Ok, I've got bad news... I won't be updating for a little bit (let's just say that I'll be missing my Tohru for a few weeks)... I'm sorry... It won't be too long... but... yeah... it may take me a little bit longer to update... but don't worry! I will update!

Oh, and sorry about it being a shorter than normal...

Please review people! It makes me happy!

"The doctor will be in there to check on you in the next five minutes," she called.

--

"Alright." Ed replied to her.

Five minutes later, as told, the doctor entered the room. He smiled at Tohru sleeping next to him. "That's sweet-she's been worrying about you, hasn't she?"

Ed nodded, "Yeah." he said softly.

"Is she your girlfriend, sister, friend-?" he asked questioningly as he set down his bag and began to dig out a stethoscope.

"Uh... she's... my friend..." he said to the doctor.

The doctor nodded. "She sure seems to think much more of you than that-I saw her running into the woods when the rain was about to pour. I followed her and saw her trip and fall." He placed the cool stethoscope on Ed's chest. "I was going to help her, but it was obviously a private moment. She was crying." He went to his bag and got some medicine out.

Ed looked down. He hadn't known that that had happened. He felt bad about it.

"Here, take this with your meal-I see you haven't eaten it yet." He placed two small pills in his hand. "Drink it with this milk."

"There's no way in hell that I'll take this!" Ed said to him, "Especially not with milk!"

The doctor flamed, and was suddenly huge, and anyone could swear they saw fire behind him. "YOU'LL TAKE THAT MILK, AND YOU'LL LIKE IT!"

"I'M NOT GOING TO!" Ed said back to him.

Tohru stirred a little.

Ed looked away from the doctor and at Tohru.

Her eyes opened slightly, but then shut again. She got up, obviously sleep walking. She walked right into a wall, and hit it hard. She fell backwards, waking up instantly. "Huh?" She blinked, seeing she was on the ground, and her head hurt immensely from hitting it.

Ed watched her, "Are you ok?" he asked when she fell to the ground.

"Huh?" she repeated herself, looking from where she was on the ground back to Ed.

Ed smiled a small smile at Tohru. He then remembered that he was fighting with the doctor about taking the pills and milk.

The doctor stood, grinning evily with a needle IV, and the milk was inside of it. He had placed the pills in the milk and let it dissolve.

"You can't escape treatment, my dear patient!" he yelled.

Ed backed away from him a little. He was getting a little scared of the doctor, "I-I don't need it!"

The doctor stepped forward, laughing maliciously. Suddenly, he tripped, and stuck the IV right into Ed's left arm.

Ed flinched when the IV punctured his skin. He quickly pushed the doctor away.

"Ha!" the doctor laughed. "I win! You have had your medication, AND your MILK!!" He ran off, laughing. Tohru just stared at Ed, wide-eyed.

Ed glared at the doctor as he ran off. There were a ton of things he just wanted to yell at that doctor, but thought best not to say around Tohru.

"E-Ed.." Tohru stared at him. Suddenly she broke out in a fit of giggles.

"Hey! What's so funny?!" Ed asked, still a little angry at what had happened.

"Y-your face! It looked more horrified than it did when we were attacked!" she stifled another giggle. "I guess milk really is worse than death!"

Ed gave her a glare, "It wasn't that funny..." he said as he crossed his arms and looked away from her.

"Oh, Ed, I'm sorry, it just made me laugh-sorry if it made you mad," Tohru got up and went to sit next to him on bed.

Ed sighed, "It's... it's ok." he said.

She leaned against his shoulder, and gently closed her eyes. "Ed," she began to ask, "Even if you are trying to make up your mind, do you love me?"

"Yeah," he said, "I do love you."

She then smiled and snuggled deeper. "That's all I wanted to know."

Ed smiled. It felt nice having Tohru next to him.

-A little bit later-

"Tohru..." Ed said softly, "can I ask you something?"

Tohru looked up at his golden eyes. "What is it?" she asked.

Ed looked down, "Uh... it's nothing..." he said.

Tohru's fist balled up next to her. "You can tell me anything," she whispered. If he was to afraid to ask, then were they even close at all?

"I just... I wanted to know... why do you like me?" he asked her softly.

"Because," her eyes became distant, "because when you first climbed off your motorcycle, I could see something in you that was different from what I had ever seen before-even Kyo." As she said that, her eyes clouded over with tears. She buried her face into Ed's shirt. "But you were different, Ed, the way you actually seemed to care, even though I was just a random girl that was really just as plain as they come." She looked up at Ed, tears streaming down her face. "You accepted me, Ed, for the plain onigori that I am. So," she was smiling, but crying, "So I wanted to thank you-thank you by spending all my life with you, caring for you, making food for you, fighting with you-I love you so much, I'd die for you!" she couldn't continue, as her sobs were becoming uncontrollable.

"Tohru, please don't cry!" Ed said as put his arms around her.

Tohru's arms desperately flung around Ed, and couldn't control herself. She wanted to stay with him forever.

Ed was silent as he held her in his arms. After a minute or two, he spoke up, "I really love you, Tohru."

Her hands seemed to loosen as the stress washed away. Ed loved her, so no matter what, even if he chose Winry, she could live. She would be content.

"You gonna be alright?" he asked her softly.

She nodded into his chest.

A small smile came to his lips, "That's good." he whispered.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
