Roy's onyx eyes fluttered opened slowly. He groaned softly, sitting up slightly in bed. He yawned softly. He sighed and stared out the window. Ed gasped, but no air filled his lungs. Just... dirt. Loads of it. He panicked, frantically trying to scoop away the soil ahead of him. He was going to die... he was sure of it. Suddenly, his hands broke the surface of the grave and he was able to pull out his torso. He choked out the soil and winced as the sunlight burned his eyes. "What... the heck... happened? He wheezed." Roy felt something wrong deep within his bones. He walked to the cemetery where Ed had been buried a month ago. Ed looked up at the figure at the gate "R-Roy!?" He cried, trying and failing to stand. Roy ran over to him.

"...E...Ed? I thought you were..."

"I-I did too..." Ed muttered. Roy pinched himself to check that he wasn't dreaming and winced slightly. Ed leaned sideways and collapsed into Roy's arms. Roy held Ed gently, cradling him in his arms. Ed shook slightly and accidentally started crying. Roy held him gently

"Shh… don't cry, hun…"

"Argh...Roy... a-are you singing my back?" Ed hissed in pain.

Roy blinked looking at Ed.

"No… I'm just holding you..."

"Something's burning it..." Ed winced. Roy blinked, looking at Ed's back.

Edward took off his jacket and vest shirt

"See anything?"

Roy gasped softly.

"Ye...Yeah...you wouldn't believe me though..."

"What is it? Just tell me. After what just happened, I'll believe anything."

"...I think you're becoming a homunculus..."

"WHAT!? Why do you think that!?"

"I'd show you if I could, Ed…"

"D-describe it..." Ed mumbled shakily.

"I don't really know how to..."

"Well... what's happening?"

"...Looks like a tattoo or something...I don't really know..."

"Uhm... okay.... what do we do?"

"...If I knew that I would have thought of it already..." Roy sighed. Edward's already soulless eyes bore into Roy

"Well I don't know either..."

Roy shivered, looking at Ed's eyes.

"What?" Ed asked, noticing Roy's uncertainty.

"Your eyes..." He muttered.

"What about them?"

"...You don't have pupils anymore..."

"Okay... that's even worse. I don't even know how this could happen. Maybe I should go see Ling?" The small blonde suggested. Roy nodded slightly, keeping silent.

Ed touched his lover's shoulder

"Don't worry... I won't be long." He promised.

He returned the next day grinning broadly

"Ling says I'm fine. It wasn't a failed transmutation, so that's why I haven't become a full homunculus." He faltered "But... I'll still look like this forever... and I won't ever look any older.... I'm sorry." He whispered. Although his eyes were empty, they still contained the same spirit that they used to have.

"At least you're able to breathe again...sort of..." Roy kissed him softly. "And I don't care what you look like I still love you..." Ed nuzzled into Roy's chest

"Thank you." He whispered. Roy held Ed gently, smiling softly.

"No problem."
