Love

----------

Love. Such as small word, with such a big meaning. What is love? How do you know if your in love? Love. Such a beautiful word, with such a scary affect.

Edward Elric was sitting quietly on a park bench watching passerby's. Young and old alike walked by him. Dog walkers and joggers. Children and lovers.

It was early evening, and the weather was perfect for summer. A nice breeze was blowing, playing with the ends of Ed's hair. Ed had been sitting in his current position for well over two hours. He hardly seemed to notice. That morning had been a tough one. It had started out well enough, by him going over to Roy's for breakfast. Roy, his boyfriend, had said something to make Ed wonder.

"I love you," Roy spoke softly into his ear, as they held each other.

Ed had been unable to say anything, but Roy didn't seem to notice. They said goodbye, with plans of meeting for dinner. Ed was late, but he just couldn't make himself move. He knew Roy would be worrying about him, but his mind was in such a state.

"Ed," the sound of his name caused all thoughts to leave, as he was met face to face with a very concerned looking Roy.

"Roy," Ed said.

Roy immediately knelt down in front of Ed, placing his hands on the young man's shoulders. "Ed, are you hurt? What's wrong? Why didn't you call?" The questions came out in a rush, completely shaking Ed.

Ed's head fell forward, as he body became racked with sobs. Roy saw tears sliding down his cheeks. "Please," Roy said gently. "Please Ed, tell me what's wrong."

Ed lunged into Roy's arms, and felt the arms grip tightly drawing him closer. The tears fell unchecked, as Ed leaned into Roy's ear and spoke, "I love you."
