They are different but the same

Title: They are different but the same

Day/Theme: Nov. 7, 'the heart facing mine'
Series: Fullmetal Alchemist
Characters/Pairing: Roy/Ed
Rating: PG

Note: It's implied Roy/Ed. You have been warned.

You only notice their differences when they stand up.

One is short but fair and golden, bursting with pride and youth.
The other is taller, dark and broody, full of self confidence that only comes with age.

And you question why they are similar, why they are together, why they are almost the same.

The question you ask though is:
What lies on your heart? What makes it heavy?

And they both reply the same:
Deaths, promises I've made, promises I've yet to keep and the guilt for what I've done.

They give another response a moment later, as they give another answer to the question: What lies heavily on your heart?

My love for him, they say, eyes closed as they think, as they think of their counterpart they are devoted to with all their heart..

And with this question you know why they are together and why they love the other.
Because, when they sit down again they are the same, their hearts beating in the same place.
