This is a sequel to 'Eyes' (number 6) and features Pride!Ed from Bluebird's Illusion.

The First Frost: Don't waste your time travel mechanism! I'm progressing – and you can hardly claim I update slowly XD I'm glad you're enjoying these oneshots as much as I am. Thanks for reviewing!

D4ncingD4wn: I shouldn't enjoy making people cry so much…but I do :3 I'm glad you're enjoying these oneshots, even if you're not an Edvy fan…I seem to be getting a lot of readers who don't like or think about the pairing, that's odd. Can't think of why :P But yeah, there'll be more with other characters, since I write a LOT of Edvy. I've got plans for Roy, Winry and Lust so far. Thanks for reviewing!

27. Numb

I don't remember anything.

It's just blank.

I'm just numb.

He stands in front of me, mouth twisted in a sneer. "For fuck's sake, say something, you useless piece of shit!"

I can't remember how to speak.

This has been going on since I was born – reborn – created. He'll turn to look at me, and he'll look happy for a moment.

Happy. I remember happy. (fields of green eyes of gold hair of brown)

Then his face falls, and he'll do something to punish me. Slap me. Hit me. Stab me. Rape me.

I can't feel any of it.

I don't remember who he wants me to be.

I'm just numb.
