It happened yesterday. It’s all over the news. I came to his apartment and it’s… Court, it’s wiped. Everything’s gone. I’ve been trying to call him, but he’s unreachable.

    I have a really, really bad feeling. I didn’t know what to do.”

    Summary

    Edward didn’t say anything. His eyes stung and his throat burned, but he didn’t move.

    When Roy held out his hand, Ed hesitated for a long time.

    This could be some horrible ploy—some last-ditch effort from his stupid social worker to get him into a house that could deal with him. Roy was a police officer. He was a war veteran. He knew how to get people to do what he wanted.

    On the other hand, Edward knew Roy. He knew how he liked his coffee and that sometimes he liked to procrastinate on his reports and that he liked to shoot goo-goo eyes at Riza. He knew what Ed’s favorite books were, and he knew about Al. He knew, intimately, what Ed went through.

    Ed reached out to grab Roy’s hand.

    Summary

    When Ed used to think of the word home, he thought of green eyes, full of love and humor, and so much care. He thought of warm hands, soft and gentle. He thought of the smell of freshly baked pie and warm soup. He thought of hands running through his hair, a soft voice reading to him quietly while he snuggled up next to Al to sleep.

    Now, when Ed thinks of home, he thinks of a building going up in flames that he started. He thinks of fire crackling wildly but somehow contained. He thinks of the smell of smoke, so strong, finally something strong enough to block out the smell of blood. He thinks of ash, floating through the air and enveloping him, inside and out, so completely that he sneezed out black flecks for days after. He thinks of the sound of armor creaking from one side of him, the sound of sniffling from the other.

    Or, Edward Elric and his feelings about the concept of 'home'.
