Roy Mustang glanced at the younger man in his office. Edward Elric looked upset about something. "Trouble with Winry?" He asked.
"Why should you care?" came the reply.
"I can tell," he said, leaning on his desk. "Let me guess, you can't tell her."
"I'm afraid to," Ed said, hanging his head. "She'll hit me with her wrench."
Roy chuckled. "Listen, boy, I don't wanna see you let a good thing slip away. You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made."
Edward frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"She's a really nice girl and she's always there for you, but a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do." Ed snorted but Roy continued. "Listen, boy, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control. You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul. You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go but that's just the kind of thing she ought to know."
"How?"
Roy smirked. "Tell her about it. Tell her everything you feel. Tell her about it. Give every reason to accept that you're for real. Tell her about it. Tell her all your crazy dreams. Let her know you need her. Let her know how much she means."
"Stop," said Edward. "Okay, I'll tell her."
"Now, Fullmetal," Roy was completely serious.
"Now?" The golden haired man whined.
"Yes. Tell her about it. Tell her how you feel right now. "
"I wish I could have asked General Hughes instead."
Roy scowled at him. "Tell her now and you won't go wrong. You got to tell her about it before it gets too late. You got to tell her about it. You know the girl don't want to wait."
Edward sighed, stood up and left just to get away from his singing.
