Theme: Roy Edward #37: "Distance"
"Lieutenant Hawkeye?"
"Yes, General?"
Roy looked up to the stars. Why were they so much brighter, here in the Briggs Mountains? "How far away is Central?"
"Approximately nine hundred and seventy-four miles, sir. Why do you ask?"
"No... nothing, really."
After a moment's pause, Hawkeye's glare broke down Mustang's resistance. "I was just thinking, Lieutenant... Even when I'm right next to Alphonse, it seems that I'm not actually that close to him. He... keeps holding something back. What could it be?"
"I wouldn't know, sir." Hawkeye's voice was precise, but with just a hint of bitterness. "He's your lover."
