Pride wasn't a concern anymore. Edward was crying in front of his superior officer and he didn't give a damn.
Mustang hadn't seen this coming. He had never thought of fullmetal to be the emotional type… although he had seen him on the night of the Nina incident.
"I have no one now… Al… My brother, he was… all I had." Ed whispered in between sobs. He found himself clinging to the fabric of Roy's military coat as he spoke.
"I'm all ... alone now." The tears fell harder now as he realized the harsh truth behind those words. Alphonse was his world as strange as that sounds. He had joined the military, for Alphonse, he had traveled all over the country on high hopes and false leads, For Alphonse. And now he sat there, a broken soul with no reason to live, and he cried, for Alphonse.
Ed was brought out of his morbid thoughts by three little words.
"You have me." The words were barely audible, but the blonde had heard them and that's all that mattered. Without thinking, he closed the distance between the colonel and himself with a hug (a/n: yes a hug. Ed's in a fragile state and cannot fulfill your perverted dreams or mine . -)
Mustang was taken aback by this. Again he felt pity tugging at the corners of his heart, but quickly dismissed it. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around Edward, bringing them closer.
"You'll always have me."
