Summary: In another life they would've been happy
In another world, he'd be a handsome, successful, rich man.
In another world she'd be a bright, intelligent, genius student, who was popular with her class.
In another world, he'd be married to a russet eyed blonde beauty, instead of pining away for her as she slept peacefully under the earth. He'd probably have two heartbreakers for sons, who'd take after him in every way.
In another world her father would still be alive. And her mother wouldn't waste ten years of her life aching for her dead husband, while her children felt orphaned. They'd be a happy little family who went out once every month on a picnic.
In another world he wouldn't spend his nights in a drunken mess by the fire-place, taken care of by the child he was supposed to be caring for. He'd be dreaming of frivolous dreams that disappeared in the morning and never have nightmares of bloodshed, and war. He'd be jovial, well groomed and not a half dead man.
In another world she'd not spend her childhood tending a man, who was supposed to care for her. She'd be sleeping every night in a comfortable bed, instead of sitting by his bedside soothing the man. She'd be waking up refreshed like a lazy kitten. Not cramped, red eyed, stiff necked, by his empty bedside.
In another world, they might've been happy.
In another world, they probably would've never met. Lived oblivious of the other's existence.
And the illusion is tempting. Beautiful. Haunting.
Then again, in that world they wouldn't have been themselves now, would they? He would be Roy Mustang but wouldn't be Roy Mustang, and she would be Kagome Higurashi but wouldn't be Kagome Higurashi. And if they weren't themselves then who would they be?
Because these broken, lost people were who they were, who they are, and who they will always be.
And as beautiful as the illusion is, they'd rather have themselves.
And this tragedy.
A/N: Sorry this was supposed to be up a long time ago, and I forgot all about it.
