Thanks for the reviews and comments :) Glad to know its going good so far. Here's the second part of what I had written in my notebook ,edited and revised of course. I know this one is a bit short too, but I didn't have much time on my hands last few days. Reviews and comments are always welcome and appreciated!
Goal is to have some romance-ish stuff in the next chapter. Well, anyways, enjoy.
I do not own FMA or any of the characters.
"Edward! What happened to you?" he demanded dropping down on his knees by the boy. Ed could clearly see the worried expression he was trying so hard to hide. Leaning over him, Roy grabbed Ed's hands. "Your hands are ice cold Fullmetal! Let's get you inside quick." As Roy started to pull him up, Edward let out a painful scream causing Roy to jump, accidentally jerking him to his feet. Ed let out another scream and tears filled his eyes. "Fullmetal, I'm sorry. Hold on tight to me," Roy demanded softly, trying to remain calm. He quickly flipped Ed into his arms, holding him bridal style, as another screamed escaped Ed's mouth. "I'll get you inside as carefully as I can. Just bear with it." Mustang grumbled and cursed at himself for putting the young alchemist through more pain. With every step he took, Ed groaned and twitched in his arms; mud and water dripped all over the living room carpet as he walked up the steps in the house.
"Can you stand at all?" Roy asked, leaning against the bathroom door frame. Ed just shook his head no and buried his face in Roy's neck. Roy sighed slightly and grabbed the shower curtain. "I'm going to sit on the side of the tub for a minute. Is that ok?" Roy asked placing a hand on Ed's back. His head nodded against Mustangs neck again. Ed could feel Roy's abs tense as he lowered himself onto the edge of the tub. He reached over and turned on the water.
"You… wet" Ed mumbled, still trying to catch his breath.
"I know. It's okay," Roy said, feeling a soft smile come across his face as he glanced down at the little boy all curled up in his lap. "The water should be ok to get in now, you should hurry and get cleaned up. Get all this mud off." Ed griped onto Roy's shirt tightly. "What's wrong?" Roy questioned, pulling the little alchemist away from him carefully. Edward's cheeks lit up bright red when he made eye contact with those dark, soul piercing eyes.
"I… can't…" Ed whispered. Roy cocked his head off to the side, much like a dog does when one talks to it.
"Do… you … um… need my help?" Roy asked, his voice shaking with every word. Edward buried his face into Roy's neck again and nodded. Roy's face burned hot as Edward's hot breathe danced across the skin on his neck. "Okay, I'll help you." Roy's soothing voice seemed to be calming Ed down. He was no longer gasping for air or shaking in his arms. Roy stretched his arm out and pulled Ed's only sock off, revealing the dirty flesh beneath it. Ed moved his toes for a second and Roy felt himself smirk again. Chunks of drying mud were stuck all over in his auto mail up to where Ed's pants met his ankles. "I'm going to take your pants off ok?"
"Just don't look ok?" Ed mumbled.
"Don't worry… I don't check little kid's junk out" Roy grumbled.
"Don't call me little!" Ed managed to somewhat yell. A chuckle vibrated through Roy's chest. Roy slowly slid his right hand up Ed's leg and to the top of his pants, gulping quietly as he began to pull them off his hips.
"I need to move you to pull these off," Roy stated, carefully lifting Ed off his lap. Ed took a deep breath as pain spread throughout his body again. Roy laid Edward carefully on the bathroom floor.
"Roy" he moaned. Roy's faced flushed again. Edward's voice made his heart flutter. "…hurts" he winced.
"Please just hang on for a minute." Roy slide his finger under Ed's pants a slowly pulled them down slowly. Edward was missing his boxers as well. He noticed a strip of red that ran down Ed's leg starting from his upper thigh. "Is that blood?" he asked wide eyed. Roy's hand shook as he tried to remain calm. Roy glanced back up to meet Ed's teary eyed gaze. "Ed-ward… w-what happened?" Roy stuttered as he finally pulled his pants over his ankles. The poor boy was covered in bruises from his head to his feet. Roy gripped the torn up pants tightly as he could feel the rage within him rising. Edward could contain the tears anymore and broke down. Tears poured down his face over his hot cheeks as he screamed over the memories of the last few days. Roy picked the boy up and placed him on his lap. Dried blood was in random spot on his body. While rubbing the young alchemists back, he demanded, "Edward, what happened?"
Well, that was that. Hopefully I'm able to keep you guys interested enough to wait for the next chapter. I will try and have it done within the next few days. Review and let me know what ya'll are thinking so far :)
