Hey guys, remember me?

Ok, its only been a day since I last posted but many apologies.

I thought I would wait until I wrote two chapters until I next posted an update, but I was out all day today so I thought I would just update with what I had. Not my best work but I hope you enjoy.

Roy Mustang looked at the sleeping boy on the seat across from him. He was wrapped snugly in his usual red attire, chest rising and falling peacefully. They had been travelling for just half an hour and Ed was out like a light. It was the first time the colonel had seen him sleep. He noticed how vulnerable and childish he looked. In all truth, he was hardly a child.

Roy had seen him grow from a twelve year old youngster to a rebellious 18 year old. He chuckled softly to himself. Rebel.

'Yeah, that's definitely Ed'

Still gazing at the young alchemist, a smile crept across his lips. Whoever knew the great Edward Elric could look so peaceful. The colonel definitely preferred the quieter side of Ed.

"Alfons..."

Roy turned his head back to the 'Hero of the people'.

"Nuuhh..." Ed began to groan and fidget restlessly, his brow furrowing.

"Ed?"

Edward's Dream

Ed ran through the streets of Berlin, without stopping once to look behind him. The screams of women and children echoed in his ears, pleading to be spared. Crying desperately. His lungs felt tight, but he had to keep going. He stopped.

All he could see was a puddle of crimson, flowing down the cobbled street. Freshly bombed streets in pieces, the strong flames consuming the ruins. There was a scream, which made the back of his neck stand on end. The footsteps behind him came to a halt. He was seized by the shoulder. Everything was shrouded in darkness.

"Edward!"

He jerked forward and let out a strangled cry. Shaking like a leaf, Ed collapsed back in his seat and looked up. He was surprised to find Mustang's gloved hands grasping his shoulders and blushed furiously. He looked up, small golden eyes met with dark narrowed ones, that looked filled with worry.

"You ok Ed?"

"I'm fine!" Ed insisted. Mustang frowned.

"Were you having a nightmare?"

There was a pause.

"No..."

They both knew this was a very unconvincing lie. The colonel smirked triumphantly and continued to admire the view.

"Ed... do you ever show weakness? It's nothing to be ashamed of, it happens to all of us"

"I TOLD YOU IM FINE!"

He was still shaking, but chose to ignore it.

"You know..." Ed looked across at Roy.

"Talking about it... might make you feel better..."

"I told you dammit! IM FINE!"

The blonde hastily covered his mouth. He said that a little louder than he had intended to.

"I'm sorry, I just-"

"You don't trust me? Is that it?"

"Of course I do! I..."

Ed's gaze turned back to the window.

"I just... don't wanna talk about it..." he mumbled, barely loud enough for the colonel to hear.

"Come on FullMetal, this is our stop, we'll talk about this later"

Edward dragged his feet across the platform and sighed.

'Back to the FullMetal again huh?'

He felt disappointment well up inside of him, a strange mixture of hope and sadness. So much was racing through his mind right now.

As the two alchemists walked through the city of Ishbal an uncomfortable silence accompanied them both. Ed wanted to say so much. The colonel in question spoke, saving Ed from talking with the lump forming in his throat.

"Inns this way"

Thank you so much to all those who have reviewed and subscribed! I can't thank you enough! Next chapter will be tomorrow or the day after.
