Envy/Ed - Fools
Title: Fools
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Characters/Pairing: Envy/Ed
Rating: PG-13, to be safe, for... implied things. |D
A/N: One of my spontaneous "MSN drabbles" written while talking to knighterrific.
He's such a fool, you think, absentmindedly brushing a lock of golden hair away from his sleeping face, and then cursing yourself for doing so - who do you think you are, his mother, his boyfriend? - the gesture so... stupid and gentle and caring that it almost makes you sick. Such a fool.
There were others before him, of course, who made the same mistake, who had fallen asleep next to you, so unaware of the consequences of what they had just done, but they would wake up in the morning and hate themselves, or swear to forget it had ever happened, or you wouldn't let them wake up again, but he's different. Somehow, he's different.
He comes back, every time, like a moth drawn to a flame, but he doesn't turn away before he burns himself. He - (that stupid, naive little brat) - charges headfirst into the fire, like he knows it will hurt him but is past the stage of caring.
And you let him. You let him return.
Such a fool.
