Warning: Spoiler for movie. LONG drabble and long ramble at the end.

Drabble 10

Train

It's been two years already. Two years since he's seen that face again.

Roy Mustang entered the train station and sat down. Now that he knew that Edward was alive, there was more hope of the boy coming back to Amestris. He didn't destroy the gate like Edward instructed him to. He didn't want to destroy the only link he had to where Ed was. If Edward destroyed the other side of the gate, then it was probably enough.

He knew that Edward was probably enjoying a peaceful life on the other side of the gate with Alphonse, but he couldn't help but wish that Edward was back here with him.

He still remembered the look Edward gave him when they last parted. Edward didn't want to leave. He understood. The Fullmetal Alchemist always gave himself responsibilities that he didn't have to carry. Now, his duty is to keep Amestris, and the people he loves, safe from a world where alchemy is not known.

But Roy still believed that little alchemist will make his way back home. Whenever he passed the train station, Roy would sit down on a bench and watch trains come and go until the last train of the day has stopped for the night. It was always the train station. He always imagined Edward to return on a train. Maybe it was because Edward's favourite form of transport was the train, and he would always meet Edward in the train station whenever the boy came back to Central after a long trip,

A train pulled into the station and Roy looked up expectantly. People poured onto the platform, but there was no gold. He sighed and looked outside. The sun was setting. Roy laughed to himself. Maybe he was too silly, believing that Edward would come back to him on a train. Maybe he should leave before he was kicked out again.

'Roy?'

Roy looked up. His eyes widened. Then, he smiled.

End
OMAKE:

Roy: Edward?

Edward: How'd you know I was here?

Roy: (smiles) Because I can read your mind.

Ed: (hugs Roy) Then why'd you look so surprised when you saw me?

Roy: Because I didn't expect to see you at eye level.

Ed: (punch) Who're callin' so short that you need a microscope in order to see him!

End of Drabble 10
AN: This one was a very long drabble. And the reason for this and the angst at the beginning is because I've just finished watching Conqueror of Shambala.

Major Spoiler ahead!

I can see why people have paired Ed up with so many people. All the hints are in the movie. Here are the hints I found for the following pairings:

Ed/Noah : This pairing didn't really stand out to me, but the hints are there. The major hint when Ed was sleeping… (If you've watched it, you know what I mean…). And time paused when Ed passed her on the rocket.

Ed/Alphonse Elric : Uh… All the 'I want to stay with brother', 'I need to find Al' and things… I just see family love there… (not Ed/Al fan)… But for Ed/Al fans : The hints are there….and boy are they huge…

Ed/Alphonse Heidrich : Very small bit in almost ending. The bit when he was saying goodbye to Ed, I don't think there are any hints for this pairing other than this.

Ed/Winry : Quite a lot, he says her name in his dream (he said Al too.. But he's family). Winry waiting for Ed, hugged him tightly the moment she saw him. Al saying to Ed 'What about Winry?' when he's leaving.

And finally……..

Roy/Ed: I'm a big Roy/Ed fan, so I personally look for all the Roy/Ed moments in the movie. Here's the list:

When Ed saw 'King Bradley', he thought that Roy was dead. He thought about the time when they last parted (cherished memory?). And the look on his face…. XD

Also, when Breda and Havoc visited Roy, once sentence made me squeal.

Breda: We should have brought Lieutenant Hawkeye with us

Havoc: She wouldn't want to see him like this. Besides, I feel that the person the Colonel (Roy) is waiting for is not the Lieutenant (Riza).

Last evidence: Roy said 'I knew you were alive.' As he watched Ed run into the ship…. And he was smiling. The only time I saw Roy smile in the movie.

The time when he met Roy again was the only time Ed allowed himself to joke.

Sorry for the giant ramble, I just had to let it out… Hope you guys don't mind!
