I disclaim.

"Ed! Ed, please wait!"
Roy had dashed after Edward as quickly as a drunk man could, which was surprisingly quick in his case. But the sight of Edward in such a state, knowing he had done it and afraid of what the blond would do, had sobered him up quite quickly. They had just made it outside the dorms and were standing on the lawn outside, rain pouring around them. He reached out and tried to grab Ed by the arm before he got too far but had it yanked out of his grip.
"Go away Roy! You've done enough!"
"Edward, you're over reacting--!"
"Am I Roy? Oh I'm so sorry that I'm upsetting you!"
"What the hell is wrong with you? It was just a few drinks--!"
"You promised!" yelled Ed. "But once again, I take the backseat!"
"Oh, you're one to be talking about taking backseats! What happens when Al comes back to visit from the Rockbells?! Who takes backseat then?!"
"That is so not the same Roy, and you damn well know it!" yelled Ed.
"What's the real problem here Ed? What's got a stick up your ass?" asked Roy, suddenly sounding breathless and tired.
"What do you see when you look at me Roy?"
"What?" asked Roy, confused. "I see… you, why?"
"No Roy, what do you see? Do you see the past, just the present… or do you see a future," said Ed, choking towards the end despite himself.
Roy didn't answer. What was he supposed to say? What was Edward trying to get at?
"I… I don't know…"
Ed laughed cynically and tearfully. "If you don't know, then what the hell are we doing here?"
A deadly silence met this announcement, interrupted only by the storm raging around them and through them.
"I don't know," said Roy finally.
Ed threw up his hands before letting them fall back in defeat, then began walking back towards the dorms.
As he passed, he muttered, "No wonder you could never say you loved me."
Then as he yanked open the entrance he paused, "So much for our happy ending," he said, and then he slammed the door without looking back.

So, should I continue this? If I do, it'll be from Mustang's perspective next. Is it worth it? Thanks for reading!
A-Ed
