Thank You

words: 165


Edward's head sagged tiredly against Roy's shoulder as the man carried him piggy back. His cheek pressing against the fabric of the older man's uniform jacket. The fabric was rough and bit into his scraped cheek so much that he couldn't help but wince now and again. Ed's arm was missing: Nothing more than pieces of scrap metal and spare bolts now.

The blood running down his shoulder blade and side from a particularly nasty gash across his flesh shoulder was starting to irritate him. Despite all that...

Ed rubbed his face against Roy's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you."

Roy's head tipped forward a fraction in a nod, though his pace never changed or stopped. It wasn't a particularly comfortable pace and every jolt made his wounds ache more, but Ed couldn't bring himself to care.

Roy was there for him, helping him back after he'd been beaten and broken and that was all that really matter.

Despite the weariness that assaulted him, Ed smiled.
