Chi: nahaha! last chapter! isnt shonen-ai wonderful? it can unite even the most diverse of people...so...um...XD enjoy it I guess. Here's the story!

------------

The words Ed had flung so cruelly at Roy kept repeating in his head.

Over and over again.

It was plain and obvious to anyone who might have seen it happen...it had all occured because of Ed.

His hateful words had hurt Roy...they had hurt himself. He had fled the room, tears in his eyes (why oh why) and then he had been

stupid enough to run out into the street and just stare at the car coming at him.

Maybe he had wanted, deep down, to get struck by the vehicle.

Maybe he had wanted to be rid of the confusion, the pain he was feeling.

His heart felt like it would burst from his chest any moment!

"Brother?"

Al's kind voice brought Ed out of his thoughts, and he looked up at the armor standing next to him. "What is it, Al?" he questioned

wearily, tired after not having slept for two days.

"You haven't said a word for hours! All you've done is sit by the colonel this whole time. I thought you said you hated him."

Ed bowed his head in his hands, biting his lip. "Well, I was wrong. I was being an idiot, Al. And someone paid horribly for my

mistake."

Al looked down at his brother, worried. "Ed...are you ok? Mustang getting hit by the car wasn't your fault-"

"Roy never would have been hit by the car if it wasn't for me! I made a dumb mistake; I told you that!"

"I-" Al paused. "You called him Roy."

"So?" Ed's golden eyes took in his brother's tall form. "What's wrong with that?"

"I...I've never heard you call him that."

Ed just looked back down at his shaking hands, and Al sighed heavily. "Brother...I'll go get us some food."

"I don't want any."

"Ed...you can't do this."

"Do what?"

"Not eat, not sleep...not leave Mustang's side!" Al hesitated slightly. "If I didn't know better, it's almost like your in love with the

colonel..."

Al's voice broke off when he saw the tears dancing in Ed's eyes. "I don't believe it! How long has this been going on!"

"I don't know, ok! I don't know when it started! And believe me if I could stop I would! I just...I just...I can't!" Tears streamed down

Ed's cheeks, splashing onto his arms.

Al looked nervous. "I...I'll go get the food, brother. Things will get better!"

Ed didn't even look up when his brother left; his attention was now drawn back to the bed in front of him. Mustang lie in it, chest

rising softly, eyes shut tightly.

"Why won't you get up, Roy! Why won't you wake up?" Ed tried to wipe the tears off his face but they came too fast for him to

block; to force them back. "Why are you doing this to me! I already feel bad enough as it is! I know it's my fault, ok? If you die...if you

die..." the younger male choked back a sob. "if you die I don't know what I'll do."

"Get...platform..."

Ed was startled to hear Roy mumbling, and he leaned in closer. "Mustang?"

"Get...platform...platform shoes..."

Edward frowned in confusion. "Platform shoes?"

A soft grin appeared on Roy's lips, and his eyes opened. "No one will take you seriously if you're a midget!"

"I'm not SHORT!" Ed roared, the joy at seeing Roy awake and alive extinguished momentarily.

Roy laughed, then winced, touching his chest gingerly. "It feels like I was run over...wait! I was run over! And it's all because you

wouldn't listen to me!"

"I know!"

Roy was shocked to see the tears on Ed's face. "Ed? What's wrong with you?"

"I nearly got you killed!"

The colonel was nearly knocked off his bed as Ed hit him at a dive, and Roy winced slightly. "Easy, kid. I'm healing, remember?"

"What took you so long to wake up?"

"Did you seriously want to do this in front of your brother?" Roy grinned at the grimace on Ed's face. "That's your reason." The older

male hesitated, looking away.

"What's your problem?"

"Well...the last time I tried anything, you told me you wished I would die and then I get hit by a car! I would like to be careful this

time!"

Ed laughed. "Moron! I only said that because you thought you knew exactly how I would act."

A mischievous glint appeared in Roy's eyes, and he smirked. "About that...I think it's high time we pick up where we left off..."

Roy's lips connected with Ed's, and through the deep fire burning inside of him, he knew he'd never let go.
