Ed Elric had always considered himself a very unlucky person. His father left when he was young, his mother died shortly after, and then he ended up losing an arm, a leg, and almost lost his brother. Not to mention all the deaths and losses he had to witness helplessly throughout his journey to gain back what he could.
Hell, even in love he hadn't been so lucky. The object of his interest had been held captive for several weeks by one of the most powerful people in the country. And what's worse, she hadn't even known what was going on until she was already almost as deep into it as he was. In fact the only people he could think of that probably had as bad of luck as he was Colonel Mustang and Ling. Well, okay, not so much Ling.
But the Colonel was definitely down on his luck, having lost his sight and all as punishment for something he hadn't even done! Although he did end up getting it back…. But he had also witnessed just as many deaths as Ed had-had even been the one to kill some of them, despite his best interests. He was also down in the dumps on love. It really was quite ironic, the fact that he'd ended up falling for his Lieutenant. A woman that, not only could he not have, but he couldn't protect. Sadly, due to their rankings, it was Hawkeye's job to be two steps ahead, to be the one to take a bullet-or fire one. Instead of the other way around which Mustang obviously hoped it would be.
Well, Ling also had that problem in love. Just the thought of him trying to protect Lan Fan made him feel like bursting out in laughter. The black haired girl would surely blow a casket if he ever did. Hell, Ed was almost surprised that she hadn't made a bigger deal out of it that time she'd lost her arm. Though she probably didn't because she'd already done so much-giving up an arm and all-to keep them safe already.
Ed smiled to himself as he pulled his sleeping wife closer to his chest, her long blonde hair tickling his nose softly. He tried not to think about the Colonel and Xingenese Emperor who were both probably either sneaking out of their loves' rooms while the girls slept or sleeping on their own, cold, half empty mattress, wishing to have that their body guards were curled up against them like him and his mechanic.
Maybe he wasn't so unlucky, after all.
