Chapter 4: Apology
I awoke from unconsciousness under bright lights. I looked around to see baby blue walls and some other beds, and then turned the other way to see Roy with his face in his hands.
"R-Roy? W-Where am I?" I asked feeling very confused. ... See More... See More
"You're in the school clinic." he answered very guilty.
"What happened?" I asked.
"During gym, you got hit in the face with a dodge-ball and got knocked out." he answered.
"Oh, yea." I said turning away.
"I was really worried—I mean we were all worried about you. Are you okay?" he asked blushing a light pink. I looked back at him, and a smile and a blush crept on my face.
"Yeah." I said smiling. He smiled back. After a couple of seconds later things got awkward.
"So, Ed can you stand up?" he asked.
"I-I think so." I said, unsure. Roy helped me up with no hesitation and put my arm over his shoulder, I blushed at that. As soon as I was standing I fell right to the floor.
"Ed!" Roy exclaimed.
"Ugh… don't worry I'm okay. I just feel real dizzy, that's all." I said.
"You obviously can't stand….up." Roy said sounding hypnotized.
"Uh, what's wrong, Roy?" I said nervously, as he helped me up, still staring at me.
"Your eyes…"he commented.
"What about them?" I said feeling a little self-conscious.
"They're beautiful, shining in the sun like that." he said. I let out a blush that went all over my face and down my neck.
"T-Thanks." I said, stuttering. He smiled. The rest of the day went pretty good, except for when Riza kept giving me nasty looks every time I passed her in the hall. As I got to my locker, the girl who knocked me out when we were playing dodge-ball (Sheska) rushed over to my locker.
"Ed, again, I'm really sorry!" she said, while bowing her head.
"It's okay." I said, smiling.
"Okay…thanks Ed." She said. As soon as Sheska left Roy was at my locker. I jumped because he appeared out of nowhere. He just chuckled.
"Hey, Ed." He said.
"Hey, Roy." I said, smiling.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing really, just getting ready to go. What about you? Are you staying after school for a club or something?" I asked.
"No. I'm just getting ready to walk home." He said.
"Cool, I have to walk home too." I said.
"Do you want to walk together?" he asked. I felt my cheeks heat up. He smiled.
"Sure, but first I have to find my brother." I said all giddy.
"All righty then, shall we get going?" he asked.
"Yes we shall." I said. After a couple of minutes of searching, we found Al in the chemistry lab.
"Al, where have you been?" I said on our walk home with Roy.
"Well brother, I had to ask the teacher some questions about our class project before I left." He said.
"Ok." I said. After 5 minutes of silence we came by a mini mart. Roy stopped and told us he had to go pick up milk for his mom because he promised he would do it after school. I shuddered at the word…milk. Al and I waved goodbye before continuing our walk home. As Al and I walked home, it was very quiet. Al looked at me curiously.
"Brother, what's wrong?" he asked very concerned.
"Nothing, Al. I'm perfectly fine." I said.
"Ok, anyway you and Roy seem to be really close." He said, while eating some potato chips he got from the school's vending machine.
"W-What?" I shouted, and blushing a bright red. Al stared at me with a surprised expression. Al then grinned.
"Brother, do you like Roy?" he asked. My eyes literally went out of my head.
"W-W-W-W-WHAT?" I said, almost unable to get out the word. I blushed so darkly it felt like my head was going to explode. Al grinned super wide.
"Now I see what's going on here." Al said, smiling.
"S-Shut up Al!" I said, while blushing and stomping away. As we got to the house, Al and I put our bags down, and Al went upstairs. I went outside and stood by the door looking at the clear and sunny sky. After a while I got tired, so I decided to lie down on my houses nearby hill. After a few moments, I heard footsteps, and then a heavy presence I felt laying next to me.
"Hello." The voice said. I opened my eyes to see that Roy was lying right beside me.
"Roy?" I said, blushing. He laid there smiling.
"What are you doing here, at my house?" I said still embarrassed.
"Well, I live right down there," he said, pointing his finger to the right.
"…see, right down there, at that blue house." He told me. I stared at him.
"Really?" I said with joy in my voice. I blushed as he realized that and smiled at me.
"So I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other, huh?" he said lovingly. I blushed a little harder.
"Yeah, I guess." I said, smiling. He smiled back.
"Hey, Ed?" he said.
"Yeah?" I said.
"Do you want to go to a carnival with me and a couple of my friends tomorrow?" he asked nervously. I stared at him. My eyes glowed with anticipation.
"Sure!" I squealed. Roy chuckled.
"Great. Hold on a sec." he said as he pulled out a notebook and a pen from his backpack. He wrote something down but the sun was too bright I couldn't see it. A few moments later he gave me the note. Here's what the note says:
Resimbool Carnival Invite for Edward Elric
Where to meet: Roy's house
What time to be there: Around 6:00pm
Don't worry about money; I'll be paying for everybody. You can get whatever you want. Just be sure to not to eat before we go because you might get sick on the rides. I was really impressed with his penmanship too. I stared at it in amazement.
"Thanks. Um… is it okay if I bring Al?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course. Bring anyone you want." He told me.
"Ok, and thanks again." I said gratefully.
"No problem, Ed." He said, followed by a wink. A huge blush fell across my face and I really didn't know if it was going fade away…
