Eternity blinked in dismay.
"She doesn't like me." It wasn't a question, it was a fact. "Why though? What did I do?" She was really upset, seeing as how Winry was one of the most important female characters in the show. Guys were nice as friends and all, but there were some things you could only say in front of a group of girls.
"I don't know," Ed replied truthfully. "But we barely got a chance to talk! She can't leave yet!" For a moment, it looked as if he might get up and run after her. But every movement hurt, so he settled back down after a period of twitching, attempting to get up. "We've really known each other for that long? It doesn't seem like that long..." Ed commented.
"It was," Eternity confirmed. "You just weren't there for most of it." She made a face; she had hated "most of it". He smiled ruefully in response. "When do you think you're going to get out?" This question had been dwelling on her mind for a long time, it had just taken that long to actually be voiced.
"Visiting hours are over!" A nurse called from the door, beckoning them out. Eternity rose sadly.
"Bye, Ed," She said. "I'll come back tomorrow, and this time I'll bring something to do." Ed nodded and smiled. Aria rose also, on the opposite side of the room. She pulled her hand back slowly, reluctantly.
"Goodbye," Aria told Roy quietly over her shoulder as she left. "See you tomorrow." Roy nodded also; he knew that she would come back.
"When do visiting hours begin tomorrow?" They heard Eternity asked as the door swung closed. Ed grinned wider.
"What are you grinning about, Fullmetal?" Roy asked from his bed. "You just got wounded in war, and your two girlfriends are fighting." He proceeded to smirk as Ed turned bright red.
"They're not my girlfriends!" He replied hotly. "They're both my friends. And it's none of your damn business why I'm smiling!" He glared down Roy, who just stared back coolly. "Has your own flame crisped your brain or something?" Ed added under his breath, turning to fix his stare on the wall.
"Whatever you say, Fullmetal," Roy responded, his voice level and sarcastic. Ed grumbled in reply.
Why did Mustang always have to be so right?
