How could he be so damn collected?
I would have thought it impossible for even the former Colonel Bastard to be capable of standing in front this many people and act as if he hadn't just crushed someone's spirit.
Guess I was wrong.
It was absolutely nothing for him to stroll into the bedroom we've shared for the past two years as I was getting dressed in a monkey suit I hated, to go to a banquet in honor of him becoming Führer and say, "I'm going to make this short and simple. We both knew this wasn't going to last forever and tonight is as good as any night to call it quits."
Words failed me as the tie I couldn't knot slipped through my fingers and crumpled to the floor.
"Let's not be dramatic about it Fullmetal, we have a banquet to go to after all," he said as he checked his appearance in the mirror once more.
"What?" It was all I could manage.
"I said we have a ban…"
"I heard what you said you conceited shit, I just can't believe it."
"You didn't really think the Führer would be content to spend the rest of his life with you did you?"
I didn't even respond I simply walked out of the room and out of the house into the night.
I made it to the damn banquet just as he took the stage to make his speech. I wanted to see if he could tell the country of his greatness as I stood in the back glaring daggers at him.
As it turns out, he could.
He finished his speech to a standing ovation. He mingled with the guests and even walked right past me as if I were nothing more than another stranger on the street.
My heart was breaking and I was the only one who gave a damn.
