Four Drabbles for the Price of One!
Here are the first four drabbles in the series "You Learn Something New Everyday."
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Rating: K+, some minor swearing here and there.
Characters/Pairings: Kimblee, Miles (It's really KiMiles if you look hard enough)
Summary: While keeping an eye on Kimblee, Miles learns a few things about him.
Drabble One
Miles had, reluctantly, learned a lot about Kimblee while he was watching him. One of his more irritating realizations was that Kimblee always had time for fun. Normally this wouldn't bother him at all, but it seemed Kimblee's favourite pastime was annoying him.
Furthermore, Kimblee's hat had “fallen off” fifteen times. Miles had picked it up fourteen times. One time Miles decided to completely ignore the hat, and continued walking. Unfortunately, that seemed to amuse Kimblee even more.
However, the fifteenth that damned hat fell to the floor, Miles learned that Kimblee did not like reaching into the trash can.
Drabble Two
Kimblee had a routine, so he always called the Führer at the same time everyday. At some point, he didn't even need to look at his surroundings to find his way, or at least not often.
This was a sort of solace for Miles, because this arrangement would only be more irritating if he was always giving directions.
However, every single day, Kimblee paused at the same broom closet, stared at it for a moment, turned to Miles almost subtly, and quickly started walking again.
Miles always felt he was missing something, and thought it might be better that way.
Drabble Three
Kimblee found humour in almost everything, including people's names. 'People' meaning Miles. Knowing that Kimblee was laughing at him in his own head at any given moment was annoying enough, but the constant jokes drove Miles crazy.
They weren't even good jokes either.
He'd say, “I wonder how far it is to Bazkuul? Miles, lay down and let's find out.” Kimblee's subordinates would always chuckle nervously, but he never seemed to notice. He was too busy giving Miles that god damned smile of his.
Interestingly enough, Kimblee didn't make so many of those jokes after Miles started calling him Kimberly.
Drabble Four
Kimblee took his grooming very seriously. He kept Miles waiting in the hallway for him for at least an hour in the morning, adjusted his hair when he thought no one was looking, and kept a comb in his pocket.
So Miles was expecting him to ask where the showers were, but he didn't. In the end, Miles had to bring them up, and when he did Kimblee immediately planned to use them. “Shall we go then, Major?”
“Oh, no, I'll be checking up on the Elrics for now.”
Kimblee almost looked disappointed, and Miles refused to ask about it.
