Prompt: "One is silver and the other, gold."
Parings: Roy/Ed
Word Count: 305
I. Silver
He was silver; sharp and calculating and precise. Mathematical equations and transmutation circles. White chalk dust and the creak of moving armor. He was the cold metallic sheen of automail, the sharp skid of blade on blade. A warm heart within an icy exterior. He was a white shaft of light, perfectly focused, intent, unwavering, and driven. He was slightly tarnished, his sins leaving visible mars, but the core still strong, unwavering. He was silver.
II. Gold
He was gold; hot and bright and explosive. Bursts of fire and the fleeting sheen of sunlight. Red embroidery thread and the particular crack of gunshots. He was an impulsive liquid tide, ferocious and unstoppable and sometimes something less than human. On the outside, he shone; loud and extravagant, drawing all to him, but the image was etched in something much softer, something easily impressed and marred and blemished. He was gold.
III. Harmony
They were silver and gold, both bright, both precious and glorious and good, and both shaped by the driving hammer of their experiences, actions, and sins.
They were silver and gold. Next to each other, they clashed; visible opposites; small, bright, Ed, and tall, dark Roy.
They were silver and gold, and though they clashed, when brought together by heat and sweat and passionate desire, they lost their hard, metallic shells and became two similar elements lost in a sea of fear and sins and love and secrecy.
They were silver and gold, and though they clashed, when they were melted together, bodies intertwined and all boundaries blurred, energy spent, they became something more than just silver and gold, something different and beautiful and perfect.
During the day, they were silver and gold, almost opposites, forced together by their similarities and bound by certain, invisible ties; but during those hot, secret nights they were something all their own.
A/N: So this is a oneshot I randomly came up with a while ago. It's my first RoyEd. I'm not sure I came out like I wanted. Anyone have any suggestions/ feedback?
