Theme: #3 Indivisible
At age five they were already best friends. In the following years they started school at the same time, shared all the same teachers, and played on the same sports teams. Adults used to laugh at the unlikely pair: one boy lanky, bright and exuberant, the other stockier and darkly intense. But they refused to be apart from each other, even when the Hughes family moved across town in their last year of high school.
Not even Roy's obsession with alchemy stood between them, and they entered the academy together the next year. Their curriculum differed; one an alchemist, the other a soldier. But that meant absolutely nothing when they came home late in the afternoon, too bored with homework and too interested in each other. It was as roommates, finally out in the world on their own, that they transcended simple "friendship" to become truly "indivisible." It was then that they whispered promises about forever under the protective cover of night.
