Hospital
Roy's POV
Roy's work was finally finished, and he wanted to wake the sleeping alchemist on his couch. He really seemed comfortable, but a little worrying because he hadn't moved since he started to sleep. He thought it would be best to wake him, but decided he must have had a hard day and needed some rest. And with that, he thought nothing more of the matter.
Since he was done, he wanted to go home. Normally if Ed slept a little late on the couch and Roy was leaving, Roy would leave a note saying where the key was and asking Ed to lock up if he woke up after he left. But, Roy was nervous about leaving the sick alchemist alone, if something were to happen, no one would be there and it could turn out horrible.
Roy finally decided to go get some coffee, as he was terribly fatigued and wanted to sleep.
He made one quick look at the sleeping figure on his couch and walked away.
As he walked through the hallway, he ran into his assistant Hawkeye.
"Roy, have you finished your work?" she said as she put her hand on her gun holster.
"Yes, I am going to go get coffee. You will find all the documents on my desk, also, do you have any idea how that rebellion is doing?" Roy spattered quickly.
"Sir, rebellion is getting a bit out of hand, they're even talking about sending some military from the south. If so happens, they might take the north too." Hawkeye said very seriously.
"Thank You." Roy said and walked off to get his long desired coffee.
He walked down multiple different hallways to get to the mess hall. He talked to different officers along the way and asked about the rebellion all the same. Every answer he got was the same, "they're sending the north soon." or, "they might send the north soon." This did not mean good news for him, and his sick alchemist.
He got his favorite mocha cappuccino with extra cream and started his walk back to his office where a sleeping alchemist lay dormant.
He opened the door to his office, looked at the sleeping figure, and then started to walk for his desk.
As he got to his desk, he sat down, and looked at his watch, it was already 11:13 pm.
He drank his coffee, then he decided it was time to wake the sleeping alchemist.
He got up, and walked towards Ed.
"Ed, hey Ed." He didn't even move.
"FULLMETAL WAKE UP NOW." Roy yelled in a calmed but loud voice. Again, Edward didn't move.
No matter how he yelled and shook hi, he got no response.
Roy panicked, and called 911.
Ed's POV
Ahhh, his head hurt and he could feel something on his face. How he felt this so much and was starting to get sick of it. He could tell the room was bright. He didn't want to open his eyes in case it wasn't what he thought, or maybe because it might have been what he thought.
WAIT Ed thought to himself. AM I DEAD?!
Wait, no that isn't possible, let's see, he was in mustang's office, and then he fell asleep… was he really dead?
He pondered yet again in unconsciousness.
He decided there was only one way to find out, open his eyes to behold what was in front of him.
Roy's POV
He had been with Ed at the hospital for about 8 hours now. He had seen no movement in his condition, so he decided to go to sleep.
By the time he had woken up, it had been 12 hours since he walked in the hospital with a seemingly dead Edward Elric in his arms. But, something didn't make sense. What had woken him up?
When he lifted his head, and opened his eyes, he saw a confused and disoriented Ed staring at the ceiling.
"Ed, are you awake?" Roy asked cautiously.
"yeahh-think so…" Was Edward's response.
"Are you in pain anywhere?" Roy asked in a worried tone.
"Head…stomach…..automail… thasit." Ed said tiredly.
"Nurse!" Roy called. Since he did not get a fast enough response, he decided too go take a walk to find a damn nurse that will actually do the job right.
He walked around for awhile and then finally saw the nurse he was looking for.
"excuse me ma'am," Roy said irritated.
"Yes, sir, how may I help you?" the kind and beautiful nurse said.
"The patient in room #132 is in pain, can you please help?" Roy said trying to be charming maybe to get a discount on the hospital bills.
"Yes, sir, right away." And with that, the nurse was off running in the direction of room 132.
He was going to go with her, but thought that he should go home, change, then come back in the later hours. And that's what he did.
Ed's POV
He has been staring at the ceiling for awhile now, he faintly remembered Roy being there a moment ago…. Let's see, he said something before he left…. Now Ed remembered, he went to go get a nurse. How absolutely loved trying o figure out what type of nurse came in. It was his favorite game when he was at the hospital, as he usually was.
A few moments later, a nurse came bursting through the door.
" , I have pain meds for you, please sit up." the kind nurse said.
'uggghhh' Edward thought. 'I hate nurses like this, the always happy to help type'
Ed sat up, and the nurse gave him the pain meds.
"Will that be all Mr. Elric?" the nurse asked.
"Yes thank you." Edward responded trying not to be rude.
Then he realized, how long has he been out? Has Alphonse been contacted? Was Alphonse okay? He NEEDED to know if his baby brother was okay.
"Wait, ma'am, has my brother Alphonse Elric been contacted yet?" Ed asked.
"uhh, I am terribly sorry, but I don't know. Would you like me to ask?
"If you don't mind." Ed said with a smile.
"Okay, I will be back shortly." and with that, the nurse exited.
Nurse's POV
She walked up to the ffront desk and asked the lady at the desk," Excuse me, has Alphonse Elric been contacted in regard to his elder brother, Edward Elric in room 132?"
The lady at the desk responded,"132...Edward Elric, uhm yes, he was contacted about 10 minutes ago at request of Roy Mustang, an acquaintance of Edward Elric."
"Okay, thank you." the nurse said, then headed back to tell patient 132.
Roy's POV
He got home, took off his shoes, and then headed for the shower.
The warm water running down his back felt wonderful after sleeping in a hospital chair for 4 hours.
'I wonder how Ed's doing, did he get the meds Roy asked for?' Roy thought. 'Does he need me right now?' no, no, no, Roy thought. "I should get out of the shower, it's starting to get to my head." Roy said aloud.
He got out of the shower, then he went to make dinner, after eating dinner he watched TV, after TV, he got in his car and headed for the hospital.
Ed's POV
The nurse burst through the door like she had the first time.
"Alphonse Elric was contacted by the front desk from request of Roy Mustang." The nurse said.
"Thank you." Ed responded.
"Anything else?" the nurse asked.
"yes one more thing, When can I leave?" Ed asked.
"That has not been decided sir, will that be all?"
"yes, thank you." and the nurse was off.
Ed sat there for a while in relief as he was terrified Al was worried or something had happened to him.
Strangely, the nurse came in a while later maybe, 10 minutes later.
" , it has been said you can be released tomorrow, but we need your guardian to take you home and we need you to be taken care of by a guardian." the nurse said in a rush.
"What about my brother, Alphonse?" Ed asked.
"I am sorry but it has to be a legal guardian over the age of 21." the nurse said seemingly more irritated.
" Okay, thank you." Ed said with a sigh. And again, the nurse was off to take care of someone else.
Roy's POV
He was in front of the hospital, and he got out of his car and walked towards the front entrance.
He signed in and went to room 132.
He walked in with Ed in a thoughtful state.
"Fullmetal?" Roy said cautiously. "WHAT!" Ed yelled. "Roy, oh god, sorry, I thought it was someone else." Ed corrected. "Who pissed you off enough to want to outburst like that?" Roy asked. "Nurse." Ed said simply. "I see." Roy meekly replied.
"do you know when you can get out?" Roy asked sitting next to Ed. "Yeah, tomorrow, if you let me live with you for awhile and if you sign me out tomorrow." Ed said prissily.
"Me?" Roy asked dumbfounded "Why me? Can't Alphonse sign you out tomorrow, like he always does?" Roy asked trying to get out of it.
Then a nurse Roy recognized walked in.
" Is Roy Mustang the one who will sign you tomorrow?" the nurse asked uninterested.
"No." Ed said simply.
"well then you will need to stay here for as long as it takes until you either get a guardian to sign, or until your sickness has passed." the nurse said.
"And how long would that be" Ed asked.
"Up to, years with what you've got." the nurse said. Roy glanced over at Ed, his face dropped, he looked totally defeated.
"I'll sign him out tomorrow." Roy said suddenly.
"Thank you sir." and the beautiful nurse left just as quickly as she had come.
Edward stared at Roy, completely dumbfounded.
"You're taking me with you?" Ed asked still in surprise.
"Yes, Edward you are officially coming home with me tomorrow.
