Chapter eleven: Denial
Ed lay in a hospital bed, his untreated wounds now carefully bandaged. When Roy shoved him against the wall, it reopened several of the blade wounds on his back. The cut that was across his chest had managed to get infected but the swelling had gone down quite a bit due to the medicine applied.
So far, the people who have stopped by the hospital were; of course Al but also Maes, Riza, Armstrong, Fury, and Roy.
But the doctors shooed them out, saying that Ed needs rest and it be best of he weren't disturbed. They also had him hooked up to a feeding tube because he was so pathetically frail. His two weeks and no food left him almost on the brink of death from malnutrition.
"I still don't see how this could have happened," Hughes started as they sat in the office at Headquarters. "Do they have any idea who did it?"
"No sir," Riza replied as she scanned over a clipboard she was holding. "There are no lead suspects. We have recruits out now looking for the culprits but so far…nothing."
Mustang sat in a chair in the corner of the room, keeping to himself. Thoughts ran through his head. He would tone in and out of the others conversation, not really paying much attention. His thoughts kept dragging back to what Ed said to him yesterday.
What did the boy mean?
"So you can fuck me again!"
He just didn't understand it. He never did anything…did he? With his thoughts drifting back, he realized what his missed…but not what he did.
He blanked on his and Ed's date. When the call came to report to Central he was so worried about that that he never even recalled their date. Meaning he abandoned the Fullmetal Chibi. But he never 'fucked' him, to put it in short.
What happened that night? He wondered as he put his hand on his chin. Roy, you're such a baka! How could you do that to him? Just leave him there. Abandon him. No…that's not it. I could understand why he'd be upset…but I never…
"Roy, what about you? You have yet to say anything on the matter," Maes said as he looked over at the Colonel.
Roy sighed.
"I don't think there's anything that can be said. What's happened has happened and there's nothing we can do about that. Right now we should be concentrating on finding those who did it. Talking about it won't help anything."
"Right…we have people out now looking for them. But the problem is is that we have nothing to go on. All we know is that the person's a male and that's not much. In fact, I guess you could say that means nothing. There was no trace of hair so we can't even say what his hair color is," Hughes replied solemnly. "At this point…there's nothing we can do."
"Hm…well, I'm gonna go check with the doctors and see it there's been any improvement with Ed," Roy stated as he gathered to his feet.
Maes nodded.
"If he's up…send him our regards."
Ed cringed as he turned in the hospital bed. Flashes from the previous days kept coming back to him. Roy's smirk, the pain he caused him, the first night his innocence was raped from him.
But why couldn't he wake up?
Everyday he would try to wake but he couldn't. The nightmare wouldn't leave his mind.
Why was it there?
Why was it taunting him so?
He shot up in the bed, panting. He looked around the room he was in. The equipment, the smell.
Hospital.
His nose crinkled at the thought. He put his hand on his head and sighed. Did that mean that it had all been a dream? He opened his eyes to stare at his bandaged body.
And…he started screaming.
Why did he start screaming?
The screams that echoed throughout the hallway of the hospital.
Over and over until doctors and nurses came to try and calm him down. They had to give him a shot to try to numb the senses, but not strong enough to knock him unconscious.
After he did manage to calm down, the doctors left, leaving him alone in the cold room. His mind started to become clear again in the realizations of everything that happened.
Roy.
Roy…that bastard!
And as soon as he thought the name, the raven-haired man walked into the room.
"Hello, Fullmetal," came the voice.
Ed ignored him.
"Ed…I need to talk to you. There's something I have to ask you about."
"And what would that be?" He snorted as he turned to face the wall instead of the colonel.
"We need to know. The men who did this before…were they the same people who did this?"
Ed growled and shot up, glaring at Mustang, eyes full of hatred.
"Don't act like you don't know, Mustang! You can give up the innocent little shit act! I'm not stupid! Why don't you go fuck yourself instead of me!"
"That's just it, Fullmetal! I don't know! Alright! I don't what's gotten into that tiny skull of yours but I wasn't the one who did this to you! So why don't you stop acting like such a little bitch?"
Ed's eyes started to tear up as thoughts rushed back to him.
"Shut the fuck up, you little bitch!"
"How dare you touch me, you little bitch!"
"You better have learned your lesson this time, you little bitch."
He jerked his head to stare at the bed sheets as tears started to splash onto the covers.
"Ed…I'm sorry," Roy started. "I didn't mean—"
"Get out," Ed interrupted.
"Ed…"
"I said get out!" He shouted as he clenched his fists.
"Ed, just listen to what I have to say!"
"Get out! NURSE! NURSE!" He began to shout. "I NEED HELP! HE'S TRYING TO HURT ME! NURSE!"
Roy began to back up to the door. He gripped the handle and bolted out the door. As soon as he left the room, Ed stopped screaming. Instead, the colonel began to hear stifled sobs trying to break their way through.
"Roy…you bastard," he heard Ed say from inside the room. He choked down a sob. "Why? Why did you have to…"
The sentence was cut off as the Fullmetal Alchemist let out a wail.
Both pain and sorrow filled his voice.
And Roy walked.
He walked away.
Because that was a sound that he never wanted to hear again.
A voice filled with so much pain and misery.
So much anger.
No one had that right…that right to feel that way.
…
To live that way.
To all my adoring fans:
