Russell had just stepped through the doorway of Edward’s dorm room when it happened. The building and everything in it began shaking and trembling as if alive. Pictures, shelves and anything else not secured came crashing down around them. Everything was shattering; leaving the floor littered with broken glass and splintered wood. Ed didn’t have time to do more than pull Russell close to him before the walls decided to cave in.
Ed’s next conscious moment was filled with pain. It hurt to breathe, he couldn’t move and he could barely see. Something warm, wet and sticky was pouring down his face and once he got his eyes to focus, he realized several things almost instantly.
Russell was pinned underneath him and his automail arm was under a lot of pressure. He couldn’t feel his legs and Russell looked barely conscious.
“Russ…”
No response but he did move and considering the situation that was great.
“Russell if you can…please look at me.”
The remains of the building around them groaned and Ed felt the pressure on his arm increase.
“Russell Tringham, wake up!”
Slowly dazed blue eyes cracked open then tried and failed to focus. Finally, after seconds that felt like hours to Ed, Russell looked at him.
“Ed…what happen…” he asked before making the mistake of trying to move. He voice broke off into a pained scream. Ed craned his neck down as far as he dared and what he saw broke his heart. Russell was literally skewered on some sort of pipe or metal rod.
“Hey don’t move…the building it’s…”
The rubble creaked and shifted more, pressing Ed down closer to his wounded lover. As he looked around, he could see the only thing keeping the slab of concrete above them from falling was a wooden beam that was splinting and sagging as he looked at it and his automail arm, which wasn’t fairing much better.
“Ed it…it hurts…”
“I know it does love but hang in there. I know by now people are looking for us,” Ed lied as he looked into the pained face of his lover.
A weak smile split Russell’s pale face as he said, “You…always were a terri…terrible liar.”
The rubble shifted again, Ed’s arm popped free, and all of the weight of the slab was on the wooden beam. As it continued to give, Ed could feel the weight of the slab on his back. He pushed back with all he had but he knew it wasn’t enough. He was injured, his automail was damaged and he could only speculate how much weight was above them.
As the pressure, increased Ed couldn’t do anything but gaze into pained blue eyes. More than anything, he wanted to run the back of his hand down that face one more time, but he didn’t dare move. A bloody hand reached up and touched his face causing Ed to smile.
“I wanted to…to see that one more time,” Russell whisered.
The wreckage of the building began to tremble and Ed wanted to scream. For every opportunity lost to them. For every anniversary, they wouldn’t have. For every moment he felt he’d wasted not letting Russell know how much he cared.
It shouldn’t end this way. It wasn’t fair.
Ed heard a snap as he looked into blue eyes one final time.
