Silence

Writer's block.. It kills me! XDD

Mmm.. Well, not much to say here besides review.

Ed groaned, pulling covers up over his eyes. The damn sun.. And why was it so hot in here? Burning.. He kicked the covers away, only to have them pulled back up.

What the hell?

He opened his eyes, then blinked.

"Full metal." A voice said, almost cheerily.

An evil voice..

One he knew too well.

"Colonel?" He said. Hmm.. Well, not really said, but croaked. His voice sounded like someone took their nails over a chalkboard. He coughed a bit, trying to get his voice back to normal.

"It's fuehrer." Roy said, rolling his eyes. "And you shouldn't move too much. Your fever has gotten worse, a while ago, it was about.. 101." He guessed, shrugging.

Ed's eyes widened, the words hitting him like a speeding truck. "101!" He yelled, sitting up. Everything felt woozy after that, and he slowly moved back onto the bed, coughing.

Mustang blinked, taken a bit aback. "Um.." Was all he managed to say.

"How'd you find me?" Ed whispered.

"Ahh.." Roy said laughing. "Such an odd story.. A middle aged woman had held you captive. You don't look like you've had much food since then.." He added, looking at Ed's ribs. "She dropped you off here."

"She..?" Ed asked. Hadn't Envy..?

"Yes. Did she drug you?" Roy asked surprised.

"Uh.. No.." Ed said, snuggling his head further into the pillow. "It's.. Nothing."

Roy nodded, then a nurse walked in.

"Hm.. Well, my time with you seems to be up. I'll visit tomorrow, Edward." He waved as he left, smiling a genuine smile.

Ed stared blankly. Ok..? Roy being nice.. Right.. Was the world ending?

The nurse walked over to Ed's bed, looking down at him.

"Yes?" Ed asked, irritated. He didn't feel like being stared down at, especially in his condition now.

"That was a close one, Chibi-san." The nurse sighed, grinning.

Ed stared in disbelief as the so called 'nurse' transformed into Envy.

"AGH!" He yelled, then went into a coughing fit.

"Chibi.." Envy cooed, putting a finger over his lips. "Don't be so loud, you might attract attention."

Ed glared up at Envy, then slapped his hand away. "Go Envy, or I'll get someone in here." He hissed.

"Like who?" Envy said, looking more sadistic.

Ed flinched, then turned away. "Just leave me alone."

"Why?" Envy sighed, plopping down on the bed. "Do you not want me to spend time with you while your sick?"

"No!" Ed growled, covering his head with the pillow.

Envy pouted, tugging on the pillow. "Chibi…" He said once again. When he got no response, he pulled the pillow away, then brought his face inches away from Ed's.

Ed stared up, malice filling his eyes. He was so tired of being treated like a dog, hate couldn't even begin to explain it. The worst part was, he probably couldn't fight back at the moment. Most of the room was distorted.

"Chibi?" Envy questioned, putting his hand on Ed's forehead. "You don't look so good anymore."

Ed laid his head on the mattress, staring across the room.

"Then, I have no choice." Envy sighed, getting up.

FINALLY. Ed's mind yelled with joy. He'll leave me alone.

"You need to give me your arm, chibi." Envy said from across the room. Ed turned his attention to Envy, who now held a five inch needle.

The only thing his mind could say was..

OH. SHIT.

He jumped across the room, breathing heavily. "DON'T TOUCH ME WITH THAT THING!" He yelled, using the comforter as a shield.

"Chiiibbbiii…" He repeated, looking at Ed then at the needle. "It'll fix you."

"No! It could be poisonous! YOUR LYING!" Ed hissed, then held his head as it started throbbing from all the yelling.

Envy jumped over the bed, then turned upside down on his back, grinning like a mad man. "Please chibi?"

"No!" Ed groaned, now against the wall. Envy sighed, pinning Ed against the wall.

"Don't touch me.." Ed growled, reaching his hand out to Envy, as he quickly jabbed him with needle.

"Ow!" Ed yelled, clutching his arm.

Envy tossed the needle over his shoulder, slightly tapping his forehead on Ed's. Ed flinched at the sudden contact, but didn't move.

"Your still warm, chibi-san." Envy concluded.

Ed rolled his eyes. "Duh! Shots don't just work like magic.. It takes time.." He said, then held his eyes closed for a second as his head throbbed.

Envy looked back at the cabinet, furrowing his brows. "Should I give you another?" He mumbled, scratching his head.

"Don't overdose me with stuff! Are you trying to kill me?" Ed hissed, his eyes wide.

"Uhm.." Envy thought, and Ed paled.

"You alright there, chibi?" Envy asked, blinking.

Ed coughed in his hands, then glared up at Envy. "I'd be fine if you'd just go away."

Envy was silent, just staring at Ed.

"I'm… Sorry." He said simply, standing up.

"WAH?" Ed yelled bluntly, as Envy unlatched a window in the room and jumped out.

Ed looked over to the window, still short of words.

Envy.. Sorry..?

Could those words go in the same sentence?

How did he know that word, anyway!

Ed came to a conclusion right then.

Either, indeed everyone had been abducted by aliens and replaced;

Or

He was dreaming.

Ed's eyes drooped as he laid on the bed.

Yeah.. Dreaming. He curled up on the mattress, sleep slowly drifting upon him.

-----

Ed woke up the next day, feeling a lot better. He was out of the hospital now, but a feeling nagged at his mind every five seconds.

He hadn't dreamed hurting Envy.

Wait? His face flushed as he walked down the sidewalk.

Envy couldn't be hurt emotionally! That was like.. Cats.. Flying or something. Ed yelped as a cat suddenly plopped onto his head, skittering off down an ally.

"NO! IT IS, THE END OF THE WORLD!" He screamed, running down the sidewalk to get to his home.

An old woman glared from atop one of the buildings. "AND STAY OUT, YOU STUPID CAT!" She yelled, then moved from the windowsill.

Ed reached his dorm, panting like mad, and slammed the door. He breathed in heavily, realizing nothing was going to happen, and walked into the dorm.

Sighing, he looked around the place. It was.. Dusty. And, dirty. He flinched, no way was he ever going to be able to finish all this cleaning by himself.

Shrugging, he walked towards the middle of the room, only to be knocked off his feet by a certain palm tree.

"Edo!" Envy yelled, cuddling the tiny alchemist.

"ENVY!" Ed yelped, but relaxed for a second when he figured Envy wouldn't rip his guts out and paint his blood on the walls.

"I'm so glad your back from that.. Hospital place." Envy grinned, placing his head on the nape of Ed's neck.

Ed stared at the wall, sighing. "Envy.. I wanted to tell you.."

Envy looked up attentively, waiting for Ed to finish.

"I'm sorry.. For umm.." He coughed. "Hurting your umm.. Feelings?" Ed guessed, looking up at Envy.

Envy stared for a second, then a madman's grin was placed on his face.

Ed stared.

"Chibi! Awww.." Envy said, clutching him tighter. Ed gasped from lack of breath, now trying to wriggle out of Envy's grasp.

"I knew it would work.." Envy's mind laughed manically.

Ed flopped onto the carpet breathing precious, precious air.

Envy clapped his hands together, the grin forming back on his face. "Then that's it!"

"What's it..?" Ed asked, looking up.

"We'll go out to dinner, my treat!" He smiled.

Ed stared. "Umm.. I don't think.."

"NONSENCE!" Envy yelled, grabbing Ed's hand. "Let's go."

Ed frowned as he was dragged from his safe, secure dorm.
