Lexi: Dear Ra! It's been a longgggggggg time... I really hope nobody is gonna eat me. So, if you are friends with me on facebook, or read my profile, you would realize what was going on. I have had no computer for almost 4 months now. Hence, why I wasn't posting any chapters. I still don't have a computer, but I did steal my mom's laptop for about an hour.

This is enough time to maybe post a chapter. I'll try. If not, you will get this later... So anyways, I apologize for the extremely large wait on the story! I'm sosososososososososo sorry!111one!

Edward: *Glares with extreme hate in his eyes* WTF BITCH?

Lexi: *Puppy-dog eyes* I said I was sawry!

Roy: Sorry isn't good enough! You left everybody on a cliffhanger for 1/3 of a fucking year!

Lexi: Ehhhh *nervous laugh* has it really been that long?

Edward and Roy: YESS!

Lexi: O_O I'm just gonna write the story...

Disclaimer: Nope *sigh*... still don't own it.

They arrived at the hospital not too much later. Roy was panicking because of how Edward was still looking extremely pale. As soon as he parked, Roy scooped up Edward into his arms and walked through the doors. Right in the inside doorway were a couple of wheelchairs. He grabbed one and gently set Ed into the seat.

Roy then wheeled him over to the waiting area.

The receptionist took one look at them from her desk and came over with a clipboard in her hand. Roy lifted one eyebrow at her, as if to ask why she had.

"It didn't look like you should leave him over here on his own," she smiled sweetly and handed him the papers and pen.

Roy took said objects and began to fill it out. There were a few questions he didn't know. For those, he asked Ed under his breath and the ill teen would mumble out the answer, incoherently most of the time.

"R-roy?" He looked down.

"Yes, Edward?"

"Ummmm how are you supposed to pay for this? I don't have insurance or anything," he said worriedly.

"Calm down, Ed. It's fine, so just let me worry about it, kay?" Roy reassured Ed, knowing money wouldn't be an issue for him.

Edward didn't look like he wanted to drop the subject, but he nodded and closed his eyes anyways. Roy finished the last of the papers and walked to the reception desk. The woman took the clipboard and glanced over at Edward.

"A doctor will be out to see you in about 5 minutes," he nodded and made his way back to Ed.

"Hey, the doctor's gonna take care of you soon, okay?" Roy grabbed his hand and rubbed soothing circles onto it.

"Thanks, Roy," Edward replied quietly.

"Edward Elric?" a voice called from one of the doors several minutes later.

They both looked over to see a young man, probably in his late twenties or early thirties, with shaggy black hair and glasses.

Roy stood up and pushed the back of Ed's wheelchair over to him.

"So, I take it you're Mr. Elric?" asked the doctor.

Edward nodded slightly.

"And you are?" he questioned Roy with a sly smile.

"Roy Mustang, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't act like I was a stranger every time you see me, Hughes," Roy said.

"Come on, Roy! I'm just playing around," Maes laughed slapping an arm around his shoulders.

"Whatever, there'll be time for screwing around, AFTER you take care of Edward," Roy looked pointedly at the boy in the wheelchair.

Edward seemed not to be paying attention to anything either one of them was saying, or maybe it just didn't interest him.

"Oh, right. Well, let's talk in my office," he led them into a plain white room with a small desk, computer, a scale, two chairs, and a couple of medical books.

"So what exactly is wrong with him?" Maes questioned, not seeing anything physically out of place, such as a broken bone.

"When he woke up his muscles were aching, he was throwing up constantly, and he has a very high fever. I thought it was bad enough not to wait till morning," Roy listed off the symptoms in his head.

"I see, that does sound pretty bad. I just need to ask one question. Has he had any eggs, meat or contaminated water recently?"

"Well, he had chicken on his pizza. Does that count?" Roy was unsure what this had to do with what was wrong.

"Okay, then I'm fairly sure I know what's wrong. It seems like he has a severe case of food poisoning," Hughes diagnosed, "This isn't a terribly bad thing, but he needs treatment. Edward can either get his stomach pumped, which is probably only if it gets much, much worse. Or he can spend the night at the hospital. I would recommend the latter, but it's his choice," he finished.

"I'd rather just spend the night here," Edward muttered.

"That's fine. Just a warning, he's going to be up for a while, throwing up most likely. All of the bad food has to make it's way out of his system, so it's best to just let his body get rid of it on it's own," Maes told Roy.

Roy nodded, "I'll take you to a room and have a nurse handle checking you in," Hughes said kindly.

He led them to a room that was at the end of a mostly empty hallway. There was one bed, a bathroom attached and one of those uncomfortable plastic chairs.

The two helped Edward into the bed before stepping out into the corridor.

"So what exactly is this kid to you Roy?" his long-time friend asked.

"I don't think you'd believe me if I told you," Roy said sadly.

"Try me."

"Well, first of all, he's my student. But he's also living with me. And... I guess you could call him my boyfriend," Roy responded quietly at the end.

"Somehow I could tell," Maes sighed, "Is there any particular reason why he's living with you?"

"His parents abused him and I wasn't going to let him get hurt again. So I let him live with me, even though he's underaged," Roy informed him.

"I see, and I guess I can't judge you. Considering I did the exact same thing with you all those years ago. Even if that's in our past, I haven't forgotten," Roy nodded slowly and walked back in to where Edward was.

Neither of them could have guessed that he had been listening to their secret conversation. Needless to say, he was shocked, confused, and dazed by this information.
