Boredom
Roy's POV
After he was done with the doctor, he put the scowl off, and put a nice warm smile for his poor broken Ed.
"Edward, is there anything you need?" Roy asked in a little to loving of a voice, in fact it was so loving, even Roy heard a hint of annoyance in his voice. Of course, he wasn't annoyed at Ed. No, he was annoyed at the situation they were stuck in.
" No, I'm just fine, thank you…" Edward responded nervously, probably getting the hint, that right now, was not the time to make Roy go get something unneeded.
"Okay, but, I am going to the bathroom, you sure you don't need anything?" Roy said.
"Yeah… yeah I am most certainly sure." Ed said.
Roy noticed something, something had changed in Edwards expression when he said that.
"Ed, you okay?" Roy said looking deep into Ed's eyes.
"Yeah? I guess I'm as okay as I can be in this situation, why?" Ed asked.
"Nothing, you just seemed, stressed." Roy partially lied. Ed, of course really did looked stressed, but that wasn't what Roy meant.
"Are you not stressed? Who wouldn't looked stressed in the same situation we're in?" Ed asked with a very sad and lonely smile.
"Okay, then I'll just be a bit, if anything happens, make sure I am there before you do anything." Roy said in a stern voice.
"Yes sir." Ed jokingly said with a very humorous salute.
Roy laughed and walked away out the door, for much needed relief.
Ed's POV
After Roy left, Ed felt his heart drop. He was alone yet again, with nothing to occupy him. He knew Roy would be back. But, he missed Al, he missed his house, he missed the colonel office, he missed the sofa in the office, and most of all, he missed freedom. He had his freedom taken away, of course, he had been in the hospital before, but, this time, he might stay for years on end.
As Ed thought this, he started to silently cry. No one for him to lean on, no one's shoulder for him to cry on, and no one to tell him that it was going to be okay, which he knew everything was most certainly not going to be okay, but, he needed that right now.
"Oh Al, why are you not here with me? They must have told you about me, right? Do you just not care?" He said to himself. He couldn't help but cry even harder and a lot less silent.
In the middle of his crying, he noticed the door open, with a seemingly less stressed Roy coming through, but when he saw Ed crying to himself, he rushed to his side.
"Ed, are you okay? Did they say something?" Roy hurried, but Ed just frantically shook his head. "Then, what happened?" Roy asked getting more and more concerned. "Come here." Roy said as he pulled Ed in for a hug. Ed hung on to the tall and warm figure like his life depended on holding on as long as he could.
"R-Roy?" Ed cried
"Yes, Ed?" Roy replied
"Will Al come…. Will you come back tomorrow? Will I be left alone?" Ed said crying even harder into Roy's chest.
"What? Of course he will come, why would I not come back, and why would you be alone?" The only response Ed gave was a solemn nod.
Ed couldn't bring himself to say what he was really feeling. No, he couldn't tell anyone yet. He didn't have the breath right now to do so anyway. So, he just took the chance to cry his eyes out while he could. He didn't want to cry in front of his baby brother.
And with that thought, Ed was asleep.
Roy's POV
When Roy heard Ed's sobs stop, and felt a loosened grip on his shirt, Roy put Ed down for some much needed rest.
Roy just couldn't understand why Ed would think Al wouldn't come, that Roy would leave today and not come back, and most of all, why would he think he was going to be alone… the thought that Ed even considered that, it broke his heart. Didn't Ed trust him? Didn't he trust Al?
Roy kept pondering these things as he looked at the small figure in front of him. He looks so peaceful, Roy thought. Maybe it was just the stress getting to Ed, Roy thought. It wasn't like it couldn't happen, even he himself, had done and said a lot of dumb things over stress.
Roy decided to go get something for he and Edward to eat, but before he did, he leaned over Ed, said, "No one will leave you, I'll be back." and he kissed him on the forehead and left to go get something to eat, hoping Ed wouldn't wake up before he got back.
Ed's POV
Ed awoke, barely knowing that he even fell asleep.
He rolled over, and Roy was gone. He was left alone, he couldn't see or hear anything around him, he was in shock.
Roy had lied too him. He was alone. Ed started to break into cold sweat. He was having a panic attack.
"Roy, Roy, Roy, Roy," Ed was rocking himself back and forth.
Roy walked in, and the food he was holding hit the floor, as he ran to Ed.
Roy's POV
"Ed! Ed!" Ed gave no response, just started to mumble things Roy could not, for the life of him make out.
Roy didn't understand what had happened to him while he was gone. What could have changed so dramatically?
Then, it hit him, it him like a school bus with jets. Ed had woken up, when Roy wasn't there. Crap! Roy thought to himself. Why did he leave? Why did he not wake up Ed and tell him he was going to be right back? Great, look at what you've caused you idiot of a man Roy thought to himself.
"Doctor!" Roy called.
Roy was then, kicked out for the rest of the night, as it was so close to closing time.
