A/N: I was listening to this song while I was writing this and I cried. Leave the Light on by A Kidnap In Color. Listen to it.


016. Reaching voice & Unreachable with a voice


She had almost lost him. If Edward and Scar hadn't showed up, she would have. The fact had scared her at first, but then she began to relax against it. Fate wouldn't let such a thing happen, for it just wasn't in it's story. Of course she wasn't able to reach him as well as she used to be. This was another fact that scared her. For if he was at the breaking point again, would she be able to reach him in time? Her voice had lost it's strength over time, it only knowing how to say a few words; the two her mouth is formed to using, yes, sir. There were many times when she had been able to reach him, such as when Hughes had died, but this time, it felt like Fate was actually on their side for once, giving her some odd amount of strength to try to reach him. She just prayed to whomever was watching over them, that she could gain strength for his sake.

He felt like she was out of reach. He was fooling himself of course. She was gone, to be at the Fuhrer's side and yet, all it would take is phone call, one simple damn phone call, but he can't bring himself to do it. There are many reasons that he wants to hear her voice. He'll know that she's still breathing and not hurt, for if she was it would be his fault. He had let her follow him to hell. He also likes to hear her same his name because it sounds so perfect that he thinks she'd stayed up all night saying to over and over to get it perfect. Of course when he finally does manage to call her, she won't talk to him. Oh, and how badly he wants her to just say his name and tell him the truth, that she's fine, and mean it. He hears her breathing over the phone and thanks, whomever is up there, that she is because if he lost her voice, his world would be painted black and white. He would hear nothing but the fall of snow.


A/N: If you couldn't tell, I split the theme in two. Riza's part being Reaching Voice and Roy's Unreachable with a voice. At least I think.
