Chapter 7 is now a go ^-^ Enjoy

~Eve

Smiling, Roy chuckle lowly in his throat, shuddering at the kiss before slowly falling asleep.

'If only this relationship would last... if anyone found out about us apart from Al, I fear the worst for poor Ed..' Roy thought to himself as he fell asleep.

Ed slightly sat up, he was feeling odd and he didn't know what to do. He got completely dressed, remembering the little fooling around he had with Roy about an hour ago. He then suddenly felt like he was going to puke and silently ran to the bathroom. Ed shut the door behind him and vomited nothing but blood into the toilet and swayed slightly.

'That beating that Envy gave me is catching up with me..' Ed thought as his throat burned. He leaned against the bathtub and panted. He wasn't use to feeling this sick, and it was only blood that was coming up. Ed tried to stand up but failed in doing so and just passed out on the floor.

Roy awoke to just him in the bed, which slightly confused him. Raising a brow he looked over his shoulder to Alphonse to see if Ed had gotten back into the bed with his brother, but it was just Al's body in there. Sitting up Roy noticed the bathroom door was shut he must be in the bathroom... he thought. Knowing he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep again tonight he decided to get up and get dressed before looking back at the bathroom door.

'He's been in there a long time now..' Roy thought worryingly, walking over to the door before knocking.

''Ed... are you alright? Ed?'' he asked before opening the door, before seeing Ed on the floor. Instantly he went over to him picking him up bridal style before yelling to Al. ''Al, where's the nearest hospital?!'''

Al slightly shot up from hearing Roy's voice.

"I-its about a few streets from here.. Why do you need.." Al trailed off as he saw his brothers unconscious body in Roy's arms.

"What happened?!" he asked slightly panicked, he noticed the slight blood that was at the corners of Ed's mouth and started to panic even more.

"R-roy did you notice the blood..? What happened back there when he found him..?" Al asked again. He was worried that something entirely bad is going to happen to his brother, and the look on Roy's face read something like slight terror.

Roy was shaking slightly from sadness, as he looked over at Al.

''Thanks, and there's no time to explain, we just need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible... and i did see the blood yes... but the more time we waste talking the less time we have to get him to the hospital...'' Roy said before kicking the door open, trying to get Edward to the hospital As soon as he possibly could. He ran out of the hotel and down the street. And although Ed's body was heavy from both the automail and his flesh body, he still kept running even though he became tired. As soon as he got to the hospital he burst through the doors, yelling.

''Somebody! We have an emergency here!'' he yelled and soon many doctors, nurses and surgeon's came running over to him and Ed. Roy was in tears, seeing his love being hurt like he was and seeing him having to be pulled about to get him awake later was terrible.

Al quickly changed and tried to hurry to the hospital to where Roy had taken Ed moments before. He was still sleepy so his body was moving slowly than it should. He ran to where the hospital was found and looked all over inside to see where Roy was.

"Colonel?" Al asked slightly, still looking around. He then slightly caught a glimpse of blue that was Roy's uniform and followed it. As Al rounded the corner he then realized that it wasn't Roy that he had followed, but it was Envy disguised as Roy but Al hadn't noticed it yet.

"Colonel why are you all the way over here? I thought-" He was cut off when Envy changed back into his normal self and placed a cloth over Al's mouth and nose.

'This stuff smells sickly sweet...' Al thought just before he passed out.

"We need you to get to him, other pipsqueak. Heheh." Envy laughed and took Al away with no one noticing.

Roy sat in the waiting area in tears, it was hard to keep them in. The minutes seemed to pass slower than usual, as if telling Roy to remember all the moments he and Ed had together, the times the yelled at each other, the punch to the nose, the stitches then the kiss, their first kiss together, their first time, then last night, they all flooded his mind at once like a tsunami, the waves of thoughts blocking out everything around him, and the excess water leaked from his eyes.

''Colonel, Colonel...'' Roy was snapped out of thought as someone called him. He looked up at a man dressed in something like a lab coat - he was obviously a doctor.

''Its Ed..'' The doctor exclaimed. 'Its bad news, isn't it...' Roy thought, getting ready to hear the words.

''He's okay, we managed to figure out what was wrong with him, in fact he is in one of the wings to wake up.'' With that, Roy blinked almost unbelieving but then a smile crept onto his face.

''H-he's okay.'' he said, happily.

''Yes, is he your son?'' the doctor asked. With that, Roy realized the age difference between them, it made him feel, old, but all he cared about right now was Ed was alright.

''No, he's a friend.. A really good friend..'' Roy explained, as the doctor lead him to the bed he was at.

When Roy got there, he thought he would see Al, and when he didn't it hit him.

'Hmm...Where could Alphonse be..? I'm sure he would be here by now... wait... no if he was alright he would be here... something has definitely happened to him..' he thought, worryingly.

Ed was breathing normally now but kept his eyes shut. He knew that his surroundings were different by the smell of cleaning products that hung in the air. Ed slightly groaned and opened his eyes. He started to sit up but felt a slight pain shoot up his spine that made him lay back down.

"Wh-where am I..?" Ed asked then took note of the IV that was in his arm.

"Never mind.. I know where I am.." He said in a low growl mostly to himself. Ed hated being in the hospital but he didn't really remember why he was in it this time.

"What happened to me? I don't remember much from last night the only thing I remember is.." Ed paused, blushing slightly at what he remembered. He leaned back into the pillows and sighed, he looked over and finally noticing Roy. Ed grinned slightly,

"You don't have to cry, Mustang.. It will take a lot more than whatever it was that put me here to take me out.." Ed said slightly. He really did appreciate the thought of Roy being here. If it wasn't for the presence of Roy that was next to him, he would have checked himself out by now.

"Where's Al?" Ed asked as he looked around, searching for his brother.

"This isn't like him, he is usually here if I was put into the hospital.." he said, thinking of things that could have happened.

Envy reported back to Lust with Al over his shoulders.

"What are we going to do to this twerp? I know we won't be keeping him forever, just until that Fullmetal pipsqueak comes to get him." He said to Lust.

"Did you give the nurse the letter so that she could give it to him?" Lust asked, she was sitting on a windowsill looking out towards the city.

"Yes I have, I'm not some stupid ten-year old that needs a babysitter.." Envy said slightly agitated that Lust would even ask that.

"I told the nurse to give it to pipsqueak as soon as he woke up. Which should be soon." Envy said with a smile. Envy dropped Al's onto the floor in the corner. Al was also chained up the same way Ed was, but he was of little importance to them. The homunculi's real target was Edward Elric and they were planning on all means necessary to get him.

"Envy, you need to be more careful with Edward.. Father is not pleased that it was you who had put him into the hospital from beating him. Stay with the plan from now on, do you understand the importance of Edward?" Lust had said while staring out at the starless sky.

"Yes of course I understand the plan. Don't treat me like a kid, Lust." Envy growled lowly and waited to see what will happen within the next hour.

Roy smiled as Ed came to. He was relieved to see him there awake and recovering, tears were filled with joy instead of fear.

''Don't move too fast Ed..'' he said as Ed shot up, but he knew he had said it too late when he saw Ed quickly lay back down from the pain.

'Well at least his nerves are working alright..' he thought, chuckling to himself in his head. When Ed finally noticed him, he couldn't help but leak a few more tears.

''I know, Fullmetal. I guess I'm just an old man who has built up so many bad memory's over the years, built up so much sadness inside me that when I saw you earlier, I guess it was too much and the barriers broke.'' he said, sighing lightly as the smile on his face showed Ed that he was relieved.

''And what happened? Well, even I don't know all of it.. But at first I thought you were just in the bathroom doing your business or something, but then you were in there way too long, I opened the door and there you were on the floor, unconscious and there was blood around your mouth... I didn't know what to think or do, my body just acted without my thought. I just picked you up, asked Alphonse where the nearest hospital was and ran as fast as my legs would take me until I got you here.. Your breathing was shallow and you were going deathly pale... I thought I was going to lose you today Edward... I'm just grateful your still here.'' Roy said, smiling. And then when Ed asked about his brother his smile vanished slightly.

''I have been wondering that too for the past half hour since I noticed his presence has been missing... I wanted to wait until you woke up - not wanting to leave you...'' he said. At that moment a nurse came in the room and opened the certain surrounding the bed.

''Mister Edward Elric? I have a message for you... it was given to you by a friend - i think'' she said, handing over the note to Ed, before leaving the two alone once again. Roy, who thought it was a little strange for Ed to be getting mail, especially at this time considering Ed had no friends - well none that he knew of - and if he did they wouldn't be at the hospital at the exact same time as they were coincidentally.

''Ed, I'd be careful with that... I doubt its going to be a 'get well soon' letter...'' he said, curiously eying the letter the nurse had given to him.

Ed carefully looked over the note, and spotted a slight array on it.

"A fire array.. Someone is planning to keep this note a secret.." Ed stated. He was shocked at how there was an array there. Ed thought of the homunculi and they couldn't use alchemy.

"Someone, an alchemist, is working with the homunculi.." Ed muttered. Ed carefully disarmed the array and carefully read the note. Ed visibly tensed in the hospital bed that he was sitting in.

As Al started to wake up, Envy walked over and placed the cloth over Al's nose and mouth, making him pass out again.

"Lust we can't keep waiting for the brat to come, we need to go get him ourselves.." Envy slightly growled. As Envy's patience grew thin Lust made her nails grow longer.

"You can wait another half hour, Envy." said Lust and returned to staring out the window.

Roy frowned as he raised a hand to his chin as he began to think of who it could be who was working with those monstrous homunculi. His memory gave him images of all the people he had met in the military, but none came across as the sort to help them.

'Hmm... this is going to take more research if we want to find them...' Roy thought as his face went back to normal as he sat back in his chair.

''Well, I can do some research about the alchemists in the military. But I highly doubt its one of them. Maybe its someone who didn't get into the military when... Ed what's wrong? What does it say?'' Roy asked cutting himself off as he saw Edward tense in the hospital bed made him concerned.
