Oneshot. Something that popped up in my head during morning ride to school, and was written later, during the break.
Violet
Each one of them hated this colour.
The Colonel: Violet caused the biggest mistake in history of Amestris, which was the Ishbalan massacre. It left him scarred for life. Violet had been leading his country to destruction. Violet took away his best friend and support...
The First Lieutenant: Because of violet a person dearest to her was on the verge of dying...
Pretty blonde from peaceful village: War took her parents. The war caused by a violet-eyed Monster...
Sandy haired, peace-loving fourteen year old: Creature with violet eyes and appearance of his beloved mother brought back memories of what had been lost for ever. Memories of the guilt...
Violet brought pain, hatred, misunderstandings, betrayal, deceit and destruction. It brought feelings of guilt and even death to those, who did not deserve it at all. As an equivalent exchange it took Edward Elric's life.
Each of them hated this colour.
Each of them had their own equally important reasons.
Each of them lost someone, who could not be replaced and left a gaping hole in their lives and souls.
They hated violet with a passion.
When a year later Edward suddenly appeared on the stairs to Headquarters they changed their mind and agreed violet was probably the most beautiful colour in the world.
