No scared.
No scared of stupid.
I watched Blue in the mirror, his stupid blue eyes flickering from road to stupid. Don't be scared, not bad, not bad at all. Greed groaned, eyes closed tight. Greed, stupid didn't know you were sick. Don't die. Can't die. Wont let you, I wont. Never leave stupid, please. Please never leave me. I touched stupid Greed's sweaty cheek. Cold, he was cold, but sweaty like he was hot. Don't understand. Stupid can't understand. Scared, I'm so scared. Blue is too, don't be. I wont hurt you.
Red, saw the way he looked at Red. Sweet, Blue loved Red. Blue was good, helping stupid and all. Red told him too, but he would either way. Had too, Blue was good. Right? Red, was Red okay? Blue knew, should stupid ask Blue. Scared of Blue, scared for Greed. Scared, scared, scared.
"Red. . . . . . . .is. . . . . . . . .okay?" I asked, and he looked back. My stupid broken voice was so slow, so hallow and dead. Hated it, hated the way I sounded. Stupid needs more smarts. So stupid can talk to Blue and Red.
"She's better. It's just her leg, it's broken. But they fixed it in a cast. . . .you know. . .that funny looking white thing on her foot? Well that's a cast, and it helps keep her foot together until it's healed." Blue's eyes looked sad. Pain. . .pain was there. Pain cause of stupid. Stupid got Red hurt. It's all stupid's fault. Always my fault. Can't make it right, sorry wont work. Sorry wont fix stupid broken foot. Sorry wont get rid of stupid funny cast. Greed grunted, his dark stupid eyebrows squeezing together. Tight, tight, tight. Pain, Greed was in pain.
"It. . . . .was. . . . .my fault." I whispered low, my voice hitching at the end. Sounded scary, like a stupid animal. I reached over, taking stupid cold Greed's hand. So cold. Scared. I'm scared Greed. Wake up, don't die. Can't die, wont let you. Never will. His hand clamed down on me, stupid Greed, that hurt. Squeezing hard, pain hurting him and me. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
"No, it wasn't your fault. I didn't mean to make it your fault when I first met you. I'm sorry about that." Shook head, shook head no. Blue was wrong, it was my fault. Not for me, stupid Big Brother Envy would of never found Red. Would of never hurt her. My fault.
"No. . . . . . . .I'm. . . . . . . . sorry." Still wont work, but felt nice to say out loud. Blue glanced at stupid, his eyes were pretty, not as pretty as Red's. But stupid pretty. Trust was there, in those stupid pretty eyes, and he sighed as he pulled into Red's driveway. Didn't think, just jumped out of the stupid moving car thing, and raced to Greed's door. Sleepy Greed, still had his eyes closed. Wake up, come on Greed. I'm scared, and it's wet. Wake up stupid, please?
"Here, go inside and hold the door open." Turning, I saw Blue, standing and staring. Hair was wet, didn't take long. Raining hard. I stood there, watching Blue watch stupid. Trusted me, but not enough. Still scared, don't be. Not scary. Just broken and stupid. Can't hurt you, wont. Hurt enough people, wanna fix stupid mistakes.
"I. . . . . . . can't. . . . . . leave him." My Greed, I wont ever leave My Greed. Never again. Not with Blue, not Red. No one. Lost him once, not again. Stupid mistakes stop now. I pulled my hair from my face, wet stupid strings, and tried to make him understand. "My. . . . . . . . . .Greed. . . . . . . . Can't. . . . .leave him."
"I wont take him anywhere but inside, please. Just go inside and wait for me. It wont take long, I promise." Stare. Stare at stupid Blue, who shook in the rain, stupid eyebrows pinched over worried scared stupid blue eyes. Scared of stupid, don't be scared. Not bad.
"Can't. . . . . . . Sorry." He sighed, running stupid big hand over wet hair. Drops of water flew off his stupid blonde head. Red. Red wouldn't make me go in without helping. She'd want stupid's help. What's with Blue? Not like Red, not Red at all.
"Please. . .It's nothing against you or personally, so please." Stupid Blue. Anger, I felt it. Flaring up in stupid broken body, it was there. Wanted to take away my Greed. Can't. Can't have him, wont let stupid Blue. My Greed, mine. Can't have him. No one can. No, no, no.
"Please Rage. . . . .just go inside. . ." Turning, turning so fast body hurt. Greed, stupid sick Greed. His sad empty eyes were opening, slowly, but opening. Stupid, sleep! Don't talk, sleep and get rest. Like Red, so stupid can help you get better. I can, I will! Promise! I'll fix everything, it's all stupid's fault anyway.
"You heard him, just stand next to the door." Blue, hated Blue right now. Wanted to take My Greed away. Stupid man, can't have him. Wont let you. Mine.
"O-kay." Sigh, sad stupid sigh. The door kept the stupid falling rain away, and Blue pulled Greed out of the stupid moving car thing, holding him in his arms. Looked heavy, Greed looked stupid heavy.
Got Greed inside, safe here. Red's house was safe, stupid safe. Even though bad stuff happens. Good stuff can too. Stupid. The house was stupid pretty, and warm. Not like I remember, not good memory though. Bad stupid memory. Gotta get better. Need smarts.
Greed groaned, pain sounding. Didn't like this stupid side of Greed. Wanted old Greed, laugh Greed laugh. Please. Can't stand this, stupid can't do anything. Wanna help, can't. Touched Greed's shoulder, moan, don't like that sound. Stupid human sound, take it back. Take it back now!
"Let's go to Lacey's room. She wont mind if he stays there for awhile, I'm sure." I followed stupid Blue. Followed close behind. Don't hurt my Greed, can't. Wont let you, hurt you if you hurt him. I will. Promise. "Will you be fine if I leave you here tonight? I'm getting Lacey in the morning, and she'll be here as soon as possible."
Nod, all stupid can do. Nod, nod, nod. Blue gave shaky stupid smile. I tried to smile, twitch. Won't work now, still sad. Scared for Greed, and sad for Red. Greed laid down, on stupid soft looking bed. Moaned again, make stupid sounds stop! Stop, Stop, STOP!
"Fine. . . . . . .thank. . .you."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Greed not better.
Not better at all.
Get better Greed, please, for stupid me. Promise get better, talk fast like Red talks. Say smart things, big wide words. Promise stupid will get smarts, promise. Please, just get better. Took shaky cold hand, don't like this. I lifted it up, pressing stupid prefect hand against cheek. Wanted warm, wanted to feel stupid Greed's touch. Can't take this. Just can't. Heart hurt, can it hurt? Greed had said not really human. Never was, never will be. But heart can hurt, even if not human part, right? Hurt now, guess so. Wish stupid could ask Greed, but he was asleep still.
"Greed. . . . . . . . . Open. . . . . . Eyes." I whispered softly, putting stupid shaky hand in lap. My ugly broken hand looking so stupid on his. Stupid pretty Greed, please wake up. Please? Need you now, need you so bad.
Touched cheek, soft stupid cheek trembling. Small Greed, not used to seeing stupid Greed this way. Used to being small and scared, not him. Please Greed, open stupid eyes, stop stupid shaking. Don't like the shakes. Don't like the human sounds. Wet stuff, tears fall, fall, falling again. Please Greed, so scared. So scared and alone. Don't like Red's house quite, makes scary stupid sounds. Scared Big Brother Envy will come back, will take stupid away again.
"Rage. . .?" Greed's eyes, those stupid pretty eyes, slid open. Purple, see a faded stupid purple. Grab shaky hands, hold tight. Tight, tight, tight. "Rage. . . .it hurts. A lot."
"I. . . . . . . know." Whisper voice, gotta whisper so wont hurt stupid Greed. Hand tightened on stupid broken one, Greed hurt. Hurt bad. Go away stupid pain. Leave my Greed alone. "Greed. . . . .?"
"Rage, I'm so sorry. . . . I didn't mean to make you worry." Greed grunted. Holding in stupid scream. Scared, feel it in me, rise, rise, rising. Scream, sharp stupid scream. Hurt stupid ears, hurt bad. Greed clamped down on broken hand, and I made stupid yelp sound. Animal sound. Stupid made scary noises, made Greed stare, stare, stare.
"Be. . . . . . . .okay. . ." Please. Understand stupid Greed. Don't die, wont let you, can't. Not my Greed, my Greed is strong. Said you'd live forever, you said it. You lied again. Stupid lies. Hate stupid lies.
"Ha. . . .I will princess." Smile slow soft smile. Still in pain. Stupid pain. Wanna take it away. Far away. No more stupid pain. "You know what? Your not like all of us."
What? What did stupid Greed mean? I was too! Stupid pain make Greed say stupid stuff. I was normal. Just don't have any smarts. Need more smarts.
"What. . . ?" He smiled, stupid slow smile. I don't like this smile. Not Greed's smile. Stupid. Bring back real smile. Smile like used to.
"Your not like all of us. You don't eat the stones like we do, you don't need too. So. . . . I thought I wouldn't either. But. . .I guess that I was. . .gah! Wrong." Oh Greed, no more stupid talk. Gotta get better not worse. Greed threw stupid head back, the pillows squishing his stupid face. Pain, pain was everywhere. All around. In him. Greed! Stay still, hold on. Get Red! I'll go get Red!
Stood up, stood up fast, too fast. Nearly fell, but have to stay calm for Greed. Can't let him see stupid panic. No panic, panic no good. Run, run, running. Door, big door, go to open, but Red there. Staring in shock. Copy, but can't. Wont work now, too scared.
"Red!" My voice popped. Stupid animal sound made Red cringe, but then I saw the big thing behind her. Shiny metal man, stupid metal. AL!
"Rage!" Big stupid can hugged stupid broken me. Tight, squeezing with shiny metal arms. But can't hug now, Greed needs stupid. Gotta help Greed. Need Red.
"Help. . . . .me." I turned to Red, please understand stupid. Don't just stare, stare, stare. Need help! Greed hurt! Gotta do stuff, help fix stupid broken Greed! I started to push her towards the room, where stupid Greed lay twisted in pain. Pain, pain, pain, make it go away. But stupid Blue wouldn't let me. He grabbed arm, stupid broken arm, and turned stupid around fast. Too fast, nearly fell. But can't! Gotta help Greed!
"Rage, you need to calm down. Lacey is still hurt, you might hurt her if you rush her." Stupid Blue! Knew nothing, not friend! I took Blue's hand with stupid broken ugly one, and scratched skin with nails. Dig, dig, dig until he let go. He did, with yelp. Scared of ugly stupid me, scared. Should be right now. Don't stop me, Greed is hurt, dieing hurt. Don't touch my Greed.
"Gotta. . . . . Help. . . . . . Greed still. . . . . . .sick!" Sick sounded wrong. Stupid sick. Sounded scary, made Red jump, but she shuffled to Greed. Good. Help Greed, please. Help my sweet Greed out.
"What's wrong, is he hurt?" Red asked, stupid Red. I don't know. Can't say, wont understand. Greed is dieing. Help Greed. Help me help Greed. Stupid Red, please!
"Hurry!" I barked, but it sounded like an animal sound. Stupid broken voice. Fix it, fix it for Greed, sound sweet like Red. Gotta sound sweet. Maybe Greed will get better when stupid gets smarts. It's stupid's fault that Greed is sick.
"Okay, he's in my room? Jean! Why is he in my room?!" Blue, was Jean. Sorry Jean, didn't mean to get you in trouble. Stupid Blue. Should of known she wouldn't like it. Should of. But didn't. Walk, walk, walking into the room, stupid body wouldn't work. Greed was sitting up, pink stuff all over his face and in his stupid pretty hands. Run, run, running towards him, grab him, and look all over. Everywhere, it was everywhere. Stupid pink stuff, stop coming out. Look at him, what does stupid do? How can stupid fix this? Too broken, wont work.
"Oh no!" Al shouted, stupid can! Don't shout, scared now. Need Greed better. Get better Greed, I'll get more smarts. I will, I really will. Turned to him, he knows what to do. He can fix this, stupid can, fix this all. Grabbed his metal cold arm, shaking him, rattle noise.
"Fix. . . . . Him. . . . . Please! Fix. . . . . . . . My Greed!" I turned to my Greed, pointing at hands, stupid pink stuff all over. "Take away! Take. . . . . . . It. . . . . .away!"
"I can't do anything Rage. I don't know what to do to help you or him. I'm not a real alchemist. My brother is, but I'm useless." Stare, don't understand. Can't. Not smart enough, gotta get more smarts. Shook head, gotta fix him, just gotta fix him. Don't care about stupid words, got too, have too.
"Fix. . . . . . .him! Make. . . . . .him. . . . .fixed." Al shook his stupid metal head, no sorry. Don't look sorry, not like Red, or Blue. They all look sorry. No sorry, don't be. Stupid is fine, Greed is broken one, fix him, not stupid. Stupid fine, just need smarts. Will get smarts. Have too.
"PLEASE!" Shrill animal scream, stupid scream. Made everyone jump back, wont help. Can't. They say they can't. Can! They have too. Say you can stupid metal man, say it now! Gotta fix Greed, you have too. You just do. Grabbed Red, shook her arm, pleading but face wont work right. Wont look like it, just blank. Stupid dead face. "PLEASE!"
Blue grabbed me, throwing stupid broken body to the ground. Stupid Blue! Stupid Red and stupid, stupid, stupid metal can! Fix my Greed! Fix him! You have too! You just do! FIX NOW! FIX, FIX, FIX!
"I'm sorry Rage, but you are dangerous. All of your kind are. I can't let you hurt Lacey. Not again." Blue glared, stupid blue. Hate you, hate you all. Wont help me! What did I do? Was stupid too stupid? Was stupid not good enough? Don't deserve this, stupid doesn't deserve this, not Greed. Stupid's fault Greed is hurt, that Red is. All stupid's fault. Cry, cry, crying.
"Look what you did Jean! It's okay Rage. We'll try to do everything we can, I promise." Crying, don't believe you stupid Red. Don't. Wont. Stupid Blue made stupid me cry. Hate him. Hate him forever.
"Fix. . . . . . Him. . . . . . . Please." Stood up, took Red's pretty hand, and cried. Please help stupid. Stupid's not so bad. Can get better, will get better. Promise. "Please. . . . . . .Red. . . . . . . . Make me. . . . . . Smart."
"What?!" Pulled back, scared of stupid me. Should of gotten better by now, can't. Please Red, I need help. Stupid needs help bad. "Okay Rage. I'll help you."
Screech, like an animal that's been squished. Stupid animal. Throwing arms around Red's neck, hug tight, tight, tight. Red no hug back at first, but slow, slow, slowly, she did. Happy stupid me pulled away and smiled sad little smile.
"Thank. . . . . You!" Greed groaned then, stupid sick Greed, get better now. Run to side, grab pretty smooth hand in ugly broken ones and hold tight. Pink stuff everywhere. Red sighed, aggravated, stupid Red, sorry. Didn't mean to make mess. Stupid ugly me is just one big mess. Sorry. Fix that too. Get better, promise. Work hard, and get better.
"What do we need to do Al? I know we can't do much, but you at least know enough about them to maybe figure something. . .uh. . .temporary out?" What? Don't understand. Still can't fix my Greed? Don't get it, don't want too. Stupid can, fix my Greed, fix now! Have too! Before too late!
"I'm not sure Lacey. I wish Ed were here, he'd know what to do." Lift stupid pretty hand to mouth, kiss Greed's hand. Get better Greed, so sorry. Not smart enough, make Greed sick. Stupid made you sick. Fix that, Red will help. You'll see! Just like smile, I'll get better!
"You don't have to worry about it anymore, he's here." Red gasped, sharp hard. Al jumped, stupid can made funny noises, shaking metal noises. Blue turned and backed way, way, way back. Short boy walked forward, little man. Silly stupid little man. Stupid little man, made stupid laugh. Animal sound filled room, but little man just glared. Glare, glare, glare. Mean!
"What is that thing doing here?" Mean little man. Don't like you.
"She's a friend of mine, and she needs help." Red, sweet pretty Red. Gonna help make stupid have smarts. Gonna make stupid better.
But make Greed better first.
Little man here to help. . .right?
Please help. . .
Please.
