Roy/Ed 45 Themes
Last Kiss
----------
Ed cried into Roy's chest. The news had been a shock. Neither one had foreseen something so devastating. Roy held Ed close, trying to comfort the young man, but Roy was just as upset as Ed, and Roy let a few tears slip.
"Roy," Ed questioned, as he felt something wet splash against his hand.
"It's okay Ed," Roy reassured, not knowing wether it was Ed or himself he was trying to assure.
Ed pulled away looking up into his lovers face. He could see the pain, and fear in his eyes. The same pain, and fear, that was mirrored in his own. The letter had come that morning. Ed had spent the night at Roy's apartment. Ed had been the one to answer the door. He was the one who took the letter from the uniformed officer. He had given it to a half asleep Roy, when he came into the hall. Roy had read the letter out loud.
War. The one word that stood out in both their minds.
They were still in the hall. Both in the floor leaning against the wall. Ed was in Roy's lap. his arms wrapped around his neck. Both men trying to comfort the other. Roy was to leave for the war in just two days. Two days was all they had.
"What if you don't... What if you..." Ed tried to get his mouth to form the words, but nothing came.
"Let's not think about that," Roy said. "We need to think positive. We need to..." but Roy couldn't finish, as he finally let his tears fall.
Ed pulled Roy close, and giving him a kiss. He kissed with fear. He kissed with passion. He kissed with a need, and with a wanting. He kissed Roy, as if it would be their last. That thought ran through both their minds, as they continued to kiss in the hall. Would this be their last kiss?
