Dangerous Waters

Im back, and with a new chapter for you guys! Im sorry its so short, and if there are any formatting or spelling errors. Leave a review, or PM me! Ive decided to focus a little on Alphonse in this chapter, since he hasnt really been mentioned at all since chapter 1 XD. In any event, this chapter might be a little...weird.

Disclaimer: I dont own Fullmetal Alchemist, or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Flames will be used to heat my house.

Roy Mustang, the famed Flame Alchemist, was not very fond of children to say the least. The way snot dribbled out of their noses, drool dripped down their chins, their grubby hands that grabbed at everything and anything, everywhere, made Roy cringe and hold up his fingers in a cross, as if they were some unholy beasts sent straight from hell to warn him of his womanizing ways. So, when Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist, found out that a certain golden haired, sun eyed 12 year old had become a State Alchemist, passing the exam with flying colors and rainbow ponies, it was an understatement to say that Roy was shocked. Who in their right minds would have such a young boy become a dog of the millitary? Oh yeah, the same person who would grab a crippled boy by his collar and yell in his face. Him. Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist. And he was even more surprised when he found himself acting as a father figure for the Elric brothers. For the love of the Gate, this would be a long run...

CHAPTER 12: AWAKE

If it was possible to chew without teeth, Alphonse's gloves would have been reduced to swiss cheese by now. He sat, alone, in the dorm room. the one he usually shared with his brother, with his head, or rather his helmet, in his hands. Edward hasnt woken up for 2 weeks. 2 weeks! And if he didnt wake up tomorrow, that would make it 3 weeks. Almost a whole month. He wanted to cry so badly. To sit with his brother, and hug him, and actually feel him in his arms. To Alphonse, it wasnt the inability to sleep, or the inability to eat, it was the inability to feel. To touch. He could deal with staying up all night, while watching his brother sleep. He could deal with watching his brother scarf down food that would feed a whole army, but was actually feeding them both. But what he hated, absolutely loathed, was being unable to hug his brother, when he was broken. He couldnt so much as give him a ressuring pat on the back, not one filled with life. It was cold, and empty, just like the shell he lived in.

~*Dangerous Waters*~

Edward bolted upright in his hospital bed, sweat dripping down his face, back, and wherever else it could get access to. His breath came out ragged and labored, his heart beating mercilessly in his chest. His eyes darted around nervously in the unfamiliar room he was in. Looking down at himself, he took in the clothes he didnt remember wearing, and he registered the heavy bandages sitting against his head. His frienzied self-evaluation was interrupted by the door swinging open, Roy barging in, panting from his run. "E-Edward?" Said boy looked up, eyes frightened, distant, and tearful. Edward himself wasnt even aware of the tears that ran down his face as he asked, "Wh-who are you?"
