13. Roy x Ed – Existence

I can't say how many times I keep telling them about Edward Elric. At first, they were lighthearted and would always casually ask me, "Hey, Mustang. How's Edward doing?" and I would reply, "He's doing well," or "He's in a bad mood today."

I could never hear their snickering and mocking before. I turned a blind eye to the rude pointing gestures made my way. I ignored people who whispered about me behind my back. But I can hear it now. I can hear every word.

They call me crazy. A raving lunatic who can't tell dreams from reality. They laugh and make faces whenever I come near. No one takes me seriously anymore.

They're wrong. They're wrong! I don't understand why they all act they way they do, why they think that everything I've told them is all a well-fabricated lie. It's not. Every word I tell them is true. Edward Elric exists. I am not embracing air when I touch him in the halls. I can feel him, half flesh, half automail, but all Edward. He's there! He lives here, here at Central. He lives with me.

Edward Elric is not a lie. He is not a delusion that my mind has created. He is there. And I love him.

More pointing fingers. It's the same thing every time I try and walk down a hall. "There goes Mustang, the crazy one. He keeps thinking there's someone named Edward Elric here…"

I glare at them. Edward Elric does exist. He is beside me right now, golden head lying on my arm. I don't understand why the rest of the military just doesn't see that.

Cracks me up every time… Ahh, there goes the ego again. I love my own jokes… :sigh: Aaanyway… Thank you very much for the review (to insert rhyme: "Cows say moo!"):D

Fading Wind: Wow, you live in Hong Kong? Long ways away from my residence… :sweatdrop: Big freakin' city… I'd kill to visit there (I live in a farm town in the middle of nowhere… -.-). Anyway, you're so lucky! My friends never get me anime-ish stuff. Although they do come through with neat homemade things like bead animals pigs… and paper clips. Hee hee. n.n And what? Al die instead of Hughes? No way! Al's too young and innocent and kawaii:sobs: I love Al! And I love Hughes too… Ya know? Pinako should've died. Just… random death. In place of Hughes-sama… So now I'm rambling. Thank you for your review!
