And more drabbles! Yay! Love me! Review! This ones Roy/Ed (duh) with hints of Al/Winry. Yeah, so this is just a sweet thing I thought of, I hope you like it!
Rust
Roy sat with Edward in his arms, beside the window, where outside it was raining again. He tapped a contemplative finger against the cool metal of Edward's right arm, and noticed it was rougher than usual, and rust had gathered on the edges.
Humming slightly he looked down at Edward's golden head, which was buried in another book.
"Your automail..." he murmured, and the small hand that was turning a page paused.
"What about it?"
"It's getting old and rusty; perhaps you should get Winry to fix it up for you" Thunder crackled outside and the rain got heavier, however Roy was comfortable and warm where he was.
Ed let out a dry laugh.
"Winry's too busy with Al"
"Oh really? They're an item?"
Ed raised an eyebrow.
"Took
you a while"
They fell into comfortable silence but something
was nagging at Roy, something that usually nagged at him at times
like this.
He was old. Not senile-old but older than Edward nonetheless. Edward had his whole life ahead of him, so why settle down with someone nearly twice his age? And what will happen when Roy's hair goes grey, what will happen once he obtains wrinkles and the inability to move away from the couch he last sat at.
"Will you keep it like that forever" He asked the chibi quietly.
"Even if it gets old?"
Edward sighed and shut his book with a snap, placing it on the floor beside them.
"I know what you're referring to, I'm not stupid" He turned to face the other and smiled.
"You're worried about your age again"
Roy smiled ruefully.
"Can't help it, chibi Hagane, with age comes many worries"
Edward snorted.
"Oh get over yourself, your only 25, AND DON'T CALL ME CHIBI!" At this small outburst Roy couldn't help but break the barrier and grin.
After all, he had his whole life ahead of him as well.
