Royai week day one- Firsts: First Side-by-Side Battle
This was the first real time they were on the battle field together. Sure, they had been fighting together in Ishval, but this time it was different. It wasn't if he didn't notice her presence in Ishval. No, that certainly wasn't it. Her presence was one of the major reasons he rarely slept during the war. The fact that he had brought her into war was one of many things he had thrown onto his pile of regrets and guilts. Each day he feared for her life. Yes, they had fought together before but this time it was different. This time, rather than being another set of soldiers except with particularly deep ties, they were subordinates who happened to have particularly deep ties.
Roy would have never pictured them here a few years back if he had been asked to envision their future; he would have only seen himself. The fact that he had brought her into this killed him, figuratively speaking of course. If he died, the reason she was here would be in vain as his dream would die with him. So he would keep going, no matter how much he hated it. He would make sure their first battle together was not their last.
