Ghosts...

Ghosts of the past...

Haunting him...

Taunting him...

Teasing him...

Telling him how much he did wrong.

It hurt him.

So much...

"Leave me alone.." the blackhaired Sin whispered, clutching his head, eyes shut tightly. "It wasn't my fault... I-I..." he stuttered, body trembling.

'But weren't you the one who foolishly merged together with Sloth? Wasn't it your fault she is gone now? Were you not the one who made sure that Edward boy could turn her into Ethanol?'

The voice, sneering, mocking, taunting. "Stop it.. It wasn't... It wasn't..." he choked out. But he knew it was. He had been reckless, and that turned into Sloth's death. Thanks to Wrath, the Elric boy got rid of her.

Thank to Wrath.

Sloth was gone.

Why did he always do so many things wrong? "Why..." the boy whimpered, sniffling softly. "And Envy put me--"

'Oh no, Envy didn't put you in front of that Gate. That was all your own doings too. You were the one who were foolish enough to try out a transmutation, Dante summoned the Gate. And Envy just barely got away from it.'

"Shut up!" Wrath screamed to his inner demons, stomping a foot on the ground, tears threatening to fall.

So many things.

So many things he had done wrong.

They kept haunting him.

Spinning around in his mind.

They wouldn't leave him.

"Sorry..." he whimpered.

'Sorry's not enough. You know that. Sorry'll never be enough.'

"All I wanted... Was someone to care.. Someone that cared for me..." the child whimpered.

'You blew it up.'

"I never meant to..."

'It still happened.'

The child fell silent and slid down the wall, clutching his head and hiding his head on his knees, choking back a sob.

It still happened... And he couldn't change it. Never.

The door creaked open and two orbs of blue peeked inside, saddening at the sight of the young boy, curled up against the wall, his body racking with sobs and whimpers. "Wrath?" she asked softly, walking over to him and crouching down, putting a hand on his shoulder.

At the touch, the boy stirred and jolted his tear stained face up, blinking a few times before looking away, quickly rubbing his eyes.

"It's okay to cry..." Winry said softly, pulling him into a hug, though the boy struggled for a invane second before giving in and burying his head on her shoulder. "Shht.. Everything will come out fine... I promise." the girl stated.

Wrath sniffed a few times before finally pulling up his head, looking at her intently before looking away with a nod. "... Hai..." he whispered, slowly standing up. "Winry-san..." he muttered. "Thank you..." he added, shivering but slightly. He would keep her words in mind. He would.

It's okay to cry...
