My Heart Beats For You [Edward Elric X Reader]

Prologue

Mother's POV

I then heard crying. A baby crying as it takes it's first breath. My baby girl. She's here. I thought. Tears left my eyes as I saw her beautiful face. My midwife handed me my child. She looked so peaceful. She's perfect. I thought. "Hi angel. I love you." I said. She then smiled and that made me smile. "Do you have a name for her?" The midwife said. I looked at her and then looked back at my baby. I smiled. "(Y/n)." I said. When I said her name, she opened her beautiful (e/c) eyes. She had her father's eyes. I started to tear up. "Are you alright?" The midwife said. I looked at her and smiled. "I'm fine." I said. I touched (Y/n)'s soft (h/c) hair and smiled. "No matter what, mommy will always love." I said as I kissed her forehead.

*3 Years Later*

"Mommy! Look at what I found!" (Y/n) said as she wobbled towards me. She was holding a book. She could barely keep it in her hands. It looked so heavy. She showed me and I examined the book. An alchemy book. It's his. I thought. I quickly grabbed it from her and put in on top of a shelf. "Mommy! Dat was miiiine!" She yelled. I looked at her and sighed. "Hey! Want mommy to do your hair and make it pretty?" I said. Her eyes glimmered and she smiled widely. "Come on." I held my hand out for her so I can sit her down.

As I put the last bow in her hair, I thought more about her father. I missed him so much. I felt a tear stroll down my cheek. I wiped it off and smiled. "Okay, hun. We're all done. Turn around and give me a smile." I said. (Y/n) turned around and smiled. "Am I beautiful now, mommy?" She said as she looked into my eyes with her (e/c) ones. "You've always been beautiful and you always will be." He told me that too. I said as I kissed her forehead. "Mommy, why are you crying?" She said as she pointed at my tears. I wiped them away quickly. I picked her up and held her to the air, smiling as she smiled back. I set her down. "I'm going to get dinner started. Will you stay here and be a good girl?" I said. She nodded and sat down. I turned around as more tears fell. Please come home.

*6 Years Later*

(Y/n)'s POV

After dinner, I waited for mommy to go to sleep. When I heard her lightly snoring, I knew it was time to begin what I always do. I grabbed the alchemy book that mommy hid from me when I was little. Now I'm hiding it from her. I opened it up and read where I left off. I read about transmutation and equivalent exchange. "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost." I read to myself. I was in complete awe. I wanted to try to transmute something.

I drew a transmutation circle with chalk mommy got me. After I finished drawing, I looked at it for a moment. It didn't look perfect but I was something. I clapped my hands together and slammed them onto the ground. "OW OW OW! MY HANDS! AUGH!" I yelled. I threw my body onto the ground in pain. After a bit I looked at the transmutation circle. Nothing happened. I guess I have to read more.

The next morning, I ate cereal at the kitchen table. My mom sat next to me with her warm tea. She took a sip and signed. She looked at me with a smirk. "So. What was the screaming about last night?" She said. Busted. I thought. "Mommy I can expl-" She cut me off. "I'll let you learn alchemy. But you have to be careful. Do you understand?" She said. I quickly nodded and smiled. She leaned over and kissed my cheek. As she stood up to clean the dishes I said: "Mommy. You're beautiful." She turned around and smiled. "So are you, my dear." She said.

*2 Years Later*

"(Y/n), dear, I'm going out to get some groceries. Don't open the door for anyone and don't go anywhere, okay?" She said as she headed to the front door. I ran to her and smiled. "You promise you'll be back?" I said. She bent down to me and smiled, holding out her pinky. "I promise." She said softly. I wrapped my pinky around hers but quickly unwrapped it, giving her a big hug. She smiled and whispered in my ear. "I'll never leave you, honey. I love you." "I love you too, mom." I said as I broke the hug. "I'll see you later." She said with a smile. She walked out and I closed the door behind her. I wanted to do something nice for her. I ran to the center of the living room. I moved the furniture out of the way and grabbed the alchemy book. I drew a transmutation circle and took a deep breath. Please work. I thought. I closed my eyes and used all my concentration. I slowly opened my left eye and saw lights sparking. I smiled widely. "YES!" I exclaimed.

*3 hours later*

Gosh, when is mom coming home? The grocery store isn't far from here at all. Maybe her grocery list was extra long. I set mom's gift on the kitchen table and sighed. I'm getting kind of sleepy. I thought. I went to my room and lied down on my bed. Maybe she'll be here when I wake up. I thought to myself as I went to sleep.

When I woke up, I ran to the living room. "Mom!" I yelled. I looked all around the house for her. Where is she? I thought. I know she said not to go anywhere but I opened the front door. "Moooooom!" I yelled again. I didn't get a response. I went back inside and sat against a wall and sighed. I then heard a knock and I quickly got up. I opened the door with a huge smile. "Mom?" I said. It wasn't her. My smile quickly faded. It was a man who was a bit slouchy. He had his hat to his chest and his face looked kinda glum. "Are you (Y/n) (L/n)?" He asked. "M-mhm" I answered. "I'm really sorry to inform you but your mother... Your mother has been murdered by an unknown being." He said.

My heart literally dropped. I didn't want to cry in front of this stranger. I smiled just like my mother would. "Thank you for telling me." My vision began to get blurry due to the tears that were getting collected. I slowly closed the door. I set my back onto the door and let the tears finally fall.

Man's POV

I put my ear against the door and heard (Y/n) crying. I smiled. My work here is done. She's no longer a threat. Just like her father. I said to myself as I transformed back to my lovely body. "Envy. Come on." I heard. "Okay okay" I said as I rolled my eyes. All I heard was screaming and tears. Music to my ears
