Timeline: 15 years after the promised day
Outline: Roy decides to give his best friend an update on the world around him.
A sigh escaped his lips as he took a seat crossleggedly across from the grave stone. The stone was chopped in places and the ink inside the engraved letters beginning to fade, but it was still nice.
"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" He asked, looking to the sky where the sun shone brilliantly and there were barely any clouds to hide under.
"It was beautiful last Sunday too. It wasn't at all compared to Elicia though. The dress was gorgeous and she had pretty white pearls wrapped in her hair" he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and looked at it for a moment before setting it by the stone.
"She asked me to walk her down the aisle. I hope you don't mind. I figured you wouldn't want her to walk alone"
Roy smiled faintly. "I have a feeling you would have liked this guy too. The way he looks at her is like she's a goddess. It was endearing to see.
"And Gracia is doing well. She was knitting the other day when I visited her. She said it was a blanket for Alphonse's first born. Mai is nearly eight months now. It's kinda weird to see the boys married and with kids now, you know? I mean, it seems just yesterday Ed was a rowdy teenager with height issues and Alphonse was a small voice in a big body, but now their grown and doing well.
"They said they were planning on coming over to visit us sometime after the baby is born. I'm looking forward to it. It's been too long"
Roy sighed and leaned back on his arms. "There's talk that Grumman will be retiring soon and that I'll be next appointed. I hope so. It'd be a great change of pace with Ishval being rebuilt. Speaking of Ishval, Scar settled down too. She's a pretty young girl. He changed his name too. It was something in his native tongue, I can't ever pronounce it, but it's good that he's…well, you know.
"Riza's doing great. She seems to finally be getting used to being a stay at home mom. I sometimes wonder if she regrets quitting the military so we could be together. She says no, but it doesn't stop me from wondering. The kids are good. The eldest is already three. And the youngest took her first steps yesterday.
"I still wish you could've been there. At the wedding, I mean. That's okay though, it was only a simple one with our closest friends and family.
"Maes, I know I ask this every time, but do you think you could forgive me? Because I miss you so much and wish you could be here right now"
Roy looked up to the sky. He must've been here at least an hour, if not two.
"Well, Maes, I'll be back soon. Maybe then I can tell you about Alphonse's kid or Elicia's relationship"
Mustang stood, grabbed the photos from next to the stone, placed them in his pocket, and headed back to his vehicle, chuckling at the irony all the way.
