YAY! THE LONG AWAITED 4th CHAPTER!!!!! enjoy this:)
"Yeah, Brother's strong, he'll wake up soon, I'm sure of it"
"So, Al... Are you just gonna stay here until he wakes up??"
"Yes, Why do you ask?"
"He may not wake up for a while though. Maybe you should go and get some of his things, and yours too. He may want to see something familiar when he wakes up." Mikomi glanced between Ed and Al as she talked.
"Oh, yeah, that sounds good"Al nodded "Our house is a bit far tho..."
"You can get a taxi, right??"
"Yeah, so I guess I'll be back in about an hour then." Al ran out the door.
"Ed... I know you're not awake, but I just really need to talk." tears came back to her eyes "I didn't want to talk to Al about it... It's just that, if I loose you... I don't know what I would do" She started to sob.
"I know I'm a flirt, sometimes just to make you jealous... Ed... oh... this is silly, you're not even listening... how could you, you're out cold." She just sat there crying on the foot of Ed's bed. 'being here at his side just makes me cry, thinking he might...no, he cant...' she got up to leave the room for a minute. Just then the door burst open.
"Well well, look who we have here"
"Wha?" Mikomi sniffled "Oh, Mustang, it's you... wait! What are you doing here anyways?"
"Oh, I just came here so see how FullMetal was doing. The hospital contacted me once they had seen his watch"
"Ahh... I see. Well, he can't talk to you right now." She wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Oh, really?"
"YES REALLY! he... he's out cold now... the doctors aren't sure when he'll wake up"
"So it's that bad... Well then, when he wakes up, give him my best regards"
"Why are you suddenly being so nice?"
"He's enough trouble without the paperwork, as are you" He snickered
"I knew it, you have not one kind bone in your body!" She pouted
"Heh, think as you will, but now, I think it is best if you stay there by his side"
"Thank you, sir." She looked him strait in the eye as she talked "And I'll be taking some leave as of now, until Ed is well enough to get out of this hospital"
"As you will, now, I must be getting back to HQ, or Hawkeye will have my head" He walked back out the door, shutting it gently.
"You know Ed" Mikomi turned around and walked back to the bed "He really does care, even though he doesn't show it." She sat on the chair Al had been on. She just gazed at Ed as he lie there, motionless. 'Well... now it's just you and me, Ed. Please get better soon' she thought as she stared 'I never did show you my scrap book of our travels...' An hour had soon passed. Al came in the door with a few bags and a suitcase.
"Oh, hello Al" Mikomi looked up
"Nothing yet, I suppose?" Al put everything down on the floor.
"No, but he seems fine"
"Ah" he nodded "I just remembered! You know the last time you came over to have dinner with us?"
"Yeah, last Thursday"
"Well, you forgot this" He handed Mikomi a bag.
"Oh?" she looked inside "AL! Thanks so much! I've been looking for these!!"
"No problem, I found them in Ed's room, he was probably looking at them"
"I see... too bad though, I wanted to go through them with him"
"Uh... Mikomi..." Al looked her strait in the eye, he seemed a bit nervous "Do you like my brother?"
"What" Al" Mikomi was caught off-guard by this question "Why do you ask?"
"The way you look at him... it just gives me that feeling" Al blushed, obviously embarrassed by his own question
"Well then Al, you have a keen eye." She looked back at Ed.
"SO YOU DO!" Al gasped
"Yes... I do" She looked down at the floor, trying not to make eye contact with Al.
"I knew it! I just knew it! Mikomi! Have you told Ed?"
"WHAT! Absolutely not! I'll just get turned down! I'd rather he not know at all, then our friendship being ruined by my feelings." A tear ran down her cheek. "I've thought about it time after time... but never have I got the courage to tell him, for fear of ruining everything!"
"Woah! Mikomi, calm down! I'm sorry for ever asking in the first place then. I never meant to make you cry! I'm sorry"
"No no, Al... it's not you're fault, ok, NEVER think it is, it's me" She stood up "I'm going to take a quick walk, I need some fresh air" And with that she walked out the door, leaving Al standing there, baffled.
