Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Lonely ❯ Heartache ( Chapter 1 )

This is my second FMA fic. There are a few warnings: Winry bashing, Al OOC, Ed OOC, and this will be an Ed/Roy pairing. This fic switches POV back and forth between Ed and Roy. Some chapters with have both, some only one. I don't own FMA but this original story is mine.

 

There is also a color key.

 

Black: Author's notes and other people speaking.

Black with * means random noises.

Blue: Roy (Both thoughts and speaking in and out of POV mode)

Red: Ed (Both thoughts and speaking in and out of POV mode)

Now without further ado, here's the story. Enjoy!

 

Lonely

 

I stare out of the window in my room in the apartment I shared with Al and Winry. We all live in Central now because Al and Winry are getting ready for their wedding. Al now has his own body with the exception of his right leg being made out of automail. He doesn't mind. He and Winry have together for two years. It's been five years since Al at least got most of his body back and everything seemed to be going great. I still have my automail arm and leg. It's no big deal, as long as Al's happy.

But what about me? Am I happy? I guess I should be because Al and Winry are getting married in April. He's nineteen and she's twenty. I turn twenty in a month but no one seems to notice at all.

Then again, who would notice someone who was invisible? That's right, the famous “Fullmetal Alchemist” hasn't had anyone pay attention to him in almost two years. After Al and Winry started dating, I just sort of faded into the background. People forgot I even existed and if anyone spoke to me at all, it was to comment on how short I am.

I look out at the streets below and I see Winry run to Al and hold him in her arms. He hugs her, then kisses her with love and joy. They don't see me, no one does. I quietly walk away from the window, then throw myself onto my bed and start sobbing. No one loves, cares, or even sees me! I'd give anything, anything, to have a kind word or a smile. I wish so much that someone would care about me. Al and Winry are so wrapped up in each other and everyone is so wrapped up in them. I no longer matter to any of them. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for them but, like I said, I'm just invisible. Even my alchemy has suffered because of my loneliness.

 

* Knock Knock *

 

Huh? No one visits me anymore. Who could that be? I wipe my eyes, pushed myself off the bed, and shuffled my feet to the door. I opened the door and found Roy Mustang. He must've just come back from the Eastern Command Post. He's also now Further.

 

Ed opened the door with his face tear streaked, red eyes, messed up hair, and wrinkled clothes. What happened to you, Ed? Your eyes used to be filled with determination, now I see nothing but sadness and pain.

 

“Yes, Further?” he says weakly, almost crying. He's usually so cocky, now he just sounds forlorn.

 

“I'm back from the East and I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner tonight?” I asked. Come on Fullmetal, you look so damn lonely. Who hurt you this way?

 

 

TBC! I'm sorry for it being short and a cliffie but, I want some input before any more chappies are posted.

Ja Ne!
