Words: 296
Summary: Stock checking at the lab leads Ed to think strange things.
A.N: I came up with this idea while slowly waking up so that probably explains the insanity you are about to read. I wanted to write it for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luxquintessence’s birthday. I know you said it has been rescheduled but that has never stopped me before :) Hope you like, feel free to find it not funny :P Happy birthday Lux <3
It was time for the annual stock check at the lab, Ed always found this the most boring thing ever but he didn’t want to let Al do it on his own so here he was checking off all the chemicals they had and writing down the things they needed to order. His mind was wandering as he went about the menial task.
“Sodium chloride; Sodium hydroxide; Sodium aluminate; Sodium nitrate; Sodium oxide; Lactisole…” He stopped quietly reading the names and looked down at the list he was making. The last page had been nothing but Sodium compounds and, he realised, there were a lot of them.
“Sodium is such a whore!”
“What? Did you say something brother?”
Ed looked at Al who had now stopped what he was doing to focus on Ed. He hadn’t realised he’d said that so loudly. Never mind, might as well share his thought with his brother, he was sure he’d find it funny too.
“Sodium is a whore Al. Have you seen all the compounds that it makes? It’ll pretty much go with anything.” Ed was laughing at his own joke, if you could call it a joke. Maybe the repetitiveness of the job was finally getting to him.
“You know brother, you used to say the exact same thing about General Mustang.”
Ed flinched at Al’s words, he had conveniently forgotten about that. There was a good reason for forgetting though.
“Maybe you should call him Sodium as a pet name when you’re, to quote lieutenant Havoc, ‘going at it like bunnies’?”
Al smiled sweetly and turned back to his work leaving Ed staring at his back, his mouth wide open, and his cheeks bright red. ‘Maybe Sodium wasn’t so much of a whore after all’ he thought.

Thank you for your gift!

Re: Thank you for your gift!
Date: 2012-07-01 08:31 pm (UTC)I did not know that, that worked out rather well :D
I'm glad you liked it <33 For some reason, just as I was waking up this morning, I was thinking of random sodium compounds and then the idea just hit me that it would be perfect for a fic for you :P
My science humour fails but I'll work on it for next year <33333

Also, don't forget sodium pentathol, "truth serum" hehehehe
Re: Thank you for your gift!
Date: 2012-07-01 09:44 pm (UTC)Ed eyed the sodium pentathol on the shelf, he really shouldn't do what he was thinking, he really should just leave it there even if it would be so easy to just hide the discrepency on the stock-take lists. Taking it would be stealing and would be the wrong thing to do. He should do the right thing and not touch it.
Ed never was good at doing the right thing.
Damn you *headdesks some more*
