Roy/Ed 45 Themes
I'm Leaving Now...
----------
"I'm leaving now," Ed spoke through the door. "I guess I'll just go then." Sadness was clearly evident in his voice. Pain and heartache shone through his once bright eyes.
On the other side of the door was Roy Mustang. His chair was facing the window, his hand resting in his hand. He was refusing to answer, refusing to acknowledge the teen. Pain was also an emotion that Roy was feeling.
"I'm going." Roy heard the words, and the strong feelings placed into them.
No matter how much he wanted to, no matter how much he needed to, he just could not bring himself to say the words. Words that needed to be said, words that he wanted to say. Behind him the door to his office opened, and without turning around he knew that it was not Edward.
"How could you?" Riza asked. "You knew what he came here for."
"Leave me," Roy simply said.
Sighing, knowing it was no use to argue, she turned around and left. Roy fixed his eyes back out the window, and watched as the rejected boy made his way slowly down the street. Standing Roy pressed his hands to the glass. "I love you...," he spoke to the wind.
As if hearing the words, out on the sidewalk, Ed turned looking up at Roy. The look on his face was one that Roy knew he would not soon forget. It was a look that clearly said, "It's too late. I'm leaving now..."
