As slow and numbing as the walk out to the fountain had been, the rush back to the dorms was anything but. Upon entering he immediately started jumping stairs upward, the water dripping off of him causing him to slip dangerously a couple of times. But he didn't care, he needed to get to Ed…
Finally he was on the floor and in two seconds he was in front of Ed's door. It was locked. Was he asleep? Good thing he knew where Ed hid a spare with his alchemy. A quick circle and… voila!
He slid the key in quietly and opened the door…
Ed was curled up in a ball, almost lost amongst the mounds of blankets piled on the bunk. Occasionally a streak of lightning would light up the room and glint off a mop of golden locks, the only visible part of Ed.
Roy smiled at the sight. He had always loved to watch Ed sleep. It was the one time he could see the premature lines of Ed's face relax. And when they did, sometime Roy couldn't help but think that Ed was perhaps a fallen angel sent down to save this lonely sinner from himself. How could he have possibly forgotten… how could he not imagine…
He stepped into the room and closed the door softly behind him before walking over to sit on the edge of the bed. Finally Ed seemed to realize that someone else was in the room with him and turned to see Roy sitting on the bed, smiling down at him.
"Bastard, what are you—?"
"Shh…" said Roy, laying a finger to Ed's lips, but Ed jerked back.
"Roy, you're soaked and freezing! Are you trying to make youself sick? What are you—Hey! You're wet!" whined Ed as Roy laid down next to him and wrapped his arms around the blond.
"Hey! I asked you, what do you think—"
"You fall asleep too quickly."
"Wha—what?" asked a dumbfounded Ed. What was Roy talking about?
"The reason why you've never heard me say 'I love you' is because you fall asleep too quickly. I say it every night as we lay down to sleep, even when we fight. But I guess you've never been awake to hear it."
Ed was stunned to silence.
"As for our 'happy ending,'" said Roy, curling closer to Ed. "So long as I can look into the future and know I'll still be fighting you for pillow rights, I'll be content."
"Roy…" said Edward, barely trusting his voice.
"I know I don't deserve you, and I'm sorry for anything and everything I've done to make you question me, or rather us. But please, if you could find it in you to just give me one more—"
He was interrupted as Edward turned around and captured his mouth in a silencing kiss.
As he pulled away from a stunned Roy, Ed grinned and said, "Shut up."
Slowly a small smile came to Roy's lips and he softly returned the kiss.
"Thank you," he said.
"But don't think you're getting away with this. Tomorrow we're finding you some help, and we'll discuss a… suiting punishment," Ed smiled deviously in a way that had Roy groaning and burying his face in the pillow.
"And get out. You're wet. There's towels in the closet."
Roy sighed but did as he was told. He also grabbed the extra toothbrush he had left over during his last stay in Ed's dorm. When he came back Ed was already back to being fast asleep, breathing lightly through his mouth. Roy smiled as he laid a towel down over the wet spot from earlier then curled up around his better half.
"Goodnight, and I love you," Roy whispered.
Then he too fell into a deep sleep.

A/N: I guess I could have kept this to myself and waited till I got more reviews, but shortly after I posted the last one I went to class and I had this story stuck in my mind and the blood for it was flowing in my veins… so I spent the lecture and lunch writing it (while also paying attention, but it's a simple class). So now this story is complete… for the moment. You never know though, b/c as we all know, it takes more than one night to work through a relationship's problems. I can tell you for certain however, that there will be a sort-of sequel to this called 'Alcoholics Anonymous' only it will be humor instead of drama.
And yes, I know the ending might suck, but I can't help it… I like at least a semi-happy ending.
And look! I even managed to tie in the title so it actually makes sense! Even the title was completely seperate from the original intent of this fic (which was supposed to be a oneshot)!
