Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. Gods, I don't even own anything FMA related, except my Parental Roy fanart.
A/N: For some reason, I love the word 'Reverse'. So this is going to be a seven-shot. One colour described through the eyes of one character. So here's the first: Roy for Red!
Reverse Rainbow
Red
Red was a bright colour, energetic and passionate and dangerous. It was an eyesore when looked at for too long, and yet it managed to add a splash of brilliance to the drab and dull.
Red was the colour of Fullmetal's coat, worn over simple black.
Roy would be lying if he said he hated Fullmetal's scarlet coat. Yes, it was sometimes annoying, like the teen who wore it, but it was also a new breath of life, again like the young alchemist.
Sometimes, Roy thought Edward understood the symbolism and wore that particular coat for that reason.
Amidst dark shades of blue, Edward was the one light – not at all innocent, yet sticking firmly to his own ideals and truly hoping to right his wrongs. Unlike the battle-scarred, weary fighters around him, Edward had never felt the helplessness that came from following ruthless orders and fighting a war.
And that was why Roy never had the heart to order the boy to wear his military uniform. It would put the boy in the background, and that brilliant red Roy had come to enjoy would disappear.
He wished Edward never had to leave the military.
A/N: Next is Orange, to be posted tomorrow! Hope you liked it.
