Epilogue
Two years passed all too quickly. Still they lived within the same house, just them. Soon after they released Roy from the hospital they called him into Central Head Quarters.
They had hoped to up his ranking. But he declined it completely, he even turned in his pocket watch. He had turned his last person into a smoldering pile of ashes and ick.
Immediately after that he enrolled himself into a college an began studies in psychology.
Edward still happily worked in the floor shop. He and Russell had become close. Malissa and Russell even closer.
Edward now had a drivers license. Thanks to Roy's persistence.
Roy walked into the house, it was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't see any lights on. It was as if Edward wasn't even home.
"Your not here…" Roy mumbled more observed aloud. Unlike before, if Edward wasn't home before him it didn't terrify him. He knew he'd be home soon. But he had to admit it could worry him from time to time.
Sometimes Malissa or Russell would have him go with them someplace, or he would go visit a friend. Roy smiled, it warmed his whole being knowing Edward made friends.
Walking into the house he turned on a small lamp and took a seat in the chair.
Not five minutes had pasted and Edward walked through the door, well ran through the door. He darted into the living room, grabbing the top of Roy's chair he swung himself around it and landed perfectly in Roy's lap straddling him.
Roy's eyes where wide, "The the hell?"
"Guess what!" Ed chirped.
Roy settled his hands on Ed's hips, "What?"
Ed reached around and pulled a newspaper clipping, "You should read more! You used to like an old man sitting here reading your newspaper sipping coffee every day! Good news!" Ed rambled excitedly holding the small paper in front of Roy's face.
Roy reached up taking the paper and read it, "Your kidding?!"
Ed smiled brightly, "Not in the least!"
"Gay Marriage Laws Passed…" Roy said as he read over the headline.
Ed settled onto Roy's and sat in silence smiling brightly.
"Well now, we'll have to make plans won't we." Roy smiled up at Edward.
Ed beamed, but before he could say anything Roy captured his lips in a chaste kiss. As he pulled away he watched Ed's eyes, "You'll still marry me?" Roy asked hooking his finger under the small chain necklace that held a silver ring.
"Of course." Edward smiled.
They sat in a comfortable silence, neither of them expected this to happen in their life time.
"It's amazing you know…" Edward said playing with the hem of Roy's shirt.
"What's that?" Roy asked.
"That here we are thinking of marriage when I hated you so much before." Edward explained.
Roy smirked, you loved me before you knew you did. I figured that out a few years ago."
Ed looked confused, "How?"
"Your eyes, I thought back then your eyes just lit up like that when your emotions got worked up. But after living with you for so long, your eyes do that whenever you look or think about me. When your mad they go a darker gold."
"Eh… well it's comforting to know you know more about me than I do." Ed smiled lightly.
Roy smiled, "When are you wanting to marry?"
Ed's face brightened, "Whenever you have in mind. I don't mind waiting and I don't care if it's tomorrow, though that's a little rushed." Ed smiled.
"We'll marry soon, I'm tired with waiting." Roy smiled.
Ed leaned forward taking Roy's lips with his own.
IT IS FINISHED!!!!!!! COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!
