Meeting at the Cemetery
Maes could hear everything Roy was saying. He wanted to see him, but he couldn't. Roy would never believe it was him. But when he heard say he loved Maes, Maes just couldn't abandon him. He needed to see him. But how would he do this? Maybe he should pay a visit to Ed. Ed didn't know that he was dead yet, and it would be good. Plus, Ed knew about this stuff. He left to go to the military headquarters and left Roy a note.
Ed was surprised how big Russ's room was. It really did have 4 beds, and a wonderful view. Ed gaped at it. He wanted to keep this room, but he knew he couldn't.
"I wonder why Russ was here?" Ed asked himself. Fletcher and Al had went outside to look for homeless animals. If they found one they would use their alchemy to make a home for it. This left Ed and Russell all alone in the room.
"Ed?" Russ called when he got out of the shower. Ed didn't reply. He was in a state of shock.
"Ed?" Russ walked over to him and shook him. This woke Ed up.
"Huh? Oh, its you Russ." Ed said, and then sighed.
"Is something the matter?" Now Russ was very concerned about Ed.
"I was just thinking about the homunculi and everything. I wonder if they don't mind being homunculi."
"What are you talking about?" Russ was very confused.
"They always say they want the Philosopher's Stone so they can become human. Maybe, they hate being what they are and want to be something they're not." Tears came into his eyes.
"Ed…" Russ looked at the boy he loved.
'Russell, I'm going out for a walk. Do not follow me. I want to be alone." Ed said, and he got up and walked out the door.
When Roy went back inside his office, he saw a letter on his desk. He picked it up and read it.
"Mustang, do not tell Fullmetal that Maes is dead yet. I want him to know something. I will write you when I think its time." There was no signature.
"Sir, is something bothering you?" Hawkeye asked.
"No, its nothing." Roy replied, and decided to follow the directions on the note. He didn't know why, but he felt like it was someone he knew who had written the letter. He clutched it and went back to doing his paperwork.
As Ed walked, he felt like he was being followed. He went into the cemetery to have some time alone. He just wanted to cry. He didn't know why. He just felt depressed for some reason. When he knelt on the ground, something tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Maes there.
"Ed, I need some help." Maes said seriously.
"What do you need help with?" Ed asked, now feeling angry instead of sad.
"I heard Roy say he loves me, and I want to face him. But how do I do that?" Ed thought for a second, then had an idea.
"Find him and tell him how you feel. In my opinion, you two would make a great couple." Ed snickered.
"But… but we're both guys. Are you sure its alright?" Maes asked. He was getting all the information he needed.
"It doesn't matter what sex you are. If you love someone, you need to tell them."
"Have you told the person you love that you like them?" Maes asked, laughing. Ed gulped.
"Not yet. I'm waiting for the right moment." Ed said, and Maes could tell he was crying.
"Alright, I'll find Roy and tell him how I feel. But you have to promise me that you will do the same thing." Maes smiled.
"Do I have to do it immediately?" Ed asked. Maes shook his head.
"Alright then, we have a deal." Ed said, and left the cemetery.
