I am soooo sorry that it took me sooo long to update. Like I've said before, school is starting to kill me. Probally because it is getting closer to Christmas and all the teachers are rushing to get what they have to teach down. Mostly my biology teacher because we are soooo far behind.
But I will continue to post almost every week again. I will start working on it every day even if it kills me. But yeah.
Disclaimer: Like always, I do not own Full Metal Alchemist or any of there characters. I would love to own Mustang evil grin but that will never happen.
Now, on with the show!

"Ah, it seems that you are done and ready to leave." The nurse took the papers from Ed and sat them on the desk and started to type into the computer. "Well Edward, you are ready to leave. Remember Colonel, if anything happens, bring him straight back here." Roy nodded and the nurse took Edward and rolled him out to the car that was waiting with Hawkeye in the drivers seat.
Roy helped Ed into the backseat and then they waved goodbye to the nurse. It feels good the be out of that hospital. Now, just to make sure Roy finds nothing else out, and then get away from him, and I will be able to do what I want again. Ed thought as Hawkeye pulled away from the hospital heading for Roy's house.
It's been about a week since Ed had moved into Roy's home. Roy could tell that Ed was doing a lot better, not by how he looked, but by how he seemed to have become himself a lot quicker then Roy thought he would. Ed would sit and complain and call him Colonel Bastard. Roy could tell Ed didn't like being in his home, but he really didn't have a choice. Al decided to stay at Winry's until things got better, and Roy didn't stop him because he knew it was the best thing for him to do.
"COLONEL BASTARD!!!!" Roy looked up from his desk at his house and knew it was only Ed who was calling him. Roy go up and walked out of his office and into the guest room Ed was staying in. Ed's room had a big bed that looked like it could swallow him in a second with red and black silk sheets covering it. The bed was made out of a dark oak and so was the dresser and bedside tables. There was a little alarm clock on one of the tables, and a picture of Ed and Al. Al thought it would be nice for his brother to have a picture of him since he would be gone for who knows how long. Roy noticed Ed was half in and half out of the bed sheets, and just couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny bastard?" Ed asked with a frown on his face.
"Oh, just the fact that the bed is practically swallowing your small body."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THEY CAN'T GET ONTO A BED WITHOUT A STEP STOOL!!!" Ed yelled and fell out of the bed.
Roy walked over and picked Ed up and said, "You know that is not what I said Edward." Ed was fighting in his arms as he wanted to be sat down, and Roy happily obliged with Ed's request and sat him down on the bed.
Every since the accident, Ed found himself confined to a bed. Every time he tried to get up and walk, he would fall down and yell. Roy could tell that Ed was pissed and humiliated that he couldn't walk and do things on his own. Roy learned not to push it, but he learned it the hard way.
Flashback to the first day at Roy's
"I can walk myself to the bed bastard!" Ed yelled when Roy continued to carry him into the bedroom he would be staying in.
"If you say so Edward," Roy replied and put Ed down until he could tell he was standing on his legs and not wobbling. He backed away from Ed and watched as he took a step and fell straight on his face.
"FUCK!!!!!" Ed yelled but was muffled from the carpet. "Help me you bastard!!!"
"But dear Edward, I thought you could make it to the bed yourself," Roy had a grin on his face as he walked over and rolled Ed over onto his back and did not expect to feel cold metal connect with his jaw.
Roy fell back and landed on the floor. "What the hell Ed!" Roy yelled and grabbed his jaw.
"You knew this would happen! You let me fucking fall! You deserve some kind of payback you bastard!" Ed started to drag himself closer to the bathroom that was connected to his room by only using his hands.
"Where are you going Ed?" Roy asked standing up and holding his jaw. He knew he would have to put ice on it soon.
"I'm going to use that bathroom if you can't tell. Do you want to follow and watch me you sick fuck." Ed made it to the bathroom and shut the door leaving Roy just staring where he was.
"I'll be back in a few minutes to help you get into bed. I'm going to go and have someone make us something to eat," Roy walked out of the room not waiting for a reply as he went to go find the chef of his house not aware what was really going on in the bathroom.
"Shit! I hit him! How could I be so stupid!" Ed yelled at himself when he knew Roy left the room.
"Maybe it's cause you're a fuck up, just like I said," Shad answered Ed's question without hesitation.
"Ugh, your back. Why don't you leave me alone?" Ed questioned as leaned his back against the door.
"I will once you realize that once again, I am right. Do what I want, and I'll leave you alone to be with your lover boy."
"He's not my lover boy!" Ed yelled.
"But that's not what you think is it Edward. You want him so bad that it hurts. You want him to take you into his bed and just fuck you senseless. You know that will never happen. How could someone like that love you or even have anything to do with you. Your just pathetic."
"SHUT UP!!"
"No, not until you listen to what I have to say!"
"If I listen, will you leave me alone for awhile?" Ed asked looking up at the ceiling.
"Yes. Now listen. I want you to do what I always tell you to do. No, not the killing yourself part. We can save that for another time. So go ahead and transmute your arm into the blade like usual and take it across some part of your body. I don't care which part, just do it." Shad smiled when he said this knowing that Ed wouldn't see it unless he closed his eyes.
"I don't want to. I'm not in the mood today," Ed replied closing his eyes so he could see what Shad was doing.
"I won't leave you alone unless you do, and trust me, I can make your life more hell then it already is. Now do you want that Ed?" Shad's smile became sick and twisted knowing that he was about to get what he wanted.
"You better leave me alone then." Ed clapped his hands together and touched his auto-mail arm. It changed into the blade. Ed looked at it as it glistened in the light. He slowly pulled up his shirt and sat the blade along his chest. He slowly pushed down as he slid it along his skin. He watched as little dots of crimson slowly rose and then started to pour out of the cut.
Ed lifted the blade off his chest, and just continue to watch as the bleeding got heavier and heavier. Shit! I might have done it to deep.
"Don't just sit there you idiot! Get a towel and make it stop!" Shad yelled with something that made him seem worried in his voice.
Ed crawled over to a closet in and opened the door. There were a whole bunch of towels, wash cloths, shampoo's and soaps that lined the shelves. Ed could tell this part was done mostly by Al because all the shampoos were the kind he would only used and the towels and wash cloths were red and black. Ed reached up and grabbed two towels out of the closet and quickly shut the door.
He just pressed one of the towels to his chest when he heard Roy walk into his bedroom. "Everything ok in there Edward?"
"Yes! Gosh, can't someone get privacy in the bathroom!" Ed yelled as he pressed the towel harder to his chest trying to get the bleeding to stop.
"I was just making sure cause you've been in there for about 5 minutes now."
"Well give me a break Colonel Bastard. You know I can't walk. It takes awhile to craw everywhere and you know it!" Ed snapped back.
"I'm sorry Ed. I went to the chef. He's going to make us something to eat. He'll have one of the maids bring it up here when it's done." Roy decided to change the subject knowing that he really didn't want to argue.
"Alright, that sounds fine. How's your jaw by the way?" Ed asked as he removed the towel and noticed it stopped bleeding.
"It's doing fine."
"That's good. I'm sorry that I hit you, it just pissed me off." Ed said as he now crawled across the floor to where the blood was and started to wipe it up. It didn't exactly all wipe up. A lot of it smudged and he decided that he would clean it the next time he went into the bathroom. He threw the towels into the clothes hamper that was by the door and reached up and turned the handle. He slowly crawled out and shut the door and wait till Roy was right beside him to look up.
Roy reached down and picked Ed up and took him to the bed and the maid soon came in with their food.
End of flash back
Roy grabbed his jaw when he remembered getting hit. The bruise and lump had finally disappeared a few days ago, but he could still fill it every once in a while. He noticed Ed had food all on his face and decided he would clean it up. Roy walked to Ed's bathroom door and reached for the handle and when Ed realized what he was doing he froze. Ed knew he kept forgetting to do something, and when he saw Roy reach for the door, he remembered and knew that no matter what he did, he was screwed.
Roy turned the door handle and looked in. What he saw was what he did not want to see. He looked at the floor and saw blood all over. He noticed that it led to the closet so he walked over and opened the door. What he found were two dry bloody towels. He picked them up and walked back to the door so Ed could see him.
"Edward," Roy said as he looked at him, "What happened, and I want the truth."
At that moment, Ed knew he had just been caught.
