Unnoticed: Oh gasp! I survived school!!! I can't believe it! Can you believe it? It's all because of your reviews!!! I want to thank everyone who had the heart to review!!!
I now have more free time to write stories!!! I thought I should lessen the wrath of the people… (Who knew a cliffy and a slightly slow update can be so deadly?)
Anyways, I need to stop beating around the bush… :ehem: I now present to you the next chapter of What Are You Planning? But I'm guessing you know what is going to happen… Right?
I don't own FMA… enough said… :sob:
Roy's POV
Red swollen eyes stared at me with hesitance, joy and… was that doubt? I vaguely wondered if he cried but I started to take notice of some other things as well. I noticed his face was slightly pale, his eyes were clouded, his posture looked tired, his hair is dull, his lips were set in a pained frown and his nose was red.
Then it struck me…
'He is sick… Edward is sick… My Edward is sick…' That sentence was all I could think about. I felt guilty as hell. I knew it had something to do with the milk and me, being the person who force-fed him the milk, is the one who is at fault. Being sick, no matter how familiar a person is to sickness, is always painful and knowing I hurt Ed intentionally still makes me feel guilty all over.
I held him close. I thought if I hugged him he would get better… How childish of me! I knew a sickness couldn't be healed by a simple hug… If that were the case the common cold wouldn't be so common anymore!
I couldn't see his face but I could feel him tense up in surprise then he relaxed in my hold. We just stood there peacefully for a couple of minutes. Content in the other's presence. Then Ed spoke.
"Roy, I…"
"Ed, I'm sorry! It was all my fault!" I butted in, not wanting for him to be the first one to apologies. I was filled with slight amusement with the irony of my decision and my words.
"But I…"
"No! It's not your fault!!! It's mine!!! I fed you that milk candy that's why you got sick! Of course, you knew you will get sick that's why you got angry at me. So that anger was really reasonable because who on earth wants to get sick? Okay, maybe there are some crazy people who do want to get sick for the sheer fun of it! But I know you don't want to get sick! That's you have every right to be angry at me! I shouldn't have shouted at you because I have no reasonable excuse to- mumph!!!" I stopped when Edward covered my mouth with a gloved hand. His eyes were filled with amusement and damn me if I wasn't happy to see that!
"You talk to much, don't you bastard? When I take my hand off I expect you to be quiet." Edward chuckled and let his hand leave my mouth.
"I'm sorry Ed." I muttered. I cupped his face with my hands and looked straight in his eyes. His beautiful golden eyes that always drown me with only a gaze.
"It's not your fault…" He murmured.
"But you got sick when I force-fed you milk!"
"It's not your fault I get sick when I drink milk… My allergy to 100% milk is my fault. I guess something happened when I handled the chemicals me and Al needed to learn and practice alchemy. So you see… it's not your fault." Ed told me in a reminiscent tone.
I blinked. "So the reason you hate milk is because of your allergy."
Ed growled. "Oh heck no!!! I have always hated that vile and disgusting substance even before I found out of my allergy. Always have and always will!!!"
I held his hands and looked at him seriously. "How come you never told me?"
Ed looked away. "I… I didn't want to…"
"Ed?"
"I… It… I guess… I think it will just add to the long list of flaws I have."
That made my eyebrows rise. "Flaws?"
"I know I'm not perfect Roy… And out of all the ladies in the town, why did you choose me? The others are all beautiful, rich, kind, elegant and female. Why did you choose me? Up until now I can't understand. There is no scientific reasoning, no logical explanation and no rationality… Why did you choose me?" Ed whispered looking at me with doubt and wavering trust but there was a tint of hope and love in those golden orbs.
"Ed, I chose you because you are beautiful. I chose you because you are a great and wonderful person. I chose you because I wanted to spend my life with you. Ed, I chose you because I love you…" I answered with great sincerity that I hoped was enough.
I now understand why Edward got angry when I fed him milk. He didn't want to tell me of his allergy. He thought I wouldn't love him if I knew… Which, in my opinion, is a silly thing to think about.
Edward tackled me and laughed, a sound that is music to my ears. "Love you too, you bastard!"
I smiled and held him close. I felt giddy with mirth.
Edward looked at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "So… is this the part where we kiss and make up?"
I grinned back. "What do you think?"
He answered me back with a passionate kiss which I gladly returned. He tasted much more sweeter somehow… Something that made me wonder and made me feel a lot better.
(Sadly, the next scenes are things that are not appropriate for young and innocent minds to hear. May your parents be the one to educate you.)
Unnoticed: Oh the sap!!! I hope I can't die from the sap! Because if I die, who will write the epilogue??? Yes, people this is the second to the last chapter. I'm sad that I'm nearly finished with this but I'm also happy that I wrote this!!! Thanks a lot for reading and reviewing!!!
I'm sorry for the people who wanted something more intimate than just say they kissed but I'm sorry but I'm not ready for that yet. Please forgive me!!!
I hope you liked it!!! I really hope so!!!
