A/N: Okay, so, AP exam scores finally came out, and I am still in a state of stunned disbelief. I GOT A FIVE ON THE CALC BC EXAM!!!! How the hell did that happen?!?!?! I mean really, that's insane. I barely passed that class with a B. Clearly the fabric of reality has been horribly warped. I also got 5s on the Macroecon, Govt, Psych, Stats, and Lit exams, and the AB Calc subscore, and 4s on the Physics C E&M and Mech tests. This is good. Very very good. So I have a nice, upbeat, Roy-falls-in-love drabble for you. I don't believe in love at first sight with them...Ed was 11/12, so it's kind of icky...and I like the idea of Roy realizing, hey, at some point this kid I knew grew up and acquired a brain and a body to die for. And I know that the first time Roy saw Ed was in Risembool, but you can only get so much of an impression of someone when they're unconscious after having several key limbs ripped off. Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: Who knows. If the world is enough of a strange and twisted place that I got a 5 on the AP Calc exam, maybe I really do own FMA.
Grown-Up
Roy had never been interested in Ed, had always looked at him and seen only the same brash, arrogant child he first saw in the train station. But one night the two of them sat in a bar, side by side, talking over drinks; Ed threw his head back, his hair catching the light, Roy saw, and in that instant, everything changed. All at once a stranger sat beside him, with an adult's face and voice and expressions.
What was more disconcerting than realizing that somehow Ed had grown up, though, was realizing that he was in love with him.
A/N: Thank you a ton to everyone who reviewed last chapter! You get a cookie! And you kept the Russian in my head from getting more paranoid. And anyone who can tell me what my Inner Grammarian's name is, I'd really appreciate it, cause she won't tell me, and I need to talk to her.
