Chapter 7: Memories, Rain and Automail
The sun was shining, the birds were singing, children were playing; what could ruin this perfect day? Maybe the fact that it wasn't?
Yep, it was pouring down rain and Edward was the unlucky person that got caught in it.
He was heading home from a walk to get rid of the boredom of waiting for Envy to come home from work, and he hadn't grab an umbrella when he went out.
"I really hope that I can get home before my automail gives out.." said Ed to himself, hopefully, as he ran down the street hoping.
As Ed ran down the street, faded memories trickled into his head...a young girl with long, blond hair and blue eyes, standing next to a moving suit of armour..a man with an eye patch over his eye wearing what looked like military uniform and a blurry image of a person, they seemed to be asking if he was okay..
Just then, Edward tripped over his own two feet and landed in a muddy puddle on the sidewalk. Wincing, he went to push himself off the ground, but it was in vain. He collapsed a bit, as his vision started to fade from the pain of these people that Edward felt like he knew..he heard someone rushing to him and asking if he was okay. He didn't replay.
When Edward woke, he shot up and winced in pain. His leg and arm were in pain. Looking down at his arm, he noticed that his automail had been replaced with newer and more lightweight metal. He flexed his arm; it felt easier to move and he didn't have to struggle with it. Moving as little as possible, he placed his feet on the floor and looked around somewhat. It wasn't his or Envy's room so ...just where in the world was he?
Suddenly, the door opened and Roy walked in. He saw that Edward was awake and well.
"Well, I see you're up; how are you feeling?"
Ed had blinked, then looked towards the voice. He saw Roy, blinked again, and winced.
"I'm good..I'm sore, what happen?"
"Well, I found you passed out on the side of the walkway, and notice that your automail was in bad shape. So I called in a favor to an old friend of mine;she is quite skilled with automail."
Edward had blinked. Why did this man care so much?
"You didn't have to do that for me...besides you don't even know me."
"Well, you looked like you needed it. Are you hungry?"
Edward looked at Roy. "No, but thank you.." he stood, testing out his new leg, then walked over to the window and looked out it. He noticed that it was nighttime. Looking over, he saw Roy was gone. Realizinging his clothes were on the bed, he began to dress. Midway through putting his shirt on...he remembered where he had seen Roy before, long before he started to live with Envy.
"I need to get out of here...that bastard..he tried to kill me before.."
Of course, it hadn't been Roy, but Edward didn't know that it was Envy was the one that had tried, and succeeded, to killed him.
Going over to the window, he opened it and looked around. Since he had seen no one on the street, he slid out the window and started to head home. Once home he searched for Envy.
"Envy? Envy!" Edward was in a panic; he couldn't find Envy. He hoped that Envy hadn't left him.
"Edward?" said a voice coming from behind him. Edward turned around and found Envy. Envy looked like a mess, as if he hadn't slept in a long time.
"Envy!" Edward ran over to him and sobbed into his lover's chest.
Envy blinked and stroked his small lover's hair softly.
"What's wrong, love? Where have you been for the last ten hours?"
Edward snuggled into Envy's chest. "I got caught out in the rain while I was out. All these fuzzy patches came into my mind...and I passed out...when I woke up I was in the guy with the eye patch's house..the one I said I knew before? Well I remembered him..his name is Roy and I remember that he tried to kill me before..so when he left, I snuck out..I don't want him to take me away from this...I don't want to remember anymore, I'm happy!"
Envy stroke Edward's head sightly. "Shh...it's okay, Edward, I'm not going to let Roy anywhere near you, and I'm sure that you won't remember anymore. Now
relax; don't overwork yourself."
Edward nodded and snuggled into Envy's arms. He didn't want to lose Envy, not ever. Even though...Edward's life was going to change soon.
