[...And much, much later, when pretty much everyone is asleep and some time so late that it's actually the first few hours of the next day, Roy's slipping into the clinic.

Fair is fair: he looks pretty good for a guy who went on a high-gear mission. Must come with sleeping for a whole day.

That's him making a beeline for Edward's bed.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[Ed's something of a light sleeper, always has been, so when he hears the footfalls in the otherwise quiet clinic, he shifts, then yawns, then sits up and rubs at his face for a second before looking up to see who it is. Which is harder than it sounds in the scant light.]

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

[...He looks like a kid, for once. It's a little... well.]

Fullmetal.

[Low and quiet, as he slips into the seat beside the boy's bed. He's not quite looking at Ed's face in as much as he's already looking to see just how badly the other alchemist has been injured.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

Colonel?

[normally, he'd say something snappish, but he's still half-asleep and his brain hasn't quite caught up with what's going on, yet. That's another yawn, by the way.]

What're you doing here?

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Checking up on you.

[He leans back, tugs the curtain shut behind him.]

...How long will you be in here?

[It's a rarity, seeing his charge this unguarded, and without a snarky bone in his body. At any other time, Roy might've been amused.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

You wake me up for that?

[a bit of bite in it, but not much]

Probably just another day.

[he tries to avoid asking and getting wrenched, see.]

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

There wasn't any other way to see how you were. Your network post wasn't very informative.

[Because it is so totally how he stays connected to everyone these days.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[You know, this is why he didn't make one to start with.

He waves Roy off]

Wasn't worth posting about.

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Considering your previous record with this sort of thing, I find it hard to believe.

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

What 'previous record?'

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

[...Oh, right.

Bad move, Mustang. You've got to stop doing that.]

Sorry.

[Odd that he's doubling back, perhaps, but the Colonel hasn't exactly been himself these days.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[He raises his eyebrows at the apology, but after a moment, remembers - right. And lets out a breath, slouching slightly.]

I wouldn't do that.

[Said mildly petulantly, softly, and not sounding completely convinced, really. It feels like he's had this talk a lot lately.]

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

[It doesn't go unnoticed.]

I'll take your word for it.

[Seems like they've both been getting 'talks' these days.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

At least someone does.

[Mostly a murmur to himself, really, but definitely audible. He'd be thinking it rather than saying it if weren't. You know. Two or so in the morning and all.]

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

[...Definitely audible.]

Trouble with the others?

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[A short hesitation - much shorter than it should be, though]

Al and Winry.

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[Quiet, neutral, studying Ed's expression.]

They do care for you.

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

I know.

[Promptly, really.]

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

So they'll worry about you by default. Even when you're not going to throw yourself off balconies.

[Yeah, he caught that on the network. WHO NEEDS BIG BROTHER WHEN YOU HAVE MUSTANG?]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[He's almost not surprised, really. He just grumbles a bit, crossing his arms.]

They worry too much.

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

There's no such thing as 'too much' when it comes to family.

[That's something he learned from Hughes.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[Yes, but it's one thing for him to worry and another thing entirely for them to. So Roy just gets a sour look.]

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

It works both ways, Fullmetal. Don't be a brat.

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[He scoffs - you wake me up just to call me a brat? - but sobers after that.]

...It's no good. I always only make them worry more.

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

[Hum.]

And why do you think that happens?
