Edward gasped as the bullet ripped through his insides and fell to his knees, struggling to breathe.
"Ed!!" Roy ran to the young blonde, catching him in his arms. "Why did you...block it?" He whispered. Ed coughed some blood
"Because... I love you, you stupid bastard...." He choked.
"...You idiot..." Roy cradled the youth gently, tears coming to his eyes. Ed coughed more
"Am I going to die?" He asked slowly.
"..." Roy stayed silent, not wanting to tell Ed there was a good possibility that he WOULD die. Edward groaned
"Just tell me okay?"
"...Most likely, yeah..."
"Heh... and there I thought that I might have been able to tell you I loved you before I was about to die." He whispered. Roy kissed Ed softly, the tears finaly spilling over on to his cheeks.
"I love you too, Edward Elric..."
"Well at least I got to hear that first..... don't cry Roy."
"I can't help it..." Roy muttered, sniffling softly. Ed felt his own eyes fill with tears
"I don't want you to be unhappy... when I'm gone..."
"Y...You're the first person I've ever truly loved, Ed..."
"Same here.... I just didn't think I'd lose you as soon as I told you that..." Ed sobbed, the colour rising to his cheeks. Roy cradled him gently, his crying just getting worse seeing Ed cry. The blonde choked out more blood
"Tell Al I'm sorry... and he's gonna just have to keep searching for the stone.... and that he'll become a great alchemist once he gets his body back.... please help him.... and say goodbye to the others... and Winry...and I hope you become Fuhrer…. and never forget.... I-I love you and I a-always have..." Ed coughed and shivered, then went limp in the Colonel's arms "Goodbye.... m-my C-c-colonel..." Roy sobbed, laying his head on Ed's still chest.
"Good bye...Full Metal..."
