Oblivious

Roy stood in the doorway for a couple more seconds just to make sure that this wasn't a joke and Ed would come right back. He never did. Roy slowly closed the door and went to sit down on the couch. He sat and evaluated the amount of broken glass that covered the room the drapes that were burnt from trying to defend himself, unsuccessfully. As much as he tried to actually care about the damage he couldn't. Ed was gone. He wasn't here. And it didn't sound like he was ever coming back. Roy didn't know what to do.

'I don't understand why I said that.' He thought. 'What would possess me to say such a thing? I don't think about him as a toy by any means but I made it sound like I did. It's the same when people ask me about us. I want to tell them everything, but then I deny it all and take my callousness out on Ed. I am horrible to him and yet he has stayed with me for 2yrs. He's right, I am a bastard.'

Roy put his head in his hands. He was numb inside. He felt that Ed had every right to hate him right now. He hated himself at the moment. He hadn't realized how much more comforting this house was with Ed there. It didn't matter if he was curled up in a chair with a book. His presence was tranquilizing. It was just the thought that he was there or that he would be. Roy couldn't stay there anymore. Not right now. He might even find a hotel to sleep in. He just didn't want to be here in this house with out him. Roy stood up and went to get his coat. Then he left the house as it was and went to the bar for a drink.

Ed walked in silence to his apartment. This would be the first time in a long time that he would be alone. It was hard for him to believe what had happened. Everything that he had devoted to this man had been returned to him artificially. For once in his life he had let down his guard and this is what happened.

'Why would he say it if he didn't mean it?' He thought. ' I was nothing more than his playboy. I can't believe I am so gullible. I thought that maybe things had changed, but I was wrong. In the past I did his bidding and I continued to do it. What was I thinking? This is what it feels like to have your heart ripped out of your chest. Why did I have to get so comfortable? And why did it have to be with him? Why did he have to be the one that I fell in love with?'

He was devastated. He never cried for anyone yet he shed a tear for Roy. Normally he would have just beat the crap out of him right there and then, but this was one time that he didn't even have the desire to do bodily harm to anything or anyone. He just needed to get out of there as quickly as possible. Those emotions he was feeling actually scared him.

'Was I asking too much from him? Did I expect too much? Is it even me that pressured him?'

His mind wanted to convince him that all this would be over in the morning, but his heart knew better. Disconsolately, Ed continued to walk down the street until he reached his building. Unwilling to commit to being alone for the night, he stood in front of the door for a good five minutes before unlocking it and going inside.

Roy walked into one of the bars he frequently visited. Luckily there weren't very many people there. He didn't care to talk to anyone. He walked up to the bar and ordered a drink.

"Well, well, well if it isn't the Colonel!" the bartender said.

"Hey James. Long time no see. How's the business?" Roy said.

"It's going. Lost a lot of my female patrons when you stopped coming around so often. How you been?"

"Well, good until now."

"Sorry to hear that. Broke some Lass's heart, did you?"

"Sure did and I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate being called a lass."

James laughed. "Here's a drink on me."

"Thanks James."

Roy slowly drank his beverage and listened to the melody that was playing.

His senses were quickly roused as a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"It's been a long time solider. You made me worry about you."

Roy whipped around to one; see who was touching him and two; to find out why that voice was so familiar. When he did he was faced with a gorgeous brunette that stood a little taller than Ed. She had on the shortest jean skirt that you could buy and a very flattering low-cut blue shirt; complete with a pair of stiletto heals.

"Melissa!" Roy said

"Good to know you remember who I am. You all most had me worried." She said.

"He grinned. "I don't think anyone could forget you even if they tried."

She made a playful pouty face. "You were trying to forget me were you?"

"No, I can't say that I was."

"Good. So, how have you been?"

"Pretty good I guess."

"Uhhuhh. Now are you planning on telling me the truth? What brings you back here? It's been years, and then all the sudden you come back? What happened?"

Roy laughed. "That would be an interesting conversation. Lets just say I broke the heart a person who I care for deeply."

"Oh you poor baby. I'm sorry to hear that. Are they the reason you stayed away for so long?"

"No, they are the reason I didn't need to come back."

"Must have been someone very important."

"Oh yeah, very important."

"Wife?" she asked.

Roy almost choked on the drink had to his lips.

"No, no, no." He laughed. "Not even close."

He thought of what Ed would have done if he had heard that.

"Oh goodness, you must be really down about this. Your all teary eyed."

"No, I am not teary. I'm fine. Lets talk about you. How have you been?"

"Ok, still working at the hospital, still living in the same place, still the same old me." She smiled.

"You are hardly old."

"A compliment, hmmmm that's scary."

They both laughed.

"It's nice to see you Roy."

"You to Melissa. Here, I'll buy you a drink."

He brought her a drink and they sat, reminiscing.

Ed sat in a chair staring up at the ceiling. He couldn't sleep. He didn't want to read. He didn't want to walk. Matter of fact, he didn't want to do anything, but stare at the ceiling. Thinking. Someone, lightly pounding on the door, stirred him from his thoughts.

"God please not right now." He said out loud.

He didn't know what to say if it was Roy and he defiantly wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone else. There was another knock.

"What do you want?" He yelled at the door.

"Fullmetal, sir, its Hawkeye."

'What the hell is she doing here and why?' he thought as he walked over to the door and opened it.

"Is there a reason why you're here so late?"

"I had caught and late show and was coming out when I saw you walking home. You didn't look so good and I figured I would come see if you're ok." She said.

"Well' you have bad timing and I would rather not…."

"Edward, I am not here as you subordinate. I am here as a friend."

"Fine come in I don't care anymore."

He opened the door and let Hawkeye in. He then escorted her to the other chair where she sat facing him.

She sighed. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No."

"Sometimes it helps you know."

"It won't right now."

" You know I'm sure everything will work out just fine."

"Do you now? You don't even know what's going on." He said a little more rudely then planned.

"I know it's about Roy."

Ed stared at her, taking in what she had just said. He shook his head as if physically trying to remove Roy from his head.

"It was pretty loud outside which means that it was even louder inside."

"What makes you think I was in there with that asshole."

"The fact that I also know that you have been seeing him for over two years now."

"What the..." Ed tried to exclaim.

"I'm not retarded. I see certain things. Like the way he looks at you."

"Yes he looks at me like I'm his fucking boy toy!" Ed said not really meaning to release such information.

"Ed, I understand that he is harder on you more now then ever before, but he's also happier then I have ever seen him."

"Yeah right. You are going to be surprised when he finds someone he's not ashamed of."

"He's not ashamed of you, Ed."

"Bull shit! He has yet to admit to anyone that he was with me. He denied it the whole time and then he fucking ships me clear across the world to try to prove it. I'm sick of it. I don't need it! I'm tired of having to push my feelings aside to make him happy!"

" So are you just going to throw it all away?"

"Why not? He won't give a shit."

"You will."

Ed sat there and thought about it for a moment. If Roy was sincere and he just said what he did out of anger there would still leave the fact that he has some weird reason for not telling anyone. It wasn't like Ed wanted him to make some kind of national declaration of his love or something equally cheesy (Ed would kill him if he tried), but he didn't want him to deny it. It was as simple as that. Just don't try to hide it.

Ed sighed, "I don't know what to do anymore." He confessed. He knew that she wouldn't use this as blackmail, and she was always a good listener.

"Have you already ended things with him?" Hawkeye asked.

"Yes. I don't think it matters anymore."

"That's unlike you."

"What."

"Giving up something so important to you so easily."

"You don't understand. You don't know what he said. Until you find away to rewind time and be there, you will have no clue."

"Try me."

"Why do you care so much? Why is this so hard for you to let go?"

"Like I told you before, I see things. You two are happy together."

"No, I was happy with him. According to him I am liability that just not worth it. I evidently want the mountains moved for me."

"I don't understand. Why would he say you're a liability?"

"Because he's risking everything he has just to keep a piece of ass in arms reach."

Hawkeye looked at him and Ed blushed.

"I don't believe that all you are to him is a "boy toy" as you said before."

"I do."

"Well, that's unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that. It's getting late I should get going."

Ed mumbled something that sounded like "fine" and stood up to follow Hawkeye to the door.

"Ed, we both know how Roy can be sometimes. I'm not telling you to kiss and make up, but I do believe that you might feel better if you actually sat down and had a normal conversation about this before you do something rash.

Okay?"

"Whatever."

She smiled at him before reaching in and embracing him. Ed of course didn't hug back but he didn't pull away which was enough to assure her that he appreciated it. She pulled away and looked down at him.

"Just give it a shot." She smiled. "What do you have to loose?"

He gave her a small smile and then told her goodnight.

He didn't want to speak to him ever again. The bastard killed him on the inside. But she was right. They were both upset. Ed had no doubt that to some extent Roy meant what he said, but it would probably help calm some nerves.

"Whatever." He said out loud as he walked back over to his chair. He sat down and continued to stare at the ceiling as he was before.

Melissa and Roy sat at the bar enjoying themselves. They had a couple of drinks in them so they were feeling pretty good. Roy had been talking to her about random things careful not to tread on any sensitive subjects. Somehow he had to keep himself from bolting out the door to find Ed.

"I had completely forgotten just how charming you were." Melissa said as she smacked him playfully.

"If you've forgotten, then I didn't do a very good job. I will have to make it up to you by the end of the night." Roy replied.

"Then I will be expecting it."

Roy chuckled.

"So ummm I don't want to bring this up again but what exactly happened to you tonight?"

"No, No, No! I don't want to go there right now."

"Well, ok. Are you still with her?"

"Well, no I'm not with HER. Evidently I'm not with anyone."

"So it's been awhile since you've been alone I assume?"

"Yes it has."

"Well, you can come and sleep on my couch if you wish."

"Probably not a good idea."

"Oh come on! What are friends for? I promise to be good."

Roy looked over at her. He was planning on staying in a hotel. It would be easier to just stay at her place. Plus he was getting pretty drunk and didn't want to walk too far.

"Fine, but only if your good."

"Always."

"Well, I can name a few occasions when you were being rather bad."

"If you remember then I guess I did a good job." She looked at him seductively.

"Always."

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!
