Roy stood with his arms folded over his chest as he watched the rescue operation work. He and Alphonse stood apart from the town, looking for different prey entirely. The military was helping the search effort, but what Roy and Alphonse were doing they couldn’t help with. Roy wouldn’t even let his own team help them, directing their energy into looking for Edward.
Two days had passed and still there wasn’t any headway made into the pile of rock and dirt blocking the entrance of the mine. Roy refused to believe Edward was dead, that Edward had simply given up. The Flame Alchemist frowned deeply and turned away from the sight of the mine.
“Colonel, do you think Ed’s okay?” Alphonse asked softly.
“I’m sure he’s fine. He wouldn’t let this stop him.” Roy replied. He started down the hill down into the brown scrub. “What we can do now is catch Goetz and put him in custody.”
“Even if you do that, Brother will get to him.”
“I’m almost counting on it.” Roy said. “Your brother isn’t someone to take lightly.”
Alphonse made an agreeing noise and followed after the Colonel. They walked in silence for a while, skirting the train tracks and moving around the mountain the man ran into.
They’d been looking for Raymond since they’d arrived. Mato and Lani had said Ray was still around, and he looked for all the world pleased with himself. Not even they had realized that Edward had been trapped in the mine when it had collapsed. They still wouldn’t believe Ray had been the cause of the collapse and blamed shoddy supports, or too much weight. No matter what Alphonse said, Mato and Lani just wouldn’t believe that Ray had anything to do with what happened. Still, they promised to keep an eye out for him. Alphonse figured they’d tell him his old friend Roy was in town and Raymond would crawl out of the woodwork to gloat.
“Colonel?”
“Yes, Alphonse?”
“Why would Raymond think Ed’s your bitch?”
Roy stopped suddenly and turned to look at Alphonse. The younger Elric put his hands up in surrender. Roy’s dark eyes searched the boy’s metal face, but the Colonel didn’t make a move. Finally Roy heaved a sigh and motioned for Alphonse to follow again.
“I suppose because I’m your brother’s commanding officer.” Roy paused to navigate his way down a steep hill. “It’s no secret that you and Ed mostly following my orders.”
Alphonse frowned slightly. “You... like my brother, don’t you?”
“Who wouldn’t like Edward? He’s insufferable, a little prick that doesn’t know when to quit and he’s tenacious like a starving dog.” Roy griped.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Roy paused to look up at Alphonse. The fourteen-year-old looked back at him, lips curled into a frown even though the metal helmet that was his head never moved. The younger Elric took a deep breath and repeated, “Colonel, do you like my brother?”
“If I said yes, what would you do?”
Alphonse blinked, a little shocked. “Wh-what would I do?”
“Yeah, what would you do? Would you stop me from going after Ed? Would you let me go after him? Would you try to get between us? I like your brother, Alphonse. I love him, even. If I could, I’d try to spend the rest of my life with Ed if he wanted to.” Roy said, his voice stern. “So what would you do, Alphonse?”
Alphonse was speechless for a while after Roy’s confession. What would he do? He didn’t know. Alphonse stared at the Colonel’s back as Roy started walking again. Alphonse hurried after the Colonel, catching up to the man with a few easy strides.
“I...” Alphonse stopped and Roy paused to look back at the armor. “I think I’d... I’d be happy for you. And Ed. Because Ed hasn’t allowed himself to be happy since this happened to us. And as much as he complains about you, I think Brother likes you, too.”
Roy smirked slightly. “You think?”
“Well,” Alphonse looked down at his feet for a moment. “He talks about you a lot. It’s mostly complaining and name-calling, but I don’t think Brother knows how to express what he’s feeling like a normal person.”
Roy snickered and shook his head. “Good to know. Now, let’s go see if we can find another way into the mine.”
“I thought we were looking for Raymond.” Alphonse protested.
“We are. If we find another way into the mine, Raymond will be there. And then he’ll pay for hurting you boys.”
Alphonse blinked and hurried after the Colonel. “I think we should have back up.”
Roy snapped his fingers, creating sparks.
Alphonse gave a worried laugh. Maybe it was best they didn’t have any back up after all. They probably wouldn’t survive the Flame Alchemist’s ire.
