--------------------------------------------------------------------
Two hundred miles away from home.
Two hundred miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs.
But you don't care at all
You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs, oh my lungs.
"I hate these goddamned missions Colonel Bastard sends us on." Edward complained. "This place is too far away. Damn it. He couldn't even loan us a military car."
"Brother..." Al attempted to calm Edward down.
"And the air is too goddamn humid. I feel like I can't breathe. I'm drowning in fucking HUMIDITY!"
"Brother, you know it's scientifically impossible to drown on air..." Al sighed. "Let's just get this mission over with."
You demand to be chased for your love.
My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long.
But you don't care at all.
There's nothing I can do to draw you close to me.
Edward slammed the report on Roy Mustang's desk.
"Happy, Bastard?? I've successfully completed the most useless mission you've ever sent me on. I walk all that way, and the city turns out to be the myth you suspected it was. Congratulations!"
"Whom am I speaking to?" Roy made an overdramatic exercise out of standing up and leaning over his desk to look down at Edward.
Just then, the phone ran. As Roy picked up, Edward launched into his rant: "WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE COULDN'T BE SEEN OVER A SPLINTER OF WOOD??"
"Fullmetal! I'm on the phone!" Roy snapped at Edward, before returning to his phone call. "Yes, darling, I'll pick you up tonight at seven..."
It was obvious to Edward that Roy was talking to a woman. He felt distant as Roy ignored him to talk on the phone.
Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again?
I've been trying to ignore the best part of you.
But I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow, somehow.
"...Okay, love, we'll go there. It does seem the most romantic." Roy finally finished up his phone conversation. Edward gagged.
"Gah-ross. I didn't know you were the mushy type, Mustang." Edward said to explain his reason for gagging.
"Why do you think all those woman want me?"
"Because of your good looks." Edward blurted, and then turned bright red. "I mean... that's what you claim."
"Well, there's that too..." Roy acknowledged.
"Bastard, keep your ego in check." Edward said. 'So that you'll never guess who else wants you besides these women.' He thought silently.
Please be home tonight.
I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right.
I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel,
Every time you're here.
"I'm going for a walk, Al. You should stay here." Edward said to Al, who was too preoccupied with their latest cat to notice. Edward scribbled a note to make sure that Al knew where he was.
Edward shut the motel room door quietly behind him.
He walked in a daze, and soon found himself at the home of Roy Mustang.
He walked up to the door and knocked. No answer. Of course not; Roy was on that date that Edward over heard about today.
"Damn it. I need to tell him. I need to." Edward muttered. He settled for telling Roy Mustang's door: "I'm in love with your owner. I can't stop thinking about him."
A car door shut behind him. "Edward?"
What would it take for me to be with you?
I swear I'd rip my heart out if you said you'd be impressed, please be impressed.
I'd go so far to please you but I bet you wouldn't care at all, oh at all.
Edward turned bright red and face the house's owner.
"Mustang..." He trailed off.
"Why are you talking to my door?" Roy asked and Edward turned even redder.
"Uh...I...So, why aren't you still on that date?"
"No spark." Roy sighed. "Oh well, there's always tomorrow night's date."
'I wish I was tomorrow night's date. I'd do anything to be your date...' Edward thought miserably, but let it go. As if Roy would date him.
"Anyways...my door?" Roy asked, but Edward ignored his question once again.
"I have to go." He said and took off in a run.
Hopeless love, please leave me.
'Why do I have to love a womanizing bastard?'
This broken heart is far too weak to run for you this long.
'He's straight, and he makes it obvious.'
Why don't you care at all?
'Does he know of my feelings, I wonder?'
I'm dying for a place in your heart.
'If only I could tell him. If only I could have him.' Edward let out a little sob because he knew it could never happen.
Edward arrived at a bridge and leaned over the side, deep in thought.
Hopeless love, why did you carve your home in me?
He wished he didn't have to love a womanizer.
This broken heart is too weak to hold your weight.
A man who called him small every time he saw the teen, just to make him angry.
And now I regret the day we met.
If only he had never met such a man.
And help me forget your name.
If only he could let himself forget him. Tears joined the river running below the bridge.
