Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Lonely ❯ Secrets and Lies ( Chapter 9 )

This is my second FMA fic. There are a few warnings: Winry bashing, Al OOC, Ed OOC, and this will be an Ed/Roy pairing. This fic switches POV back and forth between Ed and Roy. Some chapters with have both POVs, some only one. I don't own FMA but this original story is mine.

 

There is also a color key.

 

Black: Author's notes and other people speaking.

Black with * means random noises.

Blue: Roy (Both thoughts and speaking in and out of POV mode)

Red: Ed (Both thoughts and speaking in and out of POV mode)

Now without further ado, here's the story. Enjoy!

 

Lonely

 

I don't know why I suspected Rockbell but after how I found Edward yesterday, nothing she would've done would surprise me.

 

“Why did you say Winry's last name, Roy?” Ed asked as he looked at me with those innocent, golden eyes. Fletcher was now standing next to his older brother.

 

“I was think Winry was the one sending your letters back your friends' letters,” I explained.

 

“What's going on?” Asked Russel as he eyed me, a bit confused.

 

I explained what happened since yesterday and Ed told them, even though it must've been painful, what happened before I picked him up. The younger brother, Fletcher, started bawling after we finished my hypothesis with the letters.

 

Russel looked shocked but Fletcher was just bawling. I think Roy and I should've just told Russ after Fletcher went to bed.

 

“Aw Ed!” Fletcher sobbed, “I'm so sad for you! You must've felt very lonely and no one was able to find out!”

 

He jumped into my arms and, even though I tried really hard not to, I sob along with him.

 

“That's really sick,” said Russ angrily “This girl needs to see a shrink. Was Al smoking something when he proposed?”

 

“That was one of my thoughts,” said Roy.

 

I held Fletcher as he cried for me while I cried for Al. Why did you let her hurt me? I know there's more the story than what you told Roy and I. I just know it.

 

* Crash*

 

I look over at where the noise was made and I noticed that Fuery accidentally dropped his wineglass and it broke. Hawkeye was helping him pick up the pieces. However, it brought back a really bad memory.

 

((Flashback))

 

I accidentally broke a glass because I was doing the dishes. I tried to transmute it back together when…

 

“EDWARD!” Winry screamed, “THAT'S FOR THE WEDDING! YOU'RE DEAD!!!”

 

She drags me by my braid into the closet and locks me in.

 

“YOU CAN STAY IN THERE TONIGHT, YOU STUPID PIECE OF CRAP!” she yelled. Then I heard her stomp off and I curl into a ball.

 

I sob the entire night while she and Al are sleeping.

 

((Flashback End))

 

I'm brought back to realty when Russel said, “Ed! You're as white as a ghost!”

 

Ed looked like he was going to faint and he was as white as his clothes!

 

“Ed!” I said as I held on to him, “Are you okay?”

 

He didn't say anything and started to shake like a leaf! He was sweating bullets while his skin was cold and clammy! Then he turned green and looked like he was going to puke! The Tringum brothers and I took Ed to the bathroom, where he as hideously ill as he practically threw up everything in his stomach!

 

“Ed, what's wrong?” I ask as I'm holding his hair back and holding him up.

 

“A memory came back,” he whispered, “When Furey broke a glass.”

 

“Is Ed alright?” asked Russel, who held Fletcher back.

 

“He says that a memory came back when a glass broke,” I reply.

 

Edward finally stopped vomiting, grabbed some toilet paper, wiped his mouth, flushed to toilet, and fell back from the kneeling position near the toilet into a laying position in the stall! I allowed him to lay his head in my lap. The Tringum brothers rushed over to us.

 

“Ed?” asked a very concerned Fletcher, “Are you sick?”

 

I heard someone else come into the bathroom. We look up and see Fuery and Havoc looking into the stall we were all in.

 

“Is the chief okay?” asked Havoc, his cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

 

“What's wrong with him?” asked Furey, who took his coat off to make Ed a make-shift pillow.

 

I lift Edward's head and put it on the `pillow'.

 

Nice. One damn glass breaks and I go into a panic attack! I explained about the memory and after I finished, I see Furey, Havoc, and Fletcher with shocked looks on their faces while Russel looked at me with concern. Roy, however, looked royally pissed off and he carried me, bridal style, out of the stall after giving Furey back his coat.

 

“Let's go back to my place, Ed,” Roy says quietly. I simply nod.

 

“Havoc, Furey,” he says to them, “Please clear the party soon. Edward is too sick to stay and I would rather he got his presents when he's better.”

 

“Yes Sir!” They said as they left. Then Roy turned to the Tringum brothers.

 

“Please see if anyone else sent letters to Ed only to have them sent back, unopened. Here's a pad and pen so you two could write their names down and tell them all to come see me in a few days.” He gave them the pen and pad while still holding me.

 

“You bet,” said Russel as he took the pad and pen. Then he looked at me and said, “Get better soon. Okay, Ed?”

 

“Okay,” I say weakly as my eyelids start drooping.

 

Fletcher looks up at me and says, “Happy Birthday, Ed. Please get better.”

 

“Thanks,” I whisper as they leave the bathroom.

 

“Let's go home,” says Roy as he cradles me in his arms.

 

At first I thought he meant the apartment where Al and Winry were but, his eyes said the home we had at his place.

 

“Yes, please,” I sigh with a smile.

 

He carried me into the limo and we got buckled in.

 

“Go to sleep, Edward,” he says softly as he holds me in the car, “Get better.”

 

The hypnotic effect of his voice combined with the rhythmic sound of his heart beat cast me into a deep and spellbinding sleep.

 

“Good night, my Fullmetal Angel.” HUH?! Did he really say that or am I dreaming?!?!

 

 

TBC! Thanks to all my reviewers! More chappies coming soon! Ja Ne! (Later!)
