Hello lovelies! Well, I suppose that this is my first fic in a while… My Pirates of the Caribbean fic lacked luster, so I thought I'd try my hand at an FMA fic. This is a Roy/Ed, so if you don't like, don't read. Al has been dead for about six months now, and Ed has turned to drinking to numb the pain he feels and fill the empty void in his heart. (-sniff- I'm getting all teary now) Roy confronts Ed about his drinking problem, and helps him recover. In the process, they fall in love. Yeah, doesn't sound too original, but I promise to throw a couple of wrenches in to keep things interesting ;).

Bottles of Tears on the Wall

The apartment wreaked of vomit and liquor that bathed to walls and the carpet. Broken glass was strewn about in a small living room, hazardous to anyone who tread on it barefoot in the darkness. A small, upturned coffee table lay in the center of the room, and across from it was a worn-out couch. But when one looked close enough, one would notice that a small, blond boy's body was lodged uncomfortably between the two.

Ed was drunk, very drunk, and very unconscious. He twitched slightly in his alcohol-induced sleep, possibly from another reoccurring nightmare.

"Al… I'm… coming… don't… leave me…" he mumbled.

Ed was slowly deteriorating on the inside, and he tried keep himself drunk as much as possible to numb the pain.

Of course, this numbness prevented him from noticing a dark figure let themselves into his apartment, remove his vomit stained clothes, tuck him into bed, and wish him goodnight.

A/N: Short, I know… but I just wanted to see if you all liked the idea. If you do, please, review and I'll be sure to write more!
