Escapable Terrors
Ever since the Ishbal Rebellion, Roy Mustang had been witness to horrific nightmares, and would wake up swearing or screaming, losing the calm, superior mask he wore during the day. He was haunted, forever waking to the faces of the slaughtered. When his best friend Maes found out what occurred during his friend's sleep, he made himself available anytime. Roy could call him any hour and Maes would be there. In the day, Maes was present, Roy encountered less of his painful dreams. Then, when the dreams had nearly ceased, Maes was gone and the nightmares returned. Many years Roy coped with these nightly visions alone, shaking with cold in a dark room. Years later, a new protector found his way into the Colonel's life. Edward Elric became the strong warrior fighting off the torturous memories. When Roy would whimper in his sleep, Ed would wrap his arms around him, softly rubbing his lover's back, coaxing away the terrors of the past. It was too painful for Roy to talk about his past with the young man, but Ed understood what he felt, as he had experienced the same after he'd lost Al's body, and Nina. Ed knew that Roy would share with him in due time. Until then, he would provide the comfort of a warm body and whispers of love throughout the night, fending off the memories. Roy was grateful for this and relished in the love and protection he received from his young lover. The dreams occurred less and less when bedtime was accompanied by Ed, until eventually, they ceased completely.
