Chapter 9: Oh dear…
"Yes Alphose, he's all right. He should wake up in a few hours. Yes, yes. Okay, don't worry. Bye."
Roy let out a loud sigh and looked back at Ed who was on a bed in one of Roy's guestroom. The doctor said it was alright to take him home but was a little perplexed when he saw the thermometer. Ed was one degree below a normal human's body temperature. 'So that's why he's always feeling cold.'
Roy was ordered by the doctor. Yes, he, General Roy Mustang, on of the elite military personnel, was ORDERED by the doctor to always ALWAYS keep Ed warm. It was his fault anyway. He pestered the doctor so much that the doctor absolutely HAD to sign off permission to release Ed from the hospital.
The chibi fell asleep after transmuting that damn statue. It nearly gave him a heart attack when he saw Ed suddenly collapsed. 'Oh great… More paperwork.' Surprise surprise. He had to think of a way to remove the damn thing and see through the restoration of the station because the Fuhrer ordered him to.
"Mmm… Roy?"
"Ed? Here." Roy quickly supported Ed into a sitting position and took the glass of water he had intended to drink and press it at Ed's lips.
Ed drank it so fast that he almost choked. Roy quickly removed the glass once it was empty.
"Better?"
"Mmmm…"
"Do you want some more?"
Ed shook his head. Roy put him down on the bed and just stared at Ed. Very very lost for words.
"Roy?"
"Y-Yes?"
"I'm very cold…"
Roy rose up one of his eyebrows. "Hagane?"
Ed looked at Roy. "Why are you calling me Hagane? Those people also called me Hagane. Why?"
"Aaa… err…"
"Where is Al and Winry and Pinoko obaa-san?"
"EH?"
"Roy? Is something wrong?"
"Ah no. Err… Do you know where you are now?"
"Rizenbul?" Said Ed sleepily. Eyelids were closing. Head felt lighter. Roy was getting more difficult to see.
"Do you remember what happened this afternoon?"
"Hmm?" Eyelids completely closed now. Roy was… Well I could say lost… Or was speechless the better word?
'Okay Roy Mustang. Ed doesn't have a clue where he really is, he didn't push me away when I gave him some water and doesn't seem to remember what happened this afternoon AND he said he was cold AND he's still calling me Roy…'
Roy felt a headache coming. It HAD been a long day… 'Bleh! That's it! Enough thinking!' With that, Roy crawled on to Ed's bed, went under the covers and hugged Ed protectively and went to sleep.
'So what if he tried to kill me in the morning? He said he was cold!'

A/N: I can't seem to write any longer then this… But I suppose frequent updates can compensate for the short chapters? Thanks for all the reviews:)
