This fic has been spawned by a picture named this. I had it as a screensaver for a while, and one day when I was looking at it, this just sort of popped into my head. Alchemical Romance is about the equivalent exchange involved in Ed and Roy's relationship. Hopefully the fic will turn out as good as it sounded in my head, but as any fan fic writer out there knows, stories don't always turn out how you intended them to! Well, on that note, I'll stop babbling and let you all read.
Disclaimer: If I owned FMA, there would be more yaoi and the second movie would be out. As neither is true, I must not own it. —sniffs—
Alchemical Romance:
Humankind can not gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. I still believe that is the world's one, and only, truth.
There was a time I had begun to doubt that truth. After all, look at all that I had done for you. I did as I was told and followed your orders, and for this you became more powerful. And yet, I never got anything in return but those cruel smirks and harsh words. Nothing but rejection from you. There was no equivalent exchange.
Until that day. You remember, don't you? I was yelling at you for once again giving me a false lead and false hope and you leaned over the desk and kissed me. How is it that that one kiss seemed to make up for almost all I had ever done for you? How is it that this small gesture managed to fill an empty part of me?
And then you told me you loved me. How could you have known this was all I ever wanted from you? I suddenly found myself kissing you, not caring what would come of it. I had found myself in your debt, and this was the only way I could think of repaying it to you.
I gave you my heart, and you gave me yours, and over time our two hearts have twined together as one. This must be the result of our Alchemical Romance.
I love you… Roy Mustang.
