Fandom: FullMetal Alchemist
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Roy, Ed, Roy/Ed if you squint
Category: Angst/Romance
Rating: PG for mild swearing. Exceedingly mild swearing.
Word Count: I cheated. It's only 90 words.
Challenge: Written for crystaltear's request for Roy/Ed as part of the drabble meme.

Notes: I thought it'd take me forever to write this. But it just popped into my head this morning when I was trying to think of what would work for a Meroko drabble and not having much success. Whee!

Disclaimer: FMA belongs to Arakawa Hiromu-sensei, but I'd steal it if I could.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THE FMA MOVIE


It wasn't that Roy didn't constantly think of how Edward was doing on the other side of the gate. It was that he tried his hardest not to. Because he knew that if he started to agonize over the fact that he'd probably never see Edward again, as the gate had been destroyed (partially by his own hands), he'd begin to spiral back into the well of depression he'd been dragged into the first time Edward had disappeared.

And damned if he was ever going to give FullMetal that satisfaction.
