Reasons are always simple

Just a small drabble set after the Promised Day. The Colonel has other reasons for wanting to use the philosopher's stone.

Disclaimer: The usual :p these characters don't belong to me, I'm just borrowing them for a bit of fun.

This is my first fanfic, short I know but I needed to do it before I lost my courage... constructive criticism etc is always appreciated, I'm hoping to be able to improve as a writer :)

Reasons are always simple.

Colonel Mustang had always dreamed of having her. He touches her, kisses her, reveres her, loves her. And now, miraculously, he can see her. Again. Then he remembers; he paid for this with the lives of others.

It was the only possible decision, although he is still uneasy when he thinks about it. They all wanted to atone for Ishval, but a part of him whispers, (a part too big for his liking) "you just wanted to see her again". Mustang can't deny it.

At least he knows she'll never ask, and most importantly, he'll never have to explain.
