V-Day Means Work Day. [OPEN]

[thewarisover]

Characters: Roy and other Workaholics
Location: The DOGS Office
Rating: G for now!
Time: February 14, after training until whenever!
Description: What do you do while love is in the air and a chocolate craze has hit Death City? Work like nobody's business.



Even with all of the buzz and the excitement, Valentine's Day was just another day, wasn't it? That meant that people got up, people trained, and people went to work, especially if they happened to be employed with DOGS and the Watch.

Of course, Death City had a way of making things stop being normal pretty quickly...

[Ed usually stayed away from the Watch office, much as he kept away from any of the military offices back home, but it'd been some time since he'd checked in on Roy. The Watch commander had seemed to be alright, but that didn't mean much, as he was a master of disguising emotions.

He was surprised to see the colonel on the couch when he popped in.]

Oh, hey! There you are.

[thewarisover]

Fullmetal.

[Blinking at.]

...You don't usually drop in. What's up?

[toukakoukan]

[He approached Roy and stared at him, furrowing his brow at the urge he felt to suddenly... hug the colonel? He must be feeling strange. Shaking his head, he tried to ignore it.]

Yeah, it's just kind of weird out there today... I thought I'd drop in to stay out of it.

[thewarisover]

Well, it's not exactly normal in here either, but I suppose it's better than whatever's happening on the streets.

[Which wasn't particularly harmful, from what Roy had experienced, but. Well.]

Why don't you sit down?

[toukakoukan]

[Ed fidgeted a little, wondering if he should suddenly take off if he was feeling this strange. But he found himself moving without really his own permission to sit down quickly by Roy.]

Looks like silly spells or someth--

[He'd held tight for as long as he could but cut himself off to draw forward and hug Roy rather tightly, making a surprised sound himself at what the hell was happening.]

[thewarisover]

[...YOU'RE surprised, Fullmetal? Try how Roy's feeling right now.]

...Edward?

[He's so shocked, he's using your first name.]

[toukakoukan]

[As soon as he's able to pull back he does, like he was yanked by something, looking slightly horrified.]

That--! I didn't--!

[He practically flies off the couch as if distance will make it better.]

I didn't mean to do that!!

[thewarisover]

[Wow who would have ever thought that someone could move that fast?]

Sure looked like you did.

[He's honestly surprised here, bro.]

[toukakoukan]

No!! It was an accident, okay?!

[So why the hell is he moving forward to hug Roy again, bending a little in front of him.]

[thewarisover]

Uh-huh...

[Not moving away, lol.]

[toukakoukan]

[Jumping back again when the urge fades. He brings up his hand over his face, making a frustrated sound.]

I'm really not trying to do that, okay?? I just... couldn't stop!

[thewarisover]

Did you eat anything strange?

[toukakoukan]

No! Just--

[He stops. Damn his appetite vs. his common sense.]

There were these chocolates...

[thewarisover]

...Uh-huh?

[Go on.]

[toukakoukan]

Well, I dunno... they were outside, I thought they were from someone I knew.

[He's rubbing his forehead with dismay now.]

Did someone poison me or something?

[Hold that thought, here comes another hug.]

Agh, damnit!! [He yanks back again, holding his head.]

[thewarisover]

[Chuckling a bit --

-- and then reaching out to hug you.

Yep.]

[toukakoukan]

[He gasps softly, frozen in place while it happens from the shock before he pushes back, embarrassed.]

Did you eat them too or something?

[thewarisover]

No.

[Patting you on the back before letting go.]

Thank you, by the way.

[toukakoukan]

...For what?

[He stands back more now, as if keeping some amount of distance will make the curse just stop already.]

[thewarisover]

The hugs.

[He hadn't realized that maybe he needed one.]

[toukakoukan]

I-I didn't mean to, okay?

[His gaze drops, voice defensive. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but he was sure it might be something Roy would hold over his head from this point on.]

[thewarisover]

That doesn't change the fact that I'm grateful for them.

[toukakoukan]

Yeah, whatever. [tsuntsun]

Look, I'm getting out of here... [Before I hug you again.]

[thewarisover]

Sure thing. See you on patrol.

[toukakoukan]

[He nods and raises his hand in a wave as he heads out the way he came.]
