Back to Me

Disclaimer: ARGISHNESS! I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of the characters!

It's been three years since my lover, Edward, went missing. I don't know the exact details of what happened that day, but from the inferences of the group of Ed's assorted 'family' I've gotten a slippery grasp on his whereabouts. Course… that isn't much. Al lost his memory that day and has just recently regained it all and all he'll tell me is, "he's beyond the gate."

'Beyond the gate? What the hell? … Another world? Maybe?'

But for the past six months Al, and I, and the rest of Ed's 'family' have worked together non stop to find a way to get Edward back. Finally, after months of grueling tedious book research, experiments, trial, and error, we've reached a solution. Al and I, being the ones closest to him, are to combine our powers to call to him… to drag him back if necessary. Of course there is some alchemic formulas that go along with all of this, but they are so involved that even I have trouble understanding what's going on. Al seems to have inherited his brother's, or I should say his father's, genius for the complex. After sketching the intricate spider web of arrays I stare at them with a mix of awe and a bit of 'what the hell!' But my confusion soon turns to excitement and anxiety as we begin our transfusions.

Suddenly, in front of me I can feel Ed, his presence beckons me forward hauntingly and I can even smell that sweet scent that I've never forgotten. "Ed!" I call out for him and hope that he hears me, but when my voice is shredded by the tumultuous winds I stretch out my arms and clasp his hips with my desperate hands…. I don't know how I knew where his hips were, but just call it intuition.

Abruptly the air shudders and shrieks as two grim doors appear in front of me and swing open revealing a flustered blonde boy. He's trying desperately to keep moving forward and the instant he breaches the gateway the winds cease and he streaks towards the deadly ground. I sprint towards the falling form and an idle thought strikes my mind, 'my fallen angel' … ha, what a thing to be thinking of right now.

"Ed!"

When I call his name he opens his previously tightly closed eyes and grins once the swimming orbs have focused on me. Stretching his arms out to me he seems to just glide into my likewise waiting embrace.

"Roy, I missed you."

"hm… I'd hope so, it's been three years."

"What? Only one year has passed in the other world."

I stare at him in fascination and then I let loose a long awaited grin. "Then you got it easy. So, it's up to you to please me tonight and every other night for the next two years… just to be fair."

I can tell he's about to open that big mouth and argue so, instead, I put it to better use by leaning down and reclaiming those lips after so long. He's quick to respond with a will and fervor I've yet to witness. I'm starting to think that his absence wasn't a complete waste.

"I love you, Ed. Never leave me again," I whisper into his mouth.

He pulls back and then smiles reassuringly at me, "Never again…I promise."
