Enjoy the second chappie!
As the train finally arrived at Central, Al leaned over Ed's seat. He shook the sleeping alchemist slightly.
"Wha… have we arrived?" Ed asked tiredly.
"Yeah. Is your ankle feeling any better?" Al's voice rang with concern. Ed shook his head painfully.
"It just feels worse…" Ed muttered barely loud enough for Al to hear.
"It might help if you walk a bit. Not on the twisted one, but I'll support you." Al suggested. Ed sighed and stood up, but only to drop down, wincing.
"Is it really that bad?" Al questioned. Pained, Ed nodded. Al stepped up and scooped Ed in his arms. Ed winced and groaned quietly.
"It must be pretty serious…" Al thought. He left the train and headed for Central. After a long walk, they finally arrived to the infirmary.
"May I help you?" The kind nurse asked, looking up from her desk.
"Yes, my older brother twisted his ankle, and we just want to make sure it's not too serious." Al replied. The nurse smiled sweetly at the uncomforted alchemist.
"OK. Just set him down here," The nurse said, pointing to a chair. As Ed found a position in the chair, he winced as the pain in his ankle only grew worse. Examining the twisted foot, she grimaced at the sight. She walked over to a closet and pulled out a crutch.
"It'll probably heal on its own, but you will need this," She said, handing the crutch to Ed. "Just stay off of it for a few days." Ed nodded, and tried balancing himself using the crutch, but ended up nearly falling. Luckily, the nurse caught him just before he collided with the ground. After a few minutes, Ed had finally gained a better grip on the crutch, and could move along fine.
"You might want to rest up, Ed." Al pointed out.
"Yeah." Ed replied and started crutching down the hallway, Al following close behind. Ed looked at his younger brother, a smile on his face. "Thanks, Al." He said. "For everything you've done for me." Al looked back, and you could tell through his metal amour, that his smile was just a broad.
THE END
See that little button down there in the left hand corner? Why don't you go poke it with your mouse? That'll make it cough-me-cough happy. :D
