Pairing: Roy x Ed
Summary: Roy got drunk and says nice things about Ed
Notes: When people get drunk, they tend to talk rubbish, or say things that they usually don't say. That's the idea that got me writing this drabble.
FMA Drabble 27:
Drunk
Roy was drunk. Ed was quite sure of this, because the man was spluttering gibberish and walking in zig-zags, knocking into people and lamp poles alike.
Ed sighed. It was so like Roy to get so drunk just from going out with Havoc, Falman and Hughes for a drink. Furthermore, the raven-haired Colonel had not even gotten past his fourth glass of alcohol. None of the others were even slightly drunk.
"Just my luck." Ed muttered to himself as he moved over and caught his taller companion before he toppled over into a road-side drain. Gripping the man's arm tightly, Ed led the way back to the Colonel's house, which the two of them shared, plus Alphonse.
Dropping Roy rather unceremonially onto their shared bed, the teen looked into his younger brother's bedroom, and was glad to see that the boy was fast asleep. Satisfied, he returned to his room, only to find that Roy had rolled off the bed onto the floor.
Muttering darkly under his breath, Ed moved over and lifted, with some difficulty, the apparently unconcious man back onto the bed. When he tried to move away, he found that the man had wrapped an arm around his waist without him noticing. Ed tried to pull Roy's hand off him, but it only resulted in the opposite - the man tightened his hold on Ed.
"I love you Ed."
Ed stopped when he heard Roy mumble those words. Although the two of them had already been in a relationship together for several months, both of them would say these words so rarely to each other that every time it happened, there would would be a sense of surprise.
"Being with you has made me happier than I've ever been." Roy continued. Ed looked closely at the man's faced, but saw no sign that could indicate that Roy was awake. Yet the man continued speaking.
"I love the way you talk, the way you move, and even the way you eat."
Although Ed knew that there was no one else around to listen to Roy's muttering, he still felt rather embarassed about it. Roy rarely said so many nice things about him, all at once.
"I don't know what I'll do without you, Ed."
He must be dreaming, the teen concluded, blushing a little. About me too.
He gave up trying to get away from the sleeping man, and snuggled closer into the embrace instead.
"I love you Ed" Roy murmured once more.
Ed smiled.
"I love you too, Roy." The teen said softly as he closed his eyes.
Thus, he did not see the smile that had appeared on Roy's face when he had said those words.
END
Notes: Whether Roy is really that drunk and asleep or not... you decide. Please, please, do review, or I'll never know if my writing is all right or not.
Add. Notes: Thank you to everyone who has been nice enough to review :)
