    Summary

    “Yeah.” Ed exhales it, and he seems to have deflated, just a little. He always does that when talks of the Promised Day comes up. “Hey, I think I might have to leave again, actually.”

    *

    Ed's automail is broken and his ports irritated. Uncharacteristically, he immediately takes measures to fix this. And Roy, as always, is steadfast by his side. The dog also helps.

    The "short" and (tooth-rottingly) sweet little exploration of their relationship, Roy's disability, life after the apocalypse and Roy's interaction with Ed's family in Resembool.

    Summary

    “Roy,” Ed gurgles. His voice is raspy and his voice sounds wet and Roy knows it’s because his lungs are filling with blood. “I’m— I just— I tried to—”

    “I know, my dear, I know,” Roy whispers, and he’s crying too now, tears rolling down his cheeks and making the graze on his cheek sting. It doesn’t matter.

    Nothing matters right now. Nothing, apart from Ed.

    “You were just trying to protect the people you love.”

    Summary

    He wraps his arms around Roy and holds on, rests the side of his head in between Roy’s shoulder blades. “It’ll be okay. We’ll get through this, too. One day, I’m sure, you’ll learn to swim and you’ll no longer feel like you’re drowning.”

    Summary

    “Clearly,” Roy says drily. “So your day was nothing out of the ordinary, then.”

    Summary

    There hadn’t been a question as to why Roy as there: he was Edward’s superior officer and the person responsible for Ed’s sick leave, and besides, the one responsible for filing the documents that would ensure that the military would pay for the hospital stay and health expenses.

     

    In reality, however, Roy had come there for one selfish reason; he needed to see if Ed was really still alive, really still with him. He had needed to see the injuries for himself to calm his brain down from screaming at the worst moments that Edward surely was dead, even though he had been brought back to Central two days ago.

    Summary

    Havoc starts talking and then Ed realises why the office has been so quiet the last— hour? —He stares at Havoc, trying to figure out what he’s saying based on how his mouth moves. He can lip read, and that’s not the issue. The problem is that he’s become so used to having his ears working with his eyes to pick up speech, but now— all of a sudden, it’s gone again.

    Why, godfuck-why did his hearing aids have to break today, of all days?

    Alameda
    [al-uh-mey-duh]

    noun
    1. a public walk shaded with trees.

    ~*~

    “I think it’s a lovely word,” Roy says at last, and it does kinda sound like he means it and what the fuck is the honesty doing to Ed’s heart?

    “I think you’re lovely,” Ed says before his brain catches up to what he’s said and he turns bright red. Goddammit, why does his brain always run off like some rabies-infected cow on crack and he can’t reign it back in until it’s too late?

    “I’ve gotta go undercover. Next week,” Ed says, deciding that dropping the bomb right away will do just as much damage as gently placing it on the ground before detonating it. “As a girl.”

    Summary

    He reaches out, feels for any wetness on those gorgeous cheeks; looks for any puffy skin that would tell him the reason of being woken up this late during the working week.

    There's nothing, and his heart immediately settles back in his chest, because Roy is okay
