I haven't updated my drabbles in a while (Two weeks till the Christmas Holidays, give me a break XX) But anyway, here's another one, might be slightly random since I'm running dry on ideas. This one is kinda angst but sweet, and contains spoilers for the end of the series.
Hikari
Most of his world was dark now. The Ishbal Massacre had always been a permanent scar on his soul, and now added to that was the most physical effect on him, his eye, now covered in a patch that concealed the horror inside. The result of the human transmutation on poor Alphonse Elric, the loss of his memory, of his brother, who dissapeared into history.
The loss of Hughes, his best friend since as long as he could remember, who left his wife and child alone in the world.
Roy Mustang was nothing anymore, nothing without his support, without his friends, without the small chibi who would always seem to brighten up his day with his ridiculous antics, with his forever shining light.
His Hikari, who was never to be seen again.
Turning over, the man stared out the window next to his bed, where outside the seemingly forever present rain clouds were dispersing. The colours and shine of the world was now dull and gone from his eyes, all that was seen was greys and blacks, all that was known was the confines of his bedroom, which he would never leave again, never to see the light again, not ever again...
Ignoring the sound of his bedroom door opening, reasoning with himself that it must be Riza coming to try and persuade him out of bed, Roy buried his head further into the worn out pillow.
Soft steps were heard across the wooden floor, and he felt the bed go down as someone sat on the edge of it.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Roy spotted blonde hair, so, it was Riza after all.
"Stupid Taisa..." Came a voice, and Roy frowned, it was so familiar, but only hearing Riza's cold voice for three months straight it was hard to remember.
"You've been sitting in darkness for ages"
There was the sound of a match being struck, and Roy winced as the glow from candles lit the room. Riza had never lit any candles, or turned the light on, she respected his wishes, so who was this person?
A warm hand brushed his dirty hair away from his forehead and there was a soft kiss on his temple.
"Don't worry, they won't go out, I won't let them"
Roy rolled over in sharp realisation and was met with two golden orbs filled with shame.
"I'm sorry..." Edward murmured shame-faced.
All Roy could do with the little energy he had left, was force a smile, and then sink into Hagane's awaiting arms, finally allowing himself to sleep without dreams for once, for Edward wouldn't let the light go out.
Edward was his Hikari, and he would light the way.
Now, and forever on.
