DISCLAIMER- I do NOT own Fullmetal Alchemist.
Hey Guys. Sorry for not updating sooner! This IS NOT a part of Deep Blue Sea, sorry. But I will get back on that. This is just a nice break xD Enjoy!
"HAVOC! Stay out of there! He'll burn you to a crisp!" The sharpshooter yelled frantically. He turned and looked at her, confusion clear on his face.
"What's wrong with him?" Riza closed her eyes. Even she wasn't sure what was wrong, but ever since Maes died, the Colonel had been getting harder and harder to handle. He'd often been going on dates, and occasionally, they helped, but for the most part, he'd been very very irritable. She had tried to go in early and seen him on his knees, head in his hands, tearing at himself. He warned her not to let anyone in and had indeed shot flames at her. She swiftly obeyed, but she didn't know how long she could take it.
"He isn't well at the moment. I fear you need to stay out, Jean." He nodded his head slightly.
"He will be ok, right?" Hawkeye nodded.
"We can only hope..." Fuery chose that moment to chime in.
"We could ask Boss (1) to help? If there's anyone who can deal with his alchemy attacks, it's Ed!" Hawkeye sighed.
"I suppose it is worth a try." She walked briskly over to the desk and picked up the phone. It rang a few times before a soft voice reached her ears.
"Hello?"
"Alphonse? It's Lieutenant Hawkeye. May I speak to your brother? I'm afraid it's rather urgent."
"Oh yes! Right away!" The phone was muffled. "BROTHER! HAWKEYE IS ON THE PHONE!" There was prominent stomping then an angry,
"What is it?"
"Edward, we have an emergency, it's about the Colonel..." there was a sharp inhale before-
"What happened? He isn't...dead...?" Ed had taken Maes' death hard, and Roy was the last person he could trust. If anything happened to the Colonel, his journey would end.
"No, Edward. But he seems in pain, and he won't let anyone near him. I tried threatening him, but he responded with flames in my face." There was a brief pause before Ed answered.
"I'll be there in a moment." Ed hung up. Hawkeye looked at her subordinates with a sad smile.
"He's our last hope. Let's hope he can do this."
Edward arrived fairly quickly and walked forward toward the Colonel's personal office. He knocked quietly.
"Colonel? Are you alright in there?" A muffled cry. A screech.
"E-Ed...Is that you?"
"Yeah Colonel. Can I come in?" Another screech.
"N-No! Stay out!" Gears started turning in Edward's head.
"That's it, Colonel. I'm coming in whether you like it or not!" And with that, he promptly kicked the door open, and slammed it shut behind him.
It was not what he expected. The Colonel looked paler than before. His skin looked as if it were made of sand paper, and his eyes had rolled half back in his head. He was writhing and shaking on the floor while shrieking and clutching at his head.
"STAY AWAY!" he commanded. But Edward payed no heed. When had he ever?
"No. Not until you tell me what's wrong! You people always try to treat me like a kid, but I had to grow up when I was ten." His expression softened. "It's time you followed your own advice and let people help you." Roy continued shaking, but ceased his pain-filled cries to look at the Fullmetal Alchemist.
"Y-You won't...You won't tell anyone? Not even Hawkeye?" Ed's expression faded even more into one of sympathy.
"You've kept my secret. I don't see why I shouldn't keep yours." Roy nodded. Slowly, he tilted his head up at Edward and pulled his lips back to reveal...Two large protruding white fangs. Edward's eyes widened.
"You're a...vampire?" Roy nodded slowly, painfully. Suddenly, Edward grew very angry.
"YOU IDIOT!" he screamed. Roy looked shaken. The puzzle pieces finally fit together. "You haven't fed since Maes died, isn't that right?" This time, it was Roy's turn to be shocked. "That's what I thought. You damn fool!" Roy blinked. Was it really that obvious? Edward flopped down on the couch with a sigh and motioned Mustang over.
"Edward..."
"Don't just sit there. The office is worried about you. Hell, I was worried when Hawkeye called. You can feed on me. Just...try not to kill me.." Being given permission, Roy pounced, latching onto Edwards neck, and draining his blood. He had tried a few times, to feed on his sleeping one-nighters, but it never felt right. For one, he felt guilty, not having asked permission, but they always tasted sour. Roy quickly depleted what he needed from Edward, who was looking a bit worse for wear. But he smiled at Roy, despite it. He was glad his friend wasn't suffering any longer.
"Just ask Roy. I'll let you whenever you need." Roy smiled in return and placed Edward's head on the couch with the rest of his body. Edward's eyes were closing when he heard a mumbled,
"Thank you."
Ok, I know! I am never good at endings X( But I am trying lol. Anyway, as I said before, I was trying to write more for Deep Blue Sea, but this prompt kept getting into my head! See this however you want, this is your imagination, not mine. Anyway, I think this was a good one... sorta... Tell me what you think and I promise I will get back on Deep Blue Sea soon!
(1) I have no idea who is Boss (Ed?) Or who is Chief (Roy?) Someone help me out here? xD
