Roy/Ed 45 Themes
Notebook
----------
Ed peered down at the old tattered notebook. It was a miracle it hadn't fallen apart when he had picked it up. Opening to a random page, Ed traced the tiny scrawl with his finger. It seemed decades ago since he last looked at its pages. Gently, he flipped to the last page in the notebook.
"With my last breath I will breathe life into my love. Urging him to carry on, to let my love live on."
The voice startled Ed, and as he spun around the notebook fell from his hands. Behind him stood none other then Roy Mustang. A soft smile graced his face, instead of his usual sneer.
"You've read it," it wasn't a question, and nor was there any angry behind it.
"Yes," Roy answered.
"I... I really wanted..." but Ed was unable to finish.
Roy walked over, and picked up the notebook placing it back in Ed's hand. He then pulled Ed into a loose hug. "It's okay Edward. I understand."

Roy stood in the pouring rain, he held a tattered notebook to his chest. He was oblivious to everything around him except for the cold grey stone in front of him. Kneeling down in the muddy earth, Roy traced the words carved onto the stone.
Edward Elric
"His love will live on..."
