Two Roads
Why am I writing this letter, you ask? One word: closure. You're gone, Ed. I can live with that. Or at least that's what I tell myself. You've gone your way, and I've gone mine. Two different roads. You finally went where I can't follow. Why?
You promised me when we were young that you would never make me cry. You have no idea how many times I've cried because of you. I just wanted you to stay with me in Risembool. That's all I've ever wanted. But I knew you couldn't stay. You'd made up your mind to join the military. And, the thing I learned about you is how stubborn you can be, and how once you've made up your mind, no one can change it. I'd kind of hoped I'd be the first to be able to change your mind. That didn't happen.
You'd be heading out some place dangerous, and I'd call out to you, "Don't go! Don't go!" You never stayed, but I always saw you hesitate as you left. Did you want to stay by my side as much as I did? There's so many more questions I wish I could ask you, but I guess now I can't.
I'd like to think that even though our paths have diverged, there may be a point somewhere down the road where they eventually meet. Will you wait for me there? I know you're inclined to roam most of the time, but wait for me. Okay? I guess that for now, I have to move forward like you always taught me to. But remember this, Edward Elric, even if we're apart… I'll always be with you…
Probably the shortest fic I've ever written. I hated the way the movie ended. It needed so much more EdXWinry. I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist.
