Roy/Ed 45 Themes
Tears
----------
He wouldn't cry. Not this time. He would be strong, and wouldn't let it get to him. He broke down last time. Last time had been hard. He had cried last time. This time he wouldn't.
"Go," Roy spoke. "You can't stay here. You have to leave."
Ed stood in the doorway, rejection gracing his features. He fought at the tears, urging them not to fall. He wouldn't let Roy see him like this. He wouldn't let his guard down. A single tear slipped past his eyelashes, slowly traveling down his cheek. Damn. He swore he wouldn't cry.
"I want to stay," Ed pleaded, his voice shaking with each word.
Roy sighed, "I know Edward, but you can't."
"Please," Ed tried again, the tears falling faster.
Roy pulled Ed to his chest, and began rubbing circles on his back. "Edward, if I thought it would help I would let you stay. I can't though. Now, please just go." Roy let go of Ed, and turned him to the door. With a slight push Ed was soon out the door, and facing the hard grainy surface.
On the other side of the door stood Roy. His hand still wrapped around the doorknob. Everything n him screamed at him to just jerk the door back open, and hold Ed. Everything in him yelled at him to open it, but Roy fought those feelings off. On the other side of the door Roy stood. Roy stood, and let his tears fall to match Ed's.
