/Begin Story/
Footsteps echoed through the streets, followed by heavy panting. Raven hair flew out of his face as his dark eyes frantically scanned the streets. Roy ran fast and hard, searching for the blonde haired boy he had sent out on another mission. A while ago, Roy had gotten an e-mail while he was checking for anything new in life.
FLASHBACK-
Roy sighed as he looked up at the clock. He had just sent Edward out on a mission only five minutes ago. 'Only thirty-five minutes left of work.. Maybe I should check my e-mails?' He thought. Without answering his self-asked question, he clicked on the small triangle icon on his computer and opened up AOL. 'Twenty-one e-mails.. That's a surprise. Usually I get over fifty.'
He opened up his mail and erased all of the spam mail that managed to get through, and erased all of the 'useless' stuff. Just as he was about to exit AOL, another mail popped up. He blinked and opened it as he began to read it.
Dear Colonel Mustang:
You're such a fool. I can't believe that you actually sent that FullMetal boy out on that stupid mission! I hope you realize, that it's a trap…
His brown eyes widened slightly as he continued reading..
He's going to die, and it's going to be all your fault. You're a bastard of a colonel.. His blood will be in your hands.
Edward's going to die? That can't happen, he's as stubborn as a mule, but he also has that ego of his..
You'll never see your precious FullMetal Alchemist, Roy Mustang. It's all your fault that he dies. Thank you for bringing me this delicious meal. I mean it.
That's all of it.. Roy quickly got up from his chair and darted out the office, shoving past anyone that got in the way. 'Edward, don't you dare die. I'm coming.'
END FLASHBACK-
Roy turned down a street and continued to run blindly. He knew where the place was of course. 759Weeping WillowAve., that was an abandoned warehouse which he was told to hold many secrets about alchemy and possibly help them gain more powers that they could only dream of.. And he sent that certain blonde down to investigate without any hesitation. Why didn't he do it? Why couldn't he get off his lazy ass and do it himself? Stupid, stupid Colonel.
He finally reached his destination and stared upon it. It cast dark shadows all around Roy. The windows were busted and the door looked like it was busted down by some sort of monster unknown to man. Colonel Mustang hesitated before ultimately running inside, kicking the door down completely. His eyes widened in confusion and fright.
Edward stood completely still, his back turned to Roy. The older man took a step closer, reaching a hand out towards the young one.
"Ed.. Edward? FullMetal?" He called out, using both his real name and alias, hoping to get an answer of any sort. The boys head jerked up, but nothing more.
"Edward.. It's me, Roy.. Colonel Mustang. What's wrong? Edward, come here." He said as he continued to advance slowly.
"R.. Roy?" A soft voice cracked, as Edward began to turn around stiffly. Roy gasped. Edward was as white as a ghost, and his once bright amber eyes were now a dull gold. He looked as if he was going to pass out, but fought against it.
"Edward, come here, please." Roy said, stopping in his tracks as he didn't want to scare the already terrified boy. Edward shook his head 'no' and continued gazing at him, his mouth hung open slightly.
"Edward, come here now! Please!" He yelled, taking another step. If he had to, he would use force if that was the only choice to get Ed out of harm's way.
"Roy.." Edward said quietly, tears forming in his eyes. "I'm scared. Please, help me.." Roy's eyes widened.
"Ed.. Ward?"
Suddenly, it happened. A blast of an unknown red beam shot through Edward from behind, tearing through his body like nothing. Roy stared in horror as his body trembled. Edward let out a shrill, high-pitched scream like nothing you've ever heard as he fell to the ground, limp. The older man's breathing became uneven and hoarse. There's no way.. not that easily could Edward die… But he did.
Edward's body shook uncontrollably as he turned his gaze up at Roy, tears falling to the ground.
"Roy.. Please……… help…" Edward breathed, trying to say everything at once. Roy quickly ran over to the boy's side, collapsing to his knees.
"Edward.. Oh God.. Edward! Oh God damn it!" He said in frustration and in panic. He stared down at Edward, his body shook terribly as blood made it's way around the body, forming a large puddle of blood.
"Edward, don't die! I'm going to help! Please, oh God fucking damn it!" He cursed as tears formed in his eyes. Edward continued to stare at Roy and managed to get a couple short breaths.
"Roy.."
"Don't speak Edward! Please, don't!"
"I… I love you.." Edward said quietly, smiling weakly up at the older man. Roy quickly looked into Edward's eyes and saw what was going to happen next.
"Don't say that.. Don't give up, Ed. Come on, we can pull through." He whispered, allowing tears to escape his eyes. Edward brought a hand up to wipe them away, but only caused blood to get on Roy's face.
"But.. I do.. I really……" Edward breathed, wincing in pain with every word he spoke, "Really love you… I've just… never……..acted like.. I did.." Tears fell from his dull eyes as he talked, grasping on the Colonel's uniform tightly. "I was just.. too... afraid to tell... you.. I'm.. sorry.."
"Edward?" Roy said, lifting the boy up gently and cradling him in his arms. "I… I love you, too." They smiled weakly at each other. 'This is it.. The last time I see him.. Why now? Why.. Why him?' Roy thought. Roy closed his eyes and brought his lips to Edward's and kissed the dying boy softly; Edward doing to same. When Roy opened his eyes, he sighed heavily.
"Edward.." He choked out. 'He's dead.. It's all my fault..'
Roy looked down at the dead body in his arms, his tears falling on the pale face. "You're really gone.. I can't believe it. I love you, Edward Elric.. I was also too afraid to say it.. Now, I wish I could have told you earlier before now.. I'm sorry.. I'm so.. so sorry." He kissed Edward's lips again, tasting the blood on his mouth.
Roy left Edward on the ground in the warehouse and sighed shakily. He slowly pulled on his fiber-synthetic gloves and looked at the building for one last time. He snapped his fingers and set the house ablaze, the fire licking the sky with its brilliance.
"Goodbye, my Edward.." Roy turned around and walked away from the burning building, leaving his dead, new-found love inside.
IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
