So about a week ago I found a newspaper title, "Together in Solitude," and, because my mind is always thinking of FMA, I thought of Ed/Roy. Hence, this set of drabbles. It was originally just going to be a oneshot, but just a few minutes later I was playing with my FMA cards and found nine that could tie into this theme. So I decided to do a perfect drabble (100 words) for each card and tie it into "Together in Solitude." Then I thought that it would be cool if I did each card twice. Once for Ed, and once for Roy. My intention is to post both at the same time, and you can all tell me how well I managed to blend the two and how well/horribly I did on them. Please do, because it would make me happy! So without (much) further delay, here's the first chapter of "Together in Solitude."
Disclaimer: I am not wonderful and awesome enough to think up such a magnificent idea as FMA, and hence it is not mine.

Ed's POV:
I draw myself away from you because I know I don't deserve you. I have lied. I have killed. Worst of all, I was the one who never supported you. All I ever did was run from you when you tried to draw near to me. I was afraid of hurting you as well. I stay as far away from you as I can. I pretend I don't care, but it's all an act. You haunt my every thought, are behind my every move. I love you, and I don't want you dragged into this hell that is my life.
