Chapter 11

"Tomorrow?" Edward asked, his dull eye's lighting up a fraction.

The Nurse, who was taking off his leg brace having already taken his wrist and left ankle cast off day ago, looked up at the alchemist smiling. It was the first time she had heard him speak to anyone apart from Roy. It was good, even if it was only one word.

"Yea, if the tests come back all clear, you will be going home tomorrow" with a final tug the brace came off.

She inspected his leg as best she could with out touching him know that it would make him uncomfortable.

"It seems you heal rather quickly, your fingers are completely fine." She said looking at his chart, " Don't use your leg to much for a couple of days to get used to walking again," she looked down that the chart again "and it seems you can walk okay on your left ankle but be careful on it, you'll have to come back at some point so we can make sure your doing well with your recovery, okay?" She finished, picking up the brace as Ed nodded giving him a wink as she left the room.

Roy, who had been sitting in the corner, looked over to Ed as he began to speak, "My dorm? Is it still free?" He asked quietly.

Roy thought for a moment, Ed's dorm…would have been converted to a make shift ward for the wounded like during Ishbal, his things put into storage until he came back.

"I don't think it will be" He replied " but I was thinking maybe you could stay with me at my house, beside I don't think you should be on you own right now" He said,

"Because of your legs! We don't want to fall and hurt yourself do we? Not that you have that far to fall anyway" He said the last bit absentmindedly not knowing he had said it till it was said.

He watched Edward as his mind processed what he had said. A vain twitched in his temple as he clenched his jaw in anger, but then he sighed and began " I suppose I don't have any option, I'll go to yours" he said and crossed his arms.

Roy smiled inside. Edward was coming home with him! Though he wish it was under different circumstances but, still it made his whole day better knowing he would have Ed near him all time…he never wanted to let go of him again not after what happened the last time he had let the blonde go. He shuddered at the memory as Ed broke his line thought.

"What about my stuff?" Edward asked looking at Roy with his painfully beautiful haunted golden eyes.

Oh yes, Roy thought "Let me go make a phone call and hopefully your things will be at mine when we get there" with that he got up and walked to the door as Edward replied with a simple "m'kay".

He walked to the receptionist and turned on the charm to let him use the phone, which he got and dialled in a number. The phone ran three times before someone picked up and it was just the person "Riza" he said, "I need a favour…"

Edward stared once again out on the window from his hospital bed. Roy had been gone for 15minutes.

Edward sighed and laid down in the lumpy bed, he was tried physically and emotionally. He just didn't feel anything anymore…apart from that thing with Roy, which he just didn't understand. He wondered how Roy could bear to look at him, knowing how dirty and tainted he had become. He was no stranger to sin but, what they had used him for was…disgusting. Forcing him to do things. Ed just wanted to forget but he couldn't every time he closed his eyes their faces would pop up.

He rolled over onto his side blinking tears out of his eyes as yet another face popped into his mind.

XOX

When Roy returned an hour and a half later he found Ed asleep.

Smiling he put his jacket over the young man and gently stroked a golden bang out of his face, watching him peacefully.
