Burned (a Roy x Ed fanfiction)

CHAPTER 12

I low humming noise was annoyingly sounding in Edwards left ear, a high pitched beep repeated muffled in the background. What was going on? He couldn't seem to remember...

His eyes opened slightly, a sliver of blindingly white light flashed at Ed. He cringed, shutting his eyes quickly again to reduce the pain in his head from the light.

There was a clanking sound somewhere in the room, someone was talking. Who was it though? The voice was stern and serious but defiantly feminine. Ed strained his ears to hear what the person was saying, his ears sounded plugged up, muffled and aching. It was hard to make out much of what they were saying other than a few words like, sure, no, health, and something that sounded like kidnapped.

He strained to open his eyes again. No use. His eyes felt heavy, almost glued shut. He found his hearing getting clear though, there where footsteps from the other end of the room and a higher voice talking, the two voices he'd heard so far were now carrying out a conversation. C'mon where was he, what happened, and what was going on? He never did have patients for stuff like this.

Suddenly his ears popped, there was a bit of a ring and then he could hear again, much better. Now if he could only open his damn eyes.

There was the sound of a cup of some sort being placed on a table and shuffling of feet, a chair being pulled out. "I just don't understand... I mean, once Edward wakes up you know he'll want to go after Envy right?" Said a the more cheerful voice, now clearly Winry.

There was a sigh from whoever was next to Winry. "Yes I'm well aware of that factor, however until we can figure out all the pieces to what happened to Mustang I'm afraid we can't allow Edward to go after his brother." Hawkeye stated in her usual strict tone. "Especially considering both, Edward and his brother along with me and Mustang seemed to be somehow all tied into this whole thing with Envy." She finished.

Edward lay there being as quiet as possible, he figured the longer he lay there the more information he'd receive that they probably wouldn't willingly give otherwise. There was then just a long silence, shortly followed by a harsh cough which was quickly followed by Riza standing up and walking towards the source of the coughing.

The coughing continued for about a minuet. "Please sir, if you'd just drink some water." She said kindly. There was a bit of commotion followed by silence. "There, that's better isn't it...?" She said much more quietly.

Edward couldn't do this anymore his eyes were burning, throat felt tight and hot, his arm was stinging a bit, and his head hurt like hell. He struggled for a minuet before he opened his eyes, he was met with an incredibly bright hospital room, there was a nice blue table in the middle of the room where Winry and Riza were sitting. There was another bed in the back of the room besides the one he found himself in, probably where the coughing was coming from.

He lightly cleared his throat which hurt a lot more then he thought it would've. Winry jumped up and walked over to his side, smiling the entire time, which honestly, was sorta creeping Ed out. "Edward, how are you doing...?" She said sweetly.

Edward didn't reply he just lay there absentmindedly, remembering and piecing everything that had happened together. It was all a lot to take in, especially the fact that the first thing that popped into his head, was Mustang. He remembered how Roy had decided randomly to hug him and show such affection towards him all of a sudden, how much he'd been terrified when he dropped to the ground, how much he hoped he was okay... He could feel his checks getting hot.

"Edward are you feeling okay?" Winry said sounding very confused. Edward nodded slightly knowing both her and Riza where looking at him and that the blush in his cheeks were defiantly showing. But why for Mustang? He hated that bastard, didn't he? He closed his eyes for a second his head still pounding, he thought about it all trying to figure it out.

Hawkeye said something Edward didn't quite catch and he didn't care, oh shit. Edward had a crush on Colonel Mustang.

Authors note: squeeeee, well no duh Edward XD hope you all enjoyed. I think there relationship needs to get somewhere so the next chapter should be a bit more lovey dovey.

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA or any of the characters, if I did there would be a lot more yaoi.
