The bender among the alchemists

True love

It's been a few months since Ayame rejected Roy and they haven't talked as much in the last few months. Hughes tried convincing Roy That Ayame needed him but he just said.

Roy: She doesn't need me Hughes, she never did.

Hawkeye tried doing the same thing but with little success, all she said was.

Ayame: Nobody wants a killer as a friend.

Those words left Hughes and Hawkeye confused, what did they mean? Ayame needed Roy and Roy doesn't think she's a killer. They were both really confusing at the moment. One day Hughes went to Roy's tent for some answers, to see him sitting on the ground against his bed with his hood up and his elbows on his knees with his arms hanging off.

Hughes: Roy? You okay?

Roy looks up at him to reveal his puffy eyes from crying, Hughes sits next to him and said.

Hughes: I'm gonna take that as a no. Want to talk about?

Roy looked down and takes a deep breathe and said.

Roy: I, got rejected. By Ayame.

Hughes looked at him shocked, he knew that Roy loved her but he didn't think he was this serious about her. Hughes then asked.

Hughes: You told her? Why?

Roy: Because she started talking again and she smiled even though it was small, it was there because I was with her. I just thought, that if I told her that I loved her, I was really in love with her, then she'd get her glow back but she only saw me as a friend.

Hughes looked at him and saw tears falling down, he was taking this hard. This wasn't just a high school rejection, it was a rejection from a childhood friend that he's been in love with for years. Hughes sighed and wrapped his arm around him, pulling him closer. His friend continued to cry while Hughes just sat with him. Hawkeye was going to talk to Ayame and when she got to the tent, she saw her on the bed with her knees to her chest crying. Hawkeye walks in and asked.

Hawkeye: You okay?

Ayame looks at her with tears staining her face. Hawkeye sighed and sat with her, she looked at her and said.

Hawkeye: I shouldn't have asked that, you cry every night after a battle. I'm here to ask you about Mustang. What happened with you two?

Ayame calmed herself down and looked at her, saying.

Ayame: Roy told me that he loved me.

Hawkeye looked at her shocked. She knew that Ayame loved Roy but didn't think he felt the same.

Hawkeye: What did you do?

Ayame: I rejected him. Because the military didn't allow love in the military and I didn't want Roy to lose his dream of helping people because of me. I'd never forgive myself. And I've killed people Riza, no body would love a killer.

Ayame continued to cry as Hawkeye brought her into a hug. Ayame cried on her shoulder as she rubbed her back. This was hard for Ayame, she never cared about her feelings only other's feelings. So she was hurting more then Roy because she was suffering from breaking his heart and he was suffering a broken heart. Two weeks had passed since then and the war was almost over, Ayame was walking around the place and she heard Hughes and Roy's voice from over a wall.

Roy: This war, was nothing but a blood bath.

Hughes: I hear y'a. It lost allot of people and I'm not talking about this side.

Roy: Yeah. Hey Hughes?

Hughes: Yeah?

Roy: I have a plan. I'm gonna become führer and gonna make sure this Country change for the better, I'll make sure of it.
