Chapter 10: Complications

I woke up feeling very sore. I pulled myself up, but stopped as the pain became too much. I winced and whimpered. I looked around the room until my eyes locked onto another's. I stared at the other person through the darkness, until my eyes got used to it. I gasped as I realized who it was. It was Roy. He had blood dripping down his face and arms. His arms were chained up to the wall and his gloves were not on.

"Roy! Are you okay?" I shouted as I tried to run to him, but was stopped by the chains on the walls that were holding my hands captive. He just stared at me with a sad expression. His eyes lost their onyx color.

"Edward… I'm sorry. I knew Riza liked me but I never thought she would take it this far." Roy admitted. I stared at him, before smiling.

"It's alright; you didn't know she was going to show up with Envy. It's not your fault." I told him. He looked at me before smiling.

"I love you, Ed." Roy told me with a smile on his face. I looked down shyly and blushed.

"I love you too." I said as my blush got bigger and wider. He smirked. Just then, the door slammed open and the people who got us into this mess walked in. Roy and I glared at them. They smirked. Envy walked over to me, and ran his hand over my cheek; I sat there, frozen in shock. Roy sat there, his blood boiling. Envy then licked my cheek slowly, savoring the taste. Roy's eyes flashed with fury, and he tried to get out of the chains.

"Get away from me!" I screamed. Envy smirked and started kissing my neck. I thrashed my head around trying to get him off. He wouldn't stop. I clapped my hands lightly before touching the wall, with a tap. A blue lightning spark came out of the wall, and a huge fist punched Envy in the stomach. He went flying across the room and into a wall. Roy blinked before nodded to me so I can let him go. I tapped my fingers again and I freed Roy. He ran up to Envy and tackled him before he could get to me. Riza ran up to me grabbed my auto-mail arm.

"AHHHHH!" I screamed in agony as she ripped off my auto-mail. Roy and Envy looked back to see what happened. Both of their eyes widened in shock, I was on the floor panting and losing consciousness from the pain, while Riza was standing above me holding my auto-mail in her right hand, and with her left hand on her hip.

"Get away from him!" Roy shouted as he ran up to Riza, and pushed her to the ground. My auto-mail flew in the air and Roy caught it. She snarled in annoyance. Roy unlocked my cuffs and picked me up bridal style. Envy and Riza both got up and got ready to charge. Roy put on his spare gloves (that were in his pocket btw) and quickly blew up the wall with his alchemy. Riza and Envy tried to run after him but he was already out of sight. (AN: Did I mention that Roy is a really fast runner?)

"Damn it! We almost had them." Envy snarled. Riza gave an angry frown.

"Don't worry, we'll get them. Let's go Envy." Riza calmly demanded. He nodded and they disappeared in the opposite direction Roy and I went. Meanwhile, Roy was running through the sewers. He looked down at me worriedly. My breathing had become rapid, my face was flushed, and I kept wincing in pain from time to time.

"It's okay Ed. I've got you." Roy told me to calm him down. I just whimpered. Roy finally came to an exit, and started running towards the hospital. Roy entered the hospital emergency room, and told the nurse what was wrong. She snapped her hands and a few moments later an emergency team laid me down on a gurney. I winced in pain. I was wheeled to the emergency room with Roy holding his hand the whole time.

"R-Roy." I managed to say. Roy looked down to see my worried expression. Roy smiled at me.

"Don't worry Ed; I'm not going to leave you." Roy said as he stroked my hair. I smiled at him. After the doctors treated me and took some tests, and I was lying down in a hospital bed. Roy was gone taking some tests to see if anything was wrong with him. I sighed. After 30 minutes Roy came back all cleaned up. I sat up and grunted in pain as Roy sat down in one of the chairs next to his bed.

"So are you okay?" I asked. Roy nodded.

"How about you?" Roy asked.

"Well, just a few fractures and bruises." I admitted. Roy looked at me with a sad expression. He put his head down.

"I'm sorry Ed. I didn't want you to get hurt. I should've protected you." Roy said as he lifted his head up. A single tear ran down Roy's cheek. I leaned into Roy and kissed the tear away. Roy blushed and I chuckled. Roy leaned in and kissed me sweetly. We broke apart and smiled at each other. Al and the guys burst through the door the next second.

"Nii-san! Are you okay?" Al asked as he hugged me. I nodded and he smiled. Roy and I told the guys of what happened. They all frowned angrily, and we all agreed that we needed to stay away from Riza and Envy at all times. The doctor came in, looking at his clipboard.

"Um…doc? When can I go home?" I asked. The doctor looked up and smiled.

"Well, nothing looks too bad. You can go home today if you want." The doctor stated. Ed smiled.

"Good. I hate hospitals." Ed told them. Everyone chuckled at me. I got up from the bed and started wobbling. Roy grabbed my hand to keep me balanced.

"Thanks. I feel really light-headed right now." I said, my head still spinning.

"That's because you lost a lot of blood, but don't worry we gave you a few blood transfusions." The doctor told us. Ed suddenly felt himself being lifted and squeaked. Roy was carrying me again.

"Thanks doctor." Roy said as we all walked out the door. We all were in the parking lot and Roy saw his car parked in the emergency parking lot. Havoc also brought his car so he could take Al and the other guys home. Roy thanked Havoc as Roy walked to the car. As we got to the car, Roy placed me in the backseat so I could lie down. I finally slipped into unconsciousness. Roy climbed into the front seat and looked back at me. I was sleeping peacefully, and Roy smiled.

Roy's POV

The car ride home was quiet, mostly because I was the only conscious person in the car. I looked back at Ed a couple of times. I smiled and thought to myself: 'everything's perfect because he's mine.' As I pulled up to my house I got out of the car, opened Ed's door, pulled him out and carried him into the house.

"Mom? Dad?" I called out as I opened the door. No answer.

'Oh yeah! They said they were going on a cruise and they wouldn't be back for 3 months.' I put Ed on the couch. 'I wonder if I can take care of Ed until they get back… I better ask for permission first.' I went to the kitchen and got the phone. I dialed his mom's number and waited for her to pick up. After 3 rings she picked up.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Oh, hello sweetie. What do you need?" She asked.

"Well… my boyfriend got hurt and he has nowhere else to stay so can I keep him here until he recovers?" I asked nervously. The other line was silent. I then heard my dad shouting. I covered my ear. My mom cleared her throat before speaking again.

"Ok sweetie as long as you behave yourself; and you have to tell us about your boyfriend when we get home, okay?" She asked.

"Okay." I said. We both wished each other a good-night and hung up. I walked back into the living room where I found Ed still sleeping on the couch. I smiled and lifted him up. I walked upstairs to my room and pulled out a two pairs of pajamas. I changed quickly and threw my laundry in the hamper. I quickly stripped Ed, blushing the whole entire time (AN: You know why. ;) Just kidding.) I hopped into bed with Ed and wrapped my arms around his middle as I snuggled into his neck and thought: 'This is how it should always be…' I soon fell into a deep sleep with a promise that I would never let Ed get hurt again.
