Child

Ed knew that he was no longer a child. Knew that he hadn't been a child since the day that his mother died. Sometimes he felt like a child, felt like a naïve little kid. Other times, he knew that there was no way that he was a child.

Other times, he knew he was an adult, no matter what the law said.

Other times, he knew that he hadn't been a child for a long time.

He felt like this whenever he went into one of his contemplative moods. He felt like this whenever he knew that Al was sad. He felt like this when he looked down and saw the gleam of the automail where his arm should have been.

Sometimes, the knowledge made him sad, and sometimes the knowledge made him happy.

He was sad because he knew that he would never have his childhood back.

He was happy because he knew that Roy Mustang never would have fallen in love with a child.

Fini

A.N. Wow… I wrote a FMA fic. This is weird. Normally I stay over in the Danny Phantom section…. Although I do have an idea for a FAKE story floating around up there somewhere. Anyway, I haven't been over in this section for a LONG time, so if this story sounds anything another story that's been posted on here, I apologize. If it is, it is totally unintentional.

Please, review!!!! Nona likes reviews!!! Gods, I sound like an idiot...
