Chapter 1
The smell of roses filled his nose as the young alchemist awoke. When his eyes focused, he found that he didn't recognize the room he was in until he heard the faint beeping noise. Turning to his left he saw many different machines and a tube running into his arm. He let his eyes wander down from where the tube stuck into his arm and looked at the tight bandages that were wrapped around his wrist. Slowly, he attempted to raise his right arm but found it restrained.
"You should relax, brother," Al said as he entered the small hospital room with Winry following. His voice was full of worry. "You've been asleep for a week."
"I've been so worried, Ed," Winry said, tears running down her cheeks. "What happened to you?"
Ed turned away from their faces and toward the windows. How could he tell them what had made him end up this way? It wasn't like he didn't trust either of them, he just didn't want them to know. A tear slid down Ed's cheek as he thought back to the event that made him end up this way.
One Week Earlier
Ed walked down the street away from Central toward Roy's house. He whistled to himself as he thought about what a surprise it would be for Roy to see Ed at his doorstep after a few years of being away. Before Ed had left, he remembered, they had promised each other one thing.
'I won't leave you for anything,' they had said to each other. Until now, Ed always believed that their promise was still intact after so long.
When he arrived at Roy's house, it was Ed who was surprised by his findings. Out in the backyard, Ed saw Roy sitting with a baby in his arms and a woman standing over his with her hands on her stomach, smiling. Disbelieving what he was seeing, he made his was to the front door and rang the doorbell. For a moment everything was quiet, until he heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching the door.
The door opened slowly, allowing time for Ed to take in who had answered the door.
"May I help you?" The young woman from the backyard answered, smiling at him.
Ed shook his head and pushed passed her into the house and to the backyard, ignoring her cries to stop. Once he made it to the backyard he found Roy laying the baby in the playpen to sleep. He walked up behind Roy and grabbed his shirt, turning him around.
Before Roy could protest, he found himself on the ground with a bloody nose. He looked up and saw Ed standing over him with an angry look on his face.
"Roy?" The woman yelled when she exited into the backyard where Ed and Roy were. "Are you okay?"
"Aria, go inside." Roy said, holding his nose and standing. "Take Ellie with you."
Aria walked over to the baby and took her inside, a worried look on her face.
Ed stared at Roy, anger filled his golden eyes as he clenched his fist ready to punch him again.
"Ed…"
"What the hell are you doing?" Ed asked his voice shaky with anger and sadness. "You promised to wait."
"You were gone, Ed." Roy said, trying to make him understand. "I thought you were dead."
"You lied to me!" Ed screamed before turning and running into the house. Roy followed after him, worried.
"Stop! ED!"
In his haste, Ed tripped over the table that sat right inside the front door. He now leaned against the doorframe, breathing heavily from running and crying. How could Roy betray him like this. It wasn't supposed to be this way.
Behind him, Roy stopped and watched as Ed breathed. Then just as he was about to grab Ed's shoulder he saw a flash of light from the alchemist.
"Ed?"
"You promised you would wait for me, Mustang," he whispered turning around. "Before I left you said that nothing could tear us apart. You lied to me! I HATE YOU!"
At the end of Ed's automail arm Roy saw a sharp blade. Involuntarily, he took a step back away from Ed.
"What are you doing?" Roy asked, watching Ed's expression.
"I HATE YOU!" Ed screamed before running the blade over the flesh part of his left arm.
At first the blood flowed slowly from his arm then it came at a quicker pace. Ed stared at Roy's face with anger as his vision dimmed then completely went away.
"Ed?" Winry's voice brought him back to the present time. "Please tell us what happened."
Ed shook his head, refusing to answer her question. He leaned back against the bed and closed his eyes, wishing that they would leave.
"Everyone back at Central are worried about you," Al said, sitting on a chair at the end of the bed. "Hawkeye wanted to come see you but she was too busy scolding Mustang. She sends you her regards though."
Al noticed how his brother's face cringed at the sound of Mustang's name. Maybe this has something to do with him, Al thought but decided not to say anything.
"I can't stay long, brother," Al said, watching Ed. "I have to take Winry back to the hotel."
"We'll be back tomorrow, Ed," he heard Winry say before she left with Al.
Ed lay in bed, surrounded by silence for a long time. He drifted off to sleep as the sun passed too far over the building for the sunlight to shine in the window.
"Please, be quiet, sir," Ed heard someone say as the door to his room opened.
Slowly, Ed turned to see Hawkeye entering the room, pulling Mustang behind her.
"Go away," Ed said, looking away from the pair.
"Excuse me," Hawkeye said, glaring at Roy. "I am not aware of what went on between the pair of you but I can guess that it's Mustang's fault you are in here."
Roy wore a worried look on his face as he watched Ed's reactions to her words. Had he known that Ed was still alive he would've waited for his return, but he had received word that the Fullmetal Alchemist was dead. What was he supposed to do, mourn for the rest of his life?
"Now, if I may, I want an explanation." She said, angrily. When neither said anything, she continued, "None of us are leaving until I hear what is going on."
Ed glanced at Hawkeye, despite the anger in her voice her face showed sympathy. Sighing, he raised his left arm up in front of his face and began explaining, leaving out a good bit of information. After an hour, Ed stopped talking but didn't bother looking at either of them. He had laid back against the bed and closed his eyes, tears brimming his eyes.
Hawkeye said nothing before she left the room, leaving Ed and Mustang alone together.
"Ed," Mustang began, not really knowing what to say. "I didn't know."
Now he was angry. "Somebody comes up to you and says, 'The Fullmetal Alchemist is dead,' and you don't even look to find out if its true!" Ed screams, alerting those outside but the door never opened. Hawkeye was probably just outside the door, waiting.
"I'm sorry, Ed, what was I supposed to think after hearing that? You were gone for three years," Mustang said with his hands on his face. "I never received anything telling me that you were alive, that you were safe."
Ed was silent , just a faint breathing could be heard.
"Ed?" When he didn't receive and answer, he stood and moved to the bed. Looking down, he saw a slow stream of blood running down Ed's face from his mouth. "Ed?"
Mustang rushed out and got a nurse; he waited outside the room with Hawkeye. Every so often, Mustang would look at the clock above the nurse's desk and sigh. It was taking far too long for them to do whatever they were doing.
"Please, sir, stop sighing," Hawkeye said after that last sigh. She was beginning to get annoyed at his sighing. "Fullmetal will pull through this, he's been through worse before."
"This is all my fault," Mustang replied, looking up here from where he sat. "He's like this because of me. Before he left I promised to wait, I told him I loved him. Yet, after hearing of his death, I went and got married to Aria. How can he forgive me for what I made him do?"
Before Hawkeye could reply, Al and Winry made their way up to them. Winry told them that she couldn't just sit at the hotel and wait for Ed to make a recovery.
"Why are you sitting out here?" Al asked, taking a seat beside Mustang. "I thought you were be in there talking with Ed."
"I was but," Mustang said, taking a deep breath. "Now the nurses are with him."
"What? What's wrong with Ed?" Winry yelled, covering her mouth.
"I don't know." Was all that he said, looking down.
The four of them sat outside the room, waiting for the nurses to exit Ed's room. They were all worried, even Hawkeye who rarely showed when she was worried. She had to threaten Mustang numerous numbers of times for either sighing or pacing. Soon, Winry had fallen asleep leaning on Al and Hawkeye had gone for a walk. This left Al and Mustang to talk alone.
"Did you really love my brother?" Al asked, catching Mustang off guard.
For a moment Mustang just looked at Al with surprise then he turned away. "Yes, I truly loved him."
"Then perhaps this is just his punishment then," Al replied, standing with Winry in his arms. "I'll be taking her back now. You watch over Ed and call us when you've heard how he is doing."
Mustang stared after Al. What did he mean by 'his punishment'? Was that about Ed or himself?
