Chapter One:
Into A Nightmare
Edward was sitting at the bar, alone. Twirling the glass with the amber liquid inside.
He had lost count of how many glasses he had.
The blonde rested his head on his automail palm, trying to get his head to stop spinning.
His head continued to spin, his eye sight was blurry. But still, Edward could sense the other familiar presence in the room.
"Roy?" The blonde's voice was completely emotionless. Even after all the alcohol.
"Edward? How many glasses have you had?"
"I don't know. But while you're here, I need to tell you something." He paused, making a motion with his left arm to come near him. "Sit down Roy."
Roy sat down at the bar stool, opposite of the one Edward had claimed.
"What did you need to tell me?"
Edward's face was impassive. There was no emotion showing through the mask he was wearing.
"I wanted to tell you that, I had a dream. And I'm not talking about restoring Al's and I's bodies. No, this was a different dream of mine."
The raven haired man seemed cautious to answer, but he did anyway. "What was... your dream...?"
Edward wore a faint smile. But it wasn't a happy smile. It was sad. The smile of remembering something from the distant past, something that wasn't there. Remembering something that would never be there again. His dream.
"My dream? I'll tell you, Mustang. My dream was us. You and me."
The colonel was shocked to say the least... But he couldn't help but wonder... Why had Edward said had a dream instead of has a dream..?
"But my dream became a nightmare. This isn't what I wanted."
"W-what do you mean?"
The teen sighed. "I wanted us to be happy. I wanted us to last forever. That was my dream. I wanted to be yours, and I wanted you to be mine..."
Edward paused. "But I guess not all dreams can come true..."
"Edward? What are you talking about?! All those things are true now! I am... happy. We will... last... forever. You will be mine... and... I will be... yours."
The blonde gave a sad laugh. "Then why did you hesitate so much?"
It sounded like he already knew the answer, but just wanted to see what Roy would say.
"Uh, what are you talking about? I... didn't... hesitate..."
"Don't lie Roy. You've lied to me enough as it is." Edward voice continued to hold no emotion.
"I haven't lied about anything!" Roy desperately tried to defend himself, but to no avail.
"Mustang. I'm not stupid. You damn well know that. You act like I can't see you strolling through the streets with some bimbo hanging on your arm."
Roy was at a loss for words. He didn't mean for the teen to see... really he didn't... but he had a reputation to uphold... He didn't mean to hurt Edward...
"See, you can't even deny it." The same emotionless voice...
Edward stood up, impressively holding himself together considering that, he just drank a lot of strong alcohol and also, for the fact that Roy had just proven his point that Roy was cheating on him.
Edward continued. "I just thought you should know, Mustang... that I had a dream... for us..."
The blonde tried to make his way to the door, but a gloved hand on his wrist stopped him.
"Why?" Roy's voice was somber and quiet.
"Why? That's a stupid question. I'm not just going to be here whenever you want. You either commit to me, or you don't get me. I'm not going to be your fucking boy-toy."
Roy protested pathetically. "But..."
"No buts, Mustang. This has gone on long enough."
He was at the threshold of the door, and without looking back he said over his shoulder.
"I had a dream, Roy. And you crushed it. There's no going back..."
Roy stared at the blonde that was walking away from him, further out of his grasp.
"I had a dream, Roy. And I got over it. Just like I got over you."
The words echoed down the Central streets. Roy didn't try to find the owner of the words.
"I had a dream. And it turned into a nightmare."
++IMPORTANT!++ Don't like the (kinda) sad ending? Tell me, and I might just make it go longer... Unless you like this ending, then I'll leave it how it is. It's up to you!
