The next day Roy woke up made breakfast and woke Ed up. Roy was wearing all black since today was the day he was going to Ed about Al's death.

Ed walked downstairs with his baggy pajamas on as usual. He sat down and saw breakfast was already on the table.

While he was eating, Roy decided now would be the best time to speak up.

"Alphonse went missing in Rezembool." Roy said. Ed automatically stopped eating. "WHAT! Then LOOK for him! Something could have happened to him dad!" Ed shouted.

"We found him." Roy said quietly. "Where is he!" Ed asked panicking.

"He is dead, Edward. I am sorry." Roy stood while saying this. "B-but…your supposed to take care of him…I trusted you with my brother's life. It wasn't mine to entrust you with, but I still did. You let my brother die." Ed said in a state of shock.

"Ed there was nothing I could do. I had a search party sent after him and I even took the liberty of researching what I could from home, but it wasn't enough. We suspect that it was a homunculus."

Ed stomped to his room slamming the door. He let the tears go then. He couldn't believe the one person he trusted did this.

Roy let Ed be alone for the rest of the day. For meal times, he took a plate of food up to Edward's bedroom door and left it there.

When he returned for dinner time the plate was there, but nothing but crumbs on it. He switched the plate out with another with some steak on it.

When he returned the plate was empty. He picked the plate up and lightly tapped on the door. "Ed you want some ice cream?" He asked softly.

In reply, Ed opened the door and held his hand. He smiled slightly. "I'm sorry for being an ass dad. I am just a little upset about what happened to Al…" He trailed off.

"Its alright Ed. When I found out I was just like this." Roy said getting the ice cream out. He gave it to Ed in a bowl because, if he gave him a cone he would get it all over himself.

"Roy I don't know what I am going to do without Al." Ed said quietly. "I know Ed. We will figure it out." Roy said. So much for being a regular teenager.


Wheeee! I FINALLY got it done! It took me like 20 minutes. Usually I am quicker than that. But I was texting my GF while I was doing this so… yeah.
