A/N: READ ME…some of you don't read them so I decided to try to get your attention. This drabble was co-written with a great friend of mine. I do understand that the chances of this happening are slim to none. But it is justifiable. Anyone who does not believe me come talk to me cause I will make you see why it is justifiable. Ok XD enjoy!


The Darkness That Binds

Roy lay in the corner of his bed with his head resting against the wall. He had tried to sleep, but it was always the same. The voices. The images. The gun.

He curled up even more waiting for the aftermath of his nightmares to come and torment him. It always happened. Nightmares. Then came the real deal.

Out of the corner of the he saw the translucent shadow crawl onto the bed next to him. He felt the cold fingertips on his chin, turning his face towards them.

Roy turned his head weak with sadness. Before he was paralyzed with fear. Now it came naturally. He looked into a pair of yellowish- green eyes, and felt the tears brim his eyes.

Maes looked and him and smiled weakly, running a thumb across his cheek.

"Why do you cry, Roy?"

He always spoke in a form whisper, and despite not wanting to talk to the darkness Roy always answered. He could feel his heart beating against his chest cavity.

"How am I supposed to answer that question... how am I supposed to sit here and pretend like nothing is happening when you decided to pop up? That one person in my life that I would do anything, ANYTHING for. That one person that I miss more then anything else in this world, and you ask me why I cry?"

"Its not my fault you killed me."

Roy watched Maes disappear into the darkness that bound him. Tears fell from his eyes.

"No... it's not..."
