Darkness. Thats all he could see. For a moment he had thought he had gone blind. Then he could hear the faint sound of voices. One was familiar, though he couldn't yet place who it had belonged to.
"It is going to take him a couple of weeks at least for him to recover." He heard one voice say. He didn't recognize this one "And what of The Major?" A feminine voice questioned. Hawkeye. He attempted to open his eyes, which proved to be a futile effort as they didn't budge. "Mr.Elric will be fine in a day or two. I think Mr. Mustang is waking up now. I'll leave you alone." The elderly voice said before apparently leaving the room. He heard Riza walk over to his bed.
"Sir? Are you awake?" she questioned lightly. Roy almost didn't recognize the person to be Hawkeye, her tone was so soft and calming.
"Yes." He managed to croak out before a sharp pain tore through his chest. He cried out in agony, only making the discomfort more extreme. "Sir! please calm down, you'll only make it worse." Riza said placing a gentle hand on Mustang's chest. Finally, he was able to open his eyes. "Sir, why did you do this to yourself?" she said looking him directly in the eye. Roy raised an eyebrow. Done what? what had he done to himself? Wait... the transmutation!
"Edward..." he carefully whispered, so as not to repeat his earlier encounter with pain.
"He's right here, sir." Hawkeye drew back the curtain that separated the two beds in the hospital room. All he could manage to see was a pile of blanket, with a tuft of blonde hair sticking from the top. Roy smiled softly. "Is he"
"he's fine sir. He'll be released in a day or two. You, on the other hand." she began, turning fully to Roy now.
"You lost one of you're lungs, and, somehow, part of your liver. You were nearly dead when i had found you. Roy,
why would you do this?" she asked, seemingly upset about the whole thing. Roy' eyes shifted the the bed next to him.
"For him." he stated simply, a fond smile crossing his lips. Hawkeye smiled as well, keeping her eyes on Roy. She quickly wipped it away, preparing to scold the man "It was foolish, sir. You could've lost so much more. You could be dead now"
"i don't care. The gate could've taken everything, as long as he was safe, i wouldn't care." Roy responded, never taking his eyes off of Edward. His eyes widened when he saw the pile move slowly.
"Ed..." Roy called out, attempting to sit up, only to be pushed down by both Hawkeye and the pain amounting in his chest Edward yawned and stretched, slowly turning toward Mustang. He smiled slightly, then his eyes widened as well.
"Roy??!!!" He nearly squeeled as he sat up. Small tears welled in his eyes as he drapped his legs over the side of the bed.
"Edward, you shouldn't-" Hawkeye was cut off when she saw that the metal limbs that where supposed to be there, were no longer. She gasped, and smiled. Ed slowly made his way over to Roy's bed. The stood, staring in disbelief at his Colonel. A cautious hand reached out and landed on the raven locks to assure himself that he really was here, that Roy really was right in front of him. He brought his other hand up to cup the side of Roy's face.
"Roy..." Ed Whispered as a tear found it's way down his face, gathering at his chin. Roy reached up and wipped it away "I'm here, Ed." He whispered before pulling the young boy down into a much needed hug. Ed cried into Roy's chest as he clutched the fabric covering it. "Excuse me." Hawkeye said softly before exiting the room to give the two the privacy they needed.
As soon as Hawkeye was out of sight, Mustang let the tears flow.
