He Prayed
He paced restlessly. 'How to do it?' He gazed around the room he shared with his chibi blonde lover. 'Should I go romantic or simple?' He thought of all the memories contained in this room. 'And when? At night, at dinner, in the morning?' He thought of Ed, of the way he reacted to the smallest things. 'And where? Out to dinner, at work, on vacation, in the house?' He walked out of the room and down the stairs toward the clanging of pots and pans coming from the kitchen where his blonde chibi was. He pushed open the swinging door and stood in the doorway watching him scurrying back and forth, his braid swinging behind him.
"Hey." Ed stopped and spun around to face him.
"Hey." He walked toward his chibi, who was just standing there, staring at him. He could understand why he was shocked. He never intruded in the kitchen when Ed was making dinner. He knelt in front of him and pulled a small black box from his pocket and asked, "Edward Elric, will you marry me?" The blonde looked down on him speechlessly. His braid was coming undone, there was flour on his cheek, and there were tears in his eyes, but he had never looked more beautiful. As he waited for the words that would decide his future, Roy Mustang did something he hadn't done since the war, he prayed.
All Ed could do was dumbly nod 'yes' because those four words had robbed him of his ability to speak. Tears of joy were streaming down his face as he wordlessly threw himself into Roy's arms. 'This is were he truly belonged' he mused. 'In Roy's arms, forever.' For the first time since his mother died, he prayed.
