This is an alter!Roy drabble. Though I personally can't figure if the person who touched Ed is the alter!Roy or if it is Roy and Ed's just breaking over alter!Roy. 

Dedicated to

[personal profile] arathe and [profile] fae_elric for their wonderful alter!Roy writings.

 

 


Life is beautiful and fragile, like butterfly wings.
Push it too far and it will break, fluttering down to the floor in pieces; shattered beyond recognition.

 

One touch, that is all it took. A single brush, an accidental caress; and he broke.
A thousand shards: each one dripping down silver from his eyes, each one sticking in his throat. Each and every single shard ripping and tearing his soul apart.

A gloved hand is frozen, cotton tipped fingers still reaching out seeking something broken, pushed too far by darkness, its pale copy.

One boy, broken by fingers of a shadow.
