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

arathe and 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.

...Y'know, now that I reread it, it does seem more like the General than Roy. 'Accidental', that's the word that sticks out in my mind. What happened between Ed and Roy was certainly no accident, but things with the General would be different.
