Hiii! :) U were asking for drabble requests and I've got an idea that won't come out of my head lol.
The settings is when Ed first joins the military and Roy sees Ed arguing with Al. And Al getting visibly fed up grabs Ed by the scruff of his jacket and Ed goes completely limp and looks extremely confused. So awhile later Roy while having a heated argument with Ed, attempts this tactic. . .
Hi hi!! Sorry this took a couple days to get to, I was letting the idea sit and marinate! Gonna take free rein of this really and see how it goes!! Just gonna pick up where you let off with the prompt and go from where Roy picks him up! Hope I do the idea justice and you enjoy!
Roy half expected him to struggle, half expected him to continue yelling, despite the fact that Roy was only doing this because he’d seen it work when Al did it.
True to how he’d responded when Al had picked him up by the scruff of his shirt, Ed went complete limp. Not a movement. Not a sound. No protest. No thrashing. Completely still.
Roy felt a fleeting moment of victory. A smirk played across his face.
And then it quickly became unsettling how still the boy was. It simply wasn’t natural to respond in that manner, and Roy couldn’t figure out why in the world Ed would act like this in the first place. As quickly as he’d picked the poor boy up, he was down on the ground again. Still silent and unmoving.
Roy opened his mouth to say something, but Ed suddenly turned and left the inner office. Without a word.
Roy watched him curiously.
Well, it had certainly shut the boy up, and for that Roy was relieved. But why the hell did it work?
Feel free y’all to send in more drabble requests!!
