Disclaimer- Do I really have to keep doing this? It's Sooooo annoying. Anyway, I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist.

Answering Reviews-If you didn't post one, feel free to skip.

Guest- Thank you for correcting the horse mistake. I was thinking heavier horses for carrying heavy objects, people. As for the pairings. I'm not saying I don't like Cannon pairings, I do enjoy them, but I also enjoy AlWin better than EdWin. I'm not sure why. My head tells me to like it, but it just seems like they fight wayyy too much. Anyway, thanks for the reviews! :)

8Fangirl8- Yes, I updated xD I won't leave ya hanging. As for Netflix, it annoys me too. There's a site I use called dubhappy for the last season. Also, they have FMA:B on Sunday mornings at 7. And as for Ed's alchemy, I don't wan't to spoil anything for ya. :) Just watch to find out.

NOW! Onto the story. :) WARNING- Mild blood, violence. Spoilers for Ep. 10 (brotherhood) and up.

-Sta, Et Ambula-

Stand, and Walk

Blood. Red. Crimson. It was all he could see. It was everywhere. The liquid seeped through his hands, his body shaking. He...he had caused this? All of this...everywhere. The red-brown of dried blood. Fire blazed in buildings, screams filled the air. He couldn't feel. He was frozen in horror. No...no more. His mind screamed in agony. He stood, walking to a house across the street. What...what am I doing? No...please, no more...please. He didn't want to...no...More blood, crimson covering the floor. What had he done? The scene changed.

"Roy." Hughes looked at him. Then, in a blink, his face had become molded, decayed. "You left me to die. How could you? Now I'll never see my beautiful wife and daughter again. Why did you leave me?"

"No...no Hughes! I'm so sorry, don't leave me, come back!" he was sitting next to Hughes, blood once again covering his hands and torso. He sobbed. Please..I...I didn't want this. I don't want this! No... Once again, he found himself in a different place. This time, the Elric residence. A bloody Edward lay in his hands, and a disembodied voice called over his shoulder.

"Colonel sir...help him! Please, help my brother..."

"Alphonse? Someone...Ed..." No. Stop. Stop. This..this is wrong. He should have been there sooner. He should have come to the brothers. He shouldn't have looked for Hoenhiem. He should have been there for them. To be their father. To be their protector. Edward's breathing became ragged.

"Ed? No! Look at me! Keep your eyes open! Don't you dare die on me!" his screaming was growing louder.

"EDWARD!" he fell, literally, and jolted awake. His breathing was rapid, and it took him awhile to realize where he was.

"Roy?" Ed's soft voice came from the doorway. Said person was currently sobbing into his hands. Even after everything...his nightmares still came. "What's going on, you were screaming my name and-" Edward took in the sight of the trembling man. "Oh gate help me. You poor man." Ed walked over to the Colonel, placing his hands on his shoulders. He sat there, holding him. After awhile, Edward broke the silence.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't see the good in it, Fullmetal." Ed scowled.

"Well sorry for trying to help!" He stood and turned to go, when Roy grabbed his hand.

"Wait...I'm sorry...will you...sit with me?" the youngers eyes softened.

"Of course. However long you like." They sat in silence for a long time, just enjoying each others company.

"Normally," Ed again broke the peace. "I dream about mom...the day we did that transmutation...she wasn't...she wasn't even human.. Al has to comfort me all the time.." Roy looked up at the quiet confession. Equivalent Exchange, right?

"It...it was...everything I've ever done wrong...Ed... I just.." Edward sat next to him, rubbing soothing circles in his back. "Ishval was...horrible. Fire..Blood, screams...everywhere. I killed so many innocent people, Ed. I...Then Hughes...he...blamed me...for everything. Oh gate Edward. He was rotted and decaying. He...he hates me, doesn't he? I don't deserve anyone's love. I'm-" Edward smacked him.

"Shut up. If anyone's a sinner, it's me. Don't you dare!" Roy looked into golden orbs.

"You."

"What?"

"After Hughes. It was you. You were bleeding...everywhere...Alphonse was telling me to help you. I couldn't move...you were dying in my arms. Good God Edward. It's...too much...you probably hate me too...I should have been there. I should have gone straight too you two. I shouldn't have looked for Hoenhiem. I should have taken care of you...never let you do that transmutation." It was silent. "Do you hate me Ed?" the was a pause.

"You're the biggest idiot on this Earth." Mustang looked up in surprise. "I could never hate you. You're the closest thing I have to a father. And even if you were there, I would have done it anyway." utter silence, then, softly. "And Hughes would never blame you. He was your best friend. He would have done anything for you. Even at the cost of his life. That's just how he was. You couldn't have changed that either."

"I...I just feel so lost...I don't know what to do, where to go."

"You're a smart guy, Roy. Figure it out. You have people supporting you all around. You've got two strong legs, get up and use them." Edward got up, and left the room, leaving Roy to himself. You've got two strong legs, get up and use them. Yes, those were words Edward had once needed to hear himself. And they were words he would never forget.

A/N OMG! I'm so proud. This is my first ending I actually feel proud of! :) Anyway, enjoy, and PLEASE review! It is intended parental, but i suppose you could see it as otherwise. Also, I know it's shorter than some of my others, but I'm feeling short and mushy. Like? Review!
