This is mostly focused on Elysia, but at the end hints of RoyEd. Not much but it does.

Roy smiled as Gracia continued to apologize before leaving Elysia and himself at the door. She ran to her car, instantly getting in and driving off. Roy stepped aside from the door so Elysia could walk into his apartment.

Currently, Elysia was 13 years old, yet due to central being central, Gracia was very overprotective of her daughter and had decided that Roy watch her as she had to go to Elysia's school for several hours for a meeting with the teachers.

Roy on the other hand had been glad to take the girl for the few hours and always enjoyed visits by the now teenage daughter of his old friend Maes who could no longer brag about his great daughter.

"Hi, Uncle Roy." Elysia finally stated, bowing lightly to Roy. Roy returned the gesture as he helped Elysia remove her jacket.

Elysia saw the cat on the floor, and instantly bent down to pet it. "What's his name? I don't remember you having a cat."

"Edward." Elysia flinched slightly at that, but continued to pet the cat. Elysia knew of Edward, but only cause kids at her school on occasion would talk about how great he was, but Elysia had been the only one of them to know Edward Elric. Only one to share the same birthday as well. So whenever they decided to honor Ed on his birthday, few remembered hers.

Elysia lowered her head, as the cat walked away. Roy bent down, thinking she might start crying. "Why would you name your cat that?"

"Edward was an important person to me, as well the cat on occasion can be very short-tempered."

"Who was Edward anyway? Mom never tells me anything anymore, and all I hear is stuff about how great he was." Elysia said, as tears began to fall down her cheek. She hated the fact that she shared her birthday with someone who apparently was so magnificent but had gone AWOL years ago.

Roy reached his arm out to Elysia and gently motioned for her to sit at the couch with him. "Edward...Edward was a great person, et at the same time he was selfish." Elysia looked up at Mustang with surprise. No one ever told her anything about him that wasn't good.

"You don't remember him at all do you?" Roy asked, knowing Elysia and Edward had met on several occasions. Elysia shook her head and Roy sighed.

"Well, Ed had come to central, trying to get back something he'd lost. And he had his brother with him constantly. The two rarely left each other's sides. And on his birthday, your dad had invited him over your house. That was the day you were born. Ed had been there, he'd actually helped out your mom."

"Several years later is when everything that could have gone wrong in their lives did. Ed ended up sacrificing himself for his brother and ended up being lost to the world."

"I thought you said he was selfish?"

"He was. He didn't sacrifice himself because that's what Al had wanted. He'd done it for his own promise to his brother."

"A few years after that, he'd come back. But there was a huge battle going on all over Amestris. A lot of people blame him for it, but at the same time, he saved everyone. That's where we lost Alphonse as well." Elysia's eyes softened and she reached out to hold onto Mustang. Roy slightly surprised by the embrace, took several moments before wrapping his arms around the girl. Elysia had known Al, and she did remember a few stories Al would tell from their early childhood.

Elysia continued crying, thinking about how much of an idiot she'd been. Even if Edward hadn't been such a hero everyone said he was, she had known him, and now she knew just a little more of the one who shared a birthday with her.

Several hours later, Gracia knocked on the door, and by then Elysia had fallen asleep on Roy's lap. Roy gentle woke her up and the teen rubbed at her eyes sleepily.

"Sorry if she was any trouble." Gracia stated and Roy shook his head.

"None at all." Roy replied as he gave his goodbyes.

"Hey Uncle Roy?"

"Yes Elysia."

"Is it okay if I come over next week to hear more about Edward?" She asked nervously. Roy smiled softly and nodded. Gracia looked over at Roy worried. She knew how close the two had been, and she worried for Roy.

"Don't worry, Gracia it's fine. Talking about loved ones helps every now and then." Roy replied and waved off the two as Gracia finally managed to get Elysia off Roy's front step. Roy waved before walking into the house and closing the door.

Roy leaned his head against the door, feeling a tear roll down one side of his face. "I know you told me never to tell her about you. But she deserves to know."

This is a sad little comfort fic for Elysia. Sorry if it doesn't flow right, it was kinda rushed. I just did this for the hell of it, no reason really.

Hope you enjoy, I love reviews.
