back again and now Edward is standing three feet from him.
Roy says the name of Edward. Edward tells
asshole. Then
if
is Edward. After this sure, Roy realizes he does not know what else to think, why, why the hell is Edward here after destroying all ties with him? Edward
that stupid again when asked.
Roy is tired and lonely, but that's ok. Even if Edward hits him until it became a bloody mass, okay, that the bright spot here for a little more.
Roy asks what time it is.
can be asked whetherconvince the boy to stay a little longer, maybe offer tea, perhaps provoke a fight.
Edward walks toward him, pushes him and tells him he looks like shit. Roy is very aware of that, but it is important because, suddenly, you realize that you have the chance to say what ever he said Friday.
says "Edward", but does not say "goodbye" in large part because Ed kisses him.

On Sunday morning ... or maybe on Sunday afternoon they were down Roy's bed and stumble to the bathroom. Roy tries to use toothpaste and Ed takes it away. Then eat it alive for just having a toothbrush at home.
When Roy comes to shaving, Ed stands behind him andruns his fingers down her sides, under his shirt, until Roy can hardly sit still. Cut the chin and curses.
fight over Soap, toilet, shower, shampoo, and Ed threatens to take you shopping as soon as they finished.
And Roy just laughs, because it is a terrible thing
permanent and has not laughed for so long.
And the clocks move downstairs, and soon will have to go and see what time it is, because there are new routines built everywhere, about the old and the old routine is dead, not surprised at all.
