Previous:HERE


You are sitting on my couch and the silence that surrounds you is killing me. I have offered you food that you have turned down and when you even refused coffee I am speechless. I put on the water for tea thinking if I have a cup maybe you’ll join me. Something... anything... has to give before this tension drives me insane.

When you remain in silence I take a risk and ask you if everything is ok. You nod but I sense that even you know I can see right through the lie that response is.

Not to be defeated so easily I ask you if things are ok between you and him and golden eyes narrow but you don’t answer. I try to wait patiently but I know I won’t last long. I want to know what’s bothering you… I need to know. Something has you behaving like a scared rabbit in his presence and I won’t stop before I know what it is. I have my suspicions but that alone isn’t enough.

If I’m to choke a man, I need a concrete reason to do so.

Suddenly you ask me if I ever get tired of living alone and the question startles me. It’s out of place but I’m willing to play along. Anything for you.

Hoping that I’m reading your demeanor and expression correctly I say that I do get lonely at times and your face lights up. You launch into how much you miss Al and not knowing when he’s coming home is torture for you. Knowing that your pride is at stake here I tell you that you are more than welcome to bunk with me anytime you want and an invisible weight lifts off your shoulders even as you make sure it won’t be any trouble. I assure you it’s not and the smile I am use to returns even as the shadows that have found a home in your eyes over the last few weeks remain.

I want to dig deeper but I know now is not the time. As that thought crosses my mind, something in my guts wrenches and my instincts shout that time is not something you may not have a lot of.

You ask me if I’m interested in playing a few hands of poker and I move to go get the cards. You are happily watching me shuffle and all is right with your world. We play until nightfall and you fall asleep on my couch again, but this time it’s on and empty stomach and the peaceful expression is nowhere to be seen.

A storm is coming and I just pray I have what it takes to shelter you from the rain.

Havoc being protective of Ed is love <33

As much as I love Roy and Ed they can never reach Havoc in my heart :P <333

I totally understand! It was actually the lack of Havoc/Ed fics that drove me to write them more. They need more love as a pair and Havoc needs more love period lol

I love Havoc when he's in protective mode. So different from the jealously possessive Havoc of Underneath It All. And predator Roy is just plain scary. Go Havoc! You can take him! :)

My mind is trudging around in dark corners here recently so I have just let it have its way with me. I've been fighting hard to not have all of my FMA character not come across the same in every fic so it's nice to know its working ^_^

[kyofujimiya.livejournal.com]

So I just went back and read everything up to this and then this piece. OMG, I love your protective Havoc! His appreciation for Ed is so awesome, and just like when you do an evil Al, I'm intrigued by possessive Roy.

Thanks chic a dee! I am exploring the not so nice aspects of the human psyche and this and things like Invidia Al are the result...

[kattrip033.livejournal.com]

Oh Havoc. *sniffles*

Now I must go read all the previous stuff.

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Aww *hands you tissue* Havoc is trying his best but only time will tell if his effort will be enough.

[kattrip033.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *nods*

[havemy-heart.livejournal.com]

I went back and reread the previous chapters and I love how protective Havoc is in this ♥

Roy is being seriously creepy towards Ed and I'm relieved that Havoc has witnessed it and is subtly doing what he can for Ed.

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the reading love babe *hugs*

Yeah Jean has his eyes on Roy and he doesn't like what he sees one damn bit!

[halighfataliter.livejournal.com]

No, no, no, no, no! Iconoclast! First, Al, sweet, adorable Al who you turn into a creepy psychopath. Then Maes, best friend Maes, who you make sleep with Ed behind Roy's back. And now Roy?!? I don't like where this is going at all... nah, not at all. :(

Damn, if only you wrote badly, I wouldn't have to read it... ! (and this is typically the moment where you tell us in a mysterious, cheeky voice, that this is only the first of many surprises, isn't it?)

(small voice) Really? Roy?

[halighfataliter.livejournal.com]

Btw, I didn't read the previous chapters, but that definitely goes in my to-do list of the next weeks.

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Take you time its all tagged and ready to go when you can get to it ^_^

*blushes hard* I don't know what to say to that kind of praise other than I don't plan on quitting my writing hobby anytime soon!

*this is only he beginning my dear... only the tip of the iceberg*
