drabble for starsandtildes -- the Devil guards his own

Title: the Devil guards his own
Requester: starsandtildes
Series: Full Metal Alchemist
Requested Topic: Pride and Wrath: Mrs Bradley
Due to http://incandescens.livejournal.com/788099.html


Wrath's position is that nobody touches what is his. Nobody crosses him. Nobody irritates him. Nobody speaks too loudly in his presence. Nobody threatens his wife.

Pride's position is that his is the best. Who else should he have for mother but the wife of the leader of the country? Her behaviour is perfect. She is an ornament to the Presidency.

Mrs Bradley walks between the two of them, smiles at them, cares for them, and thinks that the burning shadows behind their eyes are love for each other, and faith in their family, and hope for the future.
