"Sir, wheres Edward today?" Riza asked setting a new pile of folders in front of Roy.
"He wasn't feeling well, so I let him stay home" said Roy flipping through the pages mindlessly.
A soft drizzle hit the windows of the office,making the room chilled. Roy had a small ball of worry forming in his gut, for Edward. Roy hadn't noticed till the third boom of ground shaking thunder he should probably go home.
"Riza, I need to go" said Roy getting up right away.
"Sir you have to finish your papers" said Riza annoyed.
"No, Riza I really need to go" said Roy.
With out another arugment he left the office, not even leaving time for Riza to start one.
Roy pracitcally ran to his car, being careful not to slip, he hopped in the car slamming the door shut. Clothes damp with salty rain.
He jammed the key into the ignition and drove as fast as he could to the outskirts of town where his little house stood.
He got out and bolted up to the front steps, the door was locked. Roy groaned searching his pockets for his house key, getting wetter by the seconed.
He finally found it and burst open the door.
"Edward?" called Roy a bit more frantically than intended. No answer. So Roy began to look n usual spots.
He checked the hallway closet and under the kitchen table. He checked under his desk in the living room and in the bathroom in the shower. The thunder boomed louder and Roy checked Eds room. It was messy as usaual, there was a pill bottle left open o his dresser a few pills lay beside it. The sheets were crumpled and the bathroom light was left on.
"Ed" Roy tried again, there was a small faint whimper. Roy walked down the hallway, and opened the door to his room, it had been destroyed just like Eds was. Another pill bottle lay beside Roys be and there was a giant lump moving in the sheets.
"Ed?" asked Roy peeling back the sheets Ed managed to tangle himself in.
"Owwww" whined Ed softly as Roy sat on the edge soft bed. The sky cracked and lighting bolted down and Ed pulled the blankets over his head.
"Ed" roy chuckled softly and tried to pull the blankets back but Ed was shaking and gripping them too tight.
"Come on Ed, " said Roy softly as Ed let go of the sheets. Roy peeled them back to se he had begun to cry.
"I dont, like storms" said Ed shaking vilonetly like a leaf in the wind.
"Ed how much medicine did you take?" asked Roy picking up the pill bottles. Ed shrugged and Roy placed the bottle back on its night stand.
"Come on, is the storm all thats botherig you?" asked Roy.
"My ports are aching, i erm, had a bad dream" said Ed quietly it boomed again and he gasped and clasped his hands over his ears.
"Want me to lay with you" he asked. Ed nodded opening up the sheets and roy crawled in as Ed cuddled into him.
"Your really cold" mentioned the black haired man. Ed nodded and ran his hand over the colonels neck.
"an you wet?" he asked.
"Yea, i left work so i could be with you" said Roy running his hands through the blonds hair. He was still shaking.
Roy chuckled and said
"Ed relax, its fine. WHat are yu so worried about" asked Roy. Ed closed hsi eyes tighter when thunder boomed and tears bordered his eye lash line.
"Ed, please dont cry" said Roy putting his hnd on the teens pale face.
"I, I'm sorry Roy" said Ed burried his face in he mans chest and shook.
" Dont, be im just worrie about you is all." He began to rub Eds ports and Ed moaned.
"That feels, really great" said Ed wrapping hs arm around Roys waist.
"They hurt that bad huh?" he asked. Ed nodded and Roy began t sing a soft song they liked to listen to together.
It was their song.
(AN: This is call Rythm of Love, by plain white t's! 3 I modified it to fit hte storys ok! It helps to listen to it as your read it=])
My head is stuck in the clouds
he begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told him "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
Ed sighed and listened to the smooth voice, comforting him and soothing his pain.
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
Roy held Ed closer making sure he was comfortable and relaxed before he placed a soft kiss on the teens forehead.
A beautiful song should be sung
he's got gold eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when he's laughing at me
he rises up like the tide
The moment his lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
The thunder probably cracked the hard, as loud as it boomed making teas spill over the brim of Eds sore tired eyes. Roy sung softly ino his ear wiping away Eds tears away with his warm hands.
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba
da da da dum
da da dum
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba
da da da dum
da da dum
Ed giggled at the funny improv Roy did, trying to remember the lyrics of the song. He smiled a small comforting smile that made Roy know he was calming down.
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love.
Ed smiled staring into his lovers eyes holding his hand.
"Now, how do you plan to become furher if your such a softie?" asked Ed.
Roy chuckled and said,
"I'm only this way with you Ed"
Ed blushed and they fell asleep in he bed, ignroing the small sounds of the storm outside the arm bedroom.
The next morning Roy woke up to see that the teen who had fallen asleep next to him was not there.
He got up pulling off his uniform he had fallen asleep in and pulled on sweat pants and a tank top.
He smelt bacon in the kitchen so he walked that way. He walked into to see Ed swaying his hips infront of the stove as he poured bacon on to a plate. He ung along to 'their song'
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love.
Ed noticed Roy in the doorway and froze and blushed.
"Oh! Hi, Roy" said Ed blushing deep red.
Roy smiled tangling his arms around his young lovers waist and brought him up for a kiss.
Roy pulled away smiling the brush sprinkled across the blondes cheeks.
"Your just too adorable!" exclaimed Roy taking hs breakfast and sat at the table.
"Yea, well i cant help it" said Ed sitting next to him.
As if nothing had happened last night, the two were back to normal living their lives again.
All you can do is move on, after all.
