All the Words Written

Years after the events of Brotherhood, Edward and Roy have given into romance and are now living together. While trying to make the place a little tidier, Ed finds some letters from Roy to him that he's never seen before…and they remind him that he has some unsent letters of his own. Slow burn.

42. Chapter 42

Dear Edward,

As would be expected, I am under constant surveillance. I grow weary of stepping on eggshells, and yet at the same time I cannot deny there is some excitement in it all as well. Like a good chess match, sometimes the most satisfying moves are executed with discretion.

Lieutenant Hawkeye is also being watched. Unluckily for our foes, my team can always find a way to communicate covertly. Unluckily for us, what she had to tell me was…disturbing, to say the least.

As you are aware, Fuhrer Bradley is a homunculus. It turns out his son, Selim Bradley, is one as well.

I was shocked when I decoded her message. If anyone but the Lieutenant (or you yourself) had told me, I would have thought them mistaken. However, I trust her to have nothing but the most up to date and accurate intel.

A child homunculus. This Father character is creative, I'll give him that. Who would suspect a kid of being wrapped up in all this? Of being inhuman?

That means there's two of them watching me, now. Twice the trouble, but I still like those odds.

Yours,

Roy
