Running Water

She loves him as she loves the sunlight, the breeze on her skin, the sound of running water. She loves him for the steady home he gives her. She loves him for the constant variety he brings to her life. She loves him for his excitable nature and the way he talks so much. She loves him for his silences and the way he listens. She loves him for the way he can always calm her, and how sensible and reasonable he is. She loves him for getting spitting angry on her behalf, and for always standing up for her. She loves how trustworthy and reliable he is, and how well she knows him. She loves how he always finds a way to surprise her. She loves how shy he is. She loves his honesty. She loves how reliable and stable he is. She loves how he never takes her for granted. She loves him for loving her. She would sacrifice the world for him.

Author's notes: The companion piece to "Boundless".

I wasn't planning on uploading these two for a while, but today I finally managed to order a truckload of FMA merchandise. Yesssss! God bless the internet! So, I uploaded these to celebrate. Don't ruin my happiness by failing to review, will you? D:
