35. Letter

A/N: Song: "Only One" by YellowCard.

I'm sorry. Forgive me. If I could explain, I would. Just know that you will be fine, no matter what, because you have to be, even though it might seem like it's all over.


"A letter?" Havoc took the envelope.

"More like a note," Roy admitted. "But it says more than a letter ever could, I hope."

"And you said to give it to her only if the worst should happen?"

Roy nodded.

In an instant, Havoc tore up the envelope and its contents until he was sure they could never be pieced back together as Roy watched incredulously. "I'm not doing that. I won't. Because the worst won't happen. It might get bad, Chief, but you really need to have more faith in your ability to make things right. I do. Riza does."

Shutting his mouth with an almost audible click, Roy turned on his heel and left, furious that Havoc had the gall to disobey, but secretly relieved that someone—two someones, in fact—still believed in him.

A/N: No idea whether this one works or not.
