Summary:

It’s early evening, and the sun’s last rays are glinting off the metal in the windowsill. The work day is long over, and the office is mostly deserted - Roy’s jacket is off, hanging on the back of his office chair and his sleeves are rolled up. Alphonse is there too, his crutches left against the wall by the door, and they’re laughing. It’s Edward’s birthday - he never celebrated it, never saw a reason to - but he’s happy, here and now. Roy has a bottle of whiskey on his desk and some glasses, when he offers it to Al Edward gives him a dirty look, but Alphonse declines it. He’s still too weak, he says, the alcohol wouldn’t sit right anyway.

The dying sunlight gives the office a warm amber glow, colored like fine scotch, and Edward catches Roy looking at him with a smile. They can be so open here, right now - he knows Al is watching them and doesn’t care, and Alphonse politely finds the bookshelf interesting when Edward leans down into Roy’s kiss.

He wakes to Rian’s hand on his face, warm and different, wiping the tears from his cheek.
