Every once in a while, he would have time to relax. Those chances became less and less likely the further he went on.
But when he could, he would stop and look. He would stop and look at the metal he had for an arm and a leg. The way it shone in the light, and they way it was structured.
He would look at it and see how hard it was worked on. And he never really told anyone he did this, but he did. He would stare, and he would appreciate. Without the metal he would be nothing.
He would not be what he was. His metal made him him. It helped make him the boy he was, and he loved it. He loved everything about it.
Without it, he would be useless. Unable to help the world in danger. Unable to stop the enemy. The metal helped saved lives.
He would stare at the metal, because in the light it reflected, he could see home. He could see him past, everything that he had been through.
But the most important part was that he could see who made the metal.
Because if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be what he was in the first place.
His auto-mail made Edward Elric the hero that he was. And when he could, he would just relax and stare into it.
Inside, he could see her.
And that's what he needed.
