Chapter 4
Our Distance and that Person
Edward Elric and Roy Mustang went to visit Hughes' grave together. It was the first time that Ed had gone to see him. They stood there silently looking at Hughes' grave. After a while Roy broke the silence. "I couldn't do anything. I couldn't save him. I didn't even know that he was in trouble." Mustang said. It's like he blames himself. "I know. I wish that I had stayed. Maybe he'd still be here." Ed said. "He was my best friend. He promised that he'd help push me to the top. He was going to serve under me. Mustang told Ed. "Whoever did this will pay!" Ed said his voice filled with determination. "Yes they will." Mustang said his voice as determined. Roy sat on his knees and Ed joined him. They sat in silence for a while longer remembering Hughes. "He just seems so far away." Mustang said a tear falling. Ed looked at him and took his hand, pulling Mustang closer. Mustang was lying against Ed's chest. Ed lifted the Colonel's face and looked into his eyes. They were filled with pain. He leaned down. Their lips and their tears met.
To be continued!
LEF:
I tried to show a more grown-up side of Ed. I hope that I didn't take him too much out of character. I also wanted to show that they could show each other what they are feeling. I hoped that you liked it.
