Fullmetal Love

~Roy POV~

Ed is running from me. Why is he running?

"Ed!" I call out, but he keeps running, doesn't even look back. He doesn't love me... He never loved me...

***

I awake with a jolt, a nauseous feeling in my gut from the dream. But then I remember that Ed agreed to take me back, and the bad feeling evaporates into the morning air, replaced by happiness, pure and clean. It's been so long since I felt truly happy that the sensation is somewhat strange and foreign, but in a good way.

It's going to be a bit weird between us at first considering we haven't even spoken to each other for about a month, so I think taking it slow is a good idea.

I just can't believe how lucky I am for Ed to actually take me back. I mean, I screwed up pretty badly and I don't know if I'd be able to take someone back like that. Ed must really love me. And I love him too. So much.

I quickly get ready and go to work. It's all the same stuff as usual, and I find myself bored with it rather than using to occupy my mind from the sadness like normal.

At my break, I go into Ed's office like I used to.

"Hey."

"Oh, hi," he replies with a smile that melts my insides. I automatically return it with a smile of my own.

"You okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just a lot of work today."

I smile sympathetically, and then he surprises me by getting up and hugging me. I wrap my arms around him tightly, drawing him closer. I've missed this so much; holding him in my arms, feeling his chest rise and fall steadily as he breathes, the feeling of his warm body against mine.

After a while, I let go. He looks up at me, and I stare into his gorgeous golden eyes, losing myself in them. We stay like this for a while, and although we would normally be kissing by now, we are taking things slow. Besides, after not having talked for so long all this feels a bit weird.

"Um, do you want to maybe go somewhere later this week?"

This boy never fails to surprise me.

"Sure," I answer.

I mention the name of a nearby restaurant and we agree on Friday for dinner.

I remember our first date at the ice rink. It was magical... But then I went and ruined it all.

That definitely won't happen this time though.
