The First Time I Heard His Voice

by Hats and Fuzzie Socks

Drabble. Riza's thoughts on Ed's appearance on the platform in Central at the end of Episode 5. No pairing.

I think the tone of this is kinda weird. I don't know, just warning you, it seems really retrospective (Is that the right word?).

When Ed first arrived at Central, I knew it was him. I recognized the blonde hair and golden eyes, but honestly, I thought he was a figment of my imagination. In my mind, there was no way the shattered soul we'd met months earlier in Rizenbool could possible be the young man standing on the platform. The images just didn't match up.

'Roy knew this would happen.' I remember thinking as we turned away from the brothers. And, I had a sudden realization in that moment; Roy was smirking because his plans were coming together.

Then, Edward shouted at us, and it was the first time I heard his voice. Mere moments after I heard it, I decided that –

It suits him.

So 124 words isn't bad for a drabble.

If you think it weird, drop me a line.
