Golden || Edward Elric X Reader One-Shots

~Regret~

~Ed's Pov~

"Ok I'm here now, what do you want?" I asked.

"Here," Was all Roy Mustang said as he handed me a file.

"What's this?" I inquired.

"A assignment I want you working on," he stated.

"What kinda assignment?"

"You can read can't you?" He asked, sarcastically.

"Why would I waste my time reading when you could tell me?" I responded.

He groaned. "Fine. There's a murderer and I want you to find and apprehended her."

"Oh look Mustang, you learned how to use big words!" I faked being shocked.

"Haha, very funny," he replied, sarcastically. "Just go."

"Fine," I said as I walked out.

Looks like I have a criminal to catch.

-Time Skip-
~(Y/N)'s Pov~

"Vandalism is so much fun!" I thought as I continued on my way, spray painting the side of a random building in an alley.

I heard footsteps and stopped abruptly. I quickly climbed to the top of one of the building using boxes and bars and whatever else was around. A rather short blonde stepped into the alley and looked around. Right before he left I said, "lookin' for me?"

He looked around for a second until he realized that I was above him. "That depends," he paused. "Are you (Y/n) (L/n)?" He inquired.

"What's it to you shorty?" His face got read and he yelled something I couldn't make out. "Woah! Is pipsqueak getting angry?" I teased.

"I'm. Not. A. Pipsqueak." He responded, angrily.

"And I'm not a criminal," I said sarcastically. "Oh look, we both can lie." I giggled.

His face was still red as he said, "just come down here so I can get this over with."

"Oh, so you're the one Roy sent to come get me this time, Huh?" I asked. "Good luck with that," I stood up and started walking away from my spot on the roof.

"Where do you think you're going?!" he yelled.

"Away from here," I stated, blankly. "I'll be come tomorrow. Only if you do to, though. You're fun to mess with short-stack." And with that, I left.

-Time Skip-
~Ed's Pov~

"I know I shouldn't. But I want to. Uhh!! Why is everything so complicated?!" I thought as I was walking back to the same alley where I first meet her 2 weeks ago. I know I should be trying to 'apprehended her' or whatever but I just can't bring myself to it.

I walked into the alley, only to imitatly her her voice, "Heyyyy Eddie~" I looked up to see her sitting on the roof. Again. She jumped down and landed on the ground with a thud. "Come to try to arrest me again?" She asked.

"No," I stated bluntly.

"Did someone finally give up? That's too bad. It was fun watching you fail," she teased. "Oh wait! Is it because you like me~"

"In your dreams," I said.

"More like in yours Eddie~"

-Mini Time Skip-
~(Y/N)'s Pov)~ (so many Pov changes)

How did this happen? I don't even remember. All that I see now is blurry outlines of people swirling around me. Why are they blurry? Because of my tears.

There was a familiar voice. Could I recognize it? Not until after I saw him. Roy Mustang.

Do I remember what he said? No.

Do I care? No.

The only thing I care about is myself. Right?

No.

Roy put on his gloves.

Aimed them towards me.

Snap.

I closed my eyes but all I heard was a scream. I opened them, immediately regretting everything.

Regretting becoming a criminal.

Regretting talking to Ed.

Regretting bringing him into this.

I regret everything.

Why?

Because he saved me.
