A/N: Next in the line of Scieszka drabbles… enjoy! Pre-episode-25 with plot change. Huzzah. Please review!
6. Roy x Sceiszka – Double Loss
He didn't fire her in time.
Why take her? Why take Sceiszka? Hughes I can see, but… Scieszka?
The double loss is way too much for me. I sink down in a puddle of mud in the rain. Who cares if my uniform gets dirty? Lieutenant Hawkeye will wash it for me.
I wasn't the only one upset over the loss of two of our favorite military personnel. FullMetal was too, of course, but he never had the sort of relationship that I had with both of them. He may have known Scieszka longer, like I have known Lieutenant… Brigadier General Hughes longer than he has… but…
He never felt the way for her the way I did.
No tears have fallen. Not yet. Why bother with crying? It doesn't do any good. That's one thing I've learned from FullMetal – if you can consider that "knowledge". I've always known that shedding tears does absolutely nothing.
I touch Scieszka's headstone; it's cold and wet. I bite my lip. Shake my head. I half expect to see your hand come up out of the grave. Grab me, maybe…
Your small hands, pale, drained with death.
Quickly, I stand up and walk away from your grave.
I don't see your corpse running after me in your burial gown.
I reach into my pocket and pull the only thing I have to remember you by: your glasses. I don't know why I took them. What am I going to do with a pair of spectacles? My eyesight is perfect.
Maybe I'll use them every time I need to look at Ed.
I smile at my own immaturity and rub the lenses fondly.
The rain has let up and leaves behinda beautiful sun-smeared sky.
