Fluorine, Uranium, Nitrogen by colonel_bastard (FMA)
854 words; gen; PG-13; humor; characters: Roy Mustang & Maes Hughes, academy days
Summary: Hughes makes a mockery of SCIENCE.

Mustang pauses and rereads what he’s just written. It’s almost too perfect to be an accident. He considers raising an objection, but decides to give Hughes the benefit of the doubt.
“All right,” he says cautiously.
Without hesitating, Maes says, “Phosphorus, oxygen, radon.”
From memory, Roy scribbles— P, O, Rn.
“For god’s sake, Maes,” he groans. “Be serious for five minutes.”
