"Right. It's not like I'm in love with you or anything." Ed mutters under his breath as Roy continues going on and on.
"And another thing—Wait, what did you just say?" Roy stops his pacing suddenly, his head snapping up to meet Ed's eyes.
Ed smirks. "I'll tell you if you're finally done lecturing me."
Roy scoffs and narrows his eyes. "I simply think that maybe you'll regret getting married so young! And I feel I am well within my right as your friend to give my honest opinion!"
Ed can't hold it in anymore—he starts laughing so hard his whole body shakes with it. Roy crosses his arms over his chest and glowers at Ed with just the slightest hint of color blooming on his pale cheeks. Ed forces himself to reign it in and take pity on the poor man.
"I'm not getting married, you ridiculous bastard."
Roy opens his mouth and closes it again four times before he clears his throat and all of the fire fades from his voice. "…But—You said Miss Rockbell is now engaged."
"Yeah. And you went and assumed that it was to me and proceeded to go on a fifteen minute tirade." Ed pushes himself up from where he'd been lounging on the couch in Roy's office, closing some of the distance between them. "Winry's engaged to Paninya. Y'know, her girlfriend of like three years that I know I've told you about before?"
Ed watches with delight as Roy's cheeks darken further. "She is?"
Ed just rolls his eyes, taking another step forward until they are standing toe to toe. "Yeah. Now tell me the truth: were you really just concerned I was getting married too young or were you jealous?"
Roy sputters indignantly, eyes flitting around the room and refusing to meet Ed's eyes. "I'm sure I dont know what you mean."
"Oh? That's too bad." Ed makes a big show of over-exaggerating a sigh and turning to leave.
Roy grabs hold of Ed's wrist before he can get too far, fingers clasped almost painfully tight. He slowly turns back around and Ed's heart stutters as their eyes meet and he sees such open emotion in Roy's beautiful fathomless eyes.
Roy's voice is so quiet when he speaks again that Ed almost misses his confession. "I was jealous."
For all of his attempts to appear cool and confident, the fact that Ed was actually right and Roy was genuinely jealous at the prospect of Ed getting engaged to someone else makes his heart flutter up into his throat and his face warm up to the tips of his ears. He steels himself and raises his free hand up to place it over Roy's heart. Ed can feel the way it beats rapidly in Roy's chest—matching Ed's own quick heartbeat—and that alone is enough to help Ed feel ready to finally say the words again.
"I'm in love with you." Ed stares at his own fingers curling around the fabric of Roy's uniform jacket. He can hear the way Roy's breath catches in his throat and he chances a glance up, a sheepish smile on his lips. "That's what I said earlier."
"You—Are you certain?" Roy sounds like all the air has been ripped from his lungs.
Ed nods quickly. "I'm pretty damn sure, yeah. Have been for awhile now."
Before Ed's brain can even hope to catch up to what is happening, Roy's hand is cupping his jaw and soft lips are on his own. Ed's grip on Roy tightens as he lifts himself up on his toes to press eagerly into the kiss. Roy moves his hand from Ed's wrist to wrap his arm around Ed's waist and then they are pressed impossibly close together and Roy's tongue is slipping along the seam of Ed's lips and oh—oh, Ed is floating. He has transcended this mortal realm and all that remains is Roy, Roy, Roy.
When they part, their panting breaths mingle in the small space between them. Roy tucks a swathe of golden hair that had fallen loose from his ponytail behind Ed's ear, a bright and unwavering smile on his lips. "I love you. Of course I love you. How could I not?"
Ed feels like his heart is about to burst and his cheeks almost hurt as he beams up at Roy. He presses another lingering kiss to Roy's lips and melts into the contact for a few breathless moments.
"So, are you gonna ask me out already or do I have to do everything around here?" Ed teases after getting some air back into his lungs.
Roy chuckles low in his throat. "Would you allow me the greatest honor of taking you out to dinner, Edward?"
Ed slips his hand into Roy's, threading their fingers together and marveling at just how right all of this felt. "Yeah, I could eat."
Ed stares at the bundle of neon colored highlighters that had been left on his workspace—all wrapped up with a little bow and a note attached that reads: 'You are the highlight of my day.'
This is the fifth time someone has left something for him with a cheesy note attached. What the fuck is going on? If someone's pranking him, there will be hell to pay.
He glances around the lab and makes eye contact with the only other person who didn't leave for dinner break yet. His eyes narrow and he stomps across the room.
"You."
"What about me?" Roy's smirking that damned smirk that makes Ed want to punch and kiss him at the same time.
"Don't be an ass. Is it you or not?" Ed drops the highlighters on top of the paper Roy had been working on.
Roy's smirk softens into an almost… nervous smile? "Would it be a good or a bad thing if it is me?"
Ed rolls his eyes and groans. "Just answer the damn question, bastard."
"Yes."
"Good." And then Ed is reaching over to get a good grip on the front of Roy's lab coat to crash their lips together.

my all-time ultimate fave character: sOUJI & YOSUKE OWN MY HEART.
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: dojima. i only didn’t like him bc he was never home for nanako, but then he grew on me.
a character I used to like but now don’t: there isn’t really one.
a character I’m indifferent about: most of the side characters, i guess.

an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: idk if any ship is really unpopular lmao but i’ll say souji & kanji and rise & naoto.
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: anything involving nanako tbqh. she is a smol angel child who should not be sexualised by any of the sickos out there. unless you give her like a lil boyfriend/girlfriend when she’s a teen and up.
my favourite storyline/moment: anytime souji & yosuke call each other partner or by their first names RIP ME.

5 things people may not know about me:

i have a terrible relationship with almost everyone in my family lmao
i really want to get a new drawing tablet & try to get better at art/digital art.
i’ve had a couple of poems/short stories published in anthologies when i was in middle school and high school.
i was in choir for 13 years. once i hit middle school i was in 3 choirs a day; high school it upped to 5-6 choirs a day.

FANDOM: LIFE IS STRANGE ( bc hell ye or hell ye !?!?!?? )
[ send me a fandom and i’ll tell you … ]
the character i least understand— alyssa. why tf can she not stop getting hit by everything and pushed into pools and shit.
interactions i enjoyed the most— every interaction with kate (minus the incident in “out of time” until she takes max’s hand)
the character who scares me the most— jeffershit. fuck that unfortunately attractive shitbag bastard.
the character who is mostly like me— i’m honestly a pretty balanced mix of max and kate.
hottest looks character— chloe, lesbihonest. wam bam oh hot damn.
one thing i dislike about my fave character— i dislike nothing about my precious bunbun angel kate. well, i suppose i wish she had a better family (except her sisters, they’re v good & keep her alive), but that isn’t really her fault.
one thing i like about my hated character— nope. i fucking hate jeffershit to his rotten core. he can rot in hell.
a quote or scene that haunts me— the roof scene in “out of time” haunts me every single day. mostly because i see far too much of myself in kate and i cry so fucking much every time. and when she says “i’m in a nightmare and i can’t wake up … unless i put myself to sleep.” like. fuck. i have said and thought that exact thing many times in my life and i just. i’m going to cry just thinking about it.
a death that left me indifferent— none of the deaths honestly left me feeling indifferent. i ended up caring about every single character so much. the only ones i dislike or hate are warren (who i don’t dislike enough to wish he had died) and jeffershit (but unfortunately, he lives on in prison).
a character i wish died but didn’t— j e f f e r s h i t
my ship that never sailed— MARSHFIELD. it sails on in my heart, soul, and bones, though.
