Roy/Ed 45 Themes

After One Year...

----------

After one year he finally decided that it was time to go home. It was time that he picked up the pieces, and placed everything back to the way it should be, the way it was supposed to be. One year may not have been long, but to Edward it had felt like a lifetime.

The office was almost completely empty, aside from Riza who Ed was sure lived there. Placing a finger over his lips he easily silenced the shriek that would have come at the sight of his arrival. A quick motion to the door gave Ed the answer he needed, then taking a deep breath he knocked on the door to Roy Mustang's office.

"Come in," came the deep voice.

Taking another deep breath Ed pushed open the large oak door. After closing the door for privacy, he turned to face the man he had not seen in over a year. Though his head was down Ed could still see the features that made Roy so desirable. His hair was as black as ever, and Ed watched Roy's hands move gracefully across the paper he was working on.

"Riza I know you want this paperwork done, but holding me at gun point will not...," Roy trailed off, as he looked up.

Looking into Roy's eyes took his breath away. He felt his will leaving, his heart quicken, he could feel his legs sinking, and his head swimming.

When Ed began to wake it felt as if he were waking from a long dream. Seeing Roy's smile told him otherwise.

"I see that you are still falling head over heals for me," Roy said.

"Roy," Ed spoke, his voice barely a whisper.

Roy carefully placed his arms around Ed, and helped him into a sitting position. Much to Ed's delight, Roy then positioned himself behind him, giving his back support.

"Are you all right?"

"I... I think so," Ed answered, leaning deeper against the warm chest. "I guess it was more of a shock then I expected, seeing you I mean."

"If you hadn't of fainted, I probably would be in shock myself," Roy admitted.

"I did not faint!" Ed shouted, then looked at Roy sheepishly. "OK, maybe I did."

"I missed you Ed."

Ed looked up into Roy's eyes, "After one year, I decided that I missed you too."
