The Story of My Life
Chapter One
"You know dumb struck is not a good look for you." The words were caustic and cold. Colonel Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist, Hero of the Lior Rebellion and all around cold bastard crossed the three steps to only other piece of furniture in the small cell, a matching straight backed metal desk chair as the one prisoner Mustang currently sits chained to.
"Edward." One word, uttered calmly with a multitude of emotions behind it, everything from confusion to hate and back again. " Honestly, I never thought I would see you again."
"Yeah well unfinished business and all that shit." The words were followed by a tried sigh
"Bullshit aside, why are you here Edward?" The question came out weary and rightly so.
"When they hauled you out of that damn courtroom you asked me why. You are going to die tomorrow, and there is nothing I or anyone else can do about that. The way I figure you deserve to have your answer."
"It took you four years to figure that out?" The question came out far more bitter than Roy had intended. "I have spent four years in this hellhole because of you and your just figuring out that you might owe me and explanation. Here I thought you were a progeny."
"Procrastination. Something I learned from you actually. Listen Roy I have done some horrible things in my life some of witch directly affect you so if you want my confession shut up and listen."
Shifting from one uncomfortable position to another Roy cocked his head to the side. "I'm listening." The words were simple no tone, no concession. It reminded Ed of being younger standing across from his former Colonel's desk infuriated at the mans calm and ability to insult him while never showing any emotion.
"Alright, here it is."
