Edward's heart painfully throbbed against his chest, his car wildly spun around a corner. The tires screeched like a blood thirsting monster all the same speeding down the next road. He heard a fearful cry coming from behind his seat "Brother! You're going way too fast, slow down!"
"I can't Al!" he yelled, frustrated about their situation. His mother was paper pale and her face lost all its warmth. Her clammy hands weakly clutched onto Alphonse's arm. He disregarded his brother's warning and sped past any car, they were seconds away from the hospital. What seems like hours to him, he drifted into the nearest parking space and jumped out of the car. Edward ran to the back of his car and forcefully opened the door and proceeded to quickly carry his mother. He ran as fast as he could without dropping what he carrying. Behind him were a set of foot steps steadily keeping up. Having entering the building he ran straight to the receptionist. "Help my mother, she just collapse and won't get up; please hurry and help her!" he screamed all the while begging the poor nurses. They quickly placed her on a stretcher and rolled her away to the emergency room.
One of the nurses from the reception turns to the brothers and look at them wearily. "They're so young and they refuse to shed even a single tear; what a bunch of strong kids," she thought. She tried to smile and lighten the mood. "Please wait in the waiting room while we see to your mother, okay?" She didn't receive a nod or even an answer. One of the brothers proceeded to the waiting room while literally dragging his brother along.
"God damn it Al, let go of me!" he tried his best to pry free of Al's strong hold on his forearm.
"Brother, stop acting that way, we can't afford to distract the doctors anymore." Ed sighed in defeat, his brother was right. He couldn't be anymore frustrated or annoyed as it was, his faced scrunched in a way that made it seems like he was born angry. Al loosen his gripped slightly, just enough for Ed to rip away, he paced his separate direction. Making quite the show of himself and his younger sibling he felt curious stares burning his back. He ignore them rather than barking at the wandering eyes he walked out of the building. He needed to cool off and the cold night was perfect.
"Where are you going?" Normally patient and sweet, noticeably Al was beginning to lose his patience over Ed's rash behaviors.
"Out," Al trotted after Ed. They slowly settled on the cold cement sidewalks allowing the silence and the dark to envelop them. There was no doubt; both boys were deep in their own worried thoughts about their mother.
"D-do you think she's okay?" Al stuttered.
"Of course she is!" Ed snapped at his brother for asking, he was sure of it. His mother can't die. They sat like that for awhile, time flew by it was shy of 2 hours. Anxiety was building up for the brothers as they couldn't help but wonder what will be the out come of everything. Lost in their mind, they didn't notice the drizzle of rain falling upon them until it hit Ed on the eyelid. "Was the world crying for their mother?" his gazed dropped from his thoughts. His brother caught his stare, puzzled by his actions.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"It nothing; Al lets go back in, it's raining." He got up as soon as he was finished; he hastily shoved his hands into his pockets and walked into the building. He always hated hospitals; they always stunk of antiseptics and scarred with faces of expressionless beings. It was a depressing environment; he wondered how doctors and nurses dealt with it. He shrugged off the thought and continued walking toward the waiting room. On cue a middle aged man walked out the room his mother was in. His face was grim and tired, before even saying anything Edward grabbed his shoulders. "Is she alright?" he asked urgently. He looked away without saying anything, he knew would crush this boy's whole world along side his brother's. Ed dropped to his knees and covered his face hard, he didn't want to cry.
"No, no it…it can't be" Al screamed amidst tears, sobbing and bawling his eyes out on the ground. He crawled his way to Al on his knees and hugged the boy. "As much as I want to cry, I have to stay strong for Al," he thought. He stroke his brother's back to comfort him, he wasn't sure what to do. He felt empty, lost and betrayed. The doctor approached him to help them up. He wanted to fill these boys in about their mother as he felt like the least he could do.
"She was diagnosed with blood cancer called Leukemia" he looked away, concentrating on the floor patterns. "She should've come sooner maybe she might have been saved…I-I'm sorry." He finished, Al wouldn't look up and only continue crying but more discretely. Ed look at the man; he bore the face of sadden man washed with years of death, pain and tears.
"Hey Ed?" A feminine voice rung in his ears snapping him out of thoughts, he turned to face the owner of the voice. Locks of light blond hair were held tightly in a ponytail and bangs loosely covering her face. Her sapphire eyes darted away quickly.
"Yeah?" He questioned confused, she didn't answer and pretended to look distracted with her paper work. It took a moment for him to realize he was in class room and more time to register she saved him from a detention. He noted to thank her at lunch or whenever he can.
"5 minutes before I pick up your work." A bored voice travelled across the room, seemingly to try and break the tense silence. Ed realized he hasn't finished the chemistry work pages, frustrated with himself he scrabbled quickly and skim the questions. He sighed in relief as all the questions were simple for him while the rest of the classmates were scratching their heads in an obscure manner. He was impressed of himself, within 5 minutes flat he had accomplished the last 3 pages he left off while lost in thoughts. The teacher wasn't was punctual as he had thought and turned out only 10 minutes later remembered his 5 minutes deadline.
"Alright, hand me your workbooks" he slothfully announced. Slowly, the scraping of chair along the floor and rustling of paper began to fill the room. As on cue, the sound of a bell filled the air prompting the end of class. "Looks like its lunch" he thought. Casually he moved out of the room and to pace the halls. "Wait Ed, wait for me!" the same feminine voice shouted, elongating some words to make herself heard. I stopped twisting my head to see her running towards me.
"Hey Winry, thanks for snapping me out of my thoughts," he grinned brightly towards her. She was flustered, but returned a bright smile.
"Thanks to me you aren't in detention," she said walking away a little to informing for Ed's liking. They continued towards their lockers. Before splitting and heading to their individual lockers he grabbed her wrist stopping her. "Hey… want to… eat with me … and Al…" he paused often to make sure he wouldn't mumble the wrong things. He felt the heat rose in his face, she looked stunned. Normally Ed and Al would eat alone and she would be with her other friends. She has known the two since her childhood but since the death of Trisha, their mother; the brothers were distance towards her.
"Sure!" She did her best to not stutter. She looked at Ed's face amuse to find it a tinge of pink. "How cute," she thought fondly.
"Well see you at the cafeteria then!" she turned and quickly got to her locker. Ed casually walked toward his own locker. He pulled out his lunch to see Al smirking at him.
"You're face is all red, Brother" he emphasized, the corner of his mouth quirked upwards mischievously. The comment surely makes his face deepen; it was definitely the color of his red sweater.
"Shut up," he muttered as coherently as he could, Al seeing his brother's reaction pushed furthered.
"What's got you all worked up? Confessed your love to a girl?" he assumed. Ed turned and gave a bewildered look at his younger brother. His milky chocolate eyes glinted with he could sworn a victorious look.
"What the hell are you talking about, I don't love Winry!" He yelled to ensure he was heard, but quickly regretted his decision, realizing what he had said.
"I mean -" he started embarrassed but was cut off.
"Oh, so it was Winry~!" he sung her names to make things worst for me.
"Will you shut up Al!" Without anything better to retaliate with, Ed fumed away towards the cafeteria.
"Wait for me Brother~!" he continue to sing out what he said. He was happy he in ways had made Ed confessed his feelings. He continued to chase after the elder Elric, skipping victoriously.
