Memories

Edward felt safe with Roy. The nightmares that sometimes plagued him disappeared whenever he was in the arms of his love. Roy was his sancutary, plain and simple. There was only one problem with their relationship... Roy was getting older. Edward, when he first noticed, was shocked to see gray hair on Roy's head. The older man had just laughed when Edward had told him.

"It's not like I can stay young forever, Ed." he'd replied with a chuckle. His onyx eyes had shined with something odd that day, but Edward had ignored it. Instead he had held Roy close, enjoying their time together. Since then, Edward had made it his duty to remember every moment that he spent with Roy. Everything was now precious to him. In the years following Edward's discovery, Roy seemed to get older and older a lot quicker than the young blonde remembered.

Something in Edward hurt whenever he glanced at the sleeping man. To see one who was so strong slowly become old and weary was tearing him a part. His sancutary was crumbling around him and he could do nothing to stop it. What Edward didn't know was that it hurt Roy as well. He couldn't do his best for the Military, his friends, or even his lover anymore.

Onyx eyes darkened as their owner looked down at the sleeping body leaning against his own. Edward was still young, at least when he was compared to him. Roy sighed as he ran his hand over Ed's cheek, a flood of memories overcoming him. As the memories washed over him in waves, he was reminded of a few things that he would never forget. Like their first kiss in his office on a sunny day or the time that he'd chased Edward up and down the halls of his house time and time again.

These were the things that were burned into his memory.

"I love you, Edward..." he whispered softly to the sleeping young blonde, and for the first time in a long time... Roy Mustang truly felt at peace.
