Warnings/Rating: Vague spoilers for first anime series, mild language
Copyrights Disclaimer: Most of these one-shots are based on the manga; thus far this one is the only exception. I do not own Edward Elric or any other characters from FMA (melodramatic sobbing and wailing)
Summary: Surely even murderers harbored some doubts, some form of morals or remorse.
~*REGRETS*~
It was the oddest thing.
Ed had to stifle the instinctive flinch at Scar's touch. He did not blink or allow even the slightest twitch. This was it. There was no one to stop the serial killer from blowing Ed's brains all over the muddy alleyway. And Al - oh Al, Ed's heart twinged, but he let none of his inner pain show on his face - Al would have to watch as his only family was taken away. The younger teen's armor body sang with the vibration of his screams.
But…it was the strangest thing…
Scar's hand was almost tender as he laid on the alchemist's brow, his palm warm and dry as the desert that had reared it. And Ed could've sworn, just before he felt the heat of energy flaring through his killer's skin onto his own, that he felt the slightest tremor run through Scar's limb, echoing the Ishbalan's silently shuddering breath.
…It was the damndest thing…
