Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, nor do I own Disgaea, which I am currently playing and listening to its sound track at the same time as typing this... Yes I multi task…AWSOME GAME THOUGH!!
Exhausted a man slumped on his desk over his work. In deep sleep he spoke quietly allowed.
"Would you…Riza..?"
He sighed in his sleep as if he was sighing in his dream. A woman watched him from a doorway. She walked in after a while from watching him and smiled softly at the man before her.
"Roy?" she said allowed and quietly to him.
As if on queue he woke up instantly fumbling with his papers that flew everywhere. He looked at the woman and she looked at him in return before bursting out laughing at each others surprise.
"Uh… hey Riza..." he said embarrassed and scratched the back of his neck nervously. Roy smiled as he took hold of himself and began to bend down and gather the papers from the floor. Riza watched him in silence. After Roy had finished placing the papers in a neat stack on his desk he turned to up right the chair that had turned over and sat.
"May I help you Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye?" he said finally addressing her formally. He should have known from the start to remember his position as colonel.
"How about a walk?" she suggested causally.
Roy visibly relaxed and smiled tiredly up at her.
"Sure…" he said quietly relived that this, he knew, was not going to be a discussion about business but in fact a break from work.
The two walked outside into the brisk cool evening. The courtyard that walked in was quiet. The moon that showed over the top of the headquarters building lit the entire courtyard up making it clear as day. Everything was seen around them and everything shinned with the moons silver light.
"It's beautiful out tonight…" Riza whispered unaware that she said the words aloud. Roy faced her with a smile that she least expected.
"Not as beautiful as you are."
The words he spoke startled her as her gaze shifted to him. She smiled silently to herself quite flattered. With that Roy put his arm over her shoulder, which he was surprised that she accepted the gesture, and continued there evening walk.
Edward burst through the emergency door, his eyes wide with panic and pain. He ran to the receptionist's desk holding Winry in his grasp. Blood dripped freely onto the floor below.
"Help!! I need help!! PLEASE!!" he spoke allowed in desperation. "Anyone?!?!"
He looked around. Everyone who sat in the waiting room area stared at him. There eyes were wide and mouths slack jawed in shock. The receptionist was the first one to snap from her trance. She picked up the receiver to a phone and spoke over the intercom urgently.
Edward barely understood what she said as he held tightly to the unconscious Winry in his arms. It dawned on him that someone actually called for help when a large mob of doctors gathered around him. They demanded he put Winry on a stretcher but refused; he was unsure of why though. So full of shock he reluctantly let the doctors pry her from his arms. They placed her on the stretcher and than rolled her away quickly through the emergency doors.
Edward tried to follow but two doctors held him back. Screaming he struggled to get away. Some people present in the emergency room seemed to get up and move at his disturbance. One person waiting to be treated stood u and ran to the bathroom at watching the dried blood on Edward's cloths crack and fall to the floor in flakes and powder.
As he violently resisted he didn't even notice the aching of his broken arm until it sounded out with a sickening crack from pushing against one of the men. He fell foreword to the floor with silence as he fainted from the shock of pain that crawled into his body. He didn't even get the chance to cry out in pain. The doctors who had been holding him back sighed. All of them had encountered patients such as this boy and were not about to let him loose in the waiting room just yet, especially if he was injured. One of the woman doctors called for a nurse to assist her in placing him on a stretcher and wheeling him where he would be properly treated. The nurse was annoyed by the doctor's decision, but he reluctantly wheeled Edward to the immediate care ward where his arm would be splinted for now.
Edward woke up with a splitting headache and a throbbing in his left arm; his human arm. Lolling his head, he opened his eyes to see the white tiled floor below him. That was when everything came back to him and he stood quickly. He looked around him alarmed and saw that he was in a waiting room. With panic he walked towards the window where a different receptionist than he remembered sat. He stumbled forward dizzy from the lack of blood to his head. He leaned against the window.
The receptionist looked at him alarmed than sighed giving him an almost glare of annoyance. She pointed to a sign posted in the window and picked the receiver up of a ringing phone. Edward's eyes traveled to the sign. It read 'Visiting Hours Over'. His heart sunk at the sign and he slowly walked over and resumed his seat in the chair he had awoken in. He glanced at his arm that hung in a sleeve not believing what he saw. He continued to stare at it in a zombish trance like state.
Hours seemed to pass by. He was wide awake although he felt tired and his eyes burned signifying that they were tired, or it could have just been from silent tears that enveloped in his eyes. He lifted his head only to see a familiar face before him.
Doctor Thomas had walked briskly through the door towards the receptionist desk. He froze in mid step upon seeing Edward and than he frowned. He looked at the folders he held in his hand before looking at Edward. He seemed somewhat troubled after he had read the folders.
Ed watched him trying to determine his thoughts. It did not work like he had expected it to though. Doctor Thomas continued his way towards the receptionist desk window and handed her folders through it. With that he spoke quietly to her; Ed didn't understand a word. He only heard a loud protest from her and found himself beckoned to follow Doctor Thomas. Things happened so fast that he did not even have the time to blink; he almost thought that there wasn't even time to breath. Finally he was out in the main hallway and away from the many waiting rooms that resided in each ward.
After a moment of realization he followed eagerly asking questions on the way.
"Will Winry be alright? Is she?" his voice gave away the fear that resided inside him.
Doctor Thomas did not answer. His head seemed to hang low at the mention of such questions. Ed did not notice, instead he began to notice that the area around him was forming into intensive care units. They kept walking and Edward fell silent. He shook and became nervous thinking that she was in some other room besides these he could feel the death in the atmosphere as his pace slowed. So did Doctor Thomas's and soon enough they stood before her room. Ed's heart sank.
Doctor Thomas fumbled with his keys until he found the correct one. He put it in the door knob and opened the door only to jump back at a racing in Edward. He watched him run in and race all the way to the bed in the room. He sighed knowing that the anguish or pain would come for the boy, and he quietly shut the door.
