Ed kicked open the door in his usual manner; the office barely taking notice to his entrance. He continued through the second set of doors, closing them after walking through.
"Hello Fullmetal." Roy kept his glance on his papers, already knowing why Edward was there.
"You! Mr. Colonel Bast-" Ed cut himself off as he lurched forward in pain.
Roy looked up; seeing Ed's position and stood up from his seat at the desk. Placing his pen down next to an open file he had been looking at. "Are you alright, Fullmetal?"
Ed coughed into his hand as Roy slowly moved closer to him. When he saw crimson droplets he quickly shoved his hand into his pocket, already knowing what would happen next. He spoke angrily at the man, knowing he had to get out of his office "What's it to you?" Ed attempted to stand up right, but hunched over further as he gripped his arms around his chest and on his back.
Roy flinched as he knelt down to the blond and Ed un-gripped a hand from his back and onto Roy's jacket. His eyes in awe as something burst through the several layers of fabric on Edward's back
Wings ...two of them. Large fluttering wings, and as soon as they escaped Ed's body, Ed seemed more relaxed at the pain that they were causing him. Roy eyed them carefully, letting the details of them fill his mind. One crafted of cold metal, the other of pure white with crimson edges. Roy reached out to the white wing, before Ed recoiled away.
"Don't touch me!" Edward yelled and he inched away from Roy. Roy stood up straight, yet moved closer to the alchemist. "Get the fuck away from me!" Roy ignored the yelling as Ed inched away to the wall in the back. A stiff hand gripped Ed's arm leaving Ed unaware as what to do or feel.
"What happened to you? And don't worry if you want me to keep it secret, I will. Though I don't know how I can explain the wings." Roy said, adding a slight sarcasm to the last bit. He saw Ed smile at it and it made Roy feel better that at least the blond wasn't telling him to go away still. "How long will they be there?"
"They go away after a little while. I'm surprised you couldn't figure that out on your own. You must be as idiotic as I always say you are." Ed remarked sarcastically.
"Harsh." Roy said, pretending to be saddened. "I have questions if I can get answers." Ed was distracted in thoughts of what to do as he stood up and moved over to the couch. He sat down and began to rub one of the small feathers that had fallen off between his flesh fingers. Roy waited several minutes for Ed to come back to reality, when he didn't, Roy got annoyed. "Fullmetal!"
Ed's head snapped to attention. "What?!"
"You could respond when I'm talking to you." Roy barked at him.
"Sorry, but I was waiting for you to actually ask something." Ed barked back, the anger in his tone slightly higher then he had tried to get.
"Fine. I'll ask." Roy laid his shoulders on the desk, knitting his fingers together. "Has anyone else seen them and if so...who?"
"It's not like I go and show them off to people," Ed remarked. He really didn't expect anyone to ever see them. He only wished them had never been created.
"I didn't think you would. But it doesn't seem like you have much control over it." Roy commented, though a hidden concern found it's way into his words and it scared Ed.
'He doesn't care, and he shouldn't. No one should care what happens to me...not even Al.' Ed deeply thought that, but in reality...deep down, he wanted someone to care for him; he just didn't know it yet.
"Fullmetal?"
"Yeah Colonel Bastard?"
"I still have more questions." Roy stated as he watched Ed relax against the couch. The wings still fluttering above the top of the couch. "When did it happen?"
"When did what happen?" Ed asked back, slightly confused.
"When did you go through whatever happened to cause your wings?" Roy asked, making it clear as to what he was asking.
"A year, maybe two." Ed responded. "I don't really remember when."
Roy eyed him carefully, just the way a commanding officer would a subordinate. "Do you remember how?"
'How could I forget?' A tortured yell escaped Ed's lips, he felt blood on his skin. Though he was so lost in thought he couldn't decipher who's it was. "Damn you..why the hell are you doing this?" He felt another stab of pain at his back and seized at the tremor that shot through his body.
"Because I always wanted to see my chibi-san as an angel. Can't have an angel without wings." Envy smirked his usual Cheshire cat grin as he trailed a finger across Ed's chin, before letting it linger on the blond's lips.
If Ed had not been so distracted by the ripping pain he felt, he would have done something, be it hurt too much at the time to do anything. And now he was distracted in it's memory.
"Fullmetal." He kept saying that name, though maybe it was fault to Ed spacing out so much on him.
"Yes I remember, why?" Ed asked, wondering, just what it had to do with reversing what happened to him.
"Cause if you know how you know who did it and it can help me finding a way to change it back. And because I don't plan on letting whoever did this to you off with a simple good bye."
"Oh so you actually give a rats ass. I wonder if this is your end, caring for me, the brat that's run over the rules delibritly for years. It'd be a worthy end for the great Flame Alchemist wouldn't it." He chuckled at Roy's kind-ness, finding it to be a lie when it wasn't. "Well, you're too late, he's already dead." And Ed's mind drifted to the memory of him killing Envy.
"But you're mine...you can't kill me." The circle that had captured Envy, placed deep underground. The sins home, and his grave. He did say he always liked the sound of that. (From when Ed was in Youswell)
Ed got up, walking back to ground level an to his shared dorm with his brother, who now held a human form. He felt a whisper trail his lips as it released into the cold night air of winter.
"You were never anything to me. I'll probably sleep better with you dead."
His mind whispered back to him. "Liar."
Ed turned as he saw Roy getting up from his desk once more. His mouth moving and making words, but he couldn't hear them. He couldn't head anything; and all he could feel was blood making it's way through his cloths. He'd forgot to tell Roy this happened when his wings went back in but..oh well. He'd talk to him when he woke up, however long that took.
Well there is another story. The main plot is eventual EdRoy, but it kinda floats to Edvy every now and then. And just cause I wrote his death scene doesn't mean anything, I plan to have scattered flashbacks in this fic. Hope you like, I like this story despite it's shortness. (hehe ..short)
