In honor of the ending of this fic, I will do the disclaimer myself this time without getting injured! HAZA!

Epilogue
"Now why did you run off without asking for my help first?"
Edward glared at the Colonel, ignoring the question as burning gold eyes burned into black. The older Elric was standing protectively in front of his suit of armor brother, a wall of rock behind their backs and blocking their only escape.
Mustang stood before them, along with a few of his subordinates such as Hawkeye. Havoc and Feury had been grazed by a bullet that had ricocheted off Edward's hand, so they were recovering. Mustang had also been grazed by a bullet, not an actual bullet, but one that struck him down anyways. Edward had said he had forgiven him, had told him he trusted him, then why did he run off?
A little boy, slumped in the white snow. He wailed frantically, clawing with one hand through the ice for his brother and a stone which was not there.
Edward only glared harder as the obsidian eyes soften slightly, mixing from determination and anger to simple disbelief, yet the Colonel's face stayed set in stone with an infuriated frown. Ed too harbored a bit of guilt. He remembered that he had trusted the man before him with his life, and he had told the same man that he would trust him with anything. Yet, he never told him about what happened in Liore, never told him about his younger brother becoming the Philosopher's Stone; he had never had the time to.
A tall man struggled through the whiteness, screaming a name over and over again with worry that only a parent held for their child.
"Answer me Fullmetal!"
Ed did not answer, simply turning away as his golden eyed mask of anger and fury fell. It was replaced with guilt, and nostalgia. He wished everything could go back to that time, way when he was just newly in the military, before he knew of the secret ingredient and the pain that came with the Philosopher's Stone.
The same stone that he had reached through, all those years ago as he foolishly ran out into the snow.
Gold eyes meeting his.
Roy tried not to let his mask fall as he glared right into Edward's gold eyes.
Black eyes staring straight at him.
Edward never faltered, though inside the ice was breaking away bit by bit as he glared into the eyes of the man he held so much respect for.
"I'm sorry Edward, I'm so sorry."
"I forgive you."
Silence reigned the small mountain clearing. The first snowflake of the season fell, beautiful patterns branching across it; though winter was not due to begin for another month, it spiraled down to the ground between them anyways.
Tis over!
Read and review everybody! Read and review!
