So, this was inspired when watching the AMV's for the songs by the Kagamines and it kinda hit me. Edward looks kinda like Len, and Winry, well she looks like Rin. Now, being me I figured, eh, this will pass, but low and behold, it didn't, and so the first of about five oneshots was born. This was one of the first, and so I hope you enjoy and will comment.
I dont own anything, I'm already aware of this, kindly dont comment for the sole reason of saying "You dont own the rights to the song or the anime" because I already know I own nothing! NOTHING!
Enjoy!
A time ago in a sorrowful place, a lonely prisoner, Edward he had once been called, fell for a girl. Though the barrier he could see her and his heart would beat, oh would it ever beat, and only for her.
Oh how long had it been since his freedom had been taken away, far too long. He had shackles on his ankles and his clothes were dirty and torn. His long hair tied back in a ponytail was dirty and messy. So long he had been locked away, all the while fearing the pain that always came, and the pain he knew would one day come. It had been the life he had known, and even though he knew not all people lived like this, when he saw the beautiful girl he couldn't help but see the big difference magnified before his eyes, making it all seem true.
However Edward decided to take a chance. He stole a single piece of paper and a pencil and wrote the girl a letter, telling her that he thought she was very beautiful and how, even though he could no actually speak to her, he wished she would write back. When he was done he folded it into a paper plane, surprised he could remember how after so long, and then snuck outside and threw it over the electric wire fence, hoping it would somehow fly through the air and reach the beautiful girl
'Ah, if I could only get away from this cold and dark filled place,' he wished as he closed his eyes, but inside he he knew it was all a lie, and he would never escape.
He went back inside and wrote another note, in case she answered. On it he wrote;
'Every time that I see you all my worries disappear, I believe all the good things out there could just be true. Please come near I just want to have a decent talk with you do then so maybe then you can see how much the distance hurts my heart.'
He went out the next day and watched for the girl to walk by as she always did, and saw her pause at his little paper airplane and pick it up, slowly unfolding it and then read it.
Edward watched from his side of the barrier, hoping she would turn around but was upset when he saw his happiness leave him as she walked away.
But the next day when he watched the girl walk by she stopped in front of him and threw a little paper airplane over the fence. Edward ran to catch it and when he did the girl clapped happily and Edward opened it and read the letter. She told him that she wanted to be friends and that even though they were on different sides of the fence, they could always talk like this, making airplanes that soared through the air.
Edward threw his second plane over the fence and watched the girl with the beautiful dress run to catch it as he had done and she smiled sadly as she read it. Over the next few days and months the two children wrote and sent airplanes over the fence, and Edward finally felt a happiness he had not felt in a long time; a release, as though he had been freed from this horrible place. Every letter he received from her he kept, carefully hidden away,
One day he began writing a very special letter, one telling her that he loved her very much, and that he wished to know her name. The letter told her that even thought they could not be together now, maybe one day they would, and how she changed his whole world just by coming by everyday like she did and how she seemed to make the darkness fade away. He told her that it was her letters that got him through the darkest times of his life, and that they were his everything. When he was done he picked up the letter and held it close to his heart, anxiously awaiting the next day when he would send it over the fence.
But the next day when he went put there, plane in tow, he found that the girl was already standing there, and as he approached the fence, she threw the plane over. She looked even more fragile and distant then she usually did but the plane still soared through the air into Edwards hands. He opened the letter and read it, horrified as he read the words saying she would never again return here and that this was goodbye.
Goodbye.
He read that word over and over
No. It couldn't be goodbye, because if it was goodbye it meant he would go back to living in this place of agony with nothing to hold on to. The pain seemed to burst out from inside him as he fell to his knees, crying like he had never cried before as he watched her leave him, his tears refusing to stop as he called out to her.
"Every time that I see you I just can't help but to smile, despite any sort of fate the future has in store for me. All those days that passed and I still do not even have your name, I can't help but to imagine a bright future where you are. I can't call out to you and I can't follow you. I can't get out of here and I can't do anything now!" he cried out, but the girl didn't so much as pause and she continued on, back to her perfect world.
Edward read the words on the paper he never sent before going back to his dank room much later that evening as he had spent much of the day in front of the fence. He spread the paper planes she had sent him out on the floor and lay down on them, imagining he could feel the love of which they surely had been written with. He clutched the letter he never sent close to him as he slept, but was rudely awoken by the man who kept him trapped there. The man took the letter Edward was holding and read it, his eyes flashing dangerously as he told two other men to hold Edward back so he could not get away. He sneered at Edward and tore his heart-felt words into pieces right in front of him.
Edward began screaming obscenities at the man and broke free of the other men's grasps, running forward and punching the glasses-clad man in the jaw. "bastard!" he shouted, "you bastard!" a man grabbed the shouting teen from behind as Edward continued to fight, "you can't do this!" he yelled at the laughing men, "you can't!"
Two other men wearing masks came and took Edward and lead him into the basement room of the prison house. Edward could do nothing. It had always been inevitable that one day his time would come, and after all this time he had spent with the girl he had no regrets at all. But as they locked him in the room and the room filled with the poisonous gas, his mind began screaming at him that he wanted to live some more, and wanted to spend more time with her. He was no longer filled with confused feelings like he had been when he first saw her, no, his heart now knew what he wanted from the world, and what it wanted was to see the girl once more.
He cried as he tried to escape the darkness, but it was futile. No one could escape, and he was going to die.
He thought about her, and wished that if they could, they could go back to the time they once shared, he remembered them now, so clearly yet they didn't linger, it was like quick sudden flashed of light where he could see her smiling at him. His emotions. Her emotions. They had all been written out in many words and folded into paper planes and it was her words that were the only thing that kept him going through the darkest times. He imagined how she had come, like a beautiful flower blooming amongst a field of dirty weeds, standing out from them all she had come. Even though they had lived in two completely different worlds, her being free and him trapped, he still tried to take a chance and reach out to her.
He lay on the cold ground to try and avoid the gas but it became apparent that that too was futile. His heartbeat began to change from its regular rhythm, beating slowly and irregularly and he knew his final moment was drawing near. "please," he whispered, "can't you just let me talk to her one last final time?" it was in that chamber filled with darkness where his life would end, and he would die alone, yet it wasn't so much that fact that upset him right then, it was that he never once got her name.
His screams echoed loudly in the stone chamber but no one was around to hear them. "There's hurting in my chest, and I can hardly breathe! I just want to know one simple little thing-" the gas began to overpower him, but he forced himself to scream out his final three words as loudly as he could
"Just your na...me...!"
So, there is the first part of the five little bits, the next one will be for the companion song of this one. I'd love to hear your thoughts and hopefully I'll post a new chapter soon.
Oh yeah, just finished the Sacred Star of Milos; Mind. Freaking. Blown. I couldn't believe it! I loved it so freaking much! Although it certainly could have done with a bit more Ed/Win Fluffles. Ah well, still an amazing movie!
Anyway, Talk to you laters, in the meantime, love to hear your thoughts.
