A/N: Hey-o! It's me, back with more drabbley goodness. In this case, angsty drabbley goodness, because I am the undisputed queen of angst. I wrote something happy and fluffy yesterday, and Alphonse, who is nice enough to edit most of my stuff, almost died of shock. No fluff here though! This is one of several drabbles in the Ed-is-married-to-a-non-Roy-female arc - they may or may not be part of the same timeline, I haven't decided. But either way, they are still yaoi, because he was in love with Roy, even though it ended badly. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Although my sock drawer is full of checks I keep getting from random relatives because of graduation, I haven't been able to purchase the rights to FMA yet. Maybe because I have to spend the money on practical stuff I actually need for my dorm room in the fall. Bleh.

In the morning Ed always wakes up first, and as his mind rises slowly back to consciousness the cool beams of light fall across the dark head on the pillow beside him, and there is a brief moment when he can't remember who lies next to him. Then she rolls over, sighing, and he finishes waking up and remembers that it is her beside him, and always has been, and he holds her, whispering loving words.
He tries not to wonder why he is only happy now for the moment he thinks it is not her lying there, but Roy.
A/N: Just so you know, I'm not entirely sure who she is. Maybe Winry...but I feel kind of bad for doing that to her.
