Weeks passed and I’ve spent the last two of them tracking you. It’s no wonder you have people like Riza and Breda on your team. For such a revered solider you are laughably predictable. You eat lunch with Maes every Thursday at this open air café just as you stop every Monday afternoon to buy Xingian style food from a street vendor on your way home. I’m sitting three tables away from you and Hughes and you don’t even know I’m here.

If I were a sniper you would have been dead long ago. But a quick demise is not what you deserve.

You need to suffer as I have before you go.

You plan on taking my Brother away again but this time for a whole week and I can’t allow that. I can’t be gone that long to look after him while he’s in your supposed care. Besides, you don’t deserve that much time alone with him. You taint him enough on a daily basis. A whole week with no other influence outside of you may render him unrecognizable to me.

I don’t know why he can’t see that you’re destroying him, changing him and making him into someone he doesn’t need to become. He is above you Roy Mustang and you have placed him below you and I cannot let this continue.

The waiter is at your table, the two of you place your orders and I have seen enough. I have one thing left to do before I leave you to your little lunch.

I’m talking to Maes sitting at our usual spot at Lydia’s. The conversation is lighter than it’s been in a long time and I welcome the change. He asks me about my upcoming plans with Ed and I tell him that I’ve planned the perfect week for us. I’m looking forward to a week of no work, no stress and especially no Al. If looks could kill I would have died a thousand miserable deaths already.

I haven’t even told Ed where we are going hoping to make it a surprise. In truth I think I’m more excited than he is. It’s been a great eight months of relationship bliss and I know it seems sudden but I’ve decided if he’ll let me, I’m keeping him forever. That’s the purpose behind the trip I’m popping the question and Maes is the only one that knows this.

He’s asking me if I’m nervous and I give him a look. Of course I’m nervous. As great as it’s been this is still Ed I’m dealing with and there’s a good chance he may shove the ring I bought him somewhere that will require surgery to have it removed. When I tell Maes this he laughs at me and asks to see it.

The waiter comes before I can pull it out, we place our orders and I fish the box out of my pocket. When Maes opens it he lets out a whistle but then asks why there are two.

I told him no way is Ed wearing something that marks him as taken without me doing the same.

Our sandwiches come and I take one bite and I know. I seize up and Maes asks me what’s wrong.

Tomato is all I can choke out before my mouth starts to swell.
