Summary: It’s not how it begins, of course, but somewhere in the middle of the night, in the middle of the year, in the middle of the relatively calmer part of their lives, there is this:
Roy, gasping: "Fullmetal–"
"I’ve been Ed to you for years, Roy." As he slides his automail leg against Roy’s thigh. "Or is there something you want to tell me?"
Fullmetal was dangerous, a force of nature, but Ed evokes a terrifying cacophony of warm emotions in Roy’s chest, fondness and exasperation and some measure of awe, and comradery, of intellectual challenge and a measure of truly equal partnership that Roy never imagined having, comfort in his own home and his own skin, and all told Fullmetal’s the safer option.
"You’ve caught me out." He gasps, fingers curling in the sheets. "I’m just with you for the automail."
