CHAPTER 11
   I woke from a deep slumber to find that it was 10:45 am, and I was late.

   “Edward is going to have my head.” I said aloud.

   I rushed in the shower, put my clothes on, and brushed my teeth. The only thing on my mind was to get to him. I took the stairs three at a time and grabbed my keys from the hooks as I made my way out of the door. I turned to lock up, but that was all I had time to do.

   My heart fluttered, “I’m finally bringing Edward home with me! I imagined this would have happened when we were both happy and healthy, but fate is the ultimate deciding figure in cases such as this.” I broke from my fast walk into a sprint when the hospital came into my view.

   I ran up the steps and through the doors, followed by a small hallway, and into the lobby which I had panicked in last night.

   I walked up to the woman behind the desk, “Excuse me, Ms., but I’m here to pick up Edward Elric.”

   She was an older woman with graying blonde hair. Her frosty blue eyes were kind, but her face remained stern from years of working in a harsh place.

   She glanced up from her paperwork for a split second and returned it to the papers, “Give me your name.”

   “Roy Mustang.” I replied with confidence, as it came naturally.

   She nodded, “You were supposed to be here an hour ago, what happened?” Her voice was powerful.

   “I overslept. May I take Edward now?” It was the only thing on my mind.

   She turned away from the desk and pulled a file from the shelf. “This is his charts. I need to make one final check up before I release him.” She stood and left from the desk into a hallway on the left.

   I assumed she must be the head nurse, because she was the one to discharge him. I took a seat in the lobby and flipped through a magazine carelessly. I began tapping my foot and staring at the clock. The intercom came on and announced a few things from time to time, but I really didn’t pay attention. It had been thirty minutes.

   I thought to myself, “What is taking so long?”

   Just as the words formed in my mind, the doors opened and Edward was being wheeled out by the nurse from last night.

   “Hello again, Roy. I’m glad to see that you could finally make it.” She sounded cheery, but looked very tired. She must have been on night shift.

   “Hello. Edward, are you ready to go? Have you got your things?” I asked.

   “Yeah, they’re in this bag.” He grabbed it and stood, but the nurse grabbed him.

   “Oh no, Edward. You need to rest as much as you can. I know you probably won’t use it once you get home, but you need it until you get there. It’s hospital rules.”

   He sat down with a sigh, “Fine, I guess I’ll use this crumby thing.”

   She smiled, “Can you take care of him now, Roy? He isn’t on any medication, but he needs plenty of rest and fluids.”

   I returned the smile, “I can handle this. You look like you need some rest yourself.”

   She nodded, “Yeah, I was waiting for you to arrive so I could go home. Thank you.” She turned and left.

   She really knew how to guilt trip a man. I grabbed Edward’s wheelchair handles and asked, “Are you ready to go?”

   He nodded, “Yeah, get me out of here.”

   I smiled and pushed him out of the doors.

   Roy has the best smile I have ever seen on a man. I couldn’t help but snicker a little myself as I was being wheeled out of the hospital, because I knew that moments from now, I would be in the arms of the man I love more than anything.

   “So Roy, uh, thanks for taking me home with you. I really appreciate it.” I said nervously.

   He nodded, “Anytime, listen, I need to go run some errands in town, so I’ll be home later. Do you think you can manage the house by yourself?”

   Somewhat disappointed, I nodded, “Yeah. I got it.”

   He wheeled a little faster and stopped in front of this huge house, “Okay, I’ll take you inside and put you in your bed then run my errands.”

   He unlocked the door and propped it open. I blinked and before I could stand to let myself inside, he picked me up and carried me upstairs. He ran out of the room after placing me on the bed and returned shortly with my bag and chair.

   “Okay, I’ll be back in a little while. Do you need anything before I leave?” He asked sweetly.

   “No, I’m fine.” I replied.

   He left.

   I sighed as the door shut and I heard his footsteps descend the stairs.

   “Now what will I do?” I asked myself. “I practically have the rest of the day to think of what I will say to Roy when he returns…but where do I start? There are so many things I need to tell him…” I wracked my brain for ideas, and it was proving to be a very tedious task. “I don’t know what I’m going to say to him…”

   I looked out of the window and watched people walk about the town. I spotted a couple happily holding hands and smiling. “Damn it all. When will I get my chance to be like them?”

   “Who are you talking to Edward?” Roy chirped from the door.

   How long had I been in deep thought? I flicked my glance into the hall and spotted the clock. It had been four hours.

   “It’s none of your business.” I folded my arms in embarrassment. Why did he have to walk in on me now?

   “Okay, since it’s none of my business, I won’t tell you about my life since you’ve been gone. That’s a fair trade, right?” He smirked.

   I gritted my teeth, “What do you want me to say?”

   He walked over to the bed and sat down beside me. “I don’t want to be kept in the dark. Tell me everything. I want to know how you’ve faired since you’ve been gone, and after you’ve finished, I’ll tell you about me. Deal?” He stretched his body out on the bed and turned so that he was facing me with his head propped up on his left hand.

   I sighed, “All right.”

   Roy smiled, “That’s what I wanted to hear.”

   I began to tell him how the other side looked, and about all the people I met. He cringed when I mentioned Hughes, but he listened anyway. I continued all the way until I was captured by Raul and taken to Lab 5.

   “Wait, you said Raul captured you?” He asked, and he looked alarmed.

   “Yeah, I remember that I wanted some breakfast, and that I was fixing it while Raul was shouting about my bags, then everything went black. When I woke up, I was in the lab with Raul and Hawkeye.”

   “Whoa, Ed. That wasn’t Hawkeye, it was Envy. I saw her change with my own eyes.”

   I stopped. Envy was back? How!? I thought I sealed the gate when I came back to the other side! Oh no, this meant that the others could be back as well.

   “Roy, this means the others could be here too! What are we going to do?”

   Roy looked away from me for a minute and looked back, “We need to find him.”

   “How? He could be anyone at any given moment!” My head started spinning.

   “Ed! Edward, you need to calm down. We’ll figure this out when your health is back to normal. Don’t worry about it. You killed most of them off, didn’t you?”

   I stopped to think for a moment, “Yeah, I killed off Greed and Sloth.”

   Roy nodded, “I killed off Pride.”

   “Lust was destroyed by Wrath…well, Raul.”

   “So that leaves Raul, Envy, and Gluttony, right?”

   I nodded. “Dante created Envy and Gluttony, so if we tear her place apart we should be able to find their remains.”

   Roy looked at me slightly confused, “Why do you think their remains would still be there?”

   “Why else would she be living off to herself on an enormous estate? She must have been hiding something important, but now that she’s gone we really can’t interrogate her, can we?”

   Roy smirked, “Sometimes I think you know too much.” He put his arm around me.

   I blushed, “Um, do you think you could bring me something to eat? I’m starving.”

   “Of course Ed, and I’ll have Hawkeye look into some files for me. We need more information before we can continue with any of this.”

   I nodded. “Do you really think they have information on this subject at Central?”

   He was already out of hearing range.

   ‘Will I ever have enough courage to ask him about us?’

   Roy returned shortly with a tray of food. “Here you go, Ed. I made some eggs, bacon, toast, and some fresh orange juice. I know you don’t like milk.”

   He gave it to me and I began eating right away.

   “I’m glad to see that your appetite has returned.” He returned to the same spot he was lying in before, with his arm around me.

   I blushed and continued eating. “Roy, I…”

   “What is it Ed?” He looked up at me.

   I smirked, “Nothing.”
