Chapter 8 Chimeras

Ed pulled his coat over Roy head so he wouldn't get any more wet.

"I didn't mean to-

"Shut up." Ed stated.

Roy stopped walking and looked at Ed angrily.

"Just forget about it alright." Ed stated putting his hands on his hips "I understand why you felt that why okay." He stated trying to get to Roy's house.

"Really?" Roy asked with unbelief.

"You haven't gotten any for about half a month you are going through withdrawal." Ed smiled.

"You make it sound like a drug." Roy stated flatly.

"It's not like you really care about me right." Ed smiled.

Roy didn't answer the question. This conversation felt like it was tearing him apart.

"Hey….Thanks for helping me though." Ed tried to smile.

Roy looked at Ed for a moment. There was something in his voice that Roy didn't like. He didn't know it but Ed felt the same way Roy did at that moment. Upset, and full of pain and sadness for what he said to Roy. Roy had to resist the temptations of putting his arm around Ed. He knew it would have been more conferrable, and more soothing to him, but at Ed's pervious words hesitated to do so.

When they arrived they both went to change their clothes. Maes looked at how gloomy the both where, and looked at them both.

"Edward…I can let you stay with me if you would like." Maes stated.

Ed looked shocked, and then realized it was best. He was distracting Mustang and he knew it. He nodded slowly. Roy had a look of angwish on his face.

"Umm..Hughes can he stay one more night." Mustang asked as if he was a child.

"Sir, if those are your orders." Maes stated.

Roy looked at Ed.

"Yeah sure I'll stay one night." He sighed.

Mustang gave Ed a fake smile then went to the bathroom to clean up a bit. He then came out, laid on the couch, and let out a sigh.

"Why did you want me to stay?" Ed asked.

"I don't know." Roy stated turning to face the back of the couch.

Ed knew that this meant he was going to sleep in Roy's room, and he took Al with him feeling a bit uneasy. It was roughly early morning when Ed woke up. He saw that it was around four am now. He didn't realize how fast he had fallen asleep. Al just sitting on the ground. Ed got up, and went to the bathroom. While in there he opened a window and climbed out. It took about ten minutes for Al to get up. He knocked on the bathroom door.

"Brother?" He called out.

Roy's eyes opened a bit, and he sat up.

"What's wrong Al?" He whispered.

"I'm sorry Colonel. Ed hasn't come back from the bathroom for about ten minutes." He explained.

Roy knocked.

"Ed?" He called.

No answer. After a few minutes Roy got uncomfortable with this, and forced the door open. No one was in there but he noticed the door right away. He ran the front door, and realized it was raining heavily. He closed the door in anger.

"Colonel." Ed whined.

"He left. Al if you can think of anywhere Ed might be please tell me." Roy said worried.

(Sorry last chapter the break didn't work I hope it does this time)

Ed was reading books in Tucker's basement. After about five minutes. He noticed pairs of eyes looking at him. Ed dropped the book and got up to run. He could hear creatures running after him, and he tripped. He saw things that where unmistakable chimeras snake-goats, bird-kangaroo, and many other horrific beasts. Ed crawled away, clapped his hands and a sad excuse for a wall that only went up about maybe half a foot high and wide, in front of him. He got up and began running. He left something ram his legs, and he rolled off into a corner. He let out a scream as he saw monsters coming at him. Suddenly a wall of flames flashed in front of him. Ball of fire hurling some of the beasts to the walls and they didn't get back up. Roy ran to Ed.

"Edward." He said getting on his knees.

He could hear Ed sobbing as he sat there hugging his knees. Roy got up, and pulled him to his feet. Roy was suddenly tackled and slid a few feet away from ed.

"Roy!" Ed screamed.

He wasn't sure what hit him, but he was suddenly pinned down, and a grotesque beast lifted its large claw like hand and slashed Ed in the chest. Ed screamed at the top of his lungs. Mustang rammed into the beast, fiercely pushing it off Ed. He began snapping his fingers keeping the monster at bay. He looked down at Ed, who's shirt was ripped open. He turned away from him, and Roy's face turned a bit red. Ed whimpered as he held his shirt to his chest. As Roy heard this, his flames grew louder, and where more bright. Ed curled into a ball in utter fear. Mustang huffed a bit, and then knelt down.

"You're all right now." He stated.

Roy helped Ed up and was about to yell at him for doing what he did, but couldn't because Ed latched onto him, and was crying loudly. Roy froze remembering the Barry the Chopper incident where Ed acted the same way. Roy pulled his close.

"Look we can't just stand here." He whispered.

Roy let Edward go, and knelt down.

"Get on my back. I'm running out of here, and I'll blow up anything that gets in my way okay." He stated.

Ed wrapped his arms around Roy's neck. Roy put one arm under Ed, and felt Ed shift suddenly.

"Sorry." Roy whispered.

He realized Ed was a very sensitive person, and could feel Ed's outline on his back. He bit his lip avoiding all temptation. Mustang began running, and snapping his fingers when a chimera got to close to him. He pushed the door open that led out, and closed it. Ed was sobbing into Roy's shoulder. Roy bent down a bit, and Ed let go. Roy turned around, and the young alchemist clung to Roy as if for dear life. Roy heard a howl, and both he and Ed turned to see a lion chimara. Roy pushed Edward, but didn't have the time to snap. Just seconds before the lion lunged at Roy if fell dead. Maes Hughes had thrown three daggers at the lion. Ed held his shirt, and Mustang gave him his coat. Hughes led them to his car, and Ed wouldn't stop sobbing. Mustang while in the seat of the car edge closer to Ed.

"Hey, your okay, you can stop crying now." Roy said sounding tired.

Ed once again clung to Roy. Hughes mad a side glance at the mirror but kept quit,

"It hurts!" Ed screamed.

Roy blinked. Then looked at Ed's shirt looking for blood, but was happy not to find any.

"Can I stay with Hughes?" He cried out.

"Yeah…." Roy whispered saddened to hear Ed say that.

Hughes dropped Roy off, and Al went into his car. Mustang felt pain in his body. Mostly in his chest. He went to bed and could smell Ed's scent lingering on it. His fists clenched around the sheets as tears ran down his eyes. He hated to admit it but he knew now he loved Edward. He never really loved anyone before this. He just dated women for the popularity, and the status. To make himself look better, and the fact dating someone made him feel needed. Roy just discovered that non of them really needed him at all, but Ed showed him that he needed Roy. Roy buried his head in his pillow, and could smell Ed's shampoo hair smell. His heart felt like it was being torn apart.
