Once again they walked in silence for a while stopping only when Ed told Roy to close his eyes. He hesitantly obeyed.
He felt Ed grab his hand and gently lead him through the trees of the forest they were currently walking through. Ed stopped and whispered for Roy to open his eyes.
He gasped in wonder at what hey saw. They were in front of a lake that was completely surround and covered with trees so no light broke through the cover above their heads. They were weeping willows and their leaves were falling down to the ground. There were rocks surrounding it, providing a place to sit or even sit. Soft grass was engulfing the ground. But what was so beautiful was the silver glow surrounding the lake.
Everything seemed silver and it gave the light a silver color. There was no sound except for water droplets falling from the tress and hitting the still surface of the lake. The lake's surface still didn't move though. Roy was amazed at the beauty. Ed chuckled lightly beside Roy and he turned towards him stopping short when he saw his lover.
His normally golden hair and eyes seemed to have turned to silver. They reflected the light of the lake and it made Ed look older then he really did.
"This was my secret place when I was little. No one else knows about except for you. Whenever mom died I needed a place to get away to; a place where no one could stop me from crying or blaming myself. In this place there was no Al to tell me 'I don't blame you brother' or any Winry crying her eyes out for something that didn't concern her. Here I could see what I really was and contemplate all I had done."
Ed confessed. Roy felt honored to say the least. Edward was never the person to rely on anyone yet here was Roy, his lover. Ed never told anybody anything about himself, he never shared secrets with anybody, yet here he was telling Roy about things ever his own brother didn't know.
"I also came here to contemplate my feelings for you." Ed whispered. Roy froze and looked at Ed.
"Every time we came back to Resembool when everyone had gone to sleep I would come here and just think about everything. Yet I always found that I thought about you more then anything. For some reason this place reminds me of you."
His voice was not above a whisper yet Roy could hear the love and emotion in it. He turned to face Ed and brought Ed to face him. He lifted Ed's face and lowered his and brought their lips together.
