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.

46. Chapter 46

Roy,

Is this what it's like to be a normal person? Some part of me enjoys it, but most of me finds all this incredibly dull.

I went shopping at a little farmer's market today. I'm not gonna lie, I can't even remember the last time I did something like that. Surely when I was little my mom took me and Al shopping, but ever since then it's been either Granny and Winry feeding us or buying food at whatever place in whatever town we happen to be in. It felt so strange to just…get some apples.

Do you do this? I know I've been a little spoiled, really, and I'm still young. But I wondered if, being in the military and so busy all the time, if you also just ate at the cafeteria and whatnot. Or do you find time to go out and grab some fresh fish, some nuts, some pie? Do you prefer cake? I don't even know what you like to eat!

I'd never bothered asking those sorts of questions before. Why should I care? But I do. When I can come back, when this is all over, maybe I'll ask you in person.

Hope you're holding down the fort okay.

-Ed
