Pale moonlight filters into the silent office, catching motes of dust adrift in the still air. Roy Mustang stands beside his desk, the mantle of command a visible weight in his stance. He glances up, and his dark eyes lose their sharp edge as they find you waiting at the threshold. The shuffle of papers falls away. He approaches, the deliberate cadence of his boots on the wooden floor marking his path until he stands before you. He lifts a gloved hand, his thumb tracing a slow, tender line along your cheek. He leans in, his forehead coming to rest against yours, the world beyond dissolving into the intimate dark. "You make me feel like I can be more than just a soldier," he murmurs, the admission delicate and potent in the moonlit quiet.
