summary: Roy finishes a night with Ed by reflecting on how he feels as he watches Ed sleep next to him. RoyxEd fluff. WARNING YAOI.
He kissed the boy passionately on the lips before proceeding to place feather light kisses all over his face and neck, both of them still panting from their previous activities.
The dark haired man pressed one slightly longer lasting kiss on the boy's forehead, then pulled away, and they shared a loving smile before the boy closed his eyes and fell asleep with a contented sigh. Roy gazed at him with love and adoration bright in his eyes. It had been so long since Roy had felt happy and whole like this, not so long ago he had been coming home from work, drinking, then falling asleep as his method of forgetting his problems and fears. Yet somehow he had been blessed with Ed, and now he came home to love and warmth, working through their problems together. They had smiled together, wept together, and shred their bodies, hearts and souls. It amazed him how Ed had managed to stay strong throughout all the tragedies in his young life .
Roy vividly remembered the night Ed had collapsed into his arms and simply cried because he was fed up and had enough, and as Roy had watched the sobs shaking his small body, he had found himself crying as well, the tiny droplets dampening Ed's soft golden hair. Roy looked back on this memory of his with the smallest of smiles, a smile because Ed had trusted him enough to show his weaknesses, however big or small they may be. He remembered the first night they had made love, and Ed's moans of ecstasy had filled him completely and made him moan in return, that night had been one of the first nights without nightmares in a very long time. He had always thought of sex as something shallow, people doing it only for physical pleasure, but with Ed it was so much more.
It was hard, but soft, painful, yet healing, both tender and passionate. It was ecstasy he had never felt before, filling his soul and making him focus on nothing but Edward and his needs. He had completely and utterly bowed his head and given up to love the moment he had fallen for Edward...
That is the very word needed- fallen. He had fallen in love with Ed completely, but he didn't mind one bit. As long as he could remain by Ed's side, he would be happy.
Roy leaned towards Ed's peacefully sleeping face, relaxed for once. He pressed his lips to his sleeping lover's ear and gently murmured, "I love you, my Ed." Then gave hist forehead a soft kiss, lingering there for a moment, then placing his head on the pillow and touching their noses together. "Love you lots, Roy." Ed said sleepily, his subconscious responding automatically to the words he heard so often. Roy smirked, thinking of the many nights of passion ahead of them, after all, happiness was a powerful aphrodisiac.
After that long night, Roy then fell asleep, a smile still on his face.
