"Are you hurt?" His warm, thick voice asked gently. I merely nodded in a calm, silent response. I was sure not to raise my tearful face to the fetching man. His hands were gentle but firm, as he lifted my chin, revealing the stream of tears rolling down my tomato cheeks, dyed red from frustration. I watched as he brushed my strains of bangs out of my damp face. He kept his hand there, encrusting my left cheek perfectly. He gave me a small, friendly smile, that made me melt all over,
"Are you sure?" He added, his kindness was just too comforting, before I knew it I burst into tears once more. I felt his arms wrap around me, pulling me close. They were warm and strong, I felt so safe. I continued to cry, tears covering my face and gold hair. I could fell his hand gently run up and down my back; he pulled me closer with every soft gasp, every muffled cry. Then, out of my dreaded pain and ultimate regret I began to place all of the blame upon myself.
"I…I promised I would protect him! I promised I would get his body back! But, now…he's gone! He's gone because I couldn't protect myself!" I continued to sob, my cries sounded almost inhuman, full of suffering.
"Alphonse protected you because he wanted you to live on," I slowly rose my ashamed head to listen to his words of kindness, "he wanted you to live on. He died knowing you would do so. I know you're upset. The bottom line is…he died out of love. He saved you because he loves you. You would have done the same thing, right Edward?" I stared at him in a numbing realization. His poetic words were true, but I knew I was too naïve and stubborn to believe it. I finally gained the courage to choke out a tiny and rather insignificant,
"Y-yeah."
"Exactly. He loved you and you loved him, it's a sign of true brotherhood," He replied once more, "if there's anything I can do, don't be afraid to ask, alright?" My lips began to tremble and I barely uttered the whisper,
"Could you…could you..." My face began to blush, and I was at risk of more insignificant tears. The handsome figure seemed to be taken back, but then, a beautiful, glorious smile took it's place. He leaned in and pressed his soft lips against mine. It was a kaleidoscope of beauty. After releasing, I clutched his simple cotton shirt,
"I…I love you Roy."
"I love you too Edward."
This one is cute, most of my one-shots are sad for some reason... :/
Just a note, my deviantart is Setsuaiburninglove, so you may see fictions on that account as well as this one.
