Author: lynx212
Words: 188
Rating: PG13
Summary: Written from Havoc’s POV as he reflects on Ed. Each can be read alone but if you wanna consider them a little series you can whatever floats your fanfic boat
Warnings: None useless yaoi bother’s you but I doubt that since you see me as the author and you clicked anyway ^_^
Loss, disappointment and sadness.
It's all something we have to deal with at some point in time in our lives. However I think some people seem to get more than their fair share of it. As I look over at the desk that hasn't been occupied in two years an all too familiar ache settles in my soul. My fascination with you was something I never acted on.
The timing was bad and the age difference even worse.
Those facts did nothing to dissipate the feelings I had for you thereby making your sudden disappearance even harder to deal with. Sure I smile when Kain shows me his latest gadget. I laugh when Breda tells one of his jokes, but none of it feels the way it use too. I suppose I'm just doing what everyone else has been doing since you vanished.
It's as if everyday is just another extension of the grand charade we all feel we must put on so no one falls apart.
If you ever do return to us I swear by all that I hold dear that I won't waste the opportunity.

Only you, you know that?
Only you would be able to write your own history. You came crashing back into this world and everyone's life in a way only you could pull off. Defying the odds, bending the rules you didn't out and out break and here you are again.
Older, wiser, more stunning and thankfully taller as well… I had often wondered if you'd ever reach the height you claimed to be.
The following days are hectic indeed. I'm listening to you and the Chief talk about what will be said and how things need to be phrased to explain your absence and subsequent return.
I'm a patient man, I can wait my turn. It's been 862 days since you disappeared what's two or three more?

We're out at a bar together after the fanfare of your return to this world dies down. Your appetite hasn’t diminished in the slightest and you now have a penchant for chasing shots of whisky with beer. You don't even grimace when you do that and I can only imagine what kind of stress brought on that habit.
I have no doubt you spent many sleepless nights thinking of a way to get back to the brother you left behind. Alive and restored but here without you. I have no doubt just as he searched for any clue of you; you were fighting to get back to him.
Anyway our conversation is light despite my thoughts and I couldn’t help but notice your accent. You deny having one but to others it’s clear as day. Between that, the fact you’ve grown half a foot and your new manner of dress it’s almost as if it’s not really you.
It’s as if I’m talking to some brilliant imposter masquerading as you.
Any possibility of that thought being true is driven out of my head as you sink the shot you spent three minutes lining up. You are definitely Edward Elric, because he’s the only person that could possibly have pulled off that shot.
Three balls sunk damn near in unison only to leave the cue neatly behind the eight ball sitting a foot away from the corner pocket.
Yup, it’s you alright, no doubt about that.

You have always amazed me you know that? And you keep doing it time and time again and it makes me wonder if you’ll ever be anywhere in the same realm as predictable. Probably not and to be honest I wouldn’t change you for all the cens in Central.
Why?
Because right at this very moment I’m standing in the doorway of the room you and your brother use for storage listening to you make hauntingly beautiful music. The cello is braced firmly between your knees, your fingers are moving up and down the strings as your other hand and arm move and arc the bow with obviously felt passion. Your eyes are closed and you are completely lost in the harmony you are creating.
When you finally notice me standing there your face brightens and you lay down the bow even though I ask you not to stop.
Despite my pleas to the contrary you sit your instrument aside. Moving with the grace and confidence of a tiger you walk up to me; blond hair down, shirt unbuttoned with that cocky grin of yours firmly in place.
My carefully chosen words fail me as my thought process goes on a holiday. I had a purpose behind my visit but as you stand there going on about composers, Concerto’s in A minor and movements I am trying hard to force myself to do what I came over to your house to do.
You ask me if I’d like to stay for dinner and I agree.
If procrastination was an art form I’d be a master.

Everyone’s gathered over at the Elric household on a Saturday celebrating what I don’t know; but these days we don’t need much of a reason. We’ve all fought too hard and sacrificed too much not to enjoy what peace we can. The absence of happy times like these has been felt all too hard. I can’t look at a face here and find one that hasn’t been touched by everything that has come to pass over the last six years.
But tonight’s not about that. It’s about celebration and enjoying the fruits of our labor. It’s about friendship and family and anything in between. It’s about Maes shoving pictures in everyone’s face as Al and Kain remind everyone exactly why it is that they don’t drink often. Shaking my head I step out onto the porch... for all of their talent singing while intoxicated isn’t one of them.
I’m standing on the porch, warm cider in hand when I hear, “The moon looks awesome tonight.”
I try not to show how startled I am and reply with, “Yeah it is, isn’t it.”
We are standing nearly shoulder to shoulder silently looking out at the night sky when I finally grow a set.
I call your name and when you turn to look at me I take a leap of faith and kiss those lips I’ve watched move more times than I can count.
When startled golden eyes look up at me I say, “You’ve been missed.”
A soft smiled settles over your lips, “So I see.”
You don’t say anything more but you do step closer and when my hand finds yours you don’t move away.
Words aren’t necessary; your actions are all the answer I need.
