A new Beginning

As days went on, Ed and Rei almost were inseparable. Ed was besides the whole time she suffered from the pain and fever of the surgery. As she finally started feeling better, a phone call came one day for Ed. As Ed spoke with the person on the phone, his voice sounded downcast and when he hung up, he walked up to Rei's room, "Rei, Something's happened. Do you think you can travel?" "What happened? Is Roy ok?" "Someone blew up our house while he was finishing up the packing for our move to Central. The stuff we can replace, but Roy's not doing too good. He's being sent to a hospital in Central by train. The train's coming by here, so I'm hopping on it. Are you coming?" "Of course. I can't make the general unhappy now, can I?"They smiled as they rushed to pack up. Finishing, they want to leave as Winry and Asuka opened the door to come in. "Where are you two going?" Winry asked, "Rei still needs to fully recover." "There's been an accident. We're going to go be with Mustang to make sure he's ok," Ed said. Asuka looked at them, "No way! You can go Ed, but Rei has to stay here!" "No. I'm going. Roy is my caretaker and I need to see that he's ok. As long as Ed's with me, I'll be fine." Ed tried to get through Winry and Asuka, but they wouldn't let them go. "Ed stop being an idiot! Rei needs to stay here!" "NO! I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR REI!" Rei yelled as Asuka tried to drag her back to her room. At this point, Al walked in, "Let them go girls. Rei and Ed need to be with Roy. He probably needs them the most. Call me sometime Brother." Ed smiled, "Of course I will. See ya Al!" Ed said as him and Rei ran off to the train station.
At the station, A train marked Emergency transport only stopped in the station to let Rei and Ed on. They walked in and over to the seats besides Roy. He was unconscious and burned. Ed put his hand on top of Roy's, "Who could have done this to you?" "A retaliation from the people we beat a few weeks ago," Rei replied as she put her human hand on his cheek, "I didn't know he looked so cute sleeping," She smiled as she looked back at Ed, "And I'm sure you do too." Ed smiled as he looked at Mustang's face, Don't you dare die on me Roy, or I'll make sure Hughes tortures you in the other world. Ed leaned down and softly kissed Roy's cheek, since he couldn't kiss his mouth for a tube. When they finally arrived in Central, a team of Doctors rushed Mustang to the military hospital. Ed walked out of the train station with Rei and headed towards the military hospital with her. On their way, Ed pulled her into an alley as he dropped down to hug her like he used to hug his mom, "Rei, I don't want to lose him," He cried into her chest. Rei took her new automail arm and ran its fingers through his hair, "We won't Ed. I promise we won't." She wrapped her other arm around him, "We should go be with him though." Ed nodded and stood back up. The once pint sized alchemist had apparently started to grow rapidly in the past few weeks to where he was taller than Rei. He walked in with her and up to the desk, "We'd like to know what room Brigadier General Mustang is in." "I can't tell you that because he's under immediate family only. We've contacted his family already about his condition." "But we are his family! We've been living in the same house for over 2 years now!" "Sorry." Rei looked at the Clerk, "this man here is the general's Partner for life. In professional terms I mean. They've taken to each other to where They're closer than two brothers. He's the only family he even keeps in touch with constantly." "Well, you can go see him sir, but I'm afraid your lady friend will have to wait out here." Rei nodded and sat down as the nurse took him back to Mustang's room. As his family came in and saw their loved one, Ed sat by his side the whole time, and Rei stayed out waiting to be able to go in and see him. That Evening, Roy's cousin came in, and saw Rei in the waiting room, "Rei? Is that you?" She looked up at the voice, "Taslow?" "Yep! In the flesh! What are you doing here?" "I was planning to see your cousin, but they wouldn't let me in." "Well, I'll help you out after what you did for me." He held out his hand for her and she got up and they walked up to the desk, "We'd like to see Roy Mustang. I'm his cousin and this is my lovely wife and his in-law. The nurse nodded and took them back to the room. Ed was still sitting by Roy's side. Rei walked over and sat down in a chair. Taslow looked at Rei, "Looks like your in love with macho man here, Rei." She blushed. Taslow looked at Roy, "Hey jackass, you hear that? Sounds like you've got another lover. Wake up soon and give your mom and pop some grandkids soon. They're starting to think your Gay instead of Bi. Well I've gotta go, but I'll be back another time to insult your dreams of miniskirts." As Taslow exited the room, Ed looked at her, "Who was that?" "His cousin Taslow. Him and me always had alchemy classes together." "Oh." Ed rubbed the back of Mustang's hand as Rei put a hand on Roy's chest, over his heart, "You've got someone out here who loves you and needs you to wake up. Not to mention someone who wants to make a new life with you and this lover of yours." Ed looked at her and she smiled, "It's all true too."
