A/N: I DO NOT LIKE FINALS. I DO NOT LIKE DEAD WEEK. SOMEONE KILL ME NOW. On the bright side, if I am still alive after next week, I have almost a month off for Christmas, so there is a good chance I might actually get a little bit of writing done. We'll see, ne? In the meantime, have uber-romantic RoyEd cuteness. Also, I don't know what's wrong with Ed - assume it's something non-terminal, like he got messed-up on a mission or something. He'll be fine.

Drown
The doctors who came to look for a few seconds at the boy lying pale and bandaged in the hospital bed saw the officer sitting beside him and shook their heads in disapproval. They saw how stiffly he sat, as if this vigil were an unpleasant task he'd been ordered to perform. They saw him shouting furiously when the young man woke up, exhorting him for being stupid and reckless, threatening him with court-martial.
They didn't see that the entire time, he clenched the young man's hand as tightly as if he thought he would drown if he let go.
A/N: reviews are appreciated
