Hurting Heart

Her chest rose and fell as she inhaled and exhaled. She was hurt and he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't numb the pain nor could he stop it. Her screams and groans rang through the room long after they were issued from her lips.

His heart was crushed with every minute, no every second, she lied there in pain. He cursed, drowning himself in a sea of misery. He couldn't believe he let this happen. It was his fault and he knew it.

Sometimes nothing but the thing that makes you depressed can save you. Roy sat by the bed of his First Lieutenant in guilt. He had done this to her, he hadn't saved her, he he he he! A movement in the bed interrupted Roy's thoughts. He immediately stood, leaning over his Lieutenant.

"Roy…?" a whisper managed to escape her mouth. Her voice was cracked unable to produce the lovely voice he loved so much.

"I'm right here, Riza. I'm right here. I won't leave. I will save you, don't worry." He had not a clue of what he said. He just wanted to reassure he was still by her side. A small smile surfaced on her face, lighting up her face.

"I….kn…ow…" She managed to say. Roy was close to tears at this point. He wanted to make her feel better but there wasn't anyway apparent to him. His eyes were blood shot from the lack of sleep he had ever since this happened to his Riza.

"Lie… d…own." Riza murmured laboriously. Roy shook his head.

"I can't." Roy replied hurting.

Riza began to move her body to the left of the bed; the expressions on her face made Roy want to kill himself. Little agonizing breaths leaked from her lips. Roy made a movement to stop her from moving. She tried to wave him away but she could barely lift her arm after moving so much.

Roy crawled into bed next her, careful of all the cords and junk hanging around them. He stroked her hair, pulling it out of her eyes. They lied there in silence trying to enjoy each others company, but without success. Just the fact that Riza was in pain left Roy on the verge of insanity. If only he could do something, if only.

Roy wanted to say something to make Riza feel better to cheer her up but there were no words from the famous Roy Mustang, man who knew just what to say at the right time. Roy scoffed. How wrong these people were. Why just now he couldn't even make the woman he loved feel better.

Roy felt hopeless as he lied there next to his love, kissing her forehead and cheeks.

"I love you, Riza." Roy spoke softly as he closed his eyes, nuzzling his head under hers.

A/N: This one was really hard to write cause I wanted to make it a tear-jerker but I didn't know if my insane mind could stand the death of Riza. Really I think that neither of them should die. Heh I just got done watching the latest episode on FMA called "Assault on South Headquarters". Really good ep. Anywho ill stop my rambling, please review!
