Burned (a Roy x Ed fanfiction)

CHAPTER19

Ed hung lifeless from the old wall, Envy had taken a short break from the continued torture after about three or so hours. Ed had unfortunately woken up at his own pain several times through the torture, involuntary tears streamed down the blondes cut, and bloody face as he whimpered and yelped into the gag.

Roy had continued to struggle almost the entire time, to little success. After a while Envy chucked an emptied syringe at Roy because he was tired if listening to him scream, it had hit him directly in the face and when he continued to yell, Envy had crossed the room and beat the shit outta his face, leaving is severely bruised and bloody. Thigh it didn't compare to Ed's.

Roy finally shut up after Envy had taken his anger out on Alphonse and Riza by tossing them both into a storage closet full of old, rotting papers and rats.

Mustang needed to get them both out before Envy came back with more 'medicine' for Edward, also known as really fucked up drugs which were giving Ed slight seizures, headaches, and coughing up frightening amounts of blood. Every time the younger, blonde alchemist woke up he knew what was coming and just stared at Roy sadly.

"...Edward...." Roy muttered to himself longingly. "I'm so, so sorry..." He bit his bottom lip, flinching because it was swollen and bruised causing a fair deal of pain.

Why had he come here? Riza warned him it was a bad idea, Roy being still in recovery and all. Maybe if he hadn't come here none of this would've happened to Edward. He mentally scolded himself for thinking that way, that wasn't going to get them out of here.

He built up as much strength in his body as he had left, on the count of ten he would break the loosened chains and help Ed. He just hoped he could actually do it.

1, he took a deep breath in and held it.

2, he tightened his blood covered hands into fists.

3, he let out the breath he'd been holding.

4, he shut his eyes.

5, he put his tired arms up high.

6, he leaned forwards on his chains, causing them to run out of slack.

7, another deep breath.

8, almost ready...

9, held his breath again.

10, he thrust himself forwards with all his force.

Roy slammed against his chains hard, he felt his head throb and still weak stomach turn. His eyes were shut tight as he slammed against the chains for the third time, he was giving up by time he had done it a fourth, crash!

Roy felt the chains loosen and before he knew it he was collapsed on the floor. He'd done it. He stood quickly, his head spinning. He had to get Ed out of here, but then what about Riza and Alphonse? Mustang couldn't leave them here... Damn it.

He turned around, he HAD to choose, save his love and possibly risk himself and defiantly the others, or save Riza and Al, leaving Ed and possibly himself to die.

"Sir!" Said a booming voice from across the room. "Let's go, shal we?" Riza said sternly.

Mustang grinned despite how much it hurt, she was standing next to Al who was put back together and only slightly battered. "Lieutenant, a little hel-" he was interrupted by a coughing fit and a thick foamy saliva coming from his mouth. The poison for before, clearly still in his system.

"Sir!" Riza yelled as she ran to his side holding him up. She slung the beaten down flame alchemist over her shoulder. "Sir, let's get you outta here."

Al ran towards his elder brother. "Nii-San!" He undid one cuff after the other. He grabbed the limp blonde once he fell from the wall, free from chains. "L-let's go..." Al mumbled.

---------------Riza's car------

They sped down the highway, back towards the hospital. Roy was drifting in and out of sleep.

"No!" Mustang suddenly shouted, slamming a hand over Riza's. She turned quickly to look at the flame alchemist in the passengers seat next to her, and slamming on the breaks. "We can't go to the hospital..."

"Sir?"

"Just trust me, I'll be fine and I can take care of fullmetal at my place. You two need to get back to HQ immediately." He said urgently.

She nodded and turned the car around and headed for Mustangs house. Al hugged the still unconscious, whimpering Ed in his lap closer to him. "M-mustang....?" Al whispered quietly.

Roy weakly turned around in his seat to look in the back at Al. " yes?" He said kindly.

"Uh, it's not that I don't trust you b-but shouldn't brother be in a hospital...?"

"More than likely, but we can't afford to take that chance. That's the first place envy'll look."

"B-but isn't you're house a bit obvious?" Al questioned.

Riza smiled and replied for Roy. "Yes it would be, we aren't going to his actual house." She explained. "We're going to a fake one we have placed just outside Amestris. They'll both be safe there until we can finish up this Envy issue."

"Going to HQ however would put both me and you're brother at risk, especially considering Envy could technically be any of them." Roy said closing his burning eyes."

"Right" Al said, grasping everything just said.

"Just say we are 'out of town' for a bit. They should get what you mean." Roy said to Riza, she nodded and went back to focusing on the road.

---------twenty minuets later at the house---

Mustang stepped out of the car, trying to stand as tall as possible and look far more stable than he felt. Al opened the back door and carefully handed him Edward.

Roy scooped up his lover in his arms and held him to his chest. No words where said, they just nodded, closed the car door, and drove off.

Roy stepped inside the building and walked into one of the two bedrooms, he needed sleep badly but wasn't about to leave Ed alone, Ed's breathing was quiet and raspy.

Mustang slipped off Edwards blood stained jacket, and lay him down in bed. He then carefully undid the stiffened laces and slid off The blondes shoes. He sighed realizing every bit of clothing on the boy was coated in a thick spread of blood and grime.

Roy carefully brushed the hair from Edwards pale, cut, and bloody face. He'd need to clean him up after this too. He undid the buttons on Ed's shirt one by one until he could slide it off, exposing a sliced and bruised body. Roy shuddered at the sight, something he could've prevented if he hadn't been so weak.

He lifted his arm up off Edwards lap only to find yet more blood, damn he was going to really have to take off EVERYTHING. Roy took a deep breath, he couldn't loose anymore of Ed's trust, he undid the fly to his lovers pants and slid them off. This exposed a slender, pale, damn gorgeous body, also cut up. Roy face-palmed for thinking like that.

fullmetal was drugged with a shit storm of stuff, cut, bloody, bruised, and unconscious and all Roy could think about was about how easily he could get in the kids now-removed-pants?!

Ed shuddered suddenly as he woke up.------------------------Roy ran a cool wash cloth across fullmetals forehead, he cringed as the cold water ran down his face into various cuts across his body.

Ed held Roy's hand tight, for two reasons really, one is that the water hurt like hell on his skin, and two he like the feel of his warm skin touching his own.

"This might hurt, just hold on okay?" Roy said rather sweetly as he ran his thumb back and forth over Ed's hand. Edward took a deep breath, preparing for the pain sure to follow.

Roy tipped a bottle of rubbing alcohol onto a washcloth, dampening it with the substance. Roy sighed deeply knowing it was going to hurt Ed badly, he really didn't want to hurt him anymore then he already had.

With one quick movement, Mustang swiped the cloth across Ed's face, the liquids getting into several cuts and wiping away most of the blood.

"Gyahhh!" Ed yelped loudly, his face turning a interesting shade of red after realizing Roy was looking pitifully at him. He tensed up as the stinging, searing pain surged through his body.

"Shh, it's okay." Roy said reassuringly, as he poured more on the washcloth and dropped it over a deep and open wound on his chest. Ed screamed again, arching his back in pain.

Damn, Roy couldn't do this, not even to the fussy, short, annoying, blonde he'd fought for several years now, he couldn't pain the beautiful, strong, inspiring, young man he'd grown all to fond of.

Ed continued to grip the bed sheets tightly in his fists, his blood stained fists, knuckles turning white. He let out another agonized scream before it was muffled by Roy's soft, warm lips.

This had thrown Ed off guard, he loved him, Him Edward Elric loved Roy Mustang. And he was kissing him, he was happy despite the pain, and he could feel oddly safe under him.

Roy leaned over Ed, hands over one another, hot breath teasing down each other's necks, soft, sweaty skin pressed firmly, a hot wet kiss, yes Roy was content like this. Only breaking the kiss for a moment to catch there breath.

Mustang dared push his tongue against Ed's lips, asking for entrance which was quickly granted. Roy was confident purely from practice, but Ed was clearly less comfortable which bothered Roy deeply, he could feel the blonde shaking slightly under him. Roy pulled the blonde up smoothly into a sitting position and hugged him tightly, lessening Ed's shaking.

They're tongues battled for dominance, quickly won by Mustang after a mutinies or two. Edward broke the kiss, breathing hard. He lay back against the head board of the bed, panting for air.

Oddly enough Roy found himself breathing quite hard too, which was strange considering the short amount of time the kiss lasted (for Roy anyways) he felt something hot and wet on the corner of his mouth, Roy touched it with his finger, showing the thick foam from earlier.

Ed's eyebrows furrowed. "M-mustang...?" He said still breathing hard but sounding more like Ed then he had in a while. "A-are you okay?"

Roy nodded, getting up and washing it off in the sink across the room. He could see the concern on Ed's face through the reflection in the mirror. Just the poison he thought.

Roy wiped away several traces of blood off his face from Ed's hands when caressing one another. "Hey Ed?" Ed looked up at Roy.

" ya huh?"

"You wanna get some rest?" Roy questioned.

Ed shook his head. "Nah, don't think I could sleep."

"I could... Sleep with you, if you want."

Ed blushed, and shook his head. He was clearly taking that the way Roy had put it quite well and it made Roy squirm a bit.

"Nah, thanks Mustang." Ed said, sounding like himself again. "I can't sleep at all right now, too much blood."

Roy sighed. "Hm? Then a shower?"

Ed nodded slightly. "Sure that works."

Roy helped Ed out of bed, Edward was strong so he was able to make his way across the room with little struggle. As Ed grabbed a towel off the shelf next to him he giggled and said, "but ya know after the shower, I might just take you up on that whole sleeping-with-me thing." And closed the bathroom door.

Authors note: not AS sad, and the next one should be lots cuter and maybe a tiny bit if smut??? I can't decide yet. Hope you all enjoyed!
