A/N: Konnichiwa, minna-san! Hope you are having as good a week as I am! My SLE teacher didn't demolish my first paper, and said I have a clear writing style, so I am very happy about that. And I get to post bittersweet flangst! As you may have picked up on by now, I have a thing for a) glass/mirrors, b) angsty stranger-sex, and c) sleeping/nightmare scenes, so I'm always happy when I get to use one of those. I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: If I owned FMA, I certainly wouldn't still be in college, fretting over papers of doom


Observation

Ed's favorite time of day is the very early morning, just before the sun rises, just before the alarm clock goes off. He loves those few seconds when he is awake and Roy is still sleeping beside him. He loves to watch him sleep, and see his face, for once, free of anger and defensiveness and hurt, see him look peaceful and innocent as he never does when awake.

Roy's favorite time of the day is late at night, when Ed has already fallen asleep, and he is still awake, and he can watch him sleeping, so peaceful and innocent.


A/N: thank you to everyone who reviewed the last few chapters! You guys are made of win!
