The Fallen
Chapter 2
Hey, I know what AU means now! Yay!
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA... Do Not Flame Me!
Oh, yeah, and this is an original poem (actually, it's a song), so shut up and no flaming! And please, review. Hehe!
Edward was still unconscious on the hospital bed in Central. Roy and Alphonse sat with him all day and all night. Edward had been sleeping for four days straight now, and hadn't shown any sign of waking up soon.
In his sleep, Edward's mind totured him. He tossed and turned, trying to free himself from his nightmares. No one knew what he dreamed of. They thought it was his memories, popping up and toturing him.
"Alphonse, it's been five days and you haven't slept much... You should go and rest for a bit... I can stay with Edward."
"Colonel...um... General, I couldn't do that to you..."
"When Ed wakes up; he'll be upset to know that you've been abusing your body by not sleeping..."
Alphonse tensed. "...You think...he'll be upset...?" Of course, that's not what he wanted to say, and Mustang knew it... Mustang knew the the boy wanted to say, 'You think he'll wake up?'
Mustang smiled and nodded. "Go and rest, Al."
"Yes, sir. ...And...thanks, for watching over Brother..."
"It's not a problem, Al, now go on..."
Alphonse left Roy and Edward alone in the room. Roy watched Edward as he began to toss in his sleep again. Mustang rubbed the boy's forehead and smiled. "It's gonna be all right, Fullmetal..."
I still call him Fullmetal... Even all we've been through...
Edward's eyes fluttered open and he stared at Mustang is surprise.
"Must...ang..."Edward managed to get out. Edward coughed and closed his eyes again, but he was smiling this time.
Did you know about the sunny days that were waiting for us someday?
Didn't you hear them calling?
Didn't you remember all the good old days from our past?
Don't you want to see them again?
Oh, the sunny days of our past…
They just flew by…
Even though, I want them to stay…
And even though, I want to see them again with you…
I know that they'll never be back…
Because those sunny days…
They disappeared long ago…
And they're never coming back…
So, why am I asking you if you want to see them?
Why do I ask such silly questions of you all the time?
Are you gone for good?
Just like the days of our past?
