Smile
by: Harushi Karasunaki
If Ed had only looked just one more he would have seen him. Roy Mustang the flame alchemist had accomplished the task of opening the gate. Roy smiled at the thought of where he was, Who he would be able to see. He knew that by going to this world he was giving up everything he had ever known but he didn't care. After all, he had nothing left to return to. After the ship of the people from the other world came to Amestris the country had been struck with a terrible plague like they had never seen. It seemed to affect everyone and spared no one.
Riza had been one of the people that was infected and She had told him, practically ordered him, to use her as a sacrifice to open the gate. She had said that she wanted to see him happy that he hadn't smiled in such a long time.
And it was true, he really hadn't smile once since he had last seen Edward. He had quickly gone up through the ranks again and was now a lt. Colonel in the Amestris military.'not that it matters now, of course' Roy thought to himself. But at the time, Unlike before, where he would not use his alchemy because it reminded him of Edward, he was using it at every chance he got because it was the only thing he had to remember Ed by.
Al had been one of the first people to be infected by the disease. He supposed it was plausible he did, after all, have direct contact with the ship. He wondered how Ed would feel knowing that his only brother, the brother he had sacrifice his life for was dead. He imagined it would hurt a great deal though he, being an only child and thus having no siblings, knew he could not possibly fathom the pain of losing a sibling it would most likely be like losing Hughes was to him.
Roy shuddered, those brothers had already lost so much and here life comes to tear away more happiness from their lives. He swore, if it was the last thing he did, that he would find the Elder Elric brother and make his life the best it could be. For he loved the blond. Loved him so much that to be away from him hurt so badly he thought his heart would burst.
So he had done as Riza had instructed and used her dying body to open the gate to this world. The gate had closed upon him going through it leaving him stranded in the middle of nowhere. But, after about an hour of walking he had come across a city. And now, after asking many people if they knew Edward Elric, he was now standing in front of a tall imposing building. There was no turning back now.
--------------------------------------
Edward Elric sighed as he heard the knock on the door. It was probably one of those door to door sails men again. Why did he have to be the one who always answers the door. Pulling his goggles up on to his forehead he grumbled as he walked to the door. Then he opens the door with a loud " What do you want, I'm- " though he never gets to finish his sentance before he sees the person at the door.
"hello, Hagane no"
Ed tentatively reached out a hand to touch him as if he would disappear at any second. When his hand met with the flesh of Roy's face he smiled and reached up and pulled him into a kiss. After that Roy just held Ed close, tears rolling down both of their faces and a genuine smile on Ed's . They where together at last.
Because maybe some stories do have a happy ending.

just so you know Roy does not have the plauge. He is not going to die any time soon. Originaly I had planned on having Al go with roy through the gate but then I got the idea for the Ending in my mind and there was no room for Alphonse.
