A/N: Back again, and sorry for the delay - underestimated the degree to which my last week at home would be crazy hectic, and then I was traveling, and then the quarter was starting...but anyway, back. And this drabble was mostly because I wanted an excuse to use the phrase 'opened like a flower'. But character parallels are fun too. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I did own it, I'd have had to sell it to the bookstore already. They already have all my money...
Mask
Roy always believed that Ed was open with his emotions. But one day he realized that this just wasn't true; Ed kept his heart masked as much as he did, but while he hid in cold aloofness, Ed hid in anger, bravado, stoicism. He realized this when he had Ed underneath him for the first time and he opened like a flower – he moaned and gasped and screamed and begged and a thousand emotions, from fear to ecstasy, flickered across his face.
He couldn't believe that Ed trusted him enough to let him see him unmasked, even for a moment.
