My Disease
Ch. 2
Just Checking Up On You
No POV
Ed slowly opened his eyes. He was met with a pair of ocean blue eyes. She quickly turned away trying to hide the blush that was over coming her cheeks. It seems she's been watching him the whole time. " What are you doing in my room?" Ed said slyly. " Just checking up on you, that's all. Sorry to disappoint you," she said laughing. " Shut up," he said stubbornly turning a small shade of pink. " Ohh, someones blushing," she said rubbing his cheeks. He moved his head and shouted, " Hey stop th--" ' Uh-oh, I'm feeling like I did that night. I can't put her at risk!' He was brought from his thoughts when he heard Winry speak. " Ed? Are you okay?" Ed didn't answer her and ran out of the room. " Edward!" She tried to follow him but was stopped by Al. " Hey Winry, um, Pinako wants to talk to you in her room," he said trying to keep her away from Ed. " Well tell her to wa--"
" No, no, Winry, I insist." He turned her around and pushed her all the way to Pinako's room.
He ran all the way to the side of the house where no one could see him. He continued to cough into his hand.
" Al! I don't see Granny in here!" Winry shouted angrily after looking around the room a few times. Al appeared in the doorway innocently. " Are you sure? Try looking a bit harder, I'm sure she's in there somewhere."
" If she were in here I would be able to see her, Al."
Once he felt he was finished he looked at the newly formed pool of blood in the palm of his hand. He could see the smiling faces of his use-to-be flesh and bone brother. Then he could see the smiling face of Winry. A tear rolled of his cheek. As the droplet fell into the liquid and the pictures in them began to ripple and fade away. " Damnit, why now?!" He squeezed his hand letting the blood go through his fingers trickling down his arm and falling to the ground. " Why do you have to hate me so much?!"
" Brother?" His eyes widened as he turned around, then they softened. " Are you okay?" His eyes were wide once again remembering the familiar words. " Winry. Ah man, I forgot!" He started to try and run into the house to explain his actions but Al grabbed his arm. " You're going to walk in like that?" He looked down at himself to see that some of his color seemed to be drained out of him and he saw the blood on his arm and hand. " You know, you're going to have to tell her sometime." Ed turned his head away from him. " No, that'll just make things more complicated than it already is. If I tell her she'll want me to stay, and I can't do that."
" You're going to stay if you tell her or not."
" I just can't. I still have to help you with your body. Plus, I don't want her to see me...slowly dying." Al flinched a bit from his comment even knowing that it was true.
Point Of View: Winry
He's hiding something from me. Again. I could tell Al was trying to cover it up with the whole 'Pinako' Story. Edward...what's going on with you? Please, I beg of you, tell me what you're trying to hide.
No POV
" Ed! Al! Come on into the kitchen, lunch is ready!" Hearing the familiar voice of the old lady they rushed inside. Ed washed his arm off from the nearby river. " Smells great, Pinako!" Ed yelled acting like nothing had happened. He quickly ran to the table and sat down nearly gobbling his tray all the way to the last bite. Winry slapped his hand lightly. He dropped his fork and rubbed his hand. " Ouch, what was that for?"
" Can you wait till we all sit down first?" He looked around noticing everyone was still standing. He laughed nervously and wiped his mouth, " Ready when you are." Pinako looked at his face, " Edward, why do you look so pale?"
" Oh, that, well, you know." Winry and Pinako shook their heads. Ed hit Al's armor slightly with his right elbow. He took this as a cue to make up some excuse for his brother. " Well, um, he-- Well who wants dessert?!" He said getting out from his seat. Everyone just shrugged their shoulders and forgot the previous subject.
Fullmetal59: Well there it is! I know that my update schedule is booked but i'll make you guys a deal (VITBOMH: Oh great, that deal again...) Shut up, not that deal! Ok, here's the real deal, if I get at least 5 reviews I'll update sooner than Friday! See, it wasn't the same deal. (VITBOMH: You're right, it's worse than the last. You're really losing your touch aren't you?) Don't you have anything better to do than tease me? (VITBOMH: No it's so empty in here there's nothing to do.) Ok that's it! ( Don't mind us. Just press that button please?!)
