Chapter 1: A Secret Untold
Ed was definitely not happy to hear that Colonel Mustang wanted to see him in his office. What does that idiot want now? Ed thought as he was on his way. Well, whatever it is, it had better be good!
He opened the door and saw Roy sitting at his desk reading something. After Ed closed the door on his way in Roy looked up and smirked.
Okay, Roy, today's the day you tell how you really feel. Roy thought. No big deal, it'll be easy. Everything will be just fine. If he feels the same, than great. But if he doesn't, so what? You can move on and everything will be the same way that it has always been. Just act natural. Time and time again Roy had told himself this, though he knew that it was all lies. He was scared to death! God only knew what the outcome of this would be. What if Ed didn't feel the same way about him? How would he move on? And what if things didn't go back to way they were? What would happen then? What would happen and how Roy didn't know, but what he did know was that the only way he could find out was by telling Ed the truth.
"It's been a while, Edward. You're looking as happy as ever." Roy said sarcastically.
"I didn't come for your entertainment, Colonel. Did you want something or what?" Ed said. He was not in the mood for another one of Roy's sarcastic remarks or his irritating insults(but, then again, when is he ever?).
Roy sighed as he stood up and walked up to the window and stared blankly at the outside world.
After a short pause Roy finally spoke. "Please, sit down, Edward."
"I'm fine with standing." Ed said. He was in a hurry and was starting to become impatient. He was already late to getting back home. "So what did you need me for?"
Roy walked up to Ed. He couldn't help but chuckle when he noticed how huge their difference in height was.
"What's so funny?" Ed asked a little ticked off.
"It's nothing, nothing at all." Roy said, remembering how much Ed hated to be commented on his height. He tried to control himself.
Ed was slightly puzzled but he paid no mind. "Listen is this important or what 'cause I've got to get back to Winry before she freaks."
Roy looked at him quizzically. Ed looked at him for a while then he finally realized that he never told Roy.
"Oh, I guess I've been so busy that I didn't tell you," He said scratching his head and smiling, "Me and Winry are together."
Roy felt like Ed had just plunged his hand deep into Roy chest, snatched his heart and smashed it into the ground. His entire world felt like it was collapsing, slowly plunging into darkness. Suddenly it felt like nothing mattered anymore. He felt as though he could collapse right there in front of Ed.
Ed could tell that there was something wrong with Roy. "Hey, you okay? You look like you've just seen a ghost." He asked a little worried.
Roy snapped back into reality. He looked into the boy's beautiful golden orbs and had wished that he could be the one who could look at them everyday. He smiled, "I'm fine...Congrats, Ed. You've finally found yourself a girlfriend."
"Well, You're one to talk. It's been a while and you still don't even have one." Ed said, a little embarrassed.
Roy chuckled weakly."Are you kidding me? I could have any girl in the world, Ed, I just don't take my relationships seriously."
"Right, right. So, anyways, was there something important that you needed to tell me?"
Roy was silent for a while. He quickly looked away, he couldn't bring himself to look at the golden eyed boy any longer. "No, nothing important.You better get home, Ed. Wouldn't want to be late." He said, his voice slightly shaky.
Ed looked at him for a while. He could always tell how Roy was feeling. Why the sudden change in voice? What did I do to make him so upset? Ed thought to himself.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Ed asked a little more concerned.
"I'm fine, Ed," Roy said. He stretched his arms up and gave an exaggerated yawn, "I'm just exhausted from all the paperwork I've been doing."
"I see...Well, I'm leaving. See you, Roy." Ed said, and with that he turned and walked towards the door.
"Alright. Goodbye." Roy said as he went and sat on his desk chair, about to get back to his paperwork when Ed spoke again, his hand on the doorknob.
"You should get some rest soon, Colonel." Ed said, "Wouldn't want that nice face of yours to look bad for tomorrow." And with that Ed had left with a slight blush on his face. He was just happy the Colonel didn't see it since his back was turned.
Roy paid no mind on the flattering words, his mind was too caught up on the news Ed had told him. Roy groaned and sank his face into his hands, his elbows on the desk. "Way to go, Roy," He said to himself, "You've really screwed things up for yourself this time. I mean, come on. Me and Ed? Together? Ridiculous! How can I possibly even think that!" He banged his fist on the desk, After a long silence Roy sighed yet again. "This is all my fault, I shouldn't have fallen in love with another man. And its Edward Elric, no less!...Why can't I go back to the way I used to think of him."
Roy knew that he couldn't just go back to the way things were. He also knew that he couldn't control it when he started falling in love with Ed, either. At first, Ed to him was nothing more than another alchemist who was quite short (in height and in temper) and whom he had happened to work with, but then Ed began appearing in his mind more and more and he began to develop feelings for the Fullmetal until, sure enough, he knew he had fallen in love with him.
He looked at the clock on the wall. 11:30 p.m. He knew he should call it a day, but how would he be able to sleep with something this huge on his mind? Whenever Roy was stressed out about something, he would try to forget about it by either:
1. Drowning his sorrows with alcohol.
2. Have a cigarette or two(...or three...or four...).
3. Work his ass off with paperwork.
Seeing as how he was trying to stop drinking so much and he never smoked while he was at work because it made him feel unprofessional, the only option he had left was option number 3.
So he worked, and worked, and worked until Riza had knocked on his office door.
"Come in." Roy said his head fixed on the papers before him.
Riza opened to door and said, "It's getting late, Colonel, maybe you should call it a day."
"Can't. I've got a lot of work to do."
"But, Sir-"
Roy interrupted her, "I said I'm busy." His was still writing down on the paper.
Riza stood there for a long time until Roy had finally spoken again "Well, what are you waiting for. The door's right there."
Riza didn't show any signs of hurt, she was used to Roy's rudeness by now. She simply said she'd see him tomorrow and left, closing the door on her way out. She stared and the front of the door for a while, wondering if the Colonel was alright and, if so, wishing she could help him. Riza had loved Roy for a while, but she did not dare tell him or anyone else. She had always thought of love as a useless emotion, especially for dogs of the military, but then she met Roy, who was a womanizer, no less! But it couldn't be helped. Riza finally woke up to reality and had almost forgotten that she was still standing at the front of the Colonel's door. She made a soft sigh and walked on home.
Chapter 2: Confused Love
Ed was sitting on the bed of his and Winry's room alone. Winry wasn't staying at the house for long. She was only going to live at Ed and Al's home (Al having his own room while Ed and Winry shared a room, seeing as how their home only had two bedrooms) for about a week or so. Although Ed and Winry were together now, Winry still had her duties at the shop at Rockbell so she couldn't stay forever.
As Edward sat on the bed, he began pondering about Roy and his strange behaviour tonight. "What did he want to tell me?" he asked himself. He had been thinking about the Colonel for quite awhile now, and no matter how much he tried, Roy was constantly on his mind. "What is going on with me. Every time I see him I start to feel light-headed and my stomach feels sick...and what's even stranger is that I like it..." He gave an irritated groan, "What the hell is wrong with me???"
The door opened ajar and Winry's head came through the crack. "Sweetie, dinner's ready."
Ed smiled. "Alright. I'm coming."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed, Al (Al's in his normal body in this fanficiton ^-^), and Winry were all gathered at the table, eating their meals. Except for Ed, who was constantly moving his food around with his fork.
"Edward, honey? Aren't you going to eat?" Winry asked.
"I'm not hungry right now." Ed said, his mind fixed on the Colonel.
"Niisan, what's wrong," Al asked, worried as usual, "You haven't been eating much lately. You should eat something or you'll get sick."
"Al's right," said Winry.
"I'm just...not hungry, thats all."
Winry looked at Ed sympathetically, "Ed, are you alright? You know that you can always talk to me and Al when something is wrong, right? What's the matter?"
"Nothing's...the matter, I'm fine!" Ed said a little louder this time.
"Why do you always feel as though you need to hide everything from me, Ed? Its okay to tell people your feelings when you need to." Winry said.
"Niisan, tell us. What's going on?"
"I said I'm fine!" Ed yelled. He immediately rose from his seat and was on his way out of the room, "I'm going to bed early." He said. His footsteps were heard until they both heard a door slam shut. Winry and Al just looked at each other in wonder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed was lying in bed, facing the wall with nothing on but his boxers. He couldn't sleep, he was too confused. He felt as though his heart was in a blender, as though he was feeling a mix of emotions:fear, sadness, loneliness. He was so confused that he didn't even know what to feel right now except simply confused!
"Damn it," He said to himself quietly, "What should I do? Why do I feel this way about Roy? What is it that I'm feeling towards Roy? Is it loathing? No it can't be. Even though I feel sick around him I feel as though I enjoy it, so it couldn't be hate. Could it be...love?"
It finally hit him.
Do I...love Roy? he thought to himself. But...thats impossible! I can't love Roy, I'm supposed to love Winry! It can't be love...but then again, that would explain everything. The dizziness, the nausea, him constantly on my mind...
"I...I...love him." Ed whispered.
Just as soon as he had said this Winry entered the room. She was in her baggy blue pajamas with white trimmings on the cuffs of the long sleeves and pants.
"Edward, are you awake?" She asked quietly standing by the bed.
"...Yea." He answered.
Winry slowly crawled onto the bed and into the covers. Ed was still facing the wall. She snuggled against his back, hoping to get some sort of response out of him. Nothing. She gave out a small sigh and wrapped her arms around Ed's chest.
"Edward, can we talk?" She asked.
"Sure." He said.
"I'm really worried about you, Ed. Its been about a week or so since you've been like this. You act as though something terrible is on your mind."
You have no idea. Ed thought to himself. "What do you mean? I'm...I'm fine. Nothing's...going on."
Winry drooped her eyes in disbelief, "You're terrible at lying, Ed, you know that."
He took her hands off of his chest, turned around, looked her in the eye and said, "I'm perfectly fine. I'm just exhausted from all the work I've had to do all week."
Winry looked deep into his eyes for a long time. Ed felt like she was probing every inch of him inside. Until, finally, she spoke, "Alright, I believe you, Ed. But if that was all, I wish you would've told me sooner so I wouldn't have had to worry about you so much."
"I'm sorry." Ed said to her meaningfully and kissed her on the forehead. He was too disgusted with himself to kiss her on the lips. Never in his entire life had he ever lied to Winry before. Whenever he would try to, he'd end up faltering midway and pause in the middle of his sentences, feeling bad about even trying to lie to her, and thats how she could always tell. But this time he even looked her in the eye and lied. Right now he felt as though he wasn't good enough to kiss her. "I'll make it up to you, I promise." He said.
Winry smiled, "Sounds good."
Ed gave her a grin. "Good. Good night."
"Good night. I love you."
"I love you, too." Ed said, though he was unsure if this was true. He turned around to face the wall again, and again Winry had wrapped her arms around his chest, but this time it didn't feel right to Ed at all.
All night long Ed just lied there awake, thinking about the many questions that were constantly bothering his mind of which he had no answers to.
Chapter Three: The Blue Flame
Edward was rushing towards Roy's office. Today was the day he'd tell him.
Okay, calm down, no pressure. Ed tried to reassure himself. Last night you told yourself you'd do this just to get it off your chest. You can't live like this, you have to tell him how you feel. If he...loves me as well then...good. But if he...doesn't...love me then...I can move on...right?.....................right...
All of a sudden, Ed began to feel extremely light-headed and he almost tripped. He regained his balance and leaned one hand against the wall, his other hand on his forehead. Everything started to move around him. The floor and ceiling both started to slowly twist and turn, and the walls began to looked like they were closing in. He stayed like this for a while until he started to feel the dizziness subside. He was very puzzled on what had just happened to him. What the hell was that all about? he asked himself. Ed, being as stubborn as he is, decided not to think too much of it and decided to stay focused on the task at hand.
Ed was finally at Roy's office. As his hand slowly and shakily started to rise to the doorknob, he had finally realized one flaw in his mission.
What about Winry?
He was so caught up on his plan to tell Roy his secret that he completely forgot about Winry. She was his girlfriend right now. He couldn't just dump her, he didn't have the strength to break her heart like that.
He began thinking about the situation when Roy had swung the door open as if in a hurry and ran right into Ed.
Roy, of course, didn't fall to the ground, him being much taller than Ed. But Ed fell right on his head.
"Hey!" Yelled Ed as he was rubbing his head, eyes closed, "Watch where you're going you assho--" He opened his eyes to see that it was Roy who had hit him. But it wasn't just the fact that it was Roy that made Ed stop in mid-sentence. It was Roy's face. He looked completely exhausted, as if he didn't get any sleep all night. His face was even more pale than usual, and he had profound bags under his eyes
"Edward..." Roy said quietly. He noticed that Ed's face looked exactly like his: Exhausted and pale with very noticeable bags under his eyes. "I apologize, Edward, here" He said and he held out his hand.
Ed stared at Roy's hand for a while. still on the floor.
"You're supposed to grab onto it." Roy said with a small smirk.
Ed glared at him, "I know that!" He said irritably and he grabbed onto Roy's hand. It was very strange, but at that very moment that he took Roy's hand, he felt like something inside him had burst. He felt uneasy, yet at the same time he felt as though he was at peace. A peace that he had only felt when he was a kid, before his mother died, and he didn't want to let go.
"You can let go now, Edward." Roy said.
Ed woke up from his thoughts and had realized that he was standing up, but still holding Roy's hand. He tried to fight off a blush from his face as he immediately took his hand away from Roy's.
"Thanks for the help." Ed said quietly.
"No problem," said Roy, "Actually, its funny meeting you here. I was just about to come get you."
"For what?" Ed asked
"There's something important that I need to tell you."
"Strange, I need to tell you something important as well."
"We'll talk about it in my office."
Roy went into the office first, Ed following. Roy sat down on the left couch and Ed sat on the opposite couch.
"Alright. You go first" Ed insisted. Although he was acting non-chalant about all of this, Ed had felt as though his heart was pounding so hard that it would explode any minute.
Roy cupped his hands, his elbows on his knees, as he tried to figure how to put what he wanted to say into words.
Roy gave a small sigh, "You see, Ed, its, its like this...I've been thinking about something...and that something won't seem to leave my mind...And I feel as thought the only way I can let it go is if I tell you..."
"Just what are you getting at, Roy?" Ed asked curiously.
"Let me finish. Ed..........I...I lov-"
He was interrupted by the office door being slammed open. It was Havoc.
Havoc saluted before speaking, "Colonel Mustang, urgent news about the Blue Flame."
Roy immediately stood up, "The Blue Flame? Go ahead."
"Sir! We have just received from intelligence that he is heading straight towards Violet park."
"The park? What the hell does he plan to do, have a picnic?"
"With all due respect, Sir, I don't think that this is the time for jokes. This could be our big break!"
"You're right. All right, Havoc, go on ahead, I want that bastard caught as soon as possible. Now, move!"
"Yes, Sir!" And with that Havoc ran off, leaving the door wide open. Ed saw hundreds of military men rushing out of the building heavily armed.
"What the hell's going on?" Asked Ed. "Who's this 'Blue Flame'? Sounds pretty bad-ass if you've got all those soldiers chasing him."
"He's nothing of your concern, Ed." Roy said, looking directly at Ed.
"The hell he isn't! Tell me who he is!"
"Let's just say that me and Blue Flame have been at each other's throats for quite some time now." He said grinning. "And this time he's mine." he mumbled under his breath. "I'm sorry, Edward, but I'm afraid we're going to have to reschedule this little chat. I've got something I must do."
"Wait a damn minute Colonel!" Ed yelled, he was now standing.
"There's no time Ed! I'll talk to you later!" He said as he was walking towards the door.
Ed was now furious."Roy! Will you shut the hell up and just listen to me!?" Just then Ed gave a small gasp as he saw a flash of white. His vision became blurred and he started to feel light-headed, just like he did earlier. He could feel darkness enveloping him. As the darkness slowly crept around him and he lost his balance he could faintly hear the sound of someone's voice, Roy's voice, calling out his name.
He felt as though his body was growing very weak and it scared him.
Roy. He thought Help me...
Chapter Four: Sickness
Ed slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was that he was wearing a large military coat. Is this Roy's coat? he thought to himself.
"So, your awake now."
Ed looked at the couch opposite of him and saw Roy and, low and behold, he was missing his military coat.
Roy gave him a smile, "You alright, Edward?"
Ed moaned and held his hands to his forehead, waves of pain shooting through his head. His entire body ached and throbbed, "I feel like my head was hit by a train."
"You did hit your head pretty hard when you fell."
"How long was I out?"
"For the entire day, its almost 12 o' clock, now."
"Roy...did you...stay here this whole time?"
Roy gave a small blush, "Hey, I couldn't just leave you like that, someone had to watch you, it may as well have been me."
"But what about catching that Blue Flame guy?"
"I told the soldiers to go on with the attack. Unfortunately, he got away...But that's besides the point, Ed. What happened to you?"
"I'm not sure..." Ed said, but then he remembered what his brother said to him: "You should eat something, or you'll get sick".
Ed sighed, "I suppose its just that I haven't eaten anything lately."
Roy looked at Ed more seriously now, "And just when was the last time you actually had a decent meal, Edward?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe three, four days..."
"Four days!? What the hell is wrong with you!?"
Ed looked away from Roy, "I've just had a lot on my mind." He tried to sit up, but try as hard as he might, his efforts were useless.
"Take it easy. Your body must be completely exhausted." Roy looked at the boy lying on the couch. Never in his life had he seen Edward look so terrible. His face wash practically as white as a phantom's, his eyes were almost blood-shot, and now his body was so physically exhausted that he couldn't even sit up. Seeing Ed in such a horrible state made Roy feel sick to his stomach.
"I've got to get up somehow." Ed said, trying yet again to get up. "I can't just lie here all day, I got to get home, before everyone starts to worry about me." Ed's shaky arms grabbed hold of the arm of the couch. Roy stood up, prepared for what he knew would happen. Ed put down one unstable leg at a time, until he felt like he could let go of the couch, but as soon as he did so, his body completely caved in. Fortunately, Roy was prepared and had caught Ed.
"I don't need your help, Roy." Ed said irritably.
"Are you sure?" He said with a small smile.
"Yes! Let go!"
"All right. If you say so." And Roy let go, allowing Ed to fall to the ground.
"Damn it! You bastard!" Ed yelled, lying on the floor.
"Hey, you're the one who demanded I let go, were you not?" Roy smirked.
Ed growled at Roy. Before Ed could yell at Roy anymore, He scooped Ed off the floor, holding him the way a groom would carry his bride after a wedding.
Ed could feel his cheeks begin to burn and although Ed was too exhausted to fight off Roy, he was never too tired to yell. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
"What does it look like? I'm carrying you home."
"I can make it on my own!"
"We've already been through this, Ed. I'm taking you home myself whether you like it or not."
Roy walked out of Central, ignoring Ed, who was screaming all the while for Roy to let go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roy was still carrying Ed, who still had Roy's coat wrapped around his small body. For a while they were silent as Roy walked the quiet streets until Ed finally spoke.
"So, tell me, who is this Blue Flame person?" He asked, trying to figure out a way to forget about the red on his cheeks.
"I suppose I should tell you now." Roy replied, "His name was James Mizuki. He was a good friend of mine. We grew up together. I knew him longer than I knew Hughs. We even became a part of the military together. I became the Flame Alchemist and James, having almost the same technique as I, was named the Blue Flame Alchemist. But that was when everything changed for James. He began to become power hungry, so much so that he even tried to attack the Fuhrer. He had failed and fled. Ever since then he has become a wanted man for attempted murder, and since then, he has been killing countless other alchemists. He thinks that the more alchemists he kills, the more powerful he becomes. There have been many times where he has even tried to kill me. He thinks that since we are exactly the same in strength that battling me would make him much stronger. And so, for years I've been trying to capture him, but, so far, no luck."
"I see...Was I the only person who didn't know about this?"
"Well, you...and Riza."
"Why Riza?"
"Because I know her well. If she found out about James, she would try to help, but I'm afraid she'd only get in the way. He's much too strong for her to fight."
"Oh..." Said Ed, quietly. He felt so safe in Roy's arms. He felt as though all his worries were gone, and that Roy would stay with him forever. He slowly closed his eyes until He had soon fallen asleep in the Colonel's arms.
Roy looked at the young boy. "Ed?" He said softly. He fell asleep. he thought. He couldn't help but stare at Ed's face while he slept. It was so calm, so peaceful. He smiled and softly said, "Sleep tight."
Chapter Five: A Dream of Things to Come
Ed didn't know what exactly was going on, he was suddenly in what looked like a huge battle took place in. He didn't know what to do until he heard a loud cry from somewhere in the distance. He ran toward the sound until he came up to a horrific scene.
There Roy was standing with a huge hole in the middle of his chest the murder standing and watching. Roy began to cough up blood. Ed tried to move, but his legs wouldn't budge.
What the hell is going on!? Ed thought. Roy! I've got to save Roy!!!
Roy fell to his knees and then flat on his face.
Edward screamed in frustration, watching helplessly as the man gave an evil laugh.
The strange man turned to look at Ed. He gave him an wicked smile and quickly ran off. As soon as the stranger had left Ed was able to move his legs again. He immediately ran over to Roy's body. He put Roy's head on his lap and saw Roy's pupils dilating.
"Damn it, Roy! Don't you dare give up on me now!" Ed shouted. He held Roy's hand, feeling the little life Roy had left slowly fading away.
"Edward..." Roy said softly, "forgive me." After he said this, Roy's eyes began to roll to the back of his head and his hand slowly slipped away from Ed's.
"Roy? Come on, talk to me, Roy! ROY!!!" He began to sob as he held Roy's head in his hands.
Ed screamed as he woke up from the terrible nightmare. He was panting and his entire body was sweating. He tried to sit up, but his body refused to move. He turned his head and noticed that he was still dressed and that he was still wearing Roy's coat. He looked around and realized that he was in his room. The door was opened. Winry and Al both came in.
"Ed, are you okay," asked Winry, "We heard you shouting."
"Where am I," Asked Ed, his panting decreasing, "What happened?"
"Roy came to the house with you in his arms," Said Al, "He said you passed out from hunger."
"I see..." Ed said, quietly.
"Thats all you have to say about? After you had passed out and Roy had to carry you all the way here?" Al said, a hint of irritation in his tone. There were some days where Ed's carelessness would be too much, even for Al's nerves.
"What are you getting so worked up over, Al?" Ed said as if him not being able to move was normal. "I'm still alive, aren't I?"
"Ed, be serious. You're starting to scare me and Al," Winry said sadly, "I made stew in the kitchen for you. I'll be right back."
She came back with a bowl of vegetable stew, steam rising from the bowl.
"Now, seeing as how you can't seem to move much, me and Al will have to feed you."
"I'm not even hungry." Ed said, but as soon as he said that his stomach growled loudly. Ed grimaced.
Winry giggled. "Your stomach says otherwise. Now come on, Let me feed you."
"Are you kidding me? I can do it myself, I don't need to be fed like some vegetable!"
Winry ignored his stubbornness. "Al, could you hold Ed's head up, please?"
Al lifted Ed's boy up to the headboard so that he was sitting up a bit. He then put a pillow behind Ed's head so he was more comfortable, all the while, Ed was yelling that he was fine.
"All right Ed," Winry said as she scooped some of the soup up with a spoon, "Open your mouth."
Ed closed his mouth as tight as he could.
"Ed, don't be immature. Just eat the food."
Ed shook his head like a little kid.
"All right, if thats how it is. Al, plug his nose."
At first Al didn't know what Winry had in store for Ed but then he realized it. He put his fingers on the sides of Ed's nose and squeezed just enough to plug it. Ed's face started to sweat.
Winry grinned, "You'll have to open your mouth sooner or later, Ed."
Ed started to turn blue, beads of sweat running down his face. Hard as he tried, he eventually opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath. Just then Winry quickly put the spoon in Ed's mouth. She took the now empty spoon out of Ed's mouth as he reluctantly started chewing the food and swallowing it.
"See? Now that wasn't so bad, now was it?"
Ed didn't reply. He just turned his head in annoyance. Although he was acting as though he hated it, he felt as though he had just gotten a taste of heaven. He hadn't had anything to eat for so long that after taking a bite of food his stomach began to growl even louder than before.
"Now, you have two choices: We could either go on and constantly suffocate you to feed you, or you can just eat the food."
Ed reluctantly gave in, since either way he would lose. "Alright. I'll eat the damn food."
Winry gave him a smile of appreciation. "Thank you." She fed him the food, Al watching grimly at his brother's state. He was worried about Ed. He was Al's brother, after all.
As Ed was being fed the food, feeling a bit humiliated, he had remembered the recent dream he had and shivered. Why do I have this strange feeling about that dream, Ed thought, Its as if I feel that that the dream may have been real. As if its a premonition of something...something terrible...
Chapter Six: Fear
The next day, Ed was still too fatigued to go to Central. Winry and Al had insisted that he stay home until he was better. Ed, knowing well that he'd never win, reluctantly stayed in bed.
Winry went to the kitchen and started making some tea when she heard a knock on the door.
"Don't worry, Winry, I'll get it." Al said as he walked over to the door. He opened the door to see that it was Roy who had dropped by. He was wearing a white button up shirt and black pants.
"Mustang, what a surprise! Please, come in." Al said, stepping away from the door to allow Roy inside.
"Thank you." Roy said, and he stepped inside. "So, how is Ed?"
"Oh, He's doing a bit better, but he's still much too exhausted to go to central."
"Well thats understandable. Actually, Al, I was wondering if I might be able to see him for a minute. Is that alright?"
"Of course. This way." Al led him into Ed's room. He opened the door quietly and peeked through. "Nissan, are you awake?"
Ed spoke, "Yea."
"There's someone here to see you." Al fully opened the door to show Roy standing behind him.
"Mustang? What are you doing here?" Ed asked, quite surprised. He didn't think that Roy would come this far to see him.
"I just came by to see how you were doing." Roy replied.
Winry called out to Al, "Alphonse, could you help me in the kitchen, please?"
"Oh! Excuse me." Al said to Roy and Ed and left.
Ed and Roy were now alone.
There was a long awkward silence. Ed was staring at the wall while Roy was looking down at the floor. Neither of them knew what to say. Ed finally broke the silence.
"So, shouldn't you be at Central?" Ed said.
"I figured that I'd have enough time to visit you. And besides, I left my coat here, remember?"
Ed began show a small blush, remembering Roy carrying him home. "Oh, right..." Suddenly Ed began to cough violently.
Roy jumped, "Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine. *cough cough* I'm fine. I think I'm just coming down with a fever."
Roy's expression started to look serious now. He walked up beside the bed Ed was laying in and slowly brought his face closer and closer to Ed's. The closer Roy's face got, the redder Ed's face became.
"Colonel...?" Ed said very quietly. His heart began to beat faster and faster and he began to feel dizzy.
Roy placed his forehead onto Ed's forehead. Now Ed's face was completely red. Roy did nothing. He just stayed that way for a short time, his forehead touching Ed's. Then he quickly stood up.
"Yea, it feels like you have a fever." Roy said, "Jeez, Ed. You've really banged yourself up this time, eh?"
Ed was still speechless from the touch Roy gave him. He look wide eyed at Roy, his face still red.
Roy's face looked puzzled, "What's wrong?" He asked. He soon noticed the blush across Ed's face. Now he was very puzzled. "Ed? Are you-"
Just then, Winry came into the room with a cup of tea in her hand. "Here you go, Ed." She said as she placed the cup on the drawer by the bed. "Drink all of it, okay?"
"Alright, alright." Ed said.
Winry noticed that his face was bright red. "Ed, your face..."
Ed had forgotten that he was still blushing and he almost panicked until...
"Goodness! You must be getting sick." Winry said worriedly, "Your face is so red! Let me feel your temperature."
She placed her forehead against Ed's to see of he did have a fever, although Ed thought her touch didn't feel nearly as nice as Roy's. Roy twitched as he started to feel a hint of jealousy. My god, Roy thought, I'm even jealous of Winry now!! he was starting to feel a bit pathetic...
"It feels like you have a fever. Gosh, Ed, Today's just not your day." Winry giggled.
Ed just smiled.
"Wait right here, I'll go get you some medicine," said Winry. "Oh, Mustang. Would you like to stay with us for some tea?"
"No, thank you." He replied. "I really should get going to Central now. Goodbye, Winry, Ed." Roy was walking out of the room with his coat now until Ed yelled.
"Wait!" Ed shouted.
Roy looked over his shoulder. "Hm?" He asked.
There was a pain in Ed's stomach. He started to panic as his conscious was screaming inside of him, telling him not to let Roy leave. He felt as though something horrible was about to happen if Roy left. I'm...I'm terrified for some reason. Ed thought to himself. No. I'm just being paranoid. Nothing bad is going to happen, and besides what would I say to make Roy stay?
"Um...Nothing. Never mind. I'll see you some other time." Ed said quietly, almost in a whisper.
Roy looked at him a little more stern now at Ed's behaviour, but he payed no mind. He said goodbye again and left the house.
Winry left to let Ed get some rest. Ed was all alone in his bed, the pain in his stomach growing. It didn't feel like physical pain, but more like a pain of fear.
What could I possibly feel so terrified of? Ed wondered.
Chapter Seven: The Blue Flame Returns
Roy was sitting in his office chair, worrying about Ed and wondering how he was doing instead of getting his work done, when he suddenly felt something ominous coming close. As soon as he turned around, looking straight at the window, his eyes immediately widened in shock.
It was James Mizuki, the Blue Flame Alchemist.
Before Roy could do anything, The man gave a wicked smile and with a snap of fingers, made and explosion that smashed the window open and made Roy fly across the room. He hit the wall harshly on his back. He gave out a gasp of pain, but he immediately regained control of himself and stood up. He watched cautiously as he waited for the smoke to subside. He could see a dark figure walking towards him become more prominent as the smoke was slowly floating away. He could finally see James' rugged face. His eyes were as red as an Ishbalin's and his skin as pale as a ghost. He had long black hair that flowed down to his back and he was wearing clothes that looked so filthy and destroyed that no one would be able to make out what they were anymore. James had an alchemy sign scarred onto his left hand. Roy stood up, his fingers ready to snap when James was only ten feet away from Roy.
"Its been a long time, Roy," James said in a cool low tone. "In fact, its been maybe one, two years? Oh, wait! Its been..five years, hasn't it?"
Roy was silent.
"Ah, yes, thats right! Five years...You haven't changed a bit."
"I could say the same for you."
"So hows about it, Roy? Are you prepared for the worst?"
"The real question is, are you?"
And the battle began.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed tried to forget about the pain in his stomach, but as time passed on, the more fear he began to have. He finally made a decision to go to Central, just to see if everything was okay. He got up, his body still weak but not enough for him to collapse, put his red coat on, and snuck out of the house, making sure that Al and Winry didn't see him leave.
If they catch me, they'll tie me to the bed for sure! Ed thought. He knew they cared about him, but there were times where he thought that they cared a little too much.
He was already nearing central when he saw a huge explosion on the very top right corner of the building.
"Thats Roy's office!" He shouted, and then he ran as fast as his body would let him until he began to violently cough, his throat burning with each cough. He fell to his hands and knees, one hand covering his mouth, as his coughing grew worse. Soon he stopped coughing. He took his hand away from his mouth and widened his eyes in fear as to what he saw. Blood. Lots of blood. Apparently, this was no fever. He wiped the blood onto his coat, got up and just kept on running, keeping his attention on Roy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roy snapped his fingers, but before the explosion occurred where James was standing, James immediately pounced to the right. Again, Roy snapped his fingers and again, James was still dodging the attacks with ease. Roy was about to continue the routine until he noticed the walls were beginning to slightly shake.
If I keep this up, the whole building will collapse along with everyone in it! He thought to himself. I've got to lure him outside, where its safe.
"Why did you stop all of a sudden, Roy?" James said mockingly, "I was beginning to have so much fun."
Roy didn't answer. He just started running, trying to get out of the building as fast as possible.
James chuckled, "Running away, eh? That's not like you at all." He began chasing Roy.
Roy ran down the flight of stairs and through the halls until he was finally approaching the final door that led outside. He pushed them open and began running again when he saw Edward standing at the gate of Central.
"...Roy?" Ed said, looking at Roy curiously. He noticed Roy was panting hard, as though he was running away from something.
Damn it! Roy thought. He yelled at Ed, "Get out of here! Now!"
"What?" Ed responded.
Just then, the door was blasted open and James walk through the now huge whole in the wall.
James smiled, "Are you finally done running now, Roy?" He was about to attack when he noticed a small blond haired boy standing nearby. "And just who might you be?"
Ed looked at the man. Before he could answer Roy intervened.
"He has nothing to do with this!" Roy shouted, "Your target is me, isn't it, James?"
James? Ed thought. This must be the Blue Flame Alchemist!
"I suppose," James sighed, he was going to ignore the kid until he noticed the pocket watch in his pocket. It was the same kind that every state alchemist wore. He became curious. "Just tell me this, kid. Are you by any chance a state alchemist?" He asked, although he already knew what the answer would be.
"What's it to you?" Ed asked suspiciously.
"I think I have my answer." James said menacingly. He smiled and licked his lips as if he was about to have a bountiful meal. "I'll deal with you later, Roy. Right now I'm going to enjoy killing this pip-squeak, first."
Ed became furious, a vein popping on his forehead. "What did you call me, you bastard!?"
"Why don't you fight me and find out."
Ed was ready to pounce when Roy shouted at him, "Stop right there, Ed!!"
Ed halted and looked at Roy, puzzled.
Now Roy was pissed, "James!!! Don't you dare touch Ed! If you so much as lay one finger on him, I'll kill you!!"
Ed couldn't believe it! Never in his life had he heard Roy sound so angry before.
James became even more curious, "What does this kid possibly have to do with you? Oh I see, you seem to have some sort of a bond with him, am I right?"
Ed looked at Roy in shock, Roy clenching his teeth in irritation.
James kept going, "Well, if that's the case, then its all the more reason to kill him first, just to see your painful expression as I blast his tiny little body to bits."
With a snap of his fingers, James made a blue fireball appear on his hand, and before Roy could do anything, James had swiftly charged at Ed, his left hand ready to strike. Ed quickly dodged to attack and James struck the wall instead, leaving a single hole in the wall, like that of a bullet hole, but much larger.
"What the hell kind of alchemy is that!?" Ed shouted as he clapped his hands together and formed a sharp blade onto his metal arm.
"Well, to put it simply, my fireballs can strike through anything, even steel. It leaves a gaping hole with whatever it touches, so, in other words, if its gets you, your a dead man." James replied. "I hope your not scared, shrimp."
"I'll show you whose scared." Ed said confidently. He was about to begin the battle when he suddenly began to viciously cough. He held his hand to his mouth as the coughing wouldn't subside and fell to his knees, feeling dizziness overwhelm him.
Now's my chance. James thought and he immediately snapped his fingers, letting a blue fireball yet again appear onto his hand and charged towards his open target. He was about to strike when Roy came between the two and blocked the attack by punching James right between the eyes. James flew back a few feet and fell right on his back.
Roy ignored James for a moment and went to Ed to see what happened to him. Ed had stopped coughing and Roy began to help him up when he noticed that Ed's hands were now covered in blood.
Shit, Roy thought. He's definitely in no condition to fight, but he''l never listen to me if I just tell him to stand aside. I've got to figure out a way to prevent him from fighting.
"I'm fine, Roy, I can get up on my own." Ed said.
Roy let go of Ed as Ed swayed a little. He regained his balance now.
"Edward, I'm going to have to ask you to stay out of this fight." Roy said.
"Why the hell should I?"
"He's not your problem, he's mine."
"Bullshit! He tried to kill me, so he's now my problem as well!"
"He's too strong for you, Ed."
"I'm strong enough to kick this guy's ass! What are you saying, that I'm weak!?"
"No, dammit! Ed listen to me-"
"No way in hell am I going to back out just because you don't think I'm-"
"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU GET HURT!!!" Roy shouted out passionately.
Ed's eyes widened in shock.
Roy continued, "I just...I don't want to have to see you get hurt, Ed. I'm not strong enough to see that happen."
"Roy..." Ed said, still baffled by Roy's words. He wasn't exactly sure what Roy meant by all of this, but it made his heart swell no less.
"Please. Just..stay out of this."
"I can't just let you go and fight him alone." Ed said .
Roy sighed, "That's what I thought you'd say..."
Roy looked deep into Ed's eyes, knowing that this might be the last he'd ever see the golden boy again.
Roy said in a low and sad tone, "Edward...Forgive me."
Ed was startled at those words. He remembered Roy saying those exact words to him in his dream. Before Ed could do anything, Roy punched Ed in the stomach, knocking Ed unconscious. Before Ed fell to the ground, Roy held onto him and carried him to the wall by the gate. He placed Ed down and said, "I'm sorry, but I had no choice." He walked towards James, who was now just getting up.
James was now up and ready for another round, his blood began to rise in anticipation. He rubbed his now swollen cheek and said, "Hm, you pack a powerful punch, Roy. Let's just hope that's not all you can do."
Chapter Eight: Don't Touch Him!
"Edward, would you like anything to ea-" Winry said as she entered Ed's room, but she stopped mid-sentence when she noticed that no one was in the room. She looked around, just to make sure he was really gone. "Edward...?" She found no one. She ran out of the room into the living room, where Al was reading a book on the couch. "Al! Ed's missing!"
Al immediately put down his book and stood up. "Where's he gone to?" He asked anxiously.
"Well, if I knew that, then he wouldn't be missing!"
"Right...Well, where could he have gone to?"
"Well let's think like Ed. Where would I be if I was Ed..."
They both knew the answer right away and said in unison, "Central!"
They ran out of the house towards Central. They only hoped that he hadn't collapsed and maybe even seriously injured his head. They were nearing Central, when they noticed a huge hole on the top right corner of Central.
"What do you think happened?" Winry asked Al as they continued to run.
"I'm not exactly sure, but whatever it is, it doesn't look good!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they were at the gate of Central, they found Ed lying on the ground next to the gate. They swiftly ran to him.
"Edward!" Winry said worriedly, "Edward, are you ok?"
Al was just as worried as Winry. "He's unconscious! What do we do?" He said. He then looked up and noticed Roy and some stranger, but there was something evil about the man that gave Al shivers up his spine. He ignored the chills as he asked Roy, "Roy what's going on?"
Roy turned around and saw Winry and Al surround Ed. He shouted, "Al, get Ed out of here! Its too dangerous here!"
"But what about you?"
"I have to deal with this man myself."
"But-"
"Go! NOW!!"
Al nodded and carried Ed on his back. He struggled a bit , Ed's weight pulling him down. He's a lot heavier than he looks! He thought. "Let's go, Winry." He said.
Winry and Al took one last look at Roy before they fled.
Roy sighed in relief, "Now I can deal with you in peace."
James cackled, "Don't act so calm so soon, Roy. The battle's only begun, after all."
Having said that, James charged forth, faster that a jaguar, his left hand holding a fireball, ready to slice.
Damn it! Roy thought, He's too fast!
Roy had managed to dodge the attack, but not soon enough. The fireball was able to cut deep into Roy's side. Roy cried out in pain, almost tumbling to the ground. He could feel white-hot pain searing through the wound.
James leaned his head back in contentment and gave a smile of appreciation, "Ah, your pain brings back such sweet memories of the previous alchemists I killed. But don't be jealous, you will definitely become my sweetest memory."
"Like hell I will!" He said shakily. He could feel blood rushing down his wound. He held his hand to the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. He could see the world around him begin to blur. I'm losing too much blood He thought. At this rate I'll...
Roy was interrupted from his thoughts when James spoke, "Oh, and seeing as how you seem to favor that midget I saw earlier so much, I think I'll kill him as well. When I'm finished with you, of course."
Roy clenched his teeth in pain and anger. "Don't...you...dare!"
"Oh yea, I can see it now. I'll cut him up nice and slow, so I can admire my beautiful art longer. But first I'll burn his skin slowly. He'll already be in so much pain by then, and it will only be the beginning of the fun!"
"James...don't...you dare!"
"Yes, me and lover-boy are gonna have a hell of a time!"
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Roy was completely enraged! He was so angry that his pain felt as though it never existed. His face was filled with hate and disgust.
James looked at the new Roy with excitement, "Now we're getting somewhere!"
Chapter Nine: Equivalance
Ed began to gain consciousness. He was slightly light-headed. He felt like he was moving, but he didn't feel his legs moving him. He opened his eyes and saw that he was on Al's back. Suddenly he felt a pain shoot up from his stomach, as though someone had punched him there. He gave out a groan, causing Al and Winry to stop and look.
"Ed, you're awake!" Winry said.
"Al...put me down. I can walk fine." Ed said quietly.
"Are you sure?" Al asked.
"Yes." Ed replied. Al put him down. Ed's legs were slightly shaking, but he managed to stand. "What happened? Where's Roy?"
Al and Winry looked at each other in discontent.
"He told us to leave," Winry answered.
Before she could say anymore, Ed shouted, "You're telling me that he's out there fighting that thing!?!?"
"Edward, please-"
"I'm going back!"
Al finally intervened, "You can't! You're still too ill to fight!"
"I can manage just fine!" Ed insisted.
"Niissan, I can't allow you. I don't care if you're my older brother! You'll get yourself killed if you go!"
"But I have to go! Roy's in danger!" He said. He started to run back to Central until Al caught him, holding Ed's arms to his back in one swift motion.
"Alphonse, let go!" Ed struggled, but Al's grip was much too tight. Winry gasped as she put her hands to her mouth, startled by the havoc going on.
"I can't let you go there in your state!" Al said, holding on tighter with each time Ed tried to struggle.
Ed started to go in a panic, worried that he'd be too late to save Roy, "Al, please! I can't let him die! I LOVE HIM!!!!!"
Both Winry and Al gasped and stood there, motionless. Al, being completely shocked, had weakened his grip on Ed. Ed pulled away and looked at the two.
Tears began to roll down Winry's cheeks. "It can't be..." She thought out loud, her voice shaky, "It just can't!" She fell to her knees, put her hands to her face and began to sob.
Al looked at Ed, his eyes wide, "Brother...is this true?"
Ed immediately looked down at the ground, "...Yes."
Al was amazed. All he could do was stare into his brother's face, mystified.
Ed knew that he had to settle things with Winry and Al later. Right now he took this as his opportune moment. He looked at the two and with a sympathetic tone said, "I'm sorry." And he quickly ran off.
Please, Roy! Ed thought as he ran, Please! Don't die on me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roy charged blindly towards James. He swiftly gave James an uppercut, causing James to fly into the air. James was about to have his face meet the floor until he quickly put his hands to the ground, bouncing off into a back flip and landing clean onto the ground. James then, with a snap of his fingers, caused an immense explosion to occur right where Roy stood, but Roy was quick and he jumped to the right, dodging the attack. As he landed though, he staggered a bit, feeling queasy from the loss of blood.
Damn it! Roy thought, Keep it together, Roy. You have to pull through!
"What's this? Is the mustang getting tired?" James taunted as he walked toward Roy, "You know what happens to injured horses, Roy. They get put down."
Ignoring the comment, Roy controlled his balance and snapped his fingers, but James managed to dodged the explosion. James was now running towards Roy, faster than anything Roy had seen!
Shit! Roy thought.
He snapped his fingers, but with each snap he made, James managed to dodge the explosion, still running towards Roy, getting closer and closer, until he had the opportune moment to strike Roy down. In a flash, James snapped his fingers, a fireball formed and he was going to strike.
"Its over, Roy!" James shouted.
...No! Roy thought as the fireball was nearing his chest. Just then he heard a familiar voice shout out his name.
James abruptly stopped, the fireball in his hand merely inches away from Roy's chest.
Both Roy and James turned their head to see that it was Ed.
Ed's eyes were slowly being filled with anger.
Roy shouted out, "Ed! What the hell are you doing? Get out of here!"
Ed shouted back, "What am I doing here? I'm trying to save your dumb-ass!"
"This man's too dangerous! Just leave! Forget about me!"
"Forget about you!? How can I!? All I can do is think about you! I have been for days and its driving me nuts!" Ed blurted out. Immediately Ed gasped, realizing what he had just said and gave a blush.
"Edward..." Roy said quietly. He became wide-eyed at what Ed had just told him and he too was starting to blush.
Ed decided that he should continue. He looked down at the ground and began, "I can't ever forget you, Roy. I just can't. Its as though you've been burned into my memories, so that at every hour of every day...all I remember is you..."
Even James, cold hearted man that he was, could feel the emotions that were being aroused in the air as Ed had confessed these things to Roy. He could feel a feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time and it made him feel uneasy. He tried to regain his cool low voice, but it was a little off and shaky, he was still uneasy, "Aw, isn't that sweet? I think Roy's got yet another secret admirer. You always were the man everyone fell for, Roy."
Ed looked up in anger now, but James began again, "I think I've held up this little charade long enough!" James was about to strike when Ed began to speak.
Ed's eyes were now full of sadness as he shouted in desperation, "Please don't kill him! I'll do anything!"
Now James was interested in what the boy had to say, "Oh, is that so?" He said, triumphantly, "And just what are you willing to do for such a man as Roy?"
"..........Equivalant Exchange," Ed began, "My life...in exchange for Roy's. That sounds fair...right?"
Roy panicked, "Ed, no!"
James smirked in pleasure and spoke, "Hmmm...You'd really go so far as to give up you life for his, eh? I don't understand it. Why would someone be so foolish enough as to give up their life for the sake of someone else's?"
Ed ignored James and in a quiet tone said, "So...do we have a deal?"
Chapter Ten: Comfort and Comrades
Winry still couldn't believe what was going on. How can this be happening to me. She thought. But...I love Edward...so much. This is all just a horrible nightmare. It has to be! She heard a familiar voice softly say her name. She removed her hands from her face and looked up to see Al standing with his hand in her face."Come on, Winry," Al said quietly, "We've got to go get help."
"But...Ed. He said...he said that he...loved..." Winry tried to find the words, but she could not bring herself to say them. Soon more tears began to flow down her cheeks.
Al felt horrible as he watched Winry in this state. Winry... Al thought, If you only knew how much it hurts to watch you like this. He went down to his knees, brought her chin up so that they were eye to eye, and said softly, "Winry, please stop crying."
Winry could hardly see Alphonse as more tears were still flowing as she said, "How can I? All this time I thought we would be happy together. I thought we could...I thought we could share a life together!"
Al clenched his fists. He could not bear to see her suffer like this. He gently pulled her arms to him so that her body would be closer to his and wrapped his arms around her, holding her. Winry blinked in surprise at first, but she soon accepted this embrace. She buried her face in his shoulder as she continued to sob, her arms slowly wrapping themselves around Al's body. They simply stayed like this in what felt like to Al an eternity but at the same time a mere second. By holding Winry like this, Al could feel Winry's pain somehow, and it felt excruciating. After a while, Al reluctantly pushed Winry gently away, knowing well that they had to get help and that they couldn't stay like this for long.
"Winry, I'm sorry, but we have to go get help now," Al said in a quiet tone, "Are you okay now?"
Winry simply nodded in response, the tears had stopped. Al got up first and helped Winry up. He quickly went into action mode, "So," He said, "Who should we call for help?"
Winry tried to come to her senses, "Well..Lutenant Armstrong might be able to help. But isn't today his day off?"
"Don't worry. I hardly think that he'll refuse to help us in a situation like this. Come on, I know where he lives. It's not far from here." And soon the two were off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Panting, Al and Winry had reached Armstrong's home. Al immediatly rang the doorbell and banged the door loudly until Armstrong soon opened the door. The tall man looked around to see no one there until he looked down and saw Winry and Al.
"Alphone Elric! What a pleasant surprise!" Armstrong said cheerfully, "And what brings you h-"
"Mr. Armstrong, sir," Al wheezed out, interrupting Armstrong, "We need your help. It's about Ed!"
The beefed stout man raised a non-existing eyebrow, "Oh? Is that so."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James Mizuki gave an evil chuckle, "You're really serious about this! Never in my life have I met someone as weak as you!"
Ed looked at James in the eyes with sympathy, "You're right, James. I'm weak, but this is merely because I'm human. No matter how hard we try, we can't escape this. Not even you James. Even you have a weak point somewhere deep inside that bitter and cold heart of yours. You're just too scared to see it."
James clenched his teeth, "Shut up, or so help me I'll blow your goddamn brain up!"
"So thats you solution, huh? Kill anyone that tells you the truth that you already know, so that you don't have to face it. You really are a coward, James."
"Shut up!!" James fisted his hands tightly.
Now Ed shouted out, "We can't escape what we already know, James!"
"I SAID SHUT UP!!!" James became blind with rage. He charged towards Ed with incredible speed.
