A/N: Hey-o, this is me, being emo for a variety of reasons, including all my friends leaving the state for college (or in Envy's case starting classes at least, since she's only a senior) and the fact that I am utterly failing at writing a Remus Lupin lemon. It's much harder than it looks. Oh well...such is life. Anyway, the idea for this drabble came from a Gundam fic where Quatre liked to try to jump off balconies, staircases, etc, in a suicidal way so that Trowa would catch him. I decided to make it metaphorical - cause Ed does take a lot of risks and do some impulsive things, and one could get the impression that he's suicidal.
Disclaimer: I own Cloud Strife. And Naruto. Cause I bought plushies! Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money left for Ed.
Impulse
People call Ed self-destructive, and he doesn't think they understand the impulse that keeps driving him to the edge. He lives for the moment when the ground falls away beneath him. The moment when there's only the beating of his heart, the rush of the wind. The moment when life and death are, briefly, out of his control. But he doesn't think about hitting the ground; he also lives for the moment when he feels Roy's hand clutching his, keeping him from going over.
He does wonder how far he will fall, someday, when Roy isn't there to catch him.
A/N: Reviews would be appreciated, as they help drag me out of boring emo-ness. And by the way, I finally started using my livejournal - at the moment it's just random muttering about nothing, but I'd like to start putting my fics up there - not to the exclusion of but a back-up, and some of the stuff I don't/can't post here, like lemons. Check it out if you want - link on my profile.
