    Summary

    For an articulate man, Roy Mustang suddenly struggled to find the correct words.

    Every variation the Colonel concocted within his head sounded flimsy, harsh, or downright wrong. Unsettled and sick, the silence stretched between them for a handful of heart-clenching beats as suspicious golden eyes narrowed, continuing to sear into Roy’s soul. Realization reared its ugly head and delved a hand right into his chest, poisonous claws digging deep as it whispered odious remarks. He stared at the boy before him, feeling as if he was seeing him for the first time, an entire week’s worth of denial crumbling away.

    This couldn’t be happening, but it was.

    It was happening and he had been willfully blind to it like a pathetic coward. He’d chalked the flush of fever as something as simple as a cold. The same applied to the presumption of mood swings linked to age. Even the odd habits Roy had brushed off as quirks or stress...

    Never once did Roy think something more malicious had been at play, until now.

    "Edward… I don’t think you are very well right now.’’

     

    [Or, the one where Edward takes a little splash and everyone suffers]

    Summary

    Dust still swirls in plumes around them, and he can still feel the shifting of debris as it settles. He sees his friends in only outlines, but their movements are clearly panicked and he still can’t really think but it scares him. His head hurts. His thoughts are like drifting clouds.
    Edward wished the lightheartedness could have lasted, but it never did. He always found a way to smother it.

    -or-

    Edward will never let somebody get hurt when it could be him instead. Roy Mustang just wants to keep the kid from killing himself before he's even a teenager.

    Summary

    Pure Vanilla’s smile never wavered, he slowly stroked his back as he used his other hand to bring it up to his blue hair. “I brought you here for a reason Shadow Milk. I might not be Truthless Recluse anymore, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand you all the same.” Vanilla’s eyes looked down at him endearingly.

    “All I ask is for you to open your heart just a little to me.”

    Pure Vanilla brings Shadow Milk back to his kingdom, but what’s going on with these new dreams?

    Summary

    “Even if that other Cookie is me?”

    Ah. Now Truthless Recluse got what he was getting at. He hadn’t really thought about how Shadow Milk Cookie must have not realized it yet, even now. They are meant to be together.

    He glances away from Shadow Milk Cookie’s sweeping gaze, choosing to look the side instead as peering into Shadow Milk’s mismatched eyes for so long was getting to be too much.

    ”Yes…”

    He glances back at him for a moment, his dully colored eyes glinting with a hint of sincerity.

    “Even if it’s you.”

    Especially because it’s you.
