Disclaimer: I don't own FMA
A/N: Okay so, I know it's been a while but there's a lot of stuff in my life that's going wonky, so gimme' a break. I used Seiya in this story and you probably won't be bothered by it unless you've read WAVES. Anyways, on with the show!
Chapter 2: Images of lost friends
Ed woke up in an unfamiliar place. His eyes swept he ceiling above him, and then down to his quite naked body covered by black, cotton sheets. After he had sat up in the king sized bed, and curled up with a pillow in front of his chest, Ed began to remember the previous night's events. As he pondered, he neglected to realize that Roy was still sleeping beside him. He kept looking around at everything on the white shelves. Everything was immaculate. Neat and clean. And white. Roy's entire bedroom was white with the slight exception of his sheets, which at the best of times where hidden under a cream colored duvet. Ed slowly got up, dragging the sheet behind him and wrapping himself in it. He slowly padded over to the white dresser on the far end of the long room, and reached out to touch its only tenant: A small, black frame holding a picture of Roy and himself embracing a younger girl in front of central headquarters. Ed chuckled slightly as he traced the girl's face with his finger tenderly. He jumped when he heard someone clear his throat behind him. The young man spun around to see Roy propped up in bed, arms crossed, looking at him.
"What are you doing?" He asked with a smile .Ed looked back at the picture and picked up the light weight frame. Roy looked on the younger boy as the breeze from the open window blew his blonde hair from side to side, and ruffled the sheets that covered him.
"I can't believe you still have this…" He trailed off when he placed the picture back on the dresser and moved back to the bed. His bare feet careening off the marble floor as it began to send chills up his very spine. Roy smiled as the blonde curled up under his arm, and he draped his other over the young fullmetal alchemist's small shoulders.
"Of course. It was the happiest day of my life, remember? That was the day I became a General? And the day that Seiya got her title." Roy stopped talking suddenly as he looked down at his lover, whose head was hung low.
"That was her happiest day to…" Ed murmured. "The Glass Alchemist…What a name for the fuehrer to give to a seventeen year old." Ed laughed a bit to himself as Roy's hold tightened.
"You miss her don't you?" Ed nodded and looked up to his older lover's face.
"We were a team, you know? People used to say, here comes metal ice on fire, remember those days? I was thinking that it was because I'm thinking about her a lot lately that I can't do alchemy. Maybe it's because my mind is somewhere else. Somewhere better." Ed sighed slowly.
"You know Ed…she's not coming back. Neither is your brother. You have to accept that sooner or later." Ed pulled away from the darker man's embrace slowly, and turner to look at him.
"What do you mean? Of course they're coming back. They're all I have and all you have. Just because they've been gone for a while, doesn't mean that they're not coming back at all!" Ed's voice rose to a shout as he moved off the bed and began to pull on his clothes.
"Ed, where are you going?" Roy said, a hint of exasperation heard behind the mask of his cool and collected exterior. Ed huffed and pulled on his coat over his half done up shirt and shoved his feet into his untied boots. He stood in the doorway, and looked at Roy.
"I come to you with a problem and expect you to help me not send all my hope away. Are you going to help me or not?" Roy sighed and smiled at his stubborn lover. He stood and walked over to the boy, placing a hand on his pale face.
"She was my sister. And he was your brother. I'm sorry that I brought it up." Ed wrapped two arms around the taller man's waist.
"I just wish they were here. I mean why did they have to leave? I don't understand." Roy pulled him away slightly and looked down into his face.
"Maybe that's why you can't do alchemy anymore, Ed. You have to find them." Ed looked down.
"How? We don't even know what's wrong with me. Maybe I should see the doctor at HQ first."
"Whatever you want, I'm behind you. Just remember, Edward, There is more to life than alchemy. Like family." Ed smiled slightly.
"I should get over there right away before the secretaries show up." Roy chuckled as the young boy rushed out the door and down to the street .he turned away from the window and sat on his bed, hands on his face.
"Could this be the same boy that showed up at my door last night?" He laughed and then an image of his little sister flashed into his mind. He lowered his face into his hands once more and sighed.
" Hey god, if you're there, do a guy a solid, find her before I do."
A/N: Okay just a brief explanation of that last line, he's so angry at her for making Ed sad, and for running off, that he hopes god finds Seiya before he does cuz he's gonna be REALLY mad at her. Teehee thanks fur reading and I'll se you pawduhs in the next chap! Read and Review BABY!
