    Summary

    “I’m sick, Roy,” Edward says, a sort of finality to the statement. Roy pauses, turns towards him.

    “Sick as in… a cold? Or— ”

    “Dying,” Edward cuts him off. “I'm dying, Roy.”

    Their eyes meet, and Ed can tell that Roy already knew, and it makes it all so much harder, so much more unbearably painful.

    Roy sways as if suddenly faint, dropping heavily into his chair and bracing his palms against the smooth wood of his desk.

    “Oh,” he says, voice eerily flat. Still processing Ed’s words.

    Ed also sits, sinking into one of Roy’s couches, calm and contained instead of his usual aggressive sprawl.

    “Yeah,” he replies, softly, a small smile on his face. “Oh.”
