Chapter 10: Overflow
Scar felt a tear on his face. He felt it slide down. And then he felt another but this time it was not his. Mustang had broken the kiss and was still an inch or so away from his face. Mustang was worried about me. Scar smiled. And Mustang saw it. "I'm going now." Mustang informed Scar.
Mustang left quickly. He knew that Hawkeye would start to wonder where he had gone. He sat down at his desk and after mentally kicking himself he called Hughes. "Hello Hughes. It's Roy." Mustang said. "Oh hi Roy. How have you been? You're just in time to here all about my daughter." Hughes chimed happily. "Hughes wait a minute. I have something serious to ask you." Mustang said quickly in an attempt to stop the stories. The attempt was in vain though because Hughes had already started talking. Hughes stopped and started saying something else in a more serious tone. "Roy the Alchemist killer is gone. No one has seen him for a week. Do you know where he is?" Hughes asked the Colonel. Mustang blushed as he quickly dismissed the idea. "But Hughes if you are willing to die for someone to risk it all do you love them?" Mustang asked turning redder by the minute. "Oh so my loveless friend has finally found someone." Hughes asked in a mood that was much better then before. "Hughes it's not like that." Mustang said turning a deeper shade of red. "So when are you two getting married?" Hughes said. "We aren't. Thanks. Now I have to get back to work." Mustang said and quickly hung up before Hughes could try to find out more about his love life. He did his work for a while longer giving Scar time to sleep before he visited again.
Scar was lying in bed. There was something that had been bugging him. Why did Mustang cry for me? And why do I care. It hit him. As Mustang walked into the room again it hit him. All of the emotions that he had tried to hide came out when he was with Mustang. The overflow of emotions told him that he loved Mustang. He smiled a real smile at the man he loved. He sat up again. This time slower then before so that he didn't get dizzy. Scar had his shirt off and bandages on both of his arms, his chest, and his head. He saw Mustang smile in return. "How are you today?" Mustang asked. "I'm fine." Scar answered. "You don't look fine. You look like it hurts. I know that you don't want to show pain but you can show me." Mustang told Scar. Scar sat in silence for a few minutes. Then he felt those emotions overflow again. He lifted his hand and was about to touch Mustang's face but he took his hand instead. Scar was blushing as he held Mustang's hand. "You're right it does hurt. But it's not too bad." Scar said still blushing. Mustang let go of his hand and pulled Scar into a hug.. As he kissed Mustang he felt all of his emotions run together again. I love you Roy.
