Summary: "I really don't understand how you've survived this long."



“I really don’t understand how you have survived this long,” Roy muttered, tightening the bandage wrapped around Ed’s head carefully. “It’s a minor miracle you made it to adulthood."

"Is this not counting the times I’ve died?” Ed asked, and winced.

“That was rhetorical and I’m pretending that I didn’t hear you say that simply for my own sanity.” Roy cut the white bandage and tied it off. Ed was covered in dirt and his own blood, caked down the side of his face and into his hair. “Caution doesn’t cost you anything, and saves us all plenty in the long run."

"I’ve had worse,” Ed said, and touched two fingers to his head gingerly. “Way worse. But … thanks, you know. For saving my bacon."

"The world would be a darker place without you in it,” Roy said, and slung the medkit back into the trunk. Ed was immediately thankful for the layer of grime, it masked the sudden flush well. “Have we at least finished here? If there’s still - what were they, monkey-bats?"

"Hell if I know, tiny things with sharp little teeth.” Ed waved his hand in front of his face. “Kids have way too much imagination these days, dreaming up all sorts of nasty shit."

Roy shook his head. "And Al?” he asked.

“Hell if I know where that idiot is, he got pissed at me three days ago and bailed. Probably shacked up with Mei again, that’s the first person he runs to whenever we fight.” Ed looked down at the gravel road, kicked some with his scuffed boot. “I am glad you showed to bail my ass out, though. I would have been toast."

Roy smiled. "Anytime,” he said, and ruffled Ed’s hair companionably. Ed ducked his head and scowled, and Roy laughed.
