A/N: Well Chapter 106 was unexpected let me just say. This is a spoiler chapter so just stopped reading now if you didn't read chapter 106.

028. Pains And Wounds
"I'm sorry...for me to be useless at such a critical moment...I'm ashamed!" Oh God. He felt so weak. If only Hawkeye could see him now. He really felt deserving of one of her lectures on how he has been reckless and that he was completely useless. He really wasn't aware of the world around him. He heard Ed and Al and Izumi all speaking, but he just wished he could see them. He felt himself rising, being held onto by Izumi the whole time.
"Are you injured sir?"
"Take care of the Colonel. No time to cuddle," There were so many voices and at this point he really wasn't sure who was supporting him.
"They've got my eyes," After the words can out of his mouth, he realized that sounded stupid. It was just a blank statement to make, "Lieutenant," He said, after he felt her touch him. He knew it was her because her grip was just slightly lighter than anyone else and despite how clique it sounded, he just knew.
"Not again, you need to worry about yourself! Your eyes--" Of course she would say that. Of course. He really didn't care what condition he was in, as long as she was okay. That's all that really mattered at the moment. Besides, you always protected your weak spot.
"Lieutenant, how badly were you hurt?" She didn't respond and he was glad that she hadn't. He didn't really want to know how much damage he had caused her," Can you still fight?" Another statement he regretted saying, but they needed to win this. The whole country was relying on them.
"Yes, sir!" He would have smiled if he hadn't felt so weak. Thank goodness she was loyal.
A/N: I still just cannot fathom why they are together yet. Personally, I think that he is planning on having her help him direct himself where to fire.
