YO! I'm still alive, I guess. This is gonna be one of many oneshots with topics coming from my head. Imma do all the animes that I know of so yeah.

This first one is on Roy and Ed. A little Al, but he's in there, nevertheless. R&R =)

If I owned this, there would be worse things.

I'm falling, falling into the darkness.

Soon, I will lose myself in that void.

If people really cared about me,

Who would dive in?

Who would embrace me

And save me from the darkest of nights?

Edward and Alphonse (armor) Elric were sitting causally in the sitting room of their quarters, in Central. Such silence left Ed moody, and thinking of things that should be left for later.

"Hey Al?"

"Yeah. Nii- san?"

"I was just t – " Suddenly the lights sputtered and went out.

"Nii-san...NII-SAN!" His armor started squeaking as he lifted his body and whisked his head around. No wait... Calm down... I'm sure he'll be fine here. I'll go out to see if they need any help to get the lights on. When Alphonse closed the door, rather roughly, Ed started to whimper from under the table.

The dark. He was scared of the dark. Especially when the light bled through the shadows, revealing that someone or something was there.

Like now. Light was pouring in from the crack of the door to the hallway. Edward started to shake as the the knob's mechanisms were tensing.

Suddenly, the door was thrust open. Ed gave a little yelp and covered his eyes.

"Fullmetal?" A low voice spoke softly.

"Colonel," the blond whispered, fear still racking his body, "Mustang?"

"Yeah. It's me. What are you doing?"

"Hurry!" Boots thumped on the floor, out of rhythm, as the colonel tried to find the blonde boy. Light flashed around the room. Mustang got to the table and shined the light under.

His golden eyes were streaked with terror. Ed's small frame was curled up, his small hands were covering his ears. His body shook violently with fear.

Roy sighed and bent his knees. "Are you planning to stay like that forever?" He slowly held out one of his gloved hands.

Tears burst from the blonde's eyes as he knocked over the colonel. He wrapped his arms around his waist. Ed closed his eyes as he snuggled into Mustang's chest.

The colonel smirked to the darkness. "Afraid of the dark?"

"Yeah," came the small reply. Roy turned out the light and set it on the ground. He returned the embrace tenderly. Only then, did Edward loosen his arms around his colonel's waist. They just stayed like that, oblivious to the times yet to come.

A flicker of light snapped Roy out of his comfort zone. A few sputters later, light illuminated the entire room. "Nii-san!" Alphonse nearly broke the door to smithereens, trying to get in.

"Shh..." The Colonel Mustang held a single finger to his lips. Al suddenly stopped. For when he stood up, there was a sleeping boy, cradled in his arms.
