Cuts and Bruises
Too many things were happening. There's too many things to think about.
Edward Elric was walking in the courtyard out front of the headquarters, not knowing where he was walking to and certainly not caring. He had left the office earlier that day, but he hadn't planned on going anywhewhere. He just needed to clear is head. The only thing he was thinking about was the conversation with Mustang the day before.
"I hate you for making me fall in love with you!"
Roy Mustang is in love with me? When did that happen?
Ed had reached a crowded area of the courtyard at this time. The place was crawling with officers leaving for the day and lounging on the benches, trying to finish some last-minute paperwork.
Maybe the question isn't "When did that happen?", it is "Do I love him too?" or "Why didn't I notice this earlier?"
"I don't know," the teen mumbled. He plopped himself down onto an empty bench, closing his eyes and leaning his head back.
"You know, I like to come to thecourtyard to think as well, it's quite peaceful, especially at dusk, but I've never met anyone else sitting on the same bench that I always sit on."
Edward recognized that deep voice. His eyes shot open and saw a certain colonel leaning against a tree across the the path.
Roy crossed the path and stopped in front of Ed. He gestured to the spot next to him on the bench. "You mind?"
The blonde had a blank face. "You're the commanding officer here, Mustang. You can sit anywhere you very well please."
Without responding, the dark haired man silently sat himself down next to Ed.
The short male studied Roy.
What does he want now? And... and is he bleeding
"Mustang, what happened to your cheek? You're bleeding!"
Roy smirked. "Observant today, aren't we?"
Edward scowled. "Don't get all sarcastic with me, you bastard. I'm trying to act slightly concerned. What happened?"
Mustang pointed to the bleeding gash. "This is from Riza when I told her that I didn't love her and that I was breaking up with her."
Before the teen could interrupt, the colonel had already moved on. He turned his head so the blonde could see the other side of his face. There was a black and blue bruise forming on his temple.
"This is also from Riza, when I told her I was in lovewith someone else."
"And who's this 'someone'?" Ed spat out, then wanted to take back. Great, I just sounded like I was jealous...
Roy smiled. "You."
Edward was silent and let Mustang continue.
"With a little help from my best friend, and a lot of threats, I washad to realize that I didn't love Riza, but you." Onyx eyes met golden ones, "I love you, Edward."
It felt like a giant wave from the ocean had just crashed down upon Ed. He sat there, his mouth agape from the shock.
He knew he had to look away from the colonel, had to get away...
But he couldn't. He was drawn to those deep blue eyes.
"I do, Ed. I love you." Roy tried one last time. There was no reply. He sighed with a defeated look in his eyes and stood. Ed watched him, still silent. "Maybe this was a mistake." The man turned away from the teen.
"I love you, too, Roy."
Mustang froza and turned slowly. "You what?"
The blonde's eyes filled with hot tears. "I love you, too," he whispered.Ed bowed his head so he was staring into his lap. The tears left small puddles onhis leather pants. His head was forced up and he looked upon the smiling face of Roy Mustang.
"I'm going to be polite this time, shrimp, and will ask for your permission. May I kiss you?"
Ed glowered. "You're a bastrad."
"Is that a yes?"
"Did I say no?"
"Well, no."
"Then, it seems that it's a yes."
Roy began to lean in closer, but a hand on his chest stopped him.
"Here?" Edward whispered.
"Well, yes, here. Where else?"
Ed blushed, looking around the officers."But what about all these officers? What will they think if they see me and you together..."
Mustang rolled his eyes. "That's your problem, Ed. You have a bad sence of timing. You act when you should think, and think when you should act. Personally, I dont give a shit about what anyone thinks."
The blonde thought. "Good point."
Ed reached up and grabbed Roy by the collar of his uniform and kissed him, in front of every singleofficer or higher upwho would happen to walk by. And he didn't give a shit about what anyone thought.
So, there you go! It's the first fic that I've ever finished.Let me what you thought!
