Silent comfort
It was hours later as Roy made his way into the small apartment. The living room with the small cooking area was dark and the moon shone through the only window of the apartment. The raven-haired man made his way over to the bedroom. He opened the door that was slightly ajar and walked inside. He found the suit of armour hovering over a small figure on the bed murmuring comforting words. As the Lieutenant Colonel stepped fully inside he was noticed by Alphonse. Two glowing eyes looked at him. He looked sad - as sad as armour could look - and stood up. The armour-boy patted the hunched form on the bed.
“Nii-san, the Lieutenant Colonel is here.” He rubbed one last time over his brother’s back and then made room for the older man to sit on the bed. Roy laid a hand on the blankets and tried to drag them from the youth’s body.
“Edward, please look at me.” The dark-haired man tried to act calm but was just as exhausted as the pre-teen under the blankets. Ed fisted his hands in the comforter and held them close.
“Fullmetal, look at me. That’s an order.” Still he tried to sound calm, to be the adult in here. The blonde fisted his hands further and dragged his legs closer to his body. Roy sighed heavily. He stood up, removed his jacket and boots and lay next to Ed on the bed. He pulled with one hand on the blanket. After some effortless moments he let his arm rest on the pre-teen’s body laying his head on the pillow. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.
“Tonight had sucked so much.” He let out a deep breath and heard the rustle of sheets next to him. The older man didn’t dare to open his eyes to see that Ed had turned around looking up at him from a tiny slit. “If I would have known Tucker would do something like that I would never have let you stay there. If I would have known I would have taken her out of there bringing her to foster parents where she would have been safe.” He rubbed a hand over his face sighing heavily. “I should have done something. Anything would have been fine seeing Tucker’s unstable personality.” Now a cold hand reached for the one lying on his face dragging it from his face. He looked down. Ed’s eyes were red from crying and he had strands of tears on his face. Roy reached out and whipped the tears away. The blonde let himself be dragged against a warm chest. It felt so good and his body was just so heavy. He closed his eyes feeling that Roy held him tighter kissing the top of his head.
“Now sleep. Just sleep.” The older man murmured against the top of his head. Ed let himself be dragged into the world of dreamless sleep. Roy remained beside him the entire night getting himself some much needed sleep.
