A/N: Just a sweet little drabble. I got this image yesterday morning of a child grabbing the chin of an adult, forcing them to look at them, and that reminded me of Ed. So I wrote this during my history class.

Innocence

He had thought that innocence had abandoned Edward Elric. He knew of the horrors the boy had seen in his early years; Mustang assumed that this had forced him to become an adult faster than anyone he'd ever known.

And it had.

But he hadn't counted on the hesitation evident in the blonde's movements as he placed his hands on either side of Mustang's face. The man was surprised by the chasteness of the kiss, and yet... the innocence... the purity... made Edward even more endearing to him.

And Mustang knew that innocence still existed within him.
